Dominate South Asia
Chapter 660: Landing in Kuwait
The entire formation, consisting of more than 200 helicopters, rumbled forward like this, tens of meters above the ground. From Robert's position, he could see the desert flying below and a scattered small village. What he heard was an explosion in the distance.
Along the way, they were very lucky and almost didn't encounter Iraqi ground artillery fire. This is also thanks to the air strikes some time ago, which completely destroyed the war potential of the Iraqis, especially in Kuwait, where the Iraqi ground forces were almost ravaged in turn.
Now, seeing that he was getting close to his destination, Robert's legs began to shake a few times. After sitting in the helicopter for more than an hour, his leg muscles had begun to feel numb. After a while, he would have to descend to fight.
From his direction, he could see an Apache helicopter flying sideways. Under the short wings on both sides were hung Hellfire anti-tank missiles and rocket launcher nests. These helicopters were used to protect their flanks. .
At the rear of the formation, there is also a Black Hawk helicopter, which is the helicopter used by their comrades, soldiers from another squad.
"Attention, check the equipment again and prepare to enter the battle!" Amidst the roar of the helicopter, Robert heard the squad leader's words.
Checking weapons, checking communicators, and checking the supplies they carry, everyone is nervously conducting the last check before entering the target area.
They are lightly armed troops. In addition to carrying M16 rifles, their most powerful weapon is the M72 rocket launcher. When attacking in the city, they mainly rely on the air support of Apache helicopters.
The typical combat mode of the U.S. military is to call for air strikes at any time. Even if there is a sniper on the opposite floor, they can call for air support. Just destroy that building, so as to minimize the casualties of American soldiers.
Now, the U.S. Air Force has already seized air superiority over the battlefield, and helicopters can fly over the battlefield without any threat.
Ahead, you can already see the city shrouded in night, and their destination has been reached!
Kuwait City is still in silence, in darkness, this silence. It makes everyone feel inexplicably uneasy in their hearts.
The US government has issued a statement and the ground operation has officially begun. At this time, there is still no movement in Kuwait City. This is definitely abnormal.
Due to the high maneuverability of the helicopters, when they flew to Kuwait City, the remaining armored forces were still far away on the border and began to advance. Before dawn, they relied only on their own strength.
Such a plan. Is it a bit risky?
It was not Robert's job to make plans; he was just an American soldier, to him. Just think about your mission. When the helicopter takes him to the destination, he will land and follow one of his comrades in the squad to go to the TV building and control it.
As the city gradually approached, Robert opened his goggles and wanted to rub his sore eyes.
Just then. On the ground, a line suddenly lit up. This curve was so fast that it almost arrived in an instant.
"Portable missile! Three o'clock direction!" Robert shouted loudly. He shouted loudly. Almost at this time, the Apache helicopter on the side had discovered the threat. The roar of the helicopter suddenly increased, and at the same time, a set of infrared decoy bombs were released from the side of the fuselage.
Unfortunately, the missile on the ground flew too fast. Just as Apache was pulling up, a violent explosion sounded.
"Boom!" With this explosion. The engine compartment on one side of the Apache was hit, and the automatic fire extinguishing system was activated. Countless white smoke spewed out, and the engine on one side was lost. The engine on the other side was fully powered, and the helicopter flew precariously.
"Boom!" There was another roar. Robert opened his eyes wide and looked at the Black Hawk helicopter behind him, which turned into a fireball in the explosion.
All the soldiers in an infantry squad inside were killed!
Robert's body fell backwards violently, and the helicopter he was on was also pulling up quickly, trying to avoid the attack of the anti-aircraft missiles on the ground.
When did the Iraqis have so many man-portable air defense missiles? Moreover, the performance is so advanced that even infrared decoy bombs cannot be deceived!
The entire helicopter formation flew away after being suddenly hit by anti-aircraft missiles on the ground. At the same time, the Apache helicopters' counterattack also began.
On the ground, an Iraqi soldier was standing behind a bunker, carrying on his shoulders the latest portable anti-aircraft missiles that he had been training recently.
Sam-18! This is the new generation of portable surface-to-air missile system of the Soviet Union after the SA-7 air defense missile, SA-14 air defense missile, and SA-16 air defense missile. It was developed in 1971 and entered military service in 1983. It can be used for head-on and tail pursuit. It can attack various low-altitude and ultra-low-altitude targets as well as hovering helicopters, etc. due to the use of dual-channel infrared seeker models. The target selection logic device in the seeker can identify various infrared false targets emitted by supersonic targets. It has strong anti-infrared interference capabilities and can deal with various interferences such as signal flares, flash bombs and modulated infrared interference.
Now, it’s an actual combat of this portable air defense missile!
On the battlefield in Afghanistan, the US portable anti-aircraft missile Stinger posed a great threat to Soviet helicopters. More than half of the losses of the Hind were caused by the Stinger. Now, the Soviets' Needle anti-aircraft missiles have begun to explode the Americans' anus.
The soldier stood up, staring at the sight, waiting for the sound of locking in the headset.
He didn't know that his body had appeared in the night vision goggles of the Apache helicopter pilot. Under the short wings, rockets flew out with thick smoke.
"Beep..." There was a sound in the headset, and the soldier pulled the trigger.
"Boom." A fire flashed at the back of the launch tube, and the Needle missile flew out from the front.
"Boom!" At this moment, the rockets of the Apache helicopter had also flown over, and bricks flew around him, and his body was instantly torn into pieces.
The battle of blood and fire has begun!
"Quick, quick!" The helicopter Robert was riding in did not take them to the predetermined target. Instead, they landed on an empty basketball court. The sound of a car could be heard in the distance. Obviously, the Iraqi soldiers had already swarmed to the landing site after discovering it.
Robert came down from the rope skillfully. When his feet stepped on the solid ground of Kuwait, he felt his leg muscles trembling a little.
"Quick, quick! Follow me to occupy the commanding heights there!" Robert heard the squad leader shouting loudly. He had no time to hesitate at this time. He immediately followed his squad leader and ran towards the two-story building over there.
"Da Da Da..." At this moment, a burst of bullets swept over. The Iraqis were equipped with a large-caliber machine gun on the pickup truck and had begun to shoot here.
Robert felt his scalp was a little cold. Those bullets seemed to fly past his head.
"Ah." A scream came from behind. He turned his head and saw that his friend had been shot and fell to the ground. There was a hole in his chest and blood flowed all over the ground.
"Boom!" The pickup truck didn't run rampant for long before the Apache helicopter dealt with it. Robert ran back a few steps and picked up the unlucky guy with another comrade and dragged him behind a wall.
"Quick, tourniquet!"
"Give him an injection!"
Several people were busy with their hands, but the comrade's eyes had begun to blur. He lost too much blood, making his face look so pale. His hands tried to grab something weakly, but he finally stopped breathing.
Robert's hands were full of blood, and his mind had begun to go blank. This is war!
Time was slowly passing. This was an unforgettable day for many American soldiers.
Dawn gradually came, and many places in Kuwait City were caught in brutal street fighting. The American armored forces were advancing rapidly in the desert.
The 101st Airborne Division has strong mobility, but firepower is their shortcoming. Without heavy weapons, they were almost suppressed by the Iraqis in the battle. If it were not for timely air support, the troops that entered first would almost be wiped out by the Iraqi garrison.
More than a month of air strikes did not hit the morale of the Iraqi army, and the battle was about to fall into a stalemate!
General Schwarzkopf was very depressed. A simple war of liberation was beaten into this state. The attack of the Scud, the sudden appearance of long-range air defense missiles, and those damn portable air defense missiles all showed without exception that there was another country that secretly supported Iraq!
Even if a protest was raised, it was a diplomatic verbal attack. Now, General Schwarzkopf had no other choice but to continue to urge those armored forces to move forward quickly, enter Kuwait City as soon as possible, and resolve the battle!
Although it suffered a loss last night, the US war machine is still powerful. At the same time, in order to increase military strength, General Schwarzkopf ordered the British First Armored Division, which was originally responsible for cutting off the Iraqi army's retreat in the rear with the coalition forces, to immediately change direction and head south to participate in the battle to Kuwait City.
At the critical moment, it is still our own people who are reliable. If those slow coalition forces were allowed to come, it would take several days.
After receiving the order, the British First Armored Division immediately turned around, and the powerful Challenger tanks rumbled towards the south. Britain is an old capitalist country and a former empire on which the sun never sets. Now, the British military strength is also strong! (To be continued ~^~)
