Transmigrated as the Crown Prince
Chapter 994 Landing War (2)
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a sound of teeth chattering in the observation post, and two pairs of horrified eyes were staring at the terrifying giant wall of water that exploded on the sea five kilometers away. They even forgot to report to the battalion commander in time; all they could think of was A thought, this was actually caused by the explosion of a bomb? ! Is this a weapon that humans can make? ! Why is it more like a punishment sent down by God? !
Of course, the explosion of the atomic egg caused more than just a visual impact. After a few seconds, the energy generated by the explosion was exhausted, and the huge wall of water crashed back into the sea under the influence of the earth's gravity.
At the same time, due to the nuclear explosion, a large amount of sea water was sucked up, creating a vacuum underwater. When the seawater on both sides pours in to fill the space, the seawater outside exerts thrust. Up and down, millions of tons of seawater and sea sand surge, producing unimaginable power, stirring up waves with a height of nearly 100 meters. , sweeping towards all directions with a devastating force!
When the first wave washed ashore, it was still forty or fifty meters high and its momentum continued unabated!
"Oh God! Oh my God! This, this, this...!" The corporal in the observation post finally came to his senses and let out a desperate howl. "Run!!" But their observation post was less than 500 meters away from the coast. Before the two of them could run a few steps, the turbulent seawater had already submerged the observation post that was half buried in the ground.
Although waves cannot surge forward on land, the waves caused by the explosion of atomic eggs are different from the waves caused by typhoons. The explosion of atomic eggs underwater creates waves similar to tsunamis. It is not a thin layer, but The "water wall" that is tens to hundreds of meters thick sweeps over, and the kinetic energy it contains is completely unmatched by ordinary waves.
What's even more fatal for the US military is that the terrain here is quite flat, and the defense line they built is not much higher than the sea level. When the remaining waves hit the US military's first position, the height of the waves was still seven or eight meters.
The U.S. soldiers hiding in the underground air defense fortifications did not hear the dense explosions that should have sounded above their heads. Instead, they felt the ground shaking slightly.
"What's going on?!" The soldiers suddenly panicked. "Is it an earthquake?!"
"What? It's an earthquake!!"
"earthquake!!"
"God, you can't be so unlucky, can you?!"
The western Pacific coast of the United States is located at the demise boundary of the Pacific Plate and the American Plate, and earthquakes are also very frequent, but the central and eastern regions of the United States are located within the American Plate and have fewer earthquakes.
Of course, just because it's less, doesn't mean it won't happen. More than fifty years ago, in 1886, a magnitude 3 earthquake struck Charleston, South Carolina, causing serious damage to 2,000 buildings.
The Great Charleston Earthquake was the strongest earthquake to hit the East Coast of the United States to date, shaking nearly half of the United States - as far north as Boston, Massachusetts, northwest as far as Chicago, Illinois, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and as far west as Louisiana The earthquake was felt as far away as New Orleans, as far south as Cuba, and as far east as Bermuda. The earthquake was so violent that some speculated that the Florida Peninsula had broken away from the North American continent.
Isn't this near Charleston? ! If there were another earthquake of around 7 or 8 magnitude, they would really be buried alive here!
"Run! We are going to be buried alive!!" I don't know who shouted, and the soldiers' already tense nerves were instantly ignited, and the entire underground fortification exploded. Everyone was desperate, pushing and chasing each other. Run towards the exit. They can fight with the enemy on the battlefield and die without regrets; but they don't want to be buried alive because of the earthquake, which would be too useless.
Officers tried hard to maintain order but to no avail, and a stampede even occurred.
However, all this chaos did not last long. After a few seconds, turbulent seawater poured into the underground fortifications, instantly knocking everyone to pieces.
As subsequent waves came one after another, the American defense line became a vast ocean.
Washington.
"What?!!"
In the combat conference room, everyone's faces had expressions as if they had seen a ghost; everyone's eyes were focused on the face of the combat staff who came to report.
"Again, what happened to our defense?"
"According to a call from the Columbia (South Carolina state capital) headquarters..." The combat staff also looked incredulous. "The Germans used huge waves to destroy the H-03-4 defense line near Charleston."
"That's all?" Vice President Truman was furious. "Let's be clear! What does it mean to destroy our defense line with huge waves?! Did the Germans invite Poseidon?!"
The staff officer looked innocent. "This is the content of the telegram sent by the Columbia Command, Mr. Vice President." This place is more than 700 kilometers away from Charleston, and he did not have the clairvoyance to see what happened, so he could only report the contents of the telegram received truthfully.
Vice President Truman waved his hand. "Go and ask them to report in detail what happened!!"
"Yes!" The staff officer quickly exited the combat command room.
Everyone in the room had a serious look on their face, but Vice President Truman slumped on his chair, motionless, as if he had aged ten years suddenly. After a long while, he slowly spoke. "Everyone, what do you think this is? Do the Germans really know how to use magic?"
Everyone was also confused and couldn't figure out how the Germans caused huge waves to destroy their own defenses.
But the most urgent problem now is that the H-03-4 defense line has been destroyed, and the Germans can easily land from there.
Marshall asked anxiously. "Are there any other troops nearby?"
Standing in front of the sand table, MacArthur slowly shook his head with an extremely ugly face. "Because only that section of that area is suitable for landing, so... the closest troops there are also the H-03-5 defense line 100 kilometers away. However, once the troops there are mobilized, the defense of that defense line will become weak. The reserves in South Carolina are 200 kilometers away." The U.S. coastline is too long. Even if they try their best to eliminate locations that are not suitable for landing, there are still thousands of kilometers of defense lines to protect. The length of the Atlantic defense line alone exceeds 2,000 kilometers.
What is the concept of a 2,000-kilometer defense line? Even if 500 soldiers are deployed per kilometer, 1 million people are needed. As a result, the defense line they built was not deep and they did not have many reserves. If there was a problem with one defense line, they could only mobilize troops from nearby defense lines for rescue. Just like the current situation, they can either watch the Germans land in front of their eyes, or they can only demolish the east wall to repair the west wall. Of course, no one can guarantee that the Germans will not take the opportunity to launch a landing war from the H-03-5 defense line. .
"We must not allow the Germans to land easily, and order the troops on the H-03-5 defense line to immediately support the H-03-4 defense line; if the Germans have landed, they must be driven into the sea!"
