Chapter 10: Newcomers guard the capital, cute fingers make their debut

1982/3/8

"How's it going? Was it successful?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Prime Minister, the fun has just begun."

In the Mengjun Air Defense Command, the operators started a day of intense and orderly work as usual. Their fingers danced lightly on the keyboard, their eyes were fixed on every data change on the screen, ready to respond to any emergency situation that might occur. However, they did not realize that this day, this moment, might become the most special and unforgettable day in their careers.

Suddenly, a hurried voice broke the silence of the command center. The operators quickly adjusted their status and listened attentively to the message. "S-B, please note that we have found 70 enemy aircraft approaching your position. Please confirm immediately." The voice on the other end of the communication was a little nervous and anxious.

However, the response from the S-B base was surprising. "Don't be ridiculous, headquarters, we haven't received any signal at all, everything is normal." The operators looked at each other, feeling an inexplicable uneasiness in their hearts.

"Yes, maybe the ACS module of a satellite is faulty." Someone tried to ease the tense atmosphere with a relaxed tone, but his words revealed concerns that were difficult to conceal.

"S--B, please wait a moment. We are working hard to troubleshoot the system failure." The voice from headquarters sounded increasingly serious.

However, after an intense investigation, S-B Base received another shocking message: "Headquarters, after repeated confirmation, we have indeed found no trace of any enemy aircraft. Everything is normal."

At this time, the atmosphere in the headquarters had reached a critical point. The operators were becoming increasingly uneasy, as if something was about to happen.

At this moment, another voice broke the silence. "Z-X-6, please note that we have detected about 100 enemy aircraft in your area. Please respond immediately." The voice on the other end of the communication was full of anxiety and tension.

However, the reply from Z-X-6 Base was equally disappointing. "No, headquarters, our radar did not detect any enemy. I don't know what happened, could it be solar interference? The sunspot activity is indeed very active today."

The atmosphere in the headquarters became increasingly tense. The operators began to feel an unprecedented pressure, as if an invisible hand was quietly approaching.

At this moment, a hurried communication voice sounded again. "S-D, our ACS system may have some minor malfunctions. Have you detected any abnormalities?"

However, the response from the S-D base was alarming. "A large number of enemy planes have been spotted!!! They are everywhere, and I don't know where they came from!"

There was an uproar in the headquarters. The operators cried out in surprise and looked at the data on the screen in disbelief.

"S-D, please reply immediately!! We need more information!" The voice from headquarters was filled with anxiety and eagerness.

However, the response from the S-D base was even more despairing. "The I-95 airspace is full of enemy planes. How did they get in? Our defense line was totally unaware!"

The atmosphere in the headquarters has reached its peak. The operators have solemn expressions, and their hearts are filled with anxiety and fear. They know that this day, this moment, is no longer part of their daily work.

"Prepare for deployment! Contact the nearest combat unit immediately!" The voice of the headquarters commander echoed in the command center.

"Roger that, this is Commander Major Scott. Headquarters received? Over."

"Attention all units, enter combat status immediately! The satellite surveillance system has failed, and the sound detection system and Pave Paws long-range radar are also inoperable. We must rely on our own strength to defend our homeland!"

The operators took action one after another, executing the commander's orders in a tense and orderly manner. They knew that at this moment, they would no longer be just ordinary operators, but the guardians of North American air defense and the last line of defense to protect their homeland.

The third war has begun!

————————Washington——————————

"Due to the sudden failure of the satellite early warning system, our carefully arranged defense line was torn open. Most of the commanders who relied on satellite guidance for combat command were caught off guard by the Soviet army's air strikes and missile bombings without warning, and died one after another. What's more serious is that the Soviet army has not stopped their offensive. A large number of Kirov airships, tanks and naval forces are rapidly approaching Washington, intending to capture the heart of this country in one fell swoop."

"Damn, how many commanders in Washington are still capable of taking over now?" General Cavilli asked anxiously.

"The situation is not optimistic, General. We now have no more than three commanders in Washington, and among them, there is probably only one who has rich combat experience." The adjutant replied heavily.

"You mean Commander Reyes?"

"That's him, General. Lieutenant Colonel Reyes is our backbone, but the situation is so dire that I'm afraid he alone can't turn the tide."

"Adjutant, is there any other bad news?" General Caveri's voice was filled with fatigue and helplessness.

"Reporting to the general, Vandenberg Air Force Base has also been attacked fiercely by unknown armed forces. There are almost no survivors in the base, and the Peacekeeper missiles have also been destroyed. This is one of our important defense forces, but now it has disappeared."

"Also, the Florida naval base was raided by the Soviet fleet. Our navy suffered heavy losses, many warships were sunk, and the remaining forces had to evacuate."

"What's worse is that a large number of Soviet tanks have entered Colorado. We have lost contact with the air force base there and don't know what their current situation is. We currently have no air force production line."

"What about the production lines of Abrams and Skyfire tanks? Can our output meet the needs of the front line?" the general asked anxiously.

"Due to the shortage of raw materials and technical bottlenecks, our production lines are limited and the output is seriously insufficient. At present, we can only barely meet the needs of the front line, but if the Soviet army continues to intensify its offensive, I am afraid we will not be able to sustain it."

"Is there any other information?" General Kaveri's voice was a little hoarse.

"According to the latest intelligence, a large number of Su troops are approaching New York, and their intentions are unclear. In order to strengthen New York's defense, the Thunder Claw Squadron has been sent to New York for support."

"Report completed, General. What should we do now?" The adjutant looked at General Caveri, waiting for his instructions.

General Kaveli was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "Pass my order, have all the troops that can still fight enter combat status immediately and hold their positions. But if the enemy's strength is too different from ours, retreat immediately. We can no longer afford any losses. At the same time, contact Ou Meng and the Pacific Front immediately and ask for their assistance. We must unite to resist the attack of the Su army."

"Yes, sir!!!" After saluting, the adjutant began to prepare the defense line.

At this time, Scott was standing in front of Kaveli. Kaveli looked at the commander who had just graduated from the military academy and said helplessly.

"Major Scott, although I don't want to do this, you are one of the few survivors who can survive the attack of the Su army. This time it is you and Reyes who will defend Washington together."

Scott didn't say anything, just saluted and left to arrange the troops' defense.

"Oh, there are so many things happening today. I hope I won't hear any more bad news." General Kaveli smoked a cigarette and looked at the sky outside with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

——————Combat control system connected————

"Hello, you must be Scott, I'm Lieutenant Colonel Reyes, you should all know our mission."

"Ah."

"Okay, your troops are the 704th Infantry Regiment and the 233rd Armored Battalion. I have secured permission for you to take control of an outpost. Your mission is to guard the landing point C near you, while I will guard points A and B. At the same time, you and I also need to pay attention to dealing with the airborne troops of the Su Army."

"Understood, Lieutenant Colonel."

"By the way, I am transferring the two companies of the 502nd Armored Battalion to you. I hope you can make good use of them."

"Understood, Lieutenant Colonel."

"Good luck, kid."

When Mengzhi led his troops to the outpost, he was pleasantly surprised to find that there were not only barracks, but also tank factories, mining plants, and rich mining resources. Scott had the authority to build T1-level defense buildings, and the outpost also had enough defense towers and thick walls, which gave Scott enough sense of security.

Mengzhi took action immediately. He knew that time was running out and he had to seize strategic points quickly. He ordered the infantry to quickly occupy the buildings near point C to ensure better vision and fire support in the subsequent battles. At the same time, he began to quickly deploy resources, train soldiers, and manufacture Bulldog jeeps and Bulldog tanks. These powerful armored forces will become their indispensable weapons in the next battle.

At this time, several traveler transport boats came ashore from the landing point, bringing more shocking reinforcements. Eight powerful Abrams tanks and two Skyfire anti-aircraft tanks drove down from the landing craft one after another, and their arrival made Mengzhi very excited.

"Great, it's the Abrams!!!" Moe Finger shouted excitedly. He was full of admiration and love for these advanced tanks, as if he saw the dawn of victory. Eva quickly pulled him aside and reminded him to stay calm. Otherwise, Moe Finger would hold on to the Abrams and not let go.

Afterwards, Meng Zhi quickly organized his troops and built a solid defense line on the beach and nearby bridges. He took advantage of the terrain and arranged a bunker defense line to ensure that the enemy could not easily break through.

However, just when Mengzhi had just completed the defense line arrangement, an alarm suddenly sounded.

"The Su army is coming, everyone get ready for battle!!!" Mengzhi shouted loudly.

The first to come over were the Su Army's transport planes, which circled in the air, ready to deploy troops. The anti-aircraft missiles of the Fighting Dog Jeeps and the heavily armed soldiers were ready, and the Skyfire's laser cannons were also aimed at the sky. When the transport planes began to deploy troops, the anti-aircraft firepower erupted instantly, shooting down the enemy planes one by one.

At the same time, Point A was also attacked fiercely by the Su Army. The Destroyer vehicles and Bison landing craft began to land on the beach, and the Su Army infantry and tanks quickly launched a charge after landing. However, they were soon stopped by the bunker defense line carefully arranged by Reyes. The firepower of the Meng Army poured out crazily behind the defense line, defeating the Su Army one by one.

However, the battle did not end there. The Su Army had already landed a large number of paratroopers in downtown Washington, and they began to attack civilians and garrisons everywhere in the city. Seeing this, Scott immediately ordered a group of Pitbull jeeps and two Abrams tanks to deal with these paratroopers. Soon, the Su Army's paratroopers were killed one by one by the Pitbull heavy machine guns and Abrams laser cannons.

However, just when Scott thought the battle was about to end, a shocking piece of news came.

[Warning, a large number of Soviet Kirov airships are attacking]

Seeing this news, Moezhi and Reyes' hearts stopped instantly. They knew the power of Kirov airships, and if they were allowed to approach Washington, the consequences would be disastrous. So the two began to produce heavy-armored soldiers and dog jeeps to prepare for the upcoming air raid.

Soon, accompanied by a voice that made everyone's heart and lungs stop, the Kirov airship came into range.

"Fire!!!" the two men gave the order at the same time.

Soon, lasers and missiles flew towards Kirov, and Kirov fell one after another. The Su army also sent landing troops to attack the defense line in waves.

"Scott, please note that a Su Army mobile construction vehicle has been deployed near your outpost. You must capture or destroy it as soon as possible."

"give it to me."

After saying that, Mengzhi trained several engineers and put them into the fighting dog. Then, under the cover of other fighting dogs and two Abrams, they successfully rushed into the enemy camp and painted all the Soviet buildings.

"Good afternoon, both commanders. Sorry we are late. Thunder Claw Squadron is here to support us."

Seeing the more than 20 Abrams and Skyfire tanks coming, they both breathed a sigh of relief. But Mengzhi suddenly asked, "Isn't the Thunder Claw Squadron going to New York? Why are they here?"

The intelligence officer, who was looking at the map of Washington with New York marked on it, replied nervously, "Well, the situation in New York is very good now, and this batch of reinforcements is no longer needed."

(It is obvious that the intelligence officer marked the map incorrectly)

After half an hour of defense, the Su Army's offensive had obviously weakened. At this time, the Navy's Enterprise-class aircraft carrier fleet had also arrived. In the sky, the Meng Army's transport planes were airdropping infantry to provide a steady stream of reinforcements for the ground forces. There were even a few Abrams main battle tanks to support them. Although these tanks looked a bit old, their firepower was still strong.

"Why are these Abrams so old?" Mengzhi asked in surprise.

"This is the original model given to the military academy and has been in service for six years now," the intelligence officer explained.

Hearing this, Mengzhi couldn't help but sigh: "Are we so poor that we have to use prototypes?" But he knew that now was not the time to sigh. They needed to rely on these forces to hold on to Washington.

With the help of reinforcements, the Su army that attacked Washington was completely wiped out. The joy of victory was overflowing on the faces of every Meng army soldier. Mengzhi and Reyes hugged each other tightly, celebrating this hard-won victory.

"Well done, Commander, you defended Washington!" General Caveri's praise made Mengzhi feel extremely proud and satisfied.

"Oh my god, I can finally take a break." Mengzhi let out a long sigh, and the tension and pressure in his heart were released at this moment.

"It's a pleasure to work with you, Major, but I have to go to support other battlefields. I hope we can work together again one day." Reyes said to him.

"Of course, Lieutenant Colonel, I look forward to seeing you next time." Mengzhi replied. They all knew that the war was far from over, Washington was just the beginning, and they still needed to continue fighting until the final victory came.
