After Portland was captured, two thousand ghostclaw monsters swarmed into the city.
Stationed in Portland, there is an expanded American armored division and a team of nearly 300 warrior volunteers.
The armored division is also a heavily armored division, with more than 17,000 people, equipped with 350 m1a1/a2 main battle tanks, more than 800 armored fighting vehicles of various types, and 44 ah-64 Apache armed helicopters.
, 75 helicopters of various types, and 72 155mm self-propelled guns.
In addition, there are more than a hundred warrior commandos under the division's jurisdiction.
This firepower and combat power are theoretically enough to stop two thousand ghostclaw monsters.
In fact, this heavy-armed force stationed in Portland had killed at least more than 500 Spectral Claw monsters.
The attack momentum of the Spectral Claw monster has been successfully contained.
But at this time, the Spectral Claw monsters that poured in from the direction of Eugene came around and attacked the Portland garrison from the side.
The heavy artillery unit protected by only a small number of troops was defeated in one fell swoop.
Without heavy fire protection, the armored division could only retreat to the main entrances to the city.
Under the cover of armed helicopters, the restructured heavy armored division barely resisted the ghostclaw monsters that were surrounding them from all directions.
But at this time, something unexpected happened, and a group of red dragons flew over from the sea.
The armed helicopter had to rush over to deal with the red magic dragon.
Due to the huge number of red dragons, the helicopter strike group was extremely reluctant to deal with it. Under this situation, the helicopter strike group would have difficulty dealing with the Spectral Claw monsters on the ground.
Without air support, the ground troops' defense line was quickly compressed.
Some sporadic Ghostclaw monsters quickly broke through the defense line and rushed into the US army's position.
A brutal hand-to-hand battle ensued.
Although the American soldiers performed very bravely, it was difficult for the assembled armored troops to be effective in the face of the cold-blooded Spectral Claw monsters.
Facing the influx of Spectral Claws like a tide, the 4th Armored Division had to face a difficult choice, either to withdraw from Portland immediately to prevent being completely divided and surrounded.
Or, before the Spectral Claw monsters complete the encirclement, they must immediately gather superior forces and withdraw from Portland.
The division commander, Brigadier General Camison, finally chose to retreat.
Under the strong pressure of the Spectral Claw, they abandoned hundreds of thousands of people in Portland and retreated inland, preparing to build a second line of defense two hundred kilometers later.
As soon as the American army retreated, the more than 200,000 people stranded in the city of Portland instantly became targets for the Spectral Claw monsters.
Of course, they also took some precautionary measures beforehand.
For example, they had already hid in high-rise buildings or in basements, but after the Spectral Claw entered the city, they quickly searched for humans everywhere in the city.
Soon, the hiding places of the humans were found accurately one by one.
Some high-floor buildings were better, as the monsters did not rush up due to the narrow corridors.
But they forced their way up some low-rise floors.
There are also some who hide in basements, sewers, and air-raid shelters. A large number of them are too confident in the safe houses they have built.
As a result, many homeowners' basements were destroyed by the Spectral Claw. People hiding in the basement were ripped out alive from the basement, dismembered and eaten.
Tragedies happened one after another in downtown Portland.
Less than an hour after the US troops withdrew from Portland, the emergency telephone numbers of the Portland Police Bureau and various hospitals were directly overwhelmed. Of course, calling was useless.
Although the Portland city government maintained an emergency team of hundreds of people to perform government affairs in air-raid shelters, after the Spectral Claw broke into the city, the city government was paralyzed. The mayor took the lead in following the military to evacuate, leaving some behind.
SWAT officers and some unlucky government officials.
According to city government estimates, less than an hour after the fall of Portland, the death toll exceeded 1,000 people. And this number is definitely an underestimate, and the number of deaths continues to expand.
Because there were many families where the whole family was wiped out without even a chance to call the police.
Soon after the fall of Portland, some cities that were really close to the coast fell even more quickly. Los Angeles, San Diego, Oakland, Seattle, Anchorage, Honolulu and Long Beach were almost all fell.
The American army pulled the defense line back for a full three hundred kilometers before stopping.
President Obrica, who had just delivered an impassioned speech, returned to the office and saw the latest casualty figures in the newspaper. His newly restored self-confidence suddenly went cold to the soles of his feet.
"More than 64,000 people." Obrica stared at Walker with a livid face. "This does not include the large number of undiscovered people. The total number is estimated to have exceeded 200,000 dead. Our army and our soldiers have gone
Where are they? Where are our air force and armored forces?"
Walker lowered his head and didn't know how to answer.
"Mr. President, the Senate just wanted you to come over and accept questions." Another important staff member of Obrika walked over quickly.
"Question? What kind of question?" Obrica's body was trembling, and there was a hint of extreme sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.
"Have you forgotten? A few days ago, you said in your speech that you will spare no effort to introduce the technology and experience of the 32 Group and Huaxia, and will not tolerate objections. They feel that such a paragraph is inappropriate. According to the schedule, today
You are going to the Senate for questioning."
"Damn it, what day is it now? What the hell is it now? Are you still asking questions? Let those sons of bitches watch TV and see what is happening in this country, just because they are giggling.
, which led to the current evil consequences." Obrica finally got angry and kicked the door, "Tell them that those monsters will be coming to Capitol Hill soon, and if you can, let them stay."
As he spoke, Obrica's words happened like a magic spell.
A group of White House security personnel rushed in.
He shouted at Obrica and the others: "Mr. President, I'm sorry, you have to leave here immediately."
"What happened?"
"A large group of red dragons are flying towards the White House. The air force has already gone to intercept them, but for safety reasons, we must move to the basement." A security consultant who hurried over answered.
"What the hell, isn't it even safe here?" Obrica's face was so dark that she couldn't tell.
"Yes, Mr. President, New York and New Jersey have fallen. The Claw monsters have landed from Hollywood. The forwards have gone straight to Washington. The 1st Armored Division, the 1st Information Brigade, and the 1st Warrior Strike Brigade have deployed controls around the White House and on Capitol Hill.
.But in order to avoid unpredictable dangers, we must first move you to a safe place."
Obrica held the door handle with both hands, walked to the window, and stared at the sky outside.
"Mr. President!" the security personnel reminded him again in a low voice.
Obrica did not look back. After a moment of silence, she reached out and waved her hand back: "Let's go!"
When he walked down the stairs, he staggered a little and almost fell.
Less than an hour after Obrica retreated, the red dragon flew over the anti-aircraft fire network above the Capitol Hill. A red dragon roared at the sculpture on the top of the dome building on Capitol Hill.
The sculpture immediately collapsed and fell down, smashing several large holes in the dome of the Capitol Hill, and fell to the foot of the Capitol with a rumble.
Although the fighter planes quickly arrived and concentrated their firepower to shoot down the red dragon, the 223-year-old Capitol still suffered its second heavy blow since it was burned down during the Eagle War in 1814.
.
Soon, more attacks came from the air.
A large number of red demon dragons kept coming from all directions, entangled and fighting with the American fighter planes in the sky.
It seems that they have realized that this is the command center of the Americans, and the red dragons behave much more ferociously than those in other places.
And the number was even larger. In a small space, hundreds of red dragons were fighting with hundreds of air force fighters.
From time to time, fighter planes and red dragons fall from the sky.
Once it falls, there will either be a sea of fire or a big pit on the ground.
From Capitol Hill to the White House, and from the White House to the Pentagon, it has become a mess.
There are also large vehicles of anti-aircraft artillery roaring on the ground, and a large number of combat personnel and armored units are also nervously setting up defenses.
The Spectral Claw has landed in Hollywood, not far from Capitol Hill and the White House, and sporadic Spectral Claw monsters have broken into the restricted area of Washington.
Obrica delivered a second emergency speech in the basement.
Of course, this time his speech was not as passionate as the first time.
He just wanted to tell the American people that the United States is now in the midst of its biggest crisis, and he will spend this darkest moment with the American people.
He called on the American people to be tenacious and they would be able to defeat these cold-blooded monsters.
But in fact, when he was giving a speech, the background wall behind him had betrayed his current situation.
Even the dignified President of the United States has hid in the basement. It is self-evident what the situation in the entire United States is now.
After the fall of Washington, D.C., the entire North American continent was really in dire straits.
Compared with the last beast wave, although the Americans were well prepared this time, the casualties were still quite heavy. Moreover, Washington, D.C., was not invaded by the Spectral Claw monster last time.
But this time it's different.
The capital of the United States fell.
Moreover, several large cities on the west coast have also fallen, and the number of casualties has been too high to be counted.
Eight hours after the beast tide broke out in the United States, the attack of the Spectral Claw monsters had reached its peak.
California, Oregon, New Jersey, Washington, North and South Carolina, Maine, Florida, Georgia and other coastal states and counties have all fallen.
Alaska even declared a state of emergency across the state, requiring no citizens to go out.
On the twelfth hour of the beast wave, the governor of South Carolina was attacked by a red dragon while touring the disaster area and died of serious injuries.
At the same time, Washington, D.C., fell for a full six hours. Although Obrika was still in the basement of the White House, her contact with the ground was intermittent.
On the contrary, in the Kingdom of China on the other side of the ocean, the peak period of the beast tide has completely ended at this time, although there are still sporadic ghostclaw monsters that have broken through the separation wall.
But such threats are no longer significant.
A large number of warriors have begun to rush through various administrative regions along the coast, killing all kinds of ghostclaw monsters that have slipped through the net.
At the same time, the number of casualties in Huaxia State also began to be announced to the public.
The casualty reports received so far are 2,758 dead and 29,330 injured.
This number of casualties is almost only a fraction compared to the beast attack before the new version of the Great Wall was built.
However, at this moment, the death toll in the United States on the other side of the ocean has reached more than 173,000, and this does not include the large number of unreported deaths. The number of injured has exceeded one million.
Even President Obrika lost contact. Among the members of Congress who were meeting on Capitol Hill, three representatives were hung up and one senator was hung up.
The most disastrous situation was that of the American army.
Several heavily armored divisions were almost completely disabled.
Especially the 1st Heavy Armored Division garrisoning Washington, DC. Thousands of armored tanks were besieged by nearly 5,000 Ghost Claw monsters, more than 600 Blood Claws, and more than 300 Red Demon Dragons. In the end, they were completely destroyed.
Being able to hold Washington, D.C., led to the fall of Capitol Hill and the White House for the second time in history.
Apart from inland states, California is the most successful coastal state in the United States in resisting the Specterclaw.
Except for coastal cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, and Long Beach, which are virtually undefendable, the area invaded in other areas is not large.
Many of California's defenses refer to the opinions of the 32 Group. California itself hired a large number of mercenaries, state police forces and the National Guard. At the same time, it purchased a large number of the lowest level magic spider webs, and then came over from China and the 32 Group.
With the advice of experts, we created a layered defense strategy.
When the Ghostclaw invaded, a large number of fortifications worked, coupled with the powerful force of the American army.
The Ghost Claw monster's offensive was once suppressed to the point where it was almost impossible to raise its head.
In particular, the demonstration wall that was just built was only six meters high, two meters thick, and less than a thousand meters long. It successfully blocked the Spectral Claw monsters from outside the city of Livermore, preventing them from attacking.
The Spectral Claw spread further into inland cities.
At six o'clock in the morning the next day, China time, after twenty-seven hours of attacks by the beast tide, the Spectral Claw monster finally stopped logging in on the coastline of China.
Some of the monsters that originally came ashore also returned to the sea like the ebbing tide.
After another three hours, the tide of beasts on the west coast of the United States began to stabilize, and the ghostclaw monsters at sea stopped surging toward the land.
And some ghostclaw monsters have begun to return to the sea.
But the problem is that at least hundreds of thousands of Ghostclaw monsters have flooded into the North American continent.
Alaska and Maple Leaf Country almost fell, and the Prime Minister of Maple Leaf Country announced that he had lost contact.
Of course, the United States is not much better. Although the beast tide has stopped, what is different from last time is that this time the number of ghostclaws sneaking into the interior is too huge.
The death toll has also skyrocketed to an unprecedented 890,000 people, not to mention the previous target of 100,000. If this trend continues, a million deaths will be the minimum.
What is even more frightening is that the losses suffered by the US military this time are heavy. (~^~)
