Chapter 1806 along the coastline
The well-trained special forces have long been divided into more than 20 groups, which is also the most basic combat unit. There are two combat teams, 24 people, and some special people are a little less. There will be a team on each transport plane. Then when all the transport planes are fully loaded, this team of 50 strategic transport planes and nearly 120 fighter jets will fly to the Rocky Mountains. They will fly for 10 hours and conduct airborne operations on them after arriving at the location.
About 70% of the teams will be airborne to the first location, and wherever they are close to the entrance to the Rocky Mountains to the Central Plains of the United States is 30 kilometers away from the Pacific Railroad. They carefully selected it. This is a primeval forest. It is very difficult to get from the surroundings here. There has never been any trace of human activities. It is very close to the first target location. They will carry a kind of flying wing, which seems to be a triangular wing, which can fly from a peak in the valley.
This kind of flying wing is still something that surpasses this era proposed by Yang Yuanzhao. It uses light and extremely strong polymer composite materials to make the backbone and wing body, which not only allows a fully armed special forces to airborne, but also can carry 220 kilograms of supplies.
The person responsible for carrying out this mission is close to 500 special forces. They will carry 110 tons of explosives and other materials to such a location, completely blow up the tunnel of about 7 kilometers that entered the Rocky Mountains from the Great Plains, and then continue to move forward 25 kilometers. During this period, a large number of railway hubs, including at least 12 targets, completely paralyzing the pass that entered the Rocky Mountains, and preventing trains and troops from coming from the Great Plains.
By using parachute landing, you can save at least 15 kilometers of mountain roads, land vertically from a half peak 700 meters. With the help of fixed-wing triangular umbrellas, you can travel about 7 kilometers to reach the first landing point, the first place closest to them, at most 20 minutes. After landing in place, then, the explosives are buried. Although it can only be operated during the day, it is safe enough and saves a lot of time.
This is the most important closure action of Chen Cang's plan. Because he is important enough and has enough goals, he will occupy 70% of the personnel, but it does not mean that the other direction is not important. They need to seal both ends for the actions inside the Rocky Mountains. The other end is relatively easy, but it is also very important. Otherwise, their cherry blossom plan would not completely destroy the Pacific Railway in the entire Rocky Mountains, but just a little bit located at the link between the Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains.
The Ocean Railway is also a heavy blow, but as long as you bypass dozens of kilometers or no more than 100 kilometers, you can bypass this area. Perhaps if the Americans spared no expense, they would still be repaired in one or two years like the Panama Canal. Only by completely destroying 500 kilometers or even 600 kilometers of railways and destroying all nodes in this area, can the Pacific Railway be cut off when the investment in repair and detour is even higher than the reconstruction of a railway.
The Pacific Railway has been built for decades, and the most difficult part is the Rocky Mountains. As long as it starts again, it will cost more than just two or three years, or even longer, it will be enough to make the western United States ready to move. At that time, the strategic goal will be achieved.
The quiet airport itself became extremely lively because of the Chen Cang plan. Of course, in addition to them, the airdrop teams supported by the Sakura Plan will set off within an hour and a half, and take off more than 100 strategic aircraft in a row for 3 hours. Basically, there is no need to consider resting today. Although the last wave of airdrops was 150 kilometers away from Ogden, the attacking team and even the main attacking team did not stop, leaving only half of the tanks to receive airdrops and supplies. However, after today, after Salt Lake City and Ogden were captured, they must accept airdrops during the day tomorrow, otherwise, the New Army team would not have a continuous combat capability.
Now that it has been exposed, the United States will definitely know through telegrams what happened in Salt Lake City. In this case, sufficient supplies and super maneuverability will become their protective umbrella, support them, and carry out a continuous blow to the United States.
Therefore, even if the airdrop is only 5 hours, the second wave of planes will take off. From central Alaska to Salt Lake City in the United States, the straight-line distance is more than 4,500 kilometers, and it takes 10 hours of voyage. By the afternoon tomorrow, they will contact the New First Army. At that time, the New First Army will use the daytime to continue to go westward in a large range, follow the Pacific Railway, and at least 200 kilometers, destroying 7 cities and 8 different railway stations. Then they will find a safer place to obtain airdrop materials. The materials of the armored forces in the front are enough to support a low-intensity war for one day, and high-intensity wars can also support more than one day.
As the alarm sounded, all the crew boarded the plane. The special forces took a short time, only 30 minutes. With the time for supplies and aircraft preparation, it only took one hour in total. Within one hour, all the supplies and personnel boarded the plane, and the plane took off roaringly. 50 strategic transport planes flew into the air quickly. However, this time, the plane did not form an array and crossed the Rockies to the east, but this time, they did not go west, but east.
This time, it will fly to the outer sea, cross the entire West Coast of the United States at a distance of 150 kilometers to the right of the coastline, break into the hinterland of the United States 150 kilometers north of the Flat Ocean Railway, and reach the target, land in the Rocky Mountains to the first target location, and then airborne enough personnel before finding the second target.
This time, the number of explosives used was huge. Hundreds of different locations, relatively close, were marked, and the distance they were carried as much as possible. Some of the machinery would be airdropped on the railway. It could be maneuvered on the railway. It could not be an engine, but it could be solved by manpower. This is much more powerful than transporting by manpower. As long as the railway line was not destroyed, these human tools could reduce consumption. As long as these things were fixed on the railway line, they could drag forward with less force, saving a lot of strength and time.
For safety reasons, only after the main roads, bridges and valleys of at least 55 kilometers on both sides will be processed. During the operation, some elite troops will operate on the outside and destroy them. At least 12 important railway bridges on the west side of the Rocky Mountains will paralyze this railway. This task is relatively easy, but time is not easy to control. It is best if there are no military trains in the railway, but there is no way to have military trains. Therefore, during the explosion, there will be at least a few reconnaissance aircraft and a few bombers. They will look for those military trains. Compared with their colleagues who blocked the railway, they will attack those military trains. The 30-ton missile load capacity is enough to kill most of the military trains. The remaining small number will be collected by the special forces.
The plane quickly rose to the sky, then circled the coastline and headed westward. After flying over 100 kilometers, after seeing the coastline, it continued to go westward, about 15 to 20 kilometers west of the coastline, and then turned south along the coastline.
All the special forces members sat quietly in the cabin. This was an unprecedented large-scale operation, but for these special forces members, this was nothing. I don’t know how many times they did similar exercises. Although they did not really participate in the war, the previous exercises and even previous combat experience gave them great help, allowing them to deal with the current situation like walking around in the courtyard.
The transport plane flies very smoothly. The special forces fixed with seats and seat belts will have to fly for 10 hours. All special forces are taking the time to rest, while several commanders began to study tomorrow's operations. To put it bluntly, there are two key points tomorrow, namely, the entrances on both sides of the Rocky Mountains and cut off the US military's ability to supplement any of the Rocky Mountains, so that they can stroll in the Rocky Mountains and attack the Pacific Railway.
Chen Cang's plan, as a plan implemented by the special forces, not only did it prepare much more than the Sakura Plan, but it would not take action until the Sakura Plan was finally successful, and the time to destroy the levels on both sides was not fixed, so it could be carried out at the right time.
To be honest, the premise of Chen Cang's plan is very critical, which is the Sakura Plan. When more than 5,000 armored forces appear in the hinterland of the United States, no matter how many doubts the Americans have, whether they recognize them or not, there will be other plans. The United States must destroy this armored force as soon as possible. In this case, the special forces that have been broken into pieces and airborne into the Rocky Mountains will not attract the attention of the United States at all. The barriers close to the Great Plains will not be damaged after Salt Lake City is cut off. In the west, the barriers that are destroyed may attract the attention of the United States, but they will definitely be covered up under the premise that the armored legion enters the central United States.
After confirming the details of the action one by one, Zhou Juyang and his officers pondered the entire process of the plan bit by bit. After improving each step, they went to rest. The more than 10-hour flight was the last rest time for them. Once the airborne landed, they must keep a clear mind. The next 10 days are the most important time for Chen Cang's plan. There should be no mistakes. Once the mistake is made, the entire team may be doomed.
