Volume 2 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 1583 Fierce Battle (4)
"Connect me to the Prowler!" The commander frowned unconsciously. "Communications officer, search for the life-saving emergency communication channel at once, and determine the exact location of our poor children in the shortest possible time." β
In fact, it goes without saying from the commander that, in accordance with standard working procedures, the communications officer has already begun to do so.
The cost of training a fighter pilot and the crew of an electronic warfare aircraft is undoubtedly extremely expensive, and the personnel of these fighter pilots and the crews of the electronic warfare aircraft are undoubtedly one of the most valuable and valuable assets of the US military; and unlike those pieces of equipment that can be installed in large quantities in a short period of time if necessary, the training of these military personnel with high precision and top-notch quality will undoubtedly take a great deal of time and energy to achieve.
Attaching importance to the safety of the lives of these personnel has naturally become one of the most important tasks of the US military, after all, protecting the lives of these people is equivalent to protecting the high-quality assets of the US military.
Although it is said that there will be Internet access in war, and it is inevitable that combat planes rushing to the front line will be shot down in many cases, in order to reduce the losses on its side as much as possible, the US military has naturally tried every means to ensure the personal safety of its own high-quality assets.
The most basic one is to equip all pilots and crews of special operations aircraft who parachute to survive after an accident with a post-parachute survival device.
When the survival device is activated, it can send a set of encrypted distress signals containing the specific location after GPS positioning to the command center of the US military through a dedicated satellite communication channel. The rescue team can determine the specific location of the rescued person based on these signals and shorten the rescue time.
But to go into the territory of Iraq to rescue these hapless guys?
All the guys who heard this order were still stunned: Although the United States has been bullying Iraq as much as it wants all these years, and even refuses to let them eat when they are unhappy, according to today's current situation, it seems that the Iraqi side obviously still has some hole cards in their hands that they do not know, and they just crashed into it so stupidly, and the search and rescue team, which is dominated by helicopters, is there really no problem in entering Iraq at this time?
I x! How can there be no problems?! The commander, who understood what his subordinates were thinking, couldn't help but curse in his heart: You gang of mallets, really think Lao Tzu is a mallet? But is there a way for Lao Tzu, if Lao Tzu doesn't save these unlucky guys, and these unlucky guys are caught by the damn Iraqis, it's not Lao Tzu who is unlucky in the end?
At this moment, the commander was also full of resentment and grievance in his heart, and he did not expect that a mission that was originally extremely simple in his impression could suddenly become such a tricky thing.
However, although the commander was also depressed and aggrieved, he had no way to vent his anger. Because of this thought, he couldn't say it either. The only thing he could do now was to pray that the news he heard from the only surviving Prowler would not be so desperate, even though even the Commander himself did not have much hope that he would hear the good news......
"Prowler, this is the fish nest, what's going on?" An anxious and unusually familiar voice suddenly sounded in the headset of the pilot of the EA-6B "Prowler" electronic warfare plane, who had already begun to appear in a slight trance.
Well...... The moment the driver of the EA-6B "Prowler" heard this sound. I even suspect that my ears are hallucinating! But then, a series of anxious calls in the headset made the driver ecstatic to find that the communication with the base, which had been cut off for a long time, suddenly and inexplicably resumed. β¦,
Moment! The pilot of the EA-6B "Prowler" electronic warfare plane suddenly felt the urge to burst into tears: I had never felt that this voice, which I usually only hated to me, was so cordial, safe, and warm.
The voice sounding in the earphones seemed to carry a kind of magical power, and the pilot of the EA-6B plane felt that his black obstacle phenomenon was not as serious as it was just now, and his spirit and mind were much clearer than just now, but for this poor fellow, the current situation was really not good.
"The prowler reported," the EA-6B pilot who reacted calmed down and quickly picked up important information and reported it to the base, "the situation is very bad, the Wandering Fish 1, Swimming Fish 2 and Aries have been shot down, and the Prowler is being chased by anti-aircraft missiles, so it is impossible to provide more information for the time being." OverοΌ β
There is no need for the prowler to provide more information, and with such words, the hearts of everyone in the entire command center sank! The previous speculation in my mind became a reality: the situation could not have been worse, and two electronic warfare aircraft were dispatched. As a result, all the crew members of the two F-16 fighters and the EP-3E "Aries" electronic reconnaissance plane have all been forced to parachute to escape, and their life and death are uncertain, and this unlucky EA-6B "Prowler" electronic warfare plane may be beaten down at any time by an air defense missile that is in hot pursuit behind the buttocks!
No one doubts that the anti-aircraft missiles capable of taking down the F-16 and EP-3E will not be able to defeat the EA-6B.
"Prowler, now, you do everything possible to get rid of the missiles behind you, and our support will be there soon!" The commander wiped his forehead depressedly, "Don't worry, my children, the United States will not give up on you." OverοΌ β
βyessirοΌβ
Apparently, the commander's phrase "The United States will not give up on you!" The four guys in the surviving EA-6B "Prowler" electronic warfare plane were so encouraged that the guys in the command center could even hear a burst of excited cheers coming from the intercom!
I need to report this matter to Mr. Minister of Defense right away! I need to let Mr. President know right away! Need to contact the Fifth Fleet Command on duty in the Persian Gulf right away! Several thoughts crossed Mr. Commander's mind in an instant.
However, he did not need to do anything to inform the Fifth Fleet, and the only surviving EA-6B "Prowler" electronic warfare plane originally took off from the "Enterprise" Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier stationed in the Persian Gulf, and the EA-6B "Prowler" electronic warfare plane had already made a report to his immediate superiors as soon as communications were restored.
Seeing that the Air Force is unlucky, to be honest, the Fifth Fleet is really quite gloating at the moment~: Look, your Air Force dispatched three planes, all of which were planted inside, and our Navy dispatched one plane, and it is still good so far, it has been proven that our Navy is stronger than your Air Force! -- It is not uncommon for the navy and air force of the three major branches of the US military to not get along well. On the premise of not affecting the interests of the United States, it is their greatest pleasure to see the other side in trouble.

"Drip~Drip~Drip~" Rice's BlackBerry phone suddenly vibrate, looking at the content displayed on the phone, Rice's face did not change, but there was still a trace of joy in his eyes.
ββ¦β¦οΌβ Although he had been talking to the dog, he had been paying attention to Bush Jr. on Rice's side, and noticed that Rice was looking at his mobile phone and quickly gave him an inquiring look.
Rice did not speak, but nodded slightly and gave George W. Bush an affirmative reply; But then he gently tugged the corner of his clothes downward.
George W. Bush, who was in a good mood, was instantly depressed: When did this damn Iraq still have such strong strength...... The action of pulling the clothes horn is the code word agreed by the two before, indicating that the plane was shot down and the pilot and crew successfully escaped. β¦,
George W. Bush should feel very fortunate that Rice did not pick up the Kun bag he was carrying and put it on his lap...... This action meant that the entire squad was wiped out by the damned Iraqis, although this possibility was considered the most unlikely at the time.
Bush Jr. did not speak, but only bowed his head slightly and looked at the tips of his shoes.
This normal action only means one meaning at this time: make every effort to rescue these unlucky children! -- What is implicit in this action is not just a simple military action, but a series of economic, military, public opinion, and other actions, with only one purpose, so that these unfortunate children cannot become bargaining chips in Saddam's hands. If necessary, it is not impossible for these hapless children who parachuted to survive to be "brutally murdered by the Iraqi Republican Guard".
The military has always served politics. No one knows better than George W. Bush how passive the Americans will be in the next actions if these unlucky guys fall into the hands of Saddam Hussein, a madman!

When this series of reactions was made in less than half a minute, the pilot of the hapless EA-6B "Prowler" electronic warfare plane was still desperately fighting against the two SAM-2 air defense missiles behind him!
The hapless kid didn't have time to think too much, and now the hapless kid had only one thought on his mind: please, these two damn missiles!
"Hold it down! Low! Hold it down again! The pilot hit the ground with his head on the ground and the standard upside-down action of increasing the throttle and slamming it hard towards the ground, while holding himself the heart of his beating speed about to catch up with the speed of his own aircraft engine, and at the same time desperately cheering himself up: You can do it, you can do it......
Behind him, the two missiles are still in hot pursuit!
Front. The gray earth in the night sky is getting closer and closer to him, and his expression is becoming more and more hideous! Like a huge ancient beast, it is opening its greedy blood basin mouth to this unlucky child! It seems that love is ready to swallow itself at any time!
This is the moment! Right now! After silently counting down in his heart, the pilot pulled the nose of the plane up, and the fuselage was less than 20 meters from the ground, narrowly flattening the attitude of the plane from a downward vertical dive to an oblique upward, and the whole action was a bit like a clumsy fish hook made by a child!
This is the time! When he saw the EA-6B "Prowler" electronic warfare plane on the screen in front of him quickly pulling up the nose of the plane, Zhang Lan quickly tapped the "delete" key on the keyboard twice......
The next two SAM-2s crashed into the ground with two loud bangs, "boom~boom~", and thousands of preset fragments preset in the warhead splashed the yellow sand on this piece of ground in all directions!
The huge overload caused the pilot of the EA-6B "Prowler" electronic warfare plane to have all the blood in his body pressed against the lower half of his body, unable to return to his body, and unable to obtain sufficient oxygen supply of blood to his brain. Because of the lack of oxygen in the brain, the whole person's senses were severely dulled, but the explosion sound that seemed to be very vague and distant in his ears reminded the unlucky child that he had probably gotten rid of those two damn Sam-2 anti-aircraft missiles for the rest of his life.
Did I really succeed? In the cabin of the EA-6B "Prowler" electronic warfare plane, the pilot, who was sweating profusely and was seriously overdrawn, noticed that the piercing radar warning sound and the glaring red warning lights in the cabin had all disappeared.
You just managed to kill those two missiles?! It was only at this time that the poor boy finally realized this. Just as he was about to raise his hand to celebrate with his companions, the pilot suddenly found that his whole body was sore, so tired that he didn't even want to move a finger, and the whole flight suit was as if it had just been fished out of the water, and the water was all soaked with his own sweat! β¦,
After mentally setting up the autopilot of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier "Enterprise" returning to the Persian Gulf, the pilot reported to the base through the radio communication system, and at the same time made up his mind in his heart: After returning to the aircraft carrier, I will eat 10 hamburgers, 20 steaks, and rest for 10 days......
ββββββββββββββββ
"Oops!" The Iraqi soldiers, who had been watching all this through the screen in the radar antenna car, screamed in annoyance, they did not expect that in the end, they would let the last American plane escape!
"Launch the missile. Hurry up and launch the missile! Some of the fellows who had not yet reacted yelled at their companions, and they were very upset that the duck that had been put on the plate after cooking it by themselves had flapped its wings twice under his nose and flew away crookedly......
"This ...... It seems like we only have 12 of these missiles. "A guy who remembered the reason for it said helplessly.
At the moment of "......," all the Iraqi soldiers who were still in high spirits just now fell silent, and it was only at this time that they remembered that the 12 Sam-2 anti-aircraft missiles launched earlier were those of the respected Saddam Hussein. President Hussein personally modified the rest of the SAM-2 anti-aircraft missiles of the old model.
Use the previous SAM-2 against that EA-6B "Prowler" electronic warfare aircraft in the sky? With a single electronic jamming from the other side, these old Sam-2s became blind.
"Let's hope those brothers can find those damn Americans." After being silent for a long time, I don't know which guy came out with such a sentence first.
As soon as these words came out, a group of Iraqi soldiers suddenly lifted their spirits!
Of course, they know that while they are staying in this radar antenna car, there are some of their brothers who are always ready to capture those American soldiers who have to fall from the sky, and as long as they can successfully capture these American prisoners, and publicize them through the media, the Americans will have to give in to us.
That's right, although the plane of the evil Americans ran one, but we didn't shoot down three more damned American planes before, didn't we? And as long as we catch those American pilots who parachuted, we still make a lot of money.
"It's a pity, it's a pity." In the presidential palace in Baghdad, looking at the EA-6B "Prowler" electronic warfare plane on the screen that had escaped like a fart and urine for the rest of its life, President Saddam Hussein said to Uncle Ben with a look of regret, and his regret was beyond words.
"It's a pity," Uncle Ben nodded, Uncle Ben was naturally very depressed if he didn't completely annihilate these four planes, but at this time, Uncle Ben obviously thought more, "My respected brother, I think, this is not a bad thing for us, this plane back will definitely bring back our strong and unyielding will to fight and the horror of war to these Americans like flowers in a greenhouse." As long as we can successfully demoralize them, and succeed in catching those damn American pilots, the value of that is much greater than the value of one or even 10 planes that we shot down. β
"My brother, you're right." Saddam Hussein tilted his head and thought about it, then nodded.
As a mature politician and hero, of course he has this awareness, and the reason why he was so out of shape just now was just because he was too excited and had no idea for the time being.

"Oops...... Comfortable......" Zhang Lan stretched comfortably, and was just about to backhand pinch his cervical spine, which was a little stiff because he had maintained a movement for a long time, and a pair of warm little hands gently touched his neck.
"Comfortable, it's nice to tease both countries in the middle of a round of applause, right? A lot of words" The owner of the little hand teased while helping Zhang Lan gently knead the somewhat stiff cervical vertebrae with the strength of the cut.
"How can it be teased between applause," Zhang Lan was very dissatisfied with this statement, "It should be said that in the noble character of helping the weak, we noblely helped the weak Iraqis to successfully resist a malicious military action by the Americans; And in the spirit of humanitarianism, we helped a group of loyal, brave and upright soldiers survive. In any case, we are representatives of nobility and virtue; ...... the embodiment of justice and mercy,
