In mid-air, around the flower bud-shaped ultraviolet generator, there were many bats circling. The ground troops' machine gunners and snipers were creating a ring of firepower, preventing the bats from flying out of the generator's range.

Spider-Man discovered Venom's new usage. After undergoing training from Iron Man and Batman's Devil, this symbiote had quickly adapted to Spider-Man's unconventional combat methods.

First, Spider-Man used Venom's secretion to weave a large web, then jumped high from a bridge pillar like a real spider and threw the web. The web always captured dozens of bats, which were then thrown into the range of the ultraviolet generator. In no time, hundreds of bats were successfully caught.

Natasha looked at the increasing number of bats around the ultraviolet generator, but still frowned and said, "No, this is not enough. We must eliminate more than one-third of their living forces at once, otherwise the situation will remain difficult."

Human beings were not at an advantage when fighting superhuman beings, especially when their numbers were so large, almost on par with humans. Moreover, the terrain was not conducive to the use of human weapons, such as missiles, as the Brooklyn Bridge could not withstand intense explosions.

Quake Daisy shouted, "Hurry up! My frequency is gradually weakening. The distance is too far. I can only control it for another two minutes at most!"

Without hesitation, Natasha put away the walkie-talkie, walked directly to the cockpit of the armed helicopter, lifted the pilot up, and sat in the seat herself, shouting, "Everyone, prepare to parachute and evacuate!"

As she manipulated the helicopter, Natasha used the walkie-talkie and said, "Attention all members of Team 2! Prepare to evacuate! Follow my trajectory, pilots keep up with my movements, machine gunners focus on firepower output, we will force the large group on the east side to move away!"

Hawkeye Clint also shouted into the intercom, "No! That's too dangerous! Stark's ultraviolet device has a high power output, you can't get too close, otherwise you'll be instantly melted like those bats!!"

Natasha fully utilized her Russian combat style, directly hanging up the intercom, disregarding Hawkeye's protests. She pulled down the control lever with force and the armed helicopter flew towards the pile of bats.

The regular crew had already parachuted and left, leaving only Natasha and the gunner. The pilot on the second aircraft gritted his teeth and followed them. The gunner on their aircraft had already sacrificed, and Clint cursed under his breath before taking his place and preparing to output firepower.

The remaining two armed helicopters flew towards a large group of bats in the east. Hawkeye controlled the main firepower output while Natasha provided tactical cover with the helicopter. There was also Quake, a powerful weapon, on the second helicopter. Although she needed to allocate some of her energy to control the ultraviolet device, she could still use her quake to drive group after group of bats towards their destination.

Just as dozens of bats reached the range of the generator, Natasha shouted into the intercom, "Daisy! Start now!"

Quake gritted her teeth, her hair flying continuously in the wind from the helicopter's propellers. She reached out a hand and Hawkeye said, "Wait! Let's prepare to leave first. Do you want to be blown up here?"

"No! Someone must maintain the firepower output. Second aircraft, retreat first, I'll follow later!"

"Natasha! Are you crazy? Why are you still moving forward?!" Hawkeye stuck his head out and saw Natasha's helicopter continuing to move forward, forcing a bunch of bats who wanted to escape.

Daisy said, "Hurry up! I can't hold on much longer!"

"Evacuate now!" Natasha's voice sounded very calm. Hawkeye didn't know where she got such confidence, so he could only grit his teeth and equip himself with grappling hooks and parachutes, then jumped off the helicopter with Daisy. In the moment they jumped, Daisy clenched her fists tightly.

Suddenly, two ultraviolet devices floating in the air exploded violently, shining like a sun over the Brooklyn Bridge.

The intense explosion accompanied by high-intensity ultraviolet radiation spreading out instantly turned all bats within the range of the devices into flying ash.

Next to the giant sun, a small black figure fell, and then another black figure swung over with spider web and caught her directly. When Spider-Man placed Natasha on the top of the Brooklyn Bridge pile, Venom said in his mind, "She has a really nice figure, right?"

Peter's face turned red immediately, fortunately he was wearing a mask. Natasha patted the dust off her body, turned around, and looked at her achievements.

This tactical operation was indeed astonishingly effective. One-third of the bats hovering over the Brooklyn Bridge were affected by the explosion wave, and the vast majority lost their combat capability.

More importantly, vampires are a highly intelligent humanoid species, and as long as they have humanity, they will be afraid.

Seeing their companions turning into dust in an instant, their psychological pressure also increased greatly. It was visible to the naked eye that many bats were no longer hovering in the air, but transformed into human form and tried to escape along the alleyways.

At this time, an advantage of the Brooklyn Bridge area was demonstrated. The human forces blocked both ends of the bridge. Any bat that wanted to fly out would have to accept the baptism of machine gun and sniper bullets. If they didn't fly out, they would have to transform into human form, which was smaller in size and less likely to be hit.

However, within the range of the bridge, transforming into human form would either result in falling onto the bridge surface or into the river, neither of which is a good choice.

Falling onto the bridge surface would immediately expose one to gunfire. Falling into the river, vampires do not have much mobility in the water and are almost like sitting ducks.

Except for some advanced vampires who are skilled in using magic, most ordinary vampires can only panic and fly randomly underneath the bridge.

Just as Natasha was preparing to convey the next step of the battle plan, a loud sound of breaking through the air rang out, and she looked up to see several dark shadows approaching rapidly in the distant sky. Natasha said, "The fighter jets are coming in!"

Although armed helicopters can be used in combat, they are not as specialized as fighter jets. Twelve fighter jets emitted sharp screams, cutting through the sky, and almost in one pass, shot down over a dozen large bats.

Low-altitude combat is not the strong suit of fighter jets, but the aerial combat skills of fighter jet pilots are much stronger than those of bats that fly randomly.

Only seeing the three of them forming a small team, executing rapid tactical maneuvers, often able to keep the bats spinning around, the aerial bats were distracted and did not have time to dive towards the ground, immediately greatly relieving the situation on the ground.

The ground forces primarily have to deal with humanoid advanced vampires who can use various types of magic, such as claws suddenly appearing from black mist. Even someone with Spider-Man's speed would barely avoid a few attacks. The chances of survival for ordinary people being ambushed are very slim.

Therefore, the ground forces are reducing too quickly, and the personnel who need to be replaced require more time to organize firepower.

On the bridge, Steve raised his shield and the sound of claws scraping metal made his scalp tingle. Steve said, "This won't work! Spider-Man, are you there? We need to find a way to stop them from using magic so recklessly. The damage to ordinary people is too great!"

Spider-Man's voice came through the headphones, "Destroy the bridge."

"What did you say?" Steve said incredulously. "Spider-Man? Hey? Are you okay?"

"I said we need to destroy the bridge so they don't have a foothold," Peter's voice sounded very calm, even a bit low, unlike him. But Steve was attracted to this voice and listened to Peter continue.

"Just now, I observed that when they transformed into bat form and hovered in the air, they couldn't use that claw magic. They have to transform into human form to use magic."

"And when they transform into human form, they need a foothold."

"Now the bridge deck is too spacious, they can use magic recklessly, but once the bridge is destroyed, there will be no flat deck, only the wreckage with ups and downs. Humans can use the wreckage as cover."

"Not only can they avoid magic attacks, but special operations teams have also entered the field. This is their strength."

Steve opened his mouth and took a deep breath. He said, "Peter, I never thought... Is it really you, Peter?"

It's no wonder Steve was so surprised. In his previous exchanges with Peter, he noticed that due to Peter's young age and lack of experience, some of the tactical plans he came up with seemed rather stingy. This is understandable, as you can't expect a high school student who has only seen street fights to come up with any grand plans. But this time, Peter shocked Steve by coming up with a very bold plan.

Peter's voice was very calm, and now he was full of all the possibilities of this strategy. He said, "Now is the only chance. The bat in the air has been distracted by the fighter jets and won't interfere with us. The explosion of the ultraviolet device just now has destroyed half of the bridge pier in the southeast direction."

"We just need to destroy the bridge pier in the southwest direction, and the entire bridge will collapse starting from the south. I estimate that about half of the bridge will completely collapse, which will provide a great space for the special operations team to move."

Steve stood behind a truck, and involuntarily said, "Indeed, the explosion just now caused many bats to run to the bottom of the bridge. Once the bridge collapses, many of them can be crushed."

He stood at the edge of the bridge and looked down. The whole underside of the bridge was filled with glowing red eyes, which looked very creepy. Steve said, "Don't they like to hide under the bridge surface? Then lure more bats there. At the moment when the bridge collapses, even if they are not crushed, they will be shot collectively."

With the battle plan in place, Steve and Peter began to cooperate in action. They got some explosives from Police Station Chief George, and after a brief communication with George, the chief expressed that the ground police force would be ready to cooperate with the operation at any time.

!

With this commitment, Spider-Man contacted Natasha again. Natasha expressed her strong agreement with their bold plan, saying, "Those conservative lawmakers only consider the cost of repairing the bridge. Why don't they think about the fact that every bullet fired now is made of silver? The cost of firepower for this moment is enough to build two bridges."

"And, your plan is too conservative," the female agent from the Soviet Union said firmly, "The greater the amount, the greater the effect! The efficiency of manual transport of explosives is too low!"

"Listen, I just contacted Stark. The reason he hasn't come yet is because he's adjusting his Mech armor. Later, there will be about five unmanned Mech armors joining the battlefield, and I will take two of them."

"All you need to do is load them with enough explosives and then initiate a suicide charge. This way, not only can you collapse the bridge, but the intense explosion can also reap a wave of bats that can't escape in time."

Steve and Peter both swallowed hard. Steve said, "Actually, we originally only wanted to collapse half of the bridge, so that..."

"Can you Americans have a little more guts?!" the female agent yelled, "If the Soviet Union had commanders like you, those damn Germans would have already stormed into Moscow!!!"

"Listen to me! Prepare now! Completely destroy the Brooklyn Bridge!!!"
