.    Chapter 540 Long-range Rockets

The battle on the ground ended the day before the beginning with both sides throwing bombs and expending. After all, the protagonist of the first day of the battle was not the Army, but the Air Force and the Navy.

Although the commander of the army has some complaints about this, after thinking about it for so many years, the army has always been a pig's feet in the war. Now with the development of modern warfare, the single power of a certain army is deformed, and the army has always accepted the benefits of the Air Force in controlling air supremacy for a long time. We must not forget our roots.

In the words of Li Zongren, who has been a soldier and commander in the local armed forces for many years, said: Since joining the Chinese Federal Army, the New China army, he has never been bombarded and fired by other people's planes!

The battle on the first day was a huge result, and the third US special mixed fleet, which focused on target, suffered the heaviest blow. The Chinese Air Force launched a total of four waves of attacks, and the attack lasted until the evening.

And the next morning, the H-6 bomber formation, which had a certain rest, launched another pursuit battle, sending the last part of the ships into the seabed.

After the last warship was sunk or seriously injured, 80% of the warships of the third special fleet were sunk and severely injured in the final battle. Although the seven battleships finally fled back to four with their tough bodies, two of them had lost most of the combat capabilities and were sent back to the United States for major repairs after fleeing back.

A total of eight aircraft carriers were destroyed, five of them were destroyed, one aircraft carrier and four light aircraft carriers. As for the transport ships carrying the 4th Armored Mechanized Division of the United States and the 3rd Marine Division, they became the key targets of the attack, with nearly 60% of the officers and soldiers sank into the cold seabed with the ships.

One percent of the officers and soldiers were lucky enough to have time to escape because the ship did not sink quickly. However, these soldiers and survivors were drifting without food or water on the sea and were drifting for three days. Most of them became temporary passengers on the ships that China rushed to.

Only a few soldiers and sailors were rescued by Australian, American, or other white passing ships. As for those who were not saved, God would probably accept them.

When the final outcome of the third special-mill fleet was sent to Nimitz by telegram, Nimitz was as speechless as if he was struck by lightning. Although fourth, the second special-mill fleet attacked the Chinese expeditionary fleet to surround Wei and rescue Zhao, and sank three Chinese destroyers and several destroyers.

There were even those strange warships, but the Chinese still resisted the casualties and killed most of the ships in the third special fleet. The loss of this ship was not a big deal for the Americans, let alone any injuries. However, the losses of more than 43,000 people in the fleet were definitely one of the biggest pains in the hearts of the Americans.

Moreover, most of these soldiers were Army or Marine infantry. They did not die on the battlefield, but died in burning ships and in the cold sea. This ending, this ending, is something that Nimitz and all Americans do not want to see.

It is still unknown how much impact this news will cause when it is passed back to the United States. After this day of battle, both sides suffered losses, but no matter how they look at it, the United States suffered a huge loss, and it suffered a huge loss.

A whole fleet of special mixed fleets!

Tens of thousands of infantry and a large number of equipment were sunk to the bottom of the sea, which was a huge loss that had never been seen in the founding of the United States. Moreover, after paying such a huge loss, the failure to obtain corresponding benefits would make the people view this matter.

Although he gained some results in the raid on China's expeditionary fleet, no one dared to mention how heavy the result he had paid. Less than 20% of the fighter jets sent by the Fourth Special Mixed Fleet could fly back.

As an auxiliary attack, the second special-mix fleet sent out to the end, and the last remaining aircraft were only a few of them stumbled back with injuries. The two special-mix fleets now basically no longer have the ability to send planes to fight, and the remaining number of aircraft was even difficult to protect themselves. Given the fate of the third special-mix fleet, Nimitz immediately ordered the two fleets to drive eastward to avoid the opponent's strike radius.

As for those aircraft, most of the more than 500 aircraft that participated in the attack on the Chinese Expeditionary Fleet became wreckage objects floating around the Chinese fleet or sinking to the bottom of the sea.

Long after the war, it has always been a holy place for the diving party. Although the submarine tombs of the Third Special Mix Fleet were even more massive and spectacular, due to the depth of the water, this sea area outside Lincoln Port attracted diving parties to become a favorite place.

At the same time, not far north, the positions of the Australian-American coalition forces on the east coast of Port Augusta are also the favorite place for the diggers. Here, there are too many Western soldiers and ordnances buried quietly under the ground, silently telling one tragic story after another.

These stories are silently telling how the Chinese killed one Western army after another at that time, and how the fierce artillery fire brought up a large amount of soil to bury them underground and become corpses.

The first day of the Battle of Port Augusta ended like this, but this end was not the final end. It was just the beginning. After his United Star Pioneer Task Force was beaten and wiped out, he returned to the command center and sat on the chair without saying a word for a long time.

After a long time, Patton slowly spoke a record that will always be remembered in history books.

In this battle, when the Chinese attacked Port Augusta and Australia, I thought it was just a sudden attack like the Chinese and Japanese devils, and the Chinese would retreat step by step under our attack like the Japanese devils.

But as the battle gradually escalated, I became more and more aware that what we Americans, especially the American soldiers, are proud of, have no effect in front of the Chinese.

The personal tactical qualities of aircraft, cannons, tanks, warships, and even soldiers are far inferior to those of the other party. Some are just failures and humiliations again and again.

Before coming here, Patton was convinced that the war would eventually turn into a massacre war. The current situation proved that his prophecy and estimate were completely correct, but his prediction was wrong, because the slaughtered party would only be the Allies.

This famous quote from Patton is indeed very correct, but the battle on the second day of the Port Augusta battle circle was not the 160 caliber heavy artillery that had always snatched the limelight, but the super-large caliber rocket launcher used on the battlefield this time.

This is a very important reason why the King of Land Warfare did not give Tiger main battle tanks before this. In front of artillery of various caliber, although the main battle tanks killed countless enemies, they died on the battlefield from the enemy troops opposite the Chinese, more of the heavy artillery and rocket launchers of the Chinese, as well as the heavy blows of aviation bombs.

Needless to say, heavy artillery has always been the focus of many people, and there is no need to say about rocket launchers. Since its birth, its unique launch characteristics and large-scale firepower coverage have always been snatching the limelight on the battlefield with traditional rifled artillery.

China's rocket launchers have always been at the forefront of the world due to Zhong Yang's existence. Whether it is the short-range 107 rocket launcher or the medium- and long-range 122 mm rocket launcher, they have always been effective weapons for military firepower support. Their good performance and moderate power have also been well received by frontline officers and soldiers. They are strong and durable, simple and convenient maintenance, and are also highly favored by the logistics department.

The combination of the length of the two weapons often produces unexpected special results. As for weapons, there is no best, only the most suitable one. In specific environments, bayonets are easier to use than automatic rifles. In various environments, only those who use weapons suitable for this environment to the extreme can be said to be real soldiers and warriors.

But today, in the second day of the battle in Port Augusta, the protagonist is neither the navy nor the air force, nor the tiger main battle tanks that belong to the army, nor those large-caliber heavy artillery.

The weather in the East District of Port Augusta today is not good. It may be that the third special fleet was beaten to the extreme yesterday. God suddenly took too many believers and felt a little uncomfortable. It was raining in the sky. After the war, some people described it as the rain of God crying.

Some people also say that this is the sweat that God was too busy yesterday to collect people and shed. No matter what the literati describe, in short, the rain now has brought certain inconvenience to the air force dispatch between both sides.

Chinese eight-wheel heavy off-road trucks entered the front line, and beside them were tank armored vehicles and air defense vehicles that escorted them. These eight-wheel heavy off-road trucks were covered with thick camouflage canvas.

Behind them, there are also eight-wheel heavy-duty off-road trucks, but the heavy trucks following behind are a little different from the ones that have a mechanical boom on the body of these heavy trucks, which are now curled up.

The convoys stopped moving forward about fifteen kilometers away from the opponent's firepower. Other vehicles and infantrymen on the armored vehicles spread out to create a warning and defensive position, while the main vehicles being defended firmly fixed themselves to the ground in the hydraulic support frame of the defense center.

The camouflage canvas wrapped behind the car body were unveiled, revealing six huge and slender sealed square boxes that were placed in two rows together.

When these sealed boxes gradually rise under the strong push of the hydraulic arms on the frame, the oblique angle pointed to the east of Port Augusta, the heavy truck with the boom behind was extending the boom to lift more sealed boxes from the heavy truck. The aluminum nameplate of the sealed box was clearly marked with steel to produce important data such as its own model and production date, and one line of words was quite eye-catching:

Hurricane Heavy Ultra-Long Range Rocket Eject Sealed Box, with a bullet diameter of 302 mm, a bullet length of 6466 mm, a bullet weight of 877 kilograms, a range of 30 to 280 kilometers, and a maximum flight speed of 2.7 Mach.

The warhead is 200 kilograms, and can be equipped with dual-purpose child-machine bomb warhead, comprehensive effect child-machine bomb warhead, cloud-explosion bomb warhead, kill-explosion burning warhead, kill-explosion battlehead...

The Hurricane ultra-long-range rocket launcher was quickly set up and adjusted, and the command vehicle also issued shooting elements and shooting preparation instructions to each launch vehicle. Under the control of the artillery control soldiers, the hydraulic arm lifted the weight and slightly adjusted the launch box to the launch angle assigned by the commander.

"emission!"

The sound of the harsh rocket breaking out sounded everywhere on the launching position. The huge rocket pulled the white tail smoke column and took off. Every eight seconds, another wave of the same sound and the same light appeared on the launching position. Fifty seconds later, each launching vehicle completed the first round of shooting mission.

At this time, the heavy trucks with cranes next to the rocket launcher were waiting for the launcher to lay the empty sealed boxes flat, and quickly hung the empty boxes off the launcher, and then hung the next batch of rocket air sealed boxes to be launched on the hydraulic boom of the launcher.

After the soldiers quickly lifted and fixed the connection control mechanism, these sealed boxes once again pointed to the sky under the control of the hydraulic arms. Soon, on the launching field, there was another harsh rocket roar, and a long column of smoke appeared in the sky.

On the Australian and American coalition positions, in several coalition airports, due to the poor weather today, many pilots and ground crews hid in simple tents and chicken cabins chatting or playing cards and were killing time. The news of the destruction of the third special mixed fleet of the Navy has not been heard so quickly. Everyone just thought that yesterday's battle was just an escalating conflict between the two sides like the last time.

Although I can't get over it, the Chinese can't get over it either. You should know that this is more than 100 kilometers away from the front line. If the Chinese crew of aircraft want to come and bomb themselves, the radar behind them has long seen it.

But these people who are chatting and fucking time don't know that there are a large number of terrifying killing weapons that destroy everything here are flying towards them quickly.

The first batch of rockets were already flying in the sky by relying on inertia. Under the influence of the earth's gravity, the rockets were already clearly rushing downward. During the flight end, the altimeter inside the rocket was constantly changing its readings, and the pointer was getting closer and faster to approach the red index.

Finally, when the pointer hits this red index, a slight explosion accurately explodes the rocket warhead. The powerful shock wave hits hundreds of comprehensive effect bullets preset by the warhead, and then shakes off the insulated steel balls inside these bullets and releases the insurance.

"What sound?"

Many people in the airport heard the whistling sound of rockets when the bullet body and the air rubbed during the final flight. They stopped their hands and ran out of the chicken cabin and tent. Looking up at the sky in the drizzle. Many people saw the scene they saw last.

A group of flying objects appeared in the sky, but these things made a banging sound over the airport. The originally big thing instantly turned into thousands of small black dots. As the raindrops fell to the ground, many people didn't know what was going on to find God for the answer.

These small black dots fell to the ground. In the survivor's story, these thousands of black things instantly turned the entire airport into a hell of metal projectiles and a sea of ​​fire!

Since the coalition forces were also temporarily and hastily built airports, the Australian and American coalition forces’ airports are mostly built with simple materials such as canvas, metal keels, etc.

After all, time is rushed, and after the battle, it will be demolished and evacuated, so no one wants to settle here forever. And such materials can exert the greatest destructive effect on bullets with a comprehensive effect.

Pre-set fragments splashed everywhere swept across the airport. Canvas could not stop the flight of the pre-set fragments from being penetrated one after another. The planes stored in the chicken stocking were mostly damaged by such a blow, and the planes parked outside due to insufficient location of the chicken stocking were even more riddled with holes and turned into waste products.

As for the pilots and ground crews, they were killed and injured under such destruction.

After the explosion, the entire airport has now become a Shura hell. The lucky ones stared at the events of this in the distance. All the surviving people were stunned. They couldn't believe that in just less than a minute, the originally vibrant airport turned into such a Shura hell. Those friends who had greeted and chatted not long ago turned into corpses or wailing wounded in that hell.

Finally, when someone reacted, he threw down his things and went to help, rushing to rescue the burning plane and rushing to rescue the wounded who were struggling dyingly.

But not long after, maybe ten minutes, or twenty minutes, who would have time to watch the time when he was busy? But at this time, the same sound just now appeared in the sky again.

The protagonists of the second day's battle were those ultra-long-range hurricane rocket launchers.

These rocket launchers with extremely long distances are very simple, which is to connect the Australian and American coalition forces into a position, kill all the airports within a range of close to the range!

The aircraft of the Australian and American Allied Forces are very annoying. Xiong Puliang and other commanders, who have always known the importance of air superiority, have long regarded the aircraft of the Australian and American Allied Forces as thorns in their eyes.

If they are not killed, they will not be able to exert their air superiority, and helicopters cannot pry the roof of American tanks unscrupulously. If Xiong Puliang wants to gain a huge combat advantage on the ground, then the opponent's plane and airport are the first targets to be killed!

However, the United States also has radars. Although the performance is poor, if you want to operate under the monitoring of the opponent's radar, one or two aircraft can operate on a small scale, but if you want to form an attack aircraft group, you will definitely not be able to escape the monitoring of the opponent's radar.

However, today, God's tears or God's sweat have helped a lot. The hazy weather is not suitable for small fighters and other small aircraft, and American aircraft are lying in the chicken coop. This is exactly the time to take the pot.

If the Air Force doesn't use it, then everyone's eyes will be turned on this hurricane ultra-long-range rocket launcher. Today is the day when this ultra-long-range rocket launcher becomes famous!
