Chapter 223: US-Mexico Border War Breaks Out
The war had only just begun half an hour ago.

The hundreds of kilometers long border defense line between the United States and Mexico was pierced through like a domino by the heavy tanks of the coalition forces of hundreds of countries.

The Avengers were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of manpower, even though they were able to resist tenaciously at the beginning with their advanced weapons and equipment and a strong momentum.

But now, half an hour has just passed.

"Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang! Boom—"

On the battlefield where artillery fire roared.

Countless soldiers watched their comrades die in front of them, and the passion in their hearts was instantly extinguished by the cruelty of war.

Seen from the sky, the Avengers soldiers on the defense line turned into tiny black dots like ants.

As the war intensified, the Avengers began to rush behind the defense line, leaving their backs exposed to the enemy's guns.

The fleeing soldiers formed a black tide and gradually surged toward the rear.

There is no doubt that this was a great defeat!

Just half an hour into the war, the Skrull coalition of hundreds of nations won a crushing victory.

Steve was on the defense line, attacking everywhere with a vibranium shield, specifically destroying the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles.

But gradually, he suddenly found that he was surrounded by enemies everywhere, he could no longer see any companions, and he was already deeply surrounded by the enemy.

"Ho ho."

Steve, who was severely exhausted, was gasping for breath behind a destroyed tank bunker.

Looking around, tanks formed a steel wall, and thousands of fully armed enemy soldiers surrounded him in three layers inside and outside.

The power of an individual can play a very small role in a large-scale modern war.

Unless it's a superhuman like Carl or Captain Marvel.

Even a super soldier like Captain America destroyed more than 50 enemy tanks, more than 70 armored vehicles, and more than a thousand soldiers in this fierce battle that lasted half an hour.

But compared with the enemy's military strength, this loss is not only insignificant, but also insignificant.

"It is an honor to die on the battlefield, but it is a pity that I cannot accompany Peggy to the end."

Steve, feeling desperate about his situation, began to have wild thoughts in his mind.

If it was a modern war like the one during World War II, even if he was surrounded by the enemy, he might be able to rely on his own strong strength to fight his way out.

But in modern warfare, there will be all-round drone surveillance without blind spots, and fighter jets in the sky can launch air-to-ground missiles that automatically lock onto targets.

There are even individual rocket launchers with thermal imaging and tracking capabilities.

Although Steve is a super soldier, he has no chance of escaping from this tight net.

Therefore, at this moment he began to think about his last words.

"Boom! Boom!"

at this time.

More than a dozen F-15 fighter jets circling in the sky to track Steve were blown up one after another by sudden machine gun bullets.

Steve looked up in confusion, and saw twenty Quinjets forming an air company, chasing the enemy's fighter planes.

One fighter jet after another of the coalition forces of hundreds of countries was destroyed.

"Boom boom."

Fighter planes exploded into fireballs and fell rapidly below, and the roar of the explosions resounded through the sky.

In just thirty seconds, no fighter jets of the coalition forces of hundreds of countries could be seen in the airspace within the surrounding 100 kilometers.

Immediately afterwards, twenty Quinjet fighters began to fly at ultra-low altitudes, using machine guns to destroy the enemy's armed forces on the ground.

One of the Quinjet fighters slowly and vertically landed in front of Steve.

When the fighter plane landed, the airflow from the tail engine nozzle raised dust all over the sky.

A familiar figure approached, holding an M249SAW light machine gun.

When the other party came closer, Steve suddenly asked in surprise: "Bucky? Are you here to save me?"

The man who came was Bucky, the Winter Soldier, who had nothing to do in the European base.

Tony and others have been giving Scott advice these days, teaching him how to use his beauty to seduce Hank Pym's daughter Hope.

In this kind of situation, the dull-witted Bucky can't help.

Just then he heard from Fury that his good brother Steve was about to face a large-scale war.

Bucky immediately volunteered to lead a team of agents to support Steve.

Nick Fury considered that the Skrulls could not easily invade America, so he agreed to let Bucky support North America.

Now, Bucky saw that he had finally arrived on time after rushing so hard, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I almost thought I would never see you again, but luckily I made it in time."

Steve wanted to say a few more words, but Bucky heard the reminder on the communication channel and his face changed.

"Shit! The Skrulls launched an intercontinental ballistic nuclear missile here, get out of here!"

When Steve heard this, he didn't bother to be polite and quickly followed Bucky into the Quinjet and quickly took off to leave the area.

They left in less than two minutes.

An intercontinental ballistic nuclear missile broke through the atmosphere at a speed of 30 hertz, exploding a large mushroom cloud in the area.

A strong airflow caused the Quinjet, which had just flown 70 kilometers, to shake.

"careful!"

Inside the fighter, Buggy noticed that the fighter's flight attitude was unstable, so he shouted a warning. Fortunately, they were at an altitude of 27000 feet and far enough away that they were not greatly affected by the nuclear explosion.

When the fighter plane's flight attitude returned to a stable state, Steve looked through the window of the fighter plane and saw the mushroom cloud rising behind him. His face was heavy and he said:
"The Skrulls are really crazy. Not only are there Avengers in that area, but there are even more of their own soldiers!"

Buggy looked disdainful and said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "For the Skrulls, as long as the dead are not their own, they will not feel bad no matter how many human soldiers die."

The mushroom cloud became smaller and smaller until it could no longer be seen. Steve withdrew his gaze and sighed, "We are doomed to lose this war before it even begins."

"The enemy can ignore casualties, but we have too many concerns and dare not use weapons of mass destruction."

"This kind of battle is so frustrating!"

Buggy's eyes were filled with indifference as he said, "Looking at the history of human warfare, if you want to win, you must do whatever it takes."

"As a brother for many years, Steve, I have to give you a piece of advice. As the leader of the Avengers, you must learn that kindness does not lead to good results."

"Sometimes, a moment of kindness can lead to more tragic consequences."

Steve was silent for a while, then said self-deprecatingly, "Maybe, but now that the Avengers have suffered a great defeat, I'm afraid I won't even have the chance to lead an army in the future. It's too late to say this."

Bucky was speechless.

Steve's mentality was still stable. Although the Avengers were defeated, he had already tried his best and had no regrets.

Cheer up, life goes on.

He then asked about the recent situation of Tony and others.

Bucky briefly explained that Tony and the others were teaching Scott how to pick up girls.

Steve hesitated for a while and said, "I still stick to my own ideas and will not participate in the inter-time and space plan."

Bucky was not surprised. Thinking about the future whereabouts, he asked directly: "Where are you going next? In fact, even if you don't want to participate in the plan, you can also return to the European base with me."

Steve shook his head and said seriously, "I plan to go back to New Jersey, form a guerrilla force, and continue to resist the Skrulls' invasion of the Hundred Nations Coalition."

Bucky looked puzzled and advised: "20 Avengers have been defeated. The whole of America will surely be plunged into the quagmire of war. Do you still want to go back at this time?"

Steve said seriously: "I have to go back. If I don't stand up, no one will take this responsibility."

"Only I, Captain America, can awaken the last bit of passion in the American people."

Bucky advised earnestly.

"No, this is not your responsibility. You're going to die if you go back to New Jersey!"

But Steve was very stubborn: "Even if it means I will die, I must go back!"

The pilot in the co-pilot seat turned around and asked, "Are you sure you want to go to New Jersey?"

Steve: “Sure!”

Bucky: "No, we're not going!"

Steve: “Must go!”

Buggy: “!!”

The pilot in charge saw more than fifty red dots suddenly appear on the air defense radar and said with a vigilant look on his face: "Sir, the enemy fighter planes are chasing us."

Steve frowned and asked, "Can you get rid of him?"

The pilot pushed the control stick to the maximum, the fighter plane suddenly began to accelerate, and quickly replied:
"Enemy fighters are surrounding us from all directions. It may be a bit bumpy next. Hold on tight, officers."

Twenty Quinjet fighters began to cover the fighter jets in the center where Buggy and others were, and broke out to the northeast.

The Skrulls dispatched 50 F-15 fighter jets. This third-generation fighter has been tested in actual combat for many years and has excellent performance in all aspects.

The Quinjet is more focused on transportation and aerial combat, and its medium and long-range combat capabilities are relatively weak.

At this moment, the air defense radar sounded a rapid "beep beep!" alarm.

The co-pilot of the Quinjet shouted nervously: "Be careful, we've been locked by missiles!"

The pilot calmly pushed the joystick down, and the fighter began to dive, increasing the speed to Mach 2.7.

"Release the decoy bomb!"

The five AIM-7F medium-range air-to-air missiles chasing the Quinjet were detonated prematurely by a dozen decoy bombs.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

I felt the fighter plane start to rise again. This feeling of not being able to control his own destiny made Buggy very unhappy. He said:

"If all else fails, we'll make an emergency landing and retreat from the ground!"

The lead pilot looked at the red dot on the radar and said solemnly:

"We have no choice but to make an emergency landing. Satellite positioning shows that New Mexico is ahead. I am going to land in Las Vegas."

Steve held the shield in front of him and walked to the hatch to prepare for the emergency landing.

At this time, five of the twenty Quinjet fighters deliberately turned and flew in other directions, luring away half of the enemy planes.

There were only 25 enemy planes still chasing us, and the pressure was suddenly reduced a lot.

The Quinjet lowered its altitude while maneuvering flexibly to avoid the machine gun bullets from the fighter planes behind it.

The interior of the fighter plane was shaking so much that Buggy felt dizzy.

"Not here yet?"

The lead pilot reported: "The current flight altitude is 3000 feet and the speed is 700 kilometers per hour."
