Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 961 Space-based weapons

ps: Double-opening two books, or two books of different types and completely different characters of the protagonist, making it gorgeous nowadays is a big brainstorm.Not only must think about old books, but also think about new ones.

I really hope that everyone can support and understand more. Gorgeous is grateful for it!

————The following text————

In the base console, in front of Li Lan is a simulated map of the entire territory of Port Said Province, Egypt.

Port Said is the Mediterranean exit port of the Suez Canal and the only entrance that guards the Mediterranean to the Red Sea.

The second Middle East war launched by Britain, France and the Three Kingdoms was to obtain this area, control Port Said, and thus control the Suez Canal.

It was just that it was opposed by the whole world at the beginning, so it had to end the war hastily and withdraw troops.

It is also because of this that opened up the true contradictory relationship between Egypt and Israel for decades.

This can be called a battleground for military strategists, and it is an important part of American control of this area.

The U.S. military has military bases in Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, and Egypt, spanning Europe, Asia, and Africa. It controls the passages of the Black Sea, Eastern Mediterranean, Red Sea and Persian Gulf, and can support maritime operations in the Eastern Mediterranean and Indian Oceans. It can also support land operations in the Middle East and Africa. Its strategic position is very important and it is an important wing of Europe.

Among them, the status of Egypt and Turkey are particularly important. Although there is no need to guard the Black Sea, Turkey is an important guarantee for the European NATO Corps to enter the Middle East.

By then, the whole of Turkey will be the main logistic force of NATO's combat forces in the Middle East, and the importance of its status is self-evident.

And Egypt is also important here.The Red Sea has long been the world of Somalia, even if the US military is strong, they dare not be under the threat of Somalia's land-based electromagnetic railgun.Going to the Red Sea is definitely looking for death.

It can be said that the entire Red Sea to the east of the Sinai Peninsula that connects Africa and Asia is not a place where NATO troops can fight smoothly.

In order to ensure the situation in the Mediterranean, NATO had to guard the Mediterranean exit of Egypt's Suez Canal, so that Somali ships could not enter the Mediterranean smoothly.

Because NATO wants to continue to have the initiative in war, the Mediterranean must be firmly in its hands, even if a Somali submarine arrives.All can be called unstable factors.

NATO’s large number of military weapons and troops need to be rushed to the Mediterranean for transportation and turnover, which can transfer large numbers of ground troops.Fast delivery to the Middle East and Africa, maintaining sustainable offensive capabilities in the Middle East and Africa.

Therefore, no one can lose control of the Suez Canal.

For Li Lan, there are not so many ideas.His only idea now is to open up the only land connection between Africa and the Middle East.In this way, his ground troops can enter the Middle East battlefield by themselves.

There is no need to rely entirely on air and sea transportation, and there is one more route to go forward.

It can also open up the ties between Egypt and Saudi Arabia, allowing oil from the Middle East to be quickly transported overland to the front lines of the battlefield in northern Africa.

Because everyone knows that the most critical place for NATO to win the war is northern Africa, and NATO coalition forces can only land from northern Africa.

This is the main battlefield in Africa, and the supply of frontline troops is very important for both Somalia and NATO.

From Saudi Arabia to Egypt.It is much shorter and much more efficient than the supply line directly from the Somali Federation.

So anyway.The oil transportation lines must be kept open, and the passage from Egypt to Saudi Arabia must also be kept open.

This has also created a situation where both sides have different goals, but the same effect.

To the northeast of Port Said, there is a hilly plain. On the Sinai Plain, hundreds of miles away, there are almost no civilians inhabited. The U.S. garrison in Egypt is also concentrated in this place, and further east is the Sinai Desert.

There is a long-term water shortage and dry land, which is not suitable for people to survive.

Perhaps officially for this reason, the U.S. Army and Navy have stationed a force of nearly 3,000 people here, of which nearly half are the Marine Corps, with a large number of heavy weapons, and the rest are affiliated with the Army in addition to the Navy. Two special operations battalions of the special forces and a forward base of operations in the Delta.

The entire camp covers a huge area, and has a large airport dedicated to the supply of transport aircraft for take-off and landing. If necessary, it can also become a temporary transfer point base for fighter jets.

Today, the Dhahran Air Base in Saudi Arabia has been destroyed by Saudi and Somali fighters, and the fighters inside have also been exhausted. The entire air base has also been completely occupied by the main Saudi army.

Jubail Naval Base in Saudi Arabia, Manama Naval Base in Bahrain, and Cape Banas Naval Base in Egypt. These three naval bases guarding the Middle East and Africa were also abandoned by the NATO Joint Command before the war. Therefore, Egypt This station in the province of Hong Kong has become particularly important.

Fierce fighting has broken out for an hour, and a large number of troops on both sides are strengthening this area.

Attacking global hot spots in one hour is the slogan of the Americans, and this slogan is based on more than 300 military bases all over the world.

However, NATO's efficiency is definitely the world's top. In one hour, the multi-national NATO Marine Corps has three reinforced battalion heavy forces to support the theater, strengthening the defense of the military base.

This increased the force here to five thousand, and relying on the fire support provided by the Mediterranean Fleet, it has never been at a disadvantage.

However, this is also due to the fact that the main force of the Red Police Corps has not yet arrived. As the vanguard, the 3rd Paratrooper Division is a fast-deployed, lightly armed unit. It is almost the same model as the US Rangers, without any heavy weapons at all.

Even artillery and light armored vehicles are few, and the number of automatic combat robots attached to them is not many.

The termination of this force means that within half an hour of the outbreak of the war, it can reach any surrounding theater at any time.

The aircraft used to carry them is not a transport aircraft in the traditional sense, but a medium-sized fast transport aircraft that can enter supersonic cruise flight.A transport aircraft model derived from a lightning supersonic bomber.

The biggest feature of this model is speed. Although the range is less than 5,000 kilometers, it can always fly at supersonic speed.Can quickly transport paratroopers to hot spots.

The Third Paratrooper Division arrived in Port Said Province in half an hour from Eritrea on this transport plane.

It's just that the cabin of this bomber cannot accommodate large-scale ground combat equipment and can only serve light infantry. Therefore, every soldier in the 3rd Paratrooper Division can only be lightly loaded.

But it is said to be light infantry, but it also carries a large number of portable air defense missiles and anti-tank missiles.Heavy machine guns and light machine guns, as well as anti-material weapons, can be quite a bit.

After Egypt chose the Somali Federation, the Third Paratrooper Division had only one combat mission.Launched an offensive against the US military base in Port Said.

Egyptian ground forces will also assist.

It's just that the battle has been going on for almost an hour, due to the lack of main ground combat equipment.The battle result of the 3rd Paratrooper Division was not very satisfactory.

To this.Li Lan did not have the slightest dissatisfaction. The meaning of the Third Paratrooper Division is not to fight the enemy in the wilderness, but to quickly reach hot spots to buy time for the follow-up heavy forces.

It also provides a safer parachute environment for the subsequent heavy parachute troops.

"Where is the First Paratrooper Division now?" This is the third time Li Lan has asked this question. The First Paratrooper Division is the only heavy paratrooper unit. There are not only paratrooper tanks, but also a lot of automation. Combat equipment.

Currently, the Third Paratrooper Division uses a large number of terrorist robots.The U.S. military's heavy equipment has been severely restricted, but due to the lack of main offensive weapons.It is impossible to launch a forceful attack ignoring the casualties.

Therefore, the support of heavy equipment is very much needed. Time on the battlefield is life, and Li Lan has to ask again and again.

He knew very well that every question he made was a urge, but the First Paratrooper Division was riding a Kunpeng transport plane. The speed of this transport plane was only 1,000 kilometers per hour. It took off from Eritrea and reached the war zone. One thousand seven hundred kilometers.

Although the departure has been half an hour earlier, there are still two to three hundred kilometers away from the war zone.

"It will take at least ten minutes." Natasha reported quickly.

"Let the transport machine be as fast as possible, how is the enemy's reinforcement situation?" Li Lan first urged, then asked immediately.

"So far, the three amphibious reinforcement battalions of the NATO coalition have all landed under the transport of air-cushion landing craft. One of the three reinforcement battalions is a heavy battalion of the First Division of the US Marine Corps, equipped with twelve latest The m1a3 fourth-generation main battle tank has a thickness of main battle armor that can completely withstand our enhanced version of the third-generation half-apocalypse tank. The bottom armor has also been thickened. Our terrorist robots may be difficult to damage.

Only our fourth-generation Apocalypse tank can cause fatal damage to it.The tank is also equipped with the latest laser combat system, which can intercept or attack helicopters, soldiers, and incoming missiles. The laser launch frequency is still unknown."Natasha said quickly.

"This is normal. After these years, Russia has picked up the t-95 project again. After so many years of stimulation, the technology of the fourth-generation US main battle tank has become quite mature." Li Lan nodded. , I am progressing, the enemy is also progressing.

Especially during wars, the most stimulating advances in armaments and technology, there is no environment that can squeeze human potential more than war.

World War II was the best example. The United States, which claims to have been leading the world in science and technology for 20 years, has been stimulated by Somalia for a long time. If there is no significant development, Li Lan will now have no worries.

Obviously, the strong scientific research national strength of the Americans has also made great progress in the equipment of the US military, and the sixth-generation fighters are probably already in secret test flights.

Although there is no clear data and intelligence, Li Lan is very clear that the United States, which has owned fifth-generation fighters for nearly two decades, absolutely has the most advanced position in the development and characterization of sixth-generation fighters.

The United States is also in a state of accumulation, and a large number of high-tech weapons will emerge in endlessly.

Because Somalia is the same, the enhanced version of the Black Hawk fighter is the fifth generation, and the elite is the sixth generation.

This is also the current Red Police fighter unit that is still under development.And the test model.It has already been subjected to aerodynamic tests and body strength tests in the wind tunnel.

Therefore, Li Lan was not surprised by the rapid development of the US military over the years.

m1a3 is derived from m1a2.It belongs to the fourth-generation main battle tank developed secretly by the United States. The external code name is an enhanced version of m1a2, but it is just another enhanced version of the m1 series designed by the US military to confuse the outside world.

In fact, the m1a3 is completely independent of the m1a2. It is a brand new main battle tank, and it is also the world's second fourth-generation main battle tank officially equipped with troops.

The war had just begun, and the U.S. Army sent its ace Marines.The fourth-generation main battle tank was also brought on, which shows the confidence and ambition of the US military.

"The United States wants to take this battle to regain the honor and dignity of the US military. It seems that it really does not hesitate to pay for it." Li Lan commented lightly.

"It's me instead. I will do the same. Let a victory boost the morale of the troops and break the myth of the enemy's long-term undefeated." Tan Ya continued.

"Unfortunately, the Americans made the wrong calculation." Li Lan's mouth curled up.There was a little ironic smile.Asked: "Where is the vanguard of the Fourth Assault Army?"

"I have entered the territory of Egypt, and it will take at least eight hours to reach Port Said." Natasha said.

"Okay, don't urge the Fourth Assault Army, let them build up their strength, as long as they can reach the battlefield within ten hours." Li Lan ordered.

"Then even with the participation of the First Paratrooper Division, it will be difficult for us to capture the NATO coalition forces in Port Said. Even if we attack, it will be difficult to defend." Natasha reminded.

"Our main air force is now entangled with NATO air force in the southern Mediterranean, and the air force that has been moving around. They are all going to the southern Mediterranean airspace to support. There is almost no possibility that fighters can go to support. Otherwise, the NATO coalition fleet will Cross the battlefield to support Port Said." Tan Ya continued.

"I know all of this. Where is the bomber?" Li Lan nodded and asked.

"The bomber force is over the Red Sea at the moment, and it will enter Egypt in ten minutes. The estimated time to arrive at the battlefield is one hour and ten minutes later." Natasha said here, after a pause, she continued: "NATO bombers. , I’m afraid it’s on the way now."

"Then make this battle a bit more violent." At this point, Li Lan changed her voice and asked: "What actions does the US anti-satellite missile do?"

"There is no action yet. The best place to attack our satellite is in the Indian Ocean, and the best place for us to attack NATO satellites is in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Within the current control of both sides, we have 27 Two low-Earth orbit satellites are within the attackable range of NATO, and NATO satellites, 231 are within the attack range of our anti-satellite weapons, and nearly 100 of them have extremely high attack value. "Natasha introduced.

"Let the Supreme Commander immediately come up with the best attack plan, and the Star Destruction Plan is ready to be implemented. I don't want to see so many eyes on my head. At the same time, order the whole army to pay full attention to the superpower of the US military. High-speed missiles. As well as satellite-to-ground strike weapons." Li Lan looked straight and ordered very seriously.

In addition to the conventional weapons of the US military, supersonic weapons and ubiquitous satellites have always been Li Lan's focus on guarding, especially the weapon satellites in the satellites. The US military’s weapons of the Battle of God are no longer conceptual weapons.

This type of weapon can be said to be indefensible from the ground. It is an absolute conventional super-mass destruction strategic weapon. This type of weapon can easily destroy most of the city, using only kinetic energy to kill.

Some people may say that the rod of God looks like a divine tool, but it is actually tasteless.It is very likely that it will eventually be eliminated by the cruel laws of war like the "Paris Cannon", but after many tests, Li Lan paid great attention to it.

Many years ago, scientists in the combat laboratory conducted an experiment in which a metal rod with a diameter of ten centimeters, a length of about two meters, and a weight of half a ton was accelerated and dropped from a transport plane at an altitude of two meters. The speed of the system reached the speed of Mach 3. As a result, the metal rod attacked the experimental base at a depth of 100 meters underground very smoothly, and caused a huge impact and damage to the surrounding ground.

If it is replaced by a metal rod weighing several tons and dropped from a thousand kilometers of space, and the speed has reached Mach 11 or more, according to the calculation result of the kinetic energy detection, the instantaneous impact lethality reaches 10,000 tons of tnt equivalent. And it can hit a depth of at least 600 meters underground.

In the case of Bagua City, only one piece can damage most of the city, and three pieces can turn the entire city into ruins.

Therefore, how can Li Lan not pay attention to such weapons, because they are the most likely to replace nuclear weapons as a new generation of strategic deterrent weapons. The most important thing is that, humanitarianly, such weapons are more acceptable than nuclear weapons.

The United States has deployed space-based kinetic energy weapons several years in advance. It is also because of the rapid development of satellite technology in Somalia in recent years that the United States is deeply threatened. With a large amount of capital investment, it was able to successfully deploy this weapon.

So far, only Somalia and the United States have similar air strike weapons.The Russian side is also stepping up its deployment, and the specific deployment to the extent that it can be combated is not yet known.

Therefore, the two parties must be vigilant to each other, and perhaps no one dares to use it to prevent the other's retaliation, or some people will take the lead in using it.

At this time, anti-satellite has also become very necessary. If you can find a chance to kill the opponent's space-based weapon, then anyone can use the weapon presumptuously without worrying about incurring the same retaliation.

At the same time, over the edge of the vast desert in Port Said Province, Egypt, hundreds of Kunpeng transport aircraft obscured a large area of ​​the sky, and thousands of umbrella flowers slowly fell from the tail of the transport aircraft.
