There was a whistling sound, and Wang Dong immediately rushed out of the command center.

To the south, eight fighter jets were flying towards this direction at a breakneck speed, all at an altitude of less than five hundred meters.

After reaching the skies over Nasiriyah, the eight fighters split into four twin formations and dropped their bombs one after another after turning.

In the blink of an eye, the flames covered the rebels' battle lines.

Because the fighting was so fierce and the government defense line could collapse at any time, the first batch of JF-17s all carried unguided bombs and dropped bombs at ultra-low altitudes.

The fighter flies low enough that the bomb delivery deviation will not be too large.

Besides, the government army is trapped in the last part of the city, and there is no need to worry about accidentally injuring their own people.

Nearly twenty tons of bombshells, which immediately crushed the offensive actions of the rebels.

"Brother Dong!"

Hearing Wang Haotian's call, Wang Dong returned to the command center.

"The second group of fighters arrived five minutes later and asked us to provide ground guidance."

"Contact Xie Chuyue and Zhang Zilan and let them get ready."

Wang Haotian didn't say much, and immediately gave orders to Xie Chuyue and Zhang Zilan.

After receiving the message from Yunlong, Wang Dong immediately made arrangements for Xie Chuyue, Zhang Zilan, and Lei Dong to take a team to the west, south, and east, trying to hide on the battle line, and when the fighter arrived, he would use the laser pointer he carried to provide ground guidance.

As for how to fight, it's up to them to decide.

The error of laser-guided bombs will not exceed ten meters, the weather conditions are good, they can be controlled within five meters, and the probability of accidentally injuring friendly troops is extremely low.

In addition, the JF-17 carried all small-diameter bombs.

These bombs were purchased from Huaxia when Saudi Arabia purchased the "Pterodactyl" 2, and later spent money to buy a production line, to be precise, an assembly line, that is, the equipped laser seeker still needs to be imported from Huaxia, and Saudi Arabia does not have the production technology in this regard.

As for the bomb itself, on the contrary, there is no technical content.

In order to reduce costs, the main body of this 100-kilogram small-diameter bomb developed by Huaxia is processed from the barrel of a scrapped 155-mm howitzer.

In Yemen, the Pterodactyl-2 drones carrying small-diameter bombs against the Houthis are the most commonly used bombing tactics.

To put it bluntly, the cost is low.

A small-diameter bomb, only a few thousand dollars, is slightly more expensive than an ordinary bomb, and the efficiency of hitting ground targets is still above that of a missile.

It is clearly more cost-effective to bomb Houthi tents with a few thousand dollars of bombs than with tens of thousands of dollars of missiles.

To this end, Saudi Arabia has spent hundreds of millions of dollars in the past few years to purchase at least 200,000 sets of guidance components for small-diameter bombs from Huaxia.

In fact, tens of thousands of them have been used in Yemen.

The rest is all in the warehouse of the Royal Saudi Air Force, and can be taken out and loaded into bombs at any time when needed.

Another advantage of using small-diameter bombs is that it increases the capacity of fighters.

The JF-17 is only a light fighter with a total of three heavy-duty hardpoints, and if you use 500 kg bombs, you can only carry up to three at a time, even if you use 250 kg bombs, you can only carry six, and with composite pylons, you can carry eighteen small diameter bombs.

Even with a drop fuel tank on its belly, a JF-17 can carry 12 small-diameter bombs.

In other words, one sortie is capable of striking 12 ground targets, which is equivalent to increasing combat efficiency by two to four times.

To deal with the rebels in the city, a 100-kilogram small-diameter bomb is enough.

Soon, the second batch of four JF-17s arrived.

This time, instead of entering at an ultra-low altitude, it hovered at an altitude of 6,000 meters.

Flying at high altitudes, mainly to avoid the rebels' individual anti-aircraft missiles.

Like the ultra-low-altitude bombing at the beginning, it is enough to do it once.

When the rebels come to their senses and are ready for battle, letting the fighters enter from an ultra-low altitude is to send them to death.

Having ground guidance information, the JF-17 began to drop bombs.

There is no technology to speak of, that is, after receiving a call from the ground guide, the laser band is set for the seeker of the small-diameter bomb, and then the bomb is dropped.

Next, it's not about the pilot.

All the ground guides had to do was to find the bombing target, then call the fighter and use a laser irradiator to irradiate the target after the fighter dropped the bomb.

In order to ensure the intensity of the bombing, the two JF-17s formed a formation and flew in a staggered manner, ensuring that one of them could drop the bomb immediately after receiving a call.

The main direction of attack of the rebels was in the west and south, so Wang Dong first arranged tasks for Xie Chuyue and Zhang Zilan.

Each of them leads a team of 10 people with two laser irradiators that can illuminate two targets at the same time, but usually only one laser illuminator is used.

The main thing is to avoid interfering with each other.

The bombing lasted a full half hour.

If it weren't for the fact that those JF-17s were about to run out of fuel, I'm afraid Xie Chuyue and Zhang Zilan would have spent more time looking for some higher-value targets.

It's just that the precision bombardment, which lasted for half an hour, was enough to crush the rebels.

You know, this is a laser-guided bomb with an accuracy of up to several meters, it can be said that the bullet is not missing, as long as you are targeted, don't want to live.

What's more, the laser irradiator has a working distance of up to several kilometers.

That is, the rebels can only wait to be bombed.

In fact, the bombardment, which lasted for half an hour, mainly hit buildings controlled by the rebels, especially those that were more fortified.

In Zhang Zilan's words, this is using bombs to demolish dilapidated houses.

Of course, the day's bombing was not over.

An hour later, a third group of four JF-17s arrived, continuing to bombard the rebels hiding in the building, guided by the ground crew.

According to Yunlong's arrangement, in addition to the first batch of eight, each batch had only four, and all of them carried small-diameter bombs, and twenty-four JF-17s were dispatched in turns, which could continue to provide air support for Wang Dong and them at an interval of about one and a half hours.

As long as these fighters do not malfunction, they will be able to "deliver" bombs to Nasiriyah all the time.

Fortunately, the reliability of the JF-17 is very good, and it can be regarded as durable, with a frequency of 2.5 sorties per day, which can last for several days.

To the rebels who invaded Nasiriyah, the JF-17s were demons from hell.

After the fifth round of bombardment of the day, the rebels began to retreat.

However, the rebels did not withdraw from the city.

Quite simply, leaving the city and exposing the open suburbs is more vulnerable to bombing, not to mention that Semavo is more than a hundred kilometers to the west.

The government army did not take advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, because there were not so many troops!

Wang Dong did not arrange for Xie Chuyue and others to pursue the rebels, and if they rashly left the defense line, it would be easy to enter the ambush circle of the rebels in the complex urban area.

The rebels have retreated, but they have not retreated, and they will certainly not be captured.
