1521 The 336 rocket launcher that disgraced the US military
The helicopter propeller rotates faster and faster, and the huge lift generated makes the dust on the ground rise high. Then, some helicopters began to shake off the ground, preparing to climb out of the ground and climb towards the sky.
"Woo..." Suddenly, a shrill air defense alarm sounded inside the entire base.
"Iraqi missile attack!" Before Brian could ask what was going on, the intelligence consultant reported to him eagerly.
"Where is the target?" Brian suddenly became a little anxious. "Why didn't our intelligence department find their missile launch position!"
"Our command, airport!"
The intelligence officer was unable to answer the division commander's question about why their intelligence agencies and satellite systems did not find the Iraqi missile launch positions.
Don't say he is not clear, the headquarters or even the Ministry of Defense are not clear.
No one knows where the Iraqi missile launch positions and their airports are.
From the very beginning, the US bombing of Iraq did not achieve the expected results.
"Order all the helicopters to take off!" Brian had no choice but to be a slap in his life.
"Teacher Commander, our armed helicopters are taking off, our other helicopters..." The staff officer wanted to say that it was too late to issue orders now.
When the pilots of the helicopter heard the air defense alarm, they should have already rushed towards their helicopters. No one can guarantee how many aircraft can fly before the Iraqi missile hit.
In the desert where helicopters were parked not far away, many soldiers rushed out of the surrounding marching tents. Some pilots even ran towards their helicopters without even putting on their flight helmets. On the air defense positions above the ground, the radar was running rapidly, and the air defense missile system was nervously preparing to launch.
The armed helicopters that had already left the ground instantly made the propeller spin faster, and some helicopters even rose directly from the ground.
Dozens of bright fireballs have appeared in the sky.
These fireballs continue to magnify and then fall toward the ground.
"boom!"
The first huge explosion landed on the positions where several helicopters had already been flying. The air waves caused by the explosion made the helicopters that had already flown for dozens of meters and shaking.
Experienced helicopter pilots struggle to control the aircraft to maintain balance.
A missile hit a helicopter propeller that had just flew up. The bright flame suddenly spread out to the surroundings. The propeller was blown up by violent explosion and flew around. One of the propellers even flew dozens of meters, directly penetrating the chest of a US military. The huge inertia still led the soldier to the side...
The helicopter without propellers also exploded in the air. The rocket artillery shells and missiles on the plane were affected by the explosion, making the entire explosion scene even more explosive.
Many parts splashed around at high speed, affecting the helicopters that had just taken off. A helicopter pilot was hit on the face by the parts of the plane that penetrated the windshield in front. His whole head turned and he went to see his Jesus Christ.
The pilot of the co-pilot wanted to control the plane to keep it stable, but he had no way to control the plane.
The plane fell directly like a kite with a broken line, towards the ground that was only a few dozen meters high.
"Boom!" The ah64 Apache attack helicopter full of weapons, ammunition and fuel fell to the ground and exploded violently...
In the sky, the helicopter, which was affected by the explosion of the helicopter at the beginning, flew further away.
There was a helicopter that had finally controlled its flight attitude and escaped from the impact of the explosion range. The pilot had just breathed a sigh of relief, but heard the exclamation of the pilot in the co-pilot next to him, "Steer! Turn! I'm about to bump into..."
Before the pilot could react, he ran into a cobra next to him, which was shaking by the explosion shock wave.
"Boom!" The huge fireball exploded in the air about thirty meters above the ground.
"Boom boom boom!"
Explosions on the ground were taking place, and dozens of armed helicopters that had already left the explosion range began to hover around.
Many of the transport helicopters on the ground were overturned by explosion shock waves as soon as they took off, or were hit by parts on the exploded helicopters...
When Brian saw the scene in front of him, he was going crazy.
"Order all armed helicopters to kill all the Iraqi equipment for me! Order the base logistics, launch rescue, and mobilize all air defense firepower to the ammunition depot!"
"Boom!" A violent explosion exploded when Brian just said he wanted to protect the ammunition depot.
A rocket shell landed on the parking position of an ammunition truck that was thousands of meters away from the headquarters.
The shells did not directly hit the ammunition truck, and the cloud bomb in the 336 rocket launcher warhead sucked the surrounding oxygen at the moment of explosion, and then generated thousands of degrees of high temperature to spread towards the surroundings. An ammunition truck more than 20 meters away from the explosion landing point passed by, when the high temperature passed, the tarpaulin on the cargo box instantly turned into ashes. The driver who had just climbed into the cab was scratching his throat, trying to inhale oxygen to make his lungs feel better, but at the high temperature, the whole person kept moving. The water on his body was instantly evaporated, and the whole person turned into a ball of black carbon, falling to the side.
"Boom!" Before the driver's body fell down, the ammunition behind the carriage exploded in the high temperature...
"Boom boom boom..."
The explosion continued, and the US military began to flee around, especially in these areas where the ammunition trucks were parked. The air defense machine guns kept roaring, and the air defense missiles kept flying towards the sky, but did not intercept too many targets.
This scene was completely recorded by the electronic command plane commanding air combat in the sky.
Through the satellite signal, it was transmitted to General David, who had not boarded the plane.
Everyone in the Ministry of National Defense who saw this scene was silent.
The Iraqis actually have so many long-range attack weapons.
This was a slap in the entire Ministry of Defense.
They spent huge amounts of money to build a missile defense system. The government purchased the stinger missiles equipped on the Avenger air defense system, which could not intercept the missile attack at all.
Even their Patriot missiles cannot intercept.
"Who can tell me where the Iraqis come from so many missiles?"
David roared.
In this wave of attacks, at least hundreds of missiles were carried out in saturation.
However, all this is not finished!
The first wave of explosions continued, and hundreds of targets appeared in the sky again, and the area was about to fall into the explosion.
The Iraqis are completely crazy and use expensive missiles for precise strikes as artillery shells and are saturating bombing of US troops.
"General, we must win this battle. The Iraqis are preparing to fight us. Once the 3rd Mechanical Infantry Division is completely wiped out, we can never fight this war!" a staff officer said gritting his teeth.
How come David didn't know?
But now, he has no way to rescue the 3rd maneuver.
"Let Brian avoid shelling!"
Brian was also roaring, asking his headquarters to evade.
There were numerous air defense weapons around the headquarters. He personally saw many Avenger missiles heading towards the fireballs in the sky, but he had no way to shoot down the fireballs or detonate the fireballs in the air.
The other party should not have found the exact location of the headquarters, otherwise there would not be no bombs falling into the area around the headquarters.
"Scatter and hide!" In this case, Brian could only make such an order.
Counterattack?
Frontline troops have exchanged fire, and the fighter jets in the sky are about to collide.
"Commander, the other party may have used a cloud bomb!"
The temperature around is rising rapidly, the air is becoming thinner and thinner, and even breathing is becoming more and more difficult.
Brian was stunned, and then his face changed drastically.
"Retreat this area!"
They know the power of the cloud bomb.
The Chinese once used cloud bombs against the Vietnamese, causing an elite Vietnamese army to completely destroy without entering the battlefield!
The United States also equipped this thing and brought a lot of it in this war.
As a senior officer, it is impossible for Brian to be unclear.
"Bring communication equipment, don't worry about anything else!" Brian roared and jumped into an armored command vehicle...
On the Iraqi 336 rocket artillery position, the first round of rocket artillery shells have been emptied.
The commander issued an order as soon as possible, ordering the loaders next to him to load the launch vehicle.
"Recharge!"
A crane was parked next to each launch vehicle, and a quantity of ammunition truck was parked next to the crane. These ammunition trucks were originally located at least a hundred meters apart. When the shelling was carried out here, they drove over.
The launch frame of the rocket launcher was flattened. Under the operation of the soldiers, the lifting mechanism on the construction vehicle lifted the long rocket on the ammunition truck and quickly loaded it into the opening at the bottom of the launch box.
A rocket entered the launch box, and the soldiers around quickly pushed the part still outside, and then sealed the ground...
"Boom!" On the northern line of the ground battlefield, the Dragon Guard tanks and the m1a2 tank cluster collided heavily.
The US tanks fired the first shell of the tank war.
And it's an armor-piercing bullet!
The huge recoil generated when the cannon is out of the bore, causing the tanks like m1a2, which weigh more than 60 tons, to vibrate.
Chapter completed!
