Chapter 529: Blitzkrieg (2/2)
At 4 o'clock in the morning, the three-way army of the US coalition officially launched an attack!
At 4:25, the US bombers arrived above the head of the YLK army and began to cover the bombing!
At 4:50, the tank units of both sides met!
At 4:55, the U.S. tank unit was scattered, and the helicopter gunship unit was dispatched to bomb the tank unit of the YLK army.
At 5:30, the U.S. helicopter gunship retreated, and the YLK army lost more than 450 tanks!
At 5:40, the U.S. tank unit entered the battlefield again and began to outflank it on a large scale, employing harassment and delay tactics.
At 6:30 a.m., the US armed helicopter unit entered the battlefield again, and only one-third of the helicopters entered the battlefield this time, and the US tank unit did not retreat, but continued to carry out the entanglement mission and repeated the bombing mission.
At 6:50, the second wave of helicopter units of the US army entered the battlefield, and the first wave of helicopter units returned to reload their weapons.
At 7:10, the YLK heavy artillery unit began to indiscriminately bombard the relatively dense area of the US military in the front of the battlefield on both sides, in an attempt to rescue and save their own tank units with a small amount of losses.
At 7:12, the US counter-battery radar captured the position of the artillery positions of the YLK people, and the bomber units bombed the enemy missile units.
At 7:15, 38 Tomahawk missiles rose into the air in the rear of the US army and attacked the artillery positions of the YLK Army at 8 coordinates! At 7:25, the US M270 self-propelled rocket launcher was launched, indiscriminately covering and bombing the YLK artillery positions 60 kilometers away!
At 7:40, the forward artillery positions of YLK were completely muted and completely lost their long-range strike capability!
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the front-line tank units of the YLK army were all wiped out, and the battlefield was full of wreckage of T-72.
......
YLK people are still continuing the most mature tunnel warfare method since World War II, and have been tested and tempered in practice in the Iran-Iraq war.
Facts have proved that tunnels and trenches can indeed greatly reduce casualties and block enemy attacks, even in the face of tank troops!
The tank has an angle of fire, taking the M1A1 of the US army as an example, the artillery killing range of the tank is 150-3000 meters, that is to say, when it enters the range of 150 meters, the tank artillery will be scrapped, and at this time you can only count on the machine gun that comes with the tank!
At this distance, the tank could only rely on the machine gun on top or the armored vehicle that followed.
Relying on tunnels and trenches, as long as you dodge the bombardment of tank artillery, after entering 150 meters, it will be the world of the Soviet AT-5 anti-tank missile!
The minimum range of 25 meters is enough for the US tank to drink a pot!
As long as their trench defense line has not been knocked out, the YLK army will still maintain confidence!
··..·.
After solving the tank troops, artillery units, missile units, the YLK people also fled after losing most of their air forces.
U.S. tank units quickly reached the first line of defense formed here in the western town of Salman, YLK!
After approaching 3 kilometers and entering the optimal range of the M1A1, the US tanks immediately slowed down, and at the same time, the armed helicopters in the sky circled and began to dive towards the defense line.
Helicopter gunships, a nightmare for the ground forces!
After a round of rockets covered, the gunship was overhead, staggered, and the crossfire began to pour fire into the trenches!
As soon as the helicopter gunship started, the tanks on this side immediately accelerated and rushed up, and if anyone paid attention at this time, they would find that the tanks in the second row looked very strange.
The barrel on the turret is missing, and a bucket like a bulldozer has been added to the front of the tank, but unlike a normal bulldozer, this bucket cannot be moved up and down flexibly.
Not only has the front been changed, but a layer of bulletproof grilles has been welded on both sides on the perimeter of the reactive armor. 3 km is not far, and even in the desert, the speed of the tank has not decreased.
Under the cover of the helicopter gunship, the tanks in the first row stopped after 1.5 kilometers, and the turret roared, cooperating with the helicopters in the sky to suppress the YLK people, but the strange tanks in the second row rushed quickly.
The YLK people are not stupid, although they don't understand what the situation of these strange tanks is for a while, but the time is urgent, and they can't care so much, and the AT-5 will be launched "bang" "bang" "bang" after aiming.
The principle of killing of anti-tank rockets is the use of metal jets, which are not high-explosive, and such warheads are not very effective in the face of bulletproof grilles and reactive armor.
Now that the tank's artillery has been removed, the turret does not need to be rotated left and right, and bulletproof grilles can be added at will, this wave of blows did little damage except for blowing holes in the modified bodies of several strange tanks.
Rushing all the way to the vicinity of the trench, the body was lowered, and the body pushed the sand on the ground, starting to emit puffs of black smoke, and the sand flooded towards the trench like a wave!
In the frightened shouts of the YLK people, the trenches were completely submerged directly by the sand that was pushed in! Counterattack?
Let's fuck get out of the sand first!!
Now the YLK people finally know what this strange tank is for! This is to use a bulldozer to fill in the entire trench with sand!
This is a desert area, although it is not a lack of grass, but there is really no shortage of sand....
Some of the frightened YLK people jumped out of the trench and ran towards the rear, but they didn't go far before they were smashed to pieces by the guns of the helicopter gunships in the sky.
Seeing the tragic situation of his companions, the YLK people behind could only retract again.
The battlefield is so cruel, no matter how you choose, you will die, nothing more than early death and late death, but everyone wants to live a little longer, as long as these strange tanks are killed!
There is no time on the battlefield to slowly figure out what to do, what is the use of the frightened YLK people, machine guns, grenades, RPGs, AT-5......
These strange tanks adjust their direction on their own, allowing the hull to be splashed by machine gun sparks, allowing the high-explosive warhead RPG to blow a hole in the bulletproof grille, and the bulldozer tank seems to be a ruthless machine, adjusting the angle and pushing the sand straight along the trench!
The sand that was pushed up did not increase and eventually it could not be pushed, and it was all sprinkled into the trench with a width of more than a meter.
Bury alive!!!
The trenches that the YLK people had worked so hard to dig in the desert were gone, and as for the losses of the American army..... Do a dozen modified tanks count?
Traditional tactics of using trenches against tanks, such as attacking the bottom with explosives from below, such as blowing up tracks or something, are not used at all.
These days, when it was learned through reconnaissance planes and special operations teams that the YLK people were digging trenches again, Norman was left with only sneering nostrils, this is a fucking desert, this is not fucking Shangganling, not Changjin Lake!
Not even as fucking the rainforest over there in Vietnam!
There's no bulldozer over there, and the tunnel tactics are invincible, but this is the fucking desert! The enemy you are facing is not Iran's kind of goods, we are the number one in the world.... One U.S. military! This kind of rigid tactic is to find death!
As early as the Iran-Iraq War, there was a staff committee in the Foot-Covering Building that conducted countless simulated battles, and the target was Iran, which was also YLK.
At the beginning, everyone could only use tanks to rush hard, and it was a big deal to bear some losses, saying that the bottom was just a single weapon, and it was possible to knock out dozens of tanks, but in the face of the charge of hundreds of tanks, it was nothing more than a loss of one or two percent of the load.
The loss of the U.S. army!
But slowly, one day, a staff officer Xu saw the construction site or a snowplow or something else, and suddenly wanted to use a bulldozer, and later replaced it with a modified tank bulldozer, and the effect was outstanding.....
Look at the battlefield, the arms stretched out in the trench are like a graveyard of the dead, there is no blood, no corpses, no gunsmoke, but I don't know why, just looking at it, it makes people feel chills.....
Even if it's a veteran of an old war
....
Salman, after several lines of defense in front were breached, American tanks and armored vehicles covered the army and drove into the town.
YLK is an important town in the southeast, with a population of 120,000....
The town is very large, mainly two-story buildings, it is rare to see any high-rise buildings, the stage is relatively wide, and there is no problem with two tanks passing in parallel.
Xu is front defense line was broken through too simply, so that the defenders of the city completely lost the will to resist. The gunfire was very loud, but the willpower was very weak, and he almost boasted as soon as he rushed, and surrendered directly.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, under the command of Lieutenant General Luck, the Western Route Army completely occupied Salman.
With a little rest, the Western Route Army will go straight to the Euphrates, and then completely cut off the retreat of 41 divisions and 540,000 men arranged by Silly Damu in Kuwait!
The advance of the Western Route Army was smooth, and the advance of the Central Route Army and the Eastern Route Army with the cooperation of the Navy was also not slow.
After completely occupying air superiority and knocking out almost all the effective air defense weapons of the YLK people, the US military unscrupulously used a large number of helicopter gunships for ground fire support, and the YLK people were defeated and retreated, and there was almost no power to fight back!
The results are remarkable!
At half past one o'clock in the afternoon, Silly Damu, who was far away in Baghdad, finally received accurate news from the front, which was sent by 'friends'. The accuracy of the message is much more accurate than that sent back intermittently from the front ....
Even the detailed tactics of the US military were fully displayed.
After seeing that the battle report said that the U.S. military used a tank to modify a bulldozer and bury his army almost unscathed, Silly Damu sat down in his chair with a stupid face.
Not to mention stupid big trees, even other countries within the coalition are also dumbfounded.
A lot of times it's a problem of thinking inertia, not that this thing is advanced, but thinking inertia that everyone can't think of being so easy to solve!
Anyway, since then, the concept that tunnel warfare in desert areas is a pit has left a .........
The most painful thing is Silly Damu, who pressed all the treasures that delayed the US military into the rolling yellow sand of YLK! Otherwise, do you expect to use street fighting to delay the pace of the US military?
As long as it can be close to the highway and ensure logistics and transportation, then the US military is invincible!
But now, as soon as the bulldozer tactics came out, Silly Damu's plan was completely frustrated. Finished!
It's just that Silly Damu is really unwilling to fail like this! He also has the ability to fight back!
He's got Scuds!
Of course, at this point the Scud will no longer be able to fight the Israelis .... The last bit of value in Israel has been drained.
Bombarding the U.S. military with missiles and intimidating the U.S. military with excess casualty figures.
After the Vietnam War, the whole world knew that Americans were afraid of too many casualties, which would cause anti-war *** and then make the government run for defeat!!
Now, there's only one way!
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the U.S. three-way army launched a new round of offensive again!
There were almost no casualties in the morning offensive, and in the case of the King of Land Battles, the YLK lost more than 1,200 tanks, while the entire coalition lost less than 20 vehicles!
A bulldozer is not a tank, how can it be a tank without a gun!
The so-called third military power in the world with high morale, ha, is like a girl covered with a thin veil, as long as you grab her, pull her, and tear it gently and forcefully....
Zila.....
All that's left is to go in and out, whatever you want!! --
At 3 p.m., the U.S. offensive was in full swing.
The stupid big wood who is unwilling to fail has his hole cards offered!
It makes sense that the Scud can be active until 30 years later, and this ballistic missile that can be pulled and run at any time is really useful. The layout is flexible and can be used as you go.
The ruthless stupid Damu didn't care too much this time, and took out the special incendiary warhead that he had just picked up by "luck" a few days ago.
Don't ask how stupid Damu can have such an illegal warhead, after Ah San announced that he had a nuclear bomb, the Pakistanis picked up the nuclear bomb the next day..
...
The Pakistanis can pick it up, but I can't pick it up stupidly? Don't ask, it's a coincidence to ask!
Of course, Silly Damu didn't think about hitting it all at once. The nuclear bomb that is not dropped is the most threatening!
····.·.
Here, six Scud Bs have just risen to the stratosphere, and on the other side, the American military satellite has detected it, and in an instant the information is transmitted to the US military base in Saudi Arabia!
As soon as the information arrived, the commander of the missile unit who received the news gave an order, and the Patriot missile, which had been in a firing state, immediately entered the stage of preparation for launch!
Be sure to complete the interception mission!
It took only three minutes to prepare for the launch, and the Patriot missile completed all the preparations, and the military satellite network cooperated with the ground-based anti-missile radar system to complete the calculation and locking of the Scud's flight trajectory.
At the moment of completing the lock, 18 Patriot missiles quickly rose into the air and accelerated wildly, and the speed soon exceeded Mach 3!
Each Scud is assigned 3 Patriot missiles to intercept, so be sure not to let a single missile fall on the heads of our troops! In the hearts of the American military, nothing is more precious than the life of a soldier!!
What are human rights?
More than 40 kilometers away, in broad daylight, above the head of the army, several suns appeared in a row, and then there was a rain of fire, six scuds, none of which could break through the defense line!
Then when Silly Damu bombed the Israelis before, why didn't the Americans help intercept it? Did the Americans calculate the Israelis?
Sean: Of course not! The truth is that it is impossible to intercept!
What is the concept of a Scud with a range of about 400 kilometers and a maximum flight duration of 350-400 seconds? That is, it takes a maximum of 7 minutes for the Scud to go from firing and ignition to landing and exploding.
In order to complete the interception, the first thing is to have military satellites all over the world, and at the very least, they must be hung right above the enemy's head to ensure that the enemy's missiles can be detected after reaching a certain altitude.
And from ignition to reaching a certain height, it takes a little acceleration and time!
To complete the second point of interception, it is necessary for the anti-missile system to cooperate in calculating the travel route and landing point of the opponent's missile, which takes time.
Finally, it is also necessary to have interception missiles just near the landing point of the opponent's missile, and complete the launch preparation, locking, missile launch, interception at an altitude of 25,000-10,000 meters, and it takes time for your own missile to complete the acceleration!
The golden hour is only three or four minutes!
The U.S. military detected the YLK scuds and went to Jaffa, but the U.S. Patriot was thousands of kilometers away from Jaffa, and the Patriot had a range of only 60 kilometers.
Can't catch up, no tricks at all!
This is only terminal interception, the other side is using a conventional warhead, if it is a nuclear warhead, then it must be detonated in space with a mid-range interception....
The technical requirements are endless!
The city is the first country in the world that can play with anti-missile systems, and Lao Maozi is the first to intercept at the end, the United States is second, and China is third. Mid-range interception, the United States first, China second!
Other countries .... Hehe!
