Chapter 568: Attack on Saudi Arabia

"Hammurabi Division, attack!" Ali's voice resounded in the empty desert, and there was incomparable anger in his words. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Just now, the president's voice ended with an explosion, although he didn't know what was happening, he also had a faint premonition, at this time, his own troops, what should they do? Of course, rush in and take revenge on Baghdad with practical actions!

Offensive!

The engine of the T-72 tank rumbled, the tracks rolled up dust, and the rolling torrent of armor was already in motion!

At this time, it was just early in the morning.

In the night sky, countless stars are dotted, and the moonlight is quiet, sprinkled into the desert, and the whole desert seems to be covered with a thin veil.

"Attention, turn off the infrared headlights." Ali's voice rang over the radio again.

Tank night battles need to rely on some special means, and in this era, the main thing is to rely on infrared headlights! And Ali's understanding of infrared headlights is also quite in-depth, this thing, it is better to have it!

Especially like now, relying on the moonlight, you can see the situation dozens of meters ahead, as long as you ensure that the tanks do not collide with each other! Anyway, there are deserts everywhere, just follow the general direction! And if you turn on the infrared headlights, although you can see the situation five or six hundred meters away, it also means that you will expose the target! In the opponent's red sighting system, the infrared headlights are a fairly powerful marker, guiding the launch of the enemy's shells.

So, just like now, racing in the desert in the dark, the other party can't find himself at all! Just knock out the army on the border line in front!

Originally, the borders between Middle Eastern countries were all blurred, surrounded by deserts, and a boundary monument was erected, which was soon covered by the desert, and the outposts were set up here, and the environment was not generally difficult, but now, with the intensification of contradictions between them, Saudi Arabia still deployed some troops on the border, for example, on the opposite side of this side, there is about a battalion of troops!

At this moment, overhead, countless rockets flew by, and the trailing tail flame drew a shining light in the sky.

At the same time as the armored division started, the divisional artillery in the rear opened fire! BM21 40-barreled 122mm rocket launcher, fired from the rear, aimed at the Saudi border guards!

Soon, there was an explosion in front, and the 122mm MLRS completely ploughed the camp opposite!

These armored divisions of the Republican Guard are equipped according to the establishment of the Soviet army, and the Soviet army, which has always advocated artillery, has an incomparably powerful artillery formation!

Tank tracks run over the border, the border troops of the Saudis, have completely disappeared, the door of Saudi Arabia, completely open!

In fact, if it had been attacked, it would have been fought a long time ago, but President Saddam Hussein has always had a tolerant heart and was unwilling to go to war with Saudi Arabia, but now, Saudi Arabia has led the influence of the Americans to the Middle East!

The tank continues to soar in the desert, and ahead, the endless desert continues!

In the rear of Hammurabi's division, the rest of the army was also preparing to attack.

"Iraqi invading forces were found to have crossed the border area." Over the desert, an E-3 early warning aircraft is flying, since the start of the war, the E-3 early warning aircraft has been on patrol, although it is night, it is also necessary to prevent a sneak attack by the Iraqi Air Force, and at the same time, several Nighthawks of their own attack also need to provide certain early warning information.

And now, the AWACS aircraft did not detect the situation in the sky, on the contrary, the convoy on the ground, but attracted the attention of the AWACS aircraft.

The E-3 AWACS aircraft can not only deal with the target situation in the sky, but also deal with the situation on the ground.

By radio, the information was quickly sent to the base camp in the rear, the Prince Sultan Air Base, which was already home to the newly formed U.S. Middle East Command.

William James Crow Jr., who was in charge of the war throughout the Middle East, graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy at the age of 46. After that, he was promoted to the post of director of the East Asia and Pacific Regional Office of the Department of Defense in '73 and commander of the U.S. forces in the Middle East in Bahrain in '76. He was promoted to lieutenant general in '77 and was appointed commander-in-chief of the U.S. Navy in Europe and commander-in-chief of the allied forces in South Africa in '80. Historically, he would have been the commander-in-chief of the Pacific Headquarters in '83. But now, the situation in the Middle East has deteriorated instantly, and as a former commander of the Middle East, he is quite familiar with this place, so he was appointed commander-in-chief of the US Middle East Command.

The deputy who partnered with William Jr. was the young black general Colin Luther Powell, who rose to a high position step by step by virtue of his own ability, and in history, he relied on honesty and hard work to become the first black general in the United States, the first chairman of the Black Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the first black Secretary of State.

In the sixties, Powell was twice sent to Vietnam to fight in the war. After returning from the battlefield in Vietnam in '69, he entered George Washington University to study, and then to the Office of the Deputy Assistant Chief of Staff at the Pentagon. After that, he successively served as the commander of the U.S. Army Group in South Korea, the commander of the 2nd Brigade of the 101st Airborne Division, the commander of the 5th Regiment of the U.S. Army in Germany, the senior military assistant to the U.S. deputy secretary of defense, and the senior military assistant to the secretary of defense. And now, as a Vietnam veteran, he has been sent to the battlefield in Saudi Arabia to save the emergency.

The results of the attack of the F-117A stealth aircraft have not yet appeared, and now, the Iraqi army has invaded in a big way!

"Immediately mobilize the 1st Cavalry Division, the 101st Air Assault Division, plug the gap, and don't let the Iraqis come over!" Hearing this, William Jr. immediately said.

What are they afraid of? What I am most afraid of is that the Iraqi soldiers will come and kill them in stink! It is precisely because of this that it is necessary to quickly launch air strikes, hoping to destroy the will of the Iraqis to resist as soon as possible, but now, the Iraqi army has still killed it!

"No, the Iraqis are now in full swing and in large numbers, and once they are scattered in the desert, we will not be able to clean up." Powell said: "I think it would be better to let the Iraqis come, which is thousands of kilometers from the Kuwaiti border to Riyadh." The Iraqi tanks, before dawn, at most, advanced to the Dakhna Desert, and just within the strike radius of our bases, our A-10 attack planes and helicopter gunships will let the Iraqis know that no matter how powerful the armor of the Soviets is, it is not as good as our air-ground battle, and here, we are waiting for work, and the Iraqi air force is not so easy to break through our defensive line. ”

Let the Iraqis in, in the Saudi desert, and use air power to kill these Iraqi tank forces! (To be continued.) )
