Chapter 218: Hurrying

readx;

Stark was still buzzing in his head when he got up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Info looked back at the ground engulfed in flames, and the colonel froze.

What's going on?

The colonel simply couldn't figure it out and didn't have time to figure it out.

When he was hit by the butt of his rifle, the colonel was still a little dazed and immediately lost consciousness.

"Who is this guy?" Liu Wei looked at Zhou Yulong, who came over. The power of the incendiary bomb was very great, and it scorched the military uniform on Zhou Yulong's back. As for the human skin mask on his head, it was completely deformed, making him look like a patient from a leprosy village.

"I don't know." Zhou Yulong pulled off the human skin mask and handed it to a remodeled warrior. "The Navy SEALs, I almost got him."

"He'll take care of it, right?"

Zhou Yulong smiled and said, "The Yankees are really good, what should I do now?" ā€

Liu Wei let out a long breath and looked at the flames.

Obviously, the purpose of the U.S. military is not to completely destroy the reform center, but to prevent them from attacking the center, which is only self-defeating and kills all the scientific research personnel inside.

At this time, the gray-backed jackal rushed over.

"What's going on?"

"The Yankees helped a lot." Liu Wei turned around and said to Zhou Yulong, "You and the old jackal are responsible for the retreat, and when the fire is a little smaller, I will take a few people in to have a look." ā€

"Go in?"

Liu Wei nodded and said, "Since the Yankees are willing to help, we can't be polite." The renovation center is large enough, and there must be a lot of things in it that haven't been burned, maybe you can get some valuable materials. ā€

The gray-backed jackal sighed and made no objections.

"Tell the old wolf to try to hold off the U.S. troops and buy me some time. Let Lao Zhou and Sister Bao withdraw gradually, leave the marines in the south alone, and retreat as planned. Liu Wei said as he untied some of his weapons and ammunition. I will hurry up and try to get to the evacuation site within half an hour. In my absence, the old jackal has full authority. If you can't wait for us, we will meet at the location arranged by the old canon in two days. ā€

The gray-backed jackal nodded, indicating that he understood what Liu Wei meant.

"What about this guy?" Zhou Yulong kicked Colonel Stark, who was lying on the ground.

"Take him with you." Liu Wei replied very simply, "He is the only experimental result of the 'Future Soldier', at least for now, it seems that there will be no other survivors." ā€

"It's a bit of a hassle." The Greyback Jackal smiled and shook his head, "He's not in our plans. ā€

"There's always a solution, isn't it?"

"Don't worry, I'll figure it out."

Liu Wei glanced at the gray-backed jackal and Zhou Yulong, and said, "Remember, if you can't wait for us, you have to return to Las Vegas immediately and act according to the plan." In any case, now is not the time to leave the United States, and the Yankees must be convinced that we have been in Las Vegas. ā€

"Understood, I know how to arrange it."

Liu Wei didn't say anything more, called Takeuchi Qinyin and the others, and walked towards the flames that were gradually extinguishing.

At this time, over Central Park, an unmanned reconnaissance plane of the US military was circling back and forth.

The images from the bombing have long been taken and are being analysed.

Although the interval between the second blasting and the bombing was only a few seconds, the US unmanned reconnaissance plane filmed the whole process.

The result was unexpected, neither Norris nor Robert.

The attackers carried out a second blast so quickly, and the blasting point almost coincided with the first. Although the results of the analysis are not yet available, both Norris and Robert know that the bombing has destroyed the center rather than saving it.

It wasn't Norris who came to his senses first, it was Robert.

Immediately after the bombing, Robert sent an unmanned reconnaissance plane to focus on monitoring Central Park. Subsequently, Robott personally called Norris and demanded that the Federal Reserve Bank be bombed immediately. The reason is simple: the attackers already knew that the US military had used special incendiary bombs, and it would soon have occurred to them that these bombs were not used against the attackers, but to burn the highly toxic solution that was being discharged into the New York Bay. In other words, it is very likely that the attackers will speed up the discharge of the highly toxic solution, so that the US military will not be able to prevent the disaster in time.

Robert's judgment was fully supported by the military.

Things have developed to this point, and Norris has no choice but to take the admiral's advice and order the bombers that have long been on standby to drop bombs immediately.

The order was given, only the bombers needed time to get into the bombing zone.

The operation has reached its final stage, and time has become invaluable.

North of Central Park, with coordinated National Guard troops marching in, the 4th Infantry Division was finally freed from the tedious task of rescuing civilians and focused on ground advances.

When it came to the second line of defense, the US military was not so lucky.

According to Liu Wei's orders, Mobei Wolf led more than a dozen re-transformation fighters to fight a small scale blocking battle on the second line of defense, using bombs buried in drainage pipes under the road to blow up an M1A2 main battle tank into the sky, and then using bazookas to kill three M2 infantry fighting vehicles. By the time U.S. air support arrived, the snipers in ambush had already killed more than 30 U.S. officers and soldiers, including five officers.

Because they had already penetrated deep into Manhattan, there were still some civilians in the building who did not escape in time, so the US military threw a mouse trap when carrying out air strikes and failed to let go.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mobei Wolf used a small-caliber machine gun to shoot down a helicopter gunship shuttling in the middle of the building.

In just a few minutes, the US military lost the equivalent of a platoon's main battle equipment, hundreds of officers and men were killed or wounded, and the assault operation of the Fourth Infantry Division suffered a serious setback.

What annoyed the U.S. military even more was that at the end of the battle, there was still no direct encounter with the enemy.

With the enemy's situation unclear, the US military had no choice but to temporarily suspend its offensive and adjust its operational deployment.

This was not an order from Robert, but from the commander of the front. In the tradition of the U.S. military, there is no such thing as launching an offensive regardless of casualties. What's more, there is enough intelligence that there are at least a thousand more attackers on Manhattan Island, perhaps more than 2,000. After drastically shrinking the defensive line, the attackers had enough forces to hold off the American troops, or even thwart the American attack.

A desperate attack can only inflict greater casualties.

As soon as the main forces of the 4th Infantry Division stopped advancing, the front commander sent scouts and asked Admiral Robert to send more special forces.

Special forces are not suitable for large-scale combat operations, but they are well suited for forward reconnaissance missions.

At this time, the Delta Special Forces that captured the LaGuardia airfield had completed their mission and were ready to go to the battlefield again, and Robert also transferred a team of Ranger Special Forces troops affiliated to the Air Force, so there were enough troops to meet the requirements of the front-line commanders.

It's just that after the arrival of the special forces, the situation that arose completely exceeded the expectations of the US commander.

The attackers have already left, leaving not even a trace.

If it weren't for the burning tanks and the bodies of officers and soldiers in body bags, no one would have believed that a very fierce battle had just taken place.

The scouts were not confronted by the attackers, but by hundreds of thousands of civilians pouring into the streets and heading north.

To get to the bottom of the situation, the front commander had the scouts bring back a few civilians.

Only then did he figure out that the attackers did not show up at all, but used a loudspeaker placed in the building to tell the trapped civilians to leave the building and go north to join the American army.

That is, the attackers released these civilians on their own initiative!

Soon, another group of scouts brought back something: a loudspeaker and tape recorder left in the building.

There is no doubt that the attackers had been prepared for a long time, recording the release of the civilians and timing the devices to work automatically.

The question is, why would the attackers do this?

You know, in their hands, civilians are the best shield. As long as the civilians are controlled, the U.S. military will have some scruples when attacking.

The unconditional release of civilians has no benefit other than to delay the advance of the US military.

Not to mention the front-line commanders of the US army, even Robert believes that the attackers have other plans.

What's more, this is happening not only north of Manhattan, but in other directions, large numbers of civilians are leaving the besieged buildings and are flocking to the East River and Hudson River East Bank Beach.

As hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of civilians scrambling to escape Manhattan appear on the river beaches, the U.S. military faces an even more serious challenge: how to save and help these panicked civilians?

Civilians are civilians, not armies.

Although the U.S. military has launched a military operation to find ways to help civilians get out of Manhattan, for those who have been trapped for a week, getting out of Manhattan as soon as possible is the primary problem. In the absence of organization, hundreds of thousands, millions of civilians gathered on the river beaches, and some even jumped into the East River and the Hudson River desperately, trying to swim to the other side, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

If these civilians are not settled, a large number of civilians will die in the crowding and pushing.

Robb had no choice but to turn his attention to saving civilians.

Fortunately, the US military is not short of transports. In addition to landing craft deployed by the Navy and Marine Corps, there are also helicopters for the Army and Air Force.

What the U.S. military lacks is a sufficient number of combat troops, or the military force to maintain order.

In any case, the rescue operation must be carried out immediately and without delay.

Just as Admiral Robert ordered all troops, except the Fourth Infantry Division, to dispatch all transport forces to help civilians get out of Manhattan, the first incendiary bomb exploded over the drain west of the Federal Reserve Bank, and over the next five minutes, thousands of bombs fell.

The bombing was very violent, and it was the largest operation of the American army.

Unfortunately, the bombing targets were not elusive attackers, but highly toxic solvents that were about to flow into New York Bay, causing a serious ecological disaster.
