Thirty-six tungsten-core armor-piercing projectiles streaked across the sky at speeds exceeding human imagination. Their target was not the toy-like military ships in Dongjin Bay, but rather the shore-based anti-ship missile sites located further away on the Boso and Miura peninsulas.
"High-speed incoming target detected! Speed... Mach... Mach 10! Unable to intercept! Unable to intercept!"
Inside the Dongjin Air Defense Command, the piercing alarms and the desperate cries of radar operators blended together.
Their prized Patriot and SAM air defense systems didn't even have time to react to these attacks from another dimension.
The next second.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of earth-shattering explosions occurred simultaneously on both sides of Dongjin Bay.
The missile silos, hidden beneath the mountains and camouflaged fortifications, were instantly shattered as if struck by the iron fist of a giant. Huge fireballs and thick smoke shot into the sky, forming small mushroom clouds.
Just one volley.
The coastal defense system that the Dongjin army had built over decades and with countless funds, which served as its shield, was completely destroyed.
"The First and Second Missile Brigades are completely wiped out..."
"We've lost contact with the Yokosuka and Kisarazu bases..."
One piece of bad news after another reached the Ministry of Defense's command center. Watanabe Yuichi's face was ashen.
He knew they were finished.
This is not a war at all.
This is a case of dimensional reduction attack.
However, this is just the beginning.
After destroying the coastal defense positions, Qin Lan's icy voice once again resounded over Dongjin via full-band broadcast.
"Now, it's your fleet's turn."
The words had barely left his mouth.
At the center of the Star Kingdom fleet, the vertical launch cells on both sides of the two Overlord-class battlecruisers slowly opened their covers, revealing a dense array of missile launchers flashing dangerous red lights.
"'Doomsday' Type 1, 'Hive' Mode, Target: Enemy Fleet, Launch!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Hundreds of missiles, trailing long plumes of flame, roared out of their silos like a swarm of wasps whose nest had been disturbed, tracing deadly arcs through the air as they hurtled toward the military fleet in Dongjin Bay.
"Enemy missiles are attacking! The number... exceeds three hundred! My God!"
On the flagship of the military fleet, the Kongo-class destroyer, the captain let out a desperate roar.
"Activate the Aegis system! Fire Standard Missile-3! Phalanx CIWS, open fire! Intercept! Stop them at all costs!"
In an instant, the military fleet also erupted in a final frenzy.
Countless interceptor missiles were launched from the ship, heading towards the deadly "swarm." The Vulcan cannons of the close-in weapon system unleashed dense barrages, weaving into a web of fire in the air.
However, all of this was in vain.
As the Star Kingdom's "Doomsday" missile approached its target, it suddenly underwent an inexplicable change.
Each mother bomb disintegrated in mid-air into dozens of smaller bullets, each with its own independent guidance system.
Originally, there were more than 300 missiles, but in an instant, they became more than 10,000!
This is the true terror of the "hive" model.
The barrage of bullets, like a meteor shower, easily broke through the already strained defensive firepower of the military fleet.
The next moment, Dongjin Bay turned into a sea of fire.
Rumble!
Explosions rose and fell in waves, creating a continuous sound.
The military's ships, whether the largest "Ichichen" class or the most advanced "Kongo" class, were as fragile as paper in the face of this saturation and unequal attack.
One by one, warships were blown to pieces, engulfed in flames, and slowly sank into the cold sea, accompanied by the piercing screams of their crew members.
Just five minutes.
The main fleet of the naval forces, on which the people of Yingzhou placed high hopes, was completely annihilated.
The seawater in Dongjin Bay was dyed an eerie red, and the wreckage of warships and the corpses of soldiers floated on the surface.
This scene was clearly presented to all the residents of Dongjin through live streaming.
Despair, like a virus, is spreading wildly in every corner of the city.
Countless people collapsed to the ground, weeping uncontrollably.
Their army, their once-proud shield, proved utterly vulnerable before the enemy.
Inside the Prime Minister's official residence, there was a deathly silence.
Looking at the hellish scene on the screen, Suzuki Masao's body went limp, and he slumped into his chair. His eyes lost all their light.
“It’s over…it’s all over…” he muttered to himself.
Yuichi Watanabe, this resolute general, also closed his eyes in anguish.
He knew they had lost. Lost utterly, decisively, without a doubt.
All that remains is how to choose a more "dignified" way to die.
“We…we still have an air force!” a young congressman roared in despair. “We still have the technology left behind by the ‘Shinshin’ demonstrator! Our pilots are the best in the world!”
However, before he could finish speaking...
Qin Lan's voice rang out again, like a death knell.
"You should also get rid of your flies."
Accompanied by her words.
In the distance, a dense cluster of black dots appeared in the sky.
That was the "Dragon Fang" fighter-bomber formation from the Star Kingdom.
They are moving too fast.
By the time the radar of Dongjin had just detected them, they had already passed the F-15J formation of the air force.
A brief but fierce aerial battle broke out.
But this was also a massacre with no suspense whatsoever.
The "Dragon Fang" fighter jet completely outclasses the older F-15J in terms of speed, maneuverability, and onboard weapon systems.
Like birds of prey in the sky, they wantonly hunted down those clumsy "sparrows".
The air-to-air missiles, as if they had eyes, accurately hit one F-15J after another.
Some "Dragon Tooth" fighters even skipped missiles and directly activated the small-caliber plasma rapid-fire cannons located under their noses.
Shooting beams of blazing, bluish-white energy traced deadly paths through the air. The F-15Js that were hit didn't even have a chance to explode; they were instantly melted into molten iron by the intense heat in mid-air.
Less than ten minutes.
Two squadrons, totaling forty-eight F-15Js, took to the air to intercept them, and all of them were shot down.
Meanwhile, the Kingdom of Stars remained completely unharmed.
Sea control and air control were completely stripped away in just half an hour.
Dongjin, once a bustling international metropolis, is now utterly powerless to resist.
The fleet of the Star Kingdom slowly sailed into Dongjin Bay.
The massive, imposing black ship was anchored in front of the Rainbow Bridge.
Countless landing craft, like locusts, were released from the mothership and rushed toward the coast of Odaiba.
At the same time, massive transport planes began to forcibly land on the ruins of Haneda Airport.
Imperial soldiers clad in black power armor poured out of landing craft and transport planes like a tide.
The explosive rifles in their hands continuously emitted dull shots, tearing any remaining police and military forces that dared to resist to shreds.
The war has entered its final stage: urban warfare.
Although, this can no longer be called street fighting.
This was just a one-sided, unilateral purge.
