1520 、 Conquer the Pacific Defense Line (1)
"Alien vs. Predator" world, America's West Coast, Pacific Defense Line.
A completely unfair battle was going on. Although it was unfair, it was the same for both sides. It had been a month since the Guardian Empire officially launched their attack. During this period of time, the United States displayed its strength as a superpower. Countless warships were towed out of the Philadelphia military port. Most of these warships were previously decommissioned and sealed. After undergoing emergency repairs, they were immediately sent to the Pacific Ocean battlefield.
Now, the US fleet gathered at the Pacific Defense Line had reached more than 300 warships. This did not include the number of small warships such as missile boats and armed gunboats! Their enemies were a large group of civilian ships. Most of them were transport ships. The only ones with combat power were the warships of the previously captured Third Fleet.
However, the unfairness in numbers was another kind of unfairness when it came to fighting! Most of the civilian ships of the Guardian Empire had some flight decks. A large number of Dragon Rider Type IV aircraft were parked on the flight decks. These aircraft did not need a runway at all. They directly took off and landed vertically, then pounced toward the US defense line!
The US fleet did not dare to take off to intercept them. They did not even launch anti-aircraft missiles. For no other reason than the hundreds of spherical hedgehog-shaped aircraft hovering in the air — Interceptor! After more than a month of fighting, the Americans had discovered that these Interceptor aircraft were completely against the rules! No matter how many missiles were launched, they would be completely intercepted by these aircraft! The laser attacks without any blind spots completely turned the missiles into trash!
It was the same for the fighter jets. These fighter jets did not dare to approach the airspace of the battle. If they did, they would be shot down immediately by the Interceptor. None of them would be spared!
Not only the Americans, but all the countries in the world were silent after seeing this war! Because in this era, more than 90% of human wars relied on missiles. Whether it was planes, warships, or aircraft carriers, they were actually just platforms for launching missiles. However, the Guardian Group's Interceptor aircraft directly declared the missiles ineffective!
Every country was pondering what the outcome would be if they were the ones in the war. The answer was hopeless. For a time, the phone of the Guardian Empire's base in Antarctica exploded with calls from the leaders of various countries. This annoyed Gao Ming, who was focused on commanding the battlefield, so Chen Gang dispatched a diplomatic team from the Terminator world to deal with the matter here.
But the Americans were not so lucky! The entire Pacific perimeter was a sea of flames. The Protector Empire's methods of attack were extremely simple, using the Dragonrider Mark IV to bombard them indiscriminately. Under the concentrated attacks of the ion cannons, the superstructure of those warships would quickly be destroyed, thus losing their fighting strength.
However, the only way for the Americans to respond was to use anti-aircraft artillery or even anti-aircraft machine guns! Meanwhile, these weapons were extremely ineffective against the Dragonrider Type 4 fighter that was equipped with energy shields. The Americans moved all the anti-aircraft guns they could find to the Pacific defense line, using quantity to make up for quality. The entire defense line consumed tens of thousands of tons of ammunition every day! All the railway and highway networks in the United States were operating at full capacity, continuously transporting the artillery shells and anti-aircraft guns over, then using them up within a day, then continuing production and transportation.
In order to increase the anti-aircraft firepower of the fleet, the United States even mass-produced two types of light machine guns, the M249 and M60, and distributed them to the sailors and crew on all warships. Once the Dragonrider Mark IV aircraft attacked, everyone would rush to the deck and fight to the death.
On one of the artificial floating islands of the Pacific defense line, there were thousands of American marines stationed here, all of them looking nervous. There were a lot of traces of bombardment and fire on the floating island. Some barges were busy dragging away the damaged concrete floating boxes, then bringing in new ones to install. On the floating island, a large number of anti-aircraft guns were erected, and there were even some models from World War II. In front of the floating island, a huge figure towered like an iron wall. It was the second ship of the Iowa-class battleship, the USS Michigan!
There were many rust stains on the outer armor of this warship that hadn't been cleaned in time, but even so, it didn't make the austere temperament of this meritorious warship that had been in service since World War II to the 90's lose in the slightest. On top of the three triple 406 mm caliber main cannons, there were nine barrels that could easily fit a person inside. A single blast from these super large caliber main cannons was enough to turn an area of several hundred meters into a land of death!
It was precisely because of the support of these three Iowa-class battleships that the Guardian Empire's commander, Gao Ming, was worried that the civilian ships used for transport would suffer disastrous losses, which was why he continuously used the Dragonrider Mark IV aircraft to bombard them.
At this moment, an ear-piercing alarm suddenly sounded on the floating island. Everyone immediately got into position, using somewhat trembling hands to pick up their weapons. The various units used old telephone lines to communicate with each other, and they quickly arranged their combat deployment. From the looks of it, this didn't seem like a war of the 21st century at all, but rather like World War II!
This couldn't be helped. The interceptor aircraft had destroyed the missiles, and the commander aircraft's electronic interference had destroyed most of the electronic communications and advanced radar equipment. In this kind of situation, if it wasn't for the spirit of protecting the country, these soldiers would have long collapsed from the great disparity in morale.
"Enemy attack! Those Dragonrider aircraft are coming again! "A soldier standing on a sentry tower put down his binoculars and yelled at the top of his lungs.
Immediately after, hundreds of small black dots appeared on the horizon. They were all Dragonrider Mark IV aircraft!
"The scale this time is different from the past! Immediately notify headquarters, the enemy may be planning to directly attack the USS Michigan this time! "The American commander used his binoculars to look at the situation and shouted to the communications soldier.
"The escort fleet, with the USS Michigan as the core, immediately spread out into a defensive formation! Immediately fire the interference chaff! "His adjutant immediately began to give the order.
Around this giant ship, hundreds of warships of various sizes immediately took their positions, all of their turrets aimed at the sky. Immediately after, a series of banging sounds could be heard. Countless tinfoil, a large number of graphite fibers, and infrared interference bombs were fired one after another, almost forming a dense interference cloud in the sky!
At the same time, a series of whistling sounds could be heard, and countless missiles descended from the sky! Under the lock of the few remaining radars of the American military, a large number of anti-aircraft missiles soared into the sky and flew straight towards these missiles! These short-range interceptor missiles were the only missiles the United States could use on this battlefield, because the range of the interceptor aircraft wasn't that far.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! A series of explosions exploded in the sky, and a large number of missiles fired by the Dragonrider Mark IV aircraft were intercepted. Many of the missiles lost their aim when passing through the interference cloud, swaying as they fell into the sea.
