Chapter 494 Operation code name, Unification of Mountains and Rivers!
Three days later.
The morning mist has not yet dissipated in the military port on the southeast coast.
There were fifteen brand new roll-on/roll-off ships moored at the dock, as well as dozens of requisitioned civilian and warships.
On the deck, tanks and armored vehicles were lined up in neat rows, and the dew on their gun barrels gleamed in the morning light.
Tens of thousands of fully armed soldiers lined up on the beach, the dew on their uniforms had not yet dried.
The moist sea breeze blew, and the battle flags fluttered.
Jiang Chaoyang stood on the makeshift podium, his eyes sweeping over the densely packed soldiers below.
These young faces are filled with determination and expectation.
“Comrades!”
His voice was deep and powerful.
"I, Jiang Chaoyang, am a rough man and I don't know how to say nice things."
"Today I have only one thing to say: The time has come for the organization and the people to test us!"
There was silence in the audience, with only the sound of waves hitting the rocks.
"This time, we must take Frog Island and unify our motherland!"
Jiang Chaoyang's voice echoed in the sea breeze.
"For decades, our country has been divided and our compatriots have been separated!"
“Today, it’s finally time to rewrite history!”
He suddenly changed the subject and his tone became relaxed.
"However, comrades, please remember a few rules."
"First, you are not allowed to pick the pineapples of the fellow villagers. The pineapples over there are famous for their sweetness, but they are the result of the hard work of the fellow villagers, so you can't touch them!"
There was a good-natured laugh from the audience.
"Second, don't laugh at your fellow villagers for speaking in a slangy way! They just speak in that slangy way! Don't think it's disgusting and refuse to help them!"
The laughter grew louder.
These soldiers who were about to go into battle gradually relaxed in this relaxed atmosphere.
“But comrades!”
Jiang Chaoyang's voice suddenly became serious.
“Although we are compatriots, there are still some diehards over there.”
"They even resorted to using pollution equipment stolen from the US to pollute their own land!"
"Our action this time is to get ahead of them and protect our homeland!"
The soldiers' expressions also became solemn.
Everyone knows the danger of this journey.
“Comrades!”
Jiang Chaoyang's voice suddenly rose.
"Let's repeat, what is the code name for this operation?"
"The mountains and rivers are unified!"
Tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, their voices echoing across the sea.
"Good!" Jiang Chaoyang raised his right fist. "Let's use our actions to tell those who are trying to split our motherland a lesson."
"The unification of the Dragon Kingdom is unstoppable!"
"All troops, listen to my command!"
"set off!"
"Yes!"
The uniform shouts resounded through the sky.
The tide beat against the rocks and seagulls circled over the warship.
This is a morning worth remembering, because here, an action that will change history is about to begin.
On the airport runway in the distance, two brand new transport planes were undergoing final inspections.
Under the belly of the aircraft, camouflaged Bobcat all-terrain vehicles are neatly parked.
Special forces soldiers are checking their parachutes and making final preparations for the upcoming airborne battle.
And on the sea farther away, the shadows of the aircraft carrier battle group were looming.
All carrier-based aircraft are in position and ready to provide fire support to the landing troops at any time.
This is a total war, a unified action that requires the whole country's efforts.
In order to protect the motherland's land and achieve national unity, everyone is ready to give everything.
Jiang Chaoyang stood on the podium and looked at these high-spirited soldiers.
He knew that when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds, the operation code-named "Unification of Mountains and Rivers" would officially begin!
…………
At dawn, dozens of JF-17 fighter jets were lined up in an orderly formation on the runway of an airport on the southeast coast.
The roar of the engine echoed in the morning mist.
"Operation Mountain and River, the first wave of air strikes begins!" An order came from the command tower.
"Understood!" the pilots responded in unison.
The roar of the engines suddenly increased, and one after another, the JF-17 fighter jets took off into the sky, turning into silver lightning in the morning light, heading straight towards Frog Island.
at the same time.
Inside the Frog Island Air Force Base, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded.
"Enemy planes! Enemy planes!" the radar operator's voice trembled. "A large number of unidentified aircraft are approaching, heading 315, 200 kilometers away!"
"How many?" The officer on duty rushed to the radar screen.
"At least... at least forty!"
Sirens blared at airports across the country.
The Frog Island pilots, who were still asleep, hurriedly put on their flight suits and ran to the apron.
"Attention everyone! This is not a drill! This is not a drill!"
The bald air force commander shouted on the communication channel.
"Take off and intercept immediately! We must not let the enemy planes break through the defense line!"
P-51 Mustang fighter planes took off one after another.
These old fighter planes from World War II look so old and weak in the morning light.
The roar of the propellers contrasts sharply with the roar of the jet engines.
As they continued to take off, the ground air defense forces had already started shooting.
However, the slow rotation speed of the 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun could not keep up with the maneuverability of the JF-17 fighter.
The anti-aircraft gun shells created black flowers in the sky, but they couldn't even find the shadow of the Xiaolong.
"Enemy planes are 80 kilometers away!"
“60 kilometers!”
“40 kilometers!”
On the radar screen, the light spot representing the JF-17 fighter jet is approaching at an alarming speed.
"Enemy planes spotted!" a P-51 pilot shouted. "Oh my God...they're so fast!"
Before he finished speaking, a JF-17 fighter jet emerged from the formation and pierced the P-51 formation like a sharp knife.
The 30mm cannon spewed out deadly flames, and a P-51 instantly turned into a fireball.
"Scatter! Scatter quickly!" the commander shouted.
But it's too late.
The gap between modern fighter planes and old World War II aircraft cannot be made up by courage.
The JF-17 fighter jets shuttled among the P-51s like a falcon playing with sparrows.
“They’re behind me! I can’t get rid of them!”
"Help! My engine's been hit!"
“It’s too fast…I can’t even lock onto the target!”
Cries of terror echoed in the communication channel.
In just a few minutes, more than a dozen P-51s were shot down.
The remaining planes fled in panic, but in the face of supersonic fighters, escape was futile.
"Leader aircraft calling headquarters," the pilot of the lead aircraft in the JF-17 formation said calmly, "The enemy air force has been eliminated. Requesting the start of the second phase of bombing."
"Approved!" The command center replied immediately, "Begin clearing strikes on enemy airfields, radar stations, and air defense positions!"
The JF-17 fighter jet roared past over Frog Island.
Precision-guided bombs rained down, blasting huge craters on the airport runway.
The air defense missile positions were reduced to ruins in the bombing, and the radar stations were precisely destroyed by anti-radiation missiles.
In just half an hour, Frog Island's air superiority was completely eliminated.
Those P-51s who tried to resist became victims of this one-sided massacre.
Their remains are scattered everywhere, bearing witness to the changing times.
"Reporting to headquarters," the lead aircraft reported again, "air superiority has been established. The ground target clearance rate has reached over 95%."
"Please notify the second wave of troops that they can begin the operation."
On the distant sea, the aircraft carrier battle group has entered its designated position.
Carrier-based aircraft are warming up on the deck, preparing to clear out the remaining targets.
At the transport airport, airborne troops have boarded transport planes, preparing to launch a fatal blow to the enemy's command center.
This operation, code-named "Unification of Mountains and Rivers", has begun with tremendous force.
And this is just the beginning, the bigger battle is yet to come...
