1472 The largest tactical missile attack in history
In Baghdad, with the president's orders issued, all troops were on standby.
In particular, the 8208 missile is placed on many unknown secret positions in Baghdad. Even when facing air strikes, they are required not to move.
After receiving the order, they will launch a retaliation against the US military, all positions will be operated quickly.
The satellites in the sky continuously conveyed the movements of the 24th U.S. Army's 24th Infantry Division to the command center, and the command center continued to provide relevant missile launch positions.
The camouflage net on the missile launcher was lifted at 5:30 in the morning, and at this time, the sky was already slightly bright.
With the commander's order, the launch frames behind these missile launchers began to be quickly erected, and the ammunition truck and construction vehicles also entered the state behind. As long as the missiles on the front missile launchers are launched, the construction vehicles can quickly load the spare missiles on the ammunition truck on the front launchers and continue to strike the target.
"Boss, can we use so many missiles? Can the Americans withstand such high-density strikes?" Nuhaib's coordinates have been input into the missile launch command vehicle. According to the command's combat plan, the first wave of strikes will launch 128 missiles from 4 missile launch positions at the same time!
All the targets of these hundreds of missiles are concentrated in Nuhaibu's 24th Mechanical and Budding Division!
Liu Suxue's attitude was very obvious. At the beginning of the war, he tried his best to swallow the 24th US Army's 24th MFA Division and crippled this force, making the Americans even more crazy. In this way, the United States could fall into the quagmire of the Iraq War and make them lose the energy to care about affairs in Southeast Asia and the Pacific region.
We won’t be too much energy to find trouble in China because we have no opponents.
If the affairs in the Middle East are not handled clearly, the entire United States will be seriously affected.
Oil is indispensable to the United States.
The oil crisis has hit the US economy very severely. Otherwise, they would not want to control the oil in the Middle East.
Many American generals believed that their victory in the Panama War allowed the US military to regain confidence. In fact, they themselves were also unsure. During the Panama War, the dictator Noriega had only a few thousand troops under his command, and his equipment was also poor. How much confidence can the US military use a slaughter to kill a chicken?
After World War II, the US military has not won the war.
Liu Suxue's purpose is to make the confidence of the US military be hit again.
Otherwise, he would not have made such great efforts.
The United States became the world hegemon after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Gulf War...
"Shut up! Just launch the missile as required by superiors!" The commander scolded the officers under his command.
What he was more worried about was the ordinary people in Nuhaib.
He knows the power of the warheads installed on these missiles better than anyone else.
Although there are not many people in Nuhaib.
"Battery Commander, where is our target? Based on the map and coordinate comparison, it seems Nuhaib..." a second lieutenant asked the commander.
The commander looked at him and his mouth twitched, because he remembered that the lieutenant under him seemed to be from Nuhab.
"Moroko, your parents are in Nuhab?" the commander asked the lieutenant.
The lieutenant nodded with a worried look on his face, "My parents, brothers and sisters are all in Nuhaib. Our missiles, the power of hundreds of warheads, can razed the entire town to the ground. I am very worried about them..."
"Before the US military occupied, most of the people in the entire town were evacuated with our troops. We were highly confidential units, but as military families, they would be given priority evacuation and resettlement. The president would not disappoint all of us, right?"
Although he was the commander of this position, the battalion commander did not know the situation outside.
They had already cut off contact with the outside world for a long time before the war began.
The President personally issued an order that the division headquarters of the 24th Mass Infantry Division of the US Army and their aviation combat brigade were all in Nuhaib, and it has even been turned into a material transfer station and logistics supply station for the US invasion of Iraq!
"I hope they can be fine!" The lieutenant's worried expression relaxed a little.
Time passes very slowly in the tense waiting.
There are almost few people in Baghdad who can fall asleep on such a night.
Many missile positions were busy preparing, but after they were ready, they found that there were more than ten minutes left before the launch time. They had nothing to be busy with.
This situation is not only in Baghdad, but also in Basra.
After the war began, Basra, the second largest city in Iraq, was also bombed.
Fortunately, the US Air Force only bombed their military facilities.
Therefore, the hidden missile launcher was not attacked.
Basra has arranged three missile launch positions, just like Baghdad, each position is based on battalion. Although the 8208 missile was improved based on the Hongqi 2 air defense missile, due to the improvement of a lot of things, the original Hongqi 2 air defense missile was originally a battalion from six launch frames, 24 missiles turned into 16 launch frames, and 32 missiles. A guide station has not changed much.
However, with the development of computer technology and guidance technology in China, the performance of guidance stations is much more advanced than the previous Hongqi 2 guidance stations.
"Is the missile launch position ready?" Liu Suxue has never slept, and even took a nap.
Since Saddam agreed to retaliate against the United States, he has not been asleep.
He needs to make sure these missiles are fired out.
Liu Yijiu sold too many 8208 missiles. Although this matter was transferred through other countries, it may eventually cause trouble for China.
In just the first wave, more than four hundred missiles will attack dozens of different targets.
For a longer range, the warhead of the 8208 missile was reduced from 500 kg of the M7 type to 300 kg. The range was increased from 200 kilometers to 250 kilometers. This is not much different from the Scud missile.
"After preparing, as long as the time comes, all missiles will be launched at the same time!" Hashem was not sleeping either.
He was worried about the Americans' reaction after this blow.
Now it's an arrow on the string and I have to fire it.
"Don't worry, as long as the Americans are so big that they can't bear it, they dare not continue to march..." Liu Suxue licked his dry lips. "Perhaps, we should attack their aircraft carrier at the same time!"
"Don't do this. Liu, I'm timid!" Hashem couldn't help but brow when he heard Liu Suxue's story.
Such a thing is really too fatal.
Liu Suxue looked at him and curled his lips, "If you don't fight, the Americans will not let it go. Because we killed 27 of their most advanced fighter jets, and at the same time, 9 of them crashed into the border area. It is hard to say whether those seven have escaped back..."
F117 is really not durable enough.
How much vibration will this cause if the most advanced stealth aircraft of the Americans be beaten down like garbage?
Hashem was speechless for a moment.
The waiting time passes very slowly.
However, the time still points to Baghdad time at about 6 o'clock.
"Didi..." The sharp whistle suddenly cut through the tranquility on various positions.
The commander blew the whistle while waving the small red flag in his hand.
The grassroots officers and soldiers who were already ready to press the launch button held their breath.
Around them, more than a dozen missile launchers pointed obliquely at the sky's 8208 surface-to-ground missiles, standing quietly on the launchers.
And in missile launch positions that need to strike the moving 24th Mechanical Infantry target, the launch command vehicle is rapidly entering strike coordinates.
The satellites in the sky are constantly transmitting the other party's mobile data back.
"emission!"
As President Saddam was awakened, he issued a brief order to all bases at the underground combat command center, eight missile launch positions around the Iraqi capital Baghdad, as well as three missile launch positions in Basra, a total of 352 8208 missiles with a range of 250 kilometers were ignited from the launch frame at the same time and flew towards the target.
"Boom!" The engine of the tail of the missile ignites, and then produces a roar. The huge thrust makes the missile on the launch frame slowly fly towards the front. As the flames at the tail become more and more blazing, the flight speed is getting faster and faster...
"Woo..." A shrill air defense sirens suddenly sounded, which made the 24th Mechanical and Infantry Division headquarters, which was preparing for the attack, confused.
"What's going on?" Hearing the shrill air defense alarm, James, who had just lie down with his clothes for a while, suddenly turned over and asked the orderly soldiers beside him.
The orderly soldiers were also confused.
A staff officer entered the division commander's room with a panic expression, not even the door was knocked on.
"Teacher Commander, no, Iraqi Scud missiles are coming..."
"Where is our Avengers air defense system?" James was furious.
Since the Iraqi Air Force suffered heavy losses last night, the 24th Infantry Division's air defense force was required to open fire at any time.
Now they are about to set off to encounter Iraqi Scud missile attacks, which is a completely unforgivable mistake for them.
"A bunch of waste!" James walked out quickly.
Chapter completed!
