Chapter 193 Assault on the Port
Chang'an above Hulao Pass is obviously bigger than before.
Gongsun went out to inquire about the information and came back soon. The information he brought back shocked the entire coalition headquarters.
All the troops in Hulao Pass are being adjusted. In addition, the high track between the distant arsenal and Hulao Pass has been repaired, and a large amount of arms built by Zhang Ji began to be transported here continuously.
Gongsun made a three-dimensional sand table so that everyone can see the situation more clearly.
"Hulao Pass is not only a fortress, it is also a granary, arsenal, and an airport for Dong Zhongying's army. Dong Zhongying would not give up such a fortress casually. He has already transferred large troops from all over the place to station in Hulao Pass. In addition, Chang'an, a floating city above Hulao Pass, has been undergoing upgrades and transformations."
Cao Mengde asked Gongsun: "Do you have more detailed information about the transformation of Chang'an?"
Gongsun shook his head: "No. The outer layer of Chang'an began to cover armor with invisibility attributes, and all our reconnaissance methods did not work for it."
"Where is the radar?"
I said: "The radar cannot have an effect on it. Even the latest Cliff Eye radar can only detect the periphery of Hulao Pass."
Cao Mengde seemed a little anxious: "You can only win every battle if you know yourself and your enemy. Now that the enemy has been retracted into the shell, we really can't do anything about them."
I said, "Do you want to conduct a few tentative sieges?"
Cao Mengde nodded: "I will ask Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan to lead the commando to raid from three directions. The princes of each family do not need to attack, just provide support from a distance."
The meaning of his arrangement is obvious - the three people sent out are all his direct descendants. Once there are casualties, even if the Cao family army suffers losses, the princes of each family want to preserve their strength and do not want to fight at all, but Cao Mengde has sent people out. If he doesn't even want to support the fire, it would be too unfavorable.
However, sending only three people is probably not enough.
I took the initiative to ask for the battle: "Meng De, please send me to the battle. I am also the newly appointed fleet commander, so I have to arrange some work for you."
Cao Mengde thought for a moment and said, "Then you will attack the port west of Hulaoguan. It is said that Dong Zhongying has many troops there. If he can blow up the port, you will make great contributions."
"Okay, then I'll mobilize people and prepare to attack."
After I came back, I told everyone about the situation. Chen Gong and Xu Shu looked at each other and sighed.
I asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this arrangement?"
Chen Gong said: "Xuande, this is a dangerous task. Hulao Pass port is an important hub, and Dong Zhongying must have sent heavy troops to guard it. If you go, you will be lucky if you don't die there."
Xu Shu said: "Xuande, the tasks assigned by his three subordinates by Cao were just tentative attacks. Just a feint. At worst, you can run away with a shot. But the task given to you is to 'take the port as much as possible'. If you fail to complete the task, you have to take responsibility."
I didn't wave my hand and said, "No, Cao Mengde is a man who cares a lot about me. I don't think he is so complicated."
The two of them looked at each other and said, "How do you arrange this attack?"
I said: "I plan to let the two warships Lu and Shuanggujian attack from both left and right directions. The shell of the Shuanggujian has a stealth function and can have the effect of surprise attacks. It first attacks the port's alert system and air defense system. Then Lu enters the port and clears the field. What do you think?"
Xu Shu nodded: "It sounds good, but you can do it less: Hulaoguan port is relatively large, and it seems that it is not enough to send a double-stranded sword to clear the field. I suggest that you ask Guan Yunchang to bring the newly captured scarab mecha, and airdrop it with the double-stranded sword to conduct frontal assaults, so that we will attack from the left, middle and right directions. Even if the enemy has the remaining defensive firepower, they don't know which direction to shoot in."
"Wonderful!" I turned around and said to Guan Yunchang, "Have you handed over that scarab mecha?"
Guan Yunchang replied: "I originally planned to hand it over, but after arguing with Yuan Shu last time, I felt that I still didn't need to hand it over."
"It's better if you haven't handed it over, we'll use it this time."
Zhang Yide hurriedly came up: "What about me? Arrange a task for me too?"
Xu Shu said: "Arranging you a very important job - to protect us."
"How to protect it?"
"You and Zhao Zilong each bring an aircraft. When we attack, you don't have to come and participate in the attack, but guard the port and Hulao Pass. Once the enemy comes to support us, don't fight and notify us immediately. This mission is very important and is related to whether we can retreat safely after attacking the port."
"I won't be allowed to participate in the war!" Zhang Yide seemed a little disappointed.
“This job is also very important!”
We persuaded Zhang Yide and he reluctantly agreed to go on patrol.
Afterwards, people were arranged, and some of the air-to-air weapons of the double-stranded sword were removed. This time, a large number of bombs were carried for bombing.
Everything was ready to stop, so I applied to the coalition command to attack.
This time, Xu Shu was allowed to act as the commander of the double-stranded sword, and I ran to Lu myself and activated Lu.
The two warships met in the air and then drove towards the port.
At the same time, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan began to attack the frontal face of Hulao Pass.
In order not to be seen by the enemy, our flight altitude is very low, so that our tracks can be hidden with the help of terrain.
Not long after, the port appeared in front of us. Chen Gong drove a small aircraft to investigate the port. He told us,
A special mixed fleet is anchored in the port, with a total of six floating battleships, nine floating cruisers, eleven large transport ships, and several other battleships.
"The troops are not small." Xu Shu and I discussed it. We were planning to conduct long-range strikes before, but now it seems that the number of enemies is large, and our long-range firepower is insufficient to kill them.
Mi Zhu said: "Our small aircraft can be used. Each small aircraft can carry missiles, bombs, torpedoes and flares. Our small aircraft are also coated with stealth paint, and the enemy cannot see us."
Xu Shu nodded: "Then prepare to go."
The small aircraft sent a total of twelve aircraft, six of which were loaded with missiles, four with bombs, and two with flares and jamming bombs.
The formation flew very smoothly at the beginning and did not attract the attention of the enemy, but when they flew over the port, they were discovered - after all, not completely invisible. And under the clear sky, the formation could be seen by the naked eye.
Mi Zhu flew the fastest, and his position was too advanced. He arrived at the battlefield ahead of his colleagues, which alarmed the air defense forces in the port. The gunners fired into the air from the anti-aircraft artillery positions on the shore.
Mi Zhu gritted his teeth and lowered the altitude, made a dive, threw down two missiles, and then quickly lifted the plane up.
The two missiles flew against the ground for a while, and then hit the radar station in the port.
The high explosives from the missile warhead and the remaining fuel from the missile work together, lifting the radar station up.
Other aircraft also began to fire, bombs and missiles fell to the port, and several floating warships were blown into fireballs before they even took off.
Mi Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, he avoided the ground fire and prepared to fly back to the double-stranded swords.
However, at this moment, a red flame rose from the harbor.
I saw all this through the observation equipment, and it seemed to be a red mecha.
An angry roar came from the red mecha:
"Who dares to attack the port! Try my Zhang Liao's power!"
No! I quickly picked up the communicator and shouted: "Mi Zhu, come back with your people! That Zhang Liao is not easy to deal with!"
