Roosevelt's face darkened. He did not expect that Tang Jian's revenge would come so soon. He saw that Tang Jian was much more prepared for battle than he was. At this time, the U.S. North Atlantic Fleet had just sailed to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Los Aires Port, it still takes a long time to reach San Francisco.
Roosevelt immediately picked up the phone and directly connected to the headquarters of the shore artillery position on the coast of San Francisco. Roosevelt sternly said: "Set up the anti-aircraft guns immediately, and be sure to shoot down a few planes to let the Chinese know that U.S. airspace is not where they should come. "
"Minister, the black sea on the sea is full of warships of the Chinese Pacific Fleet. I'm afraid we have no time to take care of those elusive aircraft in the sky." The slightly trembling voice of the commander of the shore artillery position came from the phone.
"Asshole" Roosevelt cursed. Before he finished speaking, there was a violent shelling sound on the phone. The commander of the shore artillery position said urgently: "Mr. Minister, the Chinese Pacific Fleet has begun to attack."
"Minister, there are shelling sounds, and the shore artillery position in San Francisco is under attack." Major General Marshall glanced out the window and reminded.
"I heard it very clearly," Roosevelt shouted angrily. The huge explosion on the phone made his eardrums hurt.
"Be sure to hold on to the coastal defense position, give me a fierce bombardment, 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 and came. He leaned over the window and looked up, only to see a large group of black dots in the sky like a flock of birds flying rapidly towards San Francisco.
It is a Chinese Air Force aircraft
Major General Marshall said: "Mr. Minister, the Chinese Air Force is here, and their air raids 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 and took his coat and walked out. Marshall caught up and asked, "Mr. Secretary, where are you going?"
Roosevelt kept walking and said without looking back: "As the Secretary of Defense of the United States, am I expected to sit back and watch the people of my country under enemy fire while I hide in a strong air-raid shelter?"
"This?" Marshall was speechless for a moment. During the Spanish-American War, Roosevelt commanded the U.S. Army to defeat the Spanish Army. During the battle, Roosevelt always went to the front line to direct operations in person, and sometimes even took the lead in charging into battle.
Roosevelt¡¯s behavior must be said to be a strange thing among military commanders in the world. I am afraid that only Tang Jian, the crazy ¡°Far East arsonist¡± from China, can compete with Roosevelt.
Marshall had also fought under Roosevelt and knew Roosevelt's personality very well. Roosevelt was like a stubborn stag. Even the president could not stop him from going his own way during the war.
Marshall wisely put away the words of dissuasion he was about to say and asked: "Mr. Minister, where are we going?"
At the same time that Marshall said this, Roosevelt, accompanied by several guards, had disappeared into the long corridor. In the distance, only the lingering voice left by Roosevelt could be heard: "Go to the anti-aircraft gun position and shoot the Chinese aircraft for me." Come down"
Major General Marshall sighed helplessly and had no choice but to catch up quickly.
Residents of the city of San Francisco had held an air raid drill a few days ago, so after hearing the familiar air raid siren, the residents of San Francisco, with the help of thousands of San Francisco police officers, were heading towards the nearest air raid shelter. Run away. Since Roosevelt set San Francisco as the temporary headquarters for the war with China, Roosevelt mobilized the most developed anti-aircraft guns in the United States and placed them on several highlands in San Francisco. He also set up observation towers to monitor air strikes from Chinese aircraft. Because the time was too short, most of the air-raid shelters built in San Francisco were remodeled from local wine cellars, which could play a certain role in China's air raids.
On the streets of San Francisco, there are not many pedestrians anymore, and almost all the vehicles passing by have been abandoned on the streets. There is a desolate atmosphere among 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 and on various buildings. In this air raid on San Francisco, Tang Jian only dispatched twenty of China's best planes. In response to Roosevelt's secretly planned assassination operation, on the one hand, it was to test the defense situation of San Francisco.
Before Tang Jian arrived in Hawaii, CIA intelligence officers in the United States secretly sent Tang Jian a message saying that a total of hundreds of anti-aircraft guns developed by the United States had been transported to San Francisco along with Roosevelt. This was obviously for the purpose of specializing To deal with the Chinese Air Force
This air strike was mainly to test the firepower of these anti-aircraft guns developed by the United States and the deployment location of the artillery positions in San Francisco, so as to provide accurate coordinates for the next air strike.
Twenty planes were divided into ten small groups, circling in a wild goose formation over San Francisco. When these Chinese pilots were %%, Tang Jian had told them to stay safe when entering the sky above San Francisco. high
The leading Chinese pilot stretched his right hand out of the cabin, gave a thumbs up, and raised it upwards. The entire flight formation was just about to climb. At this moment, on several highlands in San Francisco, Roosevelt immediately ordered the artillery positions to The soldiers lifted off the camouflage jacket on the muzzle of the anti-aircraft gun, and the dark muzzle of the anti-aircraft gun pointed straight into the sky.
"Fire" Roosevelt ordered
Hundreds of anti-aircraft cannons immediately fired at the Chinese Air Force formation in the sky. The shells fired by the hundreds of anti-aircraft cannons immediately formed a bright barrage in the air, bursting out with brilliant flames. Several Chinese pilots suddenly broke into cold sweats and fired several rounds. The anti-aircraft gun shells just missed their fuselage.
After a moment of chaos, the Chinese Air Force's aircraft formation immediately stabilized its formation and suddenly divided into ten squadrons in the air, flying towards various directions in San Francisco. The bomb hatch door on the belly of the aircraft was already open.
A moment later, amidst the fury of the anti-aircraft guns on the US artillery position, countless sharp whistles sounded. It was the sound caused by the friction between high-explosive bombs dropped from airplanes and the air as they dropped from high altitudes.
"Boom" Dozens of huge and brilliant sparks bloomed everywhere in San Francisco, an important city on the west coast of the United States, and bursts of huge mushroom clouds took off with the light of fire.
For a time, countless buildings collapsed and collapsed, and raging fires began to spread in this prosperous city. The heat wave caused by the violent burning swept across the city. Many buildings were ignited, and many people hid in houses that they thought were very strong. residents were screaming and running
Many residents of San Francisco really can't understand that 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 the time, the residents of San Francisco, under the call of the government, We warmly entertained these guests from the East and also visited their warships.
At that time, the relationship between the two countries seemed so harmonious on the surface, but I didn't expect that a few years later, China, which was once very friendly, turned into a devil with ferocious claws and violently bombed San Francisco. San Francisco residents whose food had been cooked by Chinese navy soldiers fell into the flames.
Sharp whistles kept sounding, and half of San Francisco was in flames. From time to time, oil depots or cars on the ground were ignited and exploded. Explosions were heard one after another. Roosevelt put down his telescope, clenched his fists, and said angrily: "Give it to me. Shoot down those planes.¡±
The anti-aircraft artillery position where Roosevelt was located immediately turned its muzzle and fired at several Chinese aircraft that were bombing at low altitudes with a "sudden" sound. There was a loud "bang" and the wing of a Chinese aircraft was hit. , the wings soon burned, and the plane began to swing unsteadily in the air. Finally, it tilted its head and hit the corner of a building. It exploded with a bang. The Chinese plane and the pilot turned into countless fragments in mid-air.
The remaining aircraft immediately raised their altitude, changed into attack formations, and began bombing and shooting at the US anti-aircraft gun positions
The shore artillery positions in San Francisco were in a mess at this time. There were empty shell casings everywhere. Many forts had been completely destroyed. Parts of large-caliber shore artillery and human body parts were scattered everywhere. However, the attacks from the sea continued. It didn't stop, but became more violent every time.
Ye Zugui raised his telescope and looked at the city of San Francisco in the distance. He saw that the city of San Francisco had been shrouded in thick smoke, and scattered fire dragons were constantly dancing over the city. Ye Zugui smiled slightly. It seemed that the Air Force had succeeded.
This time, the Chinese Air Force carried out an air attack on San Francisco. There were not many planes, only twenty. However, the ammunition in the fuselages of these planes more than doubled. Although this shortened the flight range of the planes, fortunately, the takeoff and landing of these planes They are all on top of the China aircraft carrier in his rear fleet. With the aircraft carrier, the attack range of the aircraft will no longer be restricted.
At this time, the squadron led by Ye Zugui and the U.S. shore artillery position fought fiercely in the air for nearly an hour. Since Ye Zugui's main task this time was to test the defense strength of the U.S. military, the two sides were far apart. Although Everyone suffered damage, but fortunately there were not many casualties.
Ye Zugui discovered an important piece of information from this exploratory attack. The US military's ammunition was not very sufficient. Those fortifications that looked stronger were often destroyed with one blow. As Tang Jian said, China was fully prepared for this war. , but the United States responded hastily to the war. In just a few months, it did not even prepare ammunition.
"Marshal Ye, the Air Force brothers are back," the guard next to Ye Zugui reminded.
Ye Zugui looked up, but his brows furrowed slightlyTwenty planes went to bomb San Francisco, but only seventeen were left when they returned. At least three planes had smoke on their fuselages, and they were obviously seriously damaged.
