Chapter 1389 Destruction of the Statue of Liberty
Cheng Biguang looked at his watch. At 6:39 in the morning, the results calculated by the computer were quite accurate. He could even calculate the exact dawn time in New York in Baotou, thousands of miles away. This made him feel very magical. Many things, as long as they are used easily, he doesn't have to know this principle. Just like the command system and the fantasy level, his job is to command this battle.
From Qingdao, China to New York, the United States, for a journey of tens of thousands of nautical miles, he walked along the way, and every scene was engraved in his heart. Four main ships with a total displacement of more than 180,000 tons successfully broke through many defense lines and arrived quietly outside New York in a long time. This is a miracle in itself. At this moment, his mission was almost half completed, and success was almost inevitable.
It was Thursday, the day of work, but at this time, most of the people who worked were still sleeping, only a small number of people preparing today's breakfast, and only a small number of cleaning staff were cleaning up on the main streets. A huge city that is worth a few in the world was about to wake up from its sleep. Even the busy port became quiet. Those ships leaving the port at night had already left the port. After the early morning, there were quite a few. At this time, there were only a small number of people on night shifts above the port, and people who were about to get off work were checking the cargo in the port cargo yard.
With the help of the faint sky light, Cheng Biguang first turned his attention to today's first target, the Statue of Liberty, which is located in the mouth of Hudson River in New York. It was not on the coast of New York, but was chosen as the first target. However, New York in this era is far less developed than later generations. From the lower New York bend to the upper New York bend, there was no obstacle. In the clear bay, they clearly saw the huge bronze statue located at the mouth of the river.
Cheng Biguang had no idea about this huge bronze statue, which looked huge, but he was a little surprised. Why did the middle part use this place as the first target of the attack? Fortunately, it was just a bronze statue and it couldn't take him long.
At this time, New York, which came out of the dark night, had more things to see, and even the harbor was clear at a glance. Looking at New York, which was unprepared and even mine blockade, Cheng Biguang smiled slightly. The United States has been safe for too long, and they don’t even have the most basic defense. This is simply a joke. Even the military port located in China’s safest Bohai Sea has a large number of watchtowers and patrol boats, 24-hour uninterrupted patrols, and even a large number of planes.
Perhaps, this is the relationship between the two sides, this huge and important city in the United States will become a battlefield since today and will be engulfed by the war.
Using radio to inform all gun positions to be prepared, it is just a bronze statue. One ship's 12 cannons can be destroyed by 3 volleys. They use special armor-piercing shells, which have excellent armor-piercing performance. For such armor-protected objects, they are just ordinary bronze objects. The destructiveness is amazing. Even when they hit the key point, they will break him apart.
The large-diameter 15-inch and 52-caliber naval gun is equipped with the most sophisticated tungsten steel armor-piercing shells. This armor-piercing shell can easily pass through the mean steel plate about 1 meter. Especially now, through dynamics and fluid dynamics, the shells can maintain more kinetic energy. Low-speed heavy shells are used, which not only has a large weight, but also has good speed retention, especially for heavy targets.
This time, not only did the Statue of Liberty need to be knocked down, but it even had to be destroyed so that he could not repair it casually. A bronze statue that took more than ten years to cultivate may be an unimaginable work of art and even has the value of cultural relics. However, in Cheng Biguang's eyes at this time, it was just a target of attack.
The soldiers were already ready on the warship, all of whom reached a critical position, and the flashing red lights were constantly flashing, representing the beginning of the battle. The fantasy-level ship responsible for the attack began the last wave of determination according to the shooting elements that had been determined.
The long journey and hard-working persistence finally gave birth to the fruits of victory at this moment. This is exciting for every soldier. In their opinion, the Americans' actions were simply crazy. They not only detained China's huge materials, but also exploited millions of Chinese people, not only taking away all their property, but even letting go of the rations they depend on for their lives. If China had not evacuated its overseas Chinese in time, most of them would have died in the United States. In this way, in a very short time, nearly 400,000 people eventually died because of the United States. This is unforgivable for China, which values life.
The soldiers who were fully focused, the inspection of the specified items, the huge muzzle pointed to the Statue of Liberty in the distance, made the final adjustments based on the data given by the computer, waiting for the order to be fired.
"Prepare, let it go!" With the order, the fantasy level aimed at the Statue of Liberty, and then began the first round of volleys. The 12 artillery fired almost at the same time. The high-speed cannon took only a few dozen seconds, even faster than the sound, and crossed the distance between the two sides, less than 20 kilometers. At the first moment, the Statue of Liberty was fired around the Statue of Liberty. Among them, the two rounds on the chest did not pass through the Statue of Liberty, but the remaining ones hit different parts, such as hands, legs, countless pieces and stones fell, and the entire island turned into a piece of gunpowder.
No one expected that the Statue of Liberty would be attacked. The Americans on the island, not even know what was wrong, thought it was an earthquake, but countless fire lights and explosions told them that this was not an earthquake, but a war was coming.
The Statue of Liberty is not a military department. Although there is a small team of American troops on duty, they have not installed wired telegrams. They are not even able to contact the New York military port at the first time. The chaos and explosions are overwhelming. The people who just woke up will not realize that they are being attacked even if they hear the sound of cannons.
In less than 1 and a half minutes, the Statue of Liberty had been knocked down. Judging from the current attack, the least broken into 5 sections. The head, legs and **** were the most violently attacked. The head and **** were broken into countless pieces, which were completely destroyed.
New York also seemed to have discovered the situation of the islands that were close to them, but before they could report it, the shells fell on their heads. New York is not a military port, and at least there are no large-scale warships. According to intelligence, there are some torpedo boats, but torpedo boats are inside the estuary, or even deeper. Where can I choose other targets unless the fantasy level penetrates deeper into the estuary.
Among the many targets, the merchant ships anchored in the port became the best targets. While attacking the Statue of Liberty, Cheng Biguang also ordered the other three ships to prepare. When it was confirmed that the Statue of Liberty was destroyed and could not be repaired, a new attack also came.
The first wave of attacks was towards these merchant ships. Because the Great Lakes Region is the most important heavy industrial base in the United States. As one of the seaports of the Great Lakes Region, New York is not only the financial center of the United States, but also the largest port. More than 30% of the materials transported to the United Kingdom are in New York. Due to busyness, New York is full of various merchant ships for most of the time.
There is no need to use armor-piercing shells when dealing with merchant ships, and even large-caliber naval guns are a bit wasteful. For safety, the warship did not approach, but still maintained a distance of 20 kilometers and carried out a wave of free shooting at the port. A total of 20 rounds of artillery fire, nearly 1,000 shells were fired, most of which were high-explosive bombs, which immediately turned the calm New York port into a flame.
It was estimated that at least 200 ships were sunk, and the entire ports, warehouses, and even most of the attached equipment in New York were turned into ruins. The war finally landed on the Americans two years after the United States participated in the war, giving them a profound lesson.
Not to mention anything else, these 200 ships are enough to make this attack effective. Because it was the early morning, the ships loaded and unloaded yesterday were concentrated in the port and waiting to set off today. However, they did not expect that it would be a disaster. Among the 200 ships, 30% were full of supplies, half were raw materials, from Europe or the Americas, and the other half were military items. During the attack on this day, at least more than 300,000 tons of military supplies were destroyed.
If the warehouses on the shore are included, the losses will be greater. Even the port of New York will not be able to return to normal in less than a few months. If it is just this, it will affect at most a port in New York, USA. However, New York's development is not just because of its port, so this attack is not all the next
After the New York Harbor completely entered a sea of fire and destroyed a large number of merchant ships, the warships began to start. Although they were not at the highest speed, they held their heads inward and were obviously approaching the estuary. At this moment, 10 minutes have passed since the first wave of kilograms, and the sky has become brighter. The New York authorities confirmed that they were attacked. After searching for it, the New York Harbor noticed that there was a fleet that was attacking them on the sea. Since it was outside the main channel and the defense of the waves, not many fleets would think of this direction, but this was fatal. Warships, especially the main battleships, are not only the main force of the decisive battle at sea, but also the main force of the ground attack. Their arrival is simply a nightmare for New York.
