Chapter 528: Blitzkrieg (1/2)
Representatives of various countries here have just come out of the US military base, and most of them have not yet returned to their own bases, and US military planes are dispatched from the sky.
At this time, if you look at the sky, as long as you are not blind, you can see that the number of sorties of US military planes has increased all of a sudden!
The airdrop of more than 3,000 special forces on the land of YLK is not for nothing, and it is one thing to confirm intelligence information closely, and the most important thing is to prepare it for today!
The electronic jamming system was turned on again in full force, completely obscuring the radar system of the YLK people, and it was not until the overwhelming number of fighters appeared in the sky that the YLK discovered the problem.
A beam of laser spans thousands of meters or even thousands of meters and shines on the target half-buried under the yellow sand, clearly guiding the target for the missile in the sky!
Desert terrain has good and bad things!
The advantage is that you can dig up the sand at any time to hide, and then cover it with a gilly suit to camouflage, not to mention at an altitude of thousands of meters, it is nearly ten times more, it is difficult to find the target, especially in the daytime, the desert temperature is high, and the infrared detection equipment is useless.
Of course, there are also disadvantages, the terrain is too flat, there are no obstacles, and it is easy to use artificial laser guidance.
The U.S. special forces are also wearing desert gilly suits, which are difficult to spot even if they are close to a distance of ten meters, as long as they themselves are not exposed!
During the day, this green laser beam is not easy to spot!
"Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh"
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"
The flames rose, the sky was full of sand and dust, and the military targets that had been well hidden in the previous bombardment were blown up directly into the sky by missiles.
The first target is the radar and communication system of the YLK people, the second target is ground anti-aircraft fire, and the third target is to hit the YLK people's living forces as much as possible.
As for the airbase of the YLK people.....
This thing is too difficult to hide, and I don't know how many times it has been in and out by the US Air Force, and it has been grinded out of cocoons.....
In the past month of air fighting, most of the losses of the YLK air force have been taken by Norman no longer in the eyes of Norman, even if the YLK air force appears after the start of the early morning operation, it doesn't matter, they can't even cope with the US fighters, let alone interfere with the ground forces of the US army.
You don't have that strength, you know!
The U.S. military has been deliberately suppressing itself for nearly a month, and the emotions that have been suppressed for so long burst out at one time, and the intensity of the bombing is more fierce than the first bombing in the early morning of the 17th!
With intelligence support that is so accurate that it cannot be more precise, important targets include laser precision guidance for ground personnel, laser-guided missiles, cloudburst bombs, incendiary bombs, and cluster bombs.....
What?
The United Nations issued the "Protocol Agreement on Prohibitions and Restrictions on the Use of Incendiary Weapons" to joke that what does the United Nations have to do with me, the United States, I didn't sign it! Fried, fried, fried, fried, fried!
Bomb what you see!
Norman's order was to wipe out 70% of the U.S. military's stockpiles of missiles, excluding anti-tank missiles, within 12 hours!
After winning this war, these missiles will cost a lot of money if they still need to be transported back!
How do you buy it without light..... Ahem, as a patriot, Norman certainly wants to save every penny for the United States.
It's all taxpayers' money!
The entire bombing route was completely in accordance with the previously arranged direction of action of the three-way army, and the purpose was to open the way!
As for whether the YLK people can find out.....
This is not in the scope of Norman's consideration at all, now, when the stupid big wood hiding in Baghdad can receive the information from the front is two different things, even if it is received, half of the integrity can be regarded as YLK people are well-trained!
More than 3,000 special forces, in addition to being responsible for accurate laser guidance before the bombing and real-time transmission of bombing effects, some of them also aim to destroy communication base stations located in the desert or in the city!
Once these communication base stations are blown up, the YLK army will enter a state of communication loss!
Fried, fried, fried, fried, fried!
Before a wave of fighters could return, the next wave had already arrived, and the fighters in the sky had never been reduced for a moment, and bombs with huge reserves such as aerial bombs were thrown down like no money!
Not only land-based, sea-based Tomahawk cruise missiles burst into the sky from time to time, targeting some large, important targets and facilities of the YLK people.
A few hours later, Silly Damu received the news from the front line, and he was a little overwhelmed by the sudden and violent bombing of the US military, what happened, the US army went crazy?
But the days? That's not how wars are fought!
It's impossible to empty the ammunition at once, what to do later? Cease fire?
Even a novice knows that this is not right, and the US military obviously will not make such a mistake. So, what is the purpose of the US military?
Silly Damu felt that his heartbeat began to speed up unconsciously, and he was short of breath as if he was being shrouded in a shadow, and he had a very bad feeling, something bad was going to happen!
But he didn't know the specific situation, the front-line contact was interrupted, and he couldn't make a correct judgment at all.
The satellite phones of the YLK people were useless at the very beginning of the war, the YLK people did not have the ability to launch satellites, the communication satellites were leased, and the signal band was turned off at the request of Norman as soon as the war began!
At this juncture, no one dares to open satellite communication for YLK people, and that's not how to find death!
Of course, it doesn't mean that Silly Damu is really disconnected from the outside world.....
After all, there are still some 'foreign friends', and foreign friends can still use satellite phones.
Now it's up to friends!
.....
As the scattered news came over, Silly Damu's face was ugly, he hadn't eaten dinner, it was 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and he hadn't slept yet.
At this time, how much heart can you sleep!? Shaun: ZZZZ·
Suddenly, his secretary walked in quickly, bowed his head next to Silly Damu and whispered, "I just received a message that the U.S. military is preparing to launch a ground attack, and the time is 4 o'clock in the morning."
Silly Damu's heart skipped a beat, and his face turned pale, but soon it turned red again, and his emotions fluctuated, making him a little dizzy for a while.
The good news is that my friend has passed on the intelligence of the US military, and the bad news is that the US military is going to launch an all-out attack!
This battle is about to come to an end!
Whether it was he who was ready to charge and delayed the pace of the US troops, or whether the US troops were like a bamboo and killed others on their backs, we will know the result immediately!
At this moment, no matter how much preparation he had, he didn't know the bottom of his heart, and his whole person began to be uncontrollably nervous.
After taking a few deep breaths, he reached out and gestured to the secretary, who immediately found the humidor, took out a cigar, trimmed and baked it, and handed it to Silly Damu.
Silly Damu's hand holding the cigar trembled uncontrollably, and he didn't even put it in his mouth for the first time, but poked it directly in his nostrils.
On weekdays, Silly Damu must have lost it and replaced it with a new one, and his snot is not clean!
But Silly Damu didn't think about that at this time, he urgently needed to smoke a cigar to calm his nervousness.
Things got to this point, and he couldn't do anything but relay the news of the imminent all-out offensive of the American army to the front.
How the battle will turn out in the end depends on the front line. Or rather, look at the Americans.
.....
At 2 a.m., Norman convened the plenary again, and from the beginning to the end, he did not mention secrecy.
There are too many countries participating in the war, and there are no people here who really have the same heart as the United States, and the news cannot be hidden.
Isn't it a head-to-head showdown?
Head-to-head showdown, everyone here is.... Ahem, what the hell, north, you stand up first, thank you.
Well, all of you here are rubbish!
The meeting lasted only ten minutes, and after re-emphasizing the combat mission and listening to the report of the commander of the Third Route Army, the meeting ended.
Everything is ready, only ...... Battle-axe! Time for a minute
A second passed.
It seems to be 12 hours of preparation time, but in fact, as early as three days ago, the US military, as the main force, had already begun to quietly change guards and move, but it seemed that it was just a normal dispatch.
At 3:30, there were 30 squads in each of the three directions, and more than 500 people set off first.
30 squads sprinkled on a front of tens of kilometers and nothing could be seen. Don't you need to explore horses in modern warfare?
Need!
Their purpose was to check the route of the army for hidden enemy outposts or special forces.
In the vast desert, it is only necessary to arrange two people, carrying individual anti-tank missiles and burying them in the sand, and waiting for the tank unit as the vanguard of the army to come with a few rounds when it approaches....
Even if ten anti-tank missiles only kill one US tank, then it will be earned! Separated by a kilometer or two, tank troops can really use artillery to fight mosquitoes!
Don't expect helicopter gunships in this case, it's all bait, it's poisonous!
In the middle of the night, the low-altitude strafing of the gunship was easily knocked down by the Sam-7 of the YLK people!!
This is the variability and complexity of the ground war, and it is by this means that the poor man dragged down first the Soviets, and then the Americans!
Ground warfare is really not something you can do if you are equipped with advanced equipment, the tactics have changed too much, and the quality and combat awareness of the soldiers can play an effect beyond imagination.
The traces left on the Americans in the north have not yet dried up!
These squads set off in advance, not to say that they can really eliminate all the hidden dangers on the road, but even if they can't eliminate all of them, they can do some cooperation on the way of the army, and try to reduce some losses is one thing, and it can improve the speed of the army's march without being delayed.
The enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy retreats and we advance, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and we pursue; this sentence has been recorded in the textbooks of all military academies in the world.
Did there be gunshots in front of you, but no one paid attention at this time, and at 4 o'clock, the three-way army set off at the same time!
First of all, there is a group of fighters, which are responsible for clearing the skies!
This was followed by helicopter gunships, all of which were at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters and were ready to engage at any time while ensuring their own safety.
This was followed by an army of tanks with armored vehicles, and more than 4,000 vehicles set off at the same time, killing them with overwhelming momentum on a plane of hundreds of kilometers!
There was a squad on the army side to open the way, and if necessary, they would call in air support, basically clearing the obstacles on the road, and the tank army, including the mighty mechanized troops behind, rushed towards the YLK people!
At a distance approaching 40 km, under the escort of fighters, bombers began to massively drop aerial bombs.
In the face of the menacing US military, the YLK people had to come out to face the battle, first of all, the battle plan was to let the US army fall into the endless yellow sand, but this required that the YLK people must be able to thwart the sharpness of the US army!
The first thing the YLK people rushed out of was the tank troops! The US military cannot be easily approached within 40 km!
Fortifications can play a great role in the face of aerial bombs thrown from the air, but they can't withstand heavy artillery!!
Within the coverage of heavy artillery fire, all ground facilities can only be ashed! Even a tank can't withstand heavy artillery bombardment!
Tanks are used for mobile fire batteries and mechanized attack close combat, once the tank is close to exert its power, the heavy artillery group can only be annihilated.
The YLK people will not give the tanks of the US army a chance to get close to their own heavy artillery group! These 40 kilometers are the battlefield of tanks on both sides!
It was also the first battle in which the ground forces of both sides exchanged fire! It's just that the US military clearly doesn't think so .... What is the purpose of the continuous bombing for 35 days?
Right now!
When the tank unit of the YLK people rushed out, the helicopter group, which had been hovering at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, suddenly began to dive!
Dive to a low altitude of about 400 meters, the infrared-guided Hellfire anti-tank missile easily locks onto the tank of the YLK man with the help of a fire control radar.
The first thing to sound on the battlefield was not the sound of missile launches
, but the sound of anti-aircraft machine guns "da-da-da".
In the dense sound of machine guns, the gunships in the sky did not move at all, and the anti-aircraft machine gun is a symbolic thing, the biggest role is to strafe the enemy's approaching infantry, and it is just a supplement of firepower!
And the anti-aircraft weapons still rely on their own helicopters and anti-aircraft missiles!
It's just a pity that this air strike, which lasted for 35 days, caused heavy losses in the air power of the YLK people.
The fighter plane, which had just gone into the sky, was entangled again, and the helicopter that tried to take off was simply a toy in front of the fighter, and after losing a dozen fighters, the YLK people had to abandon the use of helicopters.
With the sound of "da-da-da", the hellfire hanging under the belly of the helicopter was launched one after another.
"Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh"
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"
The battlefield was full of flames, a T-70 was completely scrapped by the Hellfire that fell from the sky, and the unfortunate ammunition in the car was hit by a metal jet, causing the explosion of the entire turret.
At this moment, the US tanks, which were still menacing just now, were slowly retreating..... The first battle was a tank battle?
No, it's our helicopters that fight your tank battles!
Helicopter gunships are worthy of being the natural enemies of tanks, and the number of helicopters dispatched by the US military is far lower than that of the tanks of the YLK people, but the results achieved are too amazing!
Three waves of strikes, more than 300 helicopters quickly retreated to the rear after completing their missions and re-hung ammunition, leaving only a few hundred completely paralyzed and scrapped tanks on the battlefield.
And the helicopter gunships have just been withdrawn, and the tanks of the US coalition have rushed out again! With the helicopter dad escorted, the momentum of the tank force is even more fierce!
Don't run, cubs, let's fight!!
Their task is to entangle head-on, and it will be enough to wait for the dads to finish loading! How can things on the battlefield be called shameless?
It's called tactics!!
