Chapter 653: A Bloody War

Oh my God, it was the two pilots trapped in the plane, slowly engulfed in flames. And the whole base is already in chaos, because the other three missiles have fallen, the flames are soaring, and the fire department has not yet reacted! Lanos turned off the communicator, closed his eyes in pain, drew a cross on his chest, and secretly prayed in his heart that the two unfortunate comrades would end this inhuman suffering soon.

As if they knew that their fate was irreversible, the two trapped pilots were like talk show hosts, cursing at President Bush Sr., Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, White House Spokesmen and other military and political dignitaries over the communicator, ridiculing the women of the big shots, questioning that this battlefield was a conspiracy of the politicians in Congress in collusion with the arms dealers and oil tycoons, so that these small soldiers would kill and be killed for the interests of the big men, and for the honor of the country and the gods and horses were all deceitful. Let them die is real!

When someone reacted and forcibly cut off the call, they did not know that due to the development of the US military's communication network, from the joint command of the Riyadh base, the E3 early warning aircraft, the ground radar station, to the cockpit of the fighter plane that was still carrying out the night flight mission that day...... All the officers and men with earplugs and communicators listened to the live broadcast in amazement. The richness of his language and the sharpness of his words made colleagues who were familiar with these two people suddenly find that these two goods are usually not very conspicuous, and it is really condescending not to change careers to become a talk show host on a TV station.

Gradually, the voices of the two died down, but the hearts of all those who heard the broadcast were unusually heavy, and the Bible says, "The sword wielder dies with the sword, and the sword wielder dies with the sword." How many Iraqis they killed, and now, themselves. And also bear the backlash of the monster of war!

At this time, the chaos at the Dhahran base had not been eliminated, and in the face of the three missiles that came again, six Patriots were lifted into the air. Moreover, the frequency of their lift-off to the ground is not very consistent. Some were fast and some were slow, and they successively met the last three incoming missiles.

Of the three missiles, one was apparently still Hussein, and the warhead and body quickly separated in the air.

However, the quality of the missile interception this time is also unusually high.

The first batch of three missiles hit the separated warhead and the body respectively. After the two fires formed by the Patriot missiles, there was another loud roar. Reaching the ground, followed by a huge ball of fire, reflected in the night sky.

The warhead was detonated in the air!

The phrase "thank God ......" had not yet come out of the mouth of Captain Lanos, and he regretted it.

The huge shock wave formed by the detonated Hussein missile spread out. It was pushed the last two missiles, and the latter two missiles quickly changed their landing points. And the last three Patriot interceptor missiles passed by.

The place where the two missiles were blown down, one was the pilot's dormitory building of the multinational force, and the other was the ammunition depot of the base!

Captain Lanox opened his mouth and couldn't make a sound.

He watched as the two missiles plunged into the interior from the window of a room on the sixth floor of the dormitory building; One pierced through the roof of the ammunition depot.

The rest of the scene. It's like slow motion in a movie that he will never forget.

First, all the glass in the building was shattered and splashed out in all directions. Illuminated by the firelight of the explosion above the base, the broken glass. It is like a brilliant gemstone, reflecting a brilliant or fiery red color.

The next moment, the building seemed to come to life and jumped violently. The cement exterior wall instantly expands outward, like a balloon that has been blown up. Immediately after, countless black dots flew out from the vanished windows, balconies, gates, and other directions. This is the shock wave formed by the explosion of the missile, splattered out of the room debris.

Immediately behind these black dots were clusters of flames rolling forward, expanding outward along the corridors and rooms, rushing out through the various openings of the building, revealing its hideous face.

The explosion of the ammunition depot is more like the coming of the end of the world, all kinds of high-performance, high-quality fighter ammunition released all their energy in an instant, like the eruption of the St. Lawrence volcano raging everything around, the flames of the explosion ignited almost everything for two kilometers, there were many "fire people" walking around, and the fire and smoke shrouded the entire base.

………

After nearly 5 hours of rescue, the fire department extinguished the fire, and the aftermath of the damage statistics was far more than people expected.

In the pilot's dormitory, only more than 20 people lingered in bars and other places, and escaped, and the rest of them all died in Huangquan. Among them, there were 80 pilots of the United States and Britain, and 570 others, with a total of 650 deaths.

And that's not all, two squadrons of warplanes were destroyed in a missile attack on the tarmac and the subsequent explosion of an ammunition depot, a total of 24 aircraft, 52 pilots and ground crews were killed and 31 wounded. Among the dead were the two pilots of the two warplanes that burned down on the runway (talk show hosts).

In addition, the wreckage of Hussein missiles and Patriot missiles that flew up left 30 people dead and more than 200 people injured of varying severity, many of whom were in critical condition.

A total of four buildings were damaged, and one storehouse was razed to the ground, and the fuel burned, causing the flames to form more than a dozen houses.

Although the fire was extinguished by the fire brigade, the value of the direct damage to property and equipment was as high as $1 billion, and more than 960 people were killed or injured.

U.S. military command center in Riyadh. When I received the news, I fell into a deathly silence.

The commander of the multinational force, Admiral Schwarzkopf, blushed his face, if the loss of property can be compensated, and the "talk show" incident has greatly damaged the morale of the US military and its allies, and the officers and soldiers are no longer in high spirits for the future defeat of the Iraqis, and the general suddenly feels a kind of exhaustion, and the goddess of war no longer seems to favor them!

After the massacre in Dhahran, although the U.S. military reacted quickly, Admiral Schwarzkopf also gave instructions to immediately impose news control and not allow any report about the incident to be disseminated by the media, at least not for now.

However, they made this decision too late.

When the Dhahran base was attacked, a number of newspaper reporters from the United States, France, Germany, and other countries had already faxed the photos they had taken and urgently written reports on the spot to the local newspapers in their home countries on the same day. (To be continued.) )
