There was no disruption and the evacuation was carried out in an orderly manner. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Within an hour, six C-17Bs had already left LaGuardia Airport with 300 FOS fighters on board, and the transport plane that took off first had flown 800 kilometers over the Atlantic.

When the seventh C-17B took off, it carried a hundred FOS fighters instead of fifty.

For a large transport plane capable of carrying more than 70 tons of cargo, carrying 100 heavily armed fighters is not much different from carrying 50. When requesting to evacuate, the gray-backed jackal took into account the unexpected and left a margin. In exceptional cases, only three C-17Bs are needed to send all FOS fighters away.

Because time was already very tight, after the seventh C-17B took to the air, the eighth C-17B was in the take-off position.

In a hurry, the FOS fighters did not refuel this plus transport aircraft. With no load, the C-17B has a cruising range of more than 12 thousand kilometers. The transport planes flew from a nearby air base and flew no more than one and a half thousand kilometers before reaching LaGuardia Airport. The 100 FOS fighters on board are not comparable to the fuel burned, so the remaining fuel is still capable of flying more than 10,000 kilometers.

A range of 10,000 kilometers is sufficient for an evacuation operation.

The eighth C-17B took off about five minutes after the seventh, by which time the ninth C-17B had reached the end of the runway and was ready for takeoff.

In order to paralyze the U.S. military, Liu Wei specially sent more than a dozen reconstructed soldiers to LaGuardia Airport.

Because all the FOS fighters boarded the transport plane through the passage of the terminal building, the US military could not confirm how many attackers were in the transport plane, only that there were still many attackers at the airport, preparing for the takeoff of the tenth transport plane, and at the same time taking care of the hostages.

That's enough.

As the ninth transport plane prepared to take off, Norris walked into the command center in the strategic bunker.

"General, how's the situation going?"

"The ninth transport plane is about to take off, and the last group of attackers is inside the airport, and the last transport plane is boarded." On the screen, Robert appears confident. "Our special forces are already in place, the bombers have arrived at the bombing area, ready to attack."

"The safety of hostages, especially women and children, must be ensured."

"After the bombing begins, we will simultaneously destroy the transport aircraft parked on the ground. According to the information we have, the hostage-guarding attackers will leave on the last transport plane, and the bombing will eliminate the vast majority of the attackers. Of course, our special forces are ready to enter the departure hall thirty seconds after the bombing, kill the attackers who may have stayed, and take control of the entire airfield. ”

"How many collateral casualties?"

"We will try to minimize collateral casualties, but there is no guarantee that no civilians will be harmed. It's a massive attack, and it's good to be able to reduce casualties. ”

Norris let out a long sigh and nodded, not saying anything more.

"President, do you want to start now?"

Norris glanced at Sternberg, Archibald and other officials standing next to him, then turned his gaze to the screen, nodded at Admiral Robert, and said, "Let's get started, let's wrap it up." ”

"Yes, President!"

On the screen, Robert turned his head and gave an order to the staff officer next to him.

The battle plan has long been finalized, and the bombers and special forces for assault missions have been deployed in place, just waiting for the president's orders.

Fifteen seconds later, the leader of the B-2A bomber group reconfirmed the order and pressed the bomb dropping switch.

As the B-2A's bomb bay door opened, the first JDAM gliding guided bombs equipped with extended-range wings were ejected from the rotating bomb racks in the bomb bay.

In order to improve the accuracy of bombing and minimize collateral casualties, these JDAM are equipped with laser seekers.

GPS guidance has an accuracy of 10 meters, while laser guidance has an accuracy of 1 meter, which minimizes damage to buildings near the bombing site.

In less than two minutes, six B-2As dropped all their bombs.

They are all small-diameter bombs of 150 pounds, enough to destroy point targets without causing serious damage to buildings and urban infrastructure.

As long as it is accurate enough, it will not even cause serious harm to civilians in buildings near the bombing site.

When the B-2A bomb was dropped, more than 30 unmanned reconnaissance planes that had been hovering over Manhattan had lowered their flight altitude under the control of ground personnel, activated the laser irradiators they carried, and fired hundreds of laser beams at the bombing targets through multiple prisms and frequency division systems.

First and foremost is the Empire State Building.

A total of four unmanned reconnaissance planes aimed eight laser beams at the top floor of the iconic building, and four JDAM bombs flew from more than 40 kilometers away along the reflected laser beams at a speed of more than 200 meters per second.

Because the glass curtain wall of high-rise buildings will emit laser beams, so that the laser seeker on the bomb cannot intercept the signal, and therefore cannot fly along the optical path of the laser beam, so while laser guidance is used, the eight JDAM also activate the GPS and habitual guidance system.

Fortunately, this is not a point target, but a surface target.

Bombing the top floor of the Empire State Building with eight bombs, even if the bombing accuracy is a little lower, the impact is not very great. What's more, the attackers certainly won't let civilians into the Empire State Building, at least not so close to nuclear warheads, so they won't cause much collateral casualties.

In addition to the guidance method, these eight JDAM are equipped with different warheads.

After testing with computer simulations, the technicians of the US military found that it would be difficult to ensure the complete destruction of nuclear warheads if ordinary warheads were used. Even if it accurately hits the target and the nuclear warhead loses its ability to detonate, it is very likely to cause the nuclear warhead to explode, spreading thousands of grams or even more than 10 kilograms of highly concentrated radioactive substances into the atmosphere, causing large-scale pollution and even more serious consequences.

To ensure that the nuclear warhead does not explode, it is necessary to use additional warheads.

For this purpose, the US military specially equipped these eight JDAM with high-temperature combustion warheads.

After the bomb is detonated, the incendiary agent filled with the warhead is capable of generating a high temperature of more than 1,000 degrees Celsius and continuing to burn for several minutes. Because any kind of nuclear warhead has strict safety protection measures to prevent detonation and the core of the nuclear charge is protected with high-strength materials, and the detonation is also lazy, and it is not easy to be detonated by external factors, so the high temperature generated by the incendiary bomb will only burn out the detonation equipment of the nuclear warhead, such as the circuit board set outside the core.

What's more, the heat kills attackers in the vicinity of nuclear warheads in an instant, and prevents other attackers from approaching.

In these few minutes, U.S. special forces will be able to arrive in time to find nuclear warheads, kill other attackers, and disrupt the attackers' massive means of retaliation.

In terms of bomb power, one JDAM will do the trick.

Eight coins were dropped at the same time, just to be on the safe side.

The bombing target in second place was not the Federal Reserve Bank, but the C-17B on the LaGuardia airfield.

When the battle plan was being formulated, the C.I.A. demanded that no matter what method was used, several attackers must be caught, even if it was just corpses. Only in this way can we find out the real culprit behind the scenes. If the attackers were allowed to escape, there would be no evidence of who did it, even if it was known.

Robert took the CIA's advice and decided to track the C-17B.

It's just that those transport planes have to fly tens of thousands of kilometers to reach their destination, and anything will happen during this period, and it is not a perfect solution.

After the president finalized the offensive operation, Robert added this bombing mission as requested by the CIA.

Although the bombing is very likely to kill all the attackers in the transport plane, the CIA wants to live or die, let alone the corpse, as long as the DNA of the attacker can be extracted, the CIA and other intelligence agencies have a way to follow the clues.

This time, only two JDAM were used, and the one that was dropped was aimed at the airport tower.

Destroy the transport plane parked on the ground, one bomb is enough.

Because the transport plane was still outside the terminal building and was loaded with aviation fuel, there was a high demand for precision, and special forces had to arrive in time to evacuate the women and children trapped in the terminal building.

Unfortunately, the Navy SEALs are so limited in size that they can't take care of everything.

Robert had no choice but to dispatch the Army's Delta Force and stand by outside the airfield. When the B-2A dropped the bomb, 30 helicopters carrying Delta commandos had already lifted off and were flying towards the airfield at an altitude of less than 10 metres over the strait north of the airport.

The last of the three key bombing targets was the Federal Reserve Bank.

This is also the one with the largest number of bombing points among the three key targets.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, not only will all the surface facilities of the Federal Reserve Bank be bombed, but the main rainwater and wastewater drainage pipes will be blown up, depending on the distribution of the municipal underground network system, so that the attackers will not discharge the solvents into the network after the bombardment.

As for the bombing of the underground vaults of the Federal Reserve Bank, it is basically impossible.

In order to penetrate the surface of the earth tens of meters thick, it is necessary to use at least 2,000 pounds of ground-penetrating bombs, and it is necessary to ensure that two or three bombs hit the same place. Because the Federal Reserve Bank is encased in reinforced concrete more than 10 meters thick, even if it blows open the surface, it will not necessarily destroy the underground vault.

As long as the buildings on the ground are blown up, there is no need to blow up the underground vaults.

The special forces will arrive after the bombardment is over, take control of the surface positions, and even if some of the attackers are still spared, they will not be a match for the special forces.

In addition to the three key bombing targets, the U.S. military had to destroy hundreds of communications network nodes in Manhattan.

Because most of these facilities are on the surface, or three to five meters below the ground, laser-guided bombs can be used, and they don't require much power, and a 150-pound JDAM equipped with a ground-penetrating warhead will do the job. It's just that to bomb so many targets, in addition to the need to dispatch dozens of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to irradiate targets, it is also necessary to split the skin to bomb. That is, JDAM bombs were dropped in four batches at fifteen-second intervals.

The U.S. military's air strikes were thunderous, and the reconstructed fighters who stayed behind quickly saw it.
