Chapter 660: Landing in Kuwait

The entire formation, more than 200 helicopters, rumbled forward like this, tightly dozens of meters off the ground, from Robert's position, you could see the desert flying below, see a small village scattered in the distance, and hear the sound of explosions in the distance.

Along the way, they were lucky enough to barely run into Iraqi ground artillery fire. This is also thanks to the air strikes some time ago, which completely dealt a blow to the war potential of the Iraqis, especially in Kuwait, where the Iraqi ground forces were almost ravaged in turn.

Now, seeing that he was about to approach his destination, Robert's legs began to shake a few times, and after sitting in the helicopter for more than an hour, his leg muscles had begun to be a little numb, and after a while, he had to land down to fight.

From his direction, an Apache helicopter flying on the side could be seen, and under the short wings on both sides, hung with Hellfire anti-tank missiles and rocket launchers, these helicopters were used to protect their flanks.

And in the rear of the formation, there was also a Black Hawk helicopter, which was the helicopter on which their comrades-in-arms, fighters of another squad were traveling.

"Attention, check the equipment again, get ready to enter the battle!" In the roar of the helicopter, Robert heard the words of the squad leader.

Checking weapons, checking communicators, checking supplies they were carrying, all nervously going through one last check before entering the target area.

They are lightly armed, and in addition to carrying M16 rifles, the most powerful weapon is the M72 bazooka, and they mainly rely on the air support of Apache helicopters to attack the city.

The typical combat mode of the U.S. military is to call for air strikes at any time, even if there is a sniper on the opposite floor, you can call for air support. The building was scrapped so that the casualties of American soldiers could be minimized.

At present, the US Air Force has already seized air supremacy on the battlefield, and helicopters can fly over the battlefield without any threat.

Ahead, you can already see the city at night. Their destination has arrived!

Kuwait City is still silent, in the dark, this silence makes everyone feel inexplicably uneasy in their hearts.

The U.S. government has already issued a statement and the ground operation has officially begun, and at such a time, there is still no movement in Kuwait City, which is absolutely abnormal.

Due to the high maneuverability of the helicopters, when they flew to Kuwait City. The rest of the armored forces, still far from the border, began to advance, and before dawn they relied only on their own strength.

Isn't such a plan a bit risky?

It wasn't Robert's job to make a plan, he was just an American GI, and for him, it was just a matter of thinking about his mission. When the helicopter took him to his destination, he wanted to land. Follow one of his squad comrades to the TV building and take control there.

As the city drew closer, Robert opened his goggles to rub his sour eyes.

At this moment, on the ground. Suddenly a line lit up, and the curve was so fast that it was almost instantaneous.

"Portable missiles! Three o'clock! Robert shouted loudly, he shouted, almost at this moment. The Apache helicopter on the side had already detected the threat, and the roar of the helicopter increased sharply, and at the same time, a group of infrared decoy bombs were released from the side of the fuselage.

Unfortunately, the missile on the ground flew too fast, and just as the Apache had just pulled up, a violent explosion sounded.

"Boom!" With this explosion, the engine compartment on one side of the Apache was hit, the automatic fire extinguishing system was activated, countless white smoke was spewed out, the engine on one side was lost, the engine on the other side was at full power, and the helicopter staggered and flew up.

"Boom!" With another roar, Robert opened his eyes wide as he watched the Black Hawk helicopter behind him, which turned into a fireball in the explosion.

The soldiers of one of the infantry squads inside were all killed!

Robert's body fell backwards sharply, and the helicopter he was in was also pulling up quickly, trying to avoid the attack of the anti-aircraft missile on the ground.

When did the Iraqis have so many MANPADS? Moreover, the performance is so advanced that even infrared decoy bombs cannot be deceived!

The entire helicopter formation, under the sudden blow of the anti-aircraft missile on the ground, scattered in all directions, and at the same time, the counterattack of the Apache helicopter also began.

On the ground, an Iraqi soldier is standing behind a bunker, carrying the latest portable anti-aircraft missile that has been training recently.

SAM-18! This is a new generation of portable surface-to-air missile system of the Soviet Union following the SAM-7 anti-aircraft missile, SAM-14 anti-aircraft missile, and SAM-16 anti-aircraft missile, which began to be developed in 1971 and entered service with the army in 1983. The target selection logic device in the seeker can identify all kinds of infrared false targets emitted by supersonic targets, and has a strong ability to resist infrared interference, and can deal with a variety of interference such as signal flares, flash grenades and modulated infrared interference.

Now, it's a real combat battle of this portable anti-aircraft missile!

On the battlefield in Afghanistan, the American portable anti-aircraft missile Stinger posed a great threat to the Soviet helicopters, and more than half of the Hind's losses were caused by the Stinger, and now, the Soviet needle anti-aircraft missiles have begun to explode the Americans' chrysanthemums.

The soldier stood up, his eyes fixed on the sight, waiting for the sound of a lock in his headset.

He didn't know that his body had appeared in the night vision device of the pilot of the Apache helicopter, and under the short wings, rockets flew out with thick smoke one after another.

"Drop...", a voice was already heard in the headphones, and the soldier pulled the trigger.

"Tom." In the rear of the launch tube, a flash of fire came out, and a needle missile flew out of the front end.

"Boom!" At this moment, the rockets of the Apache helicopter had already flown over, and bricks flew sideways around him, and his body was instantly torn into pieces.

The battle of blood and fire has begun!

"Quick, quick!" Robert's helicopter, instead of sending them to the predetermined target, landed them on an empty basketball court, and the sound of cars was already heard in the distance.

Robert expertly disembarked from the rope, and as his feet hit the solid ground of Kuwait, he felt his leg muscles seem to tremble.

"Quick, quick! Occupy the high ground there with me! Robert heard the squad leader shouting, and he didn't have time to hesitate at this time, so he immediately followed his squad leader and strode towards the small second-floor building over there.

At that moment, a shuttle of bullets swept over, and the Iraqis were already shooting at the pickup truck, armed with a large-caliber machine gun.

Robert felt a chill on his scalp, and the bullets seemed to be flying over his head.

"Ahh There was a scream behind him, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw that his friend had been shot and fell to the ground, a hole appeared in his chest, and blood flowed to the ground in an instant.

"Boom!" The pickup didn't last long before the Apache helicopter took care of it, and Robert ran a few steps back, and with another of his comrades, set up the hapless guy and dragged him behind a wall.

"Quick, tourniquet!"

"Give him a shot!"

Several people were busy with their hands, but the eyes of this comrade-in-arms had begun to dissipate, and he had lost too much blood, making his face look so pale. His hands struggled to grasp something, but he was finally breathless.

Robert's hands are full of blood, and his mind has begun to go blank, this is war!

Time was slowly passing, and it was an unforgettable day for many American GIs.

Dawn is gradually coming, many parts of Kuwait City are plunged into brutal street fighting, and American armored forces are advancing rapidly on the desert.

The 101st Air Assault Division has strong mobility, but firepower is their shortcoming, and there are no heavy weapons, so that they are almost pressed and beaten by the Iraqis in battle, and if it is not for the timely air support, the troops that enter first will almost be wiped out by the Iraqi garrison.

More than a month of air strikes did not hit the morale of the Iraqi army, and the battle is about to fall into a glued state!

General Schwarzkopf was very depressed, a simple war of liberation, was beaten like this, the Scud attack, the sudden appearance of long-range anti-aircraft missiles, and those damned portable anti-aircraft missiles, all show without exception that there is another country, secretly supporting Iraq!

Even if it is a protest, it is a diplomatic cannon, and now, General Schwarzkopf has no other way, and continues to urge those armored troops to move forward quickly, enter Kuwait City as soon as possible, and settle the battle!

Despite the losses suffered last night, the American war machine is still strong, and at the same time, in order to increase the strength of the army, General Schwarzkopf ordered the British 1st Armored Division, which was originally responsible for cutting off the Iraqi army's retreat in the rear with the coalition forces, to immediately change direction and go south to participate in the battle to Kuwait City.

At a critical time, it is still reliable to be one's own people, and if you let those slow coalition forces come, I am afraid that you will have to walk for several days.

After receiving the order, the British 1st Panzer Division immediately turned around, and the powerful Challenger tanks rumbled towards the south. Britain is an old capitalist country, an empire on which the sun never sets, and now, the strength of Britain's army is also strong! (To be continued.) )
