With the entire Arctic region, Alaska, and most of Canada behind, attacks from the front gradually became less frequent.
After all, the air defense over country A's homeland is mainly handled by fighter jets. The main defense direction of the so-called national ballistic missile defense system is still in the Arctic, which is now far behind.
As for the terminal interceptors guarding the homeland, the North American Aerospace Defense Command discovered that, as a Navy captain described, they are ineffective unless they hit a large number of consecutive hits, so they might as well keep them to do their job.
Currently, four air formations belonging to country A's navy, air force and National Guard air force are on standby at an altitude of 15,000 feet above the US-Canada border. The North American Aerospace Defense Command is ambitious to conduct the largest and shortest salvo of Zuni rockets to give these aliens a look over Lake Superior.
Now everyone knows that the destination of these aliens is a place on the edge of Lake Superior, where there has already been an alien invasion.
As for Lake Superior local...
"Attention all personnel! Gather in the parking lot immediately and prepare to evacuate. The departments that have completed the personnel inventory will board the train and set off immediately." In the base's internal broadcast, a recorded broadcast is now being broadcast.
Several soldiers with military police armbands ran wildly in the corridor, opened every door in the corridor in turn, shouted "Is there anyone else?" and then turned around and left without waiting for a reply.
"Move faster. The target has reached the lake and is almost crossing the border. There are still five minutes at most! No! Three minutes!" The officer who was hiding somewhere on the intercom was still urging. "Red Ward retreat now!"
"Are you really going to retreat like this? Sir." The two guards guarding the prisoner area asked a little bit in disbelief that they would get such an order.
"Hell, don't do anything stupid." Their boss seemed to be shocked.
"Don't do anything, just let the alien captives stay there. Don't touch them, don't touch them. Listen up and retreat immediately. Their accomplices are coming soon, and you don't want to be prisoners. The prisoners must retreat immediately."
"Yes, sir!" The two guards could only agree. If one of them glanced at the crowded cells, he couldn't help but think of the days he spent in one of them.
"The lieutenant really looks down on people. Am I the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately? I am very kind, and everyone in my hometown of Chicago knows that."
After speaking, he avoided the camera lens and threw a bunch of keys in the middle of the corridor.
As soon as the two guards left the prison area, countless hands immediately reached out for the bunch of keys, but it seemed that each hand was just a little bit off.
As the last Humvee rushed out of the base gate, the secret base of Lake Superior was now empty. At least there is no earthling, but all the research equipment and the captured spacecraft core are still in place.
It didn't take a few seconds for the Giant Rat to appear on the horizon and arrive overhead. As it suddenly stopped over the base, a violent burst of thunder immediately enveloped the entire base.
The flying altitude of the Giant Rat is too low, and it has always maintained a speed of Mach 1.5. Its appearance is not aerodynamic at all. It is an exaggeration to say that the violent supersonic shock wave flying along the way has completely changed the terrain.
But it was an absolutely devastating blow to the vegetation and buildings on the ground. The only good thing was that it did not pass through any big cities, and the casualties directly caused were still within an acceptable range.
Facing Lake Superior, with a mountain peak at its back, the terrain is relatively open. The shock wave swept across the surface of the empty building, tearing the camouflage of the entire building to pieces, and the various barbed wire fences around the building also They all fell to the ground. But that's it for the time being. The building at the base is protected against nuclear attacks.
"Attack!" Count Togram gave the order in a hoarse voice. Except for the Destruction, the other three battleships landed immediately, and the knights on the ship - except for the captain - all jumped up and fell directly towards the building and entered the battle.
This is an all-or-nothing battle, and the goal is still to find and eliminate the knights among the natives of this planet, and also to collect supplies, so it is not only the knights who need to be dispatched, but also the ordinary crew members, that is, the followers of those knights.
"We didn't miss any ships just now, did we? Captain Ransisk." When there were no other knights around, Earl Togram was still very gentle towards his cronies.
"I promise not, my lord!" Count Togram was referring to the lake he had just crossed. If there was a boat on the lake that passed by almost in a flash, it would be difficult to detect it immediately with the naked eye, but Captain Ransisk Didn't worry about that.
"I can sense that all the spacecraft cores have not been activated yet. They should still be in the building ahead. Our gains this time will be quite big, but I am afraid we still can't find the opponent's knights."
"Where are the other spaceship cores?"
"On the other side of the planet, I'm afraid."
At the same time, a clear radio wave quietly spread throughout the four formations in the sky.
"The attack starts with a one-minute interval and enters from the direction of the lake. The order is wasp, eagle, falcon, and thunder."
Below is the surface of Lake Superior, and the target is on the shore of the lake. The huge figure shines with a faint halo, which is not too obvious.
All Super Hornets are loaded with Zuni rockets, each with 4 launch nests and 4 rockets in each nest, a total of 16 rockets. A team of 4 aircraft is equivalent to 64 Zuni rockets with a diameter of 127 mm.
Only the last two Canadian Air Force aircraft used 7 rocket nests, but they only brought two launch nests each, which means that the last two Canadian Air Force aircraft only had 28 rockets.
But this is enough. The Hornets leader believes that the Navy of Country A can complete today's mission without the need for the Canadian Air Force, and may even be able to do it with just his first team.
In fact, the leader of the Wasp team guessed it right. When the first team of the Wasp team entered the 8-kilometer range of the damped rocket in a standard 4-dart formation and opened fire immediately, the Giant Rat's protective shield almost immediately collapsed again. .
The continuous launch of four rocket nests takes less than a few seconds. Although 16 rocket nests from four aircraft cannot be launched accurately at the same time, they cannot extend the entire launch time to 10 seconds.
The Giant Rat's protective cover could only hold on until half of the rockets fell on its head, and then it collapsed. At this moment, the Hornet leader was confused by the dazzling tail flames of the rockets, which confused the night vision goggles.
