Many years later, when Luo Zheng recalled that day, he would still be overwhelmed with emotions.
That was definitely the craziest thing he had ever done in his life.
Landing on Liberty Island by helicopter, Celestial Trade Marines climbed to the top of the Statue of Liberty and used thermite to blow up the copper flame on the torch. The fire of freedom that shone on the East Coast extinguished and was replaced by a flag belonging to Xin that fluttered in the sea breeze.
Luo Zheng looked at the fleeing crowd in Butler Park and the traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge. He stepped on the control terminal of the bridge with one foot and fired at the window of the bridge with his rifle.
"Forward! Forward! Maximum speed! Crash into it! "
Major General Hogg was already crouching under the table, holding his head, roaring in despair in his heart.
This guy is crazy!
Maintaining the highest speed, the bow of the Ford crushed the guardrail of Bartley Park like a big knife cutting through a bamboo pole and directly crashed into the Manhattan Peninsula. The violent impact caused the sailor who was driving the ship to fall head first into the control console, suddenly rolling to the side.
Luo Zheng, who was wearing the power armor, shook his body. He extended his powerful steel arm and smashed the bulletproof glass of the bridge with one punch. He grabbed the twisted steel bar and jumped out of the bridge, landing heavily on the deck.
Kekekeke —
The sound of steel cracking could be heard.
The Ford, which had rushed onto Manhattan Island, was split in two. The second half was left in Butler Park, and the first half, under the influence of inertia, rushed past the National Archives in New York, hit the street on Broadway, and toppled the Wall Street Bull …
"Ahh-!"
"Run!"
"Don't push me! Let me pass — "
The people gathered at the New York Stock Exchange seemed to have gone mad, desperately trying to escape from here. Whether it was a professional trader, a CEO of a listed company, or a financial tycoon with hundreds of millions of funds in his hands, everyone was the same at this moment.
Celestial Trade chose to land on Manhattan Island, and all of them were pushed to the forefront of the war.
Although they had participated in all the wars that had happened in this world since World War I, they had never thought that this day would come.
"These barbarians! How dare they, how dare they … "Standing in the middle of the hall of the stock exchange, a man in a suit and leather shoes stared at the door blankly. Occasionally, someone running past bumped into his shoulder, but he just shook and didn't react.
Behind him was the plummeting Dow Jones index and the red stock prices.
It started when the Wyoming explosion occurred. He tried to salvage the situation, using banknotes to stabilize the panic of investors, quietly selling his chips, and trying his best to withdraw his funds from the stock market … However, all his efforts could not stop the aircraft carrier from hitting Manhattan Island.
A minute ago, he was broke.
…
There was no need for a landing ship.
This degree of impact resistance was no different from a child's play for the Celestial Trade soldiers who could carry out orbital airdrops.
From the middle of the broken aircraft carrier, Python drones swarmed out and formed an arrow-shaped attack formation. They rushed to the New York State National Guard that rushed to support. The bustling streets of Manhattan and the powerful people on the streets made the 155mm self-propelled howitzer battalion (72 pieces) and M270 multi-barrel rocket launchers cautious. Even if they could effectively suppress the strategic depth of 30 kilometers, they didn't dare to open fire. They had to send high-mobility armor such as the M3 cavalry vehicles to cooperate with the M1A2 main battle tanks to launch a frontal attack.
However, soon, they encountered the real opponent of this war.
The main force of Celestial Trade landed from Manhattan, and the amphibious light armor landing on Long Island was just a feint.
Following the Python drones was not the fragile Crocodile amphibious assault vehicle, but the overlord on land a century later, the crystallization of the Pan-Asia Army's technology – the Wanderer tank.
A particle cannon flew out of the smoke of the explosion and directly melted through the front armor that the M1A2 was proud of. Whether it was the high-hard ceramic lining or the depleted uranium alloy armor, in the face of the high-energy particles liberated from magnetic confinement, they were as fragile as tofu. The high-energy particles that penetrated the front armor instantly spread behind the armor and directly raised the temperature inside the vehicle to thousands of degrees. Even if the tank didn't explode immediately, the occupants inside were dead.
"Warrior-1 was destroyed … target hit … SH * T! How is this possible! " In an M1A2 main battle tank, the gunner pressed the fire button, looked at the smoke in front of him, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
Everything that happened in front of him was beyond his common sense.
He saw with his own eyes that at least five depleted uranium armor-piercing shells concentrated on the tank he was aiming at. However, after the dust dissipated, the tank was still unscathed.
The barrel was aimed at him as if it was mocking their incompetence.
To destroy the Wanderer's Meissner effect armor, even without a particle cannon, at least a tactical nuclear bomb with a yield of tens of thousands of tons must be used.
Boom!
Another particle cannon flew out, and this time it hit the ammunition rack, directly sending the roof of an M1A2 more than ten meters into the air.
Just two tanks almost suppressed the entire tank battalion.
Behind the two Wanderer tanks, a reinforced battalion composed of thirty-one Tiger IIs and twelve Spider tanks drove out from the broken hull. The former's Type-50 electromagnetic pulse cannon was a well-deserved tank killer against armored units, and the latter's mobility could "cross mountains" in the city. Even the agile infantry would have a headache.
The heavy armor penetrated the tank battalion of the UA Cavalry Division from the front. The soldiers in kinetic skeletons and power armors quickly advanced to the streets of Manhattan. More than two divisions of troops, with the help of the Ford and two supply ships, directly landed on Manhattan Island.
A wave of troops directly went to JFK International Airport and Long Island Beach where the amphibious force was fighting. They surrounded the UA Cavalry Division and the New York State National Guard shore defense forces, paving the way for the follow-up troops to land. Another wave crossed the most prosperous neighborhoods of New York City. While occupying all of Manhattan, they directly went to Jersey City, New Jersey.
According to the intelligence of the Air Force, the support firepower of the Cavalry Division was concentrated there.
Not only that, but the New Jersey State National Guard was also there.
…
From the Tumaco District, they boarded a ship from the port of Turbo, crossed the Caribbean Sea and Bermuda, and landed on the coast of New York City in an unexpected manner. At this time, General Felton, who was in charge of commanding the NATO Coalition Force, finally understood.
From the very beginning, Celestial Trade set its sights on the UA.
He had blown up Monteria's highway on his own accord, but he didn't know that they didn't even look at Monteria. Perhaps only he knew the taste of this kind of defeat.
Including the reinforcements that arrived later, more than 150,000 UA soldiers were trapped in the quagmire of Colombia.
Before this war was completely over, they would never receive reinforcements, and they would never be able to return from Colombia to defend the UA and join their comrades defending the homeland.
Just as Wall Street and the Statue of Liberty fell, the battle in Capital gradually came to an end.
Before the outcome of the land battle was decided, the outcome of the air battle was gradually becoming clear.
Team after team of F-22 flight squadrons turned into falling fireballs in the game of Wings of Freedom's Eagle Catches Chicks. Then the Orbital Airborne Brigade and the Power Armor Brigade, with the support of air power, quickly penetrated the UA defense line.
At the highest point of the Lincoln Memorial, the flag of Xin was planted.
With the collapse of this line of defense, there was no longer any place to defend from the Arlington Memorial Bridge to the Capitol.
Following the defeat of the District of Columbia National Guard, the Seventh Orbital Airborne Brigade moved all the way in the direction of the Capitol and finally burned this war into the backyard of the UA President …
