Chapter 028, Eagle Falcon Sky (I)
At night, the valley is full of cold wind, and Shrimp and more than 20 people are waiting for the top of the valley, which is the famous Wolf Valley outside Basra, and it is also the only way to get to the airport
These 20 or so people were selected from the Badr Brigade to be the most proficient in using anti-tank rocket launchers, and in Iraq, there are not many AK47 and RPG-7 anti-tank rocket launchers, and although the power of this kind of bazooka is not very great, most of today's main battle tanks cannot penetrate it, but under certain conditions, it can create miracles
For example, the terrain of Wolf Valley, they are condescending, the tanks that pass below are almost always their targets, and the Iraqis are driving old T72 tanks, which were built in the late seventies, but are vulnerable in the 21st century, although they were in the wind for a while
Of course, the old-fashioned bazooka is actually half a pound and eight taels against the old-fashioned tank, so Xiami let these twenty-four people ambush each of them in groups of two people on both sides of the valley, and they all use armor-piercing shells with tandem warheads, and the emphasis is not to destroy but to paralyze
After Canglong greeted him, he saw the tank coming from a distance, today's weather is good, the visibility under the moonlight is still very high, plus the high below zero, they occupy the right time and place, as for the people and that, it depends on luck, but the shrimp is very confident
When the tank drove into the valley, it began to slow down, and the machine gunner on the tank could clearly be seen looking around the valley, it was obvious that they knew very well that the terrain of the Wolf Valley was very unfavorable to the tank, and the turret of the tank was difficult to hit the enemy on both sides of the valley because of the angle, and the only protection was the heavy machine gun
As the tanks slowly drove into the valley, they did not rush but reassured the Iraqis, saying, "Don't act rashly, wait for them all to come in, and act according to the predetermined plan."
The team members, who were already a little excited, all calmed down, and waited until the first tank was about to leave the valley, and when Shrimp picked up the bazooka, aimed at a boulder at the exit, pulled the trigger, and the rocket drew a dazzling light in the dark night, and flew to the boulder at the exit
There was a "boom" explosion, and the boulder collapsed, directly blocking the exit of the valley, and at the same time, the attack just now also caused the reaction of the machine gunners on the tank, and the bullets flashed in the night, constantly shè towards the shrimp, and dozens of tanks on their side fired at the same time, as if countless fireworks had exploded
"Team B fires," Shrimp ducked and yelled over the radio
On the other side of the valley, Team B simultaneously picked up the RPG-7 and fired at the tanks below, hitting the machine gunners on the tanks in five consecutive shots, and when the machine gunners below reacted and found that there were enemies on the other side, Shrimp picked up the bazooka and ordered Team A on his side to aim at the tanks that were not damaged
For a while, the sound of explosions, screams and machine guns were mixed together, and more than two dozen tanks were caught off guard, and the commander seemed to be a little confused
The counterattack below was chaotic, while the attack from above was methodical, with enemies on both sides, so that the Heavy didn't know which way to shoot
Half an hour later, Xiami picked up the radio and gave the order to evacuate, and then reported to Canglong: "The head is done, they will never be able to go to the airport."
Hearing the report of the shrimp in the base, Canglong knew that he had successfully completed the task, and now it was up to Bai Wuchang
Before Canglong received the report, Lieutenant General Kud received the news that the tank battalion had been attacked in the Wolf Valley, and he sat down with a pale face, and there was basically no need to count on the attack on the terrain like the Wolf Valley, but more shocking news followed
A fighter suddenly appeared over the air base, and their radar was only discovered when the plane was only two kilometers away from the air base, and it was the fighter that climbed up on its own before it was caught by the radar, at first they thought that the support of the US military was coming, but they quickly found out that it was wrong, because the radar identification and radio contact, one was judged to be an enemy plane, and the other did not respond, so the plane entered the Basra air base as if it was in a no-man's land, dropped a large number of aerial bombs, and then went away, and when they reacted, there was a fire at the entire air base, and a huge explosion was heard in Basra
"How could it be that the fighters of the Badr Brigade came from?" As soon as the communication was restored, Kurd received a message from the airfield commander
"It's sure it's a J, and it's a J with a superior model," the commander reported affirmatively
"What about the airport losses," Kud asked again
"Most of the planes are intact, and the fighter jets seem to have attacked the airfield's airways, but two hangars are still on fire and are being rescued," the commander reported
The Kud-faced pale tank battalion was paralyzed, the airfield was bombed, and it seemed that the Badr brigade was not just attacking, but was going to start an all-out war with them
Kurd immediately contacted Colonel Mike at the U.S. military base to report everything that had happened to him and asked the U.S. military to send troops to support him, when in fact Colonel Mike had already learned about it because the radar station at the base had already monitored the plane
But he didn't send reinforcements, because he didn't have fighters, all of them were helicopters, how to fight with fighters, what if he sent all his troops, and this fighter came to attack his base
But the situation seemed to be different from what he imagined, the Badr Brigade was prepared this time, obviously preparing for a war, not as simple as the previous attacks, when this idea first appeared in his mind, he even thought it was incredible, but now everything shows the purpose and intention of the Badr Brigade, if the fighter planes are delayed, the entire main military base in Basra is lost, and then he will have to go back to Washington to get a retirement certificate
"Are all your people pigs, park all the planes at the airport as targets and decorations," Colonel Mike scolded directly, which embarrassed Lieutenant General Kud over there, but unfortunately his lieutenant general was not as good as a colonel
"Immediately send a fighter plane to intercept me, and the people who will arrive at the airport will be there within half an hour, and the airport must not be lost," Colonel Mike said coldly
"But there are no fighter planes at the airport, not even helicopter gunships, except for transport planes, which are reconnaissance planes, do you want us to use reconnaissance planes to intercept a supersonic fighter?" Kud seemed to vent his anger at the stinginess of the Americans, not allowing the Iraqi security forces to have planes that pose a threat to the US military
Colonel Mike was speechless for a moment, this order is indeed a bit embarrassing, really let a few reconnaissance planes to hunt down the J-7M, it is estimated that it can only eat other people's dust behind its back, and even has the risk of being completely annihilated, after all, the Iraqi army reconnaissance aircraft is simply no different from the fighters of World War II, and the weapons hung on them are all machine guns, but the J-7M is mounted on the machine gun
But Colonel Mike thought of something: "Isn't there still an F16 in the hangar at Basra Air Base, why don't you take off the F16?"
Hearing this, Kude looked embarrassed: "This F16 has just entered Basra Air Base, and the pilots have not had time to make their maiden flight, how can they fight?"
But Colonel Mike knew very well what Kud was calculating, he was worried about what problems would appear with this F16, after all, Iraq had only purchased a total of eighteen planes, and it took a long time to deliver two to Iraq, where they were trained in Baghdad for a long time, and finally one was sent to Basra Air Base, mainly to let the pilots adapt, and the United States was also cautious about arms sales to Iraq, after all, giving Iraqi F16 meant that the United States' allies were threatened
"I don't care what method you use, if you can't guarantee to shoot down this plane, my troops won't leave the base, we can't take the risk of being attacked to support you," Colonel Mike said coldly, the meaning is already very clear, you don't want to bleed heavily, I don't bother to care about you
Originally, Kud wanted to say that your people bear the risk of being attacked by airstrikes, and my people don't bear the risk of airstrikes, but the situation made him block this sentence in his heart, so he could only agree with pain: "Okay"
The people at the airbase had been prepared for a long time, but they couldn't move the plane at all without an order from above
When the F16 was launched, the radar index of the US military quickly chased after Colonel Jianmike, sitting at the base, saw the F16 on the radar attacking, and then sent dozens of helicopters and a squadron of troops to Basra Air Base
"No matter what you want to do, no matter where your plane comes from, what I have to do now is to shoot you down," Colonel Mike looked at the radar and was very confident, after all, the F16 is a third-generation fighter, and the J-7M is a second-generation fighter, which is not a level of competition at all
After Bai Wuchang dropped the bomb, he didn't look back towards the mountains, but when he began to lower his radar and prepare to land in the hollow, suddenly Canglong's voice came from the radio: "There is a plane that has just taken off from Basra Air Base, and judging by this speed, it should be a fighter."
"Fighter" Bai Wuchang scolded, "Damn it, where did the fighter come from"
"Anyway, you can't land now, once we land in the base, we'll be all exposed, and the only way is to kill it," Canglong said calmly
"Kill him, you let me mount all the bombs, and now they are all dropped at the Basra Air Base, what are you going to do to kill people's aerial artillery," Bai Wuchang said angrily
"This is the time to test your skills," Canglong smiled calmly, "Oh, I think this speed should have caught up, and you are still about ten kilometers away, so please be blessed."
"You let me use the J-7M to deal with the J-7M and the J-you who are still not hung on the air-to-air missile, I am a god," Bai Wuchang was very annoyed, but he suddenly thought of a question: "It's strange when the Iraqi Air Force has an F16"
But at this time, Canglong had turned off the radio, and suddenly there was a jǐng announcement in his cabin, and the plane behind him had locked onto him
"Damn, this guy is going to be a hero this time," Bai Wuchang turned his course and began to rise, and now his only hope is that this Iraqi pilot is a rookie, otherwise he will definitely die
