Super military empire

"Boom boom boom!" The aerial bombardment continued along the area tens of kilometers west of Calabar city and several kilometers wide.

The sound of explosions on the ground and the roar of engines are continuously transmitted to the surroundings through the large smoke rising up. Through these smoke and dust, you can only vaguely see the shadow of the fast-moving tank or armored vehicle inside.

It’s only more than 100 kilometers away from the supply airfield for some fighter planes. The air bombardment is round after round. The graceful flying posture of the J-11 constantly wanders the periphery of the entire air bombing area. The pilot’s cold face is constantly staring. radar.

Especially facing the southwest direction, the air power of the US and coalition forces will come to support from that direction.

"Didi!" The F-11 fighter at the extreme edge, flew a long way toward the southwest sky, and was about to turn around and fly back, when suddenly a red spot appeared on the radar.

The alarm on the fighter plane began to flash.

When the radar pointer rotates once, the red dot in the southwest of the display appears once.

A red dot!

Three red dots!

Five red dots!

...

As the radar scanning pointer rotates, more and more red dots appear on the screen.

Moreover, those red dots, in an arrow attack formation, are flying towards this side at high speed, and the distance from this area is less than 150 kilometers.

"The enemy plane is coming!" Seeing the situation, the pilot of the most marginal fighter plane immediately notified the entire escort formation.

Dozens of J-11 fighters circling hundreds of square kilometers, under the command of the highest commander, Colonel Sayyid, began to converge from the originally circling airspace toward the southwest.

"U.S. fighter planes also appeared in the northeast!" Behind the team, a fighter plane spotted the U.S. fighter plane coming from Turkey. "There are too many!"

"Captain, what should we do?"

The fighter plane is flying at high speed at this time, and both sides have discovered the other's huge fleet.In the current situation, there are dense red dots on the radar screens of both sides.

Isad also knows that this is the most difficult battle facing their entire Iraqi Air Force.

Before the ground forces can decide the victory or defeat, they must ensure air dominance. Otherwise, once the US Air Force wins air dominance, this will be disastrous for their entire ground forces.

Looking at the number of fighter targets appearing on both sides of the radar, Ishad quickly made a decision, "Separate two squadrons to entangle the U.S. forces in the northeast, and the other escort formations, to meet up! The sky sword is ready to be sheathed!"

The radar system of the Chinese fighter plane allows them to see a distance of 150 kilometers, while the Changkong Lijian-11 has a maximum range of only 90 kilometers. At this time, the Iraqi side simply cannot take the lead in firing.

The missile could not be launched.

The US military's fighter planes also carry aim-120 medium-range air-to-air missiles with a range of 90 kilometers.

The US military’s long-range missiles are the aim-54 phoenix that only f-14 pandas can carry. Unfortunately, the fighters on the two aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf have been killed. To support this side, you need to travel from the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea. Take off above the aircraft carrier.

To guard against Iran, the fighters of these aircraft carriers can no longer support Iraq's operations.

At the same time, the f14 was continuously retired by the US military for reasons of high maintenance costs and replaced with the f18a/c fighter.

Under the high-speed flight of the fighter plane, hundreds of kilometers is not a very long distance.

Especially when the two sides are facing each other, every second, the distance between the two sides is approaching at a speed of more than two kilometers!

"Prepare to lock the target!" Although the Changkong Lijian-11 has a maximum range of 90 kilometers, everyone understands that it is difficult for missiles to hit the target in the maximum range.

Isad’s fighter plane is in the middle of the team. The entire formation has more than 40 J-11s, each carrying four Zangkong Sword-11 and four Zangkong Sword-01.

Iraq’s inventory of these missiles is not too much, and the Chinese people’s selling price is also very expensive.

And this time, it is related to the survival of the entire Iraq. Therefore, the Iraqi logistics department has prepared all their inventory to use.

Lao Maozi's r-77 is not too reliable.

With the understanding of the performance of fighter aircraft, Iraqi soldiers prefer weapons and equipment from China.

"The Iraqi air force dared to rush forward? This is their only advanced fighter plane, right?"

"Don't fight with me, I have already locked the target..."

"Kill them!"

The U.S. pilots saw that Iraqi fighter planes were rushing towards them. Compared with theirs, the number of the opponents was not at the same level.

Although the first formation of the US military had fewer than 30, there were more formations behind them, and they would be able to reach this airspace within a few minutes.

Therefore, for pilots of the US military, this number of fighters is simply not enough.

They need to shoot down those backward fighters in Iraq, add a strong stroke to their medals of merit, and even paint the downed fighters on their cars.

As the commander of the first formation, Colonel Avel did not underestimate the enemy as much as his subordinates."Attention everyone. The Iraqis must have premeditated when they dared to rush to us. All the medium-range missiles are ready to be launched! Try to keep your distance!"

"Boss, do you take them too much? We are the most advanced fighter plane!" In the communication channel, a captain said with a smile.

"Yes, they might not find us yet!"

"Dididi..." Suddenly, the locked alarm sounded the entire noisy communication channel quiet.

"Shot! There are still a hundred kilometers away, they will lock us!" Suddenly, a sneer made the suppressed atmosphere of the whole team relaxed.

"The poor Iraqis must be frightened! Do they think those Russian-made r-77 missiles can shoot us down at a long distance?"

"Don't underestimate the enemy, our fighter planes have been shot down a lot!" Colonel Alvir stared closely at the distance between the two sides on the radar.

When the distance between the two sides was close to 80 kilometers, he was about to lock the other side, and the Iraqi fighter plane that was flying towards this side was divided into two parts and flew towards both sides.

"They want to encircle us!" The Iraqis' intentions are very obvious, and the Americans are still very relaxed at this time.

They have always believed that the fighters that were shot down were not shot down by the Iraqi Air Force.

"Catch up and kill them!"

The pilots of the US military have the highest level of training in the world. At this time, even if they find something is wrong, they still maintain a complete formation.

"Reduce the speed, wait for the fighters from behind to come up and surround them!" Alvir thought a lot. The headquarters was bombed in the original war, and they received very little information.

It is very possible that the Iraqis are trying to lure them.

Farther afield, the Iraqi air power is still bombarding U.S. armored forces on the ground.

At the same time, the Tikrit Army's Armored First Division has been closer to the American tanks in the smoke from the north to a distance of less than four kilometers.

The well-equipped U.S. armored soldiers were filled with grievances from the bombing of Iraqi aircraft in the sky. At this time, after they discovered the Iraqi tanks, the commander did not ask his superiors for instructions at all, and directly rushed towards the Iraqi tanks.

It doesn't matter if they only have two tank battalions, and the opponent is a unit with a tank division that rushes over.

"Aim at the target!" The tanks of both sides pointed their muzzles at each other almost at the same time.

"Ready to shoot! Kill all the targets you see and tell the Iraqis that we are not easy to mess with. All their garbage tanks will become scrap iron!" the commander of the tank battalion roared.

They no longer have to worry about the warplanes that have become sparse overhead.

The U.S. Air Force has already arrived, and it will soon turn the Iraqis in the sky into a ball of fire.

In the east and northeast of the battlefield, dozens of huge rocket launchers have been launched.

These rockets belong to the Iraqi Strategic Artillery Force.

Since the beginning of the war, it has not yet demonstrated its strength.

Originally intended to attack the US airborne troops, these rockets were evacuated from the area around Baghdad and disguised due to changes in the war.

"Order from the superior to carry out a long-range strike on the target area!"

The commander heard the report from the communications staff and immediately began to issue orders.

All rocket launchers have adjusted their shooting parameters long before.

"Launch!" The small flag in the hand of the commander began to wave. The original rocket launcher had the rockets pointed at the sky diagonally. After the officer in the launching commander pressed the launch button, they slowly drilled out of the launching box. , And then faster and faster...

"The northern tank unit has already received the enemy? The other side has a tank division! Let them retreat, and the air support will take a while to arrive!" Brian couldn't help being a little frustrated when he heard the news that the front-line tank unit had received the enemy.

"Order the aviation combat brigade, step forward to support the northern line, and stare at their helicopter troops!" The Iraqis did not attack their aviation combat brigade. This is Bryan's greatest fortune.In the past, in order to prevent the Iraqi army’s missiles from being hit suddenly, and to avoid the Iraqi’s killing all their helicopters like the 24th Infantry Division, the entire aviation brigade was dispersed.

"The helicopter unit is ready to go!"

In the desert around the division headquarters, the propellers of numerous ah-64 longbow Apache gunships and ah-1 super cobra attack helicopters began to spin slowly.
