Chapter 1109: Sword Unsheathed (2)
The senior leader and his entourage behind him frowned, thinking that this little staff officer was really making a fuss: Tunia and Libya were still in a state of hostility, and the gunfire and artillery on the border hardly stopped. Just a few shells can be reported to the company-level cadres and battalion-level cadres of the border troops, and can they be reported to the division commander?
And knowing that there are higher-level leaders, especially French advisers, are inspecting, this is not a discredit to our Liberian army?
The leader from the capital even thought in his heart: "Doesn't this mean that this division commander's management ability is not good? Even the staff officers around him are difficult to manage well, can he be qualified for such an important official position as a division commander? Although the division under his command is fighting smoothly in Tunia, it is very likely that this guy is a brute force, and it may also be caused by Tunia's deliberate release of water." Cover for their main force to sneak up on Banjasi. ”
When the French adviser heard this report, he also looked at the little staff officer with displeasure, and then cast a mocking gaze on the division commander.
Seeing the ridicule in the eyes of the French advisers and the dissatisfaction in the eyes of the high-ranking officials from the capital, the division commander was extremely frightened in his heart, and even scolded the eighteenth generation of the ancestor of this trouble-making staff officer.
However, this staff officer did not seem to offend the consciousness of his immediate superior, and said: "Division commander, those shells seem to be ......"
Before the words fell, the division commander said angrily: "Enough! Get out!" After speaking, he hurriedly opened his arms, hugged the French adviser in his arms, and said with a smile on his face, "Welcome to the French adviser!"
After the little staff officer was scolded, his forehead was full of cold sweat, and he was about to say it, but he was pulled aside by the deputy division commander.
The deputy division commander said with a tiger face: "What are you doing? Don't you know that this is a special period? You are also a veteran, how can a few shells scare you like this? Look at you, your face is sweating. ……”
The staff officer hurriedly said: "Deputy division commander, I know that the situation is special. But these shells in Tunia are very strange, just like airplanes, they can rise and fall, they can also fly horizontally, they can fly low-altitude skimming the ground, like missiles but not like missiles, and they are flying in the direction of our city. ”
At this time, the Liberian soldiers had not yet seen cruise missiles, but had only seen anti-aircraft missiles and anti-tank missiles aided by France, the former only rushed upwards after leaving the launcher, and although they could also change direction according to the change of the aircraft's position, their maneuverability was not good, and they could not fly at low altitudes close to the ground.
At this time, the anti-tank missiles introduced by Libya were wire-controlled, and the operator changed the direction of the missile, which was also not mobile.
Although the Libby Af army does not recognize what the cruise missile in Tunia is, they know that it is not an anti-aircraft missile or an anti-tank missile.
The deputy division commander was stunned for a moment and asked: "Could it be a Tunian drone? The Americans have used drones to reconnoiter us before, have they discovered that we are going to attack them in the near future?"
Thinking of this, the deputy division commander was also anxious, not only forgiving this seemingly reckless staff officer, but also urgently thinking about how to notify the division commander without alarming the chief.
In fact, the "Black Electricity" cruise missiles at this time were very close to here.
The missile's small turbofan engine spewed a faint blue flame, and the tremendous thrust it produced raised the missile's speed to subsonic speed. Although the missile launch site is nearly a hundred kilometers away from here, it only takes six or seven minutes to reach here. Moreover, by the time the Liberians saw them, they had already flown half the distance in Tunia and less than three minutes in less than 50 kilometres in Liberia.
Two minutes had passed by the time the Liberian troops on the border spotted the strange shells – Black Electricity cruise missiles – and immediately called to report them to their superiors. If the division commander had listened carefully to the staff officer's report without hindrance and taken the correct measures -- leaving here immediately and running as far as he could—perhaps the tragedy could have been avoided, but the reason why he would not have died was that because the leaders of the Ministry of Defense and the French advisers had come to inspect the situation, the division commander had no time to listen to the staff officer's report.
Another reason for delaying the division commander from hearing the report was that when this stupid staff officer opened his mouth to speak, the first thing he said was that "there are a few shells coming from Tunia...... which made the division commander who was already shocked in his heart angry.
How could a dignified division commander deal with such a trivial matter?
In fact, even if the division commander really concentrated on dealing with this matter, he had never heard of any cruise missiles, and he would never be able to think of a way to escape immediately for a while, and the result was similar to now, just let him die a few more brain cells. The method he came up with was certainly similar to the one that the vast majority of people came up with: "Concentrate anti-aircraft weapons and go all out to deal with the invading enemy planes!"
If anti-aircraft weapons can easily shoot them, they are not called cruise missiles.
The reason why the cruise missile shined in its previous life and why Jiang Xinwei admired it was determined by its performance, because its missile body was small, much smaller than the auxiliary fuel tank of an airplane, and much smaller than the size of an airplane. Because of its small size, it shows a very small reflective area on the radar display, and it is easy to let them go if the radar observer does not stare at the screen carefully and carefully.
Their most unique and powerful ability is to fly close to the ground. Although flying close to the ground is a bit exaggerated, it is indeed a low altitude compared to airplanes. Radar emitted waves are mixed in complex ground echoes, and even the most advanced radars installed on the most advanced early warning aircraft in the United States cannot effectively detect them.
Even if a cruise missile in flight was detected by radar, there were no effective means to shoot it down in a previous life. Cruise missiles use small turbofan engines in flight, and the infrared signal characteristics emitted are far lower than those of aircraft, and the infrared seeker of interceptor missiles is difficult to identify and lock on to these ghosts from the complex infrared radiation waves on the ground, and they are lost in the blink of an eye.
In many cases, they are spotted by visual inspection by ground personnel: at close range, their bodies can be seen during the day, and at night they can see the tail flame spewing from their tails.
Being able to be seen by the ground personnel indicates that the distance is very close, and at this distance, the attacked side often does not have enough time to intercept them, and the only way to do so is to flee and hide.
Just when the deputy division commander was thinking urgently, the "Black Lightning" cruise missile that flew here was already less than three kilometers away from here. According to the programme, it quickly climbs to height, and after reaching the specified altitude, it adjusts its direction before diving to bomb the target. Although there was no interception of artillery fire on the ground, the missile still began to perform a serpentine maneuver according to the program set by the computer, and rushed towards the target building.
