1568 Even the transport planes join the attack(1/2)
"Boom~Boom~Boom~"
A series of rockets exploded in the armored cluster.
The flames generated by the rocket explosion flashed away, and several BMP-1 vehicles in the Iraqi armored forces exploded under the sneak attacks of these sudden rockets.
Faced with the sneak attack of anti-armored rockets, Colonel Tirad quickly reacted.
Even though they were always on guard, they were still attacked.
The damn and cunning American actually used this method!
For the first time, Colonel Tirad felt that the powerful Soviet T-72 tank was so powerless.
"Kill them! Use grenades and heavy machine guns! Pay attention to air defense!"
Tirad has always been beaten by the US armed helicopters because of their lack of air defense firepower. Now the US Army on the opposite side has come to insult them, how can they bear it?
"Boom~Boom~Boom..."
Not only the T-72 tank gun was roaring, but even the 73mm low-pressure smoothbore gun on the BMP-1 was roaring.
Even more than a dozen T-72s did not care whether the other party had more ambush, and they frantically chased the m60a3 tanks of the US Marine Corps, which were fighting and retreating, and fired in turn.
"Boom~"
With an explosion, the m60a3, which evacuated a turret at high speed, suddenly fell into bed.
"Boom~Boom~Boom..."
Several armor-piercing bombs hit the m60a3 tank that was lying in a nest. The tank finally exploded into a fireball with a "boom".
The attack had an effect, and the Iraqi army's tanks did not stop at all, and chased the remaining m60a3 tanks directly.
The Iraqi offensive forces, which were disturbed by the US military, vowed to wipe out all these US troops.
"Boom boom boom..."
A series of shells kept exploding balls of fire on the positions, causing a large amount of mud and sand.
"Dadada..."
The juxtaposed machine guns on the T-72 tank were also roaring, with long guns and a large number of bullets hit the US military on the position and could not raise its head at all.
"Call for air support, why haven't the Air Force arrived yet?"
Hefgie's commander was almost desperate now.
As the Iraqi army's offensive became stronger, the pressure on the defensive positions increased sharply.
The Air Force hasn't arrived yet.
"Captain, there are still ten minutes for the Navy to support us to arrive, and the Army's First Armored Division has twenty minutes... Air Force, Air Force has not dispatched fighter jets..."
The communications officer's face was full of concern.
"Why didn't the Air Force come?"
The captain was very unaware of why the Air Force that should have arrived at the earliest did not appear. The armed helicopters of the Continental Airlines regiment that supported them had already fired air ammunition and returned to support them again, which took constant time.
Originally, there were support from the naval aircraft carrier fleet from the sea, and no artillery positions were arranged nearby for defense.
Why didn't the Air Force come? How did a company's communications consultant know?
"Order the troops to withstand and wait for the reinforcements to come!" The captain thought that it would be a problem to hold on for another twenty minutes.
It was not a problem to fight and retreat before.
"Boom~"
Another m60a3 was besieged and exploded by three T-72 tanks. The remaining five tanks could no longer withstand it, regardless of the fact that they were using their flesh and blood to resist the ground forces of Iraqi armored forces on their positions.
"Want to run away? Kill them!"
Seeing that the remaining US tanks were about to retreat, Colonel Tirad once again ordered more tanks to siege.
The US military on the position was so suppressed that it could not raise its head at all. The individual anti-tank rocket launcher was also consumed a lot and could no longer pose a serious threat to these armored vehicles. The infantry inside the armored vehicles also came down and moved forward slowly with the tanks and tanks.
"Boom~"
"Boom~"
Under the encirclement of more than 20 tanks and more than ten bmp-1 infantry fighting vehicles, they all fell into bed soon.
The bright lights of several tanks shine on these tanks.
"Let them surrender, and if they don't surrender, they will blow up their tanks!"
Tirad thought that he should still capture some prisoners to avoid letting the Americans continue to bombard them wantonly.
"Everyone listened, you have been surrounded and surrendered immediately, and we will be held captives in accordance with the Geneva Convention..."
"You guys wait a moment, we need to discuss..."
Soon, someone inside the tank was lying down and reacted.
Tirad looked down at the night sky, and the Americans were delaying time!
"Let them come out immediately, or fire them!" The commander knew that American fighter planes would appear soon.
"Come out immediately or we will fire!"
The tanks were in vain. Under the threat of the Iraqis, the tank soldiers inside surrendered without much hesitation.
The speed of these tank soldiers was very slow when they came out of the tank.
"Hurry up, put your hands where we can see."
"Catch these people, enter Hefji, strengthen defense..." Colonel Tirad left only a few infantry fighting vehicles to capture the prisoners, and ordered the remaining team to drive into Hefji, who had been empty.
Only by relying on the city can they avoid becoming a living target and being attacked by American fighter jets.
The armored troops of the National Defense Forces suffered a lot since the beginning of the Kuwait War. Under the command of the commander, no one was careless and drove the tank carefully towards the middle of the city.
"boom……"
In the sky, there was a violent roar of the fighter jet engine when working.
"Air strike!"
Without Colonel Tirad reminding, other units already know.
The entire team did not get too close from the beginning.
In the sky, 6 AV-8b Harrier vertical/short take-off and landing fighters have arrived.
Most of these fighter jets bought by the United States from the British were covered with bombs under the wings.
It was originally used to carry out bombing of Iraqi troops in Kuwait, but after receiving the order Hefji needed to support, he rushed over immediately.
"These turtle-like Iraqi armored troops dare to come out! Let them taste the power of cluster bombs!"
In the av-8b Harrier fighter, the pilot looked at the tanks that appeared on the ground, maneuvered wildly, and stirred up dust. He wanted to prevent the fighter jets in the air from locking the target, and laughed coldly.
The weapons hanging points under the wings of these Harrier fighters are full of cluster bombs.
When the fleet was about to fly over the Iraqi armored cluster, the pilots pressed the bomb drop button without any hesitation.
After bundles of cluster bombs left the weapon rack, they began to fall freely towards the ground.
There is no acceleration from the tail engine, nor the kind of precisely guided bombs that can adjust the attack landing point.
A Harrier fighter was hung under the wings of 12 bundles of cluster bombs, and six fighters slowly flew over the armored cluster, falling densely like laying eggs.
The bundles of cluster bombs, the faster they go down.
"Puff~"
When bundles of cluster bombs were fifty or sixty meters above the ground, they exploded in the middle.
"Baobabababababa..."
The small bomb that was blown up fell to the ground at a higher speed and faster like a heavy rain.
"Boom boom boom..."
A series of explosions exploded in the area where the tanks were located, and a series of sand and dust rose.
"besides!"
Behind, several f/a-18 combat/attack aircraft also arrived.
The pilots of the av-8b Harrier fighter did not leave either.
Just watching from the side, after all, the f/a-18 is far more advanced than the Harrier, and even replaced the most powerful F-14 fighter in the minds of naval pilots.
"Boom boom boom..."
The ammunition carried by the f/a-18 combat/attack aircraft is different from the Harrier fighter, most of which are heavy bombs.
Without any nonsense, the bomb was dropped directly into the Iraqi armored cluster on the ground.
After the ground attack bombs under the wings were delivered, these heavy fighters did not leave, but hovered in the air and lowered their heights, and began to use the m61 type 20mm six-barrel cannon equipped with the nose to start attacking Iraqi armored forces on the ground.
"These bastards come too fast!"
To be continued...
