The second day of the year has become much less suspense.

Although the B-2 failed, the tactical bombing of the US military was not affected. When the Iranian air force lost its combat capability and the remaining air defense system must be used for air defense in key areas, the US military expanded the scale of tactical bombing. On the 27th, the US military dispatched 1,784 combat aircraft, threw 26,411 tons of ammunition, and destroyed the remaining tactical targets. In just one day, the US military gained battlefield air supremacy.

The combat efficiency of the US military is indeed second to none.

Although the Republic Air Force also took several hours to seize air supremacy in the Fourth India-Pakistan War, the premise was that the Pakistani Air Force seriously consumed the combat capabilities of the Indian Air Force. During the East China Sea War, the Republic Air Force finally seized air supremacy in two-stage combat operations, and its combat efficiency was far less than that of the US military.

Successfully seizing air supremacy does not mean winning.

On the 27th, the US ground forces stationed in Iraq began to advance towards the border areas, and the amphibious expeditionary forces also entered the Persian Gulf and prepared to carry out amphibious landing operations.

The mobilization of US ground forces was immediately discovered by reconnaissance satellites from the Republic and Russia.

Surprisingly, NN and other American TV stations made a comprehensive report on the US military's mobilization, and the military reporter also interviewed some US military officers and soldiers.

There is no doubt whether the US military will launch a ground war. The outside world is concerned about when the US will launch a ground war.

According to the "tradition" of the US military, ground war will not be launched until the air strike operation achieves decisive results. With Iran's defense strength, it will take at least 15 days for the US military to complete the air strike, destroy the resistance of the Iranian army, and then the ground attack.

"Military experts" in the mainland, including Zhang Xingcheng, conducted a comprehensive analysis of the US military's ground-based and air strikes.

After the war began, the first phase of the US military and local air strikes mainly target important military targets in Iran, such as command centers, communication centers, air defense positions, military airports, etc.; it will also target strategic targets in important areas, such as television stations, broadcast centers, residences of national leaders, important material warehouses, ammunition warehouses, etc.; under normal circumstances, the first phase of the air strikes will last 24 hours to hours.

After the first stage of air strike is over, the second stage of air strike will turn to important tactical targets, such as military assembly sites, defensive positions, artillery positions, etc.; at the same time, bombing traffic targets that must be passed by the military's mobility. For example, railway stations, inland river ports, bridges and tunnels, etc.; sometimes, the second stage of air strike will be carried out simultaneously with the first stage of air strike. According to the actual situation, the duration is between several days and dozens of days.

After completing the second stage of air strike, the enemy's ground defense forces basically lose their maneuverability. At this time, the third stage of air strike is the main enemy's main combat equipment. For example, tanks, self-propelled artillery, anti-aircraft guns, air defense missile launchers, etc.; assist in the attack on the enemy's national infrastructure. For example, urban ground defense facilities, material warehouses, power stations, etc.; the third stage of air strike will not last too long. It will often be carried out simultaneously with ground attack to enhance the strike effect.

According to Zhang Xingcheng's analysis, when the US military will launch a ground attack, it is directly related to the progress of the second phase of the aerial strike.

Starting from the 27th, the US military's ground-air strike has entered the second phase.

The battle situation also entered a white-hot state at this time.

Unlike previous tactics, the US military used very limited GPS-guided munitions when fighting tactical targets, and more "traditional" guided weapons, especially laser and television-guided munitions. The US military has no other way. The Iranian military is equipped with a ground GPS-guided munitions not only small in size, but also has a large coverage. Before finding an effective solution, the combat effectiveness of the US military's ground GPS-guided munitions is very limited.

In this case, both sides will have to "fight".

Although the long-range air defense system has been severely damaged, Iran still has many maneuverable medium- and short-range air defense systems, especially the "Red Flag 11" medium- and short-range air defense missile system that can be accompanied by mechanized troops.

At noon on the 27th, Iran announced that it had shot down at least 13 US combat aircraft, all of which were the results of air defense missiles.

In the evening of that day, Iran announced the shooting down of eight US fighter jets, 7 of which were the results of air defense missiles, and only one was shot down by anti-aircraft artillery.

The US Air Force announced on 130 ET on the 27th (23:00 Tehran time), announcing that it had lost a total of 6 combat aircraft on that day, including 3 crashed in Iran, 2 crashed in the Persian Gulf, and 1 crashed in Iraq.

There is a significant gap in the results announced by the two sides, which is not surprising.

In the report submitted by the Military Intelligence Bureau to the head of state, it was mentioned that during the day of the 27th, the US military lost a total of 18 combat aircraft, including 9 manned combat aircraft, namely 2f-15e, 1 f-16c, 2f/a-18c, 2f/a-18e, 1 f/a--18f and 1 f-35c, and the other 9 were unmanned aircraft. The wreckage of the "Preater" has been confirmed, and the wreckage of the 5 unmanned aircraft has not been confirmed.

Iran also counted the drone as the result of the war, while the United States did not calculate the drone, and both sides intentionally exaggerated (reduced) the result (loss).

Compared with previous combat operations, the US military could lose all day and earth during the 27th.

To describe it as big”.

Including the 7 fighter jets lost during the day on the 26th, and the B-2 and 3 fighter jets lost at night on the 26th, by the evening of the 27th, the US military lost a total of 20 combat aircraft!

You should know that after the Gulf War, the US military lost less than 20 combat aircraft in the wars!

Although the US military's losses are nothing compared to the results achieved, this huge loss is still worthless for the US military, which claims to be the world's number one.

During the day of the 27th, the US military suffered heavy damage to more than a dozen Iranian Army and Revolutionary Guard Divisions deployed in Khuzestan Province and southern Iranian provinces. Among them, the two armored divisions and one Revolutionary Guard Panzer Division stationed in Avas lost nearly 60% of their armored forces, which was equivalent to losing combat capabilities.

The U.S. Naval Air Force focused on bombing Iranian naval warships and naval bases anchored in the port, and achieved the record of sinking three frigates, 8 missile speedboats and 22 gunboats, paralyzing naval bases and large ports including Abbas Port, Chahbahar Port, Bushere Port, Khomeini Port and Abadan Port, destroying the 8-shore defense anti-ship missile launch positions and destroying 12 battalions of shore defense anti-ship missile forces.

On the evening of Tehran time on the 27th, a video of a captured American pilot "repentance" to the world appeared on the Internet.

It was later confirmed that the US pilot who appeared in the video belonged to the Tactical Fighter Brigade of the US Navy Air Force (stationary aircraft carrier Stannis). He flew the F/A-18e into Iranian airspace on the same day for a bombing mission, and then lost contact with the troops.

In the video, the captured US military officers not only admitted to "invading" Iran, but also called on US military officers and soldiers to make war orders.

Immediately, the entire online world was in full swing.

A spokesperson for the US White House and Pentagon immediately came forward to condemn Iran, accusing Iran of violating the Geneva International War Convention and treating prisoners with inhumane means, requiring Iran to strictly abide by international conventions, ensure the basic human rights of prisoners of war, and provide the most basic respect and survival guarantees for prisoners of war.

Iran is just trying to hit the morale of the US military when he is making a fuss about prisoners of war.

After the White House and the Pentagon issued statements successively, the Iranian national spokesperson also issued a statement, in addition to continuing to call on Muslims all over the world to deal with the "common enemy of the Islamic world" in various ways and means, it also condemns the United States for launching a war of aggression and declares that the United States will inevitably pay a heavy price for this.

On the same day, US President Frederick also hoped that the head of republic and the Russian president could put pressure on Iran so that Iran could effectively ensure the safety of life and humane treatment of captured U.S. military personnel.

Perhaps, the US president's actions will make many people think that the US military is "fearing death".

But from another perspective, the US president's approach just shows that American society attaches great importance to "life" and cares for soldiers. For the sake of several captured soldiers, a president of a country can put aside his pride and asks for help from other countries. In addition to the elements of playing, it is definitely worthy of respect and learning from any country.

Both Zhao Rundong and Russian President Nedmev said they would do their personal efforts to exert influence on the Iranian president.

The war did not stop because of a few prisoners of war. On the night of the 7th, US fighter planes were dispatched more frequently and the bombing intensity suddenly increased.

There is no way to do this. When you have to use "traditional guided ammunition", the night is the best cover.

That night, in addition to using tactical cruise missiles to continue to attack strategic goals of large and medium-sized cities in Iranian hinterland such as Tehran, Accra, Hamadan, and Rasht, the US military focused on tactical targets in Khuzestan Province and surrounding areas.

The one who suffered the most tragic blow was Avas, the capital of Khuzestan.

All night, Avas was shrouded under the barrage of anti-aircraft guns. Although anti-aircraft guns have very limited value in modern air defense operations, according to post-war statistics, Iranian air defense forces consumed 10,000 anti-aircraft guns to shoot down a US fighter jet, but in air defense operations, anti-aircraft guns can still have a very large psychological deterrence to pilots on the ground performing tactical bombing missions, and sometimes force the pilots to give up the bombing operation.

The main force in air defense is still the mobile deployment of medium and short-range air defense missiles.

The Iranian army fully learned the lessons of the Iraqi army in the Gulf War and Iraq War (after the Iraq War ended, some Shia Iraqi soldiers fled to Iran and taught a lot of experience to the Iranian army). Not only did they not concentrate on deploying air defense systems in the suburbs, but they also built air defense positions in the urban area.

What really survives Iranian air defense forces is the progress brought about by technology.

Taking the "Red Flag 11" air defense missile system as an example, the missile and tracking and irradiation radar are centrally deployed on the same tracked chassis. In extreme cases, it can be fought separately without the assistance of search radar. That is to say, a car is a set of air defense systems. When adopting the "fight and run" tactic, it is difficult for the US military to deal with such air defense systems that are inhabited in the streets and alleys of the city.

On the second night of the war, Avas ushered in the first "Sleepless Night". (To be continued,)
