In order to completely burn those highly toxic solvents, the US military can be said to have gone to great lengths. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Among the bombs dropped, there were not only two different types of incendiary bombs, one capable of burning rapidly, and the other capable of continuous combustion to ensure that all the highly toxic solvents that had penetrated into the ground were burned. What's more, the U.S. military also dropped hundreds of very special bombs.

Not a bomb, to be precise, but an "oxygen bomb".

This special bomb is not filled with ** and incendiary agent, but with a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide. After the explosion on the ground, the hydrogen peroxide quickly analyzes the oxygen under the action of high temperature, so that the incendiary near the explosion point can be fully burned and will not be extinguished due to lack of oxygen. More importantly, the water in hydrogen peroxide evaporates at high temperatures, and then mixes with the materials produced after combustion, and finally condenses into water droplets, which return to the ground in the form of clouds, so as not to completely diffuse into the atmosphere, pollute the surrounding areas, and minimize the scope of influence of toxic substances.

Of course, among the more than 100 bombs, there are only a few dozen tons of hydrogen peroxide.

This amount of water is not enough to absorb all the toxic substances.

According to the calculations of the US military, within 10 minutes after the bomb was dropped, 15,000 tons of fresh water had to be dropped into the bombed area, so that the toxic substances produced by the combustion could return to the ground with the spilled fresh water before entering the high altitude. To this end, the US military mobilized more than 20 C-5B, more than 70 C-17C, and more than 100 C-130J transport planes to drop fresh water into the bombing area by dropping water bladders.

It must be admitted that the capabilities of the US military are indeed strong.

If it were another army, it would certainly not be able to drop 15,000 tons of fresh water in such a short time.

On the ground, the pre-entry Marines have cordoned off the entire bombing area, emptied nearby buildings, erected barricades in lower directions, and built a "defensive line" with sandbags to stop the flow of toxic wastewater into New York Bay.

If anything, the operation did not have much impact on civilians.

By the time the U.S. Marines arrived around the bombed area, civilians in nearby buildings had left, and most of them had arrived at the turret park, where they had been properly accommodated.

During the operation, the Marines did not encounter the enemy and established a defensive line very smoothly.

Only then did it no longer be a secret that the Federal Reserve Bank was ransacked, because with the fog it rained not only poisonous substances, but also more than a thousand tons of gold dust! Although the US authorities were able to recover some gold after the fact, it was nothing compared to the tens of thousands of tons of gold lost.

For the bombing campaign of the US military, the gray-backed jackal who commanded the retreat in place of Liu Wei was also very shocked.

Although before the start of the operation, the gray-backed jackal thought that it was very likely that the US military would prevent the solvent from flowing into New York Bay through bombing when it was unable to send ground troops, but he did not expect that the Yankees would use special incendiary bombs to burn all the solvents so simply.

Of course, this is not a bad thing.

At least the world knows that more than 10,000 tons of gold in the underground vaults of the US Federal Reserve Bank have been reimbursed.

More importantly, the bombing campaign of the US military provided the best cover for the evacuation.

When the first incendiary bomb exploded near the Federal Reserve Bank, the Grayback Jackal thought it was a good time for them to evacuate Manhattan.

Zhou Fen, Bao Liuqing and Zhou Yulong also thought of this.

Without the orders of the gray-backed jackal, the three of them immediately went into action.

According to Liu Wei's deployment, even if he evacuated, he would have to make a vigorous move, leaving a trace in the memory of the Yankees that could never be erased.

To do this, it is necessary to do something earth-shattering.

Before the bombing was over, Zhou Yulong took the lead in blowing up Rockefeller Center on Fifth Avenue.

Civilians trapped here have long since left and are flocking along East 46th Street to the riverbank outside the United Nations headquarters, and some are flocking in the opposite direction to Clinton Park on the east bank of the Hudson River. The entire Rockefeller Center was empty, and within a radius of several hundred meters, there were only a few remodeled fighters in charge of blasting.

Because it is done directly on the load-bearing pillars of the building, it does not take much **.

The blasting went very smoothly and very violently.

Even on Long Island, you can see that several skyscrapers in Rockefeller Center seem to have been pulled out of sight, disappearing from sight, and then rising up a cloud of smoke.

This situation was also filmed by an unmanned reconnaissance plane in the air.

Seeing this scene, Norris was stunned, Robert was also speechless, and the other US officers and soldiers and federal political axe officials were even more dumbfounded.

But the rubble of Rockefeller Center is just the beginning.

In the next few minutes, dozens of buildings in the vicinity, more than a dozen skyscrapers near the Empire State Building, and dozens of buildings on Broadway collapsed.

The drone only captured the footage, not the sound of the scene.

As you can imagine, it was absolutely earth-shattering.

It took several minutes for Norris to come to his senses.

Unfortunately, the raiders' sabotage did not end.

Like falling dominoes, the high-rise buildings south of Central Park collapsed one after another, forming a uniform line of rubble. Viewed from above, it is spectacular. It's just that those who are lucky enough to see this scene are not in the mood for this spectacular scene that has never been seen before and may be regarded as a non-existent. In their eyes, it is not the skyscrapers cast of reinforced concrete that have fallen, but the hegemonic image of the United States.

It was only then that Norris understood why those attackers were staying.

They didn't want to fight to the death with the U.S. military, but at the last minute, to make Manhattan completely finished, a ruin made of rubble.

Norris regretted a little, because the attackers had warned him before the attack began.

If anything, the attackers released civilians without causing serious civilian casualties, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

It's just that Norris has too many questions to consider.

Before he could recover from the shock, Robert asked a very sharp question: the attacker's goal was to completely destroy Manhattan, not just the buildings, after all, there are tens of thousands of buildings on Manhattan Island, and it will take a lot of time for the attackers to destroy them all; If the attackers had been prepared, they would have turned their guns on other targets that were more vulnerable and could cause serious damage.

There are no shortage of such goals in Manhattan.

For example, there are two natural gas distribution centers on the island, a fuel depot belonging to the Marine Corps, and hundreds of freighters docked next to the docks.

Robert's speculation was fully supported by intelligence agencies such as the CIA and the FBI.

The focus was on precisely those freighters in the port where the attack took place.

Each ship has hundreds, if not thousands, of tons of fuel on board, as well as several tankers laden with fuel oil and two LNG carriers loaded with LNG. If these ships were attacked, blown up by the attackers, or ignited by the attackers on the ships with fuel oil and LNG, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If an LNG cargo ship loaded with 200,000 cubic meters of liquefied natural gas explodes, the power is equivalent to tens of thousands of tons of TNT**, and in addition to completely destroying port facilities, it can also pose a deadly threat to buildings and people within a radius of several kilometers, resulting in unbearable casualties and losses.

In addition to annihilating the attackers as quickly as possible, it was imperative to capture the ships and get them out of New York.

This time, Robert didn't disappoint Norris.

While raising the question, Robert also proposed a clear plan of action: dispatch the 101st Air Assault Division and the Marine Corps to control and occupy the port, establish a defensive line on the perimeter of the port, and then sail the freighter out of the port by naval officers and sailors; It would be great if you could find the crew on the freighter.

The stakes are urgent, the attackers are already massively destroying buildings on the island and there is no time for Norris to think.

In giving the order, Norris made only one point explicitly: it was necessary to make sure that the attackers were not on the ships before they could be allowed to leave the port.

This is not a difficult task, after the capture of the freighter, the US military will definitely have to search thoroughly.

After receiving the president's authorization, Robert immediately gave the order.

The first sortie was not the air assault forces, but the special forces. Considering that the attackers were likely to control the freighter, and a rash attack would only force the attacker to blow up the freighter in advance, special forces had to board the freighter and eliminate the attacker before the air assault force captured the port.

Because of the limited size of the special forces, the occupation tasks had to be arranged in order of priority.

It is the tankers and LNG carriers loaded with LNG that need to be occupied first.

Among them is the LNG cargo ship loaded with specialty solvents.

This time, instead of entering from the sea or using loud helicopters, the Rangers were parachuted aboard the freighter.

All the special forces on combat missions took transport planes and parachuted from an altitude of 5,000 meters.

In order not to be detected by the attackers, the assault was scheduled two hours later, after the sun had set.

Explosions on the island continue to occur one after another, and skyscrapers have disappeared from the horizon and become piles of rubble.

On the river beaches on both sides of Manhattan Island, nearly two million civilians are waiting to be evacuated.

Including the civilians who remained in Turret Park and the northern part of the island, as well as those who have been evacuated, there are no more than 50,000 civilians still remaining in the city.

Admiral Robert did not let these two hours go by in vain, but let the 4th Infantry Division advance at full speed, advancing towards Central Park at any cost.

This was done not to defeat the attackers, but to hold them back and create an opportunity for the upcoming operation.

Apparently, Robert took this as a regular war.

Because the attackers were blowing up buildings on the island, and most of the civilians had already left the fighting area, the US military did not have much scruples during the attack, and took the initiative to replace the attackers, blowing up some buildings that were in the way, and even bombing those buildings that might have hidden the attackers.

It's just that, as before, the American army did not meet much stubborn resistance in the offensive.

As the sun sets, a new round of battles begins.

By this time, even Robert believed that the battle would end before the sun rose again.
