On the evening of February 17th.
Just half an hour after Celestial Trade announced its intervention in the Colombian War, the first to arrive on the battlefield was a strategic-grade EMP intercontinental missile. The dazzling electric sparks only flickered in the air for a moment, and the brightly lit city fell into darkness.
With the Port of Barranquilla, the capital of North Colombia, as the center, hundreds of miles were within the EMP strike radius. The control systems of power stations and substations were destroyed, and all public facilities such as residential houses, hospitals, police stations, and so on were paralyzed.
The NATO military base stationed near Barranquilla was also hit by the EMP.
However, unlike civilian facilities, the effect of the strike on military facilities was not ideal.
There was no panic. After a brief two-hour power outage, the NATO military base in Barranquilla quickly restored power. Engineers methodically repaired the damaged electronic equipment, removed the malfunctions, and replaced the damaged parts with new parts.
If the last strategic EMP strike caused the electronic equipment damage rate of the NATO Coalition Force to reach 90%, then this time it may only be 13-15%.
Celestial Trade had long anticipated this situation, and Jiang Chen did not expect NATO to be stupid enough to fall for the same trick twice.
The miraculous effect produced in the last Colombian Civil War was entirely because NATO had never encountered such a weapon before and was caught off guard. This time, the NATO Coalition Force used retired equipment such as old-fashioned communication radios, and the damage effect of the EMP on analog circuits was far less obvious than on digital circuits. On the other hand, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon provided solutions for the Pentagon, such as "Faraday spray" and other equipment, which obviously had a certain effect.
However, the NATO Coalition Force soon discovered that their speed of making up for lost time could never keep up with the speed of Celestial Trade's weapon research and development …
Just an hour after the EMP strike, the radar of the Barranquilla military base had returned to normal. The senior officers of the military base gathered in the command room and discussed combat plans around a map.
In less than a day, they had successfully captured Highland 744 and advanced 50 kilometers to the strategic town of Bucaramanga in South Colombia. As long as Bucaramanga was captured, the entire northern end of the Andes would return to their control, and the border supply line between South Colombia and Venezuela would be completely cut off.
However, at this moment, black spots suddenly appeared on the radar screen.
"Enemy flying units are approaching! Two hundred and twenty, suspected to be ground-attack missiles! "The observer sitting in front of the computer and wearing a headset immediately reported to the commander behind him.
With his eagle-like eyes narrowed, the UA soldier with a general's hat stared at the red dots approaching the military base on the big screen. He ordered in a deep voice, "Launch the SLAMRAAM surface-to-air air defense missile to intercept!"
"Yes!"
…
At the gate of the military base, the NATO soldiers standing guard raised their heads and looked at the faintly flashing bright spot not far away.
"What's that?"
"A plane?" another soldier asked.
"Where did all these planes come from?"
With a rough count, there were about a hundred of them, probably another black technology weapon of Celestial Trade.
However, the puzzling thing was that since they chose to launch a "sneak attack" at night, the exhaust flames of the engine were a bit too obvious. Or did they not intend to hide it from the beginning? But this was underestimating the air defense system of the NATO Coalition Force.
Even if it was an Aurora-20, if it dared to fly at them like this, it would be turned into a sieve by surface-to-air missiles and anti-aircraft guns.
As if to confirm the NATO soldier's speculation, surface-to-air missiles rose from the center of the military base one after another and galloped in the direction of the bright spots. Unsurprisingly, the missiles hit their targets one after another.
Clusters of flames exploded in the air, and the smoke of the explosion connected into one in the night sky. Looking at the flames that burst in the distance, the soldier standing next to the checkpoint lowered his muzzle, pulled out the binoculars from his chest, and looked at the airspace where the explosion occurred. He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Sh * t … it's spectacular."
However, at this moment, the soldier's expression suddenly changed.
The comrade standing next to him did not notice the strange expression on his face. He just looked at the smoke of the explosion and asked casually.
"It's gone?"
Slowly putting down the binoculars, the soldier stared at the sky, his eyes flashed with confusion and nervousness as he murmured.
"I'm afraid not …"
In the center of the military base, a missile launch vehicle was parked in the open space, and all the missiles in the launcher had been launched. The engineers on the side dragged out the missile rack from the warehouse and began to reload the missile launch vehicle.
Inside the missile launch vehicle, Captain Blevins, who pressed the launch button, grinned as he looked at the colliding red dots on the radar dial and bumped fists with the co-pilot sitting next to him.
"A direct hit!"
"Nice shot — Sh * t! How is this possible! " Before he could finish his sentence, the captain suddenly leaned on the radar dial and stared at the rows of red dots in disbelief. He muttered to himself in disbelief, "This is impossible!"
This is impossible!
No aircraft can be unscathed after being hit by a SLAMRAAM surface-to-air air defense missile! Even an Aurora-20 is impossible!
The SLAMRAAM air defense system developed by Raytheon was known as the "Guardian of the Land". It would be fine if it didn't hit, but Blevins couldn't believe that nearly two hundred aircraft could be unscathed after being hit by a missile.
"Relock the target! Quick! " Blevins slapped the co-pilot, but there was no time for them to fire another round of missiles.
Not far from the missile launch vehicle, NS-90s slammed into the open space.
The engineers who were reloading the missiles hurriedly fell to the side, and the NATO soldiers nearby also quickly hid behind cover. Blevins buried his head under the steering wheel for a while before he raised his head and peeked out the window.
However, to everyone's surprise, the expected explosion did not happen.
Just when everyone thought that Celestial Trade's "missiles" were misfired, the black "iron coffins" moved as if they were alive. The steel plate armor retreated, exposing the mechanical skeleton hidden under the armor.
A red glow lit up in the center of the spindle-shaped head, and then two rectangular automatic rifles ejected from the arms. Without the slightest warning, the rifles fired at the NATO soldiers behind cover.
"Sh * t!"
With a curse, Blevins jumped out of the missile launch vehicle. Almost at the same time he jumped out of the vehicle, the flames of the explosion suddenly gathered and engulfed him and the missile rack next to him in the orange-red flames.
"This is … we are under attack … Buzz … Requesting support!"
"AHHHHHHHH!"
"FU * K! Medic! "
People were constantly shot down, and screams and explosions echoed one after another. The bullets created dazzling sparks on the NS-90s. The war machine shuttled through the line of fire, just like the T-800 in Terminator.
The difference was that the former was more robotic than the latter, but the same was that both came from the future …
And it was from NATO itself.
The bloody massacre had just begun, and this encounter had gone beyond the scope of war.
Even if the kinetic skeleton was strengthened against Celestial Trade, the M4A1 bullets could not damage the NS-90s.
The NS-90s that were in full battle mode were indeed worthy of the name "battlefield cleaner". Relying on the battlefield data provided by the Sky Eye X1 military satellite, the war robots were like ghosts on the battlefield. Whenever the orange-yellow flames flickered, there was a splatter of flesh and blood.
In this "zero distance" engagement, even if the NATO Coalition Force deployed the M1A2 main battle tank, the depleted uranium bullets could pose a threat to the titanium alloy armor of the NS-90s, but that was only if the bullets could hit the target.
Shocking bullet marks covered every corner of the military base, and the flames of explosions flickered one after another in the military base, not stopping even at dawn …
