Chapter 849: The Real Enemy (Part II)
"Oh my God, what the hell is going on?"
"Our helicopter was shot down by the Iraqis.........."
"Where the hell did they launch the missiles from?"
"Why can't our integrated reconnaissance system detect ..........?"
After a long time, the shocked crowd finally came back to their senses, and couldn't help but let out bursts of disbelief, and the face of the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, General Schwarzkopf, was even more gloomy.
It is no wonder that Admiral Schwarzkopf was so angry, even a fool could hear the conversation just now, the plane of the leader of the "Normandy" task force who was in charge of taking the lead was hit by an Iraqi surface-to-air missile, and it was hit instantly.
As a result, the lives of two precious US GIs have fallen in the desert of the yellow sands in Iraq, and if the pilots of the two missing "Apache" helicopter gunships are added to the list of dead in less than seven hours, six more names will be added to the US military's death list..........
You must know that Admiral Schwarzkopf promised the president and congressional bigwigs that he would bring back the children who went out safely, but now 6 children were blatantly killed under his nose, which cannot but be said to be a kind of irony, so Schwarzkopf, who was called "Bull", was furious, and Senran's killing intent filled his azure pupils, making it instantly blood red, and ordered in a deep voice to the generals and staff officers around him:
"Find them, kill them!"
Hearing Admiral Schwarzkopf's order, the shocked expressions of everyone present calmed down and stood upright, but just as they were about to receive the order to deal with this bold guy, the green light on the command intercom suddenly flashed, and the poignant voice exploded in everyone's ears again:
"Headquarters, headquarters, we were attacked by Iraqi surface-to-air missiles, two 'Pave Claw' heavy helicopter gunships were shot down, one was damaged, thirty-six people were killed, seventeen were injured, six of them were seriously injured, the situation was urgent, support was urgently needed, repeat .........."
Quiet, surprisingly quiet, only a hoarse cry for help in the command intercom and the thumping of everyone's hearts, no other sound can be heard, everyone seems to be petrified, standing there in a daze, thirty-six people, the battle has just begun, thirty-six people died in a collective battle, it is conceivable that if this news reaches the country, it will cause an uproar, and the American generals present simply dare not imagine the consequences.

Other generals did not dare to think about it, and Admiral Schwarzkopf did not dare to think about it, if the loss of six "Apache" attack helicopter pilots just now was a slap in the face to him, then this group was responsible for supporting "Normandy" The collective death of the special operations forces of the task force is tantamount to beating him with a stick, plus a slap in the face, which makes him feel distressed at the same time, and at the same time, he is even more violent, this is no longer a simple counterattack, but another organized murder of the US military, no matter what, the attackers can not be allowed to run rampant again:
"Colonel Crist, you now have a new mission!"
After pondering for a long time, Admiral Schwarzkopf finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice with Colonel Christ on the side:
"Find these despicable criminals at all costs, and then use all cruel means to wipe them off the face of the earth!"
Crist's hearing this couldn't help but be stunned, you must know that he is a strategic officer who is in charge of the overall situation, although the attack on the "Apache" and "Pave Claw" helicopter teams is of a bad nature, but compared with the overall battle situation, it is insignificant, not to mention that the current battle situation has reached a critical moment, Crist does not want to let his own cattle-killing knife be used on an unknown chick no matter what, so he opened his mouth and said:
"General, 'Desert Storm' is at a critical moment, and several multi-aircraft formations still need to be coordinated, I'm afraid .........."
"Don't worry!"
Without waiting for Colonel Crist to finish speaking, Schwarzkopf waved his hand without hesitation, for Crist's thoughts, how this battle-hardened veteran couldn't understand, to be honest, he didn't want to transfer this right-hand man away at this critical moment,
But he couldn't help it, the U.S. military suffered such heavy casualties at the beginning of the war, and it will inevitably be condemned by domestic public opinion and anti-war forces, and the best way to calm the huge pressure in the country as soon as possible is to quickly find the attacker and completely eliminate it, but it is not easy to find the real culprit;
The US military's airtight reconnaissance network almost dug Iraq three feet into the ground, and the "White Snow" electronic jamming operation, which was on the offensive, completely paralyzed Iraq's electronic equipment, but even so, Iraq's ground-to-air missile units were still able to effectively evade the US military's all-round reconnaissance, withstand all-round electronic interference, and quietly launch attacks.
Needless to say, such a surface-to-air missile unit is definitely a well-trained, technically excellent, and well-disciplined elite unit, and because of this, it is not an easy task to quickly find it out and annihilate it in one fell swoop.
However, his mind is extremely transparent, otherwise he would not have overcome all the obstacles and climbed all the way to his current position, so he has a very thorough view of the strength of the Iraqi surface-to-air missile unit that attacked the US helicopter fleet, and he is not at ease to hand over such a difficult task to others, and only the thoughtful and treacherous Colonel Crist is the most suitable to choose and choose:
"In terms of coordination, I and the chief of staff are in charge, and you are now finding and killing the Iraqi surface-to-air missile forces that attacked us, and I have a hunch that these Iraqi troops who launched the attack may be our real enemy...........
"The real enemy may come upon us in the next moment!"
The same words were not only uttered from the mouth of General Schwarzkopf, but also by Lu Jiadong, who was following the "Falcon surface-to-air missile battalion" to the north, who had witnessed the first actual combat of the "Falcon" air defense missile system in the Gulf War just half an hour earlier.
Under the command of the battalion commander, Colonel Mohammed, two anti-aircraft missiles were used to cleanly shoot down two "Apache" helicopter gunships 32 kilometers away, and then immediately gathered their troops and carried out an emergency transfer..........
The whole process was carried out cleanly and neatly, the timing was grasped just right, the maneuver evasion and the impromptu ambush complemented each other, and the radar start-up detection and missile launch control were also quite orderly, so it can be said that the battle shocked the US military and raised morale, but this was just an official argument used to whitewash propaganda, but the real situation was that the Iraqi "Falcon" ground-to-air missile battalion stabbed a hornet's nest to the letter;
In just ten minutes, the entire "Normandy" contingent lost its combat effectiveness, and dozens of soldiers threw their bodies into the wilderness, so the loss is not insignificant.
You can figure it out with your toes, once the U.S. military retaliates, how terrifying its power will be, not to mention Lu Jiadong, who is a traverser, even Muhammad, who fought with the U.S. military for the first time, can see it, so after the blow is successful, Muhammad no longer loves to fight,
At this moment, Lu Jiadong, Lu Weijun, Mohammed, and others were gathering in front of a detailed map of the Iraqi theater to discuss the next plan of action...........
"I estimate that the strike on the US helicopter fleet can confuse the US military in a short period of time, so that it cannot know how many troops are counterattacking them, but this situation will not last long, after all, the electronic warfare planes hovering in the air by the US military are not vegetarian, although our radar is on for a short time, but the radar wave signals released will still be captured by the signal passive receiving system of electronic warfare aircraft such as 'compass call', as long as they are screened and analyzed, it is not difficult to find our heads!"
Lu Jiadong's words made the current situation concise and to the point, Lu Weijun is not bad, after all, he has seen Lu Jiadong's superb tactical command ability during the self-defense and counterattack war against Vietnam, but Muhammad has seen these things, although he also knows that danger is imminent,
But I don't know when this danger will come, and how it should come, listening to Lu Jiadong's analysis, Colonel Muhammad only felt a sense of enlightenment, suddenly enlightened, so that the original reverence for Lu Jiadong was extremely respectful, and even more held countless shining little stars, using a popular word in later generations to describe Muhammad at this moment, that is, a die-hard fan...........
"Instructor Lu, what should we do next?" asked Muhammad, a little impatient.
"Go here!" Lu Jiadong continued on the map, "As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place, and since Nahab has been attacked by the US military, it is bound to make them relax their vigilance, and we happen to set up an ambush position here to intercept the US military ............aircraft group passing north before the US military has identified us." )
