Chapter 1440 Throw all the graphite shells out of me

On July 1, at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time, President Bush signed a national security directive to Schwarzkopf, commander of the U.S. Central Headquarters, ordering the U.S. military to go to war on Iraq.The purpose this time is not to liberate Kuwait, but to liberate the people of Kuwait.

The whole world was in an uproar.

The United Nations convened an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with such things.

Before a result was discussed, U.S. fighter planes had taken off from Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Bahrain, Cartel and other countries and flew towards Iraq. These fighter planes carried a huge amount of weapons and ammunition.

The Americans are determined to fight Iraq, anyway, the United Nations has authorized this matter before.

Saddam is obviously trying 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 not strong enough, and he did not return the people of Kuwait, the deadline given by the United Nations had passed. American fighter planes vacated from around Iraq and faced Iraq’s interior. Of military targets were bombed.

After electronic warfare aircrafts such as ef-111, ea-6b and ec-130h took the lead to take off and opened the way, the f-14, f-15c, f-16 and f/a-18 aircraft carried out air cover, f-117 , F-117a, f-111daeaf, a-6, a-10, av-8b, f-15e, b-52 and other bombers as well as ground attack aircraft are directed towards their respective designated targets that have been formulated a long time ago. Conduct aerial bombing.

Within one day, major domestic oil fields, petroleum industrial bases, transportation hubs, military installations and other targets in Iraq were ignited a raging fire.

The world was in an uproar, and the voices condemning the United States suddenly appeared everywhere, but Bush elder Bush ignored it.

Even at the UN meeting, the Americans also said that they need to liberate the people of Kuwait, so the UN quarreled.

China called for a peaceful settlement. The Soviet Union looked like a lively scene. Britain and France even expressed that they are very busy and need help from the United Nations...

Therefore, war or something has also brought the world to life.

As long as the United States is not at war with the Soviet Union, then it will not affect everyone's lives, right?

On the battlefield in the Middle East, the first day of air strikes began, and the subsequent air strikes could not stop.

In Iraq, except for a small number of anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns, which were conducting discontinuous counterattacks, they were soon bombed by US ground attack aircraft and bombers, and then disappeared, basically not encountering decent resistance.

Even so, the U.S. military still did not give up, nor did it make any notifications to the Iraqi side. One wave of bombing was unfinished, and another wave of bombing continued.

Baghdad, the focus of Iraq’s defense, and Basra, the second largest city, have not yet encountered US bombing in this war.

"Keep on bombing for me! Paralyze the bombing of the entire Iraq!" When the commander of the U.S. military got the situation on the front line, the Iraqi Air Force did not prevent its effective resistance, and even their missile units were also missing. They were turned into ruins by their powerful bomber formations, and so ordered.

In Saudi Arabia, Lieutenant General Khalid just frowned at this order.

The coalition forces in the Middle East were under his command. The U.S. military did not lack ammunition, but they lacked them. After two waves of aerial bombing, he ordered the Arab coalition forces to stop bombing.

"General Khalid, why are you stopping the bombing!" Schwarzkopf was very dissatisfied with this matter.

Khalid looked at the American commander and said calmly, “Commander, the military expenses of our coalition forces are all borne by us. Iraq has not organized effective resistance. Obviously, they are preserving their strength or not at all. Dare to fight our coalition forces!"

Obviously, the Arab world does not like such wars.

"We are helping you in the Arab world to eliminate the threat! Only by fighting them without any fighting back can Saddam avoid threatening peace in the Middle East again." Schwarzkopf emphasized.

Khalid despised in his heart and said secretly, "Israel is the biggest threat to our Arab world. Why don't you help us to destroy Israel?"

On the surface, he said calmly, "This is an order from His Majesty the King. Since our funds are provided to you, plus our army inventory is not large, so..."

Obviously, we paid for your war anyway.

Schwarzkopf was furious at once, but he had no way of doing this. On the one hand, he ordered the U.S. fighters to continue bombing, and on the other hand, he conveyed the attitude of the Saudi royal family to the country.

In other words, this is the dissatisfaction of the Arab world towards Americans.

Those have nothing to do with military personnel, and the foreign affairs department is responsible for things.

In order to intensify the attack, the warships in the Persian Gulf began to launch Tomahawk cruise missiles at some important targets in Iraq.

"The other party has started launching missiles! We should launch an attack!" Saddam had already hid in the underground command center. Even so far, U.S. fighter planes have not appeared around large cities like Baghdad and Basra, but these cities But finding the attack of Tomahawk missiles.

"No, it's not time yet. If we counterattack now, the effect will not be achieved at all." Liu Suxue looked at all kinds of intelligence, and Iraq is not suffering too much.

Especially the military.

"Woo..." Suddenly, the stern sirens began to sound over Baghdad, and in the combat command room, the warning lights began to flash frantically.

"Come!" Saddam gritted his teeth and said.

The Americans were really not good things. They didn't attack Baghdad in the first place. They bombed the surrounding military bases and transportation hubs.

In just one day, Iraq’s economic losses at least exceeded US$50 billion.

"Order the missile forces to start missile attacks on Bahrain, Israel and other countries!" Saddam gave the order."No. 1 air defense position is on standby, throw the graphite shells out for me!"

In a place dozens of kilometers outside of the southwestern suburbs of Baghdad, it was originally yellow sand or a small oasis. After receiving the order, the yellow sand on the ground was quickly removed, revealing pits in these pits. , Are all large and small anti-aircraft guns, and the pit next to the anti-aircraft guns is full of ammunition.

Originally, at the top of the pit, only a thin wooden board was spread with a layer of sand.

Several radar vehicles also emerged from the sand, unfolded quickly, and turned frantically.

Tens of kilometers away to the southwest, a huge formation of fighter planes is rapidly approaching the direction of Baghdad.

"Five minutes of rapid fire, all shells are shot out!" Above the battlefield, the tweeter sounded.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The dull sound of the anti-aircraft gun began to sound in this area.

Hundreds of anti-aircraft guns did not have any aiming at all. The muzzle began to shoot quickly towards the direction of the enemy aircraft formation. Countless shells flew towards the sky with a sharp whistling sound, as if they were about to escape the gravity of the earth. Fly to the universe.

The further upward, the slower the speed of the projectile will be under the action of gravity.

At the end, it stopped abruptly and began to fall downward.

"Boom!" A slight explosion sounded, and then the huge shell exploded, revealing a black dusty object from inside.

These black dust, along with the movement of the airflow, began to drift further away.

"Boom!"

Countless shells began to explode at different heights. The shrapnel of these shells did not explode too far to the surroundings. Each exploded, a cloud of black dust was transferred from the inside. With the movement of the airflow, it continued The ground spreads around.

In less than a minute, in the sky in front of the Iraqi anti-aircraft gun positions, everyone on the ground can see that the originally blue sky has turned black and gray, and this black and gray field is constantly expanding.

The airspace of tens of kilometers is blackened, and at the same time, with the flow of air, this black area is continuously expanding.

If there is no black area in a certain place, a cannonball will soon appear, explode in an instant, and then blacken the area.

In the US military's huge aircraft formation, several f15 fighters are escorted on the periphery, and more than a dozen f111 general bombers are in the middle. At the same time, there are also several f-117 stealth fighters that the US has not made much appearance.

"Alert, Iraqi anti-aircraft artillery fire has opened!"

When the first cannon popped out into the sky, the radar on the U.S. fighter planes detected it, and the alarm sounded continuously.

Then, the intensive artillery fire made the top of the radar screen all red.

"Pull up!" In the huge formation, the captain, as an old pilot who participated in the Vietnam War, made a decisive judgment.

Originally, it was only flying at an altitude of 8,000 meters, and the nose of the entire formation quickly pulled up and climbed up quickly.

The flying height of fighter jets is far inferior to that of bombers. However, before they climbed to an altitude of 14,000 meters, the US pilots all discovered the shape of the sky in front of them. The dense formation made them dare not easily turn. Otherwise, it will cause a collision with the fighter next to it.

The communication channel of the entire formation has become chaotic.

"Adjust your posture, maximum speed, and rush through!" I don't know what the thick black fog in the sky is. Maybe the Iraqis burned oil underground and blackened the sky in order to cover their ground targets. The area, Baghdad is in front..."
