Chapter 60 The first duel
Roosevelt's face darkened. He did not expect Tang Jian's revenge to come so soon. Seeing that Tang Jian was much more prepared for battle than he did. At this time, the US North Atlantic Fleet had just arrived at Builos Aires Port in Argentina. It still took a long time to arrive in San Francisco.
Roosevelt immediately picked up the phone and directly connected to the coastal artillery position command on the San Francisco coast. Roosevelt sternly said: "Prepare anti-aircraft guns immediately and you must shoot a few planes to let the Chinese know that American airspace is not where they should come."
"Minister, the darkness on the sea is full of warships of the Chinese Pacific Fleet. I'm afraid we have no time to take care of those planes that are unpredictable in the air." The slight trembling voice of the commander of the shore artillery position came from the phone.
"Bastard" Roosevelt cursed. Before he finished speaking, there was a violent sound of shelling on the phone. The commander of the shore artillery position urgently said: "Mr. Minister, the Chinese Pacific Fleet has begun to attack."
"The minister had a sound of shelling, and the shore artillery position in San Francisco was attacked." Major General Marshall glanced out the window and reminded him
"I heard it very clearly." Roosevelt angrily, and the loud explosion on the phone shocked his eardrums to a vague pain.
"Be sure to stick to the shore defense position, give me a fierce blow, and sink several warships of the Chinese Pacific Fleet!" After Roosevelt gave the order, the roar of the engine was faintly heard in the sky. Roosevelt hung up the phone, came to the window and leaned over and looked up. He saw a large group of black dots in the sky, like a flock of birds flying towards the sky above San Francisco.
It is a Chinese Air Force aircraft
Major General Marshall said: "Mr. Minister, the Chinese Air Force is here, and their air strikes are about to begin. In order to ensure your personal safety, I hope you can enter the air raid shelter."
Roosevelt turned a deaf ear, took his coat and walked out. Marshall caught up and asked, "Sir, where are you going?"
Roosevelt kept his feet and said without looking back: "As the Secretary of Defense of the United States, do you want me to sit down and watch the people of my country beneath the enemy's artillery fire, while I hide in a solid air-raid shelter?"
"This?" Marshall was speechless. During the Spanish-American War, Roosevelt commanded the US military to defeat the Spanish army. During the battle, Roosevelt had always personally gone to the front line to command the battle, and sometimes even took the lead in charging into the battlefield.
Roosevelt's behavior has to be said to be a strange flower among the commanders of all the world's most important things. I'm afraid only the crazy "Far East arsonist" Tang Jian in China can compete with Roosevelt.
Marshall also fought under Roosevelt's command and knew Roosevelt's personality very well. Roosevelt was like a stubborn buck. His behavior of doing things in the war could not be stopped even by the president.
Marshall tactfully put away the words about to say dissuasion and asked, "Mr. Minister, where are we going?"
While Marshall said this, Roosevelt's figure disappeared into the long corridor accompanied by several guards. Only the lingering sound left by Roosevelt was heard from afar: "Go to the anti-aircraft gun position and shoot me the Chinese plane."
Major General Marshall sighed helplessly and had to chase after him quickly
The residents of the city of San Francisco held an air defense exercise a few days ago. So after hearing the familiar air defense alarm, the residents of San Francisco were running towards Li’s nearest air raid shelter with the help of thousands of policemen in San Francisco. Since Roosevelt set San Francisco as the temporary command center for the battle with China, Roosevelt mobilized the most developed anti-aircraft guns in the United States to place them on several highlands in San Francisco, and set up a lookout to specifically monitor the air raids of Chinese aircraft. Due to the short time, most of the air raids built in San Francisco were transformed from local wine cellars, which can play a certain role in the air raids of China.
On the streets of San Francisco, there are no more pedestrians, and almost all the vehicles passing by are abandoned. There is a bleak atmosphere between the streets of the city.
At this time, the roar in the air was getting closer and closer, and a large group of black shadows were reflected on the streets of San Francisco. This time, Tang Jian only sent twenty of the most important aircraft in China. On the one hand, it was to respond to the assassination that Roosevelt secretly planned, and on the other hand, it was to test the defense situation in San Francisco.
Before Tang Jian arrived in Hawaii, the CIA intelligence personnel in the United States secretly sent Tang Jian a message saying that a total of hundreds of anti-aircraft guns developed by the US side were transported to San Francisco with Roosevelt. This was obviously to deal with the Chinese Air Force.
This air strike is mainly to test the firepower of these most developed anti-aircraft guns and the deployment locations of artillery positions in San Francisco, so as to facilitate the provision of precise coordinates for the next air strike
Twenty aircraft were divided into ten small teams, and the geese-shaped formation hovered over San Francisco. When these Chinese pilots were %% of the time, Tang Jian had instructed them to keep at a safe height when entering the sky above San Francisco.
A Chinese pilot in the lead extended his right hand out of the cabin, gave a thumbs up, and raised it upwards. The entire flight formation was about to climb. At this moment, on several high grounds in San Francisco, Roosevelt immediately ordered the soldiers in the artillery position to lift the camouflage coats on the gun gun muzzles, and the dark anti-aircraft gun muzzles pointed straight to the sky.
"Fire the gun" Roosevelt ordered
Hundreds of anti-aircraft guns immediately shot at the Chinese Air Force formation above the sky. The shells fired by hundreds of anti-aircraft guns immediately formed a bright barrage in the air, bursting out gorgeous flames. Several Chinese pilots were immediately scared and sweated. Several anti-aircraft gun shells just rubbed past their fuselage.
After a moment of chaos, the Chinese Air Force's aircraft formation immediately stabilized its formation and suddenly divided into ten small groups in the air and flew towards all directions in San Francisco. The bomb drop hatch door on the belly was already opened.
A moment later, amid the anger of anti-aircraft guns on the US artillery positions, countless sharp whistles sounded. It was the sound of high-explosive bombs dropped from the plane falling from high and rubbing with the air.
"Boom..." Dozens of huge and gorgeous sparks bloomed everywhere in San Francisco, an important city on the west coast of the United States. Bunches of huge mushroom clouds soared with firelights.
For a time, countless buildings collapsed and fell, and the raging fire began to spread in this prosperous city. The heat waves caused by the violent burning swept and stretched out. Many buildings were ignited, and many residents hid in the houses that thought they were very solid, screaming and running around.
Many people really cannot understand the residents of San Francisco. Not long ago, China sent a huge fleet to visit the United States. San Francisco was also the anchorage of the Chinese Pacific Fleet. At that time, San Francisco residents warmly welcomed these guests from the East and visited their warships under the call of the government.
At that time, the relationship between the two countries seemed so harmonious on the surface. But unexpectedly, after a few years, China, which was once extremely friendly, turned into a devil with hideous minions and bombed San Francisco hard. Many San Francisco residents who had cooked food for Chinese naval soldiers fell into the fire.
Sharp whistles kept ringing, and half of San Francisco was trapped in the sea of fire. From time to time, oil depots or cars on the ground were ignited and exploded. Explosions came one after another. Roosevelt put down his telescope, clenched his fists, and said angrily: "Catch those planes for me."
The anti-aircraft artillery position where Roosevelt was located immediately turned the gun mouth and shot towards several Chinese planes that were bombing at low altitudes. With a loud bang, a Chinese plane wing was hit and the wings soon started to burn. The plane began to sway in the air, and finally tilted its head to hit the corner of a building. With a bang, the Chinese plane and the pilot turned into countless pieces in the air.
The remaining aircraft immediately raised, changed to attack formations, and began to bomb and shoot at the US anti-aircraft gun positions...
The shore artillery positions in San Francisco were already in a mess, with empty shells of shells everywhere, and many of the artillery batteries had been completely destroyed. The parts of the large-caliber shore artillery and the residual limbs of the human body were scattered everywhere, and the attack at sea still did not stop, but was more fierce and fierce every time.
Ye Zugui raised his telescope and looked at the San Francisco city in the distance. He saw that the San Francisco city was covered with thick smoke. The scattered fire dragons kept dancing over the city. Ye Zugui smiled slightly, it seemed that the air force had succeeded.
This time, the Chinese Air Force conducted air strikes on San Francisco, only twenty aircraft, but the ammunition in the fuselage of these aircraft has more than doubled. Although this shortened the range of the aircraft, fortunately, the takeoff and landing of these aircraft were above the USS China aircraft carrier in the fleet behind him. With the aircraft carrier, the attack range of the aircraft will no longer be restricted.
At this time, the squadron led by Ye Zugui fought against the US shore artillery positions for nearly an hour in the air. Since Ye Zugui's main task this time was to test the US military's defense force, the two sides were far apart, and although each had injuries, fortunately there were few casualties.
Ye Zugui discovered an important intelligence from this tentative attack. The US military's ammunition was not very sufficient. Those seemingly solid fortifications often broke in one blow. As Tang Jian said, China was fully prepared for the war this time, but the United States responded in a hasty manner. In just a few months, it was not even prepared for ammunition.
"Marson Ye, the Air Force brothers are back," the guard beside Ye Zugui reminded him.
Ye Zugui looked up, but his brows frowned slightly. Twenty planes went to bomb San Francisco. When he returned, there were only seventeen left. At least three planes were smoking. It was obvious that the damage was not light.
"Return now" Ye Zugui ordered
