Chapter 723 Controlling the Five Dalian Lakes
After the plague entered Gotham Harbor, it did not receive the attention it deserved. With the movement of a large number of foreign personnel, especially seamen and logistics soldiers, the plague began to spread rapidly. Fortunately, there are too many submarines in the Storm Ocean, and the shipping of the Chinese Empire has already been
Not very prosperous, and with the loss of the Chicago Industrial Zone and the pressing of the Chinese Empire, the Boston Empire has produced more and more materials to protect the local area. Even those who have been rushing over the storm ocean
The airships basically cut off contact, which prevented the plague from spreading to the Western Continent.
The epidemic began to get worse, and even dozens of people died in Boston every day. At this time, Washington III and Prime Minister Ball finally discovered something wrong. They quickly issued an order across the country, requiring all regions to start quarantine and prevent them strictly.
We will not miss a suspected case to prevent the plague from continuing to expand. At the same time, the rat-killing campaign has been launched across the country, hoping to cut off the spread of the plague from the source.
With the rapid spread of the plague, Boston began to gradually become chaotic. Many people began to hide everywhere in despair, but there were outbreaks of plague everywhere, so where could they escape. Now they could only run around in despair.
Escape into the mountains or into the desert until one day they fell to the ground with black and purple all over their bodies.
The country of Boston gradually began to be in chaos, and even the garrisons in the Wudalian Lake area were affected. The garrisons in many places were fluctuating, their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and even deserters appeared. It was only with the strong suppression of Marshal Pershing, so there was no
There was a phenomenon of disobeying commands, but his fighting will has been severely shaken.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the twelve White Mountain-class inland gunboats that had just been delivered to the troops set sail immediately and headed towards Traverse City, the Boston Army's shipyard. Although the Boston Army did not have the abnormal radar system and high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft like the Chinese Army,
But they can send a large number of reconnaissance ships to use them to conduct early warnings.
After seeing the Chinese Army's gunboat formation, they quickly passed the information back to the headquarters. Although they found that the Chinese Army formations of these reconnaissance boats quickly sank them, the news has been transmitted by a replacement product such as Langyan, which was a radio failure.
After returning, the Boston fleet stationed at the base was ready.
When he received the news of the opponent's attack, Marshal Pershing was overjoyed. He immediately ordered the entire fleet to attack and strive to encircle and annihilate the small number of Chinese warships. Twenty-six Lake Mead-class gunboats were ordered to set sail and head in combat formations
The Chinese fleet went up to meet.
Seeing that the sneak attack failed, the Chinese fleet also formed a battle formation and went up. Fifteen kilometers away, the naval guns on the two turrets on the Chinese military gunboat began to show their power. Because the caliber reached 122 mm
In addition, the propulsion medicine of the Chinese army's artillery shells is quite advanced, with a range of 20% higher than that of the Axis powers. They can launch an attack first.
The shells fell around the Bostonian gunboat, causing churning waves. Seeing this, the Bostonian immediately rushed up with all his might. The range of artillery between the two sides was not much different, and soon the Bostonian's 100
The five-mm cannon also began to bombard.
The Bostonian inland gunboats are relatively narrow and long. It has only one main gun on the bow, while the Chinese army's gunboats are slightly short and thick. The bow is loaded with two turrets, both of which are Grizzly Type 4 combat vehicles.
The turrets are equipped with 122 mm main guns, which are more powerful than the opponent.
Both sides attacked head-on, and they could only use the bow main gun to bombard it. Although the number of gunboats in the Chinese army was small, the number of artillery was large. Therefore, the artillery battle effect of both sides was half a pound, and no one took advantage of it.
.At this moment, two large aircraft groups appeared in the sky. After the water battle began, both sides sent their own hybrid aircraft groups.
The Golden Eagle 5 fighter rushed forward quickly and overtook its own aircraft group. They used airborne radar to lock the opponent's fighter jets and immediately began to launch air-to-air missiles. The Boston Air Force pilots saw the air-to-air missiles attacking head-on, and many people
They all accelerated to rush out of the formation. The space in the formation was narrow and they quickly avoided the missile's attack with large overload maneuvers. However, these Boston pilots did not expect that because the missile speed exceeded that of the F104 fighter jets, they were still unsurprisingly.
The difference was that they rushed forward too quickly, and the fastest death was also the fastest.
Faced with a large number of missiles, the Boston Air Force had to break it into pieces and launch an attack from all directions to distract the Chinese Air Force. The B25 tactical bombers rushed to the Chinese army's lake at low altitude.
fleet.
When they saw the opponent's bomber approaching their own warships, the pilots flying the old Golden Eagle 4B fighter quit. They were a little helpless in dealing with the F104 fighter, but it was still very simple to deal with the huge and slow-moving propeller bombers.
Seeing that the Golden Eagle 5 fighter and the F104 fighter were fighting fiercely, they immediately turned around and rushed towards the B25 bombers who were ready to drop bombs down. The bombers powered by two propeller engines were the opponents of the jet fighter, and
The Chinese Air Force fighter jets that launched the raid at extremely high speed rushed towards their targets.
Large caliber cannons fired continuously, and the B25 bombers quickly ignored the bomb drops. They made snake-shaped maneuvers against the water, hoping to avoid the attacks of opponents' fighters. A few fighters mixed in the bomber troops were driving at full speed.
, facing the Golden Eagle 4B fighter rushing over, while the Chinese military pilots ignored the enemy's F104 fighter jets. They approached the Boston bombers and used their huge fuselage to resist the attacks of their opponents.
Seeing those Chinese military pilots using their superb flight skills and using the B25 bombers to cover them, they started a mobile war and quickly achieved good results. More than a dozen Boston bombers were shot down on the lake. Seeing that they were protecting themselves
The target was shot down, and the Boston fighters became anxious. They immediately accelerated and approached the bomber, and played dangerous moves like a veneer dance with the fighters of the Chinese Air Force.
The two sides fought fiercely in the air, and one plane after another fell on the lake, causing huge waves to stir more lively than the artillery battle between the two sides. The Chinese army's aircraft were advanced and there were many. They made the Boston Air Force retreat and lost
After more than one hundred fighter jets and more than thirty bombers, they had no choice but to retreat.
The Boston Air Force was forced to retreat, which caused the Boston fleet that was fighting hard on the lake. They also wanted to retreat with the random group, but the White Mountain-class gunboats were bitten and refused to relax at all, making these Boston gunboats unable to retreat at all.
Seeing that his gunboat was holding the other side, a large group of albatross dive bombers rushed straight towards the Boston gunboat, and shrill screams filled the sky. Diving bombers charged at the poor Boston gunboat at a high angle of more than 70 degrees.
, after only half an hour, the Boston Wudalian Lake fleet was completely reimbursed.
After destroying the Boston fleet, the remaining eight White Mountain-class gunboats of the Chinese army rushed towards Traverse City at full speed. Hearing the air force's return, Pershing knew that something was wrong. Not only would the fleet be wiped out, but it would be even
The shipyard near the lake is also unsafe. Although we know that the other party has arrived, the shipyard is anxious to evacuate at all, especially more than a dozen gunboats that are still under construction cannot move.
The Bostonians had not yet come up with a good way to transfer the shipyard. The Chinese army's Wudalian Lake fleet had arrived nearby. The dense 122-mm artillery began to bombard, while a large number of albatross dive bombers were responsible for auxiliary attack missions.
It rushed to various key areas of the small town and carried out crazy bombings. Some bombers took care of several suburban airports, causing considerable losses to the Axis air force.
Although after hearing the alarm, all the planes took off to fight and avoided the air strikes on the airport, the ground crew and equipment did not have time to transfer and were all destroyed by bombers. The epidemic of plague greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of the Boston army.
Marshal Pershing had no choice. After controlling the entire lake, the Chinese army began to attack everywhere by relying on Baishan-class gunboats and lake transport ships to flexibly attack the Boston garrison along the lake.
The Boston garrison soon became unbearable, and in the end they had to abandon the soldiers infected with the plague and the incurable wounded soldiers to retreat. Doing so was also a decision that was forced to helplessly, in the Boston Empire, which was short of medical treatment and medicine.
, it is difficult to survive if infected with the plague or seriously injured, so it is better to leave them to the Chinese army. With the constraints of international conventions, I believe that the other party will treat them. Even if they are destined to enter the prisoner camp, it will be reserved for the Boston Empire.
Some middle-aged laborers.
What Marshal Persing never expected was that before Fang Ruijun attacked the New World, he issued a secret order to Su Zhizhen, asking him to consume the vitality of the Boston Empire as much as possible in the battle and reduce its population. Su Zhizhen admired Fang Ruijun's long-term vision very much.
, In order to reduce strong enemies for the country and nation, Su Zhizhen is also very willing to implement this order.
Because of this order, Su Zhizhen issued an order to kill all the people after Boston civilians also began to resist. It was also because of this order that when Gao Jun was about to launch an attack with biological weapons, Su Zhizhen helped him cover it up.
Su Zhizhen really wants to eliminate more Bostonians, but it is related to the reputation of the country. Such things cannot be done too obviously, otherwise it will be easily cursed. This is the case for these Boston wounded and sick people. If he accepts these people,
