The skies of the Middle East have temporarily lost Rick's figure, but the battle continues, and almost dramatically.

After the missile attack in Dhahran, the US military concentrated journalists in the press center of the headquarters and carried out news control on the grounds of security. Of course, this kind of rhetoric will not be shared by journalists, who know that the US government does not want them to report negative news, but for the free Western world, there is no secret.

As a result, the reporters learned from various sources about the annihilation of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment of the 18th Airborne Army, the defeat of the 7th Armored Brigade of the British 1st Armored Division, and the seemingly large-scale offensive operation, and the American spokesman's triumphant attempt to resolve the battle within one day, all of which did not materialize, and this American-led "Operation Desert Sabre" became a complete laughing stock.

However, what none of them expected was that in the end, the coalition forces launched this large-scale ground offensive with great fanfare, but retreated to the place of departure and did not occupy the whole of Kuwait as they wished.

The vanguard of the 101st Air Assault Division also withdrew from the fierce fighting, just like when they withdrew their troops from Vietnam.

This war, a war led by the United States, a joint operation of air-ground integration led by Admiral Norman Schwarzkopf, advocated high-tech modern operations, and vainly tried to use the technological superiority of the United States to reduce casualties and enhance the combat capability of the American army.

April 7, the third day of Operation Sabre in the Desert, at 3 a.m.

Saudi Arabia, U.S. Gulf Central Command.

"Supplies are being delivered and are expected to arrive in half an hour."

"The E-3 AWACS aircraft has been flying continuously for twenty-three hours, and the next AWACS aircraft must be ready to take off."

"Call the Bumblebee squadron. Prepare for a new round of ground attacks. ”

Countless computers, shiny screens, and people in the back are working intensely.

A big battle, which seems to be a brave battle of the front-line personnel, is actually just as tense in the rear, the movement of the army. The replenishment of supplies and the adjustment of various pre-formulated operational plans require the rear to constantly adjust the plans and notify the front-line troops.

The United States emphasizes air-ground integration and achieves battlefield information sharing through various methods such as data links, while the United States' strong command system allows the supreme commander to directly command a soldier on the front line across multiple layers of organization.

However, this disadvantage is also obvious. It's an absolute dependence on the network system!

An operator's fingers twitched on the keyboard, making sure that one of his armored battalions was advancing, and that by dawn tomorrow morning, he would be in the northern Kuwaiti city of Jahra to fight the armored forces of Iraq's Babylonian Division that remained there! Be sure to defeat them quickly!

Your own command system can be deduced, which is also an important task of the command here.

At this moment, the computer screen in front of me. Suddenly it turned into snowflakes.

"What's going on?" He stood up for this moment. He thought he was staring at the screen for too long, causing him to be dazzled.

But then, more people shouted, "What's going on? ”

Everyone's computer screens have turned into snowflakes.

At this time, the computer system was not yet the window of later generations, that is, the Windows system. In order to ensure security, many machines are UNIX systems, and the interface is only white letters under black shading.

Now, this computer screen has turned into a snowflake, and it's not because of a broken screen. It's because there is too much data jumping on it! It can't be refreshed, so it's snowflake!

"Hacking! Quick, call the cyber security team! One of the technicians reacted and immediately shouted loudly.

A few minutes later, the cyber security personnel in their pajamas came over and were stunned when they saw this scene, this was a large-scale cyber attack! The recovery of the system is not something that can be completed in a short time.

"Quick, unplug the external fiber and restore the system!" One man shouted.

"But then, our system won't work!" Unplugging the optical fiber, it is cut off from the outside, and here is the brain of the entire coalition army!

"Keep it open, we can't use it either! And if they start formatting our hard drive, we won't be able to recover it! A technician shouted, quickly unplugging the optical fiber from the nearby cabinet.

The screens of each computer are still flashing rapidly, and the virus has run into every computer in the system, and, just now, through the main node of the headquarters here, it is frantically spreading to the network system of the entire coalition army.

"Early Warning No. 3, request the target's attack location." In the skies over Iraq, a pilot flying an F-16 fighter, seeing that his data link could not be used, began to communicate with voice, and without the command of the AWACS aircraft, they became blind.

In the headphones, there is a loud sound, and there seem to be a lot of voices in it. He didn't know that at this time, the AWACS aircraft was also busy.

The power of these viruses actually spread to the AWACS aircraft through the network system!

As a result of the sudden hacker attack, the command system of the United States has been seriously disrupted.

Just before the start of the war, the United States used the virus in the printers that were previously exported to Iraq to completely paralyze Iraq's air defense system, and now, the Americans have tasted the same, their command system, the whole mess!

And just when the US military was in a hurry, the specific positions of each army on the entire battlefield were intertwined, and the specific positions of each army had been exposed by this hacker attack. Iraq will not let go of this opportunity, they have carried out a furious missile sea attack on the coalition forces!

Fifty mobile missile launchers, all of which were dispatched, fired more than 100 Scud and Hussein missiles in one go, and then quickly withdrew from their positions.

This stick hit down, directly hit the coalition forces, especially the high-precision position, except for the more than 20 missiles, the rest of the more than 80, all fell on the heads of the Americans, the most terrible thing is that these missiles, equipped with cluster warheads, after exploding in the sky above the target, cluster bombs scattered a large area, so that the Americans even retreat are full of death threat.

Angry Admiral Norman Schwarzkopf is still in the command ranting what is going on, are the Iraqis crazy!

As soon as the missiles were fired, an Iraqi army of 50,000 people, 300 tanks, 500 infantry fighting vehicles, 40 Wuzhi, and 100 self-propelled artillery guns, under the cover of 40 fighters of the Air Force, took the initiative to launch a large-scale ground offensive against the coalition forces!

This unit is equipped with world-class equipment, including Soviet-made T80UM tanks, BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicles, Mi-24 Wuzhi and BM-21 "Hail" rocket launchers, Pakistani-made Type 90 tanks, "Leopard" 8X8 wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, and South African GC-45 155mm guns. The personnel are all composed of key cadres selected from the veterans of the Republican Guard, such as "Hammurabi" and "Babylon", who participated in the eight-year Iran-Iraq war, and each of them has a high level of Chinese proficiency and can skillfully use these advanced weapons and equipment, which can be called the flower of the Iraqi army! And the most terrifying thing is that the commander of this force is Lieutenant General Nouha Mohammed al-Shehri.

Nuha Mohammed Shehri had studied in many military academies in the West and the Soviet Union, and it is said that he had a teacher-student relationship with Marshal Ogarkov of the Soviet Union when he studied at the Frunze Military Academy, and the two had a common view on the future of high-tech warfare and the development and construction of a high-tech army, and the two were rare confidants and friends. Although Noah's family has been in-law with Saddam's family for generations, Nuha himself is Lao Sa's cousin, and he is also highly regarded by Saddam, serving as a division commander in the most elite Republican Guard "Hammurabi" division. However, because of his advocacy of the idea of building an efficient and high-tech army, he was hated and ostracized by the top brass like his teacher, Marshal Ogarkov, and was soon transferred from the front-line troops, worked as a cold bench in the logistics department, and watched his country's army clumsily fight an eight-year war with an equally clumsy enemy with modern weapons, which was only on the level of World War I. Historically, this person served as the commander of the Baghdad Military Region in the 2003 Iraq War, and finally committed suicide in anger under the general trend of "having the intention to kill the enemy and being powerless to return to heaven", and was respectfully called "the last Iraqi soldier" by the US military.

A man who is respected by a powerful enemy is undoubtedly a terrible man, and in this plane, because of the wings of the old butterfly Mhammad, Nooha was able to come out of the mountains again. Ironically, with the covert support of Mahmad and the acquiescence of the Soviet Union, the Iraqi army has acquired a large amount of advanced weaponry through smuggling channels and some black market channels. However, Saddam Hussein suddenly discovered a problem, that is, his military commanders did not have the ability to organize, coordinate, and command an army equipped with high-tech weapons, so Saddam Hussein, who chose the tallest one among the short, suddenly promoted this general, who had been refrigerated for a long time.

Knowing that the enemy was extremely powerful, Nuha asked his cousin for the right to choose the personnel and equipment of the troops, and no troops or individuals could refuse. And with the acquiescence of Lao Sa, a joint command center for the ground and air was established, and any army in Iraq had to obey the orders of the center.

Nuha did not disappoint Saddam Hussein in the end, although the United States has the superiority of the air force, but under the ravages of the virus, the United States' air-ground integration combat plan has completely failed, the US Army wants to call for air support, and there is no channel, in the face of the surging Iraqi armor torrent, the Americans can only choose to retreat.

Even the troops that invaded Kuwait began to retreat, and without heavy weapons and air support, their street fighting would be more brutal, which would lead to a large number of casualties. (To be continued.) )
