Chapter 194 Gaza
In the eyes of Americans, it is just a warship with an empty shell. It may take several years to form true combat power.
In particular, Iraqi pilots were able to take off and land from aircraft carriers, which they were even more unbelievable.
EP-3 will not encounter any danger.
But later, an early warning aircraft that was surveillanced two hundred kilometers away found an abnormality. Two light spots appeared from the aircraft carrier, and they actually took off two fighter jets!
After the two Su-27Ks took off, they turned on their radar in the direction of the aircraft carrier's forecast, and suddenly they discovered the close light spot.
Continue to fly more vigorously, and the target soon appears in sight. It is an electronic reconnaissance aircraft of the US Navy!
"Baghdad, the target was discovered, the US Navy's EP-3 electronic reconnaissance aircraft." Reyer reported.
"Super surveillance and stop them from continuing to move closer to our aircraft carriers." Abdul ordered.
"Yes," Reyer pushed the operating rod forward, and Su-27K leaned towards the electronic reconnaissance aircraft in the low altitude.

"It will cost a lot of money to adjust the Seventh Army. It is just the transportation of equipment, and the consumption is astronomical. It is a very stupid behavior for us to hastily transfer the Seventh Army to pass." Even Secretary of State James opposed the mobilization of the Seventh Army. This is not a playful house for children. How much transportation capacity is needed to transport those equipment?
When the US Treasury is in a tight situation and the fiscal situation is already in a state of insufficiency, increasing military spending will further expand their deficit.
"At most, just transfer a brigade to it." said Brent, assistant to national security affairs.
A secretary hurried in and handed Cheney a document. Cheney picked it up, glanced at it, and sneered. The group of people knew that there was not much money in their pockets and they could not spend anything. Now they couldn't bear it. Then, the strategic situation in the United States would be very dangerous.
"Half an hour ago, the Vodka aircraft carrier entered the Mediterranean. When they were about to leave the Aegean, they encountered one of our EP-3 aircraft. Under their interception, our EP-3 reconnaissance aircraft had to interrupt the flight mission and return to the base." Cheney read the document and said to others: "We are now watching the Iraqis become stronger and stronger. They now have aircraft carriers. What will we use to fight against the Iraqis in the future?"
Although the Soviets said it very well, so many Iraqis on that aircraft carrier could not deceive them. Only the first time the Soviet warship was detained and they were deceived. Of course, they are not as naive as they were in the past.
The Turks retreated and did not intercept the aircraft carrier. They were still afraid of the declining Red Empire.
And even the United States has always been under the banner of the Soviets, but there is no excuse to hinder the return of this warship. What is the Pacific Fleet? When it arrives at the Indian Ocean, it will definitely make another friendly visit to enter the Iraqi naval base. Then, it is detained because of debt issues?
If such a lonely aircraft carrier was accompanied by a modern-class destroyer during the war, their submarines would have the opportunity to give it a few torpedoes. However, it is a time of peace, and their submarines would only carry out several simulated attacks at most.
"The Iraqis have even aircraft carriers. They have a big appetite. Our strategic situation in the Middle East is very dangerous. If a war breaks out, it is absolutely not enough for the air force to be alone. We must prepare early and move our army over." Powell also spoke. Iraq is really a threat to them!
The meeting finally made a decision to mobilize the 1st Armored Division and the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division of the 7th Army into Israel, and then see if the situation develops, whether more troops need to be mobilized to enter, and even eventually move the entire 7th Army over.
Israel's Mekawa is simply unable to compete with Iraq's T-72. Only when the main M1 tank of the US military's military is on the way can they be defeated.
The Iraqi threat theory has become a personal threat, but it will only be true that they will have a real basis when the aircraft carrier returns to Iraq and joins the Iraqi Navy when they clamor.
Will the Iraqis use force? Just as the Americans began to prevent the Arabs from using force, something that made them a little surprised happened. The Palestinian representative protested at the United Nations, accusing Israel of atrocities on Palestinian land, hoping that the United Nations would pass a resolution to stop Israel's actions and impose sanctions on Israel.
Everyone knows that the United Nations has no effect at all. It is just a fig leaf. The conflict between Palestinian and Israel has always existed. The resolution of the United Nations is immediately implemented if it is not good for the Palestinians. Israel regards it as something that is worse than the fart. Here, whoever has a hard fist will be the boss.
What exactly does Arafat, or Iraq behind it, want to do?
Israel uses its own force to fly over the heads of the Palestinian state. This statement will only make them laugh at. Where is the real Palestinian state? Their territory is all Israeli troops, and Israel has occupied it for decades.
What role can a group of Arab countries yell at the United Nations do? It can only make Israel think that they are weak.
The actions started by Israel were a little cautious, afraid of being strongly resisted by the surrounding Arab countries. They also tried step by step. After dispatching air forces and carrying out targeted clearance operations, the result was that a group of Arabs protested at the United Nations without any pain and itch. There was no further information.
It seems that it is beneficial for the United States to come to garrison. The guy named Kusai doesn't take them seriously, but they must take the influence of the United States.
Seeing that Arab countries did not react too strongly, Israel finally became more courageous and took greater steps, not only using precisely guided weapons to attack. The ground forces finally began to dispatch.
Hamas kept using rockets to attack, and ran away after hitting, and only used fixed-point removal. Now it seems that it cannot play a decisive role and cannot completely eliminate those threats. They need to use ground troops to completely wipe out Hamas' arms.
"Squeak, squeak," the tank tracks seemed like a flat road that could never be walked, constantly extending forward. The huge heat of the engine was a great test for the crew in the tank.
This kind of tank looks very unique in appearance. The tank's turret is very small and the inclination at the front is very large. The result is that the area on the front is very small.
Moreover, unlike all tanks, its engine is installed in the front, which makes huge space for the back, so there can be a lot of ammunition behind it, or it can be a crew cabin for accommodating eight soldiers.
It is said to be a tank, but it can be regarded as a half-infantry fighting vehicle.
However, due to the limited front and limited size of the engine, the power of the engine will not be very high, and their maneuverability is not excellent.
Moreover, now, the heat directly baked in front of the engine is a torment for them. Although the car is equipped with air conditioning, the tank hands still feel very stuffy. However, they dare not open the hatch to get some air.
Although Hamas' armed forces only have light weapons, the most powerful ones are probably those rockets with inaccurate heads, there must be many sharpshooters in the Kasan Brigade. Now, before entering the city of Gaza, the 217th Armored Brigade has been killed.
Just now, a gunman drilled out of the turret. The tank was too hot. However, as soon as he poked his head out, he was hit on the head by a flying bullet. His brain matter flowed onto the turret, his body softened, and he fell back into the turret again.
The angry captain turned the turret and aimed at a teenager who was enjoying the shade of trees on the side of the road two hundred meters away. At this time, he had an old-fashioned AK series rifle in his hand.
The commander did not hesitate at all, swept the bullets on the machine gun side by side and knocked the boy into a sieve. The commander's eyes were full of anger, but there was a sense of fear in his heart. A teenager in his teenager had such a high accuracy. How many soldiers Hamas trained?
This accident happened and they began to be alert. On the way forward, several more motorcycle gunmen were causing trouble for them. However, before they could get closer, they used machine guns as deterrent strafing.
If they dare to keep approaching, they will eliminate them mercilessly, especially if they see those people carrying rocket launchers, they will not even need to deterrent strafing, and it will be enough to just greet them.
Hamas' actions had no effect. After all, they were not regular military forces and were unable to stop the advance of Israeli armored forces.
The 217th Brigade continued to march towards the Gaza Strip.
Street fighting has always been the type of battle with the greatest casualties. However, in the decades when Israel was established, they have fought street fighting many times and have rich experience. The ones fighting against them were not regular troops at all, but at most they were guys holding rocket launchers. Their mission this time said that street fighting had been passed, in fact, it was to clear out, completely wipe out Hamas' arms, protect the safety of their compatriots, and prevent them from being attacked by Hamas rockets.
They were not alone, and the 460th Armored Brigade and the Golani Mechanized Infantry Brigade were also sent to work with them to clear the Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip.
Moreover, their operations, as well as the support of a large number of cobras and Apache helicopters, the Golani Mechanized Infantry Brigade has begun to achieve air maneuver and can appear where needed at any time.
In this battle, we must completely solve the Hamas problem! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to Piaotian. Registered members of the literature recommend this work. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
