Chapter 616: The Battle Behind the Scenes II
One of the hidden killer features of the Mercenary Air Force, ten F-117A stealth bombers formed into a combat squadron, took off from the Heraklion military airfield in Greece and quickly rushed to the 750-kilometer straight line distance, the Turkish forward military base in Nicosia, and the main base in North Sai.

"The strategy developed by the Ministry of Defense is to use delaying tactics to deal with the situation in Cyprus, Greece cannot always lease the weapons and equipment of the Golden Triangle mercenaries, nor can it hire the Golden Triangle mercenaries to assist in the war for a long time, this kind of expenditure can drag down Greece's finances...... "Originally, this was a war situation meeting of the Turkish Cyprus Garrison Command, but with two earth-shattering explosions, the conference room flew into the sky along with the three-story office building.
For the Nighthawk, which was close to the speed of sound, the voyage took just over forty minutes to complete, and after reaching the base and locking on to the target, each aircraft opened the hatch under the belly of the aircraft and dropped two GBU-27/B Paveway III laser-guided bombs.
The radar stations around the base also had a number of on-board radars, which did not respond to the arrival of the F-117A stealth bomber, and in the absence of warning, the command was directly hit by a 908-kilogram bomb, and the outcome can be imagined.
In a civilian house not far from the base, Eric can see the situation in the base seven or eight hundred meters away without a thermal imager, and the office building of the headquarters and a number of warehouses were directly destroyed by the bomb, affecting vehicles, weapons and ammunition, and the oil depot was naturally not spared, the skyrocketing fire and continuous explosions, miserable shouts and constantly running crowds made this base a purgatory on earth.
"How is this possible? Greek planes swaggered over the base and dropped bombs, so many military radars did not react in the slightest, and the equipment of our Turkish army has not lagged behind to such an extent, right? Could it be that Greece is using an F-22 Raptor fighter, or a B-2 stealth strategic bomber? When the Minister of Defense received the call, he immediately jumped up from the bed.
He received a call from the deputy commander of the Cyprus garrison, and the forward command and forward base of Nicosia, the headquarters and main military base of the Turkish army in Cyprus were simultaneously heavily bombed by Greek aircraft, and the losses could hardly be described as devastating.
The base was hit by a number of heavy aerial bombs, and its accuracy made people feel chills, not only the material warehouse, ammunition warehouse, grain warehouse, oil depot and other infrastructure facilities were destroyed, but the most unfortunate thing was that a group of high-ranking officials of the garrison headquarters, including the commander and chief of staff, were blown up and their bones were lost.
Because he had to deal with the problems left over from the end of the battle a few days ago, the deputy commander had been leading the officers and staff officers of the logistics support department to take command at a temporary base not far from the front line, repairing the damaged armored vehicles and heavy equipment, arranging for the wounded to be treated in hospitals, and dispatching supplies to the front line to fight a protracted war.
"It's a pity, Your Excellency, although I don't want to believe that this is true, but the facts are indefensible, our radar did not detect the other party's plane! Moreover, after on-site investigation, I judged that the other side had taken a precision strike this time, and that our officers and men had lost very little in the bombing, but they had lost about 80 percent of the ammunition, oil, food, and daily necessities that could be stored! ”
"This is not the most troublesome thing, because of the war, we have built a number of temporary bases in various places, and the materials in them are enough to be used for a period of time, but the current problem is that the water storage tanks used to maintain normal life in the two bases were torn apart by bombs, and after the estimation of the logistics department, at most a month, the garrison will encounter a crisis of water shortage, which is the most deadly." The deputy commander said with a wry smile.
"What, you said those water tanks at the base were blown up? I want you to tell me it's not true, how can you let this happen? The Minister of Defense was shocked when he heard the news.
"Those large water storage tanks made of concrete and iron sheets are too poor in defense to block the impact of heavy bombs, and there is not a single one left, which shows that the other side's planes are premeditated to blow up our water source." The deputy commander said.
Cyprus has received little precipitation in recent years, and the North Race is seriously short of fresh water resources and needs to be replenished from Turkey, which is known to the whole world, but fortunately, the closest distance between Cyprus and Turkey is only a few tens of kilometers, and it is easy to transport, so everyone ignores this threat.
"What a vicious method, such a powerful strategy, with the mercenary navy blocking the sea, our transportation routes have been cut off, so we will send planes to blow up the warehouses and drinking water in the base, so that we will only have a dead end! I dare say that these planes must have something to do with mercenary regiments, and the aircraft carrier fleet has electronic warfare aircraft. The Minister of Defense said with a frown.
The high-ranking generals of the Turkish military are also powerful characters, and as soon as the things are analyzed in series, the purpose of the bombing of the base by Greek aircraft is clear. On the one hand, it is to destroy the war potential and prevent the Turkish army from launching a second attack, and the ammunition is so out that there is still no war?
On the other hand, it is necessary to blow up the water storage tank, so that the army loses fresh water, so that a dilemma is formed, not only that, can not get fresh water from Turkey, the life of the local residents will also face disaster, a day without food is nothing, but a day without drinking water is absolutely not good!
"Boss, last night's precision strike was very successful, dozens of water storage tanks in the two largest bases of the Turkish garrison were all blown up, although there are still some small water storage tanks, but they can last for a month at most, and we can continue to carry out bombing and push these Turkish troops into a desperate situation." Hunter said with a smile.
"Yes, our Greek military also agrees with this method, as long as there is no water, the will of these Turkish troops will be broken, and they will have to surrender to us, Your Excellency Instructor, we are very impressed by your strategy, worthy of the spiritual leader and commander of the mercenary regiment." This was stated by the Minister of Defense of Greece.
"No, no, no, the highest war realm in China is a soldier who surrenders without a fight, but there is a saying in this, we can't let the Turkish army despair all of a sudden, what we get in that way is a bloody battle at any cost!"
"It is conceivable that in the case of longing for life, for the sake of oneself and one's family, how much energy people's survival instinct will burst out, and they will tear apart all obstacles! I dare to say, once your plan is implemented, the remaining nearly 40,000 regular soldiers of the Turkish garrison will become a beast that has lost its mind, and how much misery will it bring to the people of Cyprus, and how many casualties will it bring to the Greek soldiers? ”
"A little bit of loss of hope, and then gradually transition to despair step by step, will the will of man completely collapse, and only then will he give in to reality! Your thinking is too conventional, and you can only be a qualified general, but you are by no means a qualified commander. Wu Chen shook his head and said.
