Chapter 1521 Overcoming the Pacific Defense Line (Part 2)
1521. Overcoming the Pacific Defense Line (Middle)
With this Spruance-class destroyer being hit by a missile as a prelude, the Guardian Empire's general attack on the Pacific line of defense officially begins!
Before the aftermath of the explosion was over, the second wave of missiles from the Dragonrider 4 aircraft arrived! The U.S. naval guards were fully fired, and the Phalanx close-in defense system was desperately firing. Six 20mm caliber rotary cannons sprayed two or three meters long flames, pouring shells at a speed of 100 rounds per second!
If there is any shortcoming of the Dragonrider 4 aircraft, it is that this aircraft has insufficient ammunition capacity. The Spitfire II air-to-surface missile used on it is actually the same size as the American AMG-111 Hellfire missile. Similar small missiles, about two meters in length. If this kind of missile is used to attack warships, its power is slightly insufficient. Under the crazy near-fire capability of the United States, it has been intercepted a lot, but hundreds of missiles still fell.
boom! boom! boom! ! ! A series of explosions exploded in the US fleet! The power of the explosion shook the warships, and the decks of several warships were on fire. Soldiers from the damage control department quickly started to put out the fire.
Before the flames were fully controlled, there was a buzzing engine sound, hundreds of Dragonrider 4 aircraft swooped down, and a large number of ion cannon shells fell like raindrops, there was no way to avoid it! After Tang Yu started researching erium ore, he upgraded all his ion cannons. After using erium ore as the reactor energy source, the ion cannons were more powerful, had a longer range, and turned into lavender in color!
boom! ! An ion cannon slammed into the bow of a Perry-class frigate, causing a violent explosion. The MK-75 76mm caliber naval gun equipped in front of the warship was suddenly blown out a huge gap, and the super high temperature instantly melted the turret into a mass of scrap iron that could not see its true colors! Immediately afterwards, the high temperature detonated the ammunition depot, and the second explosion occurred immediately!
boom! boom! ! The bow of this Perry-class frigate was blown out a huge gap, the sea water swarmed in, and the tail of the warship immediately began to warp gradually.
On a nearby Tarawa-class amphibious assault ship, hundreds of U.S. soldiers were manipulating MK-38 25mm caliber anti-aircraft guns temporarily installed on the flight deck to fire desperately, but the anti-aircraft shells hit these Dragonrider 4 aircraft, Immediately blocked by a faint light curtain, they didn't even touch their skin!
Boom! boom! boom! ! The warship was immediately attacked by more than a dozen aircraft, and the deck was engulfed in flames. Under the extremely high temperature, those unprotected U.S. marines were burned to coke before they could even scream! Even the bridge was hit by countless ion cannons, and after a violent explosion, it became a piece of ruins. Now this Tarawa-class amphibious assault ship has completely turned into a ghost ship. The explosion and high temperature killed all the officers and soldiers on board, and all the equipment was damaged. It is already a piece of scrap iron floating on the sea!
Just the first attack,
The intensive ion cannon attacks of these hundreds of Dragoon IV fighters destroyed more than twenty US Navy warships. Because these warships were all attacked on the upper deck, except for the previous Perry-class frigate, four or five ships were hit because of the fuel depot or ammunition depot, which caused the explosion and sank, and the others were destroyed. All the warships are floating in the sea like torches. This situation is more horrifying than directly sinking a warship, because the charred corpses and distorted structures on those warships linger in the hearts of every US Navy officer and soldier like a nightmare.
The battleship New Jersey was also attacked intensively. Dozens of Dragoon 4 aircraft surrounded this huge battleship, and ion cannons bombarded it non-stop. But fortunately, compared with other modern warships, this battleship built during World War II put more emphasis on armor protection, so under the bombing of Dragonrider 4 aircraft, even though it ignited a raging fire, it actually persisted!
This wave of attacks lasted for more than an hour, and more than a dozen Dragonrider 4 aircraft were shot down by the intensive firepower of the US fleet. Although the energy shield is powerful, it has its limit after all.
In the command center on the artificial floating island, the U.S. Navy commander put down the binoculars and said loudly: "They are retreating!! Immediately repair all damaged warships, and let the barges drag the destroyed ships to the front to sink them with torpedoes! Then quickly salvage the downed aircraft, we need to study them! Before the next attack comes, we should have half a day!"
"Sir, I think the Guardian Empire's offensive this time is extraordinary..." the adjutant said worriedly beside him.
The commander nodded, and said in a deep voice: "They are completely crazy. Before, there were rarely more than a hundred aircraft, but according to our statistics, a total of 347 aircraft were invested in it just now!! Not only that, the action mode of these aircraft It was even crazier, so more than a dozen were shot down."
"So, this time they may be determined to win!" The adjutant said. In their conversation, they always referred to these aircraft as 'they'. In fact, the Dragon Knight 4 aircraft is actually a robot, which has been confirmed by the United States. up.
"No! It's impossible for them to capture the Pacific defense line!" The commander said proudly, "Although the aircraft of the Guardian Empire are quite powerful, even making our planes and missiles useless, they don't have a navy!! Only rely on those confiscated It is impossible for civilian ships to cross our defense line! Whether it is naval guns or torpedoes, even without missiles, we have ten thousand ways to send them to the bottom of the sea to feed fish!!"
"But even so, in the face of the attacks of these aircraft, we are completely paying for our lives!" the adjutant said.
"Behind us is our motherland! Even if we pay ten times, a hundred times our lives, we must defend this place! Moreover, the sealed battleships USS North Carolina, USS Massachusetts, USS Texas and USS Alabama are also in urgent need. The transformation can be strengthened in two months at most. At that time, I would like to see why the Guardian Empire will fight us in a war of attrition with an Antarctica and those robots!" The commander said loudly.
"Sir..." A communications soldier next to him suddenly whispered as if he had seen a ghost.
"What's wrong?" the commander turned his head and asked.
The communications soldier pointed out the window with trembling fingers, and said incoherently: "Again...here again..."
The commander rushed over, only to see hundreds of black spots reappearing in the sky ahead! It's another Dragonrider Type 4 flying machine! ! He quickly raised the binoculars, only to see that it was indeed the case, all the Dragonrider 4 aircraft came, and they were brand new! ! !
Not only that, this time in the middle of these aircraft, there is a very huge saucer-shaped aircraft inside! ! This huge aircraft is more than fifty meters wide, even bigger than some destroyers! ! But you know, compared with destroyers, this aircraft can fucking fly in the sky! !
"No... Impossible!! Antarctica can't support such a large army!! Didn't Mrs. Utani promise? There will be no more than 300 Dragonrider IV aircraft at full capacity!!" The commander murmured, booming With a sound, the telescope in his hand fell to the ground feebly.
