Chapter 497: The US Military’s Conspiracy
497
The salty sea breeze blew sand against the iron wall of the Chinese coastline outpost, and the night watchman suddenly woke from his half-sleep. He rubbed his eyes and leaned over the bulky AN/FRR-10 radio direction finder. The needle on the dial was swinging wildly.
"Report! An abnormal radio frequency band was discovered 30 nautical miles away in the southeastern waters!" The soldier was holding an old-fashioned hand-cranked telephone, and the sound of the crank turning was particularly harsh in the silent night.
In Commander Han's office, a large tube radio hummed, and a teletypewriter beside it spit out densely packed intelligence slips. The commander's fingers slammed heavily on the yellowed military map, his nails almost scratching the paper:
"The high-frequency radio of the submarine project is still in operation! The news of Base No. 5 has already leaked out!" Commander Han slammed his hand heavily on the table in front of him. These American soldiers are so insidious.
The staff gathered around a Mark II slide rule, pencils darting across graph paper. "Commander, the US Seventh Fleet's Iwo Jima-class amphibious assault ship has crossed the 17th parallel north. The CH-46 helicopters aboard are ready to launch a surprise attack at any moment!"
Before he could finish his words, a communications soldier burst through the door, holding a damaged R-390A receiver. "The US military is jamming the same frequency. All the frequency bands are covered in snow!"
Commander Han tore down the battle map from the wall, spread it across the long table, and circled the area surrounding Base No. 5 with a red pencil. "Immediately activate the Level 3 defense plan! Order the 127th Regiment stationed in Bianyue to build fortifications outside the base, and the air defense company to deploy the ZPU-4 anti-aircraft guns to the northwest heights!"
He turned and stared at the communications staff officer: "Send a communicator on a motorcycle to the US military base No. 3. The message must be delivered to Chang Yin!" At this time, the gains and losses of other bases are not important. The US military's attack this time must be very fierce.
At Base No. 5, Chang Yin, Tang Yue, and Tang Shengkai had just waded ashore through waist-deep water. In the distance, several old searchlight towers were still turning stubbornly, their beams sweeping across the A-4 Skyhawk attack aircraft flying low.
Tang Shengkai tore off his seawater-filled shoes and watched the planes fly overhead, his eyes grim. "American support is coming quickly."
Chang Yin replied as he ran to the headquarters, "Base No. 5 was built with great effort by the US military. The submarine project, in particular, should be the top priority of the US military. The fact that the advance was destroyed by us shows how furious the US military is."
As they passed the perimeter, soldiers from the 127th Chinese Regiment were racing against time to build defensive fortifications. They were digging foxholes with shovels and piling sandbags into bunkers. The company commander, holding a loudspeaker, shouted, "Hurry up! Dig the anti-tank trench another half meter deeper!"
A shrill air raid sirens ripped through the night, and Base 5 was instantly engulfed in flames. American AA-4 Skyhawk attack aircraft circled like black ghosts, dropping a succession of MMk82 high-explosive aerial bombs that exploded with a bang. The blast from the ground toppled reinforced concrete fortifications, sending shrapnel raining down everywhere.
Towards the beach, LLCVP landing craft cut through the surging waves, and American soldiers wearing helmets and holding MM16 rifles came out one after another. The flames from the MM60 general-purpose machine gun suppressed the Chinese soldiers so that they could not raise their heads.
In the sky, the propellers of a group of CCH-46 helicopters stirred the airflow, and the elite troops on board were preparing to carry out a vertical assault.
Chang Yin, Tang Yue and Tang Shengkai struggled through the hail of bullets and finally arrived at the command center.
Pushing open the door, Commander Han's eyes were bloodshot, veins bulging on his forehead as he roared furiously at the battle map. The tube radio on the wall emitted a piercing buzzing sound, and all communication equipment was paralyzed, demonstrating the intensity of the US military's interference.
"How come you're back so soon?" Commander Han turned around abruptly, his eyes filled with disbelief. Based on the speed at which he had sent the messenger, Chang Yin and the others definitely couldn't have gotten back so quickly.
However, the situation is urgent now, not the time to ask those questions, "Look at this situation! The US army, land, sea and air are pressing in from all sides, surrounding us tightly!
We can't break through the US military's signal jamming. We are now an isolated island with no help!"
Commander Han watched everything unfold with a serene expression. They had only just taken over Base 5, less than a day earlier. Even with the signal blocked, they had still sent someone out to deliver the message. However, they didn't even know if the person delivering the message was safe.
Chang Yin stared at the densely packed US military deployment marks on the map with a serious expression: "Commander, they are determined to win this time. Not only do they want to recapture Base No. 5, they also want to completely block the news. In their eyes, all of us are already dead."
Tang Yue narrowed her eyes. The US was truly ruthless. Did they already have this kind of contingency plan in mind when they were building Base 5? Otherwise, why would they react so quickly? Apparently, this submarine project had such a significant purpose.
Tang Shengkai clenched his hands and said resolutely, "At worst, I'll fight them to the death!"
Commander Han glanced at Tang Shengkai, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down. "No, we can't make unnecessary sacrifices. The equipment and information in Base No. 5 are vital to our country!
Even if it takes all my last breath, I have to get these things back!" He glanced at the three of them in turn, "You immediately organize your manpower, dismantle and pack up the key equipment, and prepare to break out! I'll stay behind to command the defense and delay as much as possible!"
"Commander, please go first! It's too dangerous here!" Chang Yin advised anxiously.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Commander Han interrupted sharply, "Follow orders!"
Chang Yin and the other two exchanged glances and saluted in unison: "Yes! We guarantee to complete the mission!"
Outside the headquarters, the explosions became more frequent. Chang Yin stared at Tang Yue and said, "Tang Yue, all the machinery and equipment in Base No. 5 are now in your hands."
The situation was urgent, so Tang Yue said nothing, only nodded and quickly left. She was already very familiar with this place, and she knew which places were the most important. But before she had gone far, a roar from the sky flew towards her head with an oppressive feeling.
Tang Yue narrowed her eyes. She had suffered this before in Japan. Now they were going to drop bombs on her? The corners of her lips curled slightly. As the planes flew low over her leader, she moved her mind, and the four planes vanished from the sky. Then, without warning, the eight pilots plummeted from the sky.
They were not given time to react, and they didn't even have time to open their parachutes. They fell directly from a high altitude and hit the ground, turning into a puddle of mud.
Tang Yue didn't even spare them a glance and immediately rushed to the control center. When Chang Yin captured Hansen, he had carefully protected these items so that they could be brought back to China. They had all been thinking about getting rid of these items, so they hadn't put them away at the time. Now they had to take this step again.
Tang Yue was extremely fast, and as she moved, everything in the building quickly disappeared. The already dilapidated base had become even more unbearable after the recent bombing.
Chang Yin took Tang Shengkai to the tank battalion. The tanks there were all captured by Tang Yue from the US Army. There were still more than a dozen tanks in the original No. 5 base, which was barely enough to stop the US Army's attack outside No. 5 base.
After collecting her things, Tang Yue went straight to the beach. A large number of American troops had already landed on the beach. The defense here was originally the weakest. At this time, the two sides were fighting, and China was clearly at a disadvantage.
Tang Yue flashed a few times and appeared on the US landing craft. She couldn't care less about using her spiritual power now. Her own people were about to be wiped out, so what was the point of talking about morality? Naturally, she had to speed up the solution.
Tang Yue waved her hand, and all the landing craft on the sea disappeared. Several warships in the distance were crowded with people. Tang Yue walked on the sea. When she was not too far away, the US army had not noticed her yet, and all the warships disappeared on the sea level.
What followed was the sound of "splash, splash" falling into the water.
Tang Yue pulled out her pistol and fired a few shots at the crowd. Watching the bright red blood spread across the sea, she left with a slight smile on her lips. After walking a distance, Tang Yue launched a warship. Since they couldn't contact their people at the base, the ones on this warship should be able to.
