The new year has finally arrived, and when the sun shines on the blue Persian Gulf, it is still a calm scene. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info{{}}

It's the Gregorian New Year, and most of the regions are shrouded in the atmosphere of the festival, and most of the ships that dock will not choose to sail on this day, except for the ships that are still sailing at sea.

Therefore, the two freighters departing from the port of Khomeini chose to set sail on this morning, which only made the morning trainers a little curious, and did not alarm the others.

These two freighters, all of which are container ships, are still relatively empty on the deck at this time, except for some things built up with rainproof tarpaulin, if someone looks closely, there seems to be a strange thing on both sides.

Qusay quickly approved the battle plan drawn up by the Ministry of Defense, this time the plan was relatively well formulated, the air force and navy jointly operated, and the two special forces of the Marine Corps and the Airborne Forces acted together to attack the hundreds of defenders on the island who had long lost their fighting spirit, with little effort, so Qusay only put forward a new requirement for them: zero casualties. {{}}

How to win this battle beautifully, how to avoid losses, this is the highest level of war.

This battle should be regarded as a drill for more landing operations in the future.

At the same time, the battle also exposed some shortcomings in Iraq, which had not landed effective warships, and actually relied on civilian ships to support them.

So, Qusay is already planning to buy some modern landing ships, in the impression of later generations. Hovercraft are a good tool, it seems that the USSR is already developing a Caspian monster, right?

On the deck of the ship, Hades was quietly looking at the scenery on both sides of the strait, and his feeling for this operation was that he was still very dissatisfied!

It is enough to use your own marines. Why do you have to use the Airborne Forces? Now they have sixty Desert Leopard 8x8 infantry fighting vehicles, as well as twelve Mi-24 helicopters. With these forces, it is enough to wipe out those large and small Tongbu Islands and Geshm Islands, and the Air Force fighters do not need to be dispatched at all. {{}} If you also want to use a guided bomb, how much does that calf cost? A laser-guided bomb is also expensive! They went up and it was solved with a few shots.

When the air force is finished, and the naval guns are also fired, they will go up, I'm afraid they will all be in ruins, even if they go up, what's the point?

Ever since the formation of the Marine Corps, Hades has been hungry for a tough fight that will keep them entertained. However, it backfired, and by this time, the large-scale battle against the Persians had ended. They don't have any hard bones to eat, they had a good time in Syria last time, but, at that level, Hades dismisses it, it's not a fight at all.

And this time. What's even more depressing is that due to the special xing of the airborne troops, if they land on the big and small Tongbu islands, they may be blown into the sea by the wind, so their target is Gesham Island.

And the Marine Corps needs to occupy the big and small Tongbu islands, which consumes forty desert leopards and six Mi-24 helicopters, that is, he has less than half of his troops, and he goes to land on Gesham Island, which is simply too bullying, and he is even looking forward to the transport plane of the Airborne Forces, because it is out of order and cannot take off, so that he can take Geshm Island in a bright and bright way, although taking the island will not let him have any satisfaction. {{}}

Therefore, in this operation, Hades was very angry, as for this equipment, he no longer complained about anything, their Marine Corps, the president has already attached great importance to it, when the desert leopard was successfully developed, the first batch of troops was equipped with them, which has satisfied him.

Land tigers, water dragons, this is their marines!

In the rear, Iraq's air force units are also making final preparations.

Since there is no need to face the air threat of the other side now, the main air superiority fighter of the Iraqi Air Force, the Mirage 4000, has only prepared two, carrying Iraq's self-produced sky flash and R-73 combat missiles, and the combat effectiveness has been greatly increased, each fighter, four sky flash, two R-73, even in the face of two squadrons of enemy aircraft, can fully meet the enemy.

The rest, that is, four squadrons of F-20 fighters, two squadrons of fighters, mounted with laser-guided bombs, two squadrons of fighters mounted with Maverick missiles, used to attack the opponent's important targets, including shore fortifications, barracks, air defense positions and other places, in last night, the MiG-25R reconnaissance plane swept over the target for the last time, photographed all the attack targets again, and assigned attack targets to their own fighters. {{}}

After the Mirage 4000 took on the task of Iraq's air defense, the pilots of the F-20 fighters increasingly carried out ground attack missions, and they have long been comfortable with such tasks.

Now they are using the Paveway laser-guided bombs imported from the United States, but now Iraq is cooperating with Sweden's military industry, the components of this laser-guided bomb, after the research and development is completed, will be produced in Iraq, and a large number of unguided bombs in Iraq will be changed to guided bombs, and after Iraq invests money to support the Soviet Union's global positioning system, it will also install this kind of receiver on its own bombs, which is cheaper and has a high degree of precision. And don't worry about the impact of clouds and fog on the laser.

Flight team leader Adnan, the on-site commander of this flight mission, communicated with the ground crew at the scene and strode onto his landline.

They are brave Iraqi pilots, they are eagles in the skies of the Middle East!

At the time when preparations were being made before take-off at the Basra Air Base, at the H-3 Air Base in the north, 21 Il-76 transport planes were also making final preparations before take-off, and they would transport 50 paratrooper fighting vehicles and two paratrooper battalions, about 1,400 people, of the airborne regiment to the airspace over Qeshm Island. {{}}

Each of them is checking their umbrellas, for a paratrooper, falling from the sky, is very spectacular, but also very dangerous, they this time, the biggest problem, is to protect themselves, can not have a casualty, you know, even in the usual training, it is difficult to ensure that there is an unlucky egg hanging himself on a tree or something like that.

How big of a battle will break out on the island? I'm afraid that with only paratrooper knives, they will be able to solve the battle.

President Qusay attaches great importance to strategic transport forces, so Iraq's transport aircraft fleet is rapidly expanding, and they are mainly equipped with the Il-76 transport planes imported from the Soviet Union.

In addition to the air force, on the sea, outside the Gulf of Oman, four Iraqi Heden-class frigates are also rushing from outside the Gulf of Oman to the Strait of Hormuz, they conducted an exercise at sea at the end of December last year, and as a result, on the first day of 1986, they also crossed the sea.

Of course, all this was planned in advance, if at such a time, they left the port en masse, they would definitely be found to be abnormal by the outside world and receive attention, and the return was different, they returned now, it can only be considered that they want to return to the base in a hurry, no one will know, at this time, their warship has been loaded with live ammunition.

Their main weapon this time was the 'Otto-Breeda' 127mm naval gun in the bow of the ship. The single-barreled naval gun developed by the Merara company is used as a dual-purpose main gun for destroyers and frigates to deal with aircraft, missiles, attack ships and bombardment of land targets.

In World War I, naval guns were the main weapons on warships, and the power of all the naval guns on battleships when they were in unison amazed countless people, but in World War II, the rise of aircraft carriers sent battleships to the grave.

After that, the naval guns with a caliber of several hundred millimeters were almost extinct, and the caliber of the naval guns became smaller and smaller, and then, the appearance of anti-ship missiles made the naval guns seem to have completely abdicated and had no effect.

However, although naval artillery will not be useful in anti-ship operations, it is still useful in other aspects, for example, when facing pirates, facing small boats driven by terrorists, it is absolutely inappropriate to use anti-ship missiles, at this time, only one shell is needed to deal with them.

Another use of naval guns, which has not changed, is to attack targets on the opposite shore.

The naval guns equipped on the Heddon-class frigates have a maximum range of 23,680 meters, which is enough to destroy coastal targets with saturated firepower, which is definitely a low-cost weapon.

Iraq has mobilized nearly 10,000 troops of the navy, army, and air force for this landing operation, and this time, we must use a beautiful operation to make a good start to the new year!

There were no wind and waves on the sea, only the sun-drenched sea, sparkling, and on the mast of the leading Heden, the flag of Iraq fluttered.

In Baghdad, Qusay has been in the command center of the Ministry of Defense, and through the C3I system, he will be able to visually see the situation on the ground.

"Operation Gulf Peace, officially begun." Qusay said.

The operation was code-named Peace in the Gulf, and it was an operation to maintain peace in the entire Gulf.

With Qusay's orders, a powerful military operation in Iraq, began.

The first to take off were the Iraqi Air Force F-20 fighters, who took off from Basra airbase, formed a formation over the Shatt al-Arab, and then flew from the Persian Gulf to the target at an ultra-low altitude.

At this time, the freighter and the warship had already sailed to a distance of about fifty nautical miles from the target.

Your support is my biggest motivation. )
