Iron Winged Eagle Yang Chapter 22 Surprise Attack
The withered tulips of the second season 22 chapters of the surprise attack
"Hot! It's hot! ”
Count Luknall unbuttoned his military uniform when no one was around. This is the northern part of the Indian Ocean, where sea surface temperatures have reached 30 degrees Celsius.
Compared to the cooler Atlantic Ocean, it's a frustratingly hot place. Despite the heat, Count Luknall often stayed on the bridge, as was his custom.
As an old sailor, if you don't blow the sea breeze, how can your heart be as vast as the sea? The pipe burns with top-quality tobacco, but in his hand he takes a sip of the best Tieguanyin that calms people's hearts.
In such hot weather, he still has to use boiling water to make tea.
At this time, the "Yue Fei" aircraft carrier battle group appeared in the north of the Indian Ocean, and as soon as it entered this sea area, the Hawkeye airship immediately appeared in the sky according to the order.
In addition to being smaller, the "Hawkeye III" airships used by the Navy are generally equipped with "Apple" reconnaissance/attack rotorcraft that have been officially finalized and produced. Enhanced fleet reconnaissance/attack capabilities.
As the farthest way in this battle, Count Luknall made a big circle around Oceania. The ships encountered along the way are naturally the old way. All were captured by him in order to cut off the possibility of information transmission.
His fleet along the way can be said to be the wonder of this large-scale operation.
The fleet not only included 12 amphibious assault ships of other detachments, but all the battleships were packed with an armored division, a heavy division, and a light infantry division.
As the commander of the ground fleet, Li Erzhuzi also lived on the Yue Fei. This has always lived on a warship, but it suffocates him.
"My God, this weather is going to roast people! Mr. Earl, I'm afraid we're going to get to the place, and if we stay on the ship any longer, my soldiers will be dumbfounded! ”
As soon as Li Erpole stepped out of the air-conditioned cockpit onto the bridge, the scorching sun in the Indian Ocean almost baked him out of oil.
"Hehe, young man, you're not as good as me. It's just a little sun, and it's nothing. And we're going to have a cold Somali snap right away, and then the weather will be cool. ”
In the past few years of his career in the Navy of the Chinese Federation, Luknar has long been trained to speak proficient Chinese. The longer he lived in the Chinese Federation, the more he liked the country.
Sometimes, he doesn't understand. Why is it that a country that can create such a wonderful life and such a rich history has been bullied so often in modern times. From Tang Yunyang's actions, as well as the actions of his hands, he drew a conclusion.
The conclusion is simple, that is, the Chinese in modern times are too kind and too confused. In particular, those emperors and ministers did their best to fool the people, and as a result, they created a century-old humiliation in modern China.
Li Erpole shrugged, his gaze looking at the deck.
On the hot deck, there are groups of army soldiers, seamen, and pilots forming a happy and lively group. When there is no fighting, these energetic guys are also happy to fight or play ball.
"These bastards, what a toss! I said Lee, do you want me to go down and teach these bastards a lesson! ”
As soon as the hatch slammed, another army officer appeared on the bridge. He also had a pipe in his mouth, but he was wearing a U.S. military uniform.
"Don't be nervous, Mr. Patton, I think the officers of our Navy will entertain their Army brethren well!"
Of course, naval officers are still more kind. Even if there was a fight, they would rush into the sea in small boats and bring in a large number of seafood to entertain the army buddies.
With the meat on the palladium and the German dark beer frozen in the cold storage, the soldiers who had been sailing at sea for a long time were about to relax when they were about to find out.
People who fought and played ball, one by one, lined up with plates.
Barton looked at these and shrugged speechlessly. For some reason, he always thinks of these guys on deck as his own soldiers. In his mind, this is about the aftermath of his leadership of the "Thunder International" in Nancy, France.
"Mr. Commander, please, I see it's time for lunch. Today, in addition to lunch, I am afraid that we will have to discuss the details of the operation. Therefore, I declined the invitation of the captains of the captured ships, and the visit of the ladies. And, I've heard the chef say that there was good tuna today! ”
As a "landlord", Luknar was generous. Whether it's his treasured red wine and white wine. are willing to take it out to entertain Barton or Li Erpole.
It's just that due to the difference in the classes, they have a lot less common language with each other. For this reason, Lucknar usually had lunch with the captains he had captured and the ladies who were captivated by his demeanor.
"It's a great lunch, but if I can, allow me to come back in a few minutes!"
The two pipe-smoking men shrugged their shoulders indifferently, chatted with each other, and stepped into the cabin. After they left, Li Erzi continued to think about coming to the bridge.
He was missing his eldest brother, Tang Yunyang.
His thoughts were not because of Tang Yunyang's departure, which caused him any damage. He just thought of Tang Yunyang's conversation with Nancy the night before he left for Lafitte's team. Green "only talks" what he was told before.
“…… No matter what happens in the future, brother, I only ask you of one thing, these two guns in your hands are worthy of your ancestors and ancestors. If you want to say that this person is easy for himself all his life, but it is not so easy for his family and country......"
Thinking of Tang Yunyang's words today, he was no longer the reckless Li Erpole, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Approximately, and until today, when he can lead tens of thousands of invasions, with the support of the fleet and the aircraft group, to open up the reins and expand the territory for the Chinese Federation, will he understand Tang Yunyang's hopes for him at that time.
But when it was night, the man who taught him, scolded him, and kicked him like a big brother had completely lost his voice. Perhaps, he will never be seen again.
Li Erpole let out a long sigh of relief and threw these memories of the past aside. He had to prepare for tomorrow's battle, and his gaze seemed to have the center of vision as his thoughts interrupted.
That's when he found out. His men were sipping the smoke of the grilled fish on the stove with the naval officers and sailors. When they saw him, their soldiers raised their plates or cups to him, as if they were an invitation.
Li Erpole waved his hand, turned around and returned to the cabin. The moment he turned around, he said a word in his heart that was enough to comfort Tang Yunyang, who was far away in the North Pole.
"Big brother, don't worry! With such an iron army created by you, our dignified Chinese Federation will inevitably stand on the top of all nations! As for my Li Erpole, the two box cannons in my hands will always be loyal to the Chinese Federation! ”
As the hatch isolated the hot wind in the Indian Ocean behind him, Li Erzhu's brain, which was blowing the cold wind in the air conditioner, immediately became clear, and it was time to look at him next!
When Li Erpole appeared in Lucknar's restaurant, there was already a room of people sitting here. In addition to the Navy and Patton, there were also some officers who had gone through the ignition test and came to the Rapid Reaction Force.
The leader of these people is Zhang Xiaohuai, who is now Li Er's deputy. Although his background is much more "noble" than Li Erzhuzi, Li Erzhuzi is the commander of the First Armored Division single-handedly by Tang Yunyang, and this is a position that no one can replace.
The commander of the hoplite division, Cai Yi, was already in the United States at this time and had not returned, so many Chinese officers who had participated in the battle of Russia were added to the "rapid reaction force".
An Jinchi replaced Cai Ye with a good record in the Russian War, and naturally there were other familiar officers such as Zhang Zizhong who were also in this ranks.
It's just that today is a dinner party for military commanders, and they, the regimental officers, are not qualified to participate.
"Everyone, raise your glass. On behalf of the First Fleet and all the officers and men of the Navy, I wish you all the best in tomorrow's landing operation! For the Federation! ”
The army and navy officers raised their crystal wine glasses filled with top red wine, and then these army officers of the Chinese Federation, who were not accustomed to Western food, enjoyed a tuna meal prepared by his chef with Luknar.
"Tomorrow, as soon as our tank division and heavy division go ashore separately, we will immediately attack, not giving the enemy a chance to breathe. Division Commander An, you are an anvil and I am a hammer, as long as our speed is fast enough, they can only escape in two other directions, Ethiopia has promised that all French troops who cross their borders will be handed over to us to deal with. Then the French army had nowhere else to go except to the sea!
Here, we should make a toast to our Ethiopian brothers, who are even willing to arrange for all the people there to enter their country as citizens, so it will be the official territory of the Chinese Federation! ”
Li Er's words were not to mention how easy it was, as if the place they were going to attack was not the base that the French had painstakingly managed here. Patton deeply agreed with Li Er's statement, with the combat strength of the Bundeswehr, there was actually a tank division, an armored division, and a light division here. It is definitely an act of killing chickens with a knife.
Not to mention that there is also an aircraft carrier battle group led by the "Sea Ghost" with more than 500 combat aircraft. Not to mention such a small area, even if it is attacked by Somalia over there, such a strong force is completely sufficient.
Patton was not worried about the war in front of him, his only concern was that the European countries could not afford such an irritation, and then the Second World War might break out.
As for the Federation of China and the other countries in the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" under his leadership, if they do not become the new masters of the world in this war, then they will be smashed in this war!
That's exactly what worries Barton the most. Chapter 22: Surprise Attack
