Chapter 1006 Capture of Gibraltar
boom.
There was a loud noise, so deafening that even people in Ceuta could faintly hear it.
Xu Jin bombed the Allied arsenal, which contained a large amount of gunpowder.
When it hit the incendiary bomb, the gunpowder was detonated, and a huge shock wave even caused Xu Jin's plane to shake.
Thick smoke billowed into the air, rising to an altitude of tens of meters.
The residential areas in the distance saw all this.
"Oh God, those are Dahua troops, the enemy."
"The Chinese are throwing bombs at us."
"It's over, Dahua has sent the devil, we will lose."
.......
People in residential areas watched helplessly as they were being bombed, but there was nothing they could do about it.
Don't say they have nothing to do, even the soldiers in the military camp are like this.
They have nothing else to do except put out fires and reduce losses.
At this time, the plane, which had dropped all five bombs, pulled the trigger on the soldiers who were trying to put out the fire and who were still exposed.
These Dahua aircraft are equipped with a machine gun, which is mainly used for ground attack.
The machine on the plane has a large caliber and uses 12.7 mm bullets, which is incredibly lethal.
As long as the bodies of the soldiers who were shot were not found intact, they were basically all killed with one shot, regardless of body parts.
For a moment, the soldiers quickly looked for a place to hide.
Some soldiers felt safe hiding behind formwork or inside houses.
But soon these high-caliber bullets shattered their illusions.
Those wooden boards had no blocking effect in front of the bullets.
At this time, whether you can survive or not depends purely on luck.
Fortunately for them, the Chinese army did not kill them all. This time they were mainly here to practice bombing.
"hateful."
"****."
Watching the Chinese aircraft leaving leisurely, the surviving Allied troops cursed in various ways.
They had no other choice but to curse and vent some of their frustrations.
After the scolding, everyone felt like eggplants beaten by frost, and their morale dropped to the bottom.
Compared to a decisive battle with more tragic casualties, this kind of powerless battle hurts morale more.
Although the decisive battle suffered heavy casualties, at least there was hope of victory. Even if there is no hope of winning, they can at least fight back with the weapons in their hands, which more or less gives them a feeling of being in control of their own destiny.
And this kind of unilateral beating, although not particularly many people died, it lost this feeling.
They can't find a way to counterattack, which means that the Chinese army can come whenever they want. Leave whenever you want.
They have no choice but to wait for death and pray.
This feeling was undoubtedly very bad, and some soldiers began to take advantage of the chaos to leave quietly. They did not want to be like a target and be at the mercy of others.
After the bombing, the entire Gibraltar military base was close to being scrapped.
The warehouses storing supplies were bombed, and there were more than a dozen fires burning in the base.
The method of fighting fires by relying on buckets and buckets does not have much effect on these fires.
After throwing all the bombs, they went to residential areas and markets, made a showy circle and then returned.
Looking at those planes, these European people couldn't help but tremble in their legs.
This was not over yet. After the Chinese aircraft returned, the battleships had arrived outside the port of Gibraltar and shelled the warships parked inside and the military facilities on the shore.
The main attack is on the enemy's coastal defense guns. By destroying these coastal defense guns, the Chinese army can land in Gibraltar and control this place.
By controlling this place and clearing out the other two military ports in the Mediterranean, Dahua will be able to completely control the Mediterranean, and they will not have to worry about being attacked.
After that, they can look for the EU fleet to fight in a decisive battle, or attack London and Paris to force the Allied navy to fight them in a decisive battle.
If the EU will surrender, then sit down and talk. Anyway, it will not be easy for Dahua to swallow up Europe now.
If the EU continues to resist, then the army in Pakistan will be brought over to fight on the European mainland.
This is the general strategic thinking of the Chinese army. As for the specific combat plan, it has been deduced a lot. However, these plans need to be modified according to the situation.
Gibraltar had just been attacked by air, and then it was bombarded by large-caliber artillery. It can be said that there are waves of waves.
"This place cannot be defended."
Several soldiers hiding in a pothole were communicating. Dahua's bombing opened their eyes and refreshed their outlook.
"Yeah, don't say that their army hasn't rushed over yet. Even if they bomb us like this twice a day, we can't stand it."
Before they could finish speaking, a cannonball landed not far from them.
The huge vibration caused the soil in the pothole to fall down, making them feel uncomfortable all over.
"This place can no longer be defended. Most of our supplies have been burned, our morale has dropped to the bottom, and we have to withstand constant bombings."
An officer said at the headquarters in Gibraltar.
It's not just the soldiers whose morale is low now, it's also senior officers like them.
The officers also had no confidence in holding Gibraltar.
Now they just want to stay away from the sea.
Stationed at the beach, there is no sense of security at all.
"But if we lose this place, the Chinese will completely control the Mediterranean."
The commander-in-chief said.
"It's as if we haven't lost the Mediterranean if we stay here. Which fleet dares to fight the navy of Great Britain now? The British have already moved their fleets to Scotland to avoid the war, wanting to preserve their strength."
another officer complained.
Knowing that Dahua's navy was coming, the navies of various countries in the European Union were hiding, not daring to face a head-on confrontation, and trying to use land and land forces to defeat the Chinese army.
Compared with the expensive navy, the EU's army is also a stepmother.
"Okay, give the order to retreat."
The commander-in-chief was convinced. As his subordinates said, even if they controlled the port, they could not control the Mediterranean.
On the sea, Dahua's advantage is really too great.
When the Chinese army stopped shelling and the Marines began to land, they found that the Allied forces had left.
This makes the combat experience of Marines extremely poor.
"I told you to let those bastards fire less shots to save some ammunition. This is great, it scared the enemy away immediately, and we also fired a hammer."
A Marine said dissatisfied.
"We should really mention it to the people above that the transportation and supply of artillery shells is so difficult, it is better to leave it to us."
A junior officer agreed.
