Cao Xiaodong is right, Lu Jiadong and Lu Weijun are indeed running out of time, because while the two sides were talking, two F-117A "Nighthawk" stealth attack planes commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Dulles, commander of the famous "Ghost" squadron of the US Air Force, had already taken advantage of the cover of night to penetrate the useless Iraqi radar network and swoop straight towards Semavo, where Lu Jiadong was located.

At the same time, 12 F-16C and 8 F-15E fighters were divided into two attack fleets, adopted an extremely difficult ultra-low-altitude flight attitude, and in the northeast and southwest directions, like two sharp daggers, they plunged into Semavo's heart.

What is even more frightening is that the Iraqi side is unaware of such a large-scale operation by the coalition forces, so it is easy to make use of the air defense warning network built up by the two wars and two victories in the past few days, as if it has failed, and is ignorant of the coalition forces' air raid actions.

What is more important, however, is that the coalition forces have equipped the latest electronic support planes for this targeted elimination operation, and the E-8 "United Star" and the RE-135 electronic reconnaissance plane, which are equipped with the latest electronic jamming system, both the E-8 and the RE-135 have very strong ground detection capabilities.......

At this moment, the E-8 "United Star" battlefield joint surveillance plane, with the support of the powerful electronic jamming of the RE-135 electronic reconnaissance plane, turned on the synthetic aperture radar under the belly of the plane, and the dense radar waves poured down on the ground one by one, taking in everything around Semavo.

Soon, these synthetic aperture radar signals were all recorded into the computer by a special airborne receiving device, and through complex cracking and calculation, they were converted into continuous clear pictures, and through the Link-16 data link special antenna behind the fuselage, the monitored data signals were sent to the command center behind the friendly neighbors.

The Coalition Forces Headquarters in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, immediately received a real-time data signal from the E-8 "United Star" and broadcast it uninterrupted on two large screens hung on the wall, as if it were conducting a live television broadcast, showing the ground fortifications, air defense positions, and aircraft bunkers deployed by Iraq in the Semavo area, and naturally the Babylon Air Base where Lu Jiadong and Lu Weijun lived........

"Stop!"

The new commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Air Force Lieutenant General Horner, after repeatedly watching the real-time surveillance video of Babylon Air Base, asked the operator to pause the playback screen, and then turned out to be the task briefing in the hands of the staff officer next to him, flipped to the target location coordinate parameters provided by the US military intelligence department, and the detailed structural diagram of the building where the pole was located.

"This is it!" he turned his head to the side and asked another staff officer, "Is there any problem with the 'ghost'?"

"Yes, General, at the speed of the 'Ghosts', they should be less than 120 kilometers away from the target, and they will be able to fly over the target at 2:08 a.m. Iraq time, and they can launch an attack at D!"

While looking at his watch, the staff officer reported with a serious expression that the D hour in his mouth was the attack time of the targeted elimination operation, 2:10 in the morning, for which the coalition forces could be said to have stayed up all night and made extremely perfect preparations, and Lieutenant General Horner Air Force was even more hands-on, personally inquiring about every detail, and discussing the feasibility of each step in detail with the staff officers and pilots.

It stands to reason that as the commander of the coalition forces with heavy responsibilities, there are many major matters that require his decision-making and decision-making on the big chessboard of the entire Gulf theater, and there is no need to be so laborious for a tactical operation, but this operation is very different, because it is an order given to him by President Bush himself.

Although Bush's specific directive did not disclose who the specific personnel to be eliminated were, it is certain that this person is absolutely not simple, otherwise it would not have been possible for the US President to directly give orders to him, the theater commander, without the Department of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

It is precisely for this reason that after thinking about himself, Lieutenant General Horner felt that nine times out of ten the big man hiding in Saimawa was Iraqi President Saddam Hussein himself, otherwise who would have the ability to get the US president to order the purge?

If Saddam Hussein is completely eliminated under his leadership, then the current Gulf War will inevitably come to an end, and the US-led coalition forces will now win a victory that has long belonged to them, and Lieutenant General Horner himself will step on the head of his predecessor General Schwarzkopf and become the owner of unsurpassed glory.

As for why President Bush didn't tell him Saddam Hussein's name, it was very simple to say, and it was nothing more than cherishing his reputation; after all, the current US military did not have the same unlimited lower limit as it would be more than a decade later, and it would directly carry out some kind of "decapitation operation" at every turn, and it still talked about chivalry to some extent, and still had great scruples about sneaking up on the enemy's military and political leaders.

In the middle of World War II, in the southwest of the Pacific sneak attack on RB Combined Fleet Commander Isoroku Yamamoto was like this, after learning the specific itinerary and coordinates of Yamamoto's landline, the US military top brass had a serious disagreement on whether to sneak attack, and finally Nimitz reluctantly won the consent of the US military top brass on the grounds that Yamamoto was the initiator and war criminal of the Pearl Harbor incident, which shows that the US military values chivalry.

Of course, after so many years, this chivalry has gradually faded to the point of being no different from a piece of thin paper, but the general consciousness is still there, not to mention that President Bush often considers himself a western cowboy and often talks about the bright and upright, because of this, the cowboy president attaches great importance to his reputation.

Lieutenant General Horner understands this very well, after all, he is the president, and he doesn't have the spirit of turning the black pot on your back and sending you to death, how can he lick his face and sit on the top spot in the United States of America? Fortunately, Horner himself does not have so many twists and turns, he is a pure soldier, except for fighting a war is a war, the rest is not interested, including the beautiful women who make men smeher, and he cannot let him mention the slightest emotion.

Therefore, in his opinion, as long as the war process can be accelerated and the victory can be won perfectly, even the most despicable and dirty means are not a big deal, after all, the war itself is not a clean thing, and how to let the participants keep their holy hearts, so after the outbreak of the Gulf crisis, he is the most determined main battle faction,

Even clamoring for the use of tactical nuclear ~~~ weapons to solve Saddam Hussein, the spoiler in the Middle East, once and for all, in addition to this, Lieutenant General Horner has repeatedly criticized his predecessor, Admiral Schwarzkopf, for his weak attitude and inflexibility in military strikes, and his use of troop scheduling and tactics is simply worse than that of the Vietnam War.

Lieutenant General Horner's tough and unrestrained remarks made him win the reputation of "Air Patton", but also led to his inevitable fate of being marginalized by Admiral Schwarzkopf, so that Horner had the title of commander of the coalition air force, but had no actual command, and his position within the coalition was quite embarrassing.

Fortunately, the treacherous war changed everyone's fate, Admiral Schwarzkopf was dismissed by President Bush because of the heavy losses of the coalition air force and the protracted war, and Lieutenant General Horner, who was favored by Wall Street, was a blessing in disguise.

Although he did not very well understand the profound connotation of the ancient Chinese in capturing thieves and capturing kings, he also knew the great significance of killing local core leaders, and it was precisely for this reason that he raised the operation from a tactical level to a very strategic level and personally planned the plan.

It is undeniable that Lieutenant General Horner, who put aside his political concerns and interests, is indeed more bold, spicy, and offensive than the timid Admiral Schwarzkopf in terms of tactical formulation. More importantly, he never regarded the stormy Iraq as a weak patient, but treated this opponent with the most dedicated attitude, especially for the "Falcon" air defense missile system, and Lieutenant General Horner continued to carry forward the superiority of the US military's equipment.

It can be said that all the resources that the US military can use will be mobilized and equipped with the most elite combat forces, because Lieutenant General Horner will not only snipe and kill the "leader" who he has given the code name of "big man," but also completely uproot Samawah, a strategic point where the Iraqi strategic reserve is stationed.........

"Are the other troops in place?"

Lieutenant General Horner squinted, looked at the real-time images transmitted by E-8, and asked very quickly, several staff officers beside him were obviously not used to the fast pace of this new boss, and they were busy for a while before they determined the location of a few cooperative troops, Lieutenant General Horner held a red and blue pencil, personally marked the new situation on the map, and then frowned and ordered with a displeased face:

"Let the Navy SEALs and Air Crews infiltrate Saimavo directly!"

"General, if you go any further, you will enter the enemy's air defense strike range, right....... Isn't it too dangerous?"

The staff officers around him listened to Horner's words, and almost didn't drop their jaws in shock, it was an extremely dangerous decision to send special forces deep into the hinterland of Iraq, that is, Horner, a reckless madman like Horner, dared to do this, and there was no way for the staff officers to only deploy special forces outside the strike range of the "Falcon" air defense missile system,

But he didn't expect Horner to be dissatisfied with this result, and directly asked him to infiltrate Saimawo, knowing that if he went forward, he would enter the so-called "Falcon" death circle, so many advanced fighters of the US military were shot down, and more than a dozen transport helicopters without super-maneuverable ability were simply sent to death..........
