Chapter 501: A small profit

When these little things fell to the ground, they did not explode, but George instinctively felt that this thing was even more terrifying than that heavy aviation bomb.

As expected, as George imagined, the explosion of these little things was far less powerful than those bombs, but the lethality produced by the explosion was definitely more efficient than those bombs.

If the bombshell is far away from the explosion when it explodes, it may be able to survive through concealment and some technical means of bearing explosions. Although it is dizzy and even caused by internal injuries, it can at least save its life.

This kind of cluster bomb is different. It falls near everyone's bodies when it comes up, making everyone so close to the explosion point.

The explosion has little power, but there are many pre-installed broken steel balls contained in it. The steel ball rain produced by the explosion of hundreds of cluster bombs is even denser than torrential rain. Within their killing power radius, any creature without armor protection will be hit by terrifying steel balls.

What's even more terrifying is that the time when these cluster bombs fell to the ground was not consistent. Some had fallen on the ground, but some were still floating in the air. This means that the moment they exploded at the same time, the air explosion that the infantry regarded as the most nightmare occurred on their heads!

For infantry without armor protection, ordinary landing bombs fly out at a certain angle due to the hardness, flatness and other aspects of the ground. If they can hide in trenches such as trenches with height difference at this time, they may die from the shock waves and powerful bombs at close range, but they will hardly die from shrapnel entering the body.

However, the air-exploded bomb is just lying on the ground. The nemesis of the trench, and the all-directional preset fragments with almost no dead corners can greatly ignore the dead corners caused by the differences in ground curvature and terrain, thereby achieving its maximum lethality power.

After a tremendous and earth-shaking continuous explosion, only moans were left on the position. There were not many scenes of broken arms and broken legs flying all over the sky. Only the corpse that could no longer stand up, holes covered with military uniforms and blood that quickly gushed out dyed the corpses blood red.

The American soldiers who were lucky enough to escape the invitation to death were also injured, and the entire position was filled with terrifying aura of death.

"Will!!" George immediately shouted to the old guy next to him who was also a little scared.

"It's actually here!" Will, who was ready to teach the Chinese people some lessons just now, only felt that his mouth was bitter and his mouth was not effective, and his words became stuttering with confidence.

"Prepare to retreat!" George almost squeezed out these words from his teeth.

"Retreat! Retreat!" Will immediately looked around and saw many American soldiers and officers who were silent in a brief loss of souls that were shocked by the power of the Chinese killing weapon.

"Yes! This battle cannot be fought. We have been beaten passively without even contacting each other. We are so miserable. I don't know what powerful weapons the Chinese have yet to use!" George stared at the Chinese troops getting closer and closer in front of him as he spoke.

"But how do you explain it from the sir?" Will was not stupid either. Although he had been trying to teach the Chinese monkey a lesson before, the scene in front of him had already made him realize that his opponent was definitely not as simple as he had imagined.

"Explanation? If he ordered the retreat immediately now, he would still live to the point where he could live. If he did not order the retreat, I would go to hell to explain to him in decades!" George glanced at the commander who was leading people to the position, and a contemptuous tone made Will know that in George's eyes, the captain was already dead.

"I'll listen to you!" Will knew that in terms of military rank, the company commander was indeed his immediate superior, but in terms of combat experience, the commander sent by the airborne was not even as good as George's new recruits.

Will also know that it was because George had some opinions about his orders when the captain first arrived that George could not be promoted. On the surface, George was inadequate in this way, but everyone knew that if the captain had not written anything that was not conducive to George's promotion in George's promotion report, then George would have been a platoon leader.

"We all listen to you!" Seeing the soldiers under his command nodding and expressing their opinions, George and Will were both satisfied with the soldiers' identification and compliance with them.

Among these people are recruits, and there are veterans who have followed them to fight. The recruits do not know much about themselves, but from the oral narratives of the veterans chatting, these recruits also know some truth.

Following behind George and Will, the experience and process of how these veterans survived from repeated battles. In this process of understanding, the recruits knew that if they wanted to survive, they would not be wrong with following George and Will.

"Very good. The opponent's first round of artillery bombings will be released later. If the area of ​​the shelling is not our area, you don't have to hesitate and retreat directly!" George looked at the now chaotic defense line, and secretly judged his retreat route and plan in his heart.

"What if the shelling was in our direction?" a recruit asked in confusion.

"If you follow Will and the shelling direction is still here after making some preparations, then pray that the shells will not fall on you!" George took the lead in kicking the sandbags he had built before, and Will was also helping his soldiers to destroy some of the newly built positions.

The smart veterans could see George's intention at a glance. George wanted to make this line of defense broken so that the other party would think that there was no value for shelling and give up shelling.

During wartime, gunners will regard the best objects built as the first destruction target and shoot. This is also the answer taken from the defensive side's perspective. As a defensive side, they will definitely build the bunker they hide, the stronger the better, and at the same time, the better the defense, and it is also the most important and core.

Sure enough, the first round of Chinese artillery bombings did not hit George and Will's defense line. The more beautiful the bunkers were built, the stronger the bunkers became thorns in the eyes of Chinese gunners. The grenades fired by tank guns were not as powerful as self-propelled cannons, but the plasticized high-explosion charge also made these bunkers a fragment of flying in the sky.

"Retreat!" With George's order, while everyone was still dizzy by the Chinese shells, George and Will had led his soldiers to quietly withdraw from the defensive positions in front.

In George's future memoirs, he described his first exchange of fire with the Chinese as a very embarrassing escape battle. He spent the rest of his life constantly greeting the families of incompetent and bureaucratic direct women at the top of the U.S. government, because it was these people's random command that put American front-line soldiers in such a dangerous situation.

The next day, after disposing of most of the remaining Australian troops, the Chinese army increased its attack on the US military. Unfortunately, the US military was much more flexible than Wang Junfeng imagined. Soon after receiving the enemy's fire, it voluntarily gave up its position and ran away.

Moreover, they ran quite decisively and thoroughly, directly from the defense core to the south along the railway line. When the Chinese front-line troops reacted, the US military had basically retreated its main force to the Windon area, leaving only a few Chinese main combat divisions who had prepared more troops and heavy weapons to vent their dissatisfaction as they watched the empty positions.

Wang Junfeng, who was ready to fight the US military in his heart, was very angry. He did not expect that the US military would evacuate so quickly. However, it was useless to get angry. The mess left by the US military still needed troops to come in and clean up the mess.

The remaining Australian troops still need people to understand. A battle that was originally highly expected by the top leaders of the Chinese army actually started with a violent start and formed a bad end.

The two unfinished battles in the east and south of Australia were fought one after another, which made Xiong Puliang’s face look ugly. What made him even more uncomfortable was that Cheng Wenli, the commander of the South Asian War Zone, also called to criticize Wang Junfeng severely.

The wording in the telegram was very stern. Although he did not meet the famous black-faced man in the army directly, Wang Junfeng could still feel the rage of the highest commander of the military region from the sentences in the telegram.

Just as Wang Junfeng was planning his next battle, another ambush was quietly unfolding in the waters east of Indonesia.

Indonesia is a country composed of many islands of all sizes. From the east coast to the west coast, this country spans nearly fifty longitudes and thousands of islands of all sizes. Some of the seas also have many reefs hiding under the sea and hiding their hideous serrations.

For such a complex environment and diverse hydrology, the US military has to take care of it with twelve points of caution.

Since China and the United States declared war, in order to resist the Chinese's eastward advance, the US military has increased its maritime patrol in these seas. Due to the complex hydrological conditions in these seas, many undercurrents under the sea, the depth of water, and the presence of reefs, the Chinese Navy's submarine forces are not easy to enter the place for submarine combat, and can only conduct submarine combat in some larger seas.

Similarly, the US military also has a certain understanding of these situations of Haven. In response to this situation, the Navy conducted a key patrol and defense at the entrance of some straits that are more suitable for submarine infiltration to control Chinese submarines to touch the strait and enter the rear and attack.

The US military's effect of this is quite effective. It is difficult for Chinese submarine troops to pass through the tightly defended strait entrances. If they cannot pass these strait entrances, it means that they cannot enter the other side's rear fleet routes to fight, which greatly reduces the results of submarine operations.

After gaining a certain advantage in anti-submarine operations, the US military gradually expanded its surface patrol scope with its powerful naval advantages. While maintaining the fleet's search patrol efforts, they sent some ships to the west for in-depth testing. This expansion exposed some of their weaknesses.

When the US Pacific Navy assembled into a large fleet, it had complete anti-submarine capabilities, but once it fell into singleness, the cutting-edge detection and guidance technology of the Chinese Navy took the lead.

On the blue sea, there are several small islands standing on the vast sea surface, with islands only a few square kilometers across. There are no fixed freshwater resources on the islands, and the land is barren and not suitable for humans to live here. Such small islands are too common in Indonesia.

However, just west of this island, there were more than a dozen light small-tonnage ships anchored here. They neither fired or smoked nor communicated. Everyone was silent, as if they were waiting for something to arrive.

"The Barracuda Squad, here is the 'watch tower'. Twenty nautical miles ahead of you, you will find a suspected target, with two targets. Judging from the size of the reflective source, it should be a patrol ship and a destroyer, with a target heading 277 and a speed of 20."

In the radio communication room, the clear call sound accurately informed the enemy situation, and the correspondent quickly and accurately recorded the communication record. From the satellite image, the Chinese military can easily obtain the mobilization of the US fleet in order to respond early.

"The Barracuda team received it!"

He hangs the communication microphone back into its deck with a snap, and his excitement makes his hands tremble slightly.

"Order the team to start the ship, we are going to find food!"

The order was quickly executed by the sailors who were equally excited. They saw more than a dozen white foams stirred and turned up by propellers on the sea surface, and more than a dozen blue camouflage speedboats that cut through the waves quickly plunged into the vast sea.

Half an hour later, more than a dozen torpedo speedboats entered the ambushing area rowed on the nautical chart where the captain was located. At this time, except for the ships of the shark hunting team, no other ships appeared on the vast sea.

Could it be that the other party turned to avoid and escape? Or is there another reason? But it doesn't matter. The people in the Barracuda team cannot see further, but it does not mean that no one can "see".

"Watch Tower, I am the Barracuda team. We have arrived in the ambush waters and have not found the target yet. Please continue to provide the other party's location!"

"Barket Squad, the other party is in front of your left, the speed remains unchanged, the course is 270, and the distance is five nautical miles."

"The Barracuda team received it! Let's start acting immediately!!"

More than a dozen torpedo speedboats quickly accelerated, but this time these torpedo speedboats were quickly divided into three groups, rushing towards the opponent from the front, middle and rear directions of the opponent.

"Discover the target! All accelerate to the maximum speed! Warriors, the food foraging operation has begun!"

When two ships emerged from the edge of the skyline, the speedboat drivers outputted the power to the maximum, and the engine transmitted huge torque to give the propeller a higher speed to the speedboat.

The two hydrofoils under the torpedo speedboat's hull gradually began to be subjected to huge stress in the water flow to lift the boat, reducing the resistance to friction between the water flow and the hull. The speed of the torpedo speedboat gradually accelerated to a terrifying speed of forty-three knots.

"A speedboat was found in front of the right front of the bow!" A voice came from the destroyer's observation deck where the US military was heading.

"The speedboat was also found approaching us on the right side of the ship's side!"

"There is also an unknown speedboat approaching us from the right rear of the stern of the ship!!"

The whimpering battle alarm was quickly sounded, and the unduly-official sailors on two US military ships rushed out of the cabin, put on their own combat outfits and entered their own combat posts.

Soon, various artillery on US destroyers and patrol ships opened fire quickly, and shells of various caliber quickly hit the Chinese torpedo speedboat, splashing white splashes.

"At three thousand, each ship enters the snake shape on its own to avoid the other party's firepower! Remember, although our 42-ton displacement is only the smallest ship unit in the Chinese naval sequence, our determination to participate in the war is by no means worse than anyone on the aviation industry at present! The large fleet has big goals, but these small targets that are single in front of us are the best goals for our hunting team! Good luck to everyone!"

After hanging up the communication, the leading torpedo speedboat rushed into the opponent's dense blocking fire. The helmsman observed the bounce points that kept landing beside him and judged the opponent's advance amount from time to time to avoid the opponent's fire interception. The other party seemed to have noticed the extraordinaryness of the speedboat, and more shells aimed at it and fired at it.

With a "dong!", the head of the speedboat half-retted was hit by a small-caliber artillery shell, and thick smoke quickly emerged from the hole.

"Are anyone injured or killed?"

"Captain! Dasun is injured!"

"Is the injury serious?"

"A big hole was made of a fragment on the head, and blood dripped all over the computer room! We asked Dasun to leave the computer room and bandage it, but he refused to leave the computer room! He said that bandaging now means being beaten to death by the enemy, and if he wants to die, he will not die here!"

"Good thing, now the distance is 1,700 meters. Either he dies or I forget it! The brave one wins when we meet on a narrow road!!"

There are not many sixteen torpedo speedboats, but there are many for two US military small tonnage ships. At the same time, because the discovery is late and the distance is close, it is very little time for them to warn and react.

"Captain! The opponent is too many! The speed is very fast. Our artillery can no longer organize more speedboats to approach us!" In the cockpit of the destroyer, the roar of the artillery weapons was transmitted through the internal communication horn with the continuous fire.

"Communication Force! Immediately notify the rear fleet of power generation. Chinese torpedo speedboats are intensively attacking our ships in a saturated manner. There are many small islands near the seas where our ship is located. It is estimated that the opponent's torpedo speedboat fleet has hidden in this area in advance. I believe that the ships that have disappeared before and were sunk were sunk by the same method."

"The opponent's torpedo speed is not only very fast, but also has a large number so that our ship cannot effectively intercept. At the same time, the most important thing is that our ship's operation is a temporary and random patrol operation. However, the opponent can accurately judge the direction and number of our ship. I believe that the opponent has some secret weapon to find our ship and track it, and notify its torpedo speedboat formation to set up an ambush in advance."

"Please pay attention to similar levels of risk in the future. Finally, in future operations, radar equipment can be installed on more warships faster and increase the early warning range of ships."
