Chapter 988: Beachfront Landing

"In thirty minutes, Xia's troops will land in Alaska." As soon as Qi Lin and Sophia returned to the cloning factory, Ella hurriedly pulled them to the screen.

The screen shows a low-altitude reconnaissance drone capturing a fleet of three guided missile destroyers and eight landing ships that look like a rectangular box with giant air cushions mounted on the bottom.

"This is the Russian Federation's 'Ivanov-class' air-cushion landing ship, its carrying capacity is more than ten times that of conventional air-cushion landing craft, and one 'Ivanov-class' can carry 400 heavily armed soldiers, fifteen tanks or thirty infantry fighting vehicles, that is, the enemy we need to face is about 3,000 people." Ella said.

"So how many people can we mobilize now?"

"Less than five hundred, and at least two hundred people need to be assigned to maintain order within the base, and only three hundred people can be dispatched." Although this number is indeed not much, but being able to pull these five hundred people to his side in just ten minutes, I have to say that Ella and Qin are still quite capable.

"Fort Yukon is located in the heart of Alaska, and it will take some time before they land here, and there will definitely be more troops willing to resist by then." Qi Lin said that if there were only these people available, even with the help of the base's defensive measures, it would definitely not be Xia's opponent.

"No, we can't wait until that time, when the Fort Yukon base is built, the organization has also established an automated defense line on the coastline, if we can keep this automated defense line, we can buy more time, and by the way, we can also weaken some of Xia's strength." Ella said - just then, the muzzle of a missile destroyer suddenly turned, and a white light flashed on the screen, and then the drone's signal was cut off.

"Automated defense? Why didn't we see it when we landed? Qi Lin was a little puzzled.

"This line of defense is usually hidden under the reef and the beach, and it is difficult for the outside world to detect it without being activated, as for why you didn't trigger it at the time......

"That's because Cooper helped you block out the induction system of the defense, which was the last thing Cooper did before he was restricted." Qin took over the conversation and said to Qi Lin.

"If it's an automated line of defense, why send people to garrison it? Isn't it possible to operate directly remotely? ”

"As one of the founders of the organization, Xia must also know about the existence of this line of defense, and he will not just let the fleet dock directly, but will first send a small group of elite troops to escort hackers proficient in electronic warfare ashore first, and then paralyze the control system of the defense line through intrusion - just like Cooper did at the beginning." Ella explained.

"Okay, there are still a few helicopters that will work, I'll take someone there." Qi Lin sighed and said, he still knew too little about the organization and the entire base, and staying here couldn't help much...... It's also ridiculous to say, Qi Lin, who was already tired of war, is now the most suitable place for him, but there is still only the battlefield.

"Helicopters that are currently parked inside the base and have not been destroyed in the chaos ......" Ella tapped a few times on her keyboard and looked up with a somewhat snarky smile, "There are only two...... That is, you can only bring a maximum of twenty people. ”

"I'll go with you." At this time, Ayakui suddenly "floated" over and said to Qi Lin.

"No, you stay, the current situation in the base is not stable, and this thing can only be manipulated by you, and you can play a greater role by staying here than any of us."

Qi Lin stretched out his hand and rubbed Ayakui's little head vigorously, and then said to Ella: "Pick twenty people for me, it doesn't have to be the strongest, but it must be reliable enough, in addition, Lucas should go with me." ”

"I don't have an opinion, anyway, this life is given by you, and I will do whatever you ask me to do." Lucas said indifferently.

"If it's to be trusted, it's just me and these people in the Rikuzen Shigena Army, they have defected with us since the beginning of the chaos, and there is absolutely no problem with loyalty...... The pilots of the Army Aviation Force have boarded the plane, and they are waiting for you on the helicopter lift in the inner city of the base...... Good luck。 ”

……

……

According to the information that Ella and the others have, Xia has formed a force called the "Alpha Team" with the help of the mastermind, of course, this force has nothing to do with the eponymous special forces of the old Russian Federation, which is an elite force composed entirely of high-level evolutionaries, top-level modders, and cyborgs - in no exaggeration, this Alpha Team gathers almost all the strongest individuals in the organization.

And the advance force that escorted the hackers to land first this time is likely to be a member of the Alpha team.

Qi Lin sat on the outside of the helicopter, constantly patrolling the long coastline with the telescope in his hand - the helicopter was only less than fifty meters in the air, and the dense fog rising from the sea surface allowed Qi Lin to only vaguely see the outlines of those ships, and correspondingly, the missiles on the destroyer could not lock the helicopter onto the target.

Both sides are on the verge of each other's attack range, but whoever gets one step closer will be on the verge of a fight.

The effective strike range of automated defense facilities located on the coastline of Alaska is twenty-five kilometers, but the organized fleet has an electronic jamming barrier, and only when the fleet is close to within five kilometers, the radars of the defense facilities can catch their tracks.

"Group B, did you find anything over there?" Qi Lin pressed the earphones stuffed in his ears and asked the other helicopter.

"No, the visibility on the sea is very poor, and we have used thermal imaging equipment to look at it, but we have not found any dinghy near the shore." Lucas's voice came from the other end of the headphones.

"The other side will not necessarily use vehicles, don't put all your attention on the surface of the sea."

"You mean...... For this five-kilometer distance, would they probably choose to dive and swim over? Lucas was stunned for a moment.

"If it were me, I would have swam over to make it more discreet, and even if we were using thermal imaging equipment, it would be difficult to spot them before they surfaced...... Wait, the goal has appeared, repeated, the goal has appeared! At landing site 14, they did swim over, a ...... Two...... Three...... Eleven people in total! ”

In Qi Lin's telescope lens, eleven people in black diving suits sneakily climbed onto the beach, and one of them disappeared from Qi Lin's field of vision as soon as he took off his diving suit, and even thermal imaging failed to capture his whereabouts.

"Note that one of the other party has the ability to appear to be invisible, and thermal imaging is not effective against it."
