    Defend, encircle, and then attack. Within a distance of less than two kilometers outside the airport, although China and the United States have not invested many troops, they have formed three fronts with complex personnel and intertwined teeth.  At this time, the tank regiment that came to reinforce the airport was less than eight kilometers away from the airport. As long as they advanced a little bit, the entire airport fell into their attack range.

    However, in the eastern sky, a roar suddenly sounded, and a squadron of Seahawk-3 roared in.  The attack fleet's support finally arrived, and the planes fought against the tanks, which was always one-sided.  This armored regiment has lost the opportunity to move forward.

    Just when the U.S. armored forces were stagnant, the battle situation around Manhattan Airport took a significant turn. The two sides, which had always been evenly matched, lost the fire support of armored vehicles and helicopters. The U.S. military, which had been in an offensive state, became a defensive force.  The Lone Wolf Special Operations Unit was unyielding. Under attack from both sides, some U.S. soldiers suffered mental breakdowns. The entire U.S. defense line was instantly torn apart. All the U.S. troops present became the targets of the Lone Wolf Special Operations Unit.

    The U.S. armored forces blocked by fighter jets received follow-up support, and the fuel and ammunition consumption of Chinese fighter jets returned.  The US armored forces launched again, but because of their pause, all the original opportunities were lost.

    At this time, another group of more than 40 fighter planes arrived in a large formation over Manhattan, and it was less than two hours before the entire operation.

    "We have arrived in the airspace of No. 5! The weather in the airspace is good, the visibility is good, and there are no abnormalities! The electronic warfare aircraft has successfully electronically suppressed the enemy!" the radar soldier in the early warning aircraft reported.  "The target has been found! Enemy armored forces have been found southwest of the target!"

    "Very good! The Skylark Squadron is responsible for air security; the Sparrowhawk Squadron launches attacks on enemy armored targets in four batches; the Skyhawk Squadron launches multiple batches of attacks on predetermined targets in Manhattan! The absolute safety of Manhattan Airport must be guaranteed!" Sitting there!  The person commanding the AWACS aircraft was Gao Buping, the commander of the 3rd Air Force Regiment of the 10th Air Force Division.

    The former pointed out that after the Lone Wolf Special Forces successfully captured the airport, he immediately ordered the Air Force 3rd Regiment, which was already on standby, to immediately take off for support. At this point in the war, there was almost nothing to hide.

    What will it look like when a tank unit encounters a fighter plane?  Especially those fighters with attack aircraft performance, the answer is one-sided massacre.

    In later generations, after the "Second Gulf War", the U.S. military used helicopters to conduct operations on a large scale.  Moreover, armed helicopters can better support ground operations because they can hover in the air.  In addition, once the attack aircraft does not have air superiority, it is simply a target aircraft. Therefore, no matter from any aspect, this close attack support aircraft, once known as the "tank killer", has been forgotten by the world.

    However, some people have forgotten the fact that during the first Gulf War, the US military's A-10 attack aircraft made great achievements.  You know, armed helicopters are far inferior to attack aircraft in terms of speed, armor, battlefield survivability and ammunition carrying capabilities

    When China designed its third-generation jet fighter, it emphasized ground attack capabilities.  Because the high-performance air superiority fighter is a Black Hawk fighter, the Warhawk-3 basically focuses more on ground attack.

    The third-generation Warhawk fighter is more designed to bridge the gap between the Intruder fighter-bombers and armed helicopters, and because it can reduce the range and ensure a substantial increase in bomb load, it can be said to be a short-range light bomber.

    Everyone has his or her own use in this world.  And weapons are no exception.

    Howling!  The moment the U.S. armored forces spotted a plane appearing in the sky, they knew their fate.  Smoke bombs, vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft machine guns, and all the anti-aircraft weapons that could be used were used. Perhaps there was still a bit of luck in their hearts, because they felt that they had not encountered the legendary Chinese helicopter.

    However, the powerful ground firepower of the fleet immediately let them know what purgatory is.

    Electronic suppression of the Chinese Air Force.  The anti-aircraft missiles used by the US military in experiments are almost useless, because anti-aircraft missiles that can only have basic infrared guidance do not pose much of a threat to prepared aircraft.  When strange-shaped infrared-guided anti-aircraft missiles flew into the sky and followed the infrared-induced missiles fired by fighter planes.  A nightmare has just arrived.

    An explosion is still an explosion; a scream is still a scream.  The mighty iron-clad lion just a moment ago became a lamb to be slaughtered in the blink of an eye.

    Just after a round of attacks, the anti-aircraft missile battalion being tested by the US armored forces had been reduced to ashes. When the 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun bullets on the top of the tank hit the War Eagle-3, only white dots were left, or rather  Small holes.  rootHe was unable to stop Qiang Qi's attack, and the sound of the plane flying across the sky was like the grim smile of death.  Waving the sickle in his hand, he harvests the lives of these people.

    "Quick! Use artillery to destroy the airport for me!" The commander of the US armored force knew that the destruction of his armored force was inevitable.  but.  He was still working hard as a commander, hoping to complete his mission. He worked hard to summon several Sherman tanks around him, hoping to die together.

    He overestimated his men. When an American soldier chose to escape, it was like a virus in later generations. It immediately spread to more American soldiers. No one paid heed to his words, and everyone jumped out of the tank.  Come out, and then run away desperately.

    In the sky, the US military's sabers rushed to support, but the high-level command center was paralyzed, and there were too few troops. A dozen sabers had no effect at all.

    On the ground, the voice of the US military commander was drowned in the explosions and shouts. In anger, he picked up his pistol and killed the two soldiers who ran past him, hoping to stop the soldiers' rout and hope they could fight.  Be strong enough to resist.  He forgot that water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.  When he thought he could stop the defeat immediately with the iron-blood policy, an American soldier told him a truth with a high-level dual-purpose machine gun in his hand.

    Several consecutive years of war, a one-sided war with more defeats and fewer wins, have put American soldiers under too much pressure.  Now, everyone has entered the country, and even though their weak nerves collapsed instantly.

    "Death and collapse, perhaps the US military commander has a lot of unwillingness in his heart, but it is all in vain.  In the nearly twenty-minute attack, the entire armored force responsible for supporting the US military suffered a devastating blow.  but.  Those American soldiers who escaped were not pursued by the Sparrowhawk Squadron.

    Gao Buping believes that the memory of this battle will be deeply remembered in the minds of the American soldiers who escaped. If they return to the army, they will become American soldiers again.  When they see Chinese fighter jets again, they will forget to resist, and then run away like crazy again, and their escape can infect more people, which is the source of the virus.

    Lahar, who has always had the foresight, was also in danger at this time, while the Sparrowhawk Squadron of the Chinese Air Force launched an attack on the US armored forces.  The Skyhawk Squadron launched a series of precision attacks on various military targets in Manhattan, damaging artillery positions, barracks, radar positions, television towers, communications towers, etc.

    Rahal suddenly realized that China¡¯s general attack was about to begin. When he picked up the phone and heard the busy signal on the phone, he understood that everything was now under the control of the Chinese.  I have become a caged bird.

    At this time, the whole of Manhattan was filled with explosions, collapse of buildings and scenes of fire. Residents in the city poured out one after another, looking at this scene in disbelief. Some people had already started to pack their things and drove their cars.  Get ready to leave town.  The whole street was in chaos.  The whole scene in Manhattan was like the Americans randomly bombing Baghdad in the first Gulf War

    "The first wave of air strikes has been successfully completed, and the second wave of strike targets has been sent to each squadron to prepare for the second wave of attacks!" After each attack target was analyzed by the radar on the satellite and early warning aircraft, the second wave of attacks was immediately formulated.  Target.  Those that did not achieve the intended effect should be attacked again.  Although the first wave of attacks has completed 90% of the mission, the US military is still resisting. Due to electronic suppression, the radar station was also destroyed, and anti-aircraft missiles were shot into the sky at will, hoping to cause some trouble to the Chinese Air Force.  And some anti-aircraft guns are still firing blindly

    "Commander, the first batch of paratroopers has arrived in airspace No. 4. The front finger requires us to complete the attack as soon as possible. Provide a good ground environment for the paratroopers!" the communication soldier in the early warning aircraft reported to Gao Buping.

    "Tell them that the target area has been completed and let them rest assured!" Gao Buping said calmly: "Order each squadron to start the second wave of attacks and give me accurate targets!"

    With the cooperation of armored vehicles.  The members of the Lone Wolf Special Operations Team quickly cleared away the remaining US military resistance around the airport. When the two teams merged, everyone had a happy smile on their faces.

    "Look!" A member of the special operations team suddenly pointed at the sky behind Chen Fuliang and shouted.  Everyone turned around.  A parafoil appeared in mid-air and was flying towards them.  Behind them was the sun that was slowly rising, and those parasols were coated with a golden afterglow.

    "Captain, please tell us that the Third Parachute Group is here to reinforce us. They have arrived at the scheduled airspace and are parachuting!" A signal soldier happily ran over from a distance and shouted loudly.  Everyone looked at the signal soldier who was ecstatic,They all pointed to the sky behind him and said, "We have already seen it"

    The paratroopers controlled the parafoils in their hands and landed at the Manhattan Airport under the guidance of the Lone Wolf Special Forces. Looking at the temporarily intact airport, the commander of the parachute troops immediately felt that he had a heavy responsibility. You must know that the Lone Wolf Special Forces  The team with less than sixty people in total can defend the airport. If he causes any damage to the airport, he may almost become a criminal for the ages.

    Along with the paratroopers came down their equipment. Paratrooper assault vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles, shoulder-launched anti-aircraft missiles and other heavy equipment were also scattered around.  The paratroopers opened the packages one by one in an orderly manner, and some paratroopers began to assemble their motorized parachutes, making preparations to forcefully break into Manhattan from the air.

    The capture of Manhattan Airport was equivalent to blowing the clarion call for China's offensive, and the general offensive was advanced by nearly an hour. The designated time was just to remind everyone, and it was not to be implemented rigidly.

    Manhattan airborne early warning aircraft, Gao Buping looked at the battlefield results report just sent back, and finally showed a smile on his face: "Order the Skyhawk and Sparrowhawk Squadrons to return immediately to replenish fuel and ammunition. The Yunyan Squadron is on standby to support ground attacks at any time.  force."

    Although the Yunyan Squadron is equipped with all Black Hawk fighters, when they came to perform the mission this time, they were basically equipped with laser-guided air-to-surface missiles. Their mission this time was based on the Army's launch of  Laser source to carry out precise strikes on targets.

    And at Manhattan Airport.  Motorized parachutes have been prepared and began to slowly take off. Some paratroopers have been fully armed and are heading towards Manhattan in paratrooper assault vehicles and armored vehicles. The remaining paratroopers have also prepared the entire airport.  defensive measures, waiting for a large-scale landing.

    ¡°Everyone is not a fool, and neither are Americans.  While mobilizing troops, Lahar analyzed the current situation from the photos brought back by the reconnaissance plane.  The key point was obvious, and that was Manhattan Airport, which they suddenly discovered was still intact.  And as you can see from the photos, the Chinese soldiers are cleaning the runway, obviously preparing for the landing of their fighter planes.

    "Order the 9th Missile Battalion to destroy this airport for me!"

    Although Laharl didn¡¯t think carefully about the whole situation, this person has a brain with a strong memory.  He clearly remembered the housing locations of each unit.  Lahar's order soon made the Ninth Regiment busy.

    The Ninth Regiment is a U.S. surface-to-surface missile regiment, and the Minuteman-1 missiles it is equipped with are regarded as "national treasures" by Americans.  Although the Minuteman-1 missile has never had much effect on the battlefield, and even U.S. soldiers sneered at it, it is undeniable that the Minuteman-1 missile has part of the German V-2 bloodline, which is enough to arouse the concern of the Chinese military.  of attention.

    "Zhu Yuan's correction is completed, and the missile is in good condition. It can be launched!" From the time the order was received to the launch of the first Minuteman-1 surface-to-surface missile, only twenty minutes passed.  Following the commander's order, Minuteman-1 missiles flew out from here and flew directly to Manhattan Airport.  Their goal is to completely destroy the airport

    "Report, four UFOs were discovered, entering from the southwest, climbing at high speed, approaching subsonic speed!" The 9th Missile Regiment of the U.S. Army had just launched the missile when it was discovered by the Chinese early warning aircraft. A radar  Bing reported in a rapid tone.

    "Find out what it is immediately!" Gao Buping's heart tightened slightly. There must not be any problems at this time.

    "The target data has been sent back to the ground command center. The ground command center is analyzing it!" the signal soldier continued.

    "All squadrons are on red alert. UFOs have been spotted in the southwest" Gao Buping hurriedly reported the enemy situation, and the two Black Hawk fighter jets that were diving immediately pulled up the fighter jets.  All Chinese fighter planes in the entire airspace were on alert.  However, surprisingly, no one sounded the alarm in the cockpit of the aircraft.

    "Report, the ground command center sent back a report. The UFO has been confirmed to be an American Minuteman-1 missile. According to the ballistic attack target, it should be Manhattan Airport" the signal soldier said quickly.

    "What? Lock the missile immediately! No matter what method you think of, it must be intercepted!" Gao Buping, who had always had a calm mind, couldn't help but feel worried in his tone.

    The Chinese army's premeditated surprise attack caught the United States off guard, and the entire United States was in chaos. The U.S. Army continued to deploy troops to support Manhattan, and some generals even proposed taking risks to drop airborne troops to support Manhattan, which had become an isolated island. This must not be allowed to happen.  Manhattan fell into Chinese hands.

    The Chinese people don¡¯t know what the Americans are discussing for the time being, but now they are far more nervous than the Americans. Four Minuteman-1 missilesThe target of the bullet attack made the whole front finger feel excited.  Gao Buping felt even more regretful. You must know that the attack distance of the Minuteman-1 missile is only about a few hundred kilometers, which means that it is within the range of his own air formations that can attack at any time, and now such a situation has occurred.

    The fully fueled Skyhawk Squadron immediately carried out a devastating blow to the perpetrators. Although the sneak attack troops of the 9th Missile Regiment of the US Army thought of the Chinese counterattack, they did not expect it to come so quickly and did not do anything at all.  After putting up too much resistance, the angry Chinese fighter jets ruthlessly attacked them

    "How's it going?" Gao Buping's heart became heavier with each passing second, and he asked again and again.  The entire early warning aircraft was filled with the sound of keyboards typing incessantly, and everyone was highly focused.  After hearing Gao Buping's question, a combat staff officer said: "The missile has been jammed, but the effect is not good! This missile is inertially guided and it is difficult to jam effectively."

    Since it is on the front line, there are no anti-missile systems or anti-aircraft guns deployed here. Now the task of intercepting missiles falls on the entire air formation.  And more importantly, the only thing the entire air formation can do is electronic jamming and spreading aluminum foil to interfere with the opponent's missiles

    The Minuteman-1 missile is indeed part of the German V-2 and embodies the essence of American guidance methods. The fixed-point electronic suppression and electronic deception of the air formation cannot achieve any effect at all.  After the Minuteman-1 missile entered the final attack target.  Everyone's mood ranged from heaven to hell.

    The paratroopers guarding the Manhattan Airport looked at the roaring Militia-1, emitting a scorching light, and everyone's heart felt like a knife.  How they wished they could intercept it, and even sacrificed their own lives for its attack.  However, those are just fantasies

    There was an explosion, flames shot into the sky, and smoke filled the air. Two or three soldiers were blown to pieces, and several soldiers were blown into the air.  Everyone present looked at this scene with surprised eyes. Four Minuteman-1 missiles whizzed past the airport and pounced directly on the terminal and the empty lawn not far away In an instant, all Chinese on the entire front line were  The soldier's suppressed mood suddenly burst out.  Many people threw their hats off in excitement. Some people may blame them for watching their comrades die indifferently.

    However, when you know that the missiles you just attacked happened to deviate from the runway and hit the terminal, you will feel happy because of this luck.  And temporarily forgot the death of his comrade.  Any missile has a landing point error. Even China's most mature missile cannot escape this fate. Maybe it is the electronic suppression just now that caused the error, or it may be its own reasons, but none of this is important anymore. What is important is  It is China's revenge that has begun.

    "Except Yunyan Squadron. The other squadrons are free to attack and cannot give the US Army any chance to counterattack!" Gao Buping, who had just escaped the disaster, happily hit his thigh in the early warning aircraft, and his face immediately became fierce.  road.

    Outside Manhattan, paratroopers riding in paratrooper assault vehicles and armored infantry fighting vehicles appeared in front of it.  And now Manhattan has become a group of bunkers armed to the teeth.  Laharl was not willing to accept his failure.  Although it suffered a fierce attack from the Chinese Air Force, the airport was successfully captured by the Chinese.  However, Lahar did not choose to escape. Instead, he ordered all the American troops outside the city to retreat into Manhattan and resist.

    "The U.S. Army is very defensive. They are constantly building fortifications and have not found any armored troops. They may hide the remaining Sherman tanks and some infantry fighting vehicles in the city. If we attack forcefully  , these things will cause us a lot of losses. Should we delay the attack?" The soldier's report made the captain hesitate.  Although the brigade he leads is a battalion.  But the U.S. Army troops guarding Manhattan were definitely not a battalion or a regiment.

    The intelligence made the captain very hesitant. If he did not attack, he would be disobeying the order. If he attacked, he would commit suicide.  At this time, the order from the front finger was also issued to him.  The front finger asked the parachute group to stop the attack on Manhattan and asked them to wait for reinforcements to cooperate with the attack.  This made the captain finally breathe a sigh of relief.

    At the same time, Manhattan Airport ushered in the first batch of landing troops. When the first Kunpeng from Hawaii successfully landed at Manhattan Airport, everyone finally relaxed a little.  According to the prepared plan, an anti-aircraft missile battery was transported from the first Kunpeng. When the anti-aircraft missile battery successfully drove out of the rear cabin of the aircraft, everyone present cheered.

    Large transport planes fell from the sky, tanks drove out of the cabin, and soldiers stepped off the plane. In the early hours of the morning, Manhattan Airport became the busiest airport in the world. The Chinese people used incredible power to tell the news to airports all over the world.  It turns out that landing can be fun like this. During this night, the entire airport was at 14.Within 2 hours, more than 180 aircraft took off on the two runways, transporting a Category A division and an anti-aircraft missile battalion to the Manhattan Airport in an organized manner.

    Time is money, time is victory.  The Chinese Air Force put all countries in the world to shame with its crazy speed. No wonder afterwards, British commentators said: "The Chinese can always break the Guinness record! They are telling us the limits of mankind!"

    In Manhattan, the Chinese did not give the U.S. Army too many opportunities to prepare. The airborne troops, led by ten Apocalypse tanks with various reduced loads, brutally rushed into Manhattan under the precise attack of fighter planes.  This originally peaceful and elegant town became a battlefield and a graveyard for soldiers.

    A Chinese soldier had just killed two American soldiers when he was shot through his neck by a US Army sniper hiding in the distance, and the sniper failed to escape.  Because the Apocalypse tank accompanying the infantry attack immediately gave him a shell, not even leaving any scum behind for him.

    Scenes like this abound throughout Manhattan. The Chinese soldiers were also surprised by the tenacity of the U.S. Army. In their opinion, the U.S. Army should be defeated in one fight.

    In the street battles in Manhattan, the Chinese army fully absorbed the experience of previous street battles. On the one hand, it used remote-controlled drones to search for a step-by-step attack method. On the other hand, it allowed paratroopers to use motorized parachutes to break into the city, pulling down the entire defense line of the US Army.  Eight scattered, and according to their laser guidance, the Yunyan squadron in the air was even more accurate.  Threatening firepower points and ammunition depots were hit repeatedly.  And most importantly, their intrusion turned the entire Manhattan defense battle into a melee.

    For the US military, the most desperate thing is the densely packed fleet of aircraft in the sky.  Countless scattered flowers kept falling.  The US military, which was suppressed miserably on the ground, could only watch more and more Chinese troops.

    In the Manhattan underground command post, an officer quickly ran to Lahar, who had been frowning and said: "General, leave quickly. There are Chinese soldiers everywhere in the city. It's too late if you don't leave"

    The words haven¡¯t been finished yet.  As soon as there was a "bang", everyone present turned their heads to look here, and the officer looked at the small pistol in Lahar's hand with disbelief in his eyes, and said with some reluctance: "Why  ¡­¡±

    The words are not finished yet.  Then I heard Lahar's ruthless voice: "Order all troops to hold their positions and organize a counterattack. Anyone who appears to escape or retreat, or shakes the morale of the army! Battlefield discipline will be enforced!" Lahar's words were shocking.  The whole place was silent. Some smart people immediately turned around and started busy, while those who were slow to react could only follow the trend, although they were in a mess.

    Rahal is very clear about the current situation and he has no way out.  Neither the capital nor other places could be contacted.  Lahar already felt that this was not the only place where the Chinese were attacking.  As for the situation in Manhattan, he has already rehearsed a series of situations happening here countless times on the sandbox or in his mind, although he has thought of many ways.  but.  He missed the most important part, which is the military quality and fighting spirit of the soldiers of the two countries, as well as their weapons and equipment

    Escape is a contagious virus, and surrender is also a contagious virus.  When a person who dares to eat crabs appears, then a second person will appear. In his heart, he will comfort himself that I still have a companion.  The third and fourth places will also appear in groups.

    ??Perhaps during the Anti-Japanese War in later generations, the appearance of so many traitors was also a contagious virus. In their view, when most people become bad people, then good people will become bad people.

    The U.S. Army surrendered very quickly. When the prisoners appeared in large numbers, it made the attacking Chinese troops a little uncomfortable. The brutal bloody battle just now became so easy; the enemy who was the enemy just now, now raised his own  Hands, and although you have a lot of anger, you can't vent it.

    Lahar also did not expect that in less than five hours, Manhattan would fall into the hands of the Chinese.  He did not surrender, nor did he embarrass most of the people in the underground command room. When he heard that the Chinese soldiers were attacking this place, he ordered his guards to kill some staff officers who knew important secrets, and ordered some unimportant ones.  People went out to surrender to the Chinese, delaying the rush of Chinese soldiers.  He succeeded. When the Chinese soldiers rushed in, he had destroyed all the information and instruments, then pointed the pistol at his temple and pulled the trigger.

    However, when everything became clear, when Eisenhower rushed to the ruins of Washington to organize a new government, the gold hidden in Manhattan had disappeared.
