At this time, it was 13 February, and the US-led multinational coalition was fighting fiercely with the Iraqi army.

The difference is that the multinational force has achieved an overwhelming advantage and eliminated the Iraqi garrison in Kuwait, while the Iraqi army has suffered heavy losses!

It's just that Yu Zixian is worried about how he, as an ordinary person, should make "Haida" believe that what he said about the Gulf War has happened or is about to happen.

At 2 a.m. local time on 17 January 1991, when Iraq refused to implement Security Council resolution 678, the Multinational Force aviation launched Operation "Desert Storm" in an air raid on Iraq. Thus, the Gulf War broke out!

The war operation began with air strikes. The entire air attack included the first three of the four operational phases of the "Desert Storm" plan, which the US military called the air battle situation.

According to the plan, the three phases will start at the same time, advance together, and achieve the set goals one by one. The usual air attack mode is that EF-111 and other electronic warfare aircraft first open up the channel, and the F-117, F-15E, B-52 and other aircraft responsible for the attack attack each designated target, and the F-14, F-15C, F-16 and other aircraft take on the cover mission. The daily sortie is 2,000 to 3,000 sorties.

During the entire air attack phase, the US-led multinational forces flew nearly 100,000 sorties, dropped 90,000 tons of bombs, launched 288 Tomahawk cruise missiles and 35 air-launched cruise missiles, and used a series of the latest aircraft and various precision-guided weapons to carry out multi-directional, multi-wave, and high-intensity sustained air strikes on selected targets, greatly weakening the Iraqi army's C3I (command, control, communications, and intelligence) capability, war potential, and strategic counterattack capability, and causing the Iraqi army's forward troops in the Kuwait battlefield to lose nearly 50 percent , the loss of the rear forces was about 25%, creating the conditions for launching a ground offensive.

Historically, two days later, on 15 February, the first day of the Lunar New Year, Iraq announced its willingness to accept Security Council resolution 660 and conditionally withdraw its troops from Kuwait.

Although the Republic abstained from voting on Resolution 678 of the United Nations Security Council and seemed to be an outsider, the subsequent Gulf War, which changed the traditional mode of warfare, had a strong shock to the senior leaders of the Republic's armed forces, who had formed a traditional concept of war since World War II.

Because this is a high-tech war that has never been seen before.

In this war, US aircraft, tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and even individual weapons are equipped with infrared night vision devices, laser night vision devices, infrared thermal imaging equipment, and other night vision equipment, which enables US weapons and equipment to exert the same combat effectiveness at night as during the day, and enables US troops to fight continuously day and night, more effectively strike at Iraqi troops, and push forward the course of campaign and combat more quickly.

At the same time, the United States used electronic warfare aircraft to carry out intense jamming of the electronic equipment of the Iraqi state in order to suppress their command, their radar early warning and intelligence systems. Under the tactics of the United States, the Iraqi army is like a blind and deaf man, a mess, and only has to be beaten. After the jamming was completed, the first thing the United States would do was a series of powerful warplanes, an overwhelming array of missiles, and precision-guided weapons.

Under the all-round, all-weather bombardment of the United States, the Iraqi army suffered heavy losses. Seeing that Iraq was on the verge of collapse, the coalition forces immediately seized the fighter planes and quickly landed. After previous bombardments, Iraq's morale was gone, and the exhausted army was crushed by the coalition offensive.

Before the outbreak of this war, most countries in the world did not realize that the war would start in such a form, and it would take only 42 days, and a country that claimed to have the third military power in the world would lose completely.

Before the start of the war, Iraq had 77 divisions, 1.2 million men, and the army was fully equipped, with 4,280 tanks, 2,800 artillery pieces, and 2,800 armored transport vehicles. It is precisely on the basis of such data and the tempering of the Iran-Iraq war that the Iraqis are confident that the United States and its coalition forces from afar will not be able to easily defeat them at home and will surely fall into the quagmire of war.

However, with the advent of high and new technology, war is no longer the large-corps mode of operation of the past, but a completely new mode of operation.

In fact, not only the Iraqi army, it can be said that even the Americans themselves did not expect that they would create a new mode of modern warfare!

In other words, the United States has used technology in this war to wake up other powers, including the republics.

At the enlarged meeting of the Central Military Commission in 1985, the Republic of China changed its strategic guiding ideology from a state of emergency in which preparations were made for an early, large, and nuclear war to the track of peacetime construction, and the basis of preparations for military struggles was only to deal with traditional local wars under ordinary conditions.

However, in the Gulf War, the US military won brilliant victories on both frontal battlefields, as well as the disproportionate number of casualties on both sides and the astonishing rate of collapse of the Iraqi army, not only created a myth of high-tech weapons, but also allowed the US military to test and further improve a series of new military technologies, operational theories, and combat models in actual combat.

The armed forces of the republic, which have witnessed all this, have quietly increased the speed of modernization, and their military guiding ideology has gradually begun to change, thinking about the military strategic principle of "how to win a local war under high-tech conditions" in the new period, and how to win a high-tech war with integrated circuit chips and electronic technology under the widespread application of computers as the core.

I wonder if some of the rhetoric he prepared before will stand the test?

When I was on a recent business trip to Xiangjiang, I read a lot of news media reports on the Gulf War, and when I saw the kind of terrorist missile attack that was like "taking the head of an enemy general in a 10,000-horse army is like taking something from a bag," I was very shocked in my heart, and then I thought of us...... Just analyze and ponder ......"

After speaking, Yu Zixian paused slightly, expecting the other party to say something so that he could make it up, but found that Haida looked at him with a smile of encouragement and expectation.

"Forehead......" Yu Zixian's brain is spinning rapidly, what should I do?

"Jin Cheng, it seems that our Comrade Zixian has not let go yet. Haida said to Li Jincheng, Minister of Machinery and Electronics Industry next to Yu Zixian.

"It's okay, Comrade Zixian, don't scruple about anything, what do you think of and say anything, I'm just a spectator today. Haida encouraged again.

"All right, Chief Sea. Yu Zixian took a deep breath, probably sorted out his thoughts, and began to speak.

"In the news reports I saw, I had a particularly shocking impression that it was an application of a tactical air-to-surface missile with extremely high accuracy ...... hit."
