Because it took time to mobilize the helicopters, it was not until two hours later that two CH-53 heavy flew over. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Copperfield did not take matters into his own hands, and in full compliance with the requirements of the other side, only three crew members and four porters were assigned to each helicopter. Liu Wei did not make a big move, so Mobei Wolf sent a squad of FOS fighters to set up observation posts in high-rise buildings on the periphery of the turret park to closely monitor every move of the US military. As long as the U.S. military stays in the park honestly, there is no need to intervene.
When the helicopter arrived at Turret Park, Copperfield took the initiative to contact Liu Wei.
Although he still does not know the specific identity of the other party, according to the information provided by the Pentagon, the attack on Manhattan is certainly not an ordinary terrorist.
Copperfield fully complied with the president's orders and promised to release the Taliban fighters held at Guantanamo, but it would take only one day for the identification process. Liu Wei did not raise any objections, and promised to return the two US military officers after the US military released the hostages.
At this point, it was almost four hours before the start of the attack.
After speaking on the phone with Copperfield, Liu Wei left the command center in the basement of the Empire State Building and rushed to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the north side of Wall Street.
Because the counterattack of the American army was easily defeated, no unpleasant things happened afterwards.
Zhou Yulong had already built a defensive line in the north, an invisible but real defensive line.
Due to manpower limitations, when deploying this line of defense, Zhou Yulong had to make use of all kinds of equipment and equipment, especially blasting equipment.
Almost all of the FOS fighters assigned to him are K1 and special forces demolition experts.
It can be said that in the entire attack plan, Zhou Yulong's side is the most troublesome.
According to Liu Wei's requirements, this line of defense must run through the entire island of Manhattan, from the Hudson River to the East River, with Central Park as the core, and deploy several defensive barriers. If you rely on manpower alone, you will need at least a few thousand troops. Without such a large number of men, the only way to do so was to expand the depth of the defensive line and to set up a large number of explosives to block the U.S. forces with explosives planted on the roadside and in buildings when necessary.
To do this, a large number of explosives had to be brought into Manhattan Island in advance.
Although the US side did not receive any information before the attack, nor did it closely monitor the vehicles entering and leaving Manhattan Island, it was completely in accordance with Zhou Yulong's arrangement, at least 1,000 tons of ** and hundreds of thousands of detonators were needed, and hundreds of kilometers of detonation lines had to be laid.
These supplies and equipment are enough to fill dozens of large trucks.
In order to transport these materials and equipment, Liu Wei had to ask Dian Bin to set up a logistics company under a false identity, buy 50 container trucks from the second-hand car market, rent space near Union Square Park in Manhattan and LaGuardia Airport on Long Island, and operate it for a while.
Three days before the operation began, Liu Wei asked Dian Bin to transport the supplies Zhou Yulong needed into Manhattan.
The supplies were stored in containers in trucks, each of which was guarded by two FOS fighters, and was parked in various parking lots in downtown Manhattan before the operation began. After the FOS squadron led by Liu Wei, Mobei Wolf and Zhou Fen blew up the bridge and tunnel, Zhou Yulong asked his men to march to the predetermined location.
In the first two hours, Zhou Yulong's actions were not very smooth.
The main thing is that there are so many civilians gathered in the streets that some don't even know what's going on. As word spread, there was a scramble in the city, with a large number of people rushing to the bridges and tunnels in a scramble to get out of Manhattan. Fortunately, Zhou Yulong was prepared, equipped each truck with a heavily armed armored Humvee, and asked the convoy to gather separately in the south of Central Park and then go to the destination together.
During this period, the FOS squadron commanded by Zhou Yulong also routed several patrol officers.
Because Liu Wei and Mobei Wolf attacked the Manhattan police station in time and controlled the situation, Zhou Fen and his wife controlled the situation in the city in time and allowed those civilians who could not leave Manhattan to return to their workplaces. Although there were many unpleasant things that happened during this period, such as some self-volunteering civilians trying to attack the convoy of the FOS Legion, and some young people who refused to obey the command, by the time Zhou Yulong began to deploy the defensive line, the situation had stabilized, most of the citizens returned to the buildings, and the flow of people on the streets was much sparser.
Comparatively speaking, deploying a line of defense is the simplest.
A squadron of 100 FOS fighters were all dispatched, except for 20 people who stayed behind to guard the vehicles, and the others all deployed five lines of defense from the north of Central Park, that is, near Columbia University, according to Zhou Yulong's arrangement.
In order to prevent radio interference by the US military, all explosive devices are detonated by wire.
In this regard, Zhou Yulong's ability is beyond doubt. When he partnered with Liu Wei in K1, he was a demoman and was proficient in various blasting methods.
In just two hours, Zhou Yulong deployed the first line of defense north of Central Park.
This is the outermost line of defense, and it is also the most vulnerable line of defense, so there is not much explosives used, but a lot of surveillance equipment is added.
On this defense line, which is about 10 kilometers long, at least more than 300 surveillance equipment are placed, including surveillance cameras, vibration sensors, and infrared sensors. These monitoring devices are divided into two types: light and dark, the bright one is easy to find, and the dark one is very hidden. All monitoring equipment is connected to the Grayback Jackal's command center via a wired network. Because Manhattan has a very complete network system, after the attack began, the command detachment led by the Grayback Jackal destroyed the island's communication exchanges, so it was possible to use the existing communication network without the need to lay additional lines. Just for the insurance period, part of the monitoring equipment is still connected with the command center with a separate communication network.
This is completely understandable, because the U.S. military will certainly destroy the island's communications network after launching a counterattack.
After deploying this line of defense, Zhou Yulong breathed a sigh of relief.
Regardless of whether the U.S. forces will launch a second counterattack immediately, and whether they will enter from the direction of the Bronx, Zhou Yulong does not need to leave more personnel on the defensive line, and can concentrate on deploying the four lines of defense behind and setting up vital blocking positions in Central Park.
These things were enough to keep more than a hundred FOS fighters such as Zhou Yulong busy for a day or two.
Thankfully, FOS fighters have a lot of energy and can continue to fight for several days, during which they only need to fill their bellies, and do not have to rest for several hours a day like ordinary fighters.
When Liu Wei left the command center, Zhou Yulong was busy deploying the second line of defense.
Because the first line of defense is mainly threatened, denied, observed, and monitored, and does not assume the heavy responsibility of defense, the requirements for the second line of defense have been greatly increased.
According to Zhou Yulong's arrangement, at least 10,000 remote-controlled bombs should be planted on this defense line.
These bombs don't have to be too big, they can cover half of the street, or a building, but they must be able to detonate on their own and not be detected by the U.S. military. Most importantly, there must be enough firepower points on this line to allow for an ambush in the event of an offensive by the American forces.
These requirements have greatly increased the difficulty of deploying the second line of defense.
Fortunately, Zhou Yulong has time.
At least for a day, the US military will not act rashly.
Also busy are the gray-backed jackals.
As a tactical commander, the Grayback Jackal does not participate in combat operations, but provides tactical support to five squadrons. Because of the limited manpower, there was only one detachment assigned to the gray-backed jackal, less than twenty people. These FOS fighters are both communicators in K1 and special forces, and are proficient in all kinds of communication equipment and electronic equipment. After capturing the Empire State Building, the Grayback Jackal began to build a tactical command center.
Like Zhou Yulong's side, the equipment needed to build a tactical command center had already been delivered.
The thing is, it's definitely a hassle.
Not to mention anything else, there are thousands of surveillance devices on the Central Park defense line alone, even according to the ratio of ten to one, that is, one screen is set up for every ten monitors, and ten locations are monitored at the same time in an alternating display way, and more than 100 monitoring screens must be set up at the same time, and a monitoring station can only arrange a maximum of 20 monitoring screens, a total of six monitoring stations need to be set up, and six FOS fighters need to be arranged for monitoring.
If you include the monitoring equipment in other directions, a total of ten monitoring stations need to be set up.
Surveillance is just a "side hustle" of the tactical command center, the main task of which is to assist the five combat squadrons, providing them with tactical intelligence support.
To do this, the Grayback Jackal also had to set up a tactical communication center and a tactical command center.
It took two hours of busy work for the Grayback Jackal to set up the tactical communications center. It was in this way that Liu Wei spoke with General Copperfield after eliminating the first counterattack force of the American army. Over the next two hours, communications crews led by Grayback Jackals began setting up the surveillance system.
During this period, the gray-backed jackal has to do a more important thing: help Liu Wei figure out the specific situation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Although Liu Wei obtained enough information from Li Tingxuan before the operation began, and had an in-depth understanding of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, such as the bank's underground vault is more than 100 meters above the ground, surrounded by reinforced concrete walls up to 15 meters thick, and steel doors more than one meter thick, in order to enter the vault, not only the password of the vault caretaker but also the password of the senior management of the reserve bank. What's worse is that these two sets of passwords are generated by special algorithms, which are impossible to crack at all, and the Military Intelligence Bureau has not found out who has these two sets of passwords.
To put it simply, if Liu Wei wants to enter the underground vault of the Federal Reserve Bank, he can only use brute force.
On top of that, transporting the tens of thousands of tons of gold stored here is a hassle, even more so than going into underground vaults.
It is obviously impossible to rely on manpower to carry it, so I can only think of other ways.
These are all things that the gray-backed jackal must do, and they are also part of the tactical support.
