Chapter 892 The tough battle has just begun

The slam drop of the electronic warfare aircraft of the ec-130h "Compass Call" also indicates that the entire attack formation of the multinational forces will end. After all, the ec-130h has always played the role of an electronic umbrella. Without this umbrella, conventional fighter jets are tantamount to becoming the living target of the newly formed Iraqi "Falcon" surface-to-air missile force.

So after solving the easy-to-attack b52h strategic bomber group and the blind and aggressive ec-130h fighter jets, the sharp eyes of the Falcon can lock on the 12 F-15c fighter jets responsible for escorting. However, this time, the Falcon air defense missile system did not show its sharp eagle claws again, but left the opportunity to the Sam 2 and Sam 3 air defense missiles in joint combat.

Although US fighter jets have long been equipped with airborne jamming systems to deal with these two air defense missiles, the Sam 2 and Sam 3 air defense missiles integrated and optimized by Lu Jiadong and others have undergone a complete transformation after being embedded in the command and combat system of the "Falcon" air defense missile system.

From locking, guidance to the last command attack, all are completed by the radar network of the "Falcon" air defense system deployed on the ground. Sam 2 and Sam 3 only need to complete all flights according to the predetermined commands, and start the warhead on time after finally approaching the target.

At best, the interference equipment of US fighter jets can only cut off the signal communication between two Soviet-made air defense missiles and original radars, but it has no effect on the networking of the "Falcon" radar that has been reprogrammed by Lu Jiadong. In addition, the 12 F-15c fighter jets responsible for escorting have already entered the firing range of the "Falcon" surface-to-air missile force around the 2nd Strategic Bomber Wing.

So the entire squadron's F-15 fighter jets were so tragic. Two minutes after the 2nd Strategic Bomber Wing was destroyed, seven F-15 fighters were shot down by the dense Sam3 missiles. When the ec-130h fighter jet was volleyed by the "Falcon" air defense missile that suddenly came,

Six Sam2 air defense missiles were once again 4 F-15s that did not escape in the future were overturned to the ground. Only one of them was quick to react and rushed to force and escaped from the attack radius of the Falcon surface-to-air missile troops. However, because the engine was overpowered for too long, the pilot was too nervous and made an operation error. He just skipped Iraq and entered Saudi Arabia, and then he ran into the desert, destroying the plane and killing people...

In this way, the entire squadron's escort formation was wiped out in just a few minutes. At this point, the bombing attack group with the 2nd Strategic Bomber Wing as the core completely became a record of Iraq's air defense forces. When the news came back to the coalition command in Riyadh, all kinds of staff members were shocked.

Lieutenant General Schwartzkopf returned to China to report to President Bush, and Lieutenant General Jeni Hanks, who was temporarily in charge of command, was even more panicked and didn't know what to do for a moment. At this moment, Lieutenant General Hanks regretted that he could be called the core think tank of the coalition command. Christ, who had just been promoted to brigade general, sent to Baghdad to command the battle;

The Taiping General, who has been living in the Ministry of Defense and military academies, had no idea what to do when facing such a major emergencies, otherwise the powerful General Schwartzkopf would not have asked him to be the deputy commander-in-chief. So for more than an hour, Lieutenant General Hanks could only listen to a bunch of staff members quarreling, which made him look big and he couldn't make up his mind for many rounds......

In the end, the Chief of Staff Deputy Rear General Wallace's opinion was agreed by most people, that is, to inform Zhenghua of the destruction of the 2nd Strategic Bomber Wing as soon as possible! Ah! Ah! Ah! Admiral Schwartzkopf of the Dun, but even so, Admiral Schwartzkopf, who is thousands of miles away, could not accurately grasp the current rapidly changing situation. Even if he returns to the coalition command as quickly as possible, it would take seven or eight hours.

During this period, it is impossible for the coalition forces to respond without any response. At least they should take some emergency measures to reduce some of their own casualties. Because of this, after Major General Wallace received everyone's consent, a staff officer wearing a lieutenant colonel military academy said to Lieutenant General Hanks with heartache:

"Sir, just three minutes ago, we received a total of 26 pilots' distress signals. They were scattered in the deserts in southwestern Iraq, and they were bound to be extremely difficult, so I suggest that no matter what, these surviving pilots must be rescued first!"

"this........."

After hearing the lieutenant colonel's staff, Lieutenant General Hanks was a little hesitant, but before he could express his usual set of clichés, Wallace, the deputy chief of staff, frowned and said first:

"No, absolutely not. Haven't you been able to learn enough of the lessons learned in the few days of war? This time, the Iraqi air defense forces have made fierce offensives, and obviously have made sufficient preparations. If we rashly send a rescue fleet into the heart of Iraq, we may have been ambushed by them!"

Wallace's words made some staff members hesitate gradually. In the days when the war began, the Iraqi "Falcon" surface-to-air missile forces used several preset ambush cases launched by the surviving US pilots, which made the coalition forces still remember it fresh. Therefore, no one can guarantee that after suffering such a major loss, the Iraqis would not use the same trick again, and then have such an air defense guerrilla war.

But some people objected, some insisted that the most firm of this was Air Force Major General Smith, who was also the deputy chief of staff. In his opinion, nothing was more precious than the life of an air force pilot. Because of this, as soon as Major General Wallace finished speaking, Smith stood up:

"Ambushes, ambush, everything is ambush. Do we have to learn from an Iraqi counterattack to bury our heads in the sand? Don't forget that although Iraq's "Falcon" air defense missile system is powerful, it is still easily turned into scrap iron by us?"

"Then how do you explain Iraq's air defense counterattack? Is our aircraft configuration unreasonable, or is it not the coordination between each other? It's not that Iraqi air defense forces have once again applied new tactics and response methods, that is, they have adapted to our playing style this week. From this point of view, Iraqi air defense forces are indeed very strong..."

"If you always advocate that the enemy is strong, it can only show your inner fear..."

"Acknowledging that the enemy is powerful is nothing different from fear, not to mention that facing reality is not embarrassing..."

"After all the time, I'm still afraid. Since I'm afraid, I'll pack up my luggage and go back to my hometown. There is no need to be a cold-blooded general to the surviving comrades here..."

In the solid fortifications, Lu Jiadong took the telescope and glanced at the messy wreckage on the ground and the American pilot who was wailing. There was no joy on his face, but there was an indescribable regret, because the long-awaited coalition rescue team did not appear, and it was obvious that the coalition forces had begun to become cautious.

"It seems that the coalition rescue team is impossible to come." Major General Mohammed said with disappointment, and Lu Jiadong nodded:

"Yes, if you can't look forward to their rescue team, then there will be only the fight team. In this way..." As he said that, Lu Jiadong raised the telescope again, looked at the previous results through the lens meaningfully, gritted his teeth and sighed:
Chapter completed!
