1501 The drums of war are beating, the east wind is ready to blow
"Are the Americans crazy? Do they really think that such a huge fighter aircraft group can break through Baghdad's defense?" Saddam's face turned pale.
He never expected that for such a situation, although Liu Suxue and Hashem had both advised him before, the Americans would take crazy revenge.
"Yes, Mr. President, the Americans are now as crazy as they are flying towards us, all fighter jets from Turkey and other regions... Even if our defense is tight, it is difficult to defend against such large-scale attacks. Once American fighter jets carry out such an attack a few more times..." The person who passed the message obviously did not dare to continue.
Once Baghdad's defense is broken through, the entire Iraq will basically be over.
"Go to the command center! If they want to go crazy, let's accompany them to go crazy!" Saddam's face was obviously not good-looking.
The underground command center is obviously the safest place in the Iraqi capital.
The dense air defense firepower is difficult to deal with a large number of attacks.
"With this kind of attack in the United States, the first thing that will be to attack Baghdad's radar station and interception command center, and at the same time, it will also attack communication systems and power generation equipment... Most ground attack aircraft will revolve around these important targets..." The president soon arrived at the underground command center, and the whole atmosphere is now solidified. "And the Americans' attack this time obviously no longer considers the casualties of civilians!"
Such inferences made everyone take a breath.
"Roll out the air defense alarm, the best level of alert! How long does it take for their attack?" Saddam gritted his teeth and looked at the dense red dots on the screen.
There are too many red dots on it.
"There are 48 minutes left! There is still time." Hashem said to the president, "but our underground air defense facilities are not enough to meet the people of Baghdad at present..."
This is a very serious question.
Since Saddam became Iraq's highest dictator in the 1970s, Baghdad has been constantly building underground air defense facilities, but not much energy has been invested before.
It was not until he finally fired missiles with Iran that Khomeini's men brought back a large number of 8208 missiles from China that Saddam became scared.
After all, although these missiles cannot exceed too many ranges, they are all launched by maneuver. If the Iranians adopt the "three bombs to two bombs" plan according to the Iraqi model, they can also be launched into Baghdad.
Therefore, at the end of the war, Baghdad not only worked hard to build their defense systems, but also worked hard to build various air defense facilities underground.
This is the center of the entire Iraq.
"Americans will not be sad and crazily bombard our civilian residential areas, and give priority to government departments and military families!" Saddam did not care much about civilians. Although his work has been done well over the years, it was Liu Suxue's persuasion effect.
Hashem turned to arrange this matter, and Liu Suxue said nothing.
In his heart, Baghdad was completely finished.
Anyway, they have arranged a way out.
"Now, how should we deal with it?" Saddam was really panicked in the face of such an attack.
Liu Suxue told him before that the Americans would launch crazy revenge, but he simply thought that it was impossible. Under such circumstances, the Americans could not attack the entire army, and even mobilized all ground attack aircraft to attack Baghdad.
The facts are right in front of you.
"If the United States did not launch strategic missiles from its homeland, we would not defend against such an attack. The problem is not too big. They cannot continue to bomb. Once they launch missiles from its homeland..." Liu Suxue clearly learned through his intelligence network that the American strategic missiles were about to reach outer space.
Baghdad does not have a radar that can detect outer space targets.
"In this way, we can only be passively beaten? Just watch the Americans bomb our capital, and then..." Saddam's slap was heavily on the desk.
He could not tolerate such an outcome.
Outside, the sky above Baghdad was once again shrouded in the shrill air defense sirens. Baghdad, which had been calm for two days, became noisy again.
After the war was going on like this for several days, many people have become accustomed to it.
Government departments and areas close to military bases have solid underground air defense facilities, and there are also a large number of air defense facilities in ordinary residents' gathering areas.
These air defense facilities were all opened at this time. According to previous experience, Baghdad people took valuable materials and food and water toward the nearby air defense facilities in an orderly manner.
Many people in civilian areas, even government departments, do not have air defense facilities.
They have sufficient confidence in Baghdad's defense.
At this time, all the troops had entered a state of combat readiness, and the anti-aircraft guns on each position had begun to quickly raise the muzzle so that the range could be reached to the farthest during the first wave of counterattack, so that they could defend against invading enemy aircraft at a longer distance.
The anti-aircraft machine gun position has also entered a standby state. Under the current circumstances, all Iraqi soldiers have already had sufficient experience and there is no need for their commanders to make more instructions.
This is their last position.
Once defense is insufficient, the entire Baghdad will become ruins.
Especially Iraq's air defense missile forces, at this time, whether it is medium and long-range air defense missiles or short-range air defense missiles, all missiles are completely on standby.
As long as the soldier presses the launch button, these missiles will head towards the distant target.
Tension and depression, such an atmosphere began to permeate Baghdad.
At this time, many of the officers' families were unwilling to enter the air defense facilities, and even the families of key government members were unwilling to do so, but there were persuasion from relevant security personnel.
In civilian areas, many people were reluctant to go to air defense facilities at first. After all, the previous wars made them know that their capital was able to withstand attacks. The air defense alarms were always sounding, without any stopping trend, and no gunfire sounds, and even less explosions.
Some people in the air raid shelter want to come out to see the situation, while many people outside feel the development and change of the situation and want to enter the air raid facilities.
This made all the passages entering the air defense facilities crowded, and the air defense facilities themselves were insufficient and chaos began to spread.
"Woo..." The shrill air defense sirens were getting louder and louder. American fighter planes had entered Iraq's territory, and the airspace of Baghdad was not too far away.
"Order Sam-2 missile launching position to intercept the opponent's range within our range, and shoot all the missiles out!" Saddam knew very well that if he couldn't stand the first wave, there would be no chance for those behind him.
"It's ready!" Hashem reported to the president, "After they enter range, at a distance of 120 kilometers, our Andromeda defense system radar locks them, and will launch all long-range missiles as soon as possible!"
"Order the Dongfeng troops to target all important targets of the US military!" At this time, Saddam had decided that even if Baghdad was bombed, he would have to retaliate against the US military as soon as possible.
He cannot defeat the US military, at least, he can cause heavy losses to the US military.
"President, that's our last killer weapon!"
"We have to use our killer weapon at this time, otherwise, if the US military discovers our launch position, these missiles will not work at all. As long as their strategic missiles attack us and face our targets, we must also use strategic missiles to attack their targets!" Liu Suxue, who was on the side, felt relieved again.
Dongfeng, this was secretly sold to Iraqis by the Ninth Yuan of China, and the world does not know.
After all, only Saudi Arabia's east wind knows the whole world.
After Iraq invaded Kuwait, the Saudi royal family let their Dongfeng missile forces broadcast nationwide live broadcasts.
This can effectively appease their people and tell them that Saudi Arabia can effectively resolve Iraq and that if Saddam wants to provoke a war, their huge missile forces will directly razed Baghdad to the ground.
Iraq's east wind is the most likely to cause serious consequences to the Ninth Academy and even the Chinese military.
"We cannot effectively defend their strategic missiles. Can they defend our strategic missiles? We cannot attack the United States, but we can strike their front-line command! Saudi Arabia provides so many bases for the US military, we must tell them that we have the ability to kill them! All the east winds, aim at Khalid Military City!" It was not that Saddam did not want to destroy the Saudi capital Riyadh, but that he had to attack the Americans at this time.
The conflict between Saudi Arabia and them is not that deep.
"Mr. President, why don't we take advantage of the present and take the initiative and use the east wind to attack their headquarters first?" Liu Suxue said.
The scope of King Khalid Military City is not very large, and it is impossible to kill them easily without a few.
There are a large number of US military personnel there.
Especially their senior officials, through satellites, they can clearly see the many military targets over there.
"Now?" Saddam asked with a frown, "Can the attack be useful now?"
