Chapter 747: Pleasing to the Eye
On the chassis of the off-road truck, a large flat-panel phased array radar, facing west, scans the airspace ahead.
In the front operation room, the radar hand looked at the reflected echo above, and this time, it was a real interception of a surface-to-surface missile!
In the last Gulf War, Pakistan's long-range air defense radar was intercepted in actual combat, but at that time it could also interfere with the guidance system of the Scud missile, and now, the ballistic missile flying by Iran has not been moved, and can only be intercepted hard!
The Americans' Patriot missile units are limited in number, mainly deployed in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other places, and because Gwadar Port is absolutely safe, the Americans did not leave a Scud missile launch battalion, only a long-range anti-aircraft missile unit from Pakistan, stationed 15 kilometers away.
Now, after discovering that the Iranians had launched a ballistic missile, Pakistan quickly activated the plan to carry out the interception.
Soon, four targets appeared on the radar screen, and the electronic computer was rapidly actuarially calculated, and within a few seconds, the specific interception point was determined, and then, through an automated operating system, it was transmitted to the launch vehicle next to it.
The launch vehicle has the same chassis arrangement, four huge cylinders, which have been erected by a hydraulic operating system, and after receiving the signal, the interceptor missile has also been launched.
"Bang." Similarly, the launch canister was ejected by high-pressure air, the disposable sealed top cover on the top was ejected, and at a height of five meters from the launch canister, the tail of the interceptor missile burst into flames, and it was successfully ignited!
Born out of the Navy's Friendship Shield interception system. In terms of launch, the same cold launch method is used for land-based systems, and now. After ignition, the missile instantly accelerated, dragged the tongue of fire, and flew into the sky.
One after another, in the same way that two intercepted one missile, eight interceptor missiles were launched this time. Two launchers emptied their own missiles, and the interception was going on intensely.
The U.S. military garrison in Gwadar Port is also busy at this time. Countless warplanes on the airport were urgently pulled back to the hangar, and the naval warships in the port also turned on their radars. Although only in vain. It is also intended to make a last-ditch effort after the failure of Pakistan's interception.
The interceptor missile continued to fly upward, and after more than 20 seconds, the active radar on the warhead was turned on, and the target was soon captured. Your own phased array radar. As long as you are responsible for the guidance of the first and middle sections, you can leave the last section to yourself. Theoretically, the saturation resistance of such a weapon system is determined by the number of interceptor missiles launched.
On the command vehicle, two tracks are rapidly approaching, this is the flight trajectory calculated by the computer, watching these tracks gradually approach, everyone held their breath.
Finally, after the intersection of the two trajectories coincided, the target disappeared in an instant!
Intercepted successfully!
The first interception was successful, and the second chose to self-detonate after continuing to fly for more than ten seconds.
The second target, the third target, were all accurately hit!
Since it was the Meteor-1 missile that flew towards Pakistan, it had a range of only 300 kilometers and a low reentry speed, so it was not very difficult to intercept it.
Even so, everyone gasped as they watched the fourth missile fly and pass by their own first interceptor missile.
Then, the second interceptor missile is also coming in a flash, because the time is too short, it is impossible to launch another interceptor missile, just like that, everyone stares at the screen, hoping that this missile can be intercepted successfully.
Passing by, the goal is still there!
Interception failed!
"Notify friendly forces of the situation immediately." said the battalion commander of the anti-aircraft missile battalion.
Successfully intercepted three and failed one, that failed missile will also cause some damage to the Americans, but they have done their best!
"Report, target disappears!" At this moment, the radar operator shouted happily.
The target is gone! After five seconds of continued flight, the target disappeared from the radar screen! It seems that this time it was not that it was not unsuccessful, but that the interceptor missile was not powerful enough to directly destroy the opponent's warhead, and a few seconds later, the warhead exploded incendiaryly.
All intercepted successfully! The news quickly reached Gwadar Port, and the Americans immediately cheered, and at this moment, they sincerely thanked the Pakistani missile forces.
The Americans on this side are cheering, and on the other side, the Americans who are still in the mountains are already terrified.
"Boom!" Hearing the sound of the explosion, the intuition was that it had been attacked by the Iraqi armed forces, and Private George quickly jumped from the M2 infantry fighting vehicle he was riding.
This infantry fighting vehicle is stuffed with a large and thin skin, and an RPG can destroy the aluminum armor of an infantry fighting vehicle and make it burn violently, not to mention that now he does not stay in the infantry fighting vehicle, but sits on top.
Almost a knee-jerk reaction, he jumped out of the car, ran behind a rock next to him in a few steps, hid his body, breathed a little heavily, and then looked at his comrades who kept making the same movements with him.
Next, it's time to hear the sound of firefighting, but now, why not? Moreover, the explosion just now, it seems, did not come from the road ahead, but from a long distance?
Thinking of this, George raised his head again and looked at his own team, although the Long Snake Formation was the most vulnerable to ambush, but his own army was the size of a division! Do Iraqis really have such a big appetite that they can eat them all? If they dare to attack here, the Iraqis will be completely wiped out as long as they hold out for a moment and the air force arrives.
What's going on?
"Wow, wow." At this moment, such a voice came from afar, from far and near, so terrifying.
Looking up into the distance, when he saw the water rushing several meters high, Private George suddenly felt his scalp tingle, and his heart actually began to tremble!
Damn it! These Iraqis actually want to release water and drown themselves! The explosion that shook the ground just now was blown open by the Iraqis in front of the mountain pass, diverting the nearby river and directly impacting the road here!
During the rainy season, when the rainfall is particularly abundant, the river is sometimes diverted and flows over the mountain road here, not to mention that now, the Iraqis have blasted the mountain pass open!
When he reacted, Private George ran like crazy and ran down the hillside, and the water flowed low, as long as he ran to the high place, it would be fine!
After walking in the mountain road for several days, his feet had already blistered, and every step he took hurt as if he was walking on a glass shard, but George gritted his teeth, if he didn't run at this time, he wouldn't have a chance to run after that, he didn't want to be put in a bag, at most he had a star-striped banner on his body.
Adaptable, correct, and quick-reflexing, George finally escaped, but there were not many people who had the same chance as him, and when the river was several meters high, many people were swept away by the waves in an instant, rolling to the east.
This is Tianwei!
There is a rather idiot armored driver who actually wants to use his own M2 infantry fighting vehicle to float, although this infantry fighting vehicle itself can be used amphibious, but it is launched by itself, not washed by the river! When the river hit, the infantry fighting vehicle of more than 30 tons, without floating as expected, was directly washed and rolled a few times, collided with the vehicles behind, and turned upside down again, the river water continued to pour in, and the people inside had no time to escape.
"Success, success!" Standing far away on the top of a hillside, watching through a telescope as the river rushed over here, and the American troops operating along the road in the low-lying river valley were swept downstream by the river, Saddam Hussein was so excited that he wanted to jump up.
Well, this plan is good, this river rushes over, and the American army disappears in an instant!
"Contact the camp immediately, order the remaining troops to come out, and retreat from here to the western mountains!" Saddam Hussein continued to give orders.
The Americans' sweep was advancing gradually, from the western border all the way through, and the Iraqi army could only keep retreating, and now, it was almost about to be pushed to the plains, and now, as the army on the west side was washed away by the current, the American encirclement suddenly appeared a gap, and their own troops just retreated from this gap and returned to the mountains to the west.
There are two advantages to this: first, it is to free up the east side, and when the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps arrives, it will just be in contact with the remaining American troops, and when the time comes, they will have to fight if they don't want to, so that they can fight against each other, and their own side will watch the excitement, which is the most pleasing to the eye. Second, if the US troops that have already advanced eastward want to retreat, they will be constantly ambushed by their own side, and their logistics supply lines will also be the target of their own attacks, reducing the combat effectiveness of the Americans and causing them to suffer heavy losses in the battle with Iran.
It was risky to stay in Mahabat and not retreat, but now it's worth the risk. The United States is its own enemy, and Iran is also its own enemy, so let these two enemies fight each other!
"Instructor Mahmood, you are the first to be able to achieve a major victory over the Americans this time!" Saddam Hussein turned and said to Massoud next to him.
"These are the results of the bloody battles of our fighters." Massoud said: "Including you, coming to the front line of the battle has greatly boosted our morale, and we have today's victory." (To be continued.) )
