Chapter 454 The aircraft carrier sank
If everything goes well, all strategic areas can be captured in one hour and twenty-two minutes for the second round of deployment.
Maybe tomorrow morning Somalia will return to Somaliland, and then conjure up a series of military bases to further control this sea area, thereby strengthening control over the Suez Canal, and of course controlling trade in the Middle East.
By that time, they can completely give up the canal
Perhaps this is also the condition for Roxon to lure these oil guys, first threatening them, and then telling them that when the next unlucky guy shows up, you will be free.
Of course, the combat power mobilized in Operation Iron Curtain was only a small part of the Berry Army, but it was definitely a crushing force that these black devils in Africa could not resist.
In fact, the most time-consuming thing in capturing Possaso and Galloway was not even the fighting time, but the travel time of the transport vehicles transporting the steel soldiers. The whole journey took almost 40 minutes.
AK47 and C4 explosives are only useful in terrorist attacks. They are useless in a real war. Be it local terrorists or other resistance forces, nothing will be left after one round of bombs.
Sending fighter planes is just to show strength and destroy some difficult military positions of a certain party.
The power is crushing, but there is no doubt that the action is illegal, at least in a gray area.
Roxon was so rich that they paid for all the expenses incurred by this operation, including fuel costs, weapons costs, and even soldiers' wages.
As long as everything goes according to the script, even if this operation is fundamentally illegal, as long as they win and the righteous soldiers of the Berry Kingdom kill the barbaric terrorists and return world trade to normal, who will care about the few who died. nigger?
In just one hour, the fighter planes took advantage of the opportunity to destroy a large number of known military organization positions north of Galkayo, and at the same time prepared to carry out bombing in the area south of Galkayo.
But at this point in time, the satellite saw an appalling scene:
The USS Truman aircraft carrier, which exists on the sea and serves as the headquarters of this battle, has undergone a strange deformation like an old man with a broken bone——
The angle is not big, but deadly!
The special plasma layer attached to the warhead of the Sidewinder electromagnetic gun is very helpful in penetrating steel. The speed of 2,500 meters per second is not too fast, but with the assistance of the plasma layer of tens of thousands of degrees Celsius, it can easily penetrate steel.
The high temperature and kinetic energy penetrated all the way through the entire hull, even directly into the power room!
The damage control officer got up from the floor, looked up and saw the punctured outer wall of the reactor:
At the hole that was penetrated, metal flowed like lava. Burnt metal and broken parts fell to the floor. Steam and black smoke mixed together. The sound of alarms brought him back from his dizziness.
But not long after he recovered, a sense of horror suddenly filled his body: he seemed to hear the sound of high-pressure steam.
The cooling system was blown!
This black smoke is not caused by enemy weapons at all, but the reactor is overheating!
The pungent smell poured into his nose, and the soldier stared at the hole. Suddenly, a small gap appeared in the black smoke, and he could see the core area of the reactor deep in the hole, and the metal was all glowing red.
"The cooling chamber exploded!!!"
boom!
The entire passage suddenly deformed, and a large number of metal blocks fell down, blocking his way out.
The soldier bumped his head against the iron block and looked at his surroundings in despair:
In an enclosed area where the temperature is constantly rising, he will become a roaster here.
At this time, he suddenly thought of what he had said to his companions before the operation started: there was no need for them to go to the battlefield anyway.
Whoosh——
High-temperature steam spurted out and hit his face, making his screams extremely miserable.
Under the continuous bombardment of electromagnetic guns and drone bombs, the island of the aircraft carrier was finally overwhelmed and significantly deformed, fading towards the deck.
However, due to the overheating of the reactor, a large number of deflagrations and explosions occurred on the deck. In addition, several electromagnetic gun rounds caused obvious structural damage, and it became uneven under the squeeze of the waves!
The soldiers fled in all directions, the plane on the deck slid down, and the behemoth was collapsing!
The series of explosions and thick black smoke made everyone realize the fact:
The Truman was sinking.
The first aircraft carrier to be sunk since World War II.
"We are done!!!"
Abdi almost jumped up from the floor and hit his head on the top of the room with a crisp sound.
Good thing he was wearing a helmet.
"Boss! Boss!"
Abdi's excited heart was suppressed by his subordinates: Their strategic goal is to attack the aircraft carrier, but this is not just an aircraft carrier!
The ship still maintains a high speed of more than fifty knots with the support of the water jet device. However, when firing continuously at high speed, the ship needs to withstand multiple forces at the same time. Looking down, some screws have broken off the base of the turret.
The electronic monitoring system also showed that the condition of the hull under the turret base was not healthy.
He could definitely see other frigates chasing them, not to mention there were submarines underwater eyeing them.
Abdi picked up the rocket launcher at hand and walked towards the door: "How many drone bombs are there?"
"15 shots!"
boom!
Abdi was just about to speak when a huge water column suddenly erupted from behind his companion's ship!
The debris caused by the explosion looked like it almost capsized the ship, and a large number of steel fragments even flew into the sky.
Obviously, although the torpedo did not hit the ship, the explosion still affected friendly forces!
".Aim at the sea surface and leave it all to the submarines. They can't catch up with us and leave at full speed."
He walked out of the room and looked towards the sea——
Behind it was a burning aircraft carrier that was sinking. On its side, shells from other ships in the aircraft carrier formation kept falling, and water columns rose high.
If it had been him a few months ago, he would have been so frightened by this scene that he would have peed his pants.
But as soon as he saw the sinking aircraft carrier, he felt that he had nothing to be afraid of.
boom!
The shell hit the side of the ship, sending sparks flying.
Fortunately, this shot did not hit the ship head-on, but was deflected away, making a huge dent in the hull armor, and the internal structure could barely be seen.
The exoskeleton stabilized the crew as the ship rocked violently.
Abdi grabbed the railing, took a step forward, and hit the hollow drum in the aisle hard. It almost blended with the sound of the shells hitting the sea, like some kind of battlefield music!
They've accomplished their mission, all that's left is a triumph!
"Ku soo dhowow dabaysha, ku soo dhowow hirarka——"
Abdi roared at the top of his lungs, the barcarolle was shouted like a war cry, and the rocket launcher in his hand was fired, straight towards the behemoth behind him!
Can they go back alive? he does not know.
But now, you have to walk away like a pirate!
[Abdi: The aircraft carrier sank! We succeeded! repeat! Operation Sword was successful! The aircraft carrier was sunk! 】
