Chapter 960: Underestimation One

readx; This is a good point, the atomic bomb explosion range in these years was at most about 10 kilometers in radius, and the complete destruction range was even smaller, but the width of any division of the modern army can reach more than 10 kilometers or even 20 or 30 kilometers. As for the navy, www.biquge.info is even bigger, taking the Chinese Navy's two-aircraft carrier battle group as an example, the sea area where the battle group unfolds is up to tens of nautical miles or even hundreds of nautical miles, and it is definitely not that the ships are close to each other next to the ships, and in actual combat, the two warships are more than 10 nautical miles apart, and the friendly warships can barely be seen in good weather, and not a single friendly warship can be seen during the entire mission in bad weather.

Therefore, when many officers and men serving on aircraft carriers carry out patrol missions, except for the escort ships of friendly forces that can be seen when they first leave the port, in fact, they rarely see escort ships during the entire cruise, because those cruisers and destroyers are more than ten or twenty nautical miles away, so it is easy for the officers and men on the ships to have a mentality of fighting alone, but in fact, those escort ships are on the periphery, and the aircraft carriers are staying at the core of the fleet under heavy encirclement.

The combat mode of the aircraft carrier battle group is very different from the combat mode of the previous battleship era!

In such a situation, even if a nuclear bomb is used to attack the fleet, although the effect is effective, it is absolutely impossible to say that a nuclear bomb will destroy the entire battle group.

"In addition, when the Chinese dropped the nuclear bomb, they used their B16 bomber to carry it, and according to the intelligence we have collected over the years, although we cannot completely determine the surname of the B16 bomber, it is also roughly estimated that the practical ceiling of the B16 bomber should be about 10,000 meters, the maximum speed will not exceed 650 kilometers, and the range will be about 5,000 kilometers." It is comparable to our B29 in terms of surname. And for the B16 bombers, our fighters can intercept them at all! ”

In World War II, although the Chinese Air Force had high-altitude F5 series fighters, the United States also had high-altitude fighters, and the P47 and P51 were quite excellent. So if China wants to use B16 bombers to bomb U.S. forces in the Pacific, it can't do it as easily as it says "Ben."

Roosevelt nodded after hearing this: "In this case, their B16 bombers will not be able to carry nuclear bombs to attack our homeland?" ”

"It's very clear that if you take off from China's mainland and overseas military bases, their B16 bombers will never be able to attack our homeland," Marshall said. However, it is still necessary to prevent their navy from carrying nuclear bombs and then crossing the Pacific Ocean to attack the western coast of our country! ”

"The navy should be able to guarantee this, relying on the Philippines and the surrounding islands of Guam, our navy has urgently deployed a large number of radars, and at the same time there are a large number of submarines and destroyers patrolling the eastern Pacific, and it is absolutely impossible for the main force of the Chinese Navy to go out of the Pacific Ocean and we can't know about it, once we find out that their fleet is out of the Central Pacific, then our naval fleet will go to track and intercept!"

With the current strength of the US Navy, it is not difficult to achieve this, after all, the size of the US Navy is actually larger than that of the Chinese Navy, and the number of warships of all kinds is very large.

After hearing this, Roosevelt said: "In this case, what are you hesitating about, let the Pacific theater be fully prepared, and at the same time inform Britain and Soviet Russia to let them also prepare, if the Chinese are still obsessed and stubbornly force the annexation of Turkey and enter the European region, even if it is to rekindle the war in Asia, we must not let Germany and China, the two most evil countries in the world, unite!" ”

Roosevelt's thoughts are similar to those of the vast majority of Americans, anyway, I can't hit your Chinese homeland, but you Chinese can't hit my American homeland, as for the war of attrition in the Pacific, who is afraid of whom!

As for the nuclear bomb, although the potential threat is huge, it is still effective before the United States comes to the mainland!

I have to say that in this year, except for Chen Jingyun, everyone else has actually seriously underestimated the power of the atomic bomb, even after China bombed this with a nuclear bomb, whether it is China or the United States, most of the air force generals think that your nuclear bomb is awesome, but the effect of my 1,000-plane bombing is not much worse than the effect of your nuclear bomb, but you can produce a few nuclear bombs a year, and you will drop so many of them in a war, but with the strength of the strategic bomber forces of China and the United States, In three days, two heads can launch a thousand bombings.

For China, the biggest role of nuclear bombs is that if a war breaks out with the United States, then the Chinese Air Force can use B19 bombers to carry nuclear bombs to cause strategic bombing effects on the United States! If there were no nuclear bombs, China would never be able to build tens of thousands of B19 bombers, and it would not be able to build so many B19 bombers even if China had all its resources.

However, China's B19 bomber is a top-secret project, not to mention the Americans, not even a few high-level generals in China know about it, and if the Americans don't know about the B19, it means that they don't know that China can attack the United States, which has caused the confidence of the Americans to be extremely inflated.

Otherwise, the United States would not have exercised restraint in the Pacific after China bombed Tokyo with a nuclear bomb.

As for Chen Jingyun's words, in fact, from the beginning to the present, he has no idea of bombing the US mainland, because the variables of that would be too great are too great, and if the Americans want to launch a nuclear bomb in a short time, it will really be a lose-lose situation!

It's okay to lose both sides of a conventional war, at most everyone is playing a naval war of attrition in the Pacific, which will not hurt the local civilians and industry, but if you play a nuclear war, it will really be the end of everyone together!

His idea so far is to use nuclear bombs to bomb Tokyo to flex its muscles to the United States and make the United States make a certain degree of concession of interests. If this can be done, then the role of the nuclear bomb will already be fully manifested.

But he did not expect that the Americans were much more stubborn than he imagined!

In fact, it is not that the Americans are stubborn, and these decisions have been made after full consideration, and they are based on the fact that the United States has assessed that the power of China's nuclear bombs is not enough to deal a fatal blow to the US military in Asia, and it is even more impossible to directly attack the US mainland!

Therefore, the Chinese's nuclear bomb is an extra-large bomb in the eyes of the current Americans, and there is nothing very special about it!

That's why Roosevelt had the courage to order the U.S. Pacific Theater to prepare for war, and to prepare to unite Britain and Soviet Russia to strongly confront China.

I have to say that the impact of Chen Huatian's trip to Turkey is huge and bad!

Originally, the Chinese side hoped to create a momentum, and with this momentum, they negotiated with Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union, and Russia, and tried to get some benefits at the negotiating table.

But no matter how you say it, Chen Jingyun at this time was like saying, "Like himself, he seriously underestimated the Americans' determination to fight!" Back then, he said, "When I launched the Pacific War, I also thought that as long as I destroyed the US Pacific Fleet in one fell swoop, then I could force the United States to negotiate peace with it, but I didn't expect that the Americans had no intention of peace talks even when there was only one aircraft carrier left in the entire Pacific Ocean, but accompanied me to fight to the end."

Now Chen Jingyun is almost the same, originally thought that with the threat of nuclear bombs and China's huge strength of the three armed forces, he should be able to force the United States to bow his head, but he didn't expect that these Americans are even more stubborn and belligerent than they imagined, and they are no longer the explosive Fujia hillbillies in people's impressions, but a typical western cowboy image!

Many people say that Americans are afraid of war, and the army is all young master soldiers who can't fight a tough battle! In fact, the United States is a very belligerent country, and who fought the most wars after World War II in history, the Americans, that is to say, fight, and there is no ambiguity at all. In the past few years of the Pacific War, although the main battlefield was in Australia, there were also many island battles, and the battle for these islands was extremely tragic. In addition, in North Africa, the British and American forces and the German-Italian forces fought in the past few years, and the British and American forces even routed to the vicinity of the Suez Canal for a time, and a US army paratroop division that came with emergency airlift reinforcements at that time resisted the offensive footsteps of more than 50,000 German-Italian forces, saved the defeat at that time, and counterattacked westward step by step.

The reason why people have the impression that the young master soldiers of the U.S. [***] team can't fight a tough battle is purely because the equipment is too good, although the infantry encounters some resistance, it is to call for rear artillery support, aircraft support, and then the tanks rush up in a swarm The enemy collapses, and what the infantry can do is to accept the occupied territory.

In fact, this situation also exists in the Chinese Army, and if you are equipped, you will not be stupid to fill it with the lives of soldiers, you don't need artillery support and aircraft support, you have to show that your infantry can fight and resist charging with rifles, that is not pure foolishness!

Chen Jingyun underestimated the belligerence of the Americans a lot, so when he learned that the Americans had not only made strong diplomatic protests, but had also made specific military movements, the American fleets in the Indian and Pacific Oceans had begun to assemble, and it looked like they were about to go to war at any time.

Looking at the report of the Military Intelligence Department, Chen Jingyun slapped the table fiercely: "This American seems to be immortal without seeing the Yellow River!" ”

That night, Chen Jingyun urgently summoned Shen Gang and other high-level military and political leaders to hold the highest strategic meeting.

"The Americans are more stubborn than we thought, and it seems that the current strategy is not working, what do you think about this?" Chen Jingyun said: "Let's talk about it! ”
