Chapter 39 ‘Licking Attack’

 Inside the bridge of the Whidbey Island-class amphibious assault ship.

The view here is wide, and you can overlook Rockford Island directly ahead. Umbrella sailors in black uniforms are methodically operating this ship with a displacement of 16,000 tons.

"Unknown ships, please register your identity immediately! Otherwise we will take compulsory measures!"

At this time, angry questions and warnings came over the public channel radio. No need to guess, you knew that these warnings came from Rockford Island.

This Whidbey Island-class ship adopts the establishment of the U.S. Navy, so it was not expelled by Rockford Island during normal navigation. After all, Asifford cannot provoke the U.S. military for no reason.

However, when the Whidbey Island class suddenly changed its course and aimed at Rockford Island, Asifford, who suffered from mental illness and was a bit of a middle-aged man, couldn't sit still anymore and was ready to attack after giving a warning.<

/p>

The crew member in charge of communication equipment such as radios turned his head and looked towards the end of the bridge after hearing the warning, and asked for orders: "Sir, do you want to reply to them?"

Following the crew's gaze, they saw Sui Bian, wearing a white golf hat, white polo shirt, black casual pants and light gray sneakers, sitting where the captain should sit.

The captain, who has a white beard and a slightly stout figure and looks like an "old man", stands in the center of the bridge, dispatching combat troops to immediately board the plane, board the ship, and direct the ship's navigation.

Sui Bian, who is dressed in the same uniform as the crew and captain, is out of place. Rather than witnessing the complete fall of the Asifo family, it is better to say that he is here for a vacation, but...

One thing to say, the environment here is really good. The sea water is blue, the sky is clear, and the air is fresh, allowing Sui Bian to truly appreciate the beauty of nature.

In fact, wearing leather shoes and a suit was really uncomfortable, so Sui Bian wanted to change his dressing style.

"When will the attack formation arrive?" Sui Bian did not rush to give instructions to the correspondent, but asked rhetorically.

"Sir, wait a minute..." The crewman turned around and made some operations. After a while, he turned around again to report:

"Porcupine 1 is expected to arrive at the optimal location in thirty seconds, and the Vulture team is expected to arrive over our sea area in three minutes, and then 'clean' the targets missed by Porcupine."

"Okay." After learning the latest news, Sui Bian nodded lightly and gave instructions to the correspondent: "Ignore the warning from Rockford Island."

"Yes, sir." The crew member who received the order sat back down and directly 'blocked' the Rockford Island side.

Not long after the conversation ended.

Outside the bridge, about a thousand meters in the air.

An A-10 Thunderbolt 2 Jew Pig attack aircraft painted in gray and white just passed by the Whidbey Island-class amphibious assault ship where Sui Bian was located.

The painting of this A-10 still adopts the US Air Force layout. The wings on both sides are full of ground-attack missiles and bombs, and there are also two external fuel tanks that look like missiles.

In the cockpit.

When a pilot wearing a HUD helmet sees Rockford Island, his helmet will mark several red dots, indicating that those are the targets that must be solved first.

Immediately, the pilot reported in a somewhat dull voice due to wearing a respirator: "Poseidon (the name of the Whidbey Island-class ship), this is Porcupine 1. It is about to arrive at the best shooting position. Apply for permission to fire, over.



Bo Handong (still the crew member who talked to Sui Bian): "Received, approved to fire."

Pilot: "Roger that."

After receiving permission to fire, the pilot slightly adjusted the angle of the A-10's fuselage and used the HUD helmet to lock onto the four targets.

Then he fiddled with the console with his left hand, and used the thumb of his right hand to pop open the protective case on the control stick. At a glance, he knew that the red button that was the fire button appeared under the protective case.

Immediately afterwards, the pilot's right thumb pressed the red button.

"Click!"(x4)

"Whoosh!"(x4)

After pressing the button, the four missiles left the two wings of the A-10 one after another, and quickly ignited and flew forward.

The four missiles trailed white tail flames formed by the condensation of cold air when heated, and after moving away from the A-10, they rushed towards the four targets locked by the pilots at a speed of Mach 1.2.

Soon, a violent explosion occurred on Rockford Island, and four small mushroom clouds slowly rose.

"Boom——! Boom!" The violent noise caused by the explosion followed.

At this moment, the A-10 piloted by the pilot passed quickly over Rockford Island.

Seeing this, the pilot held the control stick with both hands, let the A-10 fly forward for a certain distance, then circled Rockford Island, and reported again:

"All four Mavericks (agm-65) have hit the target and are about to launch a suppressive attack on ground targets that pose a small threat."

Bo Handong: "Received."

End communication.

The pilot adjusted the flight angle of the A-10, pointed the nose of the aircraft at Rockford Island again, and then pulled a button similar to a gun trigger with his right index finger.

"Buzz buzz————~!"

The unique sound of the 30mmgau-8 Gatling cannon was heard along with the movement of the pilot's right hand.

Just looking at the fortifications, barracks, sentries, cages holding various B.O.W.s, and moving vehicles on Rockford Island, the soldiers were all bombarded by 30mm cannons.

"Click~click~" (x4).

While using the cannon to straf the ground, the pilot also used his experience to seize the opportunity to drop four mk82 bombs.

"Boom~! Boom!"

The smoke caused by the 227-kilogram explosion shrouded the barracks not far from the airport.

In less than two minutes, the four AGM-65 Mavericks, four MK82 bombs, and 450 rounds of 30mm aerial bombs carried by the A-10 were all destroyed.

Subsequently, the pilot controlled the A-10 to circle the smoke-filled Rockford Island for the last time, adjusting the direction and returning to the route:

"Bo Handong, this is Porcupine 1. All express delivery has been delivered to the receiving location and is ready to return to the African base. Over."

Bo Handong: "Received, thank you for your service, over."

After a "ground-licking" attack by an A-10, the defense facilities on Rockford Island were almost paralyzed, resulting in numerous casualties.

Air defense system?

Even if Alfred Asifot secretly controls Rockford Island, it is still an asset under Umbrella, so the Red Queen remotely shut down Rockford Island's air defense facilities a few minutes ago.

Without air superiority, when the A-10 appears in the sky, ground combat is basically useless.

Sui Bian had no intention of distinguishing which employees, researchers, security guards and USS reservists on the island were loyal to the company. After all, guns had no eyesight, and it was impossible to tell which ones were loyalists.

As for informing in advance? He didn't like to alert others, so he had to clear out all the people on the island.

While the A-10 gradually disappeared from sight, two AC-130s took the place of the A-10, preparing to assist the ground troops on the Wave Winter in a comprehensive cleanup of Rockford Island.
