Chapter 182: Acts of War (II)
“…… We know from people who have just been evacuated from southern Washington that the ACA's missiles, attack aircraft and paratrooper units easily occupied Washington with little resistance, and while this information has not yet been fully confirmed, there is a wealth of facts that suggest that the Allies are so-called ' The impregnable East Coast defenses didn't even show basic resistance in the face of the ACA's surprise attack, and here is Star TV's frontline broadcast from the small town of Eden, North Carolina, and we will continue to monitor the situation on the battlefield! ”

For the lack of shore-based air defense network, the alliance is not without relevant responses, and has sent four early warning aircraft for shore-based air defense, however, the ACA directly used the latest stealth ship-to-air missiles carried on board the "Neptune" to shoot down the shore-based air defense early warning aircraft in the first place.
Just after the AWACS aircraft was shot down, ACA agents lurking in Baltimore, Portsmouth and Chesapeake Bay launched an attack on the Allied air defense equipment from the ground, and the secret service that was originally responsible for preventing TF became the umbrella of the ACATF to infiltrate these areas, and a large number of ACA commandos with the legal status of the League almost simultaneously attacked the air defense facilities, although not all of them were successful, but it was enough to make "Neptune" The 10 squadrons of fighter and attack aircraft that took off flew through this porous network.
Thanks to the intelligence provided by the secret services, almost all of the air defense facilities that survived the ground assault were destroyed in the air strikes, and the air defense equipment, including laser interception systems, was destroyed within minutes. Missiles of various types launched from the air-launched platform of cruise missiles converted from large transport planes that took off from industrial city No. 4 reached the Chesapeake Bay, and these missiles of different types, different ranges, and different warheads crossed and steadily streaked through the sky according to the orders entered by the combat staff officers before launch, leaving a series of graffiti-like trails and falling headlong towards the target.
The target of these cruise missiles, in addition to carrying out supplementary strikes on air defense networks, is to carry out covering strikes against fighters in several military airfields around Washington that have not yet had time to enter the underground caverns. In addition, some of the missiles aimed at the runway are also equipped with napalm and time-delay bombs. Used to paralyze these airports in a short period of time.
In fact, according to the intelligence of the Secret Service, in the event of such a surprise attack, it would be almost impossible for the surrounding small military airfields to resume the take-off and landing of warplanes. The old fighters in the stock are also unlikely to survive the attack. The only one who can respond in time. There are only two naval bases in Newport and Portsmouth, as well as Andrews Air Force Base in Washington.
Therefore. The "Neptune" and several "Neptune-class" strategic nuclear submarines around it once again surfaced and carried out terrifying supplementary attacks on three bases, especially the Andrews Air Force Base, with the submunitive warhead missiles they carried, and some of the missiles also patronized Fort Bradley in New York, which had a relatively intact air defense system, but did not cause much damage -- rather, it was only two companies and an engineering team stationed, and Fort Bradley, which was still under construction, was not at all a worthy target.
Among the three large military bases, the best situation is Newport Harbor, which seems to be afraid of the Fourth Fleet stationed in the port, where ACA fighters did not patronize, and most of the missile attacks were intercepted by the destroyer's regional air defense system, which did not cause much damage, while Andrews Air Force Base was basically bombed to the ground, and Portsmouth, although most of its equipment was underground, basically lost its ability to handle and replenish, and could only protect itself.
And then there was the massive airlifting.
The transport planes that took off from the No. 4 maritime city and followed the air missile launch platform dropped drop pods that could carry 12 paratrooper commandos in Baltimore and Washington - the main direction of attack was naturally Baltimore, because at that time the ACA's camouflage fleet had entered the bombed Peake Bay and began to move towards Baltimore, which had been used as a civilian port and sheltered under the wing of Portsmouth Military Port, fell into the hands of ACA paratroopers without any resistance. Washington was also hit hard by the assault by ACA agents and paratroopers.
As things stand, the Allies are completely divided and surrounded in Washington - Andrews Air Force Base has lost its ability to air defense and take off and land fighters, but the paratroopers should still be resisting, the National Defense University at McNall Fortress has not been hit directly by missiles, but the cadets who lack heavy equipment can only rely on bunkers and partially repaired laser interceptors to resist.
Fort Meade between Baltimore and Washington is under the onslaught of the ACA, and it is not known how long it can hold out, while the ACA fleet carrying a large amount of combat materials is taking off and landing through Baltimore-Washington International Airport, and the other two civilian airports that still have take-off and landing capabilities, Reagan Airport has been controlled by the ACA, and Dulles Airport is still in fierce fighting because of its relatively remote location.
"An order was given that the Dulles airfield must not fall into the hands of the ACA, and if the situation is bad, the use of missiles for sabotage is authorized."
Yang Chengze put down the electronic board in his hand, there are indeed some things that cannot be stopped, and the most important thing now is to stop the ACA from infiltrating inland, and the ACA has obviously given up air supremacy and the ability to expand the results of the subsequent war -- or that the ACA is not capable of launching a landing and anti-landing contest with the alliance on the east coast of the United States.
So what exactly is the purpose of the ACA? Now that they are controlling Baltimore, even if they are suing Washington at most, and they are fighting to the death in New York, so what? In the absence of sea and air supremacy, the in-depth penetration of this lone army is a mortal outcome, is it possible that such a big move and so many manpower and material resources are spent just to give the alliance a super-large "decapitation action package"? A president, seven or eight cabinet members, plus dozens of parliamentarians, may indeed be worth committing about three or four armored divisions, but looking at the size of the fleet, is it necessary to send so many soldiers to die? Or is there something else?
Could it be that it was intended to penetrate North America, these soldiers were trained. Can sustained guerrilla warfare be conducted in North America after being dispersed? Yang Chengze was amused by his own idea, which genius came up with this, the alliance should really give him a one-ton medal.
Although he knew that the ACA's combination punch would not end so easily, Yang Chengze decided not to think about it for now, and it was not too late to eat the landing force first.
"Haven't you contacted Newport's Fourth Fleet yet?"
Yang Chengze put away his smile and turned his head to ask a staff officer next to him.
"Not yet, sir."
"What the hell is going on, there should be an independent quantum communication system on the aircraft carrier, could it be that the flagship of the Fourth Fleet 'Mississippi' has been sunk? How is this possible? ”
Yang Chengze frowned and shook his head noncommittally. Didn't dwell on the issue. "The main task now is to restore the command system under electromagnetic suppression of this intensity, otherwise the already separate strongholds will be broken by each one, order, Bradley Fortress to restore at maximum speed...... Contact Fort Meade. Fort Meade is Washington's last bulwark. Once lost. There would be a steady stream of armies pouring into Washington, and it would be too late. ”
"Sir, what about the president?"
The adjutant finished writing orders. The staff officer next to him reminded him.
"President...... It's really troublesome......" Yang Chengze sighed, "Where is the TF commando that we can use recently?" ”
"There is no communication in the war zone, and there is ...... outside the war zone Not many are available. The staff officer looked at the electronic board in his hand and shook his head.
"Where is Prism Squad now? They should have been the first to arrive, right? ”
"I still can't get in touch."
The staff officer still shook his head, and Yang Chengze sighed, "Then send a tactical commando team from New York to start the presidential search process, and now that old guy can't die yet." ”
"Understood."
The staff officer gave a military salute and then left the cabin where Yang Chengze was.

"Ling Yu, over there!"
Just as Ling Yu and the others were standing on the back of the transport plane that had landed on the abandoned airport, looking at the smoke that almost obscured the sky in the distance and the flames that rolled out between the thick smoke, Linya shouted, Ling Yu turned his head, and looked in the direction of Linya's finger, three red fire trucks with two white ambulances drove towards the huge plane.
"I'll take a look."
Ling Yu stretched out his hand and gestured at Logan, then jumped out of the cabin with his right hand and ran towards the ambulance that was driving towards him.
"Confederate Army!"
Ling Yu waved at the fire truck, but before the other party noticed him, three loaded drones had already flown in front of the fire truck, and the fire truck stopped with a sudden brake, almost causing the ambulance behind to rear-end.
Ling Yu quickly rushed to the front of the first car, the passenger door of the first car was opened, and a strong middle-aged man with a big beard jumped out of the fire truck.
"I am the leader of the 'Prism' squad of the 191st Special Operations Team of the Allied Army, and Army Major Ling Yu." Ling Yu stepped forward and reported his identity to the middle-aged man, "Are you going to reinforce Newport?" ”
"Einsatzgruppen!!"
Before the captain could speak, a middle-aged man with a wolf suddenly jumped down from the second fire truck - his white military uniform had almost been dyed black by soot, and there were traces of smoke on his face, and it was vaguely obvious from his outfit that he was a naval officer, but his rank was torn off, and Ling Yu had no way of judging.
"I'm Captain Frank, communications staff officer of the Confederate Navy's Fourth Fleet, flagship 'Mississippi', and we need support now!"
"What the hell is going on?! Don't tell me that the Mississippi was sunk! Ling Yu frowned, the Mississippi was only commissioned three years ago, and the latest aircraft carrier was at least twice as strong as the big yellow duck in Istanbul before, and it was impossible to sink it lightly.
"No, but the situation is critical!"
"Sir, we need medical rescue now, the co-pilot's leg is broken, there is heavy bleeding, and the captain has some problems with his cervical spine."
Before the communications staff officer could finish speaking, Ling Yu's headset heard the casualties on his side.
"You wait a minute," Ling Yu gestured to the communications staff officer to signal him to wait, and then looked at the man who was obviously the fire chief, "We have two wounded and need an ambulance. ”
"Okay," the fire chief, who hadn't spoken, just looked at the smoke billowing in the distance, nodded, and shouted into the car, "Azov!" These GIs need to follow our ambulances, just in time for the sissies to go back, and remember to let them leave the body bags. ”
Yasuo, the driver sitting in the first car, seemed to be shocked by the terrifying smoke in the distance, and he was stunned for a moment before opening the door and jumping down and running to the back.
"Herris, lift the alert, let the ambulance pass, let those four Air Force staff officers and other crew members leave, there is no need for more senseless dead here." Ling Yu nodded, looking at the ambulance passing by him, "The others came to my side to gather." ”
"Now tell me what's going on."
The communications staff officer looked at the ambulance, gritted his teeth, and then rushed to Ling Yu.
"I was sent out to contact the surrounding fire brigade, and you can see it, now the entire No. 4 industrial city is burning, if the fire is not controlled, the entire Fourth Fleet, Newport Harbor, and hundreds of thousands of people on the East Coast will be blown up into the sky!"
As if to prove the words of this communication staff officer, in an instant, a terrifying explosion occurred behind Ling Yu, Ling Yu turned his head and saw that the industrial city in the distance trembled violently, and a 100,000-ton oil storage tank exploded, and the top of the entire oil storage tank was directly lifted away, and it was torn to pieces in the air, and a fiery red light emerged from the wreckage of the oil storage tank, dyeing the huge mushroom cloud red.
"I want to ...... You're not kidding. Ling Yu, who clearly felt the shaking of the ground and the huge waves on the seaside, subconsciously spoke. (To be continued......)
