Chapter 708: Naval Battle

Chapter 1095: Naval Battle

The seaports of Soma were burned red by the flames of war, flares everywhere, explosions everywhere, and from time to time warplanes fell down and smashed the water, but more often they crashed into the warship, making an earth-shattering explosion, and then fell silent with the warship.

The assault boat ambushed on the coast received the order to attack, and it was Zhou Qi who was in charge of the mission, Zhou Qi looked at the enemy warship that was only ten nautical miles away, and shouted excitedly to the people around him: "Brothers, see you, our air force is playing with the enemy, the enemy can't take care of us now, it is the best time for us to sneak attack, our task is very simple, rush up, use your assault boat to hit the enemy's warship, kill!" ”

"Kill!" Everyone was infected by this big battle, and when they saw the Air Force's desperate way of playing, they screamed excitedly one by one, and boarded their respective assault boats one after another.

Zhou Qi looked at the assault boat fighters who had only been trained for more than a month, and sighed secretly, I don't know how many of them will be able to come back after this battle, if I can give myself more time, I will definitely be able to train an elite soldier, it's a pity, what a good soldier.

In the blink of an eye, all the assault boats scattered in all directions, all rushed to the sea, constantly jumping with the help of the waves, the speed was amazing, the soldiers grabbed the steering wheel with one hand, while not hurriedly putting on diving equipment, their eyes were firm and fanatical, everyone knew very well the importance of this battle, no one spared their lives, and it was the dream of every soldier to be able to fight for the country and the nation.

Zhou Qi also drove the assault boat to rush up, originally Zhou Qi didn't have to come over, but for the victory of this sneak attack, in order to ensure the success, Zhou Qi did not hesitate to pass Larry, the soldiers saw Zhou Qi coming, and they were even more excited and screamed, the soul of the soldiers, the soldiers are the gall of the generals, the generals are dead, how can the soldiers be afraid of death?

"Spread out." Zhou Qi shouted loudly, for fear that most of them would be killed by the warship artillery before he could rush to the front.

With Zhou Qi, there was also a flag soldier, who tied himself to the assault boat, freed his hands, holding various colored flags in his hands, and when he heard Zhou Qi's shout, he immediately raised the red flag and waved a movement, which was the scattered flag.

When the soldiers of the assault boat saw this flag, they immediately dispersed even more, and in the blink of an eye, the assault boat rushed to a place only five nautical miles away from the warship, and Zhou Qi saw that all the warship artillery was in air defense, and there was no defense against the attack on the sea, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and shouted loudly: "Attack the formation, kill!" ”

The flag men immediately expressed Zhou Qi's order in the language of the flag, and all the assault boats began to move closer together, forming a triangular cone and rushing forward.

The coalition forces on the front warship quickly discovered this anomaly, and everyone was surprised, and prepared to return fire while reporting upwards, but the speed of the assault boat was too fast, and the cannon did not have time to adjust the angle, so the coalition forces had to manipulate the anti-aircraft machine gun to shoot at the assault boat.

When the sound of return fire sounded, the assault boat had already rushed to a place of about two nautical miles, and the coalition forces then flare suddenly found that all the people on the assault boat had jumped into the sea, and they couldn't help but be shocked.

"Quick, shoot me. Shoot into the sea. Command shouted.

The anti-aircraft machine guns began to roar towards the sea, and the bullets rained down, and at this time, the assault boats that rushed to the front had already rushed over, and everyone looked at the empty assault boats, no one took it seriously, and the commander said proudly: "These cowardly pirates, they all slipped away before they arrived, damn bastards." ”

Compared with warships, assault boats are simply the difference between rats and elephants, no one cares about those assault boats, everyone thinks that the soldiers driving the assault boats are timid, scared, and slip away in advance, and everyone laughs.

"Boom!" An earth-shattering explosion sounded, especially clear in the night when the explosion was already full of explosions, it was an assault boat full of high explosives that crashed under a warship, and the warship was directly overturned, like a tall elephant, which could not be pushed down from the front, but it was completely possible to overturn from underfoot.

"Boom!" Countless assault boats and warships came into close contact, three or four hundred warships stopped together, there was no way to avoid the attack of the assault boats, and more importantly, everyone was frightened by the air force's deadly fighting style, plus there were warships blocking in front, not to mention that they didn't care about the assault boats rushing over, and they were careless in Jingzhou.

"What's going on over there?" Arthur, who had already come to his senses and was hiding behind the aircraft carrier to watch the battle, noticed the anomaly, pointed to the front and asked, his face getting worse and worse.

The chief of the General Staff immediately went over to make contact, and after a while, he came panting and said with a shocked face: "It's not good, is our warship bombed?" ”

"Joke, the enemy didn't open fire, at most he was hit by a plane, what bombed?" Arthur shouted dissatisfied.

"It's an assault boat." The Chief of the General Staff said in a panic, his face full of incredulity.

"Assault boats? You must be frightened by the enemy, right? Arthur was even more dissatisfied, glaring at the panicked chief of staff and saying.

The Chief of the General Staff took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and explained: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I beg your pardon for my gaffes, there is information from the front that the enemy has dispatched nearly a thousand assault boats, and the assault boats have obviously been modified and equipped with high explosives. ”

"Huh?" Arthur was so angry that he didn't come back in one breath, he felt that his eyes were dark, and he fainted again.

There was already a military doctor on standby next to him, and he immediately rushed over, pinched the middle of the person, and did artificial respiration for a while, and finally woke Arthur up again, and the faces of the surrounding generals became worse and worse, more and more gloomy, and things have developed to this point, and the coalition forces are obviously ineffective in attacking and are at a disadvantage, who will bear this responsibility? Everyone began to make their own calculations, and some even went to report to China in secret.

Arthur, who was rescued again, couldn't wait to strangle the military doctor to death, how good it would be for him to really faint to death, how to clean up the rest of the mess? After taking a few deep breaths, Arthur no longer had the confidence and pride he used to have, and he became a little flustered, and his opponent's ability exceeded his estimates.

"What happened to our warships? Aren't their people afraid of death? Arthur asked reluctantly.

"No, the person driving the assault boat jumped into the sea to escape before he arrived, he should have come prepared and prepared escape tools." said the Chief of the General Staff.

"Huh?" Arthur stood firm, refused the support of the person next to him, things have developed to this point, it is impossible to evade, you can only fight hard, it depends on who persists to the end, and asked: "Are the paratroopers dispatched?" ”

"Report, it's been dispatched." said the Chief of the General Staff.

"That's good." Arthur breathed a sigh of relief, if the paratroopers had succeeded, he had not yet lost. Hearing the constant sound of explosions in front, he immediately said: "Order the warship to retreat, order the air force to attack." ”

At this time, all the second-hand fighters of Soma have fallen down, and there are not many hundred fighters left in the coalition army, and they are fleeing for their lives.

On the sea, the warship began to retreat in an orderly manner, and the warship in front of it frantically shot at the assault boat, trying to detonate the explosives on the assault boat, but unfortunately the assault boat was equipped with a steel plate, which was not easy to shoot through, and this steel plate was not fixed to death, once the assault boat hit the warship, the huge impulse would completely shake the steel plate away, and it would not affect the destructive power of the high explosives under the steel plate at all.

1,000 assault boats attacked three or four hundred warships, the warships were discharged in a group combat formation, not far from each other, and there was basically no possibility of evasion, after the front was blown up and sunk, it was the turn of the warships behind to be unlucky, and when the warships withdrew from the battlefield, there were only a few dozen left, and Arthur who saw it wanted to cry without tears, and almost fainted again.

This is definitely the biggest defeat of Arthur since joining the army, looking at the heavy losses of the battle, suddenly a sense of powerlessness, unconsciously looked up at the night sky, secretly looking forward to it, hoping that the paratroopers can make achievements, otherwise his life will be completely over, thinking of the consequences, Arthur is in pain, and tries his best to listen to the report of the chief of the general staff.

"Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, in the air battle with the Soma Kingdom, only thirteen of the hundred warplanes returned, and the rest were all gone, and only thirty of the three hundred and eighty warships remained, and the rest were all sunk." The chief of the general staff reported the statistics of the battle situation with a pale face, and his heart was like ashes, this loss did not include the officers and men on the warship, and the battle was fought like this, and the loss of so many things without even landing on land made it impossible for everyone to explain to all sides.

"What about the losses of Somalia?" Arthur slowly regained his composure and asked seriously.

"A hundred warplanes that died with the warships, another thirty-five fighters lost in the coalition air force battle, and a thousand unmanned assault boats." said the Chief of the General Staff.

"Hey, I heard that the other party lost a lot?" Arthur asked rhetorically.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, strictly speaking, it's a tie." said the Chief of the General Staff.

"Tie?" Arthur pondered, if Arthur knew that the collision with the warship was some second-hand fighters, very cheap second-hand goods, I don't know how he would feel?

"Okay, I estimate that the Soma Air Force has lost all of it, so immediately let our Air Force attack and take the Soma Navy's naval defense area in one fell swoop, clearing the way for our troops to land." Arthur suddenly became high-spirited, as long as Soma has no air force, the coalition will still have a chance, and he will still have a chance.

"The Air Force has been dispatched and will arrive soon." The Chief of the General Staff hastened to reply.

"All troops are ready for landing." Arthur said resolutely, his eyes were dancing with a murderous light, whether he could turn defeat into victory depended on whether he could persist until the end.

With 100,000 regular troops, aircraft and artillery, two aircraft carriers, countless armored tanks, and countless ammunition and supplies, Arthur believed that he could hold on, and did not believe that the small Soma country had the ability and logistical strength of the coalition army.

I have to say that Arthur saw this very accurately, there are only 1,000 assault boats that can be used, and they are all used up at one time, and all the second-hand fighters are also used up, leaving less than 100 fighters and 100 helicopter gunships, and the rest is 500 tanks captured from country A.

As for the rocket vehicles and shore artillery that have been exposed on the naval side, in Arthur's opinion, it is nothing more than a joke, Soma has no air force, and the coalition bombers have been able to get it done in the past few rounds, so there is nothing to worry about.

"Look, two hundred fighters are coming." The chief of the general staff said excitedly: "Our paratroopers should also land at this time, there are not many Soma air forces, we can give it a go." ”

Thinking of the benefits of the sudden attack by the paratroopers, Arthur was in high spirits, and the generals of other countries also cheered up, geared up, and prepared to do a big job.
