Chapter 258: Project Falcon in the Sky
(Bow and thank "Wang Peng" for your support!Thank you for the support of the two monthly passes of "You are a little dizzy"!)
Baker woke up in the field hospital in the rear, and he sat up blankly and looked at the medical staff back and forth, as if he was in a dream.
Suddenly, a doctor came up to him and asked him questions, but Baker couldn't hear it clearly, he could only feel a buzzing tinnitus, which felt like two loudspeakers were screaming into his ears, so that he couldn't hear anything but buzzing. It wasn't until a while later that he was able to distinguish the other sounds from the buzz, so he said to the doctor, "I'm feeling good now, but my ears still can't hear anything, thank you for healing!"
The doctor then examined Baker, and then several officers walked in from outside, and they went straight to Baker's bedside and began to ask him questions.
However, because the doctor told him about the symptoms, these officers did not ask directly, but wrote down what they wanted to say on a piece of paper to show him, Baker first looked at the words written on the paper in a daze, and then reacted very excitedly and said: "I know that the attack on the radar station is a very incredible thing, and I will definitely tell everything to Mr. President, whether he can really hear it or not!"
The officer faithfully recorded Baker's words and sent them back to Bardina as first-hand information.
In fact, Baker's material was not the first one, and the next day, when Salm did not get up, the news of the attack on the Kuwaiti radar station was immediately transmitted back to Salm, not only Kuwait, but also other border radar stations, including Guld Durban and Saiman, were also attacked to varying degrees.
In the dining room of the presidential palace, Majid stood at Salm's table and reported to him: "In this round of attacks, a total of 26 radar stations have been attacked, and according to the front statistics, as of 6 o'clock this morning, a total of 130 people have been killed in the attack, and 600 people have been injured to varying degrees, most of these people are radar station observers, so it has had a very big impact on our radar network." ”
"What a damn despicable sneak attack!" Salm cursed through gritted teeth, then asked, "And how long will it take to fix these radar stations?"
"It is expected to take at least a week," Majid replied, "and more importantly, the enemy will not give us time to repair these radar stations, and they will certainly continue to attack and our troops will be very difficult to parry." ”
Majid thought for a moment and then added: "According to the recollections of the wounded, they did not detect the US plane, so it can be guessed that the other side must have used some kind of stealth bomber that can perfectly avoid radar, so I am afraid that more radar stations will be destroyed by the enemy." ”
Salm slapped the table fiercely: "What about our planes? Don't we also have 700 planes? Why do we continue to let the enemy's planes show off their might over our heads? Pull out all our fighters, as well as the air defense forces, and press them to the front line, these proud fighters, it's time to use their strength to defend our territory!"
Faced with this order, Majid, as the Minister of Defense, instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and he wanted to say something, but Salm pointed at him and said: "Go and carry out my orders, my cousin, I believe that you will not disobey me like those other bureaucrats, right?"
Since Salm's words were all on the line, Majid could only bow his head and say, "Please rest assured, my Mr. President, I will definitely carry out your orders perfectly." ”
Originally, Majid was about to withdraw to carry out the order after receiving the order, but Salm beckoned him to come and sit down, and then ordered the servant to serve him a breakfast as well, and Salm took the initiative to give him a piece of his bread, and Majid took it carefully, and Salm smiled with satisfaction, obviously very satisfied with Majid's trembling.
"My brother, do you resent my attitude?" Salm said to Majid, "but you have to understand that this family is too big, and no one else will be willing to really pay for this country, but you are different, you are my cousin, just like this piece of bread, we eat together, as long as we have my share, we will never lose your share, so you must help me, we brothers maintain this country together." ”
Majid was very touched and said: "Cousin Salm, rest assured, I will always be your relative and the most faithful servant!"
After having breakfast with Salm, Majid left the dining room to carry out Salm's order, and as the order was issued like snowflakes, all twenty military airfields in Iraq were immediately mobilized, except for the forty fighters necessary to garrison Badina, the other fighters were concentrated on the front line, for which several field airfields were temporarily expanded.
These fighters flew like goshawks to the front line, and were arranged on three lines, and in addition to the fighters, Majid also brought in a hundred bombers to be able to carry out counterattacks on the American positions.
In addition, the air defense units of the Presidential Guard were also transferred out of Bardina, and these troops, pulling their missiles and anti-aircraft machine guns, drove to the front line in a mighty way.
Standing in front of the map, Majid watched his troops march to the front line one by one and were deployed in place, the three lines of defense were like gorgeous strokes on the map, outlined in beautiful arcs, but Majid's worries became heavier and heavier.
……
Naturally, the movement of the Iraqi presidential guard cannot be concealed from the US military's reconnaissance planes and spy satellites, and both the Iraqi Air Force and the ground forces have been under the surveillance of the US General Staff from the moment they left the base.
Armed with data from these reconnaissance planes and spy satellites, Normandy, commander-in-chief of the multinational force, called President Walsh and informed him of a series of movements of the Iraqi army.
"My general, what do you think is the purpose of this series of moves?" asked Walsh.
"I think this is the response of the Iraqi army to our previous sneak attack on the radar station, and they want to protect their radar station with their air power. Normandy continued, "But I think what they're doing is a big help for us to seize air supremacy." ”
"Help, General Normandy, are you going to continue attacking the other side's airfield, and blow up their planes in the airfield and in the hangar?" asked Walsh curiously.
Normandy denied it very domineeringly: "No, I plan to destroy all the Iraqi planes at once!"
Walsh thought for a moment before asking, "Is it really necessary to do this?"
"I think it's very necessary, once when I was a military adviser in South Vietnam, a general over there had a wild tiger, and every day the general would throw a rabbit to the tiger, even though the tiger was in a big cage and the rabbit was injured, but every time the tiger would approach very carefully and then use all his strength to pounce on it. ”
Normandy continued: "The tiger does that to make sure that the prey can be killed, and we are in a situation like the tiger now, even though the prey is already on the plate, we still have to do our best, otherwise any accident will be our shame, I am a federal soldier, and my duty is to exchange the least price for the greatest victory!"
Walsh then made a decision: "Then I approve your plan for the Flying Falcon." ”
"Thank you very much for your trust, Mr. President, and I will give you a perfect battle!" said Normandy with the grace of a knight.
After hanging up the phone, Normandy took out a sealed battle plan from his drawer, he gently stroked it as if he was caressing his own child, and finally opened the file bag, took out a few documents from it, called his assistant, and sent out the first battle plan.
That night, the First Flying Group of the Middle East Expeditionary Force dispatched 10 F15 and 20 F16 fighters to take off to attack Iraq's large radar observation station in Semiyyah, but the Iraqi Air Force, which had been prepared for a long time, took off and 25 MiG-25 and 15 MiG-29 fighters rushed into the air to meet them. At the same time, the air defense regiments deployed around them also removed their camouflage, revealing the muzzles of the black holes of the anti-aircraft machine guns.
In the face of a ready opponent, the 1st Flying Group obviously had no intention of going head-to-head, so after lingering with the Iraqi Air Force for a while, the 1st Flying Group chose to return home, and did not even launch a single missile.
However, the 1st Flying Group was able to recover its factory from the 5th Flying Group, which was responsible for attacking the Abyeh radar station, a medium-sized radar station built near the Saudi desert, which was very prominent in Iraq, so that only 15 MiG-25s and 5 SU27s of the 62nd and 81st Squadrons of the Iraqi Presidential Guard Air Force were responsible for guarding Abyah.
Detecting the enemy's air power through radar, the 5th Flying Group immediately chose to engage the enemy, so after dropping the wreckage of the four planes, the Iraqi Air Force chose to retreat, while the 5th Flying Group of the United States braved ground anti-aircraft fire to destroy the Abyeh radar station.
The results of the first day's engagement were quickly passed into the hands of Badina Majid, but this time before he could go to Salm, the president's phone called.
"Majid, my brother, although I understand that war is destined to have losses, but we are not the United States after all, and our family background is not so strong, so I don't want you to keep any more cards, we must block the attack of the Americans, transfer all our air forces, from today onwards, we must not lose any radar station, otherwise the Americans will be able to directly bypass the radar and bomb Bardina directly!"
Obviously, Salm did not directly point at Majid's nose and scold him, but he was also a little dissatisfied with him not deploying all the air forces on the front line as required.
Majid rubbed his temples with some distress, and he couldn't help but be a little worried: Is it really going to press out all his treasures so soon? However, judging from the results of last night's battle, it seems that the air power of the Americans is not as difficult to deal with as imagined, at least with the support of their own anti-aircraft fire, their air force does not seem to suffer.
And it is indeed as Salm said, with the US military's air strikes in the past few days, there are fewer and fewer radar stations on the border, and if a few more are lost, the Americans can directly bomb Baghdad without any obstacles, which is a problem that Salm will never allow.
"Alright then, let's give it a try and see if we can get an advantage over the U.S. Air Force. ”
Majid thought so in her heart, and suddenly she and Salm forgot that the F117, which was on the attack mission for the first time, did not appear, and neither of them noticed that the United American Combined Fleet had captured Port Ode, located on the territory of Kuwait.
