The operation code name was Punishment.
The combat mission was simple – to control Country F's Presidential Palace, Congress, Supreme Court, Department of Defense, and other important facilities, arrest war criminal Aquino IV, Minister of Defense Marshal Stark, and Moritz, a military adviser from Frankberg.
Moro dispatched a 3,000-strong reinforced airborne brigade, Celestial Trade dispatched a 2,000-strong airborne brigade, and a drone attack group composed of 8,000 Hummingbirds to launch a large-scale airborne operation on the capital of Country F, City M.
There were only twenty-four hours.
At 3 am on July 23, the Dolphin-10 ballistic missile was launched from a submarine missile silo deployed in the Western Pacific and detonated in the airspace of central Luzon. The EMP strike covered most of Luzon Island, City M was completely without power, and traffic was completely paralyzed.
Subsequently, Aurora-20s flew into the airspace and engaged in a fierce battle with 10 F22s and five F35s that took off to completely seize air supremacy over City M.
The Sea Lions Special Forces then landed on Luzon Island to infiltrate and destroy Patriot 3 and other air defense systems, clearing the way for the airborne troops.
When everything was ready, two brigades of airborne troops set off from Port D Airport and arrived over Luzon Island at 5 am to begin the large-scale airborne operation called "Punishment".
30 Il-76 transport aircraft were used to deliver the paratroopers.
A long time ago, Jiang Chen ordered this large transport aircraft from Russia at a unit price of 20 million US Dollar through Natasha for rapid deployment of combat units. Although there were better aircraft in the apocalypse, those things were temporarily stuck on the blueprints. At present, Future Military's production capacity was temporarily insufficient to achieve large-scale production.
In order to reduce civilian casualties, Jiang Chen specifically set the start time of the operation at night.
Before noon, it was the deadline for the United Nations to the warring parties. As long as Country F's command system was disintegrated before noon, the President and half of Congress were arrested, and they were forced to sign the surrender agreement immediately, the war could be declared over.
With the defeat of Country F, a ceasefire between the two sides would be achieved!
…
The roar of the engine and the cold wind blew outside the steel hull.
Against the cold cabin, inside the Il-76 transport aircraft, two rows of heavily armed soldiers sat neatly.
The dark kinetic skeleton armed them to the teeth, and the ink-colored glass on the numbered helmets exuded a murderous vibe.
The fuselage shook violently, and the nose of the plane lifted up slightly. The signal lights in the cabin lit up one after another, and the fingers neatly pulled off the safety, then the nylon buckle behind them.
At this moment, they had arrived in the sky above City M.
The officer walked to the center of the cabin, reached out his hand to pull the hook ring, and stood there steadily, making the final mobilization.
"… The monkeys detonated a nuclear bomb in their own city. Now, we're going to catch the person who pressed the button. Land, confirm position, lock on target, open fire, kill those with guns, don't shoot civilians! It was that simple to advance toward the mission goal! Now, check your equipment and prepare to depart! "
What responded to him was a uniform roar.
There was no need to mobilize them at all. Everyone's morale was high.
Country F must pay for the 431 brothers that died in the nuclear explosion. Blood must be paid with blood! Hatred flashed in the eyes of every soldier.
The signal light turned from red to green, and the cabin door slowly opened.
Above the clouds, two fighter jets whizzed past.
Air waves rolled into the cabin. Through the layers of white clouds, it could be clearly seen that the anti-aircraft artillery was firing tracers into the air, futilely driving away the aurora that wreaked havoc in the airspace. Not far away, Moro's 31st Airborne Brigade had begun to parachute, and parachutes filled the sky.
Parachute into the capital of Country F, City M, and end the war within 24 hours!
"Now! Jump! Quick! "
In the roar of the officer, the soldiers in kinetic skeletons jumped out of the cabin.
Unlike Moro's paratroopers, they parachuted to a height of about 200 meters. The slow landing device mounted on the back of the kinetic skeleton was activated, and the blue flame spurted out. The paratroopers of Celestial Trade cut off the parachutes behind them, and with the buffer of the short-range rocket ejector, they landed heavily on the concrete road or the top of high-rise buildings.
It was already dawn, and under the high-rise buildings, the citizens of City M screamed and fled. The traffic was in chaos as early as the first round of EMP strikes. When the paratroopers began to parachute, the entire city was even more chaotic. Even the police in City M threw away their guns and batons and joined the fleeing crowd as they ran in the direction of the subway station.
Occasionally, one or two patriots picked up pistols, but they were quickly targeted and killed by the drones that landed first.
Anyone who held a weapon would be regarded as a combatant!
Moro's paratroopers were the first to land and immediately exchanged fire with Country F's 11th Guards Brigade and Country F's anti-terrorist forces. The flames of the explosion filled the streets and alleys of City M, and the broken down armored vehicles were abandoned on the side of the road.
After the soldiers of Celestial Trade landed, they immediately opened the holographic map on their digital helmets. The AI of the quantum computer developed the nearest gathering point and attack route, which were intuitively marked on the holographic map. Everyone entered a state of combat in the shortest time possible.
Country F's soldiers who rushed to the city for support became the ones who had to deal with the situation.
No one thought that Celestial Trade would come up with such a radical and risky strategy. They directly parachuted two brigades into City M instead of concentrating on clearing the guerrillas on MLL Island.
In the war, Celestial Trade used Reptile robots for the first time as infantry firepower support platforms, using short-range rockets and small-caliber grenades to unleash firepower on Country F's soldiers.
The two sides exchanged fire in shopping malls, bus stations, highways, office buildings, and other locations to compete for control of the city's main traffic arteries.
The battle was extremely tragic.
Because the battle took place in the city, and it was still in the capital, Country F could not use artillery to support the frontline troops. It could only dispatch armored battalions stationed nearby and send tanks and armored vehicles to clear Moro's airborne troops.
However, air superiority was in the hands of Celestial Trade.
Faced with the rain of bullets from the sky, Country F's ground units were like chicks under the claws of an eagle, and they could only flee in panic.
As long as they were marked on the map, a bomb or machine gun would soon fly over and blast them into a pile of scrap metal.
In order to avoid being locked on by Aurora-20s, an armored vehicle of Country F directly reversed and rushed into the National Bank of Country F. However, the air-to-ground missile still hit the target, and the flames of the explosion blew the entire bank gate into pieces.
In order to end the battle as soon as possible, Celestial Trade no longer cared about civilian casualties.
Anyway, they participated in the war as mercenaries, and Moro would be the one to take the blame.
What's more, the Country F government itself didn't care …
In addition to investing a brigade of troops, Celestial Trade also airdropped 1,000 drone hives to City M, released a total of 8,000 Hummingbird drones, and programmed 16 groups of drones to eliminate Country F's ground units.
These drone swarms were like locusts, and everywhere they passed was a mess.
Overlooking the earth from space, the entire City M looked like it was ravaged by fire. The smoke of war burned from the suburbs to the city center, into the square in front of the Presidential Palace, and into the underground bunkers where Aquino IV and other senior officials hid …
