"Whoosh~~~Boom~~~~Boom~~~"

"Air raids, air raids, concealment, concealment~~~ah~~~~boom~~boom~~"

In the open space of the desert, an Iraqi colonel officer who was directing the soldiers to hide was torn apart by the bombs falling from the sky before he could shout twice, but the huge wave caused by the explosion did not end there, and the shrapnel scattered in all directions accompanied by a powerful shock wave, under the cover of the scorching fire, crashed into the Iraqi soldiers who had no time to escape, and in an instant the defensive position reinforced by reinforced concrete collapsed, and the screams of hissing and tearing resounded in the sky.........

Such a tragic scene has lasted for four whole days, and the slowly opening night is like a clarion call for hell to fall, and whenever the day recedes and the night is enveloped, the coalition forces led by the United States will dispatch a large number of warplanes to carry out wanton bombing of the desert areas in southwest Iraq.

At the beginning, the coalition forces were very cautious, and the tactics they adopted were the same as on the first day of the "ace" operation, with the F-117A "Nighthawk" stealth fighter formation acting as a stepping stone to the door, and then under the cover of a large number of electronic warfare aircraft, the large formation of conventional strike aircraft swarmed along the path opened by the stealth fighters;

However, only two days later, the coalition forces adjusted this cautious tactic, transferring the stealth fighters from the attack group, and instead using conventional fighters as the main force to attack the fortification, the reason for this is no other reason, only because Iraq's resistance is too weak, the first day there are radar locks, missile launches, anti-aircraft artillery roars, and a day later, the original fierce resistance seems to have passed through, and it can no longer be seen.

Naturally, the US military will not believe that the weapons and equipment of the Iraqi army have really crossed over, because the E-8 "United Star" integrated battlefield surveillance planes cruising on the edge of the battlefield have already clearly seen the Iraqi positions on the ground: Except for a small part of the Iraqi equipment that resisted the US troops, most of them have been destroyed by the US military.

As a result, this "island of safety," which was pinned on by the Iraqi high-level leaders, has completely become a paradise for the coalition forces to wreak havoc, and locust-like combat planes have rained bombs on the heads of the Iraqi army one after another, especially tonight, the United States has sent a squadron of 12 B-52H strategic bombers over to carry out carpet bombing of the area where the Republican Guard is located.

The A-10 attack planes that followed closely behind acted as a quick mending hand, strangling out the remaining fixed positions, personnel assembly areas, armored concealment areas, and warehouses that were not logistically advanced, and as for the "wild weasel" electronic warfare attack formation and safari attack group cruising high in the air, they acted at the opportune opportunity, and once they received the relevant Iraqi electronic spectrum signals or counterattack intentions, they tore through them like hungry wolves.......

Under such high-intensity air raids by the coalition forces, the Iraqi army suffered heavy losses, nearly half of its air defense equipment was completely destroyed, more than 30 percent of the ground fortifications were devastated, and countless casualties were inflicted.........

It was in such a precarious situation that Lu Weijun sat in an underground air defense bunker for four days with a boxy box, and the urn in his hand containing the urn of Lu Jiadong's bones, the front was engraved with Lu Jiadong's name and year of birth and death in Chinese and Arabic, and it was covered with a half-cut green military coat;

That was when the two of them were dodging the air raid, Lu Weijun personally put it on him, because Lu Jiadong had a cold in recent days, and Lu Weijun was afraid that he would catch a cold again when he was hidden, but he didn't expect that just as the two of them ran out of the cabin where they lived, a bomb exploded on one side, and the huge shock wave instantly overturned the two of them.

Lu Weijun, who landed on the ground, only saw Lu Jiadong lying on the sand dune squirm a few times, and then his eyes were dark and he didn't know anything, but what Lu Weijun couldn't imagine was that that glance turned out to be a farewell, the military coat was still the general's coat, but the person under him became a mutilated corpse........

Lu Weijun regretted it very much, regretted why he didn't hold Lu Jiadong at that time, and why the person who was thrown off the sand dunes was not himself. Although he is the youngest general in the Chinese army, he knows that he is nothing compared to Lu Jiadong, and because of this, if he can do it all over again, he would rather exchange his life for Lu Jiadong's life;

However, everything is destined to be an unchangeable ending, and because of this, Lu Weijun is remorseful and self-blaming all the time, so that even the wounds on his body are a little numb, because the heart of the knife has long exceeded the severe pain of the wound........

"Chief Jiang, Sister Ziyue, I'm ........ I'm sorry you guys........."

The shriveled lips muttered painful words over and over again, and the reddened eyes burst out at this moment, rushing down the cheeks, crackling and dripping onto the shabby military coat, and in the blink of an eye, a large area was soaked .........

When Major General Mohammed walked in quickly, he saw Lu Weijun holding the urn silently tearful, and he had the heart to step forward, but he still stopped his pace, and he was also very sad about Lu Jiadong's death, because he knew that if his instructor Lu was still alive, there would never be the current situation, but now everything is in vain:

"Observer Lu, Instructor Lu....... We're all sad......... You........ You'd better mourn and go with the flow. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Major General Mohammed still walked to Lu Weijun's side, but Lu Weijun was like a statue, unaware, only the tears that kept drooping, proving that he was still a fresh person, seeing this appearance, Major General Muhammad could only sigh helplessly, patted Lu Weijun's shoulder and continued:

"The 3rd Mechanized Infantry Regiment has just repaired three wheeled armored vehicles, and when the air raid weakens at dawn, let them send you out, after all........ After all........ After all, Instructor Lu's remains can't stay here........"

Speaking of this, Major General Mohammed also looked depressed, he didn't want to send the ashes of the injured Lu Weijun and Lu Jiadong away as soon as possible, so as not to have any more accidents, but he thought, the coalition aviation in the sky did not want to, and the fierce bombardment after wave blew up all the only few transport vehicles of the "Falcon" air defense missile battalion.

Wave after wave of electronic interference made it impossible for Major General Mohammed to convey any instructions, even if the friendly Republican Guard was close at hand, he was stunned and could not be contacted, and there was no way for Muhammad to use the most primitive manpower to transmit, so he could barely contact the third infantry regiment of the Republican Guard next to him;

Unexpectedly, this well-equipped mechanized infantry regiment, because it was too close to the "Falcon" anti-aircraft missile battalion, was given key "care" by the coalition aviation, and suffered extremely heavy losses........

"You....... Still take care of your body, I ........ I'll come back to you after dawn!"

Seeing that Lu Weijun didn't speak for a long time, Major General Muhammad had no choice but to pat Lu Weijun's shoulder again, gritted his teeth and walked out.........

The same action of patting the shoulder was not only between Mohammed and Lu Weijun, but also in the office of the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces hundreds of kilometers away, Admiral Schwarzkopf did the same thing to Colonel Christ in front of him, but they did not have the frustration and depression of Mohammed and Lu Weijun, but were unusually excited and happy:

"You have done a very good job, and I have asked President Bush for instructions to apply for a congressional medal for you!"

Listening to Schwarzkopf's words, Colonel Crist's face was excited, the Congressional Medal, which is the highest honor medal of the American army, is awarded to all soldiers who have made great contributions and sacrifices in the war, and because of this, the soldiers who receive the Congressional Medal are often disabled or killed in the United States.

So Crist was a little nervous when he was excited, because he didn't know if the bigwigs on Capitol Hill could approve it on his own terms, and how could he not see Crist's mind with the vicious eyes of Admiral Schwarzkopf?

"You don't have to worry, this letter of application was jointly submitted to Congress by President Bush, General Powell, and me, and the farmer who lives on the Bairdro farm will personally go to Capitol Hill to lobby for you. ”

"Really?"

No matter how calm and sophisticated Christ Rao is, he almost jumped high, the Bairdro farmer, who is a powerful figure with great influence on Capitol Hill, and with the joint nomination of the president and the two generals, the congressional medal is in his pocket.

"You deserve it, Operation 'Ace' not only knocked out Iraq's minions, but also indirectly saved the lives of countless coalition soldiers, and it is not surprising that a congressional medal is in front of such a feat. ”

"Thank you for trusting me........"

Excited, Christ solemnly saluted Admiral Schwarzkopf, Schwarzkopf raised his hand to return the salute, and immediately took out a copy of the secret telegram he had just received from the folder and handed it to Christ:

"Look at this, maybe it will help the next trend of the 'ace' operation!"

Crister took the information, and his eyes flashed with excitement only swept over it, and his eyes rose with irrepressible fanaticism, and he immediately exclaimed in disbelief:

"Oh my God, the core of the desert region of southwest Iraq was killed by us? I will say that the Iraqi army seems to have changed in the past few days, soft as dough!"

"This is top-secret information from the HSD side, and I hope you can seize this opportunity to surround and kill the Iraqi heavy military group entrenched in the southwest desert area......."

Hearing Schwarzkopf's words, Colonel Christer's eyes suddenly lit up, he knew that this was Admiral Schwarzkopf's intention to use the air-ground integrated battle that the US military is good at completely annihilating this Iraqi heavy army group in the vast desert, so Colonel Crist snapped and replied loudly:

“yes，sir！”

Two hours later, dozens of coalition warplanes took off against the rising sun and galloped towards the desert region of southwest Iraq, not long after they entered Iraq, in a small village living in an oasis, the old man Abdul was leisurely smoking dry cigarettes, and when he heard the roar from the sky, he couldn't help but raise his cloudy old eyes, looked at the endless sky, and then shook his head gloomily:

"Are there going to be air strikes in broad daylight? Are these American brutes really going to turn Iraq into hell.........

"Since they want this place to be hell, then we'll make a heaven ......."

Before the old man Abdul could finish speaking, a weak and firm voice came from the earthen house, and then a young man in a traditional Arabic robe walked out on crutches, and walked out step by step, if Lu Weijun and Muhammad were here at this time, they would definitely be surprised, because the person who came out was none other than Lu Jiadong, who had been sentenced to death for five days.......
