Super military empire

"Blow me the ground fire!" Seeing that the air defense fire from the ground actually exploded a fighter plane, the commander of the formation couldn't help being furious.

In his opinion, the US military does not have medium and long-range air defense firepower, and even their fighter planes cannot arrive in a short time, so there will be no loss.

As a result, just at the beginning, a Su-22 that had been in service for more than ten years was blown out by a volley.

How can I not be angry?

Several Russian-made ground-to-ground missiles mounted under the wings of several MiG-23 fighters began to fly towards the area on the ground with tongues of fire spewing out.

The ground is already full of gunpowder smoke. U.S. tanks and armored vehicles are still desperately spitting smoke bombs into the surrounding environment. The dust on the ground is stirred by the high-speed tanks and rises even more. It is impossible to see the ground at all. Tank situation.

On the entire ground, tanks no longer break through to the outside, and hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles have made the visibility of an area of ​​tens of square kilometers extremely low.

U.S. tanks and armored vehicles also have poor visibility in such an environment. High-speed tanks and armored vehicles sometimes cannot see the surrounding environment. When turning, they collide heavily with surrounding tanks or armored vehicles. The tank was hit, it's okay, just go back a little bit to solve the problem.

The armored vehicle was hit by a tank weighing more than sixty tons at a speed of more than 70 yards, and quickly rolled over to the ground.

"Move, don't stop, all units fire all smoke bombs to stir up the dust!" The commander of the U.S. military apparently discovered this situation, and kept posting this to all units in the entire team. command.

From a long distance in the sky, it is impossible to see these tanks and armored vehicles looming in the smoke and dust.

And the fighters in the sky were obviously not as aggressive as before. They could not quickly find the target and lock the aim, and then drop the air-to-surface missile.

The Su-22, used for ground bombing missions, has dropped all bombs and is ready to return.

The MiG in the air is still looking for a target.

"Pay attention to the smoke and dust rising from the ground, where the smoke and dust is rising..." The commander apparently discovered this situation.

The other parts of the fighter group had already started bombing. They reached the target first, and there was no way to complete the attack at this time.

"Shoo!" An air-to-surface missile pounced from under the wings of the MiG-23 in front of a huge cloud of smoke that had just risen.

"Boom!" A cloud of gunpowder and dust like a mushroom cloud exploded in an instant.

When the gunpowder became thinner, there was no more smoke and dust in that place.

At the place where it originally exploded, black smoke was blowing from the back of a tank, but it could not move, and the track on one side was broken!

"We need reinforcements. Where are the reinforcements? Where is our air force?" The commander on the ground wanted support from the Ministry of Defense in the command vehicle.

The headquarters is gone, and the air command aircraft has returned to the United States.

They can only connect to the Ministry of Defense and the President through satellite systems.

At this moment in the Communications Office of the Ministry of Defense, no one knew what to do.

"Order nearby fighters to go for rescue! Where is our patrolling fighter?" Bush almost roared and asked his men.

The Ministry of National Defense does not have such a plan. The powerful US military is now facing the bombing of the weak Iraqi Air Force in their eyes!

"Our air force is patrolling the southern region. There are only 23 fighters in the air, and the fastest one will take half an hour to arrive!"

"Order them to rescue!" The president's face was pale."Call me Cheney again, our troops need him to command!"

"Secretary Cheney is not suitable for directing the entire war. Before, he had no experience in commanding large-scale troops..." Someone retorted the president.

The Secretary of Defense of the United States has always been a civilian.

This is a tradition.

But now, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff committed suicide during the war, and the commander of their front-line command, at this time, had been bombed by Iraqis missiles and even the body was not found...

"Negotiating with the Iraqi government and temporarily ceasefire..." Someone made a serious proposal.

The president was taken aback.

"We first negotiate a ceasefire with the Iraqis, rebuild our command system, and then beat them. Under the current circumstances, if we can't rebuild the entire command system, we will fall into infinite passivity!"

The person who proposed this plan was not someone else. It was Admiral David E. Jeremiah at this time. He was only the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Powell was dead and he was the highest person in charge.

"David, now our troops are facing an attack by the Iraqi army and need your command!" The president saw the vice chairman of the joint meeting, as if grabbing a life-saving straw. "Even if we negotiate a ceasefire with them, we must wait until this point. The battle is over..."

David did not shirk and accepted the president's authorization.

He soon began to fulfill his accusations.

First, through the US domestic command system, the 3rd Cavalry Division of the US Army around the Calabar area was mobilized to go northward for rescue, and the 10th Mountain Division, which was part of the 18th Airborne Army and the 3rd Mechanic Infantry Division, was ordered to enter this area for rescue .

The Iraqis' tanks are frantically encircling this side and conducting large-scale ground battles. This is something the US military does not want to see, but it will not work at this time.

The air force also has a large number of air fighters and ground attack aircraft taking off from various airports in Saudi Arabia.

Powell is now communicating with Saudi Arabia and can't manage much.

In Iraq’s territory, the war is continuing.

The Dragon Guards of the Tikrit Army and their coordinated armored units are less than 20 kilometers away from the battlefield. The bombing in the sky continues, and the Iraqi army is also frantically moving towards this. The area rushed over.

The 3rd Cavalry Division, who had not received the order, knew that the friendly army was being beaten at this time, but could not move at all!

"Schet! Order our troops to go north! Beat the Iraqis!" The commander of the 3rd Cavalry Division kept receiving requests for help from Brian, the command of the 3rd Infantry Division North.

Contact with Air Force Command is not very stable.

At present, the front-line command is gone. The Air Force can only conduct command at various bases at home. Where is there still time now?The Iraqi Air Force is systematically bombing the armored units on the ground, but their fighter group is still hundreds of kilometers away. It is unclear whether they have taken off.

"General, we have no orders! This is a very troublesome thing..." the division chief persuaded the commander.Although he also hopes to go to rescue at this time, the problem is that for them, without air support, they cannot face the integrated air and ground operations in Iraq.

"The 24th Mechanic Infantry Division has been annihilated by them. If we do not react now, it is very likely that the 3rd Mechanic Infantry Division will also be eaten by them! This will be a shame to our entire American army!" Third The cavalry division is about to withdraw from the establishment of the unit, the division commander Major General Pershing doesn't care about the bureaucrats of the Ministry of Defense."What's more, explaining to superiors after the war is far easier than persuading the bureaucrats above before the war!"

Commanders of the US military have always had personal heroism plots.

During the war, there are definitely not a few military commanders who do not obey orders.This is caused by the characteristics of the US military, because their military pays more attention to the so-called "human & power."

Without the 3rd Cavalry Division, they would have no meaning at all. To them who came from the military, sitting in an office was completely unimaginable.

And the 10th Mountain Division that had not yet reached Nukhab. At this time, knowing that the third infantry division on the front line was surrounded by the Iraqi army, they began to accelerate their pace. Originally, their mission was to clean up their friendly 24th aircraft. The wreckage of infantry soldiers, put them into body bags, and rescue the wounded...

Now, these tasks have been given to the people in the divisional command and logistics departments, and the combat troops have been mobilized to advance quickly.

This is a light infantry division. Like the annihilated 24th Mechanic Infantry Division and the 3rd Mechanic Infantry Division being besieged, it is also under the US 18th Airborne Corps. The Group Army Command is now ordering them to quickly rescue the 3rd Mechanic Infantry Division. .

Once the Third Mechanic Infantry Division is also killed by the Iraqis, the only U.S. military that has been able to quickly deploy globally will have only half of the casualties left.

The 101st Airborne Assault Division, the 82nd Airborne Division, and the 10th Mountain Division had three divisions whose offensive capabilities were far inferior to those of the 3rd Mechanic Infantry Division and the 24th Mechanic Infantry Division.

On the battlefield, the fighter planes have already dropped their bombs, and the entire battlefield spanning several tens of kilometers is filled with gunpowder.

The Iraqi MiG-25 is performing a reconnaissance mission and reporting the battlefield situation to the rear.

The US Air Force, at this time, still did not appear on the battlefield.

Following the order of David, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, at this time, US fighter jets began to take off at major airports in Saudi Arabia.

The air force of the coalition forces, in any case, does not accept the command of the US Department of Defense at this time.

They even demanded that US troops withdraw from the Middle East.

"Report to the command center, the aerial bombing effect is not ideal. The number of tanks and armored vehicles used by the U.S. military to become scrap is not very large..." The MiG-25 pilots used the high-resolution cameras carried by the fighters to take pictures of the entire battlefield. While reporting the situation to the rear headquarters.

On the southern battlefield, the war continued.

The US armored units on the ground are very chaotic...

However, no one cares about the chaos at this time, the tanks are still moving at high speed, just to prevent the fighters in the air from detecting them.
