Chapter 247: Devastating Strike

April 15, 2056 is definitely a day worth remembering.

On this day, the US military used viral genetic weapons called "g1" on multiple battlefields in the West Coast region at the same time.

The victim is the Chinese Marine Corps.

At first, the front-line officers and soldiers had no abnormal feelings, and the Marine Corps did not even notice it, and regarded the genetic shells fired by the US military as duds. It was not until two days later, when a large number of officers and soldiers experienced internal bleeding, accompanied by kidney and liver failure, they found that there was a virus in the patient's body that could destroy the genetic genes of cells and cause rapid cell cancer. And through the shells collected on the battlefield, it was confirmed that the US military used genetic weapons.

The Marines took immediate measures to transport anti-cancer drugs to the front line.

Clinical evidence has been shown that anti-cancer drugs can only relieve the symptoms. As long as the medication is stopped, the symptoms will repeat and become more serious than before the medication is taken.

Within a week, thousands of Marine officers and soldiers died of illness.

The battle on the front line did not stop, and the Marines began to look for other ways of confrontation, including installing strong ultraviolet killing devices in front line vulnerable places, such as military camps, troop assembly sites, supply centers, etc., focusing on attacking US military long-range artillery, bombing US military suspicious troops, etc.

In the rear, medical scientists and genetic experts are also working hard to develop drugs to combat genetic weapons.

At that time, some field doctors had discovered that about one in ten of the officers and soldiers infected with viral genetic weapons recovered after a high fever and did not need to use anti-cancer drugs at all. By extracting DNA samples from these officers and soldiers, they found that antibodies appeared in their bodies and had the ability to heal themselves.

Subsequently, genetic experts began to find ways to fight viral genetic weapons.

The US military did not stop using genetic weapons and continued to fire shells equipped with viral genetic weapons at the Chinese Marine Corps within the next ten days.

By the end of April, the situation was already quite serious.

At that time, the most effective way of confrontation was to distribute a full set of three-defense suits to officers and soldiers who had to be exposed to the enemy. When returning to the camp, they used special potions to completely clean the virus attached to the three-defense suits.

The problem is that frontline officers and soldiers are basically unable to fight in three defense uniforms.

Fortunately, ground warfare platforms have three-defense capabilities, and their high-pressure air power system can isolate the virus outside and the occupants will not be infected.

Obviously, the Marines' combat effectiveness began to decline.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the US military launched a counterattack on various battlefields, but did not achieve immediate results. The main reason is that after the virus invades the human body, it has an incubation period, usually twenty-four hours, the shortest is only a few hours, and the longest is several months. In other words, virus-like genetic weapons cannot be killed immediately. The result is that even if Marine Corps officers and soldiers are sick, they will not immediately lose their combat capabilities.

It was not until April 20 that the US military's counterattack improved.

However, by this time, Sima Wenzheng had already begun to switch front-line troops, sent the twenty marine divisions deployed in the Mariana Islands to the battlefield, and began to gather the army combat troops on the front line, and gradually replaced those marine divisions with reduced combat power.

It can be said that the battle was extremely fierce.

At that time, the US military had a superstitious attitude towards genetic weapons, as if they believed that such weapons developed against the Chinese could defeat the Chinese army. The result was that at any location, the US military was using genetic weapons and regarded genetic weapons as a panacea for victory.

Are genetic weapons panacea?

The answer is obviously no.

By the end of April, the US military failed to break through the encirclement and was still blocked by the Chinese army on several battlefields and was in a state of isolation from each other.

However, the Chinese army has no way to encircle and annihilate these US troops for the time being.

In any case, annihilation of the US military is only a matter of time, and the Chinese army has just the time.

Until the last day of April, an extremely bad thing changed the course of the battle.

That night, a small group of US special forces infiltrated the defense line of the Chinese army and attacked a field hospital near San Jose. At that time, there were more than 5,000 wounded and sick people in the hospital, and tens of thousands of Asian residents who escaped from big cities nearby, many of whom were Chinese. US special forces first destroyed the strong ultraviolet killing system used to protect the hospital, and then released more than ten cans of virus-like genetic weapons. During the retreat, US special forces also blew up the drug warehouse and killed and injured dozens of military doctors.

This is a disastrous result.

When the Marine Corps reinforcements arrived, all the wounded and sick in the hospital, as well as the civilians who were taking refuge, were infected and their condition was very serious.

You should know that virus-like genetic weapons have the strongest contagious ability at night when the temperature is low.

Before dawn, thousands of people died and tens of thousands more were critically ill.

By the time the Marines began to rescue, the death toll had reached more than 10,000, and most of them were wounded in poor health, as well as children and elderly people with weak constitutions among the civilians. Thousands of Marines who participated in the rescue were infected.

The news soon reached Sima Wenzheng.

On May 1, Sima Wenzheng personally ordered that frontline troops were not allowed to accept the surrender of US troops near San Jose, and all captured US troops were executed on the spot. Then the Marines began shelling and bombing US positions near San Jose, which eventually turned into a full-scale attack on San Jose.

It can be said that this is the real disaster.

During the full bombardment and bombing in the first twenty-four hours, hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties were killed and killed in San Jose.

But, this is not over yet.

When the news reached the country, Mu Haoyang organized emergency treatment for frontline patients while instructing Sima Wenzheng to severely punish the US military that undermined the war rules.

You should know that in this war, the Chinese army has always been relatively restrained and has never pointed its finger at the wounded US military.

In fact, most of the time, the Chinese army was very active in rescuing the wounded US military and providing comprehensive humanitarian assistance to the captured wounded. After the war, many US military wounded soldiers who had received help from the Chinese army became peaceful people and were committed to the cause of Sino-US friendship.

However, there are always some war madmen who ignore the most basic rules of engagement.

At that time, if it ended here, it would be just an accidental event and would not have much impact.

The problem is that the news finally reached Huang Hanlin, and on the list of attacks and deaths, there was the son of senior central government officials. Among them, Du Xiaolei's youngest son.

Now, the problem becomes serious.

Huang Hanlin's first instruction was to be too rude and he must not tolerate terrorists who created humanitarian disasters. The army must at all costs make the enemy realize that using weapons of mass destruction again will only destroy itself and it is absolutely impossible to reverse the situation.

At this point, even Mu Haoyang could not stop it.

On May 5, the Air Force dispatched hundreds of large electric transport aircraft and threw tens of millions of leaflets in the Greater San Francisco area, demanding that the U.S. troops in the region surrender within 24 hours, otherwise they would be devastating, and China would never give the U.S. troops a second chance.

To put it bluntly, if the US military did not surrender within 24 young people, they would not even be prisoners of war.

Unfortunately, the US military did not surrender, but decided to continue to resist.

On May 6, at 8:00 on the West Coast time of the United States, a full-scale crackdown began.

In the first round of full-scale bombing, the Air Force dispatched 4,000 bombs and dropped 100,000 tons of bombs over San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Stockton, Modesto and San Jose, of which 50,000 tons were specially designed to deal with oil and gas mixed incendiary bombs hiding in buildings.

Before the aftermath of the first bombing had passed, the second bombing began. Nine thousand fighter jets from the Navy dropped 50,000 tons of bombs over these already bombed cities, and there were a large number of small time bombs thrown by spreaders.

After two rounds of bombing technology, the shelling began.

Participating in the artillery were thirty long-range artillery battalions of ten Marine Divisions, more than 100 warships in the main fleet, and nearly 300 fire support ships, using thousands of various long-range artillery and large-caliber artillery, and nearly 10 million shells were projected during the artillery fire strike that lasted for nearly four hours, with a bomb drop of more than one million tons.

After the shelling was over, these cities that were hit were actually turned into ruins.

But the blow is not over.

In the afternoon, the bomber group and the fighter group were dispatched again, and in the evening, the second large-scale artillery bombing was carried out. At night, the bombing and artillery bombing were not interrupted.

The full crackdown continued until 8:00 a.m. on May 7.

Within 24 hours, the Chinese army dropped 450,000 tons of bombs and nearly 30 million shells with a total tonnage of 3 million tons. Half of these ammunitions were specially designed to kill people, and many were special ammunitions designed specifically to strike urban buildings. For example, the Air Force used a blunt incendiary bomb at that time, which would not explode immediately when hitting the target, but would spread special combustion agents mixed with aluminum and magnesium powder to detonate, thereby killing living targets on a large scale. This bomb also has a very unique function, that is, it can delay the detonation time for ten minutes, allowing the combustion agent to penetrate underground, so as to burn those hiding in the basement, or use up oxygen in the basement, causing the suffocation to die.

There is no doubt that this is an absolutely devastating blow.

In these twenty-four hours, it is impossible to count how many people died. There is only one thing that can be confirmed that the Greater San Francisco area no longer exists.

It is estimated that the number of deaths in these 24 hours was more than 10 million.

There is no doubt that the victims are mainly civilians.

Destroying the Greater San Francisco is one thing, and making the enemy realize that resistance is meaningless is another.

You should know that similar devastating strikes can only be once, but not a second time. Not to mention anything else, in the following days, the Chinese army did not launch a large-scale attack, mainly because the ammunition accumulated on the front line was almost used up and could not support large-scale ground operations.

So, how can we make the enemy realize that resistance is meaningless?
