Chapter 385: A Doomed Tragedy
PS: In the confrontation of modern warfare, just looking for information is enough of a headache. If it's not well written, please forgive me!
——————
There was a suffocating atmosphere in the headquarters of the coalition forces in Georgia, and everyone knew what was going to happen, and everything was doomed from the moment the 12 B2 stealth bombers of the 509th Bombardment Wing of the US Army took off from several bases one after another more than 10 hours ago, and there had never been such a big spending, and the cost of the 12 B2s alone exceeded $28.4 billion, which was enough for a small country to keep the whole country busy for several years. The main thing is that these twelve B-2s, half of the total number of American B-2 bombers.
"Five minutes to go!"
Twelve B2 stealth bombers will use a full twenty-four heavy ground-penetrating bombs (MOPs) weighing 13.6 tons each to turn twelve of the sixteen known important Somali facilities into useless rubble, and all defenses will be useless in the face of MOPs (heavy ground-penetrating bombs) capable of penetrating 40 meters of hard rock.
They will completely guarantee the destruction of all military and industrial strength in Somalia and achieve the goal of complete annihilation in the First World War.
"The cruise missile has entered Somali airspace and is expected to reach the target in eight minutes!"
On the other hand, with the release of the ground guide and the charging officer in the E-3 AWACS aircraft one by one, a task force designed to strike the Somali air defense force rose steadily from the hill base into the sky in the vast night, and the entire task force was composed of 26 fighters of different types to complete different tactical tasks, two of which were F-16 carrying improved ALQ-184 electronic warfare pods to interfere with the radar guidance heads of the missiles equipped with the V-1FK. Six F22s carry two non-nuclear electromagnetic pulse bombs to attack the mysterious black box. The last 16 B52s will carry out deterrent carpet bombing with 320 CBU-87/B cluster bombs and 1,000 227-kilogram aerial bombs.
After completing the grouping and sorting, the 26 US fighters flew to the hinterland of Somalia under the guidance of the E-3 early warning planes, which was almost exactly the same as the deduction in the computer; in less than five minutes, the powerful jamming signal transmitted from the ground to the air in Somalia caused the radar warning buzzers in the cockpit of the 26 fighters to chirp frantically.
"Hamster 1 completes launch!"
"Hamster 2 completes launch!"
……
In accordance with the established combat procedures, the pilots of the six F22s, after receiving the alarm prompt, aimed at the place where the active signal on the ground was the strongest and pressed the button of the fire control switch. This is the fourth time that the US military has used non-nuclear electromagnetic pulse bombs after the Gulf War in '91, the Yugoslav War in '99, and the Iraq War in '03, a new type of attack munition that many countries have not even begun to develop.
Just when the two non-nuclear electromagnetic pulse bombs were still diving at high speed, four long fire dragons were already rushing up on the ground, and the reaction speed of the V-1FK in the hands of the Chinese soldiers was obviously much faster than that of the Somali People's Army, and in just a few seconds, the warning sound of being locked by the missile radar resounded in the cockpit of the two F22 fighters.
"Kangaroo 1 and 2 turn on ALQ-184! Big Bear United goes into projection! The U.S. commander on the E-3 instinctively shouted to the screen, almost at the same time as the F22 fighters accelerated their climb, the two F-16s also activated the two sets of electronic warfare pods attached to the belly of the aircraft in time, and the powerful jamming ability perfectly showed its amazing power in a thousandth of a second, and the four V-1FK surface-to-air missiles that rushed to the ground mistakenly detonated the warhead when they were still two kilometers away from the actual target.
"Boom... Rumble! Two dull noises rolled across the ground, and the excess electromagnetic pulse instantly turned all electronic equipment within a dozen square kilometers around the explosion point into scrap metal. A faint green smoke swirled repeatedly on the various instruments. According to the script, the B-52, which followed behind, would have a perfect end to the operation.
At the same time.
"The Tomahawk missile of the Army tactical missile system has been launched, and it will touch the target in six minutes!"
"The fighter group has risen into the air, and the predetermined area is locked!"
"Somalia will soon be back to the Stone Age. Six hundred and twenty-seven Tomahawks, more than seventy percent of the targets will be completely destroyed. "Dempsey is still dressed in civilian clothes. Standing behind him was Lieutenant General Delev, deputy commander of the coalition forces to France.
"Seventy percent is just the most conservative estimate. The optimistic figure is 95 percent. Delev nodded slightly, his face full of confidence, "The second round of air strikes will begin in twenty minutes, and the key area near Bagua City will be completely baptized with four thousand tons of precision-guided aerial bombs, and the only thing the Somali army can do is to find some fragments of weapons from the mound." ”
"509 Strategic Bombing Wing Report! Two minutes later it reached the bombing target. ”
"Immediately after the bombing is completed, return to the mainland and reload according to the plan. Attacks on underground military targets in Somalia continued. Daleff's tone was as relaxed as if he were directing a military exercise, and there were at least 100 heavy ground-penetrating bombs waiting to be dropped from high on Somali soil on the American mainland. It takes years to build an underground facility, but it only takes a second to destroy it.
However......
These two waves of bombing missions from the "Destroyer" plan are destined to be a great tragedy.
Inside the console, Li Lan stared at these "guests" who came from afar, and when the non-nuclear electromagnetic bombs and jammers were in effect, all the electronic equipment in the base flashed a blur, but soon returned to normal. However, those foreign warships docked in the port of Bagua City were not so lucky, some of the electronic equipment that was running was paralyzed, and all the warships were almost sounding the battle alarm.
Under the protection of the base, the electromagnetic pulse has basically no effect on the electronic equipment of the Red Guard Corps.
The four surface-to-air missiles were successfully detonated under the interference of the other side, which was nothing for Li Lan. This time, he vowed to pull at least three taels of meat off the Americans, and these four anti-aircraft missiles were just a little fireworks to decorate the night sky, and also made the killer weapon of the American war, and the two groups of bombers entered the most effective lethality range of anti-aircraft fire as they wished. He wants to kill all of them and use them to wash away the soldiers who died in battle.
"Fifteen kilometers, ten kilometers, eight kilometers......" When the bomber came to the distance of Bagua City, which was only eight kilometers outside the core circle of the military industry, Li Lan's face was already like a cold winter, and the command voice that was colder than the sound of electronic synthesis came out of his mouth: "Assistant, immediately release the electromagnetic pulse, I will completely paralyze all non-our electronic instruments." ”
"Understood."
With the issuance of the order, a strong electromagnetic pulse radiated from the center of the base, and in less than a blink of an eye, the three-dimensional radius of the base was filled with strong electromagnetic signals within a three-dimensional radius of 200 kilometers.
First of all, those coalition planes that can look at Bagua City from afar, whether it is the F-16 or F-22 Raptor, or the strategic bombers B-2 and B-52, all the electronic equipment is paralyzed in an instant, the strong signal lights begin to flash in the plane, all the displays are all green smoke, and a pungent smell of burning spreads in the plane.
At this moment, the general command of the coalition forces, which was far away in the United States, also lost contact with all the fighters in an instant, and the electronic signal was blank.
In the headquarters, a very bad thought flashed through everyone's minds at the same time, and this thought was only three simple words: it's over.
In the sky above Bagua City, whether it was the pilot of the fighter plane or the crew of the bomber, in the face of the situation that appeared in an instant, it seemed that he had seen the scythe of death slash through his neck. Chills all over.
The more rational pilot, instinctively turned the fuselage in a panic, all the tasks had long been left behind, and the only thought was to leave this place quickly.
However, it was too late, in their wide-eyed eyes, through the cabin window, they saw a dense number of missiles rising from all around Bagua City, there was no electronic sound warning, looking at the missiles that were rapidly approaching them, they could only pray that the pod would continue to work.
In the face of the facts, this kind of prayer is just a kind of beautiful hope before death. Not to mention that these electronic pods did not really interfere with the anti-aircraft missiles, and even if they did, they would have been completely ineffective under the powerful electromagnetic control of the base.
Hundreds of anti-aircraft missiles completely surround the aircraft group, and each missile is guided by the base, all of them come to the Patriot defense unit, and the launch is purely automatic tracking.
Fireworks bloom in the sky and hundreds of bright red ribbons wave in the sky, making it a fireworks festival that is extremely extravagant.
The bulky B-52 became a real target, and a group of twenty-six planes did not escape. Violent explosions sounded one after another, accompanied by the burning and falling wreckage in the sky, a rain of meteorites like the end of the world, and bright red burning objects scattered in the sky, and the night had already been lit up.
The equally bulky B-2 did not escape because of its stealth capabilities, and even six F-22s were not spared. Although the US fighter planes have strong anti-electromagnetic capabilities, once they are interfered with, the result will be very tragic.
As a result, Li Lan did not destroy all the fighters as he had hoped, and one F-16 escaped. It's not perfect, but tonight's harvest is worth it.
However, the matter is not over yet, the sky around Bagua City is full of fireballs slowly falling, and under the backdrop of the firelight, the attacking Tomahawk missiles have become the end of this air defense battle.
Some people are happy and some are sad, Li Lan is happy, and some people are very depressed. Many reporters could only look up to the sky and sigh as they looked at the scrapped cameras in their hands. News of such huge value, without the embellishment of pictures, instantly depreciated a lot.
Of course, their sorrows are not as heavy as those of the coalition forces. In the headquarters of the coalition forces, the oppressive atmosphere made everyone dare not make any noise.
Dempsey, a veteran of the U.S. Army, seems to have aged twenty years in an instant, and his spirit is even more withered. and two minutes of him formed a heaven and earth gap. (To be continued......)
