Chapter 151: America will never surrender (Part 2)

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

In this final battle for the U.S. Navy, what he needs is a group of like-minded patriots, not a bunch of unwilling cowards - so, being able to put together such a lineup, with so many warriors, willing He was very satisfied with accompanying him on this desperate road.

Before the Guantánamo expeditionary fleet weighed anchor and launched its attack, Admiral Halsey, the commander of the Atlantic Fleet, organized a rally and lecture as usual.

With the military band playing hard, the large deck of the USS Valley Forge was packed with people. U.S. Navy officers and soldiers wearing various uniforms formed a neat queue. Most of them looked solemn, but there was also a hint of relief.

After the military band's performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner" stopped, the captain of the "Valley Forge" held a tweeter microphone, stood on the balcony of the bridge, and loudly announced to the officers and soldiers on the deck: "...the Navy of the United States Warriors, men of the New World: Today, I want to announce a heavy order to you. Our fleet is about to embark on an expedition to Europe and engage in a final life-or-death battle with the Soviet fleet! Salute! ”

Following the order, arms were waving all over the deck. The captain first looked around the audience with a straight face, then turned to the commander, Admiral Halsey, and bowed slightly. Admiral Halsey saluted solemnly and looked around sternly, while all the naval officers and soldiers also looked at the veteran with serious expressions.

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

After a moment of silence, Admiral Halsey finally spoke slowly, "...the mission of us soldiers and these ships in the harbor is to protect this country. If a country is defeated and destroyed, the warships will still be there. It's like it's never been used before. That's an unbearable shame! That's not what we American cowboys are! Those weak French guys 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 and find and destroy the forward base of Soviet jet ultra-long-range bombers in North Africa or Western Europe, Then it is guaranteed that within a few months at least, the eastern states of the United States of America There will no longer be atomic bombs dropped, and the terms of the armistice and peace talks proposed by the Soviets may be more tolerant. This is the only thing we can do for our motherland at the moment! Even if we cannot win the war, we must at least find a way out for our motherland! Therefore, this battle will be related to the life and death of the United States, and to the lives of all our hometown relatives. People's safety determines the future destiny of all of us! I, William Frederick Halsey, Jr., hereby implore everyone to give me your life and strength, and then work together to make it better. The national destiny and destiny of the United States of America are back! In this battle, there is no retreat, no chance of survival! ”

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 use all your courage and blood. I will fight with you." Long live the United States! Long live the Union Navy! ”

"...Long live the United States of America! Long live the Union Navy! Long live freedom!" "...General Halsey, we all listen to you!"

At this moment, the roars of thousands of people on the aircraft carrier deck merged into one, and waves of sound reached into the sky one after another, and even the sunlight seemed to be dimmed. Everyone's face seemed to be filled with determination and determination. Morale, which was once low, suddenly rose again - after this long war has come to this point, 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 on the verge of annihilation, and even It is impossible to find a decent ending. Under such desperate circumstances, the U.S. Navy who are still willing to comply with the assembly order and come to Guantánamo are brave men who are willing to sacrifice their lives for their country and beliefs. For them, carrying the reputation of defeat and incompetence and living like mice until the war is a shame even more unbearable than death. Rather than living in such humiliation, it is better to die in battle with glory!

So, with the whistle blowing on the flagship "Valley Forge" aircraft carrier, steel battleships spewed billowing black smoke and filed out of Guantánamo Bay. The coastal defense artillery on the shore also fired a salute to these people who were about to leave. The "Marine Death Squadrons" who will never return see off...

Amidst the continuous salutes, long whistles, and the playing of "The Star-Spangled Banner", warships sailed toward the sunny sea one after another.

However, just when everyone was excited and full of ambition, the sharp air raid siren was suddenly sounded again, and the scene of the majestic fleet's expedition suddenly became a mess. The pier was full of people running wildly, and the fleet that was halfway out of the port was in a dilemma.

In this regard, General Halsey, who was severely disappointed, could not help but hesitate for a moment, but considering the lessons learned from the previous false alarms of air raids and causing 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 very regrettable that at this time, no matter what General Halsey chooses to do, it is actually of no avail - although the Halsey fleet has been misunderstood by various "crying wolf" style "scare yourself" The newspaper trick was very frustrating, but this time, the wolf really came.

Moreover, it is a super giant wolf called an atomic bomb that most humans in this era cannot resist or avoid at all...

——Today's Guantanamo base has neither fighter jets or gunships that can fly to an altitude of 19,000 meters, nor super-heavy anti-aircraft guns that can hit such stratospheric heights. In addition to desperately escaping and bracing themselves for bombing, There is no way to deal with the Soviet Tu-1 carrying nuclear bombs 00 "Flying Bear" supersonic jet ultra-long-range strategic bomber... Although both the air defense positions on the ground and the American warships on the sea used all their anti-aircraft guns that can shoot upward at this moment, they fired crazily into the air. Fire was fired, but it was of no use due to insufficient range.

What is even more desperate is that in the face of a nuclear attack, when the air raid siren sounds, it is impossible to escape even if you run away quickly, and it is absolutely impossible to hold on. The only way for the people in Guantanamo Bay to survive is to The only thing he did was to find a hole in the ground and crawl into it, but to kneel down and pray to God.

All in all, ten minutes later, a dazzling white light suddenly flashed over Guantanamo. The next moment, accompanied by a huge roar, a crimson mushroom-shaped red cloud slowly rose over the military port of Guantánamo. All kinds of deadly rays, particles, nuclear dust storms and shock waves swept away in all directions. The entire Guantanamo Bay was soon shrouded in a huge storm brought by a Soviet atomic bomb with a yield of 50,000 tons! ! !

The first ones to bear the brunt are naturally the US troops stationed on the shore and the Halsey fleet which is weighing anchor and leaving port. The optical radiation and shock waves brought by the nuclear explosion swept across the entire Guantanamo base. The anti-aircraft guns exposed on the ground, the land-based aircraft parked at the airport, and most of the military camps on the island were all blown away by the nuclear explosion shock wave. Rotten trees and dead leaves were flying all over the sky, and the American soldiers exposed outdoors were directly burned into black charcoal and ashes.

In addition, as the first overseas base of the US Navy, Guantanamo naturally has a large amount of arms depots and oil depots. At this time, under the violent impact of the nuclear explosion hurricane, the ammunition previously stored in Guantanamo by the US military was also detonated one after another, especially the flammable aviation fuel, which was directly ignited with just a cluster of sparks, and a large amount of heavy oil was flowing. When they reached the sea, a terrible fire broke out in the military port, burning the survivors of the nuclear explosion. Even on the ship outside the harbor, you can still hear various strange explosions in the distant wind.

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

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

On the other side, compared to the Guantanamo base that was burned into a sea of ​​​​fire, the Halsey fleet, which was leaving the port at full speed, was in a better situation because it was far away from the center of the explosion. Most of the steel ships suffered not too serious damage from this seemingly massive nuclear attack. The warships that had left the port were only shaking violently under the pressure brought by the shock wave, and their shells and superstructures suffered some damage. The damage, and the porthole glass was blown to pieces, but strictly speaking it was not too serious. As long as it is not directly overturned by a huge wave, there is no risk of sinking. Only those ships that had not yet left the dock were more tragic. In the high temperature and heat wave of the nuclear explosion, their ammunition was directly detonated, igniting raging fires, and turned into eye-catching bonfires floating on the sea.

But the problem is that although the warship itself is made of steel and iron, with rough skin and thick flesh, the sailors on the ship are made of bones and flesh, and they really cannot withstand the terrifying power of the nuclear explosion. First, some sailors were stabbed in the eyes by the bright light. resulting in blindness, followed by burning of the skin by optical radiation and nuclear radiation, and being washed away. Injured by shock waves... However, only those sailors exposed to the outside will suffer this disaster, and most sailors usually perform duties in the cabin. The thick and hard steel armor plates are enough to block nuclear weapons several kilometers away. Explosion shock waves and nuclear radiation provide them with a sufficiently safe radiation protection shelter.

The really deadly thing is that a large amount of radioactive dust quickly fell from the sky after the nuclear explosion. Even though all the surviving ships of Halsey's fleet were operating at full capacity, turning their backs on the mushroom cloud, and frantically escaping from Guantánamo at full speed, they still could not escape the coverage and contamination of radioactive dust. The U.S. Navy officers and soldiers in the Halsey Fleet have all inhaled deadly nuclear dust. These deadly radioactive dust will soon cause radiation sickness ranging from mild to severe in their bodies. And with the current medical capabilities of the United States, this is absolutely impossible. It is a terminal disease with no cure.

——Before the realization of intelligence, no matter how advanced a warship is, it must be operated by a large number of healthy sailors in order to exert corresponding combat effectiveness... Therefore, Halsey, who suffered an air blast nuclear strike at Guantánamo base, Although more than two-thirds of the fleet still stubbornly floated on the sea and continued sailing, most of the fleet's actual combat effectiveness was equivalent to being wiped out in an instant.

To make matters worse, although all the ships that could survive and keep up with the team were basically not "damaged", they became "deaf and blind", and the various observation equipment and radar equipment on the ship were damaged. They were nearly completely destroyed in the nuclear explosion, causing each warship to actually lose its ability to conduct long-range artillery battles. The aircraft moored on the decks of 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 no other thoughts and was only determined to die. After leaving Guantanamo, he ignored the heavy losses of the fleet and the possibility that he might also suffer from radiation sickness. He just drove the remaining ships across the Atlantic regardless, thinking only about how to lead the shrinking fleet. The battered expeditionary fleet crossed the Atlantic and had another real battle with the Soviet Red Navy...

Well, it must be as fast as possible, and we cannot drag out the incubation period of radiation sickness for so many sailors in the fleet, 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 Guantanamo in Cuba, on this day there are also 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 and Acapulco in Mexico. The capital of Mexico City, as well as the capitals of small Central American countries such as Ecuador, Guatemala, and Costa Rica south of Mexico, were also unfortunately hit by the "nuclear bomb express" sent across the Atlantic by the Soviet Union's "Flying Bear."

These small Central American countries and Caribbean island countries used to watch the United States become more unlucky year by year. In the end, the land was covered with mushroom clouds. At one time, they even had the idea of ​​gloating and adding insult to injury. But they forgot that they were also coerced by the United States to declare war on the Soviet Union... Now it was finally their turn to be bombed by the Soviet nuclear bomb. The leaders of these small Latin American countries could only cry without tears, secretly regretting not raising the red flag earlier and jumping into rebellion.

However, when the Soviet pilots were flying the Tu-100 "Flying Bear" at an altitude of 19,000 meters, and happily turned around and returned home in triumph, they heard on the radio in the Atlantic Ocean with great consternation: The Yankee plane once again brought nuclear bombs to the Soviet Union! ! !
