Volume 12 Prelude to the Great War Chapter 134 The Bombing Begins

On the morning of the Yuegu, the first combat unit's moving force came to Malatia to unload the old, Jik, and the tenth combat unit's main forces successively occupied Baskier between Malatia and Elazze, as well as Sivrij in the south of Elazze, and the deployment of attacking Malatia was basically in place.

Judging from this deployment, the main force is the first single combat, rather than the tenth combat unit that performed outstandingly before.

This is a reasonable arrangement. Because Siverek was not able to be defeated, when attacking Malatia, the issue of logistical support must be fully considered, so that the vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft of the tenth combat unit must be taken on the heavy responsibility of transporting combat materials. Influenced by the Torros Mountains, when attacking Malatia, the main force can only attack from south to north, and it is difficult to conduct large-scale roundabout encirclement. In this way, the first combat unit is better at ground attack to fight the main force in the south, and the tenth combat unit, who is good at air maneuvering, is responsible for the periphery, so that the two combat units can be used to defeat Malatia at the lowest cost.

At this time, the U.S. reinforcements had arrived in Malatia.

Duqiwei discovered a problem at the night of the jambs, that is, the individual combat brigade, which had previously rescued Huanmin in Nizipu, began to move westward. He took the initiative to reinforce the eighth combat unit. In the evening of that day, the strategic transport fleet of the Republic Air Force dropped approximately mutual stewed combat supplies at Bahce. All signs indicate that Pei Chengyi will not only not allow the eighth combat unit and the fifth combat unit to break through, but will also take this opportunity to rescue the eighth combat unit, and may even rescue the fifth combat unit. In other words, the Republic's army will be in two parties.

The problem is that Duqiwei has almost no choice but to do anything in the face of this situation. Although the sixth combat unit did not lose its combat effectiveness due to the flood, Duqiwei was very shocked, whether he could defend Malatia was the thing Duqiwei was most concerned about. In the absence of the sixth combat unit to attack Bakhe, Duqiwei could only let the US-Turkey coalition defend Malatia to death. In other words, if the sixth combat unit fails to defend Malatia after Bakhe rescued the siege, the US-Turkey coalition would completely lose the war.

In this case, Duchiwei had no choice but to let Siverek's US-Turk coalition break out to Maratia.

Of course, breakthroughs must be prepared.

Because before that, Duchway's order was to defend Siverek to the death, after he changed the order, the Old Thug Assault Division, the 2nd Infantry Division and the 2nd Infantry Division were unable to take action immediately. It was not until the morning of the old days, after the attacking troops of the First Combat Unit and the 10th Combat Unit were deployed, that he set out from Siverek and broke into the direction of Maratia.

There is no doubt that the US military's breakthrough operation was very difficult.

For the US military, the biggest enemy was not the Iraqi army on its position, but the long-range artillery of the Republic Army that was far away hundreds of kilometers away and could not be seen at all.

Because he was not very relieved about the Iraqi Defense Forces, when Yuan Chenhao adjusted his deployment, he left a reconnaissance battalion in the First Combat Unit, which was specifically responsible for providing artillery fire guidance for long-range artillery. More importantly, Yuan Chenhao clearly warned several commanders of the Iraqi Defense Forces not to underestimate the combat effectiveness of the US military, let alone show off his power. In other words, the best choice for the Iraqi army when encountering the US military is to call for artillery fire support. Because the main force of the First Combat Unit has been deployed and no longer needs artillery fire support. Therefore, when the US military broke through, the Artillery Brigade of the First Combat Unit immediately entered the battle, and all of them were put into battle.

The battle was in the afternoon of that day, the artillery brigade of the 10th combat unit also entered the battle.

It was not that the artillery brigade of the first combat unit was not enough, but that the ammunition of Fancheng was used up in one morning, and the artillery brigade of the tenth combat unit had to be allowed to participate in the battle.

As night came, the battle became more intense. Even the Republic Air Force sent combat planes.

At this time, the main force of the First Combat Unit and the Tenth Combat Unit also received the order. Regardless of whether the US military of Siverek can successfully break through, the First Combat Unit and the Tenth Combat Unit will launch an attack before dawn, and the only difference is the only direction to launch an attack.

There is no doubt that the decisive battle will break out between the old days and the mouths.

Because the combat missions had been arranged to the participating troops, all Pei Chengyi had to do was to wait patiently for the combat reports of each troops.

It can be said that on this absolutely uneasy night, Pei Chengyi is the calmest person. The new address of this site has been changed to: Sishan Ao plus 8 Si, please log in to read.

About the point of the lead point, Baghdad time shall prevail. Pei Chengyi received the first message from the front, that is, on the southern front, the combat operation to attack Shehba, commanded by Su Jinhui himself, was ready to be deployed, and the attack will officially begin in minutes.

The operation on the Southern Front is to restrain the US military and a signal that the decisive battle begins.

The communications consultant responsible for conveying information waited for about minutes and confirmed that Pei Chengyi had not adjusted the plan before soliciting the opinions of Dongfang Wen. Then he sent a signal that the battle operation began.

The bomber group that had been patrolling over the northwest of the Republic was the first to receive the order.

After the operation at the beginning of the war, the performance of the Republic's Air Force's strategic aviation was not very eye-catching. Although the bomber group dispatched several times in the old days of combat, performed about 40% of the strategic strike missions, and destroyed thousands of military targets and strategic facilities. Xiao Xunshen's ammunition sect became a blocking bombing mission of about Yuci, fighting in the field of tears. Ding played a very important role, but compared with previous wars and especially the Indian War, the performance of the Republic's Air Force's strategic aviation was indeed unsatisfactory.

The reason is that I encountered a stronger opponent.

From a tactical perspective, when fighting with world-class troops, the Republic's Air Force must consider the threat posed by the opponent's air control forces. You must know that until now, the Republic's Air Force has not won absolute air supremacy, and has not even defeated the opponent. Because strategic bombers are all deployed in domestic air bases, even if long-range air-fired cruise missiles are used, it will take several hours to reach the battlefield after the bomber takes off, and the US military has enough time

Adjusting air defense deployments can even organize interception forces, so when using strategic aviation, the Republic Air Force was very cautious. In addition to forbidding bombers to get close to the war zone, it also frequently adjusted the missile launch airspace and the flight routes of the bomber group. Even so, in the previous battles, the bomber group missed the danger several times. If it weren't for the excessive investment of tactical aviation, the Air Force would have grounded the strategic bomber group long ago.

From a strategic perspective, strictly limiting the scope of activities of strategic bombers is one of the necessary means to prevent the scale of war from expanding. In any case, strategic bombers are one of the main strategic strike forces of a country and the main target of surveillance for opponents. Even in peacetime, both sides of the Cold War will highly monitor the strategic bomber group of each other. Even providing a unique number for each strategic bomber of the other side, and arranging special personnel to be responsible. In other words, there are almost no secrets to the mobilization and activities of strategic bomber groups. In war, even if strategic bombers are allowed to carry out conventional combat missions with conventional ammunition, the intelligence agencies and strategic defense agencies of the other side are frightened. It can even be said that each take-off and landing of strategic bombers can cause unnecessary concerns. It is precisely this. The US authorities have also made extremely strict restrictions on the scope of use of strategic bombers.

Of course, using strategic aviation also has the benefits of using strategic aviation.

As strategic troops, not only do their usual activities strictly keep secret, but also often perform some secret tasks. In addition to the particularity of strategic bombing tactics, the officers and soldiers of the strategic aviation corps rarely care about the tasks they perform and do not have much curiosity. In their opinion, no matter what task they perform, what they have to do is to fly bombers to specific airspaces and fire the carried ammunition according to specific instructions.

Because the attack program is transmitted entirely through a tactical data network, the target of the attack program is determined by the attack program, the pilots of the strategic aviation force are not even very concerned about the object they are going to attack. Sometimes it is not necessary to know the object they need to attack.

In the words of some bomber pilots, with the advancement of technology, especially the advancement of automatic control systems based on military information networks, the main task of bomber pilots is not to fly bombers or throw ammunition, but to act as a "backup" of the bomber's automatic flight and combat system. That is, when the automatic control system fails, ensure that the bombing task is completed accurately. Because the bombing command is stored in a computer that is not incorporated into the military information network, after the automatic control system crashes, the pilot only needs to connect the computer to the bomber's backup information interface and set it to a closed-circuit control method. If this method does not work normally, the pilot will end the combat operation, fly the bomber back to the base, or eject it at a suitable location to escape.

In short, bomber pilots are more often "surveillanceists" than "participants in war."

This is the case with the bombing operation. The hundreds of pilots on dozens of bombers didn't know what target they were going to hit. They didn't even know what ammunition was carried in the bomb bay. The new address of this site has been changed to: Sishan and 8 Si, please log in to read

After the fleet reaches the airspace where the missile is launched, the military information network sends a signal to launch an attack. Because no rational person will hand over weapons that can destroy the entire human race to Leng Bingbing, with primary intelligence and controlled by logic-controlled computers, before launching the missile, the pilot on the bomber needs to confirm the attack command. The pilot personally opens the mechanical lock that controls the launch channel. Because it is not a strategic bombing mission, the bombing command for the drop is only controlled by the captain. When performing the strategic bombing mission, the captain and the co-pilot must issue instructions at the same time. In order to prevent a mentally ill captain or co-pilot from launching several missiles carrying nuclear warheads, two mechanical locks are set on both sides of the cockpit. No one can activate two locks alone.

Under the control of the military information network, Shufeng bombers divided into several groups launched their long-range missiles one after another.

Although these bombers did not launch missiles at the same time, the entire operation seemed irregular, and the pilots on the bomber did not know the situation of other bombers. However, from the entire battle situation, the actions of dozens of bombers were regular, that is, the time and airspace of all bombers launch missiles were carefully arranged to ensure that all bombers arrived at the same location within minutes and attacked the same group of targets.

There is no doubt that this tactic will only be adopted when dealing with time-sensitive targets with strong self-defense capabilities.

It is undeniable that dispatching dozens of bombers is definitely not a fact. When the bomber took off from its air base in his country, the Mokouzhen strategic alert satellite issued an alarm, and the US intelligence system immediately ran at full speed. In just a few minutes, the National Defense Security Intelligence Agency and other intelligence agencies evaluated the combat operations of the Republic's Air Force Strategic Aviation. It believed that the bombers carrying long-range air-launched cruise missiles would fly to the war zone, launching missiles over Iran or Pakistan as before, and then returning to the air base.

In other words, the US military did not expect that the target of those bombers would be their naval fleet.

This is not difficult to understand. If the Republic had to deal with the American fleet, it would have taken action long ago and would not have been delayed until this time.

More importantly, the missiles used to deal with fleets are almost no different from missiles used to deal with ground targets.

If in the past, only dedicated anti-ship missiles could be used to deal with fleets, and cruise missiles used to attack ground targets had little threat to fleets. The reason is very simple. Cruise missiles used to deal with ground targets mainly strike fixed targets and rarely deal with maneuverable targets. The fleet is a mobile target, so corresponding guidance systems are required to deal with fleets. In the 1990s, with the advent of forced electromagnetic interference systems, missiles were faster and faster, and the guidance method for attacking the end-stage is becoming easier and easier. Because forced electromagnetic interference systems can cause devastating blows to all open electronic systems, many new anti-ship missiles have adopted closed-circuit guidance. In this way, there is no obvious difference between anti-ship missiles and ground-attack cruise missiles.

To put it simply, the same missile can attack different targets by simply inputting different attack instructions and attack programs.

During the first few days of the war, the US Navy was still wary. Whenever the strategic bomber of the Republic Air Force took off to the front line, the US fleet would arrange more air defense fighters to expand the air defense search range, and at least it had to let the air defense warships enter the highest alert state. After several times of the game "Wolf is Coming", the US fleet's vigilance was also relaxed a lot. After receiving the message from the local Air Defense Command, the two US fleets operating in the Red Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean Sea symbolically allowed the backup air defense fighters parked on the flight deck to take off. The air defense guard level did not increase. The air defense warships were not even allowed to activate the air search radar, and the early warning aircraft continued to take on the air defense alert mission.

Of course, the US fleet was not careless.

Not long after, a strategic reconnaissance satellite in the geosynchronous orbit running over the equator of the east longitude discovered thousands of flash points above Iran. After the cross-comparison, the central computer judged these flash points as if the missiles were separated from the bomber, the strong infrared radiation emitted by the engine when it was working in rocket mode. Because the missiles will accelerate to more than Mach 4 in a few seconds, the strategic reconnaissance satellites cannot continue to track. Of course, this is enough to relieve the commander of the US Navy fleet, because these flashes show that the missiles launched by the bombers cannot pose a threat to them at all. The reason is very simple. The US fleet operating in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Red Sea are all outside the missile strike range, so there is no need to worry about being hit suddenly.

Besides, the missile launch location has been exposed and there is no suddenness.

That's why the US fleet brought the fighter jets that had previously been launched back to the aircraft carrier at this time.

According to the estimates of the US intelligence agencies, the Republic's Air Force dispatched strategic bombers to help the Republic's troops on the Northern Front launch a general offensive.

In fact, this is true. Because just when the bombers were launching missiles, hundreds of tactical fighters launched thousands of cruise missiles over northwest Iran to targets that were hundreds of kilometers away, and all of them were hypersonic cruise missiles with cruise speeds exceeding the old Mach.

More importantly, before that, in the area where the US reconnaissance satellites discovered flashes, there was no Republic strategic bomber at all. The so-called missile flashes were actually sounding rockets launched by Iranian troops, and they were particularly improved sounding rockets. The Iranian soldiers who performed this special mission could not understand why the rockets that were supposed to jump into the night sky rose to a height of thousands of kilometers and suddenly turned. They had no way to figure it out. Because after they launched these rockets, a military police force controlled by Iranian intelligence agencies invited them into the truck and sent them to a secret military base in the Lut Desert. It was not until about half a year after the war ended that these Iranian soldiers returned to their relatives one after another.

As for the specific locations where the bombers launched missiles, even the pilots carrying out the mission

road.

Although in the combat records of the Republic Air Force, the mission of these bombers is to strike the US defensive positions in Malatia, everyone knows that the thugs launched by these bombers, such as multiple missiles, none of them landed in Malatia, and even none flew towards Malatia.

Calculated based on the cruise flight speed of the missile Drimage, within about a minute, the US fleet that is recommended in the Eastern Mediterranean or in the Red Sea will suffer a devastating blow.

Of course, this is just the beginning.
