1473 The Fall of the American Major General
In terms of air defense, the 24th Infantry Division not only has the Avengers air defense system, but also has a large number of air defense machine guns. The 36-gun anti-aircraft guns are not able to form a dense air defense fire network even if they are improved and have greatly enhanced their rate of fire.
The Americans are not considering intercepting missiles, but defending against air attacks.
The Avengers air defense system consists of two quad-mounted missile launchers and a close-defense machine gun. The missiles here are the famous U.S. stings short-range air defense missiles.
The performance of this missile is advanced enough for the Americans. However, it has not undergone too many practical tests. After all, the maximum flight speed is only 660 meters per second, less than Mach 2. The range is only 300 meters to 5,000 meters, and the shooting height is only 10 meters to 3,000 meters. It is used to deal with helicopters and backward fighter jets, with superior performance.
However, it is now dealing with Scud missiles with a speed of more than Mach 3!
They also learned from Baghdad, wanting to use dense firepower networks to explode the attacking missiles.
In the entire town, there are only 36 air defense missile launch systems, which cannot form the dense firepower network over Baghdad.
"Kill these missiles for me!" James roared. "Bastard! What's the use of air defense machine guns so far? It's a waste. Stop me and launch missiles!"
The Iraqis were too brave. The first air attack was attacked, and the second time they actually used missiles to attack directly!
It was already bright, and the missiles in the sky were not very obvious.
"Swish!" The stinger missile of the Avengers air defense system dragged its long tail flames into the sky with its sound of heavy machine guns. Before this, the 12.7mm caliber near-proof machine gun on the Avengers system turned off the near-proof machine gun when firing the missile under the control of the shooting control sensor.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!" Each Avengers air defense system flew towards hundreds of targets in the sky at a speed of three seconds apart.
However, these stingers were all produced by the US military in the 1970s and their performance was not advanced enough.
The infrared guidance method makes many of these missiles pounce on the anti-aircraft gun shells.
"boom!"
The first poisonous stinger fired, and it pounced on an anti-aircraft gun shell, turned into a huge fireball in the sky.
Of course, it is not as dazzling as at night.
"Secretary Commander, look!" The orderly soldier next to the division commander pointed at the hundreds of highlights that appeared in the sky at the same time, and was shocked.
Did the Iraqis launch all their Scud missiles at them?
Do they want to destroy their family's fortunes in one go and then prepare to surrender to the coalition forces?
"How many scuds do Iraqis have?" James was also stupid. "Damn the Soviets!"
At this time, as the commander of the troops attacked by Iraq using Soviet missiles, James had the right to scold the Soviets.
If the damn Soviets hadn't sold so many missiles to the Iraqis, how could they have launched such an attack on the most elite US troops?
Under the operation of the missile operator, the missile launch turret on the Avenger system kept spinning, quickly launching one short-range air defense missile after another.
However, the attacking missile was too fast. When the infrared capture radar of the stinger discovered the target and rushed towards the target, the missiles attacked in the sky were only a few dozen meters away from the ground.
Because of the launch of missiles, the Avenger system's near-defense machine guns are unavailable.
"boom!"
When the first attacking missile exploded in the northeast corner of the town, more missiles landed on the ground.
"Boom boom boom..."
A series of explosions quickly caused small mushroom clouds to rise up in the entire town.
"Boom!" A missile landed on the flat ground of the combat aviation brigade. A helicopter hovered around and was preparing to take off. It was hit by the missile's shrapnel and exploded violently.
"Boom!" The helicopter exploded, causing the helicopter that rotated the surrounding wings to be destroyed.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Three consecutive warheads weighing 300 kilograms exploded in the area between two hundred meters apart from the helicopter parked. The violent explosion not only caused problems with the affected helicopters, but also detonated these helicopters. The parts of the helicopter explosion splashed and headed towards the surrounding helicopters...
In the further area, the US military was fleeing everywhere. At this moment, their command system had no effect at all.
Advanced air defense systems have no way to intercept such a large number of missile attacks.
The Avenger missile launch system is constantly launching missiles into the sky.
Two four-unit missile launchers were quickly emptied, and soldiers began to load eight missiles spared inside the system towards the launcher.
"Boom!" At a height of dozens of meters, a huge missile was hit by the stinger missile flying from the ground and exploded in the air. However, after this explosion, dozens of small bombs shot towards the surroundings from the explosion, forming a series of explosions.
"Woo..." A shrill air defense alarm sounded at the headquarters of the 24th Mechanical and Infantry Division, and the explosion on the ground kept rising towards the surroundings.
The explosions and dense smoke and dust in the entire town have left the tranquility of the past.
Thousands of US troops, before they even had time to find a suitable bunker, were blown away by the missile explosion shock wave falling from high speed in the sky. Many people were even hit by debris after the missile explosion...
At this time, the engine roared wildly, and the soldiers in the car didn't care about their comrades. After starting the car, they rushed forward. Some cars hit their comrades who wanted to get in and escape together, while others collided heavily.
The powerful US military never thought that one day they would face such a serious missile attack.
The huge fleet of fighter jets that flew past from time to time in the sky never thought that they would be hit by the sky.
Many people don’t understand why when they die!
Why do they have the world's most advanced satellite system and a huge reconnaissance and command aircraft group in the sky? They are still under such attacks under the protection of the fighter aircraft group that is propaganda by superiors that suggests that the most reliable security protection above their heads?
From the southwest, dozens of fighter jets coming towards this side at high speed witnessed all this.
The spy satellite in the sky recorded all of this truthfully according to the set procedure, at a speed of three frames per second, and was used to the US Military Command.
At the same time, the reconnaissance aircraft and command aircraft in the sky witnessed all this, but there was no way to solve the current situation.
"Another wave!" Saddam saw the smoke rising from the important border town of Nuhaib through their satellite images, and couldn't help but slapped the table heavily.
Whether his people still exist in the entire town is not within his consideration.
Of course, before that, Nuhabu's army evacuated, it took away all the residents who were willing to leave. No one could do anything if they were unwilling to leave.
"emission!"
In just three minutes, the launch frames where all the missiles were originally launched were loaded with missiles by the engineering vehicle waiting next to them.
These missiles still point slanted towards the sky.
The president's order was issued again. Under the mechanical operation of the soldiers, hundreds of missiles flew towards Nuhaib...
The entire Nuhaib was turned into ruins under the first wave of Iraqi missiles. Countless helicopters were overturned by the violent shock waves of the explosion before they could take off. Many vehicles collided in chaos...
Faced with such chaos, James simply couldn't control the situation.
The entire command system cannot operate effectively at this time.
We were preparing to set off, but the scene was already chaotic. At the moment when the missile exploded, the officer could not find his soldiers, and the soldiers could not find their officers.
In this case, everyone escapes according to their subconscious mind, making the whole scene even more chaotic.
The last explosion stopped, and the destroyed town did not become quiet.
The howlings, pain, scolding, scolding, and even cursing... are all intertwined.
This situation made the entire 24th Mechanical and Infantry Division Command extremely chaotic.
Fortunately, the command center did not suffer much impact in this wave of attack.
James wanted to control the situation, but could not find his communications consultant.
The dust and black smoke rising from the explosion were everywhere outside, and the situation tens of meters away could not be seen clearly.
The radar station also disappeared in this wave of attacks.
However, there is still radar working.
"Woo..." Before Mister could rectify the chaotic situation, the remaining radar vehicles discovered the attacking missile again.
Fighters hovering in the sky fired air-to-air missiles at the attacking missiles.
Several of them exploded.
However, more missiles fell onto the town again.
Especially among these missiles, a large part of them exploded in a area of dozens of meters in the air, and then more small bombs were transferred from the inside and fell towards the ground...
"Teacher, dangerous!" The orderly soldiers saw the division commander's explosions outside, and they became stunned. A missile fell several meters in front of them, and was about to explode. They didn't care that the person in front of them was his superior, and rushed towards Mister from the side.
However, even so, it is still too late.
