"To be honest, I've been in North America for almost a year, and I only applied to change back to Wanghai a few months ago." After welding the laser anti-aircraft weapon to the steel bracket, the engineer with a hard hat wiped the sweat from his forehead, grinned, and looked at his comrade next to him, "I've been here for so long, but this is the first time I've seen a North American who calls himself an American."
"Then what do they usually call themselves?" After wiping his sweat with a towel, another engineer picked up the mineral water and took a sip. He smiled and said, "A native of the West Coast? Or a Californian freak? "
"None of them. Californian cowboys, Nevada mercenaries, Alaskan gamblers, NATO people … The first few are more common, and the latter are less common. Except for the people in Chinatown who will group up according to their ancestral home, those whites and blacks like to use state names to draw a line with other people. "
"Chinatown? There are other Chinese around here? "
"Not just Chinese. Koreans, Nippon, Vietnamese, even Indians, Asians on the West Coast basically live there. The things there are quite interesting. When this war is over, I can take you there for a tour — "
Halfway through the sentence, a harsh alarm suddenly sounded.
The two engineers were taken aback for a moment, and their expressions changed. Without saying a word, they grabbed their toolboxes and ran toward the stairs.
The moment the air defense alarm sounded, the entire fortress was like a pot of boiling water, and everyone moved. The non-combatants immediately retreated into the air defense bunker, and the soldiers in kinetic skeletons ran in a line and quickly rushed to their combat positions.
The anti-aircraft electromagnetic pulse cannons and laser weapons deployed on the fortress raised their barrels in unison, and Aurora-20s ejected from the deck of AS Order. In the blink of an eye, a squadron had taken off and formed a defensive formation in the air, ready for battle.
"Company A has entered combat position, requesting instructions." Sitting at the entrance of the air defense bunker, a soldier in power armor walked to the entrance and sat down. Behind him were more than 120 soldiers in K2 kinetic skeletons.
The pitch-black rifles had their safeties off, and everyone was ready for battle.
If the USN Army launched a surprise attack on the colony's air defense facilities, then they would be the first line of defense of the fortress!
…
Deep in the colony's air defense bunker, inside the temporary command post.
This was not only the command tower of the expeditionary force, but also the radar station of the colony.
The observers sat nervously in front of the control terminal, and the workers ran back and forth between the terminals with hurried footsteps. This place was the eye and brain of the entire expeditionary army, from which battle orders were sent to the frontline.
He took the elevator to the ground floor and quickly walked into the command center. When he arrived, Li Wang and Zheng Shanhe were standing at the command table not far away, discussing combat strategies with a group of officers.
He signaled everyone not to worry about him as he looked at the big screen in front of the command post.
When he saw the rapidly approaching red dots, he couldn't help but furrow his brows. He walked up and looked at the radar observer beside him as he asked in a deep voice.
"What's the situation?"
"The unidentified flying object has entered the radar recognition area and will encounter our flight squadron in one minute!" The soldier stared at the radar screen and immediately reported.
"How many enemy planes are there?" Jiang Chen immediately asked.
"Fourteen … Wait a minute, holy shit!"
Without the slightest warning, the moment the half-arc cursor swept across the radar screen, rows of densely packed red dots suddenly appeared. When the observer saw the rising number in the lower right corner, he even forgot that the general was standing next to him and cursed with his eyes widened.
Five hundred and twenty-seven!
Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed into slits as he stared at the scarlet number. He turned to look at Li Wang and ordered without hesitation, "Immediately launch the EMP missile and carry out a saturation attack on the target airspace!"
"Roger!"
Even without Jiang Chen's order, he planned to do so.
Without any hesitation, Li Wang pressed on the headset and issued a combat order to AS Order in the air.
Thousands of meters above the ground, the armor on the side of the steel airship slowly moved, revealing the hideous missile launch hole. Without any prelude, accompanied by the roar of the engine ignition, four thick and long columns of smoke spewed out, carrying the four missiles into the distant airspace.
The flight squadrons hovering on both sides of AS Order changed their formation and covered the two sides of the missiles from a distance as they pressed toward the target airspace.
Looking at the red dots on the radar, the squadron leader in the middle of the formation opened the safety of the weapon system and at the same time issued an order to the flight squads to engage.
"… We are about to enter combat range. All squads listen to the order and fire freely. I repeat, fire freely … Fu * k, what is that? "
The EMP weapon exploded in the air, but it did not have much impact on the incoming aircraft. The black "iron coffins" formed a loose formation in the air, ignoring the twenty-four Aurora-20s and headed straight in the direction of the colony.
If possible, the squadron leader would like to separate a flight squad to chase after the group of iron coffins and fire a few rounds of machine guns. However, when he saw the F-79s following the group of iron coffins, he had to dispel the idea.
The quality of pre-war equipment was always better than the products made by the wasteland engineers. This was a truth that had been verified countless times.
The distance of several kilometers passed in the blink of an eye, and the two sides entered their respective combat range.
The volley of air-to-air missiles dragged the tail flames and crisscrossed each other. The ejected heat-seeking bombs scattered in the air like fireworks and embellished the brilliant sunset in the sky together with the flames of the explosion.
In the blink of an eye, the outcome of the first round of confrontation was decided.
Large pieces of wreckage fell from the sky with long trails of black smoke. When the last missile was fired, both sides tacitly changed from the orderly firing line to close quarters combat.
The roaring machine guns flew wildly in the air, chasing each other's tail flames, tearing apart the white clouds and the blue sea.
On the other side, under the cover of Wings of Freedom, the iron coffins successfully passed through the blockade of the NAC flight squadron, directly ignored the huge steel airship, and crashed in the direction of the colony.
Of course, the expeditionary force would not let them get what they wanted. Under the guidance of the radar, the electromagnetic rapid-fire cannons took the lead in firing fierce firepower into the sky. The bombs drew an orange-yellow trajectory in the air, intertwined into an impenetrable net, and covered the black flying objects.
However, an amazing scene happened.
Milky white airwaves condensed in front of the iron coffins, and the small-caliber bombs launched by the electromagnetic anti-air cannons were bounced to the side by the air wall.
Except for a few that were shredded by the concentrated firepower, most of the iron coffins successfully broke through the firepower net woven by the bombs and rushed to the colony's fortress without slowing down …
