Chapter 151, America Will Never Surrender

Although the number of U.S. Navy ships summoned to Guantanamo following the order has so far fallen far short of Admiral Halsey’s ideal expectations, Admiral Halsey, the “brute bull,” is no longer prepared to wait any longer—he is truly willing to serve the country. Dedicated warriors have already come here.The remaining guys who are greedy for life and afraid of death... Even if they are forced to join the battle, they will probably only add to the chaos in this death expedition that is bound to be arduous.

In this battle of the U.S. Navy's curtain call, what he needs is a group of like-minded patriots, not a bunch of unwilling cowards-so, to be able to make up such a lineup, with so many warriors, willing Accompanying him on this desperate road, he is already very satisfied.

Before the expeditionary fleet at Guantanamo weighed anchor and set out, Admiral Halsey, commander of the Atlantic Fleet, organized meetings and lectures as usual.

Accompanied by the strenuous performance of the military band, the large deck of the "Valley Forge" aircraft carrier was filled with dense crowds of people.U.S. naval officers and soldiers in various uniforms lined up in a neat queue. Most of them looked dignified, but there was also a sense of relief mixed with them.

After the military band played "The Star-Spangled Banner Never Falls," the captain of the "Valley Forge" held a tweeter microphone and stood on the terrace of the bridge, loudly declaring to the officers and soldiers on the deck: "... Warriors, men of the New World: Today, I want to announce a heavy order to you. This fleet is about to set off for an expedition to Europe, and launch a final decisive battle with the Soviet fleet! The above...salute!"

With an order, all the decks were waving their arms in unison.The captain first looked around the audience with a straight face, then turned around and bowed slightly to the commander, Admiral Halsey.Admiral Halsey saluted solemnly and looked around awe-inspiringly, while all naval officers and soldiers also looked at the veteran with serious expressions.

"...Soldiers! Everyone already knows the current situation of the United States. I am afraid that we will not be able to win this war! However, this does not mean that we can forget our pride as soldiers! Defeating is certainly a shame. But surrendering without a fight is a greater shame!"

After being silent for a while, Admiral Halsey finally spoke slowly, "...The mission of our soldiers and the ships in the harbor is to protect this country. If a country is defeated and destroyed, the warships still It is an intolerable shame as if it has never been used! We American cowboys are not weak Frenchmen who like to surrender! This expedition is our only chance to fight back! If our fleet can successfully reach the other side of the Atlantic If we find and destroy the forward bases of Soviet jet ultra-long-range bombers in North Africa or Western Europe, then it can be guaranteed that at least within a few months, no atomic bombs will fall on the eastern states of the United States of America, and the truce proposed by the Soviets The terms of the peace talks may be more lenient, and this is the only thing we can do for our motherland! Even if we can no longer win the war, we must at least fight for a way out for our motherland! Therefore, this battle will be related to the life and death of the United States. The safety of your relatives in your hometown determines the future destiny of all of us! I, William Frederick Halsey Jr., hereby implore everyone, give me all your life and strength, and then together Work hard to take back the national destiny and destiny of the United States of America! In this battle, there will be no retreat, there will be death but no life!"

Under the watchful eyes of thousands of officers and soldiers on the entire deck, "Halsey the Bull" waved his arms and roared like thunder, "...warriors of the navy, please show all your courage and blood, and I will stand together with you!" Live and die. Long live the United States of America! Long live the Union Navy! Long live liberty!"

"...Long live the United States of America! Long live the Union Navy! Long live liberty!" "...General Halsey, we are all at your command!"

At this moment, the roars of thousands of people on the deck of the aircraft carrier merged into one, and waves of sound went straight up to the sky, even the sun seemed to be dimmed by it.Everyone's face seemed to be filled with determination and firmness.Morale, which was once low, suddenly rose again—this long war has gone so far, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the United States is bound to lose, and it is not just a matter of defeat, it is already about to perish, and even It is impossible to seek a decent ending.Under such desperate circumstances, the U.S. Navy who was willing to obey the assembly order and come to Guantanamo were all brave men who sacrificed their lives for the sake of the country and the faith.For them, carrying the infamy of defeat and incompetence, living like a mouse until after the war, is a more unbearable shame than death.Rather than live in such humiliation, it is better to die with honor!
So, with the whistle sounding on the flagship "Valley Forge" aircraft carrier, steel battleships spewed billowing black smoke and filed out from the harbor of Guantanamo Bay. The "Navy Death Squadrons" who will never return see off...

Amid the successive salutes, long whistles, and the performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner Never Falls", one after another the warships sailed to the sunny sea.

However, at this time when everyone was full of enthusiasm and ambition, the sharp air raid siren was sounded again suddenly, and the scene of the mighty and majestic fleet's expedition suddenly became a mess.There were crowds running wildly on the pier, and the fleet, which was half out of port, was caught in a dilemma.

In this regard, General Halsey, who was severely disappointed, hesitated for a while, but considering the lessons learned from the previous batch of false air strikes and riots, he finally decided to let the fleet continue to set off, and at the same time ordered The shipboard radar was turned on in advance to investigate the situation in the sky as soon as possible.

But it is a pity that at this time, no matter what General Halsey chooses to do, it is actually useless-although the Halsey fleet was misunderstood by various "wolf is coming"-style "scare yourself" before. The trick of reporting was tossed enough, but this time, the wolf really came.

Moreover, it is also a super giant wolf named atomic bomb, which most human beings in this day and age cannot resist and avoid at all...

——The current Guantanamo base has neither fighter jets or gunships capable of flying to an altitude of 9000 meters, nor super heavy anti-aircraft guns capable of hitting such stratospheric heights. Any method that can deal with the Soviet Tu-100 "Flying Bear" supersonic jet ultra-long-range strategic bomber that came carrying a nuclear bomb... Although whether it is the air defense positions on the ground or the American warships on the sea, at this moment, they are all used. All the anti-aircraft guns that could be fired upwards fired frantically into the air, but because the range was not enough, it was of no avail.

What is even more desperate is that, in the face of a nuclear attack, when the air raid sirens sounded, even if they ran quickly, they would not be able to escape. The thing to do, besides finding a hole in the ground, is to kneel down and pray to God.

All in all, 10 minutes later, a dazzling white light suddenly flashed over Guantanamo, and the next moment, accompanied by a huge roar, a crimson mushroom-shaped red cloud slowly rose over the military port of Guantanamo.All kinds of deadly rays, particles, nuclear dust storms and shock waves swept away in all directions, and the entire Guantanamo Bay was soon shrouded in a huge storm brought by a [-]-ton equivalent Soviet atomic bomb! ! !

The first to bear the brunt are naturally the U.S. troops stationed on the shore and the Halsey fleet that is anchoring out of the port.The light radiation and shock wave brought by the nuclear explosion swept across the entire Guantanamo base. The anti-aircraft guns exposed on the ground, the land-based aircraft parked on the airport, and most of the military camps on the island were blown as if by the nuclear explosion shock wave. Rotten wood and dead leaves were flying all over the sky, and the American soldiers exposed to the outside were directly burned to black charcoal and ashes.

In addition, as the first overseas base of the U.S. Navy, Guantanamo naturally has a large number of arsenals and oil depots.At this time, under the violent impact of the nuclear explosion hurricane, the ammunition that the US military had previously stored in Guantanamo was also detonated one after another, especially those flammable aviation fuels, which were directly ignited with only a cluster of sparks, and a large amount of heavy fuel flowed When it reached the surface of the sea, a terrible raging fire was triggered in the military port, and the survivors of the nuclear explosion were burned to death.Even if you are on a ship outside the harbor, you can still hear all kinds of strange explosions in the wind in the distance.

——Under the huge mushroom cloud, the sky seemed to be on fire, and the entire Guantanamo base turned into a sea of ​​smoke and flames.

On the other hand, compared to the Guantanamo base that was burned into a sea of ​​flames, the situation of the Halsey Fleet, which was leaving the port at full speed, was better because it was far from the center of the explosion.Most of the steel ships did not suffer too much damage from this seemingly massive nuclear attack. The warships that had already left the port were only shaken violently under the pressure brought by the shock wave, and the outer shell and superstructure suffered certain damage. The damage, and the porthole glass was blown to pieces, but strictly speaking, it is not too serious.As long as it is not directly overturned by huge waves, there is no danger of sinking.Only those ships that hadn't left the pier were more tragic. In the high temperature heat wave of the nuclear explosion, the ammunition was directly detonated, and a raging fire ignited, turning into a striking bonfire floating on the sea.

But the problem is that although the battleship itself is made of steel and iron, with rough skin and thick flesh, the sailors on the ship are made of bone and flesh, and they really cannot withstand the terrifying power of the nuclear explosion. First, some sailors were stabbed in the eyes by the strong light Blindness is caused, followed by skin burns by light radiation and nuclear radiation, and injuries by shock waves... However, only those sailors who are exposed to the outside will suffer from this catastrophe, and most sailors are usually on duty in the cabin The thick and hard steel armor plate is enough to block the shock wave and nuclear radiation of a nuclear explosion several kilometers away, providing them with a safe enough radiation protection shelter.

The really deadly thing is that after the nuclear explosion, a large amount of radioactive dust fell in the sky soon after the nuclear explosion.Although all the surviving ships of the Halsey Fleet ran away from Guantanamo at full speed with their backs facing the mushroom cloud at full speed, they still failed to escape the coverage and contamination of radioactive dust.The U.S. naval officers and soldiers of the Halsey Fleet have more or less inhaled deadly nuclear dust. These deadly radioactive dust will soon cause radiation sickness ranging from severe to severe in their bodies, and with the current medical capabilities of the United States, this is absolutely It is incurable disease.

——Before the realization of intelligentization, no matter how advanced a warship is, it must be operated by a large number of healthy sailors in order to exert its corresponding combat effectiveness... Therefore, Halsey, who suffered an air blast nuclear attack at the Guantanamo base Although more than two-thirds of the fleet still stubbornly floated on the sea and continued to sail, the actual combat power of this fleet has already been crippled by more than half in an instant.

To make matters worse, although all the ships that survived and kept up with the team were basically not "injured", they became "deaf and blind". In the nuclear explosion, it was almost completely destroyed, so that the warships actually lost the ability of long-range artillery warfare.Many aircraft tethered to the deck on several aircraft carriers were also overturned and fell into the sea, causing the fleet's combat effectiveness to further decline.

However, at this time Admiral Halsey had nothing else to do, only the will to die.After leaving Guantanamo, regardless of the heavy loss of the fleet and the possibility that he might suffer from radiation sickness, he just drove the remaining ships across the Atlantic regardless, only thinking about how to lead this shrinking fleet. The battered and battered expeditionary fleet crossed the Atlantic Ocean, and had another real battle with the Soviet Red Navy...

Well, the sooner the better, the radiation sickness incubation period of so many sailors in the fleet cannot be delayed, otherwise everything will be completely over.

——To be honest, this is no longer a fight to win, but a fight to meet an epic and magnificent death! ! !

The great United States of America will never surrender!

In addition to the U.S. Naval Base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, on this day, there are San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico, Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti, Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, and the ports of Veracruz, Acapulco and Mexico. The capital of Mexico City, as well as the capitals of small Central American countries such as Ecuador, Guatemala, and Costa Rica to the south of Mexico, were also unfortunately hit by the "nuclear bomb express" sent across the Atlantic by the Soviet "Flying Bear".

These small countries in Central America and the island countries in the Caribbean had previously seen the boss of the United States getting more and more unlucky year after year. In the end, the land was covered with mushroom clouds.But I forgot that I was also coerced by the United States to declare war on the Soviet Union... Now it is finally my turn to be bombed by the Soviet Union, and the leaders of these small Latin American countries can only cry without tears, secretly regretting that they did not raise the red flag earlier.

However, when the Soviet pilots drove the Tu-9000 "Flying Bear" at an altitude of 100 meters, happily turned around and returned home in triumph, they were shocked to hear from the radio in the Atlantic that the United States The guy's plane came to the Soviet Union with a nuclear bomb again! ! !
