The operation is codenamed Punishment.
The combat mission is simple—control the Philippine Presidential Palace, Congress, Supreme Court, Department of Defense, and other important facilities, and capture the war criminal Aquino IV, Defense Minister Marshal Stark, and military advisor Moritz from Germany.
The Moro Kingdom dispatched a reinforced airborne brigade of 3,000 people, and Star Ring Trading dispatched an airborne brigade of 2,000 people and a drone attack group composed of 8,000 Hummingbirds to launch an attack on Manila, the capital of the Philippines. Large-scale airborne operations.
There are only twenty-four hours.
At 3 a.m. on July 23, a Dolphin-10 ballistic missile was launched from an undersea missile silo deployed in the Western Pacific and detonated in the airspace of central Luzon Island. The EMP hit covered most of Luzon, causing a complete power outage in Manila and completely paralyzing traffic.
Subsequently, the Aurora-20 flew into the airspace and started a fierce battle with the 10 F22s and 5 F35s that took off, completely seizing the air superiority over Manila.
The Sea Lion special forces subsequently landed on Luzon Island and penetrated and destroyed Patriot 3 and other air defense systems, clearing the way for the airborne troops.
When everything was ready, two brigades of airborne troops set off from the Davao Port Airport and arrived over Luzon Island at 5 a.m. to begin a large-scale airborne operation called "Punishment."
30 IL-76 transport aircraft were responsible for the paratrooper delivery mission.
From a long time ago, Jiang Chen, through Natasha, ordered this large transport aircraft from Russia at a unit price of 20 million US dollars to quickly deploy combat units. Although there are better aircraft available in the apocalypse, those things remain on the drawing board for the time being. The current production capacity of the future military industry is temporarily insufficient to achieve large-scale mass production.
In order to reduce civilian casualties, Jiang Chen specifically set the start time of the battle at night.
Before 12 noon, it is the United Nations' deadline for the warring parties. As long as the Philippine command system is disintegrated before 12 noon, the President of the Philippines and half of the members of Congress are captured, and they are forced to sign a surrender agreement immediately, the war can be declared over.
With the defeat of the Philippines, a ceasefire between the two sides was achieved!
…
The roar of the engine and the sound of cold wind blowing outside the steel casing.
With its back against the cold cabin, inside the IL-76 transport plane, two rows of fully armed soldiers sat neatly.
The jet-black exoskeletons armed them to the teeth, and the ink-colored glass on the digital helmets exuded a fierce murderous aura.
The fuselage shook violently, and the nose of the plane raised slightly. The signal lights in the cabin lit up one after another, and the fingers neatly opened the safety, and then opened the nylon buckle behind him.
At this moment, it has reached the sky above Manila.
The commander walked to the center of the cabin, stretched out his hand to pull the hook, and stood there steadily, making the final mobilization.
"... The monkeys detonated a nuclear bomb in their own city. Now, let's catch the person who pressed the button. Land, confirm the location, lock the target, shoot, kill the one with the gun, don't shoot the civilians! Advance towards the mission goal, that is So easy! Now, check your gear and get ready to go!”
What responded to him was a uniform roar.
There was no need for mobilization at all, and everyone’s morale was high.
The Philippines must pay the price for the 431 brothers who died in the nuclear explosion. The blood debt must be paid with blood! Every soldier's eyes flashed with hatred.
The signal light turned from red to green, and the cabin door slowly opened.
Above the clouds, two fighter planes roared past.
Air waves rolled into the cabin, and through the layers of white clouds, one could clearly see tracer bullets from anti-aircraft guns firing into the air, in vain to drive away the aurora ravaging the airspace. Not far away, the 31st Airborne Brigade of the Moro Kingdom had begun parachuting, and parachute bags filled the sky.
Land in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, and end this war within 24 hours!
"Now! Jump! Quick!"
Amid the commander's roar, soldiers wearing exoskeletons jumped out of the cabin one after another.
Unlike the paratroopers of the Moro Kingdom, they airborne to a height of about 200 meters. The slow-descent device mounted on the back of the exoskeleton was activated, and a faint blue fire spurted out. The paratroopers of Starlink Trading cut off the parachute behind them, and directly under the buffer of the short-distance rocket injector, they stepped heavily on the cement road or high-rise buildings. the top of.
It was already dawn, and under the high-rise buildings, the citizens of Manila were screaming and running away. Traffic was in chaos as early as the first round of emp strikes. When paratroopers began to airdrop, the entire city was in chaos. Even the police in Manila dropped their guns and batons and joined the fleeing crowd, running towards the subway station.
Occasionally, one or two blind patriots picked up their pistols and were quickly targeted and killed by the drones that landed first.
Anyone holding a weapon will be considered a combatant!
Moro paratroopers were the first to land and immediately engaged in a firefight with the Philippine 11th Guards Brigade and Philippine anti-terrorism forces arriving from near Manila. The flames of the explosion filled the streets of Manila, and broken down armored vehicles were abandoned haphazardly on the roadside.
After landing, the soldiers of the Star Ring Trade immediately opened the holographic map on the digital helmet. The nearest assembly point and attack route were drawn up by the quantum computer's AI and marked intuitively on the holographic map. Everyone entered in the shortest possible time. into combat status.
The Philippine soldiers who rushed to the city to provide support instead became the party that responded hastily.
No one expected that Star Circle Trade would come up with such a radical and risky strategy and airborne two brigades directly to Manila instead of concentrating on clearing out the guerrillas on Mindanao Island.
During the war, Starlink Trading used crawler robots for the first time in the war as an infantry fire support platform, using short-range rockets and small-caliber grenades to pour firepower on Philippine soldiers.
The two sides fought in shopping malls, bus stations, highways, office buildings and other places, competing for control of the city's main traffic arteries.
The battle was extremely brutal.
Because the battle took place in the city and in the capital, the Philippines was unable to use artillery to support the frontline troops. It could only dispatch armored battalions stationed nearby and send tanks and armored vehicles to clear out the Moro airborne troops.
However, the control of the air lies in the hands of Star Ring Trade.
Facing the rain of bullets falling from the sky, the Philippine ground units were like chickens under the talons of an eagle, and could only flee in panic.
As long as it is marked on the map, an aerial bomb or a machine gun will soon fly over and blast it into a pile of scrap metal.
In order to avoid being locked by the Aurora-20, a Philippine armored vehicle reversed directly into the Philippine National Bank. However, the air-to-surface missile still hit the target, and the flames of the explosion blew the entire bank door into pieces.
In order to end the battlefield battle as soon as possible, Star Ring Trading no longer cares about civilian casualties.
Anyway, he participated in the war as a mercenary, and in the end it was the Moro Kingdom that took the blame.
What's more, the Philippine government itself doesn't care...
In addition to investing a brigade of troops, Starlink Trading also airdropped a thousand drone hives to Manila, released a total of 8,000 Hummingbird drones, and programmed sixteen drone swarms to eliminate Philippine ground units. .
These drone swarms are like passing locusts, causing chaos wherever they pass.
Looking down from space, the entire Manila seems to have been ravaged by fire. The smoke of war has burned from the suburbs to the city center, burning into the square in front of the presidential palace Malacañang, and burning into the hiding place of Aquino IV and other senior officials. Underground bunker…(.)
