I have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World - Chapter 1471

Chapter 1471: Unstoppable

Andrews Air Force Base, located 8 miles east of Capital, was where the Air Force One and helicopters used by the President were located. The main objective of this air force base was to provide rapid response capabilities to emergency situations that seriously endanger national security and to provide support for the Air and Space Expeditionary Force.

However, just a few minutes ago, a tungsten rod turned this place into ruins.

And it was the cause of the earthquake that just happened.

At this moment, downtown Capital.

The piercing alarm sounded throughout the city center, but it could not stop the fear in people’s minds.

Amid the sirens, police cars, explosion-proof vehicles, and armored vehicles rushed to the root of the chaos. They pushed away vehicles abandoned in the middle of the road and lined up on the highway to form a line of defense. The police force took out their pistols and Remington shotguns and squatted nervously beside the police vehicles. On the other side, the heavily armed anti-terrorist force that acted as the main defensive force was on guard. They raised their rifle and explosion-proof shield while their pupils under the helmet were laser-focused—

BANG!

A rocket overturned the armored vehicle parked in the middle of the road.

The police hiding nearby covered their head, but at this moment, there was an intensive wave of bullets that arrived from the other side of the street.

The dense bullets blew by like a storm and directly penetrated the hood and door of the police cars. There were countless police that got shot and fell onto the ground with bloody wounds. The prepared special forces had already started to return fire, but against the fierce firepower of the power armors, they were at a disadvantageous position from the very start, and they were pinned down in position.

The heavy machine guns on the armor vehicles were effective, but they were up against power armors. In front of agile single-soldier anti-tank weapons, the fragile armor was like a piece of paper, pierced easily by the Python rocket.

“This is BAKER1, this is BAKER1. We are under attack by the enemy’s armed forces! They are advancing towards the Lincoln Memorial, and we need reinforcement… FU*K! SH*T! WHERE THE FU*K IS OUR ARMY! When I signed up for this job, no one had told me I had to fight in a war—”

Curled up behind the police car, the middle-aged sergeant clung to the radio in his hand and his roaring voice sounded a little distorted.

His arms were covered with blood from the people next to him, and a bullet just grazed his forehead and left an open wound. He was only 1mm away from being shot in the head. The empty shell clanged and fell to the ground, but he didn’t dare to peek out behind cover again.

BOOM!

With a muffled sound, the special force soldier squatted next to him suddenly raised his head, then collapsed onto the ground. He screamed in fear when he saw the power armor that crossed through their defensive position. Mentally collapsed, he threw away his pistol and kneeled by the police vehicle with his head covered.

“I SURRENDER! I SURRENDER! I…”

After a long time, he tremblingly lifted his head from under his arms.

His face was completely red.

Maybe it was because he threw away his weapon, maybe it was because he was considered not a threat at all, in short, the Celestial Trade force simply ignored him. And only then did he realize that those people had already gone far…

The police in the Capital had never encountered such a scenario.

Against enemies that parachuted down, perhaps the police in Los Santos and Nouveau York would be slightly more experienced.

After all, they had at least rehearsed on set…

To deal with ordinary gangsters or terrorists, the well-trained police and special force were more than capable, but their enemy now was not any gangsters or terrorists, but a deadly force that sailed across the ocean seeking revenge…

On the other side, in downtown Capital, dozens of helicopters advanced rapidly from the air. Several fighter squadrons passed over the city. The F-22s and F-35s that took off from the military bases in the neighboring states collided with the formation of Aurora-20s and Wings of Freedoms.

As for why they came from the neighboring states, it was naturally because the previous tungsten rod blasted the fabled Andrews Air Force Base and the Air and Space Expeditionary Force stationed there into ruins.

But even if it was hit hard, even if everything happened too suddenly, after the orbital strike landed, the troops stationed near Capital responded as quickly as possible.

The two tank battalions of the 37th Armored Division rushed to the country’s top military command, and all the other combat units headed for the Rainbow House. However, unfortunately, the congested traffic on the highway became an impassable barricade, which caused most of these armored units to be blocked in the suburbs.

Forty-two CH-53Ds roared toward the city center as they transported special forces to be deployed in hot spots. On the other side, fourteen CH-47 Chinook helicopters took off in an emergency and deployed an armored company to the Lincoln Memorial by airlift; their mission was to stop the advancement of Celestial Trade power armors to the Rainbow House at all costs.

Lincoln Memorial.

This solemn memorial hall was not only a holy place for the UA people to cherish the memory of the late President Lincoln, but also a gathering place for political events. Not only did previous presidents deliver speeches here, but one day, several decades ago, Martin Luther King stood here and delivered his famous speech-“I Have a Dream.”

However, at this moment, the billowing smoke and the pungent smell of gunpowder had turned this place into a nightmare that everyone feared.

On the lawn outside the memorial hall, there was an unfinished trench. The National Guard of the Capital and the 11th Brigade 1st Battalion of the Marine Corps, who arrived here by helicopter, were stationed here.

The advancement of the orbital airborne brigade exceeded the expectations of the UA military. The UA soldiers stationed at the memorial hall were forced to engage with the orbital airborne brigade in the unfinished temporary fortification in a fierce exchange.

A volley of bullets swept over the sandbags and trenches, leaving bullet holes on the marble walls of the memorial hall. The original sacred place had become a bloody meat grinder, or to put it another way, a slaughterhouse…

…

“You told me our Tridents did explode!”

“I swear our Tridents did explode…”

“Then tell me, what’s the situation with those people outside?!” Mike Pence’s entire body was trembling because of anger and fear. With his right hand holding the phone, he yelled to the Secretary of Defense James Mattis. “Why are they in our capital!”

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.

James Mattis could not answer this question.

No one could explain why, why their twelve Trident missiles clearly hit the target, but Celestial Trade did not surrender. There were 96 nuclear warheads, and there was no country or organization that could survive after being hit by 96 nuclear warheads…

Since the War of Independence, no country had been able to send its army to this continent. Even if it happened, it only appeared in Hollywood blockbusters or the cinematics of AAA games. However, now when all this became a reality, Mattis did not know what to do.

After he took a deep breath, Mattis forcibly suppressed down the tremble in his tone and slowly said.

“Mr. President, Celestial Trade is advancing to the Rainbow House.”

“I have sent a special force to your location; you need to move immediately.”

“We will meet in Cheyenne Mountain Complex…”

Just when he called, an orbital airborne brigade of Celestial Trade had crossed the Arlington Memorial Bridge, which was only a 15-minute drive from the Pentagon. It was not only the President who had to move, he had to as well…
