Chapter 31, The Second Battle of Manhattan
Under the light of dawn, the cold winter wind howled head-on, bringing a pungent smell mixed with gunpowder smoke.
The air around me was trembling, and the sky in the distance seemed to be burning.
Gun barrels and wisps of gunpowder glistening with cold metal suddenly appeared from every corner of New York City, and all kinds of deafening roars were heard endlessly, making Manhattan Island, which seemed mild and harmless just a moment ago, suddenly turned into a vertical bird. A giant hedgehog full of spikes.
Thousands of missiles, bombs, rockets, artillery shells and laser beams shot from all directions, frantically bombarding the giant ship that suddenly appeared.
As a result, the menacing dark elf space battleship was submerged by overwhelming explosions just as it landed on Manhattan Island, New York.
The U.S. Army, the National Guard, and S.H.I.E.L.D., who had been preparing for the battle all night but were never able to use it, took into account the painful lessons of the last Manhattan battle. Launched a saturation attack that covered the sky and the sun!
Although this level of fire bombardment could not break through the energy shield of a space battleship at all, the whole scene still looked spectacular.
What's worse, facing the indiscriminate bombardment of the human army, the dark elves actually lacked the weapons to fight back.
——Of course, this does not mean that the dark elves who can cross the star sea are inferior to the human beings who have not yet completely shaken off the shackles of gravity in terms of military technology.
But the problem is that the dark elves at this time are just a group of remnants of subjugated countries. They have long been inferior to chickens and phoenixes, and they cannot be compared with their powerful days.Their last remaining spaceship is not so much a space battleship as it is a military landing ship. It is not equipped with large ship-mounted weapons such as ship-mounted main guns. Orbital bombing" and other big killers in space warfare.
As a result, in the hands of the Dark Elf leader Malekith at this moment, apart from the individual firearms of the soldiers on the ship, there were only four razor-shaped Dark Elf fighter jets left.And to release these fighter jets from the hull, the protective shields had to be lifted temporarily.Obviously, in this short unprotected gap, the dark elves' warships must endure a lot of firepower.If it was a dark elf in its heyday, it would naturally not care about such trivial matters.But at present, this kind of old ship hull that has been sealed for thousands of years may not be able to withstand the intensive bombardment of the earthlings.
In fact, the strength of the dark elf battleship lies mainly in its speed, flexibility and stealth ability, rather than its armor and firepower.
In the plot of "Thor 2", the reason why these remnants of the dark elves who have subjugated the country for thousands of years, can turn upside down the Asgard God Realm of the Asir protoss with their extremely weak power is the careful planning. Preparing for the unprepared, first send people to sneak into God's Domain secretly, break the prison, release the prisoners of war, and create a chaotic scene.Then they sent fighter jets to sneak into Asgard by surprise, execute the beheading plan, causing a lot of damage, and even retreated in time after a successful blow, so that the Asa army that had assembled its forces to counterattack was thrown into the air.
The entire combat process was like the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in the Pacific War, making full use of the opponent's insensitivity, it was completely fast in and fast out, and it was just a time difference.But even so, of the four razor-shaped fighter jets of the Dark Elf, three fell, and only one survived.And there were not many dark elf soldiers in the first place, and more than half of them were killed or injured at once. In fact, they had no capital to launch the next surprise attack.
However, out of extreme contempt for the people on Earth—the dark elves' understanding of the people on Earth is probably still at the level of those primitive tribes thousands of years ago, so this time they landed directly without using any complicated tricks. In the middle of the earth's firepower net.In this way, it is as if a top assassin or ninja master gave up his proud stealth skills and rushed directly into the enemy's formation with a dagger.Or let 007 agent James.The scene where Bond goes to snatch the iron-blooded tough guy Rambo... Anyway, he is absolutely in a mess, and he can't do it at all.
In short, in the eyes of the citizens of New York, the aliens who attacked the earth this time seemed to be beaten as soon as they came out. They were really weak...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"... This scene is really... so lively! So many troops appeared in the urban area, could it be that you arranged it overnight?"
Standing on the top floor of the Stark Industrial Building, overlooking the scorching scene of artillery fire not far away, "Kryptonian" Wang Qiu couldn't help but speak out.
This topic is obviously a bit embarrassing, because anyone with a discerning eye can tell that in the face of the sudden appearance of alien spaceships, it is impossible for human counterattack forces to be dispatched so quickly.So many troops emerging from Manhattan could only have been used to guard against Wang Qiu and his party.
However, all of you present are old fritters who have experienced ups and downs. Since the other party didn't directly point it out, then my own side also didn't change face and heartbeat, and passed by casually.Only the upright Captain America Rogers.Steve, relatively thin-skinned, "...uh, this...we have also taken some basic precautions, and it doesn't mean any malice... After all, it is not far from the last war..."
"...It's okay, we can understand this." "Krypton Superman" Wang Qiu waved his hands generously, and said indifferently, "...However, I see that although your side is having a lively fight, it's okay That battleship doesn't seem to have caused much damage!"
Indeed, the indiscriminate bombing on the American side, which seemed to be the clearance of the arsenal, seemed to be vigorous, but in fact it did not hurt a few hairs on the alien warships, and they were all blocked by the protective shields.It's just that the alien warships were only beaten and didn't fight back, so it seems that the human side has the upper hand.
Sure enough, after being beaten for a while, the alien warship finally made a new move—the invisible energy shield that originally protected the hull began to fall slowly, and the shells and missiles fired by the earthlings finally exploded on the surface of the warship, obtaining The first real achievements were made.
However, before the U.S. military and S.H.I.E.L.D. were happy, the alien counterattack began.
——Accompanied by the ear-piercing whistling sound and the spray of tail flames, one after another dark elf fighter jets took off from the mothership to attack, and then disappeared without a trace in the air before the enemy could take aim.Although all the U.S. officers and soldiers on the ground opened their eyes wide and searched the sky above them over and over again, they couldn't find anything except the tremors in the air. They could only fire aimlessly into the sky, hoping to hit the sky. Great luck.
"...It seems that something is flying out of the enemy ship! But I can't see it at all...It must be the same for everyone else."
Standing on the top floor of the Stark Industries building, S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick.Fury held up his binoculars to look down at the battle situation, and couldn't help but frown, "...are there any responses from the radar, thermal imaging equipment, and ultrasonic positioning equipment?" He turned his head and asked a subordinate behind him.
"...Unfortunately, nothing was found on the radar and thermal imaging equipment. The ultrasonic positioning equipment has not had time to activate..."
"...What a tough guy..." Nick said.Fury muttered softly. In fact, SHIELD also has similar stealth technology. On their floating aircraft carrier, they installed an invisible board with similar functions. Relying on the camouflage technology of live projection, it can make the floating aircraft carrier even if it is rampant. Above New York, the entire population remains in the dark.The coating materials that absorb electromagnetic waves can also make the floating aircraft carrier invisible on the radar.However, the heat released by the engine operation of the floating aircraft carrier cannot be hidden, but the alien fighter in front of him has achieved this.
Next, these invisible killers in the sky quietly appeared over the exposed US firepower points, and with the crossfire of machine guns, anti-aircraft guns and shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles, they dropped one after another. black hole bomb.
In an instant, anti-aircraft guns, armored vehicles, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and American soldiers were all sucked into the temporary black hole created by the bomb, and disappeared without a trace in an instant!
What's even more frightening is that even the skyscrapers near the battlefield were bitten off by the black hole bomb of the dark elves, and they suddenly became crumbling.
And as one after another ground firepower points were wiped out one after another, the artillery fire used to keep suppressing the dark elf warships was also greatly weakened.
Although the U.S. military and S.H.I.E.L.D. were not to be outdone, they dispatched armed helicopters in an attempt to start air combat with the Dark Elves' fighter jets.But clumsy and slow helicopters cannot deal with swift and sensitive alien fighters at all.And jets can't fight between skyscrapers with complex terrain...
So, with the changing hands of the battlefield air supremacy, the dark elf battleship, which had been suppressed by firepower, finally got a chance to breathe, and then quickly opened the hatch, released their dark elf fighters, and launched a fierce battle with the American infantry on the street .
"...It seems that it is our turn to play, isn't it?" Facing the gradual decline of the human side, Thor shrugged his shoulders, and the Thor's hammer in his hand swung round and began to rotate, and then dragged Immediately, the whole person flew out in the direction of the dark elf battleship.
The next moment, there was an explosion of thunder in the smoky sky, and a figure in a red cloak roared towards the ground amidst a blazing thunder and lightning. turf and soil.Then, Thor, the God of Thunder, took his lightning-flashing Thor's Hammer, stepped out of the big hole he made, roared and killed the dark elf soldiers who had just rushed out of the battleship.
"...Hey! Hey! Dude, this is my place! You can't beat me to it! I'll be laughed at!"
Looking at Thor who was taken away by Thor's Hammer, Iron Man Tony, who felt deeply that he had been robbed of the limelight, yelled, followed by tapping his toes, and the whole person flew out of the building abruptly, and then activated Iron Man The propellers on the armor quickly flew towards the chaotic battlefield.
Next, Professor Banner, who is an important combat force, also talked to Nick.Director Fury went to the battlefield together in the Quinjet fighter jet of S.H.I.E.L.D., and then turned into a Hulk, launching a violent crushing blow to the dark elves.Only Captain America, Black Widow Natasha, and a group of "non-combatants" who just returned to Earth in the [space lifeboat] are still guarding the top floor of the Stark Industrial Building, staring at Wang Qiu and the others. .
Obviously, they were left to watch and guard against Wang Qiu and his party.After all, although the previous relationship was quite pleasant, the time was too short, and it was difficult for these superheroes to truly regard Wang Qiu and his "Kryptonians" as friends like Thor, who is also an alien.
"... Sigh, it really makes my hands itchy to see the fight going on like this!"
After a moment of silence, Wang Qiu smiled and extended his hand to Captain America, "...do you want us to go down together and help?"
Although as an infinite space reincarnation who has traveled through many plot worlds, Wang Qiu has long lost the desire to pursue stars—in fact, even before he entered the infinite space, Wang Qiu was not a fanatical star chaser .However, even if it's just to score points in the plot world and complete tasks, he can't easily give up this opportunity to join the protagonist's team, even if it will take some risks.
Therefore, at least at this moment, the enthusiastic attitude he expressed was definitely very sincere.
Seemingly sensing Wang Qiu's sincerity, Captain America, who has always been upright and upright, couldn't help feeling a little moved.Moreover, seeing the soldiers of the United States of America who were not far away were killed and wounded defending the earth, but he stayed here and just ignored it, which made the captain very uncomfortable.
However, Natasha, the black widow who has been used to intrigues for many years in her career as an agent, still expressed concern about Wang Qiu and the others, so she argued with Captain America in a low voice.However, before their quarrel came to a conclusion, a new mutation broke out quietly:
A stealth fighter belonging to the dark elves suddenly appeared next to the Stark Industrial Building, and slammed into it hard!
In an instant, the floor shook wildly, sand and rocks flew, and the glass curtain wall shattered.All the people staying in the room couldn't stand upright, and turned into ground gourds for a while.But with his extraordinary qualities as a super soldier, Captain America still struggled to stand up, raised his shield and prepared to fight.
However, someone moved faster than him: "...Quick! [Shrinking light] activate!"
The next moment, Captain America, who had just shaken off the glass slag on his body, found with embarrassment that the alien stealth fighter that had just forcibly landed on the top floor of the Stark Industries Building had turned into a plane about [-] centimeters long. model.As for the alien soldier who rushed out of the fighter jet, he was shrunk down to the size of a beetle. At this time, he was standing blankly on the broken concrete floor, looking at the suddenly enlarged world at a loss.
It can be seen from this that the expected bloody fight has turned into an insect-catching operation...
Captain America suddenly felt that his head was full of garbled characters.
But even if the mind is full of garbled characters, these miniature aliens must be captured...but how to capture such a small thing?
Captain America sighed, looked left and right, and found a goldfish bowl in the corner, so he asked Pepper Pepper, the hostess of this place, Iron Man's official girlfriend: "...Uh, that, Miss Potts, may I ask?" Do you have a net here for fishing goldfish?"
"..."
After a few more minutes, these shrunken dark elf fighters, as well as their miniature aircraft, were all caught by humans, and they were packed into several glass jars of different sizes, and corks were stuffed, and they were used Tighten with wire reinforcement.
Then, Wang Qiu and others prepared to hand over the captives to Pepper Pepper and others, and followed Captain America to reinforce Iron Man and the others to attack the enemy ship.
However, Pepper.Miss Potts, however, lacked confidence in whether she could be optimistic about these alien captives: "...Well, what if they grow bigger again, or break glass jars and escape? You see, these guys are not stopping now. Hitting the wall of the glass bottle with his head!"
"...Don't worry, Miss Potts, the effect of [shrinking light] can last for at least 24 hours. If you are still worried, you can find a microwave oven, put the alien in the jar and turn it around, and bake it half-cooked , so we won’t be afraid of them escaping from prison.”
Now that he has hundreds of millions of life debts on his body, Wang Qiu, who can piss off Hitler, suggested to Pepper Pepper nonchalantly.
Therefore, Pepper Pepper immediately expressed his opposition to this inhumane proposal:
"... No, they are still wearing armor! How can metal be put in a microwave oven? Let's spray some insecticide in it!"
"...Uh, Miss Potts, is your focus wrong?" Captain America seemed to feel that there were more garbled characters in his head...

PS: Book the next world travel through "Pride and Prejudice" to appreciate the style of the British Empire at the beginning of the industrial revolution at the end of the eighteenth century.Next, I want to write some funny plots in India in the real world.The Last World is scheduled to be the Chinese version of the fantasy self-defense force...
But before that, I feel like I haven’t written a story about space warfare, so how about letting Wang Qiu go to “Legend of the Galactic Heroes” for a while?
