Chapter 1,459 Raid on Barranquilla Port
On the evening of February 17th.
Just half an hour after Starring Trading announced its involvement in the Colombian War, the first thing to arrive on the battlefield was a strategic-level EMP intercontinental missile. Dazzling electric sparks flickered in the air for just a moment, and large areas of the brightly lit city fell into darkness.
Centered on the port of Barranquilla, the capital of northern Colombia, hundreds of miles in radius were hit by the EMP strike radius. Countless control systems of power stations and substations were burned down, and all public facilities such as homes, hospitals, and police stations were paralyzed.
Also hit by EMP was the NATO military base stationed near Barranquilla.
However, unlike civilian facilities, the impact on military facilities is not ideal.
Without any alarm, power was quickly restored to the NATO military base in Barranquilla after a brief two-hour power outage. Engineers repaired the damaged electronic equipment in an orderly manner, eliminated faults and replaced the damaged parts with new parts.
If the last strategic EMP strike caused the damage rate of the NATO coalition's electronic equipment to reach 90%, then this time it may be less than 13-15%.
Star Ring Trade had already anticipated such a situation, and Jiang Chen did not expect NATO to be stupid enough to fail twice with the same trick.
The miraculous effect in the last Colombian civil war was entirely because NATO had never encountered such a weapon and was caught off guard. This time, the NATO coalition forces used retired equipment such as old communication radios, and the damaging effect of EMP on analog circuits is far less obvious than on digital circuits. On the other hand, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon have provided solutions to the Pentagon, such as equipment such as "Faraday Spray", which has obviously had a certain effect.
However, the NATO coalition forces soon discovered that their speed of remedying the situation would never be able to keep up with the weapon development speed of the Star Ring Trade...
Just one hour after the EMP strike struck, the radar at the Barranquilla military base had returned to normal. The senior officers of the military base gathered in the command room and gathered in front of a map to discuss the battle plan.
In less than a day, they had successfully captured Highland 744 and advanced fifty kilometers towards Bucaramanga, a strategic town in southern Colombia. As long as Bucaramanga is captured, the entire northern end of the Andes will be back under their control, and the border supply line between southern Colombia and Venezuela will also be completely cut off.
However, at this moment, black dots suddenly appeared on the radar screen.
"Enemy flying units were found approaching! Two hundred and twenty in number, suspected to be ground attack missiles!" The observer sitting in front of the computer, wearing headphones, immediately reported to the commander behind him.
Eyes like an eagle narrowed, the American wearing a general's hat stared at the red dots approaching the military base on the big screen, and ordered in a deep voice, "Launch SLAMRAAM surface-to-air defense missiles to intercept!"
"yes!"
…
At the entrance of the military base, the NATO soldiers standing guard raised their heads and looked at the faintly flickering bright spot not far away.
"what is that?"
"Plane?" another soldier asked.
"Where did all these planes come from?"
At a rough count, there are about a hundred of them, and they are probably black technology weapons from the Star Ring trade.
However, what is confusing is that since they chose to "sneak attack" at night, the engine's tail flame is a bit too blatant. Or was it that they had no intention of hiding it from the beginning? But this is too underestimated the air defense system of the NATO coalition.
Even if the Aurora-20 dares to fly towards the face like this, it will be beaten to death by surface-to-air missiles and anti-aircraft cannons.
As if confirming the NATO soldier's guess, surface-to-air missiles took off one after another from the center of the military base, speeding towards the bright spots. As expected, the missiles hit their targets one after another.
Groups of fire exploded in the air, and the smoke screen of the explosion connected into one piece in the night sky. Looking at the flames exploding in the distance,
The soldier standing next to the checkpoint suppressed the muzzle of his gun, took out his telescope from his chest, looked at the airspace where the explosion occurred, and couldn't help but admire it.
"Shet...it's really spectacular."
However, at this moment, the soldier's expression suddenly changed wildly.
The comrade standing next to him didn't notice anything wrong with his expression. He just looked at the smoke screen of the explosion and asked casually.
"Aborted?"
Slowly putting down the telescope, the soldier stared at the sky, his eyes flashing with confusion and nervousness, and murmured.
"I'm afraid not..."
In the center of the military base, missile launch vehicles were parked in the open space, and all the missiles in the bomb nests had been launched. The engineers on the side pulled out the missile rack from the warehouse and began to reload the missile launch vehicle.
In the missile launch vehicle, the commander Blevins, who pressed the launch button, looked at the colliding red dots on the radar dial with a grin, and fist bumped with the co-pilot sitting next to him.
"Direct hit!"
"Nice shot - Shet! How is it possible!" Before he could finish his words, the commander suddenly lay down on the radar dial, staring at the rows of accelerating red dots in disbelief. The user was in disbelief. His tone said to himself, "This is impossible!"
This is impossible!
No aircraft can survive being hit by a SLAMRAAM surface-to-air missile! Even Aurora-20 is impossible!
The SLAMRAAM air defense system developed by Raytheon Company is known as the "Guardian of the Land". If it missed, Blevins couldn't believe it. He was hit in the face by a missile. This was close to more than 200 people. The aircraft is still safe and sound.
"Relock the target! Quick!" Blevins slapped the co-pilot suddenly, but there was no time for them to fire another missile salvo.
Not far from the missile launch vehicle, NS-90s slammed into the open space one after another.
The engineer who was reloading the missile hurriedly fell aside, and the nearby NATO soldiers also hurriedly lay down behind the bunker. Blevins buried his head under the steering wheel for a while before raising his head and looking out the window.
However, to everyone's surprise, the expected explosion did not happen.
Just when everyone was wondering if the "missile" of Star Ring Trade had misfired, they saw the black "iron coffins" moving as if they were alive. The steel plate armor faded away, exposing the mechanical skeleton covered under the armor.
A flash of red light lit up in the center of the spindle-shaped head, and then he spread his arms and popped out two rectangular automatic rifles. Without any warning, they sprayed terrifying tongues of fire at the NATO soldiers lying behind the bunker.
"Shet!"
Cursing secretly, Blevins jumped out of the missile launch vehicle. Almost at the same time he jumped out of the car, the flames of the explosion suddenly gathered, engulfing him and the missile rack next to him in orange-red flames.
"Here is... we are under attack... Ziziz... requesting support!"
"Ahhhh——!"
"Fake! Medic!"
People kept getting shot and fell down, and screams and explosions echoed one after another. The fired bullets created dazzling sparks on the NS-90, and the war machine shuttled in the line of fire, just like the T-800 in the fire.
The difference is that the former is more like a robot than the latter, but the same thing is that both come from the future...
And it was made by NATO itself.
The bloody massacre has just begun, and this encounter has transcended the scope of war.
Even if the exoskeleton is strengthened for the Star Ring trade, the M4A1 bullets cannot damage the NS-90 in the slightest.
The NS-90, which has fully entered the state, is indeed worthy of the name of "battlefield cleaner". Relying on the battlefield data provided by the Sky Eye X1 military satellite, each war robot is like a ghost on the battlefield. Whenever the orange firelight flashes, it is. A bloody splatter.
In this "zero distance" battle, even if the NATO coalition forces dispatch the M1A2 main battle tank, depleted uranium bullets can pose a threat to the NS-90's titanium alloy armor, but that is only if it can hit it.
Shocking bullet marks were all over every corner of the military base, and the flames of explosions flashed one after another in the military base, and they did not stop until dawn...
