Chapter 609: Bosphorus Bridge
"Reina, stop playing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Lieutenant Colonel Chenault shouted over the radio, the soldiers in front of him, all veterans of the Vietnam War, using machine guns to intimidate civilians and find fun, which was a way to vent after the fighting at that time.
For them, these Iraqis simply cannot be seen as human beings.
Kill all those who stand in the way!
"Roger, sir, these people aren't fun." Reyner replied over the radio, he lowered his machine gun, and smelled the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood in the air, a little uneasy.
It's not fun, the game is always played, and it's not interesting.
In this way, the roads were opened up, and the cars in front of them were pushed away and flattened, and the civilians were too frightened to make a sound, watching the American tanks crush their vehicles, and watching their belongings being destroyed in this way.
They are clenching their fists, these Americans, you are not welcome in the Middle Eastern world!
At this moment, suddenly, in the valley in the distance, the roar of the engine sounded, and with the roar, the monster with fangs appeared.
Hind helicopter! The short wings on both sides were covered with anti-tank missiles, and the sides of the hind, painted with drawings of eagles, looked extremely ferocious.
Gunship! This thing is the natural enemy of the ground forces! Seeing the arrival of these helicopter gunships, Lieutenant Colonel Chenoy instantly sensed that trouble was coming.
"Quick, Stinger missile, Stinger missile!" His subordinates are equipped with a certain number of Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, but they are all in the hands of the soldiers who sit in the infantry fighting vehicles in the back, and the tanks in front do not have this thing!
And at the moment when the order was conveyed, the attack of the helicopter gunship had already begun!
Under the short wings of the hind, tongues of fire flew, and an AT-2 anti-tank missile, flew out of the helicopter!
“shit!” Reina scolded, just now he was still a hunter, but in a blink of an eye, he became the prey, and the anti-tank missile was flying towards his tank!
Just after scolding, this missile has already flown over with a sharp roar! From the side of the angular turret, get in!
"Boom!" The M1 tank's advanced fire extinguishing and explosion suppression system did not work, and with the sound of the explosion, the ammunition inside the tank exploded, and the entire turret was blown off!
Half of Reina's body rolled to the side, the corners of his mouth were still crooked, and he seemed to be still scolding.
Get off the road and set up a field formation! Find cover and dodge aerial strikes! The 1st Armored Battalion, which was on the road, only reacted at this time, and they quickly drove away from the road, wanting to confront. It's a pity that the next few Hind helicopters came to shatter their dreams, and one after another anti-tank missiles were fired at them fiercely!
"Air support, we need air support!" Howard, the commander of the armored cavalry regiment, shouted over the radio: "We have an air attack from the Iraqis!" ”
Not only the Hind helicopter, but even the Su-24 attack aircraft have been dispatched, and the entire armored cavalry regiment may be wiped out! At such times, it is necessary to call for help from the Mediterranean! Your fighter planes must arrive as soon as possible!
At this time, Howard had already regretted that he was alone and that he had the audacity to advance by road, but he had no regrets about taking medicine, he had to hold on until the arrival of air support!
On the sea, the blue waves are rippling, and the powerful war machine composed of steel monsters is in full swing to prepare for battle.
On the aircraft carrier Eisenhower, Captain Mark stood on the bridge of the ship, watching the white smoke on the deck, and a Tomcat fighter, with the help of a catapult, quickly took off from the deck and pierced the sky.
In the last sortie, they encountered a formidable opponent, and it was not until the end of the mission that they knew that they were no longer facing the broken Iraqi Air Force, but also the Iranian Air Force, their sworn enemy! The Iranian Air Force actually supported Iraq! This is simply making the Americans itch their teeth, this is a sworn enemy!
There must be Soviets behind the scenes! Perhaps, there are Soviets flying planes on it! It's just that if the Soviets don't say anything, they can only turn a blind eye. Hmph, those latest models of fighters, Su-27s, must have been piloted by the Soviets!
You have encountered a strong enemy, but you will never be afraid! The fourth aircraft carrier battle group is being assembled and is preparing to go to the Red Sea, and after Jordan's refusal to open its airspace, the attack from the Mediterranean Sea has already been detoured, and it is more appropriate to attack from the Red Sea!
While he was pondering, Mark saw his first mate hurrying over with a telegram: "Captain, the Turkish Strait is now in a state of serious confrontation, and the Soviets have dispatched more than thirty warships to gather at the strait bridge!" ”
Turkish Straits! Hearing this, Mark was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect that there would be an accident here! Was the Soviet Union determined to go to war?
The Turkish Strait, also known as the Black Sea Strait, is the only channel connecting the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, including the Bosphorus Strait, the Sea of Marmara and the Dardanelles Strait, this strait is the dividing line between Asia and Europe, and at the same time, it also cuts off the connection between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, so the Turkish Strait is related to the Soviet Union's major strategic initiative! Because the shipbuilding industry of the Soviet Union was mainly concentrated on the Black Sea coast, and moreover, there were countries along the Black Sea coast, all of which had to trade in the Turkish Strait, which can be said to be one of the most important maritime chokepoints in the world and a strategic point in Eurasia.
At the same time, now, the ownership of this strait belongs to Turkey, and Turkey's territory is divided into two parts by this strait, most of which are in Asia, only a small part is in Europe, so, for its own development, Turkey has to invest a lot of money, a new bridge across the strait, this is the famous Bosphorus Bridge, also known as the Eurasian Bridge, built from 68 years to 73 years of traffic, the bridge is 1560 meters long, the suspension bridge is composed of ways, The bridge between the two tower bridges across the water surface of the strait is 1,074 meters long, 33 meters wide, and 64 meters above the sea. It is the largest cable suspension bridge in Europe and Asia and the fourth largest in the world.
At the same time, it is also convenient to transport goods from Europe to Asia, which used to be required by ship, but now, it is possible to transport them directly by road! Especially now, the US army is attacking Iraq from Turkey, and the transportation of logistics and other equipment also mainly relies on this bridge!
At such a time, the Soviets are making trouble here, apparently with a purpose!
Put pressure on the local chickens and give the United States a black hand! (To be continued.) )
