It must be admitted that the emergency mechanism of the United States is very well in place, and it took less than half an hour before and after the first National Guard was dispatched. www.biquge.info It's a pity that by the time the National Guard arrived, Manhattan Island had been cut off from the outside world, and across the East River and the Hudson River, the U.S. military could only sigh.

At this time, the battle on Manhattan Island had just begun.

After completing the blockade operation, the squadron commanded by Mobei Wolf divided into five routes, plus the squadron directly commanded by Liu Wei, attacked nine police stations in Manhattan at the same time.

The battle was fierce, but not very difficult.

Tomorrow is Easter, and most of the police are like Nicholas, who leave work early and go home, and the main ones left behind are the patrol and traffic police. Compared with plainclothes police detectives, the ability of patrol police and traffic police is obviously low, and they do not have suitable weapons and equipment. In the face of FOS fighters armed to the teeth, it is basically negligible.

It's just that as an island of two million inhabitants, the number of police far outnumber the FOS Corps.

During the assault on the Port Authority, the FOS fighters under the command of Mobei Wolf were in trouble, because there was a SWAT, or anti-terrorist SWAT unit, which dealt with special situations. Although the scale of this SWAT is not large, only more than 30 people, the combat effectiveness of these people is not bad.

As soon as the battle began, the FOS fighters realized that there were quite a few "professionals" on the other side.

It's no surprise that some of the SWAT members are veterans, and maybe a few retired special forces from the Delta or the Green Berets. Because SWAT's main mission is to respond to terrorist attacks and deal with emergencies in the city, its members are very skilled in urban warfare and are proficient in various tactics. Compared to the K1 members of the FOS Legion, they are not much worse in urban warfare.

When Mobei Wolf arrived with a small team, the FOS fighters had already stormed the police station.

If it were Zhou Yulong, he would spend several hours eliminating the SWAT entrenched in the police station one by one. But Mobei Wolf doesn't have so much effort, and he doesn't have the idleness.

After determining that the opponent was a SWAT force, Mobei Wolf decided to take a litter.

After letting the two squads of FOS fighters control the commanding heights on the perimeter and block all the streets near the police station, Mobei Wolf and three remodeled fighters rushed in with explosive equipment. Although SWAT is very strong in combat, it is still a big step behind the FOS fighters. Compared to the FOS fighters, who received the rework, the gap is even more pronounced and is not on the same line at all.

Fifteen minutes later, the port authority was blown up into the sky.

Mobei Wolf and four others used about 200 kilograms of plastic** to blast several buildings where SWAT was entrenched, and buried the opponent with hundreds of tons of reinforced concrete.

This trick has to be said to be ruthless enough.

Mobei Wolf did this, not because of murderous intent, but because the port authority had an ammunition depot and stored a lot of guns. If you use conventional tactics to deal with SWAT, in addition to considering the casualties you may endure, it will take a lot of time. Time is more precious than anything else for a surprise attack.

In order to complete all the tasks, it is impossible for the Mobei Wolf to delay too much time here.

At the time of the explosion, the U.S. National Guard had arrived in Wallabot Bay and was setting up a forward command on the dock north of the Navy Yard.

The explosion came violently and shockingly.

The rising fireball, which lit up half of Manhattan Island, should also be in the eyes of Brigadier Copperfield.

As the commander of the 77th Brigade of the National Guard, Brigadier General Copperfield was a "veteran" with combat experience. Before returning home, he spent three years in Iraq and then five years in Afghanistan, during which time he participated in more than a dozen large-scale military operations and was awarded several medals.

If it weren't for his old age and a serious illness six months ago, Copperfield would still be in Afghanistan at this time.

Upon receiving the news, the brigadier general immediately set off with a battalion and rushed to the naval shipyard. Because the bridge had been blown up, it was no longer possible to get to Manhattan Island, so after arriving, Copperfield had his men set up a cordon and set up a front-line command on the pier facing Manhattan Island.

At the time of the explosion, he was organizing officers and men to open up a helicopter take-off and landing field.

It cannot be accessed by land, but it can also be accessed by air.

Although he had not yet figured out what was happening, or even who the enemy was and how many he was, Copperfield knew that he had to launch a surprise attack as soon as possible, and that he must not wait for the enemy to gain a foothold. Only by landing on Manhattan Island in time can the enemy be quickly destroyed.

You know, the two million people on the island are hostages at the hands of terrorists!

Seeing the rising fireball, Copperfield suddenly calmed down.

Capable of blowing up all the bridges and blocking all the tunnels in a matter of minutes, the terrorists who attacked Manhattan were certainly not far behind, and they were very well prepared. The explosion took place at the port authority and was so powerful that the terrorists were definitely clearing the island of police.

That is, the terrorists have enough combat power.

Will it be dangerous to raid Manhattan Island in such a situation?

Before Copperfield could figure it out, there was another violent explosion in the north, much more violently than the one on the Port Authority's side.

The explosion occurred at the East 34th Street heliport, next to the United Nations headquarters, where United Nations security forces are stationed and a New York Police Department SWAT unit.

It was the FOS squadron commanded by Liu Wei who fought here.

Unlike the situation encountered by the Mobei Wolves, the helicopter airfield was relatively open, and the SWAT troops deployed in time to occupy several commanding heights in the airfield, making it difficult for the FOS Corps to get close. What's worse is that there is an arsenal here, which stores a lot of guns and ammunition, and even some heavy weapons.

In the first assault, the Humvee at the head was hit by an AT-4 rocket.

Although the three FOS fighters in the car reacted very quickly and jumped off before the rocket hit the Humvee, the Humvee that followed them picked up the three in time and left the range of the rocket, and the three were only slightly injured in the explosion, but SWAT's counterattack forced Liu Wei to find other offensive tactics.

After letting three squads of FOS fighters surround the airport and contain SWAT, Liu Wei entered the sewers of the airport with several remodeled fighters. Like the method adopted by Mobei Wolf, Liu Wei ended the battle with a few hundred kilograms**. It's just that the explosion failed to destroy all the SWAT, and Liu Wei had to take the FOS fighters and take advantage of the chaos caused by the explosion to cross the fire blockade line of the SWAT.

Closing the distance, SWAT has no way to resist the FOS legion.

This explosion once again reminded Brigadier General Copperfield that the attackers were definitely prepared and had a strong fighting ability, and would not give the US military a chance to fight less.

No sooner had the fireball of the second explosion cleared than Copperfield received a call from Norris from the White House.

Although the National Guard deployed near New York had been deployed, and two more units were deployed on the west bank of the Hudson River, one each in the Bronx and Staten Island, all four National Guard units were commanded by majors, and Copperfield was the supreme commander at the front.

If the president doesn't look for him, who is he looking for?

"The specifics are unclear and we can't enter Manhattan ...... for the time being"

"No matter what method you use, you must enter Manhattan immediately and eliminate the terrorists, and you must not let the terrorists take two million Americans hostage!"

"President, we're trying to figure it out, but ......"

"General, you should know that your time is running out. Terrorists are taking control of the entire island, and if we don't attack in time, we will face the biggest catastrophe ever. ”

"Yes, President."

"This is my direct order, enter Manhattan Island immediately and eliminate the terrorists!"

"Yes!"

As he put down the phone, Copperfield heard the roar of a helicopter.

Eight helicopters flew in from the northeast, starting with two AH-64A, followed by two CH-47s, followed by four MH-60s. They are all National Guard helicopters, because according to U.S. law, the regular army cannot carry out combat missions on the soil without congressional permission.

No matter how fast Congress is effective, it is impossible to immediately authorize the participation of the regular army in combat operations.

The AH-64A did not land, neither did the two CH-47s with commandos on board, only four MH-60s flew over and landed on the site that had just been carved out.

Copperfield did not go into battle, this kind of assault mission, not suitable for generals who are almost sixty years old.

"The president has given the order, let's immediately assault Manhattan Island." Major Dennis, a battalion commander of the 77th Brigade and a seasoned veteran who had commanded troops on combat missions in several Iraqi cities, was called over. "The problem is that we don't know the purpose of the terrorists or the distribution of terrorists on the island."

"Is there a more detailed order?"

"No, I'm afraid no one knows what those guys want to do right now." Copperfield smiled wryly and said, "Your mission is to land on Manhattan Island, build a bridgehead, and prepare for the follow-up troops. ”

"In that case, it's best to find an open area suitable for defense."

"Turret Park." Copperfield pointed on the map, "The helicopter gunship will provide you with cover, and after landing, set up a skirmish line, don't attack for the time being, I will provide you with a battalion as soon as possible." ”

"And the distribution of terrorists."

"Unmanned reconnaissance aircraft will arrive soon, but don't get your hopes up. There are two million inhabitants on the island, and it is impossible for us to identify terrorists from so many people. ”

Dennis sighed, and Copperfield didn't panic.

In such extreme cases, any advanced technological means become an ornament.

"Anyway, let's take the first step." Copperfield glanced at his men and said, "Any more requests?" ”

Dennis shook his head, he had a lot to ask, but it was useless to ask, because Copperfield couldn't have met his request.

Two minutes later, Dennis boarded the MH-60 with a company of infantry.

Of the more than 100 troops, about one-third had participated in combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, and only two-thirds of the remaining two-thirds were recruits recruited only last year.

Dennis didn't think much of it because someone had to do it.
