Full-Scale Attack on Panama
Chapter 246:Full-Scale Attack on Panama
If Latin America is America’s backyard, then Panama is the door to America’s backyard.
After the United States stole the Panama Canal from Panama in the early 20th century, the United States stationed heavy troops in Panama.
After the outbreak of World War II, in order to strengthen the security of the back door, the United States strengthened its military presence in Panama, and the garrison in the Panama Canal and the Caribbean Sea combined to form the Caribbean headquarters.
The Caribbean Command has eight major military bases in Panama, with a total of 30,000 troops, and is responsible for the accidental military operations in the Western Hemisphere on the U.S. mainland.
Among the eight military bases, the main military bases close to the Pacific Ocean, are Fort Clayton Army Base, Fort Amado Army Base, Rodman Naval Base, Howard Air Force Base and Albrecht Air Force Base.
The U.S. military base in the Panama River region, which has not yet installed radar in time, does not know the huge fleet of aircraft that appears in the night sky.
The bomber group, which took off directly from the Isabella Islands, arrived in the Panama River region on time, and everyone was asleep at one of the United States air bases.
Panama is very quiet at night, and if there is no war, it will be a quiet and peaceful night.
Less than a kilometer from the ground in the air, the roar of the bomber broke the silence on the ground.
American soldiers in their sleep, get up quickly, because the alarm has sounded.
The only mountaintop position on either side of the two air bases can be seen, and two radar stations under construction can be seen, but everything is too late, a huge roar is coming, and a huge aerial bomb is falling.
Breaking the quiet night, the dense explosion exploded inside two air bases, and many aircraft parked in the airport and hangar were detonated.
Shard-killing missiles, ruthless anti-personnel personnel, dense shrapnel flying under the explosion, many U.S. soldiers who were too late to wear clothes, annibalized in the explosion.
The fire in the sky lit up the whole camp, and everywhere was in disrepair.
A large number of bombers were deployed, and the two air bases were intensively bombarded, and the duration of the bombing lasted more than half an hour, when the last of the missiles fell, and the two air bases of the US military were all covered by fire.
At the same time, at the beginning of the bombing, the soldiers of the two paratroopers camp quickly carried out the parachute landing in the vicinity.
This was not expected by the Americans, paratroopers landed in the nearby jungle, completed the assembly in half an hour, surrounded two air bases, and the defeated American soldiers who had just escaped from the two air bases were disarmed.
Unsuspecting American soldiers, a small number of resisters were quickly killed, most of them were unable to raise their hands, because they had no weapons and equipment to resist, and some did not even put on their clothes, and the smoke ran out of the air force camp.
The two air bases, which add up to nearly 6,000 people, have fallen without even the time for anti-aircraft guns to counterattack.
The dense carpet bombing, instantly covering the entire air base, was a new mode of warfare that the Americans had never seen before.
When the fire completely engulfed the two air bases, the number of American soldiers who escaped was less than 1,000.
On the other side, at the Rodman Naval Base on the edge of Panama City, two U.S. Navy cruisers and several destroyers, as well as patrol gunboats, were almost completely destroyed.
Under the leadership of a fearless second-class battleship, an amphibious strike fleet surrounded the Rodman Naval Base, and all the U.S. warships patrolling the perimeter were killed by submarines.
After the bombers sounded the horn of attack, the fleet that quietly surrounded it also shelled the Rodman Naval Base.
Dense artillery shells fell on the U.S. military base.
This naval base is the first naval base of the United States in Latin America, because of the capture of Hawaii, part of the Marine Corps recruits, all sent to this naval base, for military training.
In fact, thousands of new Navy recruits arrived in Panama today by train from the United States.
In this naval base, in addition to the original two battalions of Marines, there are more than 3,000 recruits, plus a large number of naval personnel, only in this naval base personnel, has been more than 10,000.
The United States is using all the forces at its disposal to train more troops.
Some in the United States are aware that Panama may be the target of attack, but the Pentagon's main eyes are now in the Pacific and Europe, and it is impossible to send the main force to Panama.
Therefore, a large number of new recruits will be sent to Panama, so that the local garrison can be trained to form a combat force, and naturally strengthen the military strength of the Panama region.
Although it is not the most important thing for the Panama region, the US side is not really relaxed.
According to the Pentagon plan, a total of 70,000 new troops will be sent to Panama, and the United States will prepare 100,000 troops in Panama.
The radar station that is being built, and the air base that is ready to be expanded, are the best proof.
However, the Red Guards were moving so fast that the Americans, despite their rapid preparations, were slow.
Especially the recruits in the various military bases, some of them have just put on their military uniforms and have not even touched the gun.
However, the enemy will not be merciless because of this, the war is cruel, no enemy will stop attacking because you are not ready.
The heavy artillery firing of the amphibious strike group, although the coverage is not as strong as the bomber, but the victory is constantly in the flow.
The dense artillery almost destroyed the U.S. warships docked at the Navy Base port, and the large-caliber shells flew to the soldiers' barracks in the naval base.
The harsh alarm sounded, and the hurried American soldiers were confused, not to mention new recruits, even the veterans were helpless.
The American soldiers in this period had no combat experience at all, and there was no need to do it under such circumstances, what to do, could only instinctively take up arms, run out of the barracks, and then listen to screams, cries, and find no enemies.
The barracks of the recruits, a 406 mm shell fell, the amazing explosion blew on the flat ground, the wooden barracks was destroyed by the shock wave of the explosion on four or three weeks, the debris flew, and some of the panicked crowd was directly annihilated by the explosion, and the people on the edge were swept away as leaves.
Unsuspecting U.S. soldiers, human bodies, simply can't stop this huge explosive power, the power of shock waves and oscillations, easily let the internal organs bleed, the U.S. soldiers who fall to the ground, only the people on the outside of the explosion, barely able to save a little, close to a little people, in the end has long since lost their lives.
More and more shells, covering the American army's camps, the dust and smoke that exploded, the fire that bursting into the sky, the red light mixed with the smoke, and the doom everywhere was a doom scene.
Many of the still-living recruits, looking at the corpses on the ground, were all in a circle, and the Air Force spread inside their hearts, and many people cried and cried.
And the fire of the shelling, has not stopped, completely unprepared, and the United States, which is not prepared in the heart, has collapsed.
When the four starting landing craft of the amphibious strike group arrived at the beachhead, there was no resistance.
Eight tanks rushed directly into the U.S. Naval Base, behind the tank, the helicopter hovered, one after another Marine soldiers, from the helicopter rope down.
Every Marine of the Red Guards Regiment, armed with assault rifles, followed the tanks to the camp.
At no point in the U.S. naval base, which had little resistance, the gunfire was sparse and soon fell silent.
Throughout the naval base, there were only screaming Americans, which left the Red Guards rather speechless.
It was thought that after the forced landing, there would be a bloody battle, and the result was a complete overestimation of the quality of the American military at this moment.
In fact, if there are not too many recruits, the original US soldiers in the naval base are indeed capable of resistance, but the defeat is like a mountain, and with no command, the result is already doomed.
The few who resisted were veterans of the U.S. military, but with their ability, they could not compete.
In just two hours, the battle was completely over, thousands of American soldiers were taken prisoner, and the Rodman Naval Base fell.
The Third Marine Division, the rapid landing success, the Panama Canal Pacific import and export, was captured.
The Panamanian army, which heard the news, did not even fire a shot, and withdrew directly.
The astute Panamanians, there is no favor with the United States, just to do the appearance, to tell the U.S. government, we did not watch the play, but also sent troops to support the U.S. military, but the enemy is too strong, before we arrived, we have completely captured the military base of the U.S. military, we have no way.
Seeing the actions of the Panamanian army, the Red Guards did not attack the Panamanian army, but began to strengthen the landing site, because there will be more and more troops to land in Panama.
When the attack horn sounded, the two U.S. Army bases in Panama were also hit by unprecedented-scale air strikes.
The two army bases are the main military forces of the United States in Panama, each of which is stationed with tens of thousands of U.S. soldiers, and the number of U.S. soldiers in the two army bases has exceeded 40,000.
The sudden attack by the Red Guards Corps was unprecedented in the minds of Americans, and the intensity and density of the attack were unprecedented.
The dense bombers also reached the airbases and naval bases at two army bases while bombing air bases.
The dense aerial bombs fell like rain, washing the entire naval base, and the multi-machine formations flew over the US military base, and the missiles in the bombardment bin fell intensively.
Bombers inside the bombers can clearly see the ground, the fire that has exploded, and quickly covered the entire U.S. Army base.
And a row of bombers flew over, even if the fire below, did not stop the work of dropping the missiles.
In order to accurately bombard, the height of the bombers was reduced to only about kilometer from the ground, and the dense missiles were all small bombs weighing 25 kg.
At the distance of the Isabella Islands and Panama, all bombers were able to carry a full load of ammunition, and a bomber carried a full 15 tons of bombs, easily allowing targets to be completely covered by fire.
Such a rich level of attack is a luxury that no country could have in the early and mid-World War II.
Multi-machine fork carpet bombing, the entire U.S. Army military base, completely covered by fire, has not seen the original military base inside the building complex.
In the sky, accompanied by the bomber is a giant spirit transport aircraft, not far from the U.S. Army base on a flat river beach, up to more than 20 kilometers, a giant spirit transport aircraft, flying at a height of less than five meters close to the ground, the tail door is open, the door directly close to the ground.
In the cabin, a multi-functional infantry battlefield taxied directly from the airport, followed by the second multi-purpose infantry fighting vehicle, unloaded two infantry fighting vehicles, the transport aircraft quickly pulled off.
Flying on the ground and unloading the paratrooper heavy tank, this is a super dangerous skill that requires the pilot's extremely superb driving skills, as well as the incomparable familiarity with the terrain, and great courage, otherwise it is the end of the machine's destruction.
And dozens of transport aircraft, all made the same close-up flight, hundreds of infantry fighting vehicles appeared on the battlefield, or at night time, is simply the behavior of crazy people.
The infantry fighting vehicle has just fallen, the power system of the tank, and the tank is full of heavily armed paratroopers, quickly rushing in the direction of the target.
In the sky, dense paratroopers floated, one by one heavily armed paratroopers, rapidly landing on the ground, guided by signals, converging with a vehicle of infantry fighting vehicles.
A large number of paratroopers began to surround the U.S. Army base, and the fire and motion of the explosion could be heard from within a kilometer.
In the army base, many American army soldiers rushed out of the camp covered by fire and explosion.
When paratroopers appeared, the battle inevitably broke out.
Several American M2 tanks rushed out of the sea of fire, quickly joined the battlefield, escaped the US soldiers from the base, and arranged the line of defense in the new boot camp built outside the base.
The intensive firepower is in the confrontation, and the paratroopers who are accompanied by the attack of multi-functional infantry fighting vehicles quickly approach the US defenses.
The U.S. defense line reflected in the fire, clearly visible, broke the U.S. Army, which broke the battle, and the tenacious will to fight broke out, the U.S. non-commissioned officers at the grassroots level kept boosting morale, cheered the soldiers, and put up rifles to prepare for counterattack.
An American M2 tank that had just arrived at the front of the line of the line had not yet stopped, and a shell flew in the darkness and instantly blew up the tank.
The assault guns of multi-purpose infantry combat vehicles are more than enough to be used against the tanks of this era.
However, just as the Red Police Paratroopers were preparing to launch an attack, a 406 mm file flew in the distance and bombed more than a dozen paratroopers.
