Super military empire

This order only requires their fighters to carry out an indiscriminate attack on Baghdad.

Such orders are commonplace for the US military.

When they are seriously threatened, they don't care about the casualties of enemy civilians.These untouchables deserve to die and must be buried for the outstanding American soldiers.

The reason why no one in the entire headquarters raised objections, because the casualties on this day have completely exceeded the casualties they had expected in the entire war.Initially, the US military assessed that based on the current comparison of the air forces between the two sides and the situation of the Iraqi air defense forces, they estimated that the loss of fighter jets would not exceed fifty.

However, in just one day, or less than ten hours, the amount they lost has made them intolerable.

The lost fighters included 36 f14s in three squadrons, 24 f15s in two squadrons, three costing more than 100 million U.S. dollars, the most advanced stealth bomber f117 in the United States, and 18 a-6 and a-7 joint attack aircraft!

At the same time, it also includes 34 c130 transport aircraft.

Over a hundred aircraft of various types were lost in one day.

Even the U.S. military cannot afford such damage.

Therefore, it is necessary to issue an indiscriminate attack order.

The headquarters does not care about such things. This is revenge, and it must be clear to the other party.

Anyone who is an enemy of the U.S. military will be swept into the dust of history.

Indiscriminate attack means that civilian casualties are no longer considered.Such things are not uncommon in the wars the US military has experienced. In almost every war, the US military will do such things.In the end, it was just an accidental bomb.

What about the country that was bombed?

Even if other countries help to speak, what can they do?It did not affect their fundamental interests. In the end, it was just a few words of condemnation.

The United States doesn't even care.

As a result, in various bases in Saudi Arabia, a large number of fighters, with the efforts of sleepy pilots and ground crews, began to prepare for the biggest air strike after World War II.

"The Americans are crazy? They have so many fighters?" Looking at the hundreds of red dots marked on the satellite map, they came straight to Baghdad.

Obviously, this is chasing their Air Force fighters.

The gap between the two sides is not too great.

After the Iraqi fighters entered the Baghdad air defense firepower network, the US fighters were already less than 50 kilometers away from Baghdad.In this area, Iraq does not have long-range air defense weapons. The original graphite dust has been reduced to a minimum under the action of water vapor in the air. The US fighter planes are tracking the air defense flight trajectory of the previous Iraqi fighter planes.

"Call the satellites and follow the places where these fighters land! The first batch to blow up these places!"

Now that the indiscriminate attack order has been issued, there is nothing conservative about the command.

The reconnaissance aircraft and electronic countermeasure aircraft in the sky had not had time to take effect before, and the enemy’s missiles would have chased them. If they hadn’t run fast, had a long enough distance, and had a high enough height, they would have been shot down long ago.Now through the refueling of the aerial tanker, it has once again returned to the airspace near Baghdad.

"Commander, Iraq's air defense capabilities are still very strong, and their radar stations have not been damaged. Shall we attack the radar stations first to make them blind?" A staff officer raised an objection.

It is night, and if fighters enter the airspace of Baghdad on a large scale, they will easily be severely hit by the dense air defense fire on the ground.

Schwarzkopf wants to object, but Powell has already spoken

"Order the Nighthawk Squadron to carry out the bombing as originally planned. These radar stations must be bombed before dawn. All ground attack aircraft are on standby!" As the chief of staff, his order is not easy to question."We have lost enough, and now we can't lose too much!"

His reason is convincing.

Although the f117 is a stealth bomber, it is not enough for the United States. Radar can still detect it, but the reflection cross section is much smaller than that of ordinary fighters.

Schwarzkopf calmed down now.

They can no longer afford to lose.

"Let our fighter formation bypass the Baghdad air defense firepower network and launch air-to-surface missiles long-range. Solve the peripheral targets first." Schwarzkopf thought for a while and said.

The fighter plane in the distance was already close to an area of ​​20 kilometers in the airspace of Baghdad.

These fighters not only carry air-to-air missiles, although most of them are air-to-air missiles for support.

"The southern anti-aircraft artillery unit, throw graphite bombs on me! Let them enter our air defense firepower net!" Saddam was very excited when faced with such a large-scale attack.

Because those fighters have entered the area between the anti-aircraft artillery and the Baghdad air defense firepower network.

The anti-aircraft gun positions in the suburbs were originally set up to pit the old American fighters. Each position can basically only be used once. The positions in the southwest suburbs had just moved, and it was unexpected that American fighters would break into the air defense firepower. The middle of the net.

Saddam has never worried about Baghdad's air defense. There is no long-range air defense, but there is a medium-range air defense firepower network, and more are short-range.

The role of the artillery position is to shield, so that the opponent's fighters cannot quickly penetrate the defense.

"Free shooting!" After receiving the order issued by the president himself, the anti-aircraft guns that had not yet entered the concealed position moved quickly.

They cannot see the target in the sky, but the Baghdad radar station behind them can be their shadow.

Under the operation of skilled officers and soldiers, the muzzle of the anti-aircraft guns originally hung down quickly began to rise upwards.

"Boom!" As the gun of the first gun popped out of its chamber, the entire huge area began to sound intensively.

In the darkness, only one fire was seen spreading, and then no others were seen.

"Anti-aircraft guns! Pay attention to concealment!" The U.S. fighter planes have not yet entered this area, and they are about to aim at the targets that are constantly firing up from the ground. These targets will soon disappear. What is this not an anti-aircraft gun?

Especially these shells disappeared quickly in the sky, they naturally understood.

However, the headquarters did not tell them the effect of this graphite bomb, and it did not let them pay attention to the black areas of the sky.

This night, I can’t even see...

"These bastards thought that the anti-aircraft guns could kill us? Could our former comrades be ambushed by their anti-aircraft guns?"

"Shoot!"

"This is a joke!"

"Don't they know that even those fighters during World War II would require thousands of shells on average to fight another one?"

In the US military’s communications channel, the pilots didn’t care about ground-based anti-aircraft guns.

Even at an altitude of 10,000 meters, the speed of anti-aircraft gun shells is not as fast as that of fighter planes.

The group of fighter planes whizzed and flew over this airspace, and the anti-aircraft guns were still firing continuously, and the muzzle raising angle on the ground was continuously adjusted downwards, making the height of the cannonballs not enough, but the range became longer.

"These bastards, don't you know that they are doing useless work?"

"Don't pay attention to those ants, find out those sneaky mice, and kill them!" The formation commander said with a smile, and did not silence the chaotic communication channel.

The contact with the headquarters has always been maintained, and there is no other order other than the previous order to carry out indiscriminate bombing of Baghdad.

If the performance of these bastards is known to the uncles of the headquarters, although there will be no serious consequences, they are naturally too lazy to trouble.

So, the commander closed the communication channel with the headquarters.

This is basically a very normal thing for the US military in fighter jets.

They don’t think that the Iraqi Air Force’s fighter jet formation has killed their escort formation, or that their friendly forces have turned off the identification friend or foe system and followed the Iraqi fighter jets.

The headquarters did not announce to the entire army that a number of fighters had been killed in the afternoon.

Moreover, it crashed suddenly.

Even, the impact of graphite dust bombs on fighters has not been announced.It did not tell the fighter formation that they had 36 fighters killed by 24 fighters of the Iraqi Air Force.Although, not only 24 planes, in the end many were surrounded by two sides and killed.

The US pilots of the entire reinforcement formation have always believed that the headquarters was trying to get them to avenge the Iraqis for attacking the 24th Infantry Division.

"Command from the headquarters, ordering an indiscriminate attack on Baghdad!"

"We all carry air-to-air missiles. Can these missiles hit the ground?"

"That is, to attack the ground, you should let the grandfathers like Liu Ye and Qi Ye do it, or it's our hens who lay eggs!"

"These rats disappeared in this piece of airspace, there is no airport here!"

The communication channel is still messy, but the formation is not at all chaotic.

A huge group of fighters, divided into several directions, kept a distance and searched along this area.

This is the outskirts of Baghdad, and the ground air defense firepower is not dense, so until now, except for the anti-aircraft artillery position on the south side, the artillery shells are still being sprayed to the high altitude.

This is the case, the frequency of shelling on the air defense gun positions has also dropped a lot.

Poor Iraqi artillery, on this day, I don't know how many shells were fired, and the gun barrels hadn't cooled down before they started shooting again.

"Those Iraqis, don't you know that they are just doing useless work like this?"

"No, they are telling Saddam that they are serious..."

"Saddam is going to cry? He started the war because he had no money. Now his artillery is wasting their little ammunition..."
