Chapter 128: Bait
"×× bless, Ahmed, you look up to Chinese too much. Look at their weapons, this Type 59 tank is simply the worst batch of equipment in our Iraq. But their country is still heavily equipped with this kind of imitation T-54 rags, what kind of high technology will such a country have, isn't it a joke!"
"Commander Abadi, the ability of the Chinese is still very strong. You represent the honor of our Iraqi army, and you should know the results of the lost exercises. ”
"Yes, yes. Abadi touched his beard and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will let the Chinese know how powerful our Iraqi army is." ”
"I hope so. Ahmed nodded, and stepped into the helicopter that had come to pick him up and take him to the exercise director's office.
Abadi watched Ahmed's helicopter disappear into the sky, then boarded his own car and drove towards the troops that were already ready to go.
The Iraqis had chosen their own starting position, near the town of Liuhao in the southwest of Liaoyang, which shows that Abadi was not really stupid and useless.
Logically speaking, the exercise stipulated that the Iraqi tank regiment should choose its starting position in the Shengjing area, but he chose Liaoyang, which is more than 60 kilometers away from Shengjing, and this is virtually equivalent to narrowing the advance distance by more than 50 kilometers.
And unlike starting from Shengjing, there is the best route through Liaozhong. If you start from Liaoyang, you will immediately have more directions to choose from.
If it is from Shengjing, the northern Montenegro route is a serious detour, although the Liaozhong route is the most convenient straight line. But it is also because it is the optimal solution. The Chinese will certainly take strict precautions.
And if you change it to depart from Liaoyang. The whole game came alive. Iraqis can go north on the Liaozhong route, take Panjin directly from the middle road, or go south to Haicheng to take the coastal national road with the best road conditions.
Just a choice of starting point, Abadi completely concealed his intentions.
"Commander Abadi, our next mission?"
"Bring me the map. Aladi turned and walked into the headquarters and called his three regiment commanders and the commander of the reconnaissance company inside.
"Our position is here, the target of the attack is here, running 400 kilometers to attack a line defended by light infantry. It's not a trivial thing. ”
Before Abadi's words were finished, several battalion commanders and company commanders nodded. Long-distance raids are extremely testing of the quality of the army, especially for the Iraqi army. Don't look at the map of China, Shengjing to Shanhaiguan is just a short line. If you put it on the territory of Iraq, that is, it penetrates the entire southern territory of Iraq from south to north.
Although the enemy had only one regiment of light infantry, Al-Bahdi's greatest enemy was the test of the quality of the troops from the almost unfamiliar terrain and long-distance travel.
For the battalion and company commanders under their command, although they didn't think that far, they also knew how much preparation they needed to make in order to run 400 kilometers.
Aladi pointed to the map and said in a deep voice, "This is my plan. ”
......
Today's Shengjing can be described as a star-studded gathering. When Hu Wenhai walked into the director's office, he could only honestly sit in the corner of the back row. Watching Ahmed talk and laugh with the leaders of the front and rear headquarters.
"It is reported that the UAV company of Regiment C has released electronic warfare decoy UAVs in the Linghai area, and according to the radar performance set by Regiment I, this situation will be reported to the command of Regiment I. ”
Needless to say, Regiment C was the light infantry regiment of the Chinese side. The English word for Iraq is Iraq, so this I regiment is also Abadi's tank regiment.
The rear intelligence support systems of both sides are all virtual, and the battlefield information is communicated to both sides according to the judgment of the director's department, resulting in the effect of the existence of support systems such as radar reconnaissance.
"Electronic warfare decoy drone? Can anyone explain this to us, what does it mean?" an old man sitting in the first row tilted his head and looked at the director team who were working intensely.
"This, let Comrade Hu Wenhai come. The whole system was designed by him, and I don't think anyone is more familiar with it than he is. ”
The old general, with obvious Russian roots, looked back, and only then did he find Hu Wenhai, who was dozing off in the corner.
In a month and a half, in order to barely put together such a system, Hu Wenhai has not slept more than four hours once. Now that he can finally put down all the burdens, his 18-year-old physical fitness is a little unbearable.
"Comrade Xiaohu, the chief is calling you!"
"Ahh
"Comrade Hu Wenhai, can you explain to us what is going on with this electronic warfare decoy drone?"
"To put it simply, it's a model airplane. Hu Wenhai quietly wiped the saliva from his mouth and explained: "Just like the literal meaning, it is a decoy released to collect enemy radar data." ”
"Oh, what if the enemy ignores it altogether?"
Hu Wenhai smiled, shook his head and said, "The Iraqis will never ignore this bait." ”
......
"Regiment commander!" the signal corps of the Iraqi tank regiment ran into the regimental command post and put a piece of information in front of Abadi.
"Warning information from the alert radar?" Abadi picked up the information and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but sit up straight.
"Is this data certain?" he asked with a serious face.
"It's the radar warning data from the exercise director's department, and there can be no mistake in this regard. ”
The signal soldier misunderstood what he meant, and Abadi wanted to ask if the data on this intelligence was wrong. The signal corps' answer was whether the information itself was true or not.
According to the setting of the exercise, the radar information conveyed by the director's department cannot, of course, be wrong.
"What do the Chinese want to do, to dispatch air power so quickly, we have air supremacy!"
"Commander, do you want our planes to take off and shoot them down?"
"Wait, there's something unusual about this. ”
"Regiment commander, the radar shows that the target has risen to 20,000 meters and the speed has reached Mach 2! This may be a Chinese Jian-8 reconnaissance plane. ”
"We can't let Chinese spy on us smoothly, otherwise that cruise missile will ......"
The words of the regimental staff officer made Abadi shocked, thinking of the effect of the cruise missile mentioned in the Chinese materials, and it would be a big trouble to find the place of departure or the route of travel.
"Take off two MiG-25s, turn on our search radar and intercept the opposing side's reconnaissance aircraft!"
"Yes!"
Of course, it is impossible for the MiG-25 Flying Fox to really take off in China. However, with Abadi's order, a beam of radio waves was soon launched from Willow Trench Town, arriving at a secret "airport".
This so-called airport has no runway and no tower. The only thing that existed was an Iraqi radio station. In addition, there is a camouflage tower made of wooden planks and a so-called runway painted in lime. Its only purpose is to pretend to be an airport.
As an air base for the Iranian side, it is located near the northern provincial border of Bohai Province, as far away as possible from the range that could be attacked by Chinese infantry.
After receiving the order from the regimental headquarters, soon the Iraqi radio forwarded the request to the exercise director's office, and then two "virtual" MiG-25 Flying Foxes quickly rose into the air.
However, with the launch of the MiG-25, the target on the radar screen, which may have been the target of the Chinese reconnaissance plane, suddenly changed altitude and quickly disappeared.
"What's going on? Did you change the altitude because you found the MiG-25 that was lifted off from the Iranian side?"
Hu Wenhai coughed and explained a little embarrassedly: "Actually, it's not, I think this drone should have lost power and fell." ”
"Fell?" The generals in the exercise director's department looked at each other, inexplicably.
"That's right, it's impossible for our ordinary drones to fly 20,000 meters and Mach 2 performance, so this is a drone powered by a rocket engine. After ascending to the air, with the remaining power and gliding, it can maintain about 10 minutes in the air. As soon as the power is unable to maintain the need for lift, it will naturally fall. ”
"Isn't that the equivalent of a missile?"
"It's pretty much the same, but judging from the radar reflection signal and flight trajectory alone, it is more like a J-8 fighter. ”
Hu Wenhai didn't say anything, in fact, he wanted to complain about the performance of the early Jian-8 fighter man's rocket. It's not that the missile is like the J-8, but the J-8 is like a missile, right?
When Ahmed heard Hu Wenhai's explanation relayed by the translator, his face quickly changed and he looked at the real-time update of the exercise progress of the director's department.
To be honest, if the Iraqis radar is the third or fourth generation radar, then Hu Wenhai's decoy drone is useless, and it is easy to distinguish the details of this thing.
However, it is a pity that the Iraqis only have the first and second generation early warning radars provided by Maozi, and the information that can be provided is pitiful.
Once the target in the high altitude disappeared, Abadi subconsciously thought that the Chinese side had discovered the MiG-25 in the air, and then lowered the altitude to prepare for a low-altitude penetration.
"Turn on our low-altitude search radar and find out the enemy's reconnaissance aircraft!"
In the command center of the C regiment in Shanhaiguan, the fighters of the electronic countermeasures company with 14 radar experts suddenly stood up and shouted.
"Come and see, everyone, you have found the other party's radar signal!"
"Quick, collect the radar signal characteristics and send it to Yinhe 1 for solving!"
Shanno held the unfinished "American Gods" in his hand, and ate a handful of drunkard peanuts with relish. Hearing the messy shouts of the electronic countermeasures, I couldn't help but shake my head.
"Tsk, is there no sense of accomplishment at all when this kind of obedient opponent abuses......" (to be continued......)
