1440 Throw all graphite shells out for me
On July 1, at 10:30 am Eastern Time, President Bush signed a national security directive document to US Central Headquarters Commander Schwartzkopf, ordering the US military to start war on Iraq. The purpose of this time is not to liberate Kuwait, but to liberate the people of Kuwait.
The whole world was in an uproar.
The United Nations held an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with such things at hand.
Before a result was discussed, the US fighter jets had taken off from Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Bahrain, cartels and other countries and flew towards Iraq. These fighter jets were carrying a huge number of weapons and ammunition.
The Americans are determined to attack Iraq, anyway, the United Nations has authorized this matter before.
Saddam this is obviously to delay time.
More importantly, the Kuwaiti people are being enslaved by Saddam.
Therefore, the Americans decided to liberate the Iraqi people.
When Saddam announced the withdrawal of troops from Kuwait, but the implementation was insufficient, and the people of Kuwait were not returned. The deadline given by the United Nations had passed, and the United Nations had already passed, and the United States' fighter jets took off from around Iraq and bombed military targets in Iraq.
After the electronic combat aircraft such as EF-111, EA-6B and EC-130H took the lead and opened up the path, aircraft such as F-14, F-15C, F-16 and F/A-18 carried out air cover, and bombers such as F-117, F-117A, F-111DAEAF, A-6, A-10, AV-8B, F-15E, B-52 and other bombers and ground attack aircraft carried out air bombing towards their respective designated targets that had been formulated a long time ago.
Within one day, the targets of important oil fields, oil industrial bases, transportation hubs, military facilities, etc. in Iraq have ignited raging fires.
The world was in an uproar, and voices condemning the United States suddenly broke out, but Bush, the old man ignored it.
Even when the United Nations was meeting, the Americans said that they needed to liberate the Kuwaiti people, so the United Nations started arguing.
China calls for a peaceful resolution, the Soviet Union looks like watching the fun, Britain and France even said that they are very busy and need the help of the United Nations...
Therefore, war and other things have made the world liven up.
As long as the United States did not go to war with the Soviet Union, it would not affect everyone's lives, right?
On the Middle East battlefield, the first day of air raid began, and the subsequent air raids could not stop.
On the Iraq side, except for a small number of anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns that were carrying out discontinuous counterattacks, they were soon bombed by US ground attack aircraft and bombers, and then disappeared, and basically did not encounter decent resistance.
Even so, Captain America still did not give up and did not issue any ultimatum to Iraq. One wave of bombing was not finished, and another wave of bombing continued.
Baghdad, which Iraq is focusing on defense, and Basra, the second largest city, have not yet encountered American bombings in this war.
"Continue to bomb for me! Paralyze the entire Iraq bomb!" When the US commander got the situation on the front line, the Iraqi Air Force did not stop its effective resistance, and even their missile forces were missing. The anti-aircraft artillery troops launched a small number of counterattacks, and were soon turned into ruins by their powerful bomber formations, and they ordered them like this.
On the Saudi side, Lieutenant General Khalid only frowned at such an order.
The coalition forces in the Middle East were under his command. The US Captain did not lack ammunition, but they lacked them. After two waves of air bombings, he ordered the Arab coalition forces to stop the bombing.
"General Khalid, why do you stop bombing?" Schwartzkopf was very dissatisfied with this matter.
Khalid looked at the commander of the United States and said calmly, "Commander, we are responsible for the military expenditure of our coalition forces. Iraq has not organized effective resistance. Obviously, they are preserving their strength or dare not fight with our coalition forces at all!"
It is obvious that the Arab world does not like such wars.
"We are helping you eliminate the threat in the Arab world! Only by fighting them without any fighting can Saddam avoid threatening peace in the Middle East again." Schwartzkopf emphasized.
Khalid despised him and said in secret, "Israel is the biggest threat to our Arab world. Why don't you help us destroy Israel?"
On the surface, he said calmly, "This is the order of His Majesty the King. Since our funds are provided to you, and our army's inventory is not large, so..."
It’s obvious that we pay for the war anyway.
Schwartzkopf was furious, but he had no choice but to do so. While ordering the US fighter jets to continue bombing, he also conveyed the attitude of the Saudi royal family to the country.
In other words, this is the dissatisfaction of the Arab world with the Americans.
Those things that have nothing to do with soldiers and are responsible for the diplomatic department.
In order to increase the attack, warships in the Persian Gulf began to launch Tomahawk cruise missiles at some important targets in Iraq.
"The other party has started to launch missiles! We should launch an attack!" Saddam had long been hiding in the underground command center. Even though until now, US fighter jets have not appeared around large cities like Baghdad and Basra, these cities are finding the attack of Tomahawk missiles.
"No, it's not time yet. If you fight back now, you will not be able to achieve the effect." Liu Suxue looked at various information and found that Iraq was not suffering too much damage now.
Especially in the military.
"Woo..." Suddenly, a shrill alarm began to sound over Baghdad, and in the combat command room, the alarm lights began to flash wildly.
"Here you!" Saddam gritted his teeth.
The Americans were indeed not a good thing. They did not attack Baghdad at the beginning, and they bombed surrounding military bases and transportation hubs.
In just one day, Iraq's economic losses exceeded at least $50 billion.
"Order the missile forces to start carrying out missile attacks on Bahrain, Israel and other countries!" Saddam issued an order. "No. 1 air defense position is on standby, throw me the graphite shells!"
Tens of kilometers outside the southwestern suburbs of Baghdad, it was originally a place where yellow sand or a small oasis. After receiving the order, the yellow sand on the ground was quickly removed, revealing pits. In these pits, there were anti-aircraft guns of all sizes, and the pits next to the anti-aircraft guns were filled with ammunition.
Originally, on the top of the pit, a layer of sand was just a thin piece of wooden board.
Several radar vehicles also drilled out of the sand, unfolded quickly, and started to rotate frantically.
Tens of kilometers southwest, a huge fleet of fighter jets was quickly approaching the direction of Baghdad.
"Five minutes of rapid fire, all the shells will be fired out!" On the battlefield, the tweeter sounded.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The anti-aircraft guns had a dull sound, and they began to ring in this area.
Hundreds of anti-aircraft guns had no aim at all. The muzzles began to shoot quickly in the direction of the enemy aircraft formation. Countless shells instantly flew towards the sky with sharp whistling sounds, as if they were about to escape from the gravity of the earth and fly into the universe.
The higher the speed of the shells is, the slower the speed of the planets will be under the action of gravity.
At the end, he stopped suddenly and began to fall down.
"Bang!" A slight explosion sounded, and then a huge shell exploded, revealing a black dust-filled object from it.
These black dust begin to float away in a further direction as the air flow moves.
"Bang!"
Countless shells began to explode at different heights, and the shrapnel of these shells did not explode far into the surroundings. Each burst of black dust turned out from it, and continued to expand towards the surroundings as the airflow moved.
In less than a minute, in the sky in front of the Iraqi anti-aircraft gun position, people on the ground could see that the originally blue sky had turned black and gray, and this black and gray field was constantly expanding.
The airspace of dozens of kilometers was dyed black. At the same time, with the flow of air, this black area was constantly expanding.
If there is no black area in a certain place, a shell will soon appear, explode instantly, and then dye the area black.
In the huge US aircraft formation, several F15 fighters are escorted on the outside, and more than a dozen F111 general-purpose bombers in the middle. At the same time, there are several F-117 stealth fighters that the US has not yet made many appearances.
"Alarm, Iraq's anti-aircraft artillery fire has opened!"
When the first shell appeared in the sky, the radar on the US fighter planes detected, and the alarm continued to sound.
Then, the dense artillery fire turned the radar screen into red.
"Raise!" In the huge formation, the captain made a decisive judgment as an old pilot who participated in the Vietnam War.
Originally, it was only flying at an altitude of 8,000 meters, and the nose of the entire formation quickly rose up and climbed up quickly.
The flight altitude of the fighter jets is far inferior to that of the bomber. However, before climbing to a height of 14,000 meters, the US pilots discovered the shape of the sky ahead, and the dense formations made them dare not turn easily, otherwise, this would cause a collision with the fighter jets next to them.
The communication channels of the entire formation have become chaotic.
