“shit！” Short, who was sitting in the M1 tank, shouted, jumped out, spread his legs, and ran towards the back.

The naked eye can see that the warhead, which is red from the friction of Mach 6 on the surface, is splashing towards this side!

When the warhead collided with the ground, the whole earth shook, as if it were an earthquake.

Two legs can't outrun something that flies, let alone more than Mach 6! At this moment, as if death was coming, he slammed to the ground, waiting for the explosion of the high-explosive warhead.

For a second, it seemed like a century.

And in the next second, he slowly stood up, the ballistic missile that flew in was a dud!

Generally speaking, the high-explosive warhead should explode when it is in the air, so that the shrapnel flies around, which can have the best killing effect, and only when it hits a building, it will fall on it before exploding, and now, this warhead has fallen to the ground and has not exploded, which can only mean that this is a dud!

How lucky! Short got up from the ground and looked in the direction of the dud, only to see that the warhead did not explode, but only cracked, and at this time, from the inside of the crack, a stream of liquid continued to flow, this liquid was odorless, tasteless, yellowish, and after flowing out, it continued to volatilize.

Seeing this scene, Short was shocked, damn it! It turns out that the Iranians did not intend to use the explosive effect of warheads to kill their own side at all, they used chemical weapons!

These dozens of missiles are all chemical weapons! Even if it is intercepted by a Patriot missile or a standard missile and detonated in the air, the chemical weapons in the warhead are still rapidly volatilizing, covering the entire Abbas!

Short's heart was shocked. He quickly held his breath and ran in the direction of his tank, his brain fainting as his lungs began to run out of oxygen, but he had no choice.

If you're guessing correctly, it's a tiny dose that you just need to inhale. VX gas is enough to kill someone!

When Short insisted on getting to the tank, almost fainting, he laboriously climbed in, closed the canopy, started the engine, and activated the three-defense system inside the tank.

Through a large volume filter, the air is filtered and then passed through the overpressure system, causing the internal pressure of the tank to be higher than the outside. It is possible to prevent poison gas from entering, and any kind of tank in this era must have a nuclear, biological and chemical defense system.

However, not everyone has the luck of Schott.

Through the periscope of the tank, Schott could see that the surroundings were turning into a living hell.

VX gas is a fast-acting agent. The American soldiers outside, just a few seconds after exposure to the poison, began to show various symptoms, they began to shed tears, constricted pupils, chest tightness, etc. With this agent constantly control the enzymes of the body's glands and muscles. The muscles began to cramp incessantly. The American GI fell to the ground, shaking. Eventually, either suffocation or the heart eventually stops working.

I can't hear the screams, this silent death is even more terrifying, and Short is still alive. Experience a horror like never before.

His hands, trembling, turned on the radio station to report to the outside world the astonishing news that the Iranians had used chemical weapons and occupied the American forces in Bandar Abbas. Massive casualties are being carried out!

Chemical weapon! This weapon, which violates international conventions, can be said to be a nuclear weapon of a poor country! As long as there is a basic chemical industry that can produce pesticides, theoretically speaking, it can make chemical weapons, and Iran obviously belongs to this category of countries, and for an evil rogue country like Iran, which has never worried about international prestige, it is a country that can launch chemical weapons attacks without being bound by international conventions.

For the American soldiers who all rode in the tank, they did not carry individual protective devices, and they all relied on the three defense systems of the tank, and now, in order to avoid the missile attack, they did not stay in their tanks, and in the buildings outside, the American soldiers suffered a large number of casualties.

It's a living hell! When the US Middle East Command, which received the news, urgently dispatched anti-chemical warfare troops into Abbas and began to eliminate the effects of poison gas, there were no American soldiers inside.

Of the more than 200,000 American GIs, less than 20,000 survived this catastrophe! Such a casualty ratio once again shocked the US authorities, even greater than the casualties of Zahran!

After all, although the Iraqis had many missiles at the beginning, they were all conventional warheads, but Iran actually dared to break through the bottom limit of the war and use chemical weapons!

The U.S. military was able to attack all the way to the capture of Bandar Abbas, the most important port of the Iranians, and blocked the exit of the Persian Gulf, which was actually a strategy of the Iranians! The Iranians allowed US troops to gather in Bandar Abbas and then brazenly used chemical weapons!

The Patriot missile system was improved, the Aegis system was upgraded, and it was thought that it could intercept the Iranians' ballistic missiles and protect their own troops, however, reality slapped the Americans again, so what if they intercepted? Unless it can be intercepted during the take-off phase and let these chemical weapons work on Iran's launch sites, even if the interception is successful in the final stage, it will only accelerate the volatilization of this chemical toxin!

The next time the Iranians launch a missile, will they intercept it or not?

In the face of this significant loss, the United States reacted quickly, and a White House spokesman spoke.

"We were surprised to hear the news of the Iranian use of chemical weapons in Abbas, which has caused heavy casualties to our fighters, and this is a tragedy, a tragedy no less than the tragedy of the Dahran catastrophe, and we did not expect that such an evil country as Iran would dare to brazenly use chemical weapons, using such weapons that are strictly prohibited in the United Nations conventions. We have suffered heavy casualties, the lives of those soldiers will not disappear in vain, they died in the war to defend world peace and overthrow the evil government, we remember them, and at the same time, we will use a more fierce offensive to completely overthrow the evil government of Iran and contribute to world peace! No matter what the cost, we will move forward! ”

Both sides have torn their faces, and they must fight! Although the United States has suffered losses, it still has a strong fighting force!

At the same time, the United States has strengthened its domestic security efforts to prevent fanatical people like Iranians from causing some terrorist attacks, and at the same time, American expatriates around the world have also been asked by local embassies to return to the United States if they can return to the United States, and those who cannot return should also pay attention to safety!

The war to subvert Iran must be carried on, and it originally planned to first solve the oil-producing areas along the Persian Gulf coast, but now the US strategy has been adjusted again.

A flattened plane with the appearance of a bat, flying in the sky, it has no tail down, the whole body is like a W-shaped flying wing, and the four engines propel the plane, flying silently high in the sky.

Inside the cabin, flickering with the bright light of the dim display, the two pilots are munching on the high-energy food they brought with them before takeoff, it is a flight mission that lasts for more than twenty hours, and for them, the biggest challenge is their physical strength.

Therefore, except for the take-off phase, which requires manual control, most of the rest of the time, they hand over the flight to the autopilot, one person is on duty, and the other person can rest in the flight seat.

After a long voyage and an in-flight refueling, they crossed the Mediterranean Sea and reached the skies over Syria, where they were about to enter Iranian territory.

Although they crossed the border into Syria, they did not worry at all about being discovered by the Syrian air defense system, because this low-detectability bomber was the latest fighter developed by the United States! It has the bomb load of the B-52, but it has a smaller radar reflection area than the F-117!

It's the B-2 stealth bomber!

The plan could initially be traced back 75 years when the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) invited Lockheed, Boeing and Northrop to provide preliminary engineering data for a low-detectability aircraft. At this time, the US military has begun to focus on the research of low-detectable aircraft, and Lockheed recently submitted a prototype, which was well received by the Air Force and gave the F-117 stealth fighter number. In 77 years, the Carter administration secretly authorized the launch of the stealth bomber project, named Advanced Technology Bomber (ATB), which was the original name of the B-2 stealth strategic bomber.

Originally, Lockheed was full of confidence, and with its performance on the F-117, it was easy to win the contract for a new stealth bomber, but I didn't expect that the US Department of Defense finally chose Northrop!

In '81, the U.S. Air Force announced Northrop as the winner of the ATB contract, the aircraft number B-2, and signed an initial contract for six flight test aircraft and two static test aircraft, plus an intended order for 127 production bombers, with the initial operational capability planned to be reached in 1987.

In fact, just from the model, it is obvious that Northrop's aircraft is more sci-fi, there is no tail rudder, the whole aircraft is a large flying wing, and the surface is smoother, more in line with the standards of the US Air Force, Lockheed is still on the original F-117 modified polyhedral layout, apparently has fallen behind.

Like other military aircraft development, the progress was delayed, the project investment increased, and the development of the B-2 cast a gray shadow, until now, it has reached 94, the first production B-2, only entered the service of the US Air Force, just in time for the Iran war!
