"Damn, brigade commander, what about our planes? If we don't come back, we won't be able to fight this battle. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info "The commander of the first machine infantry regiment of the first machine infantry brigade ignored the dust on his body, strode into the command headquarters, opened his throat and shouted.
Aka frowned slightly, glared at his subordinates in displeasure, and said, "Look at what you look like now?" You can't fight a war without air support? ”
Seeing the unconvinced look on his subordinates' faces, Aka said helplessly, "Colonel Godin, the enemy's air force is also very weak, and after a night of attacking, it is almost at their limit. Rest assured, our air force is ready to give them a surprise attack at a critical moment to eliminate the enemy's air threat in one fell swoop. ”
"I'm going to have to wait, I don't know if those air force cubs can do it...... Godin put on his hat again, and went out with a jail in his mouth, as the commander of the 1st Regiment, if it weren't for the suppression of the Kenyan Air Force, the 1st Regiment could not play the role of an armored force, so that the whole regiment felt aggrieved, he would not have run to the headquarters to complain.
Aka was not angry with Godin's actions, he knew that Godin was so short-tempered, but he didn't want to die in a fight. In many cases, this kind of person who does not want to die is still very much needed, and only the commander who does not want to die, can lead the team to fight hard.
"Adjutant, pick me up at the Air Force Camel Mountain Base." Aka glanced at the sun shining outside, and felt that the time was almost up. With Kenya's ultra-small air force, after many battles in one night, the planes and pilots have reached the limit, and it is time for the air force fighters on their side to go out and wipe out the opponent.
At the Camel Mountain Base of the Air Force, a terrible siren suddenly sounded. Several Air Force pilots, who had been resting, immediately threw out of the break room and rushed to the runway. And the logistics personnel of the airport, who had been prepared for a long time, had already dragged the MiG-23 fighters out of the hangar.
In the second half of yesterday night, six MiG-23 fighters of the Somali Air Force on combat duty on the northern front were urgently transferred to the southern front, which is unknown to outsiders except for a few high-ranking Somali leaders. Kenyan intelligence thought it would be Somalia's small air force fighting Somaliland on the northern front.
"Good luck, Hado!" In the cockpit of a silver-white MiG-23, Jababa put on his helmet and spoke to the pilot of another fighter next to him.
"You too, may the Lord bless you!" Hado and Jababa, a companion, had a high tacit understanding, and stuck his head out of the cockpit and said loudly.
After saying that, the two laughed and closed the cockpit canopy. MiG-23 fighter No. 001 piloted by Hado and No. 003 fighter piloted by Jababa will be used as the first detachment to carry out guerrilla warfare on the front line frequented by the Kenyan Air Force.
The MiG-23, as the first generation of single-engine single-seat supersonic heavy fighters in the former Soviet Union, adopted a variable sweep wing layout for the first time, in order to meet the different flight conditions of high altitude and medium and low altitude at the same time. It enables the aircraft to use a large sweep angle when flying at high altitude to improve the acceleration surname and high-speed flight ability of the aircraft, and the aircraft uses a small sweep angle when flying at medium and low altitudes to improve the lift obtained by the wing of the aircraft and ensure the smooth flight of the aircraft. Therefore, the MiG-23 can be used as a high-altitude interception, and can also be used as an attack aircraft for ground attack.
Although as the first fighter to use a variable swept wing, the MiG-23 has some deficiencies in design, in addition to the rough electronic process of the former Soviet Union, which makes the fighter weak anti-jamming ability, it is undeniable that the MiG-23 fighter has its own place in the history of modern aircraft, because the MiG-23 is second only to the MiG-21 in the actual combat experience of Soviet-made aircraft. However, looking at the record of the MiG-23, it is not difficult to find that the MiG-23 is far inferior to the MiG-21. This is not to say that the MiG-23 surname can be bad, but that the MiG-23 is 'born at the wrong time'.
As a second-generation aircraft, the MiG-23 is often a third-generation famous aircraft, such as F-15, F-16, or quasi-third-generation such as F-14. When the MiG-21 was in the sky, most of these third-generation aircraft were still under development, or they were not put into active service, and the main Western aircraft at that time were F-4, F104, and Mirage 3. In the sixties and seventies, the comprehensive surname was basically the same, and it is not surprising that the MiG-21 can achieve remarkable results.
The opponent of Somalia this time is the F-5E fighter equipped by the Kenyan Air Force, and the development goal of the Tiger fighter was to take the Su-7 and MiG-21 as the combat object, and as the development of the MiG-21, although the MiG-23 can not be compared with the F-5E fighter after a series of upgrades in the eighties and nineties, it is more advanced than the F-5E fighter purchased by Kenya as early as 1976.
Of course, air combat is not more advanced than which fighter on both sides is more advanced, and although the advanced fighter has a great impact on the final result, the quality of the personnel, that is, the quality of the pilots and the ability to react on the spot, are all important factors that affect the results. Among the records of the MiG-23, there are many third-generation advanced fighters such as the F-15/16,
That's why Acre decided to fight hard to make the casualties of the ground combat troops heavier, and also to ensure that the air force can hit with one blow.
Kenya, like most African countries, is a weak air force, the size of the air force is very small, the overall quality of the pilots is not very high, and the number of reserve pilots is not much.
……
"Said, who the hell are you?" When Moore saw that the situation in the headquarters was controlled by a major, he felt bad in his heart, and immediately asked with a stern face.
In his mind, this Sayyid is either a Somali spy or an old rival Gelae, and no matter which side it is, it will be against him. If Said were Guelle's, the old adversary would have killed him in order to completely eliminate himself as a threat to his presidency; If Said is the one who is the political axe of Somalia, he will not be able to survive.
Moore asked loudly and slowly, and as soon as he approached his desk and got the gun in it, he had a chance of survival.
But his small action was so conspicuous in a quiet headquarters. Said even had a hint of mockery on his face.
"Sir, if I were you, I wouldn't think of turning things around with a small pistol. Because at this point, several guns are already aimed at you at the same time. I don't think you, sir, who have not been trained in shooting for more than ten years, will definitely not be faster than the elite soldiers I brought. ”
Colonel Moore stumbled on his feet and almost sat on the ground. At this moment, he let his soul sublimate, and he could really discover the hidden dangers. He was sure that Said, knowing his purpose, remained indifferent, either relying on it, or waiting for him to resist with a gun, so that he could shoot him openly.
He didn't continue to move, and his life safety was extremely important to him at this moment. Although it is possible to die if you fall into the hands of the enemy, is it only possible? It's not certain that you'll die. If it was really Said's bastard's annihilation, he might have been shot into a sieve by the guards immediately.
Said nodded with satisfaction and said, "As for who I am, everyone will know right away." ”
Ten minutes later, there was a sound of footsteps outside the headquarters, and the eyes of the Somaliland officers were all looking at the gate of the headquarters, and they were also curious about which side Syed belonged to.
Entering, an Araba man in military uniform in his forties walked into the headquarters with a group of guards, and saw that the situation inside was obviously prepared, and his face did not show the slightest surprise.
"Report to the general, and the subordinate Saeed will report to you." When Said saw the comer, he hurriedly strode forward and saluted, and said loudly.
"You're Said? Yes, this time it was a great achievement. The visitor patted Said on the shoulder and smiled heartily.
And the Somaliland officers in the command were collectively petrified. Because they basically know this Arab soldier, and even if they don't, just look at the distinctive eagle logo on the opponent's military uniform, and understand that the officer whom Saeed called a general is from the Somali Defense Forces.
"Brigadier Moore...... No, it's time to call you Chief of Staff Moore. Why do you still keep a straight face when you see an old friend? The Somali general's piercing eyes swept over the Somaliland officer in the room, and when he saw Moore standing in the corner, a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Brigadier Crafor, I didn't expect it to be you!" Moore said with a wry smile. The person who came could really be regarded as his 'old friend', because the other party was the brigadier general of the 5th Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Somali Defense Forces. Before he was promoted to chief of the General Staff of the Somaliland Armed Forces, he was the commander of the 2nd Somaliland Tank Brigade stationed at the demarcation line, and the two units could see each other's camps without binoculars across the 10-kilometer demarcation line.
"Chief of Staff Moore, and all of you, I have come to invite you to revolt and lead your troops back to Somalia on the orders of Chief of Staff Hussein. Chief of Staff Hussein promised that as long as you lead your troops to revolt, we will have the opportunity to fight side by side in the future, of course, if you hand over the command of the troops, the chief of staff will not treat you badly, and you can retire after the war and become a rich man! The commander of the Fifth Mechanized Infantry Brigade, Clavao, looked at the Somaliland officers and said with a straight face.
It can be seen from Crafor's words that he is also a person with a heart. Letting these Somaliland officers lead their troops to 'revolt' is still a face-saving affair for everyone, and it is much better than simply letting them surrender unconditionally.
"And rest assured, your main relatives in Hargeisa have been rescued by our special forces and settled in a safe place. You don't need to worry about it. Seeing that some of the officers still had scruples, Craford immediately thought of the reason.
The Somaliland officers, including Moore, agreed after a little deliberation. Somalia gave Liko and face, and if it wasn't interesting, it would be stupid.
