On the morning of the month, the main forces of the 1st Combat Unit occupied Baskir between Malatya and Eraze, and Sifrij to the south of Erazec, and the deployment for attacking Malatya was basically in place. 【Reading.com】

Judging by this deployment, the main force is the 1st Combat Unit, and not the 10th Combat Unit, which previously performed outstandingly.

This is a reasonable arrangement. Because Siverek could not be captured, when attacking Malatya, it was necessary to fully consider the issue of logistics support, and it was necessary to let the vertical take-off and landing transport group of the 10th combat unit take on the heavy responsibility of transporting combat materials. Under the influence of the Taurus Mountains, when attacking Malatya, the main force could only attack from the south to the north, and it was difficult to carry out a large-scale roundabout. In this way, the 1st combat unit, which is more adept at ground attack, can be used to fight the main force in the south, and the 10th combat unit, which is good at air mobility, to be responsible for the outer encirclement, so that the two combat units can be used most effectively and the Malatya can be defeated at the minimum cost.

By this time, American reinforcements had already arrived in Malatya.

The problem arose on the night of Occupy when the Sixth Combat Brigade, which had previously been rescuing the Hwanmin in Nizip, began to move westward. The posture of reinforcing the 8th Combat Unit was assumed, and in the evening of the same day, the strategic transport aircraft group of the Republic Air Force airdropped about the exchange of war supplies to Bakhce. All indications show that Pei Chengyi will not let the Eighth Combat Unit and the Fifth Combat Unit break through, but will also take this opportunity to relieve the Eighth Combat Unit, and may even break the siege for the Fifth Combat Unit. That is, the republican ** team will simultaneously carry out large-scale offensive combat operations in two directions. The problem is that in the face of this situation, there is little that Duchway can do. Although Duchway was shocked that the 6th Combat Unit had not been incapacitated by the flood, whether or not he could hold Malatya was Dudgway's main concern. Unable to stop the 6th Combat Unit from attacking Bakhce, Duchway had no choice but to let the U.S. and Turkish forces hold on to Malatya. In other words, if the 6th Combat Unit fails to hold Malatya after the siege of Bahce is relieved, the US-Turkish forces will completely lose the war.

In this case, Dudgway had no choice. Only the American-Turkish forces of Siverek could break through to Malatya.

Of course, the breakout operation must be prepared.

Because before that, Duchway's order was to defend Siverek, so after he changed his order, the Old Assault Division, the 2nd Infantry Division, and the 1st Old Infantry Division were not able to take immediate action, and it was not until the morning of the old day, after the attacking units of the 1st and 10th Combat Units were deployed in place, that they left Siverek and broke through in the direction of Malatya.

There is no doubt that the breakout operation of the US military was carried out very hard.

For the US military, the biggest enemy is not the Iraqi army on the position, but the long-range artillery of the Republican Army, which is hundreds of kilometers away and cannot be seen at all.

Because he was not very relieved about the Iraqi Defense Forces, Yuan Chenhao asked the first combat unit to leave a reconnaissance battalion when adjusting the deployment, which was specifically responsible for providing artillery guidance for long-range artillery. More importantly, Yuan Chenhao clearly warned several commanders of the Iraqi Defense Forces not to underestimate the combat effectiveness of the US military, let alone to be reckless. In other words, the best option for the Iraqi army when encountering the US military is to call in artillery support. Because the main forces of the 1st combat unit were already deployed in place, artillery support was no longer needed. Therefore, when the US army broke through, the artillery brigade of the 1st combat unit was immediately put into battle, and all of them were put into battle.

By the afternoon of the same day, the artillery brigade of the 10th combat unit was also put into battle.

It was not that the artillery brigade of the 1st combat unit was not enough, but that the ammunition of Van ran out in one morning and had to be brought to the battle by the artillery brigade of the 10th combat unit.

As the night progressed, the fighting intensified. Even the Air Force of the Republic sent combat aircraft.

At this time, the main forces of the 1st and 10th combat units also received orders. Regardless of whether or not Siverek's American forces can break through or not, the 1st Combat Unit and the 10th Combat Unit will attack before dawn, depending on which direction they will attack.

There is no doubt that the decisive battle will break out at night from the old days to the mouth.

Because the combat mission had already been assigned to the participating units, what Pei Chengyi had to do was just to wait patiently for the combat reports of the various units.

It can be said that on this absolutely unquiet night, Pei Chengyi is the calmest person. The new address of this site has been changed to summer: Sishan Cave plus 8 four, please log in to read

About the time of Baghdad, Pei Chengyi received the first news from the front, that is, on the southern front, the combat operation of attacking Sheheba under the personal command of Su Jinhui has been deployed, and the offensive will officially start in minutes.

The operation on the southern front was not only to contain the US military, but also to signal the beginning of the decisive operation.

The communications staff officer in charge of delivering the information waited for about a minute, and only after confirming that Pei Chengyi had not adjusted the plan did he ask Dongfang Wen's opinion. Then came the signal for the start of the campaign.

The group of bombers, which had been patrolling the northwestern part of the Republic, was the first to receive the order.

After that operation at the beginning of the war, the performance of the strategic aviation of the Air Force of the Republic was not very impressive. Although in the old multi-day fighting, bomber groups were dispatched several times, carried out about 40 percent of strategic strike missions, and destroyed thousands of military targets and strategic facilities,... Xiao Xun Shen's ammunition sect became about the second time of the interdiction bombing mission, in the weeping field battle. Ding played a very important role, but with previous wars. In particular, compared with the war in India, the performance of the strategic aviation of the Republic Air Force was indeed unsatisfactory.

The reason for this is because they have encountered a stronger opponent.

At the tactical level, in the event of an engagement with a world-class army, the republican Air Force must take into account the threat posed by the adversary's air superiority. You must know that until the war has been fought, the air force of the Republic has not won absolute air supremacy, and has not even been able to defeat the opponent. Because strategic bombers are deployed at domestic air bases, even with the use of long-range air-launched cruise missiles, after the bombers take off. It will also take several hours to reach the battlefield, and the US military has enough time to adjust its air defense deployment. It was even able to organize an interception force, so when using strategic aviation, the Air Force of the Republic was very cautious, and in addition to prohibiting bombers from approaching the theater of operations, it also frequently adjusted the airspace for missile launches, as well as the flight routes of bomber groups. Be that as it may, in previous battles. Several times the bomber group brushed shoulders with danger. If it weren't for the excessive investment of tactical aviation in air supremacy. I'm afraid that the Air Force has long since grounded the strategic bomber group.

At the strategic level, strictly limiting the range of activity of strategic bombers is one of the necessary means to prevent the expansion of the scale of the war. Anyway. Strategic bombers are one of the main strategic strike forces of a country and the main object of surveillance by opponents. Even in peacetime, both sides of the Cold War kept a high level of surveillance of each other's strategic bomber groups. It even provides a unique number for each of the opposing strategic bombers, and arranges special personnel to be in charge. That is, there are few secrets about the movement and activity of strategic bomber groups. In war, even if a strategic bomber is allowed to carry out a conventional combat mission with conventional ammunition, it can make the intelligence agencies and strategic defense agencies of the opposing side feel terrified. It can even be said that every take-off and landing of strategic bombers can cause unnecessary concern. Exactly. The US authorities have also imposed extremely strict restrictions on the range of use of strategic bombers.

Of course, the use of strategic aviation, there are also advantages to the use of strategic aviation.

As a strategic force, not only is its ordinary activities strictly secret, but it also often carries out some secret missions. Coupled with the peculiarities of strategic bombing tactics, the officers and men of the Strategic Aviation Forces rarely cared about the tasks they performed and did not have much curiosity. In their opinion, no matter what task is performed. All they have to do is to fly the bomber to a specific airspace and shoot the ammunition they carry according to the specific instructions.

Because the attack program is transmitted entirely through the tactical data network, and what exactly targets to attack are determined by the attack program, the pilots of the strategic aviation forces do not even care much about who they are trying to hit. Sometimes it's not even necessary to know who needs to be hit.

In the words of some bomber pilots, with the advancement of technology, especially the advancement of automated control systems based on military information networks, the main task of bomber pilots is not to fly bombers. Nor is it to throw ammunition, but to act as a "backup" for the bomber's automatic flight with combat systems. That is, in the event of a failure of the automatic control system. Ensure that the bombing mission is completed accurately. Because bombing commands are stored in a computer that is not integrated into the military information network, after the automatic control system collapses, the pilot only needs to connect that computer to the bomber's backup information interface and set it to closed-circuit control. If none of this worked, the pilot would end the combat operation, fly the bomber back to base, or eject at a suitable location to escape.

All in all, the bomber pilot was more often a "watcher" than a "participant" in the war. ”

This was the case with this bombing campaign, and the hundreds of pilots on dozens of bombers had no idea what target they were going to hit. It is not even clear what ammunition is carried in the bay. The new address of this site has been changed to summer: Sishan Cave plus 8 four, please log in to read

After the group arrived at the airspace where the missiles were fired, the military information network gave the signal of an attack. Because no sane person would hand over a weapon capable of destroying the entire human race to a cold, logically controlled computer with rudimentary intelligence, before launching a missile. The attack command needs to be confirmed by the pilot on the bomber. And the pilot himself opens the mechanical lock that controls the launch channel. Because it was not a strategic bombing mission, the bombing command for the bombing was in the hands of the captain alone. When carrying out a strategic bombing mission, the captain and the co-pilot must give instructions at the same time. In order to prevent a mentally disturbed captain or co-pilot from firing several missiles with nuclear warheads, two mechanical locks are located on either side of the cockpit. No one can activate two locks at the same time alone.

Under the control of the military information network, the number of bombers divided into several groups fired the long-range missiles they carried one after another.

Although these bombers were not in one place. Missiles were also not fired at the same time, the whole operation looked irregular, and the pilots on the bombers did not know what was going on with the other bombers. However, judging from the overall battle situation, the actions of dozens of bombers were regular, that is, the time and airspace of all bombers firing missiles were carefully arranged to ensure that all bombers arrived at the same place within minutes and attacked the same targets.

There is no doubt that this tactic will be used only when dealing with time-sensitive targets with strong self-defense capabilities.

It is undeniable that dispatching dozens of bombers is definitely not a matter of fact. When the bombing plane took off from its air base, the Mokouzhen strategic alert satellite raised an alarm, and the US intelligence system was immediately fully operational. It took only a few minutes for the Defense Security Intelligence Agency and other intelligence agencies to assess the operations of the strategic aviation of the Republic Air Force. It is assumed that the bombers carrying long-range air-launched cruise missiles will fly to the war zone, launch missiles over Iran or Pakistan, as they have done in the past, and then return to the air base.

In other words, the US military did not expect that the target of those bombers would be its naval fleet.

It's not hard to see why. If the republic were going to deal with the American fleet, it would have done it a long time ago and would not have dragged it out until this time.

What's more. Missiles used against the fleet are almost indistinguishable from missiles used against ground targets.

If in the past. Only specialized anti-ship missiles can be used against the fleet, while cruise missiles for attacking ground targets pose little threat to the fleet. The reason is simple, cruise missiles against ground targets mainly hit stationary targets, and rarely against mobile targets, while the fleet belongs to mobile targets, so it is necessary to equip the fleet with a corresponding guidance system. In the early century, with the advent of the forced electromagnetic interference system, the degree of missiles became faster and faster, and the guidance method at the end of the attack became more and more simple. Because the forced electromagnetic interference system can cause a devastating blow to all open electronic systems, many new anti-ship missiles use closed-circuit guidance for the terminal trajectory. As a result, there is no longer a noticeable difference between anti-ship missiles and land-attack cruise missiles.

To put it simply, the same missile only needs to input different attack commands and attack programs to attack different targets.

In the first few days of the war, the U.S. Navy was still wary. Whenever the strategic bombers of the Republic Air Force take off and fly to the front line, the US fleet will arrange more air defense fighters to expand the air defense search range, or at least bring the air defense warships to the highest alert. After the game of "the wolf came" was played several times, the vigilance of the American fleet was also relaxed a lot. After receiving the news from the Home Air Defense Command, the two U.S. fleets operating in the Red Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean only symbolically put the standby air defense fighters parked on the flight deck on alert. And did not raise the level of air defense alert. The air defense warship was not even allowed to activate the anti-aircraft search radar, and the AWACS aircraft continued to perform the task of air defense alert.

Of course, the American fleet was not negligent.

It didn't take long for a strategic reconnaissance satellite in geosynchronous orbit operating over the equator at east longitude to appear in the skies over Iran. After cross-comparison, the central computer judged these flashes to be the strong infrared radiation emitted by the engine when the missile was separated from the bomber and the engine was working in rocket mode, because the missile would be added to more than Mach 4 in a few seconds, so the strategic reconnaissance satellite could not continue to track. Of course, this was enough to reassure the commanders of the US Navy fleet, because these flashes showed that the missiles fired by those bombers could not pose a threat to them at all. The reason is simple: the US fleet, operating in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Red Sea, is outside the range of missile strikes, and there is no need to worry about a sudden strike.

Besides, the location of the missile has been exposed, and there is no suddenness to speak of.

It was in this way that the American fleet at this time brought the fighters that had previously been urgently lifted into the air back to the aircraft carrier.

According to the estimates of US intelligence agencies, the Republic Air Force dispatched strategic bombers to help the Republican ** team on the Northern Front to launch a general offensive.

In fact, it is. Because just as the bombers were firing missiles, hundreds of tactical fighter jets were firing thousands of cruise missiles at targets hundreds of kilometers away over the northwestern region of Iran, and all of them were high-pitched cruise missiles that cruised past the old Mach.

What's more. Prior to this, that is, in the area where the US reconnaissance satellites were now flashing, there were no strategic bombers of the Republic at all, and those so-called missile flashes were actually sounding rockets launched by the Iranian army, and they were specially improved sounding rockets. The Iranian servicemen on this particular mission could not understand why the rockets, which were supposed to plunge directly into the night sky, suddenly turned around after rising to an altitude of thousands of kilometers. They also have no way of figuring it out. Because just after they fired the rockets, a military police unit controlled by Iranian intelligence put them in trucks and took them to a secret military base in the desert of Lute. It was not until about half a year after the end of the war that the Iranian soldiers returned to their loved ones.

As for the specific locations where the bombers launched their missiles, even the pilots who carried out the mission

Road.

Although in the combat records of the Republic Air Force, the mission of these bombers was to strike at the defensive positions of the US troops in Malatya, everyone knows that the thugs fired by these bombers were like multiple missiles, and none of them landed in Malatya, and none of them even flew to Malatya.

In about a few minutes, the U.S. fleet in the eastern Mediterranean or operating in the Red Sea would be devastated.

Of course, this is just the beginning.
