Chapter 617: The Bridge Was Bombed
It's a pity that Mark still didn't act, he knew that this time his side had failed again, and the Soviets' aircraft carriers had the upper hand again!
Of course, you still have your cards, and you still have fighters in the air, but can you attack the aircraft carriers of the Soviets? Just now, our own fighters have long been firmly locked by the radar of the opponent's warships, and if they really attack, they may be able to drop dozens of anti-ship missiles and torpedoes, but in the same way, their own carrier-based aircraft will be shot down in large numbers!
In this way, the cold war becomes a hot war! In the European direction, the Soviets, with their rolling torrent of armor, will easily break through their own defenses! The situation will be a hundred times more complicated than it is now! For the sake of the Middle East, the United States has mobilized a large number of troops from Europe, and now, even the territory of Germany is empty, and if the Soviets really want to fight, it can almost be said that they will be able to come over without much effort!
On the sea, the two formations touched each other and separated from each other, a scene that many people will never forget. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The navy of the Soviets also began to grow stronger rapidly! With the commissioning of one aircraft carrier after another, the United States' maritime superiority will eventually disappear! In the confrontation of the Cold War, the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to the United States!
The sky gradually darkened, and the American aircraft carrier formation shrank its formation and turned back into the original array, although the encirclement failed, they also had to continue to confront the aircraft carriers of the Soviets in the Mediterranean, and they could not let the Soviets leave so easily!
And in this process, the Turkish side should be the most depressed, Turkey did not block the Soviet aircraft carrier formation, and now, the masters behind them, did not block either! And in that case, they should not have offended the USSR in the first place! After all, the Soviet Union is a behemoth, and it will be revenge!
Turkey allowed the United States to attack Iraq through their borders, in fact, it had already made the Soviet Union quite unhappy, and now, Turkey is directly in conflict with the Soviet Union, will the Soviets retaliate?
It's destined to be a difficult night!
The scenery is still pleasant, the climate is still suitable, but this night, many people can't sleep.
Three o'clock in the morning.
On the Bosphorus Bridge, the lights are bright, and vehicles are passing on the bridge with their headlights on.
The war of the United States in Iraq requires huge logistical support, and Turkey alone will absolutely not be able to complete the logistical supply task, and the supplies are all transported from Europe, and through the road network, they can be quickly transported to Turkey and to Iraq.
At the same time, in order to achieve victory in the war against Iraq, the United States is also mobilizing new troops, an Italian unit, also from Europe, this is the famous Italian 3rd "Goito" mechanized infantry brigade, stationed in Milan, this time, under the dispatch of the American master, from the Italian mainland.
In front of it was the 4th Tank Battalion "Passalagua", which won the Gold Medal for Courage, and the Leopard I tank with rubber tracks walked directly on the road in the way of off-road marching, followed by M113 armored vehicles.
Battalion commander Benito, riding in a Leopard 1 tank, his body exposed, looking at the sparkling sea in the distance, under the moonlight, the scene here is very beautiful.
It's a pity that the peaceful scene is about to pass, and now they are going to fight in Iraq!
As an army, it is their sacred mission to defend their homeland, and if they are fighting on the soil of Italy, they have an unshirkable duty, but now, they are going to a strange country, the Middle East world that has been rotten! Benito was actually reluctant to do this.
In World War II, the Italian army was actually playing the role of soy sauce, because their enthusiasm for fighting was not high, and now, they don't like to fight even more, but this is not up to them, it is a matter for politicians.
After the end of World War II and the beginning of the Cold War, Italy, as the Western world, had to confront the red countries of the East, and in this process, Italy could only act with NATO. Moreover, as a defeated country, Italy had a very small say in NATO, and now, at the request of the United States, Italy has to send troops and step into the quagmire of the Middle East with the United States.
Thinking of his relatives in Milan, Benito's heart was a little uneasy, his eyes staring vacantly at the sea in the north, and his mood rose and fell with the sea.
Suddenly, his gaze tightened, what was over there?
In the distance, there seems to be a bright spot on the sea! This bright spot, twinkling on the surface of the sea, at the same time, is fast approaching!
What is that? Are you dazzled? Benito rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked back at it, hoping to see the bright spot disappear.
Like, that bright spot is gone, right? Benito's heart relaxed slightly, but then, he became extremely alert, the bright spot was still there, but it had already shifted its position, it was close at hand!
Although the night is very dark, you can see this highlight from the moonlight, which is actually the body of a cruise missile! The engine in its tail is constantly jetting backwards, pushing the missile forward, and at the same time, the short wings on both sides of it are so eye-catching, in appearance, it should be similar to the Tomahawk missile!
It's a pity that all this was thought up in Benito's mind in a split second, because, in the next moment, this missile had already flown under the bridge! Then, a violent explosion resounded throughout the sea and sky!
"Boom!" The landslide and the ground cracks, the earth shakes, the tsunami rolls wildly, and the sea breeze is bleak!
With the explosion, the suspension bridge, which was supported by the pylons on both sides, suddenly broke from the middle, and the bridge body made of concrete was blown into two sections, collapsing from both sides to the middle!
On the bridge deck, the vehicles that were still driving just now are facing a catastrophe! The tank closest to the location of the explosion was destroyed directly in the explosion! And the adjacent vehicles, too late to react, involuntarily slid into the sea on the inclined suspension bridge!
On the bridge deck, there was a mess, and when the explosion passed, the Bosphorus Bridge no longer existed! The entire bridge deck on the sea surface collapsed into the water, and the troops who were still on the bridge just now all fell into the sea, and they struggled inside, hoping to escape.
As for Benito, who witnessed the flying missile, at the moment of the explosion, the tank that followed him flew into the sky together!
It was an unforgettable night for the 3rd Italian Mechanized Infantry Brigade, who struggled in the sea, waiting for the arrival of rescue, they were extremely depressed, and if the rescue was delayed, many of them would not see the sun tomorrow. (To be continued.) )
