As soon as the first wave of soldiers from the 84th Airborne Division landed in the capital of NY, they began to pack up their equipment. Some of them were on guard with guns, while others were contacting their commanders. Before they jumped, they were informed that the entire city was no longer safe. Many enemy soldiers had infiltrated the government forces.
That was indeed the case! As the Allied Forces approached, the NY President no longer trusted all of his troops, including his own. Before the US Army's airborne troops arrived, he had ordered all troops to station at their designated locations. If they refused to obey, they would be considered rebels. These rebels would be wiped out by the US Army one by one. As more and more airborne troops came into contact with the ground, the streets began to be taken over by the US Army.
The NY police officers who were watching from afar began to follow the US Army soldiers to enforce the martial law order. Two propaganda vehicles painted in pearl white began to broadcast the martial law order along the streets:
Dear citizens, I am your President. I now declare that the city will be under martial law for 48 hours. During this time, all residents are prohibited from going out on the streets. We will arrange for some vehicles to provide food and water for you at certain times.
Of course, we will also send people to each household to contact and dispose of some necessary household garbage. Please do not panic. After 48 hours, we will return to normal.
The vehicles drove very slowly, followed by more than a hundred heavily armed US Army soldiers. Their cold eyes were nervously watching the corners of the streets on both sides and the upstairs windows. When the broadcast vehicle arrived at the main gate of the NY General Post Office, it finally encountered resistance.
Two M60 machine guns quietly protruded from the windows on both sides of the street. With a crisp gunshot, the M60 began to fire at the US Army on the street. Da da da …
A promotional car on the road stalled on the spot. The terrifying machine gun bullets sent the car windows flying everywhere. The driver was killed on the spot, and one of the four people in the car who were controlling the sound also died. Two of the remaining three people clutched their wounded stomachs and screamed as they lay on the ground under the stool.
Although the other propaganda vehicle was also riddled with bullet holes and shattered glass, only one of them was seriously injured. The driver was probably an experienced driver. He kept his head down and kept turning the steering wheel. The car kept turning, knocking down many US Army soldiers in the process.
Seeing their colleagues being hit by the car, the Americans who were lying on the ground to fight back turned their guns and fired at the rampaging propaganda vehicle. In less than a minute, the propaganda vehicle immediately burst into flames. Then, it tilted to one side and crashed into a residential building on the side of the road, completely extinguishing the engine.
The driver and the staff in the car would never have thought that they would not be hit by the enemy's bullets but die in the hands of their own people.
The US Army and the attackers exchanged fire in this area for 15 minutes. Because the enemy hid in the residential buildings on both sides, it put a lot of pressure on the US Army. In this short period of 15 minutes, the US Army only killed three militants who poked their heads out to shoot. This result cost the US Army a total of 12 lives. Of course, this did not include the unlucky people who were just hit by the car.
Seeing such a high number of casualties, the US Army soldiers in the crossfire stopped fighting. One by one, they took out the smoke bombs they carried, threw them around them, and used the rising smoke to leave the area.
Thirty minutes later, the US Army called in two modified Willys jeeps. The door and roof of this thing were equipped with a thin layer of steel plate. The most peculiar thing about it was that it was equipped with a 30mm four-barrel rapid-fire gun on the roof. After firing a few smoke bombs, the jeep slowly approached the building where the enemy was hiding. After the smoke dissipated, the US Army soldiers in the jeep fired at the enemy with the rapid-fire gun. One high-explosive shell after another hit the building. After the shell exploded, the building burned with fire and thick smoke. In less than a quarter of an hour, the gunfire on both sides of the building disappeared.
Seeing this scene, the US Army soldiers gathered downstairs cheered excitedly. They gathered together with their guns and followed the armed jeep into the General Post Office.
The US Army soldiers who had just entered the General Post Office did not have time to catch their breath. They were horrified to see the ground around them begin to explode one after another. Caught off guard, the US Army suffered a great loss in this narrow place. In this series of explosions, more than 50 US Army soldiers were blown up on the spot. The ground was full of broken limbs and wounded people crying.
In this explosion, the two armed jeeps did not suffer any damage. Only the tires were blown up by the flying debris in this attack. As soon as the explosion stopped, the soldiers in the jeep immediately turned the rapid-fire gun to avenge their comrades. Before they could open fire, three portable rockets fell from the top of the General Post Office. These were individual rocket launchers issued by the US Army to the NY soldiers. The Americans never thought that one day they would be killed by their own weapons.
Two rounds accurately hit an armed jeep, the force of the explosion blowing off the roof of the jeep, causing a lot of human remains and weapon fragments to fall from the sky. The other round was a stink bomb that hit the flower bed next to the jeep, the violent explosion causing the flowers and trees planted in the flower bed to fly in all directions.
God! This is hell.
The door of the surviving armed jeep suddenly opened. A mentally broken US Army soldier stumbled out of the car and ran into the distance. Brother, you can't run. You can't outrun bullets!
