Defense, encirclement, and re-attack, within a distance of less than two kilometers outside the airport, although China and the United States have not invested many troops, they have already formed three fronts, with intricate personnel and staggered teeth. At this time, the tank regiment that came to reinforce the airfield was already less than eight kilometers away from the airfield, and as long as they advanced a little, the entire airfield fell into the range of their strike.

However, in the eastern sky, a whistling sound suddenly sounded, and a squadron of Sea Hawk-3 roared. The support of the attacking fleet finally arrived, and the planes and tanks were always one-sided. This armored regiment has lost the opportunity to move on.

Just when the US armored forces were stagnant, the battle situation around the Manhattan airport was obviously tilted, and the two sides, which had always been evenly matched, lost the fire support of armored vehicles and helicopters, and the US troops, which had been in a state of attack, became defensive units, and the lone wolf special operations detachment was overwhelmed; under the attack from both sides, the spirit of some US soldiers collapsed, and the entire US defense line was torn apart in an instant, and the US troops present became the targets of the lone wolf special operations detachment.

The U.S. armored forces, which were blocked by the fighters, had follow-up support, plus the fuel and ammunition consumption of the Chinese fighters returned. The U.S. armored forces mobilized again, but it was because of their pause that all the original opportunities were lost.

At this time, a large formation of more than 40 fighters arrived over Manhattan, and at this time, the entire operation was less than two hours away.

"It's over Airspace Five! The airspace weather is good and visibility is good. No anomalies! Electronic warfare aircraft have successfully carried out electronic suppression of the enemy! "The radar soldier inside the AWACS aircraft reported." The target has been discovered! Enemy armored units are spotted in the south-western direction of the target! ”

"Excellent! The Skylark Squadron is responsible for air vigilance; The Sparrowhawk squadron launched an attack on enemy armored targets in four batches; The Aquila Squadron conducts multiple batches of attacks on Manhattan's intended targets! Absolute safety at Manhattan Airport is a must! "Sitting in command in the AWACS aircraft is Gao Buping, the commander of the 3rd Air Regiment of the 10th Air Division.

After the Lone Wolf Special Combat Team successfully seized the airport, the former commander immediately ordered the 3rd Air Force Regiment, which had already been on standby, to immediately take to the air to support, and the war had reached this point, and there was almost nothing to hide.

What does it look like when a tank unit meets a fighter? Especially those fighters with the performance of strong fighters, the answer is one-sided slaughter.

In later generations, after the "Second Gulf War," the US military used helicopters to conduct combat on a large scale, and armed helicopters were more able to support ground operations because they could hover in the air. In addition, once the attack aircraft does not have air supremacy, it is simply a target aircraft, so. No matter what way you look at it. This kind of close-range attack support aircraft, once known as the "tank killer", has been forgotten by the world.

However, some people have forgotten the fact that during the first Gulf War, the US A-10 attack aircraft made great achievements. To know. Helicopter gunships are far inferior to attack aircraft in terms of speed, armor, battlefield survivability, and ammunition......

And China when designing the third generation jet fighter. Both emphasize ground attack capabilities. Because the high-performance air supremacy fighter is a Black Hawk fighter, the Hawk-3 is basically more focused on ground attack.

The third generation of the Warhawk is more to bridge the gap between the intruder fighter-bomber and the helicopter gunship, and because it can reduce the range, the bomb load can be greatly increased. It can be said that it is a light bomber at close range.

Everyone comes into this world for their own use, and weapons are no exception.

Whistling! The moment the U.S. armored forces discovered the plane in the sky, they knew their fate. Smoke grenades and vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft machine guns were used in all the anti-aircraft weapons that could be thought of, and perhaps there was still a hint of luck in their hearts, because they felt that they had not encountered the legendary Chinese helicopter.

However, the powerful ground firepower of the group immediately let them know what purgatory is.

The electronic suppression of the Chinese Air Force has made the US military's anti-aircraft missiles from experiments almost useless, because anti-aircraft missiles that can only be guided by infrared are not much of a threat to prepared aircraft at all. When one after another strangely shaped infrared-guided anti-aircraft missiles flew into the sky and followed the infrared decoy missiles fired by fighters, a nightmare came.

Explosion, or explosion; Screaming, screaming. The iron-armored lion who was still extremely powerful just now became a lamb to be slaughtered in the blink of an eye.

A round of attacks has just passed, and the anti-aircraft missile battalion in the test of the US armored forces has been reduced to ashes, and when the 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun bullet on the top of the tank hit the Warhawk-3, it left only white spots, or small holes, which were powerless to block the attack of Qiangqi, and the sound of the plane crossing the sky was like the grim smile of death at this time, waving the sickle in his hand, reaping the lives of these people.

"Quick! With artillery, destroy the airfield for me! "The commander of the U.S. armored forces knew that the destruction of their armored forces was inevitable. However, he is still working hard as a commander, hoping to complete his mission, and he is trying to gather several Sherman tanks around him, hoping to die together.

He overestimated his subordinates, and when a U.S. soldier chose to escape, just like the SARS virus in later generations, it immediately infected more U.S. soldiers, and no one paid attention to his words, everyone jumped out of the tank, and then fled in all directions.

In the sky, the Sabres of the US Army quickly came to support, but the high-level command center was paralyzed, and there were too few troops that could rush to it, and more than a dozen Sabres did not have any effect at all.

On the ground, the voice of the American commander was drowned out by the explosions and shouts, and in a fit of rage, he picked up his pistol and shot and killed the two soldiers who ran past him, hoping to stop the rout of the soldiers and hope that they would be able to resist with spirit. But he forgot that water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat. When he thought that he would immediately stop the rout with an iron-blooded policy, an American soldier told him a truth with his Gaoping dual-purpose machine gun.

Several years of war. It is still a one-sided war with more losses and fewer victories, which has put too much pressure on American soldiers. Now, everyone has entered the country, and the weak nerves have collapsed in an instant.

Death, falling, maybe the US commander has a lot of unwillingness in his heart, but all this is useless. During the nearly twenty-minute attack, the entire armored unit responsible for supporting the US army was dealt a devastating blow. However, those fleeing American soldiers were not pursued by the Sparrowhawk squadron.

Gao Buping believed that the memory of this battle would be deeply remembered in the minds of the fleeing American soldiers, if they returned to the unit. Became an American soldier again. When they saw the Chinese fighter again. They will forget to resist, and then run away again like crazy, and their escape can infect more people, which is the source of the virus.

There has always been a prescient Rahal. At this time, he was also in danger. At the same time as the Sparrowhawk squadron of the Chinese Air Force launched an attack on the American armored forces. The Skyhawk squadron launched a series of precision attacks on various military targets in Manhattan, and artillery positions, barracks, radar positions, TV towers, communication towers, and much more were damaged.

Rahar suddenly realized that China's general offensive was about to begin, and when he grabbed the phone and heard a busy tone in the microphone. He understood that everything was now under the control of the Chinese, and he had become a caged bird.

At this time, the whole of Manhattan was full of explosions, collapsed houses, and fires, and the residents of the city poured out, watching this scene in disbelief, some people had begun to organize their things and drive out of the city, and the whole street was in chaos. The whole scene of Manhattan is like the random bombing of Baghdad by the Americans in the first Gulf War......

"The first wave of air strikes has been successfully completed, and the targets of the second wave of strikes have been sent to various squadrons to prepare for the second wave of attacks!" After analyzing the targets one by one by one by the radars on the satellites and early warning planes, the targets of the second wave of attacks are immediately drawn up, and those that fail to achieve the intended results must be re-attacked. Although the first wave of attacks has completed 90% of the mission, the US military is still resisting, because of the electronic suppression, the radar station has also been destroyed, and the anti-aircraft missiles are randomly fired into the sky by them, hoping to cause some trouble to the Chinese Air Force, while some anti-aircraft guns are still firing blindly......

"Regiment commander, the first batch of parachute troops has arrived in the No. 4 airspace, and the front commander asks us to complete the attack as soon as possible and provide a good ground environment for the parachute troops!" The signal corps in the AWACS aircraft reported to Gao Buping.

"Let them know that the target area is done and reassure them!" Gao Buping said calmly: "Order the second wave of attacks of all squadrons to start, and give me the right time!" ”

With the cooperation of armored vehicles, the members of the lone wolf special operations team quickly cleared the remaining US resistance forces around the airport, and when the two teams converged, everyone had a happy smile on their faces.

"Look!" A member of the special operations team suddenly pointed to the sky behind Chen Fuliang and shouted. All of them turned back. A top parachute appeared in mid-air and was flying towards them. Behind them was the slowly rising sun, and the parachutes were gilded with a golden glow.

"Captain, the front commander told us that the 3rd Parachute Brigade has come to reinforce us, they have reached the predetermined airspace and are parachuting!" A signal soldier happily ran over from a distance and shouted loudly. All the people looked at the signal soldier with an ecstatic look, and they all pointed to the sky behind him and said, "We have seen ......"

The parachute unit manipulated the parachute in his hand and landed on the Manhattan airport under the guidance of the lone wolf special detachment, looking at the airport that was temporarily intact, the commander of the parachute unit immediately felt that he had a heavy responsibility, knowing that the lone wolf special detachment was able to defend the airport with a total of less than 60 people, and if he let the airport lose any bit, then he would almost become a sinner for the ages.

Along with the parachute troops, it was their equipment that was scattered, such as paratrooper assault vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles, and shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles. The paratroopers methodically opened the packages one by one, and some of the paratroopers began to assemble mobile parachutes, making preparations for forcing their way into Manhattan from the sky.

The capture of Manhattan Airport is equivalent to blowing the clarion call for the Chinese offensive, and the general offensive has also been carried out nearly an hour in advance.

The Manhattan air early warning plane, Gao Buping looked at the battlefield results report that had just been sent back. A smile finally appeared on his face and said, "Order the Skyhawk and Sparrowhawk squadrons to return to the ship immediately and replenish fuel and ammunition." Yunyan's squadron is on standby to support the ground offensive forces at any time. ”

Although the Yunyan squadron is equipped with all Black Hawk fighters, when they came to carry out the mission this time, they basically attached laser-guided air-to-surface missiles, and their mission this time was to carry out precision strikes on targets according to the laser sources launched by the army.

At the Manhattan airport, a mobile parachute was ready and began to slowly rise into the air, and some parachute troops were fully armed. Riding in paratrooper assault vehicles and armored vehicles towards Manhattan. The remaining parachute troops also prepared the entire airfield and waited for a large-scale landing.

Everyone is not stupid, and neither are Americans. While dispatching troops, Lahal analyzed the current situation from the photographs brought back by the reconnaissance plane. The key points are obvious. That's Manhattan Airport. They suddenly found that the Manhattan airport was still intact. And as you can see from the photos, those Chinese soldiers are cleaning the runway, obviously preparing their fighters for landing.

"Order the Ninth Missile Battalion to knock out this airfield for me!"

Lahore was ill-conceived about the whole situation. But this man has a very good memory, and he clearly remembers the housing locations of the various units. Lahore's orders soon kept the Ninth Regiment busy.

The Ninth Regiment is a US surface-to-surface missile regiment, and the Minuteman-1 missiles it is equipped with are regarded as "national treasures" by Americans. Although the Minuteman-1 missile has not played a big role on the battlefield, and even the US soldiers have scoffed at it, it is undeniable that the Minuteman-1 missile has part of the German V-2 bloodline, which is enough to attract the attention of the Chinese military.

"Zhuyuan has completed the revision, the missile is in good condition, and it can be launched!" Only twenty minutes elapsed between the receipt of the order and the launch of the first Minuteman-1 surface-to-surface missile. With the commander's order, one after another Minuteman-1 missiles flew out of here and flew directly towards the Manhattan airport, where their goal was to completely destroy the airport......

"Report, four UFOs were found, entering from the southwest direction, and are climbing at high speed, fast approaching subsonic speed!" The U.S. Army's Ninth Missile Regiment had just finished firing the missile when it was discovered by a Chinese early warning plane, and a radar soldier reported in a rapid tone.

"Find out what it is now!" Gao Buping's heart tightened slightly, and there must be no problems at this time.

"The target data has been sent back to the ground command center, and the ground command center is analyzing it!" The signal corps continued.

"All squadrons are on red alert, and UFOs have been found in the southwest direction...... Gao Buping hurriedly reported the enemy situation, and the two Black Hawk fighters that were diving, immediately pulled up the fighters, and all the Chinese fighters in the entire airspace were on alert. Surprisingly, however, no one was alerted in the cockpit of the plane.

"Report, the ground command center sent back a report, the UFO has been confirmed, it is a US Minuteman-1 missile, according to the target of the ballistic attack, it should be the Manhattan airport ......," the signal corpsman said quickly.

"What? Lock on to the missile now! No matter what you think, you must intercept it! He has always been calm-minded, and he couldn't help but be a little worried in his tone.

The premeditated surprise attack of the Chinese army caught the United States by surprise, and the entire United States was already in chaos, and the American army kept sending troops to support Manhattan, and some generals even proposed to take the risk of airdropping airborne troops to support Manhattan, which had become an isolated island, and absolutely could not let Manhattan fall into the hands of the Chinese.

What the Americans are discussing, the Chinese do not know for the time being, but now they are far more nervous than the Americans, and the target of the four Minuteman-1 missiles has raised the hearts of the entire front finger. Gao Buping was even more remorseful, knowing that the attack distance of the Minuteman-1 missile was only about a few hundred kilometers, that is to say, it was within the range of his own air formation at any time, and now such a situation has appeared.

The refueled Sky Eagle squadron immediately carried out a devastating blow to the perpetrators, and although the troops of the 9th Missile Regiment of the US Army thought of the counterattack of the Chinese, they did not think of it so quickly, and did not make much resistance at all, and were ruthlessly ravaged by the angry Chinese fighters......

"How's it going?" Every second that passed, Gao Buping's mood became heavy, and he asked again and again. The sound of keyboards tapping everywhere in the AWACS aircraft was high, and everyone's spirit was highly concentrated. Hear Gao Buping's question. An operational staff officer said: "The missile has been jammed, but the effect is not good!" This missile is inertial guidance, which makes it difficult to jam effectively. ”

Since it was on the front line, there were no anti-missile systems or anti-aircraft guns deployed here at all, and now the task of intercepting missiles rested on the heads of the entire air formation. And more importantly, the only thing that the entire air formation can do is electronic jamming and spreading aluminum foil to jam the opponent's missiles......

The Minuteman-1 missile is not only a partial bloodline of the German V-2, but also condenses the essence of the United States in the guidance method, and the fixed-point electronic suppression and electronic deception of the air formation cannot achieve any effect at all. When the Minuteman-1 missile entered the final target, everyone felt that heaven had fallen into hell.

The paratroopers guarding the area around Manhattan Airport looked at the roaring Militia-1, glowing with a scorching light, and everyone's hearts were like knives. How they wish they could intercept it. Even trade their own lives for its attacks. But. Those are just fantasies......

Explosions, flames, and smoke filled the air, two or three soldiers were blown to pieces, and several soldiers were blown into the air. Everyone present looked at this scene with surprised eyes, and four Minuteman-1 missiles whizzed over the airport. Pounced directly into the departure hall and the empty lawn not far away...... In a flash. The depressed mood of all the Chinese soldiers on the entire front suddenly broke out. Many people threw away their hats in excitement, and some people might blame them for being so insensitive to watching their comrades die.

But when you know that the missiles that just sneaked up on you just missed the runway and hit the departure hall. You will be happy with this luck and forget about the death of your comrades for a while. Any missile has a landing point error, even China's most mature missile can not escape this fate, maybe it is just electronic suppression that has caused it to produce errors, or maybe it is its own reasons, but all this is no longer important, the important thing is that China's retaliation has begun.

"Except for the Yunyan squadron, the other squadrons attack freely, and they can't give the American army any chance to counterattack!" Gao Buping, who had just escaped the catastrophe, happily slapped himself on the thigh in the early warning plane, and his face immediately became fierce.

Outside Manhattan, paratroopers in paratroopers and armored infantry fighting vehicles appeared in front of it. Today, Manhattan has become a bunch of bunkers armed to the teeth. Rahal was unwilling to accept his defeat, although he suffered a fierce blow from the Chinese Air Force, and the airport was successfully taken by the Chinese. However, instead of fleeing, Rahal ordered all American troops outside the city to retreat into Manhattan and put up a stubborn resistance.

"The U.S. forces are very well defended, they are building fortifications non-stop, no armored units have been found, and it is possible that they have hidden the last remaining Sherman tanks and some infantry fighting vehicles in the city. If we force our attacks, these things will cause us a lot of damage. Are we delaying the attack? The report of the top soldier made the captain hesitate a little, although the brigade he led was a battalion, but the American troops guarding Manhattan were not a battalion or a regiment.

The intelligence made the captain very hesitant, if he didn't attack, he would violate the order, and if he attacked, he would commit suicide, and at this time, the order of the front finger was also issued in front of him. The commander demanded that the parachute brigade stop the assault on Manhattan and that they wait for reinforcements to cooperate with the attack. This made the captain finally breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, the Manhattan airport welcomed the first batch of troops to land, and when the first Kunpeng from Hawaii successfully landed at the Manhattan airport, everyone's hearts finally relaxed a little. According to the plan prepared in advance, the first Kunpeng was transported from an anti-aircraft missile company, and when the anti-aircraft missile company successfully sailed out of the rear cabin of the plane, all the people present cheered.

Large transport planes descended from the sky, chariots drove out of the cabin, soldiers stepped off the planes, and the Manhattan airport became the busiest airport in the world in the early morning, and the Chinese told the world in the unbelievable that the plane landing could be played like this, and in this night, the entire airport took off more than 180 sorties within 14 hours, relying on two runways, and transported a class A division plus an anti-aircraft missile battalion to Manhattan airport in formation.

Time is money, time is victory. The Chinese Air Force embarrassed the countries of the world with its crazy speed, and it is no wonder that after the incident, British critics said: "The Chinese can always break the Guinness Book of Records!" They are telling us the limits of humanity! ”

Manhattan, the Chinese did not give the American army much of a chance to prepare. The troops who landed were led by ten Apocalypse tanks with various loads reduced, and under the precision of the fighters, they savagely rushed into Manhattan. This originally quiet and elegant town has become a battlefield and a grave for soldiers.

A Chinese soldier had just killed two American soldiers when he was shot through the neck by a sniper of the American army hiding in the distance, and the sniper did not succeed in escaping, because the Apocalypse tank accompanied by the infantry attack immediately gave him a shell, and did not even leave him with the slag.

Such scenes abound throughout Manhattan, and Chinese soldiers were amazed at the tenacity of the American military. In their opinion, the American army should be a character who will be defeated in a fight.

Street fighting in Manhattan. The Chinese army has fully absorbed the experience of previous street battles, and on the one hand, it has adopted the method of searching for a gradual attack by remote-controlled drones, and on the other hand, it has allowed parachute troops to use mobile umbrellas to break into the city, pulling the entire defense line of the US army into pieces. And according to their laser guidance. The Yunyan squadron in the air is even more accurate. Threatening firing points and ammunition depots were hit one after another. And importantly, their breakthrough turned the entire defense of Manhattan into a melee,

For the US military. The most desperate thing is the dense group of planes in the air, and countless scattered flowers continue to fall. The U.S. military, which was miserably suppressed on the ground, could only watch more and more Chinese troops.

At the underground command post in Manhattan, an officer quickly ran to Rahal, who had been frowning, and said: "General, let's go, the city is full of Chinese soldiers, and it's too late to leave......

Before he finished speaking, he heard a "bang", and everyone present turned their heads to look at this side, and the officer looked at the small pistol in Lahal's hand with disbelief in his eyes, and said with some reluctance: "For ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he heard Rahal's cold and merciless voice say: "Order all troops to hold their positions and organize a counteroffensive, and anyone who escapes or retreats appears, or shakes the morale of the army!" Enforce battlefield discipline at all! Rahal's words shook the audience to silence, and some of the clever people immediately turned around and began to busy, while the unresponsive ones, though in a mess, could only follow the trend.

Lahal is well aware of the current situation and there is no way back for him. Neither the capital nor any other place could be contacted, and Rahal had already sensed that there was not only one place where the Chinese were attacking, the situation in Manhattan, he had already rehearsed a series of situations that happened here countless times in the sand table or in his mind, although he had thought of many ways. However, he missed the most important link, that is, the military quality and fighting spirit of the soldiers of the two countries, as well as the weapons and equipment......

Running away is a contagious virus, and surrendering is also a contagious virus. When a person who dares to eat crabs appears, then a second person appears, and in his heart he comforts himself that I still have a companion. And the third and fourth places will also appear in groups.

Perhaps in the later generations of the Chinese War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, so many traitors appeared also infectious viruses, in their opinion, when most people become bad people, then good people will be bad people.

The speed of surrender of the American army was very fast, and when the prisoners appeared on a large scale, it made the attacking Chinese troops a little uncomfortable, and the brutal bloody battle just now became so easy; The enemy, who was the enemy just now, now raised his hands, and although you have a bunch of anger, you can't vent it.

Rahal also did not expect that in less than five hours, Manhattan would fall into the hands of the Chinese. He did not surrender, nor did he embarrass most of the people in the entire underground command room, and when he heard that the Chinese soldiers were attacking this place, he ordered his guards to kill some staff officers who knew important secrets, and ordered some inconsequential people to go out and surrender to the Chinese, delaying the speed of the Chinese soldiers rushing in. He succeeded, and by the time the Chinese soldiers rushed in, he had destroyed all the information and equipment, and then pointed his pistol at his temple and pulled the trigger.

However, when everything was clear, when Eisenhower rushed to Washington, which was now in ruins, to form a new government, the gold hidden in Manhattan was gone. (To be continued......)
