Chapter 1147 The US surrenders
Although there are two early warning aircraft in Ufda Air Force Base, they have not taken off the early warning aircraft at this time. They are even more dying when they go to the sky. They take off the fighter aircraft first, confirm that the surrounding airspace is safe, and then take off.
This tentative takeoff was devastating.
After taking off, the four F-15 fighter jets turned on the radar and began to search the surrounding airspace. Their radar could detect the targets of fighter jets at a distance of 150 kilometers.
Just as they were scanning north, news came from the ground radar that in the southwest, four Iraqi fighter jets were approaching quickly!
They immediately pulled the rod and rudder, and turned to fly southwest.
At the same time, the AIM-120 missile mounted under the wings also began to be powered up to prepare for launch.
This kind of missile has an effective range of 80 kilometers, but it is more certain to launch it at a distance of 50 kilometers.
The distance between the two sides was approaching rapidly, just eighty kilometers away, and the sound of being locked by radar came from the American pilot's headphones.
Iraqi pilots have launched missiles?
They have already skillfully launched advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles. In air combat, whoever has a long enough hand will have a greater advantage!
After discovering the missiles fired by the other party, the American pilot did not choose to keep approaching and launch the missiles, but turned around immediately.
This distance is probably the opponent's maximum range. As long as you fly farther and make the opponent's missiles unable to reach it, that's all.
However, their move did not work. After going to heaven, they were already beaten up. In another direction, four Saudi Air Force F-15 fighter jets also launched four air-to-air missiles.
Just when the battle in the sky began, large-scale rocket attacks on the ground had already begun. This was not the original Hamas native rocket. Just shoot it out, no matter where it is shot, it is an accurate satellite-guided bomb. As long as it flies out, it will never hit the wrong target. If you want to enter from the window on the left, you will never fly to the window on the right.
The Ufda Air Force Base and the Yotvata Army Base in the United States looked at the overwhelming rockets. The only thing they could do was to run out of the building immediately and run to the open space without strategic value, and then, watching the rockets, hitting the place they had just been.
Oil depots, ammunition depots, radars, hangars, runways, and almost all valuable targets were hit by rockets. Those rockets were so accurate that they were simply incredible.
There were very few casualties among the Americans. Apart from those unlucky guys, there were tens of thousands of American troops and less than one hundred casualties. Compared with the casualties of the Israeli army with corpses everywhere, it was almost negligible.
Iraq's attack was to weaken the war potential of the US team and achieve the goal of defeating others without fighting as much as possible. The Americans were very aware of it. Their heavy troops depended heavily on logistics. When they could not get supplies, they could not fight. Seeing that Iraq's tanks and guns were already on their heads, what choice did they have besides surrender?
To make the Americans surrender was Kusai’s original policy. After all, if all tens of thousands of American troops were defeated, there would be no room for recovery. At the same time, a large number of American prisoners were a bargaining chip for future negotiations!
As the sky gradually became bright, the Jews looked at the armored vehicles of the Arabs beside them, their eyes were filled with anger. Their homes were occupied by the Arabs. Where were their troops?
The whole world was shocked. Until twenty years later, this war was still talked about by people. The test of this war has supported countless experts and scholars, especially in many military academies. This war was taken into the classroom as a famous example of the war. The high-tech modern war uses this war as the dividing line!
But now, people are just shocked and disbelieved that the United States is the most powerful. Israel, supported by the United States, has the most powerful military strength. Its ballistic missile defense system is more effective than the United States. However, such a country has not even survived for a night and was taken down like this?
Israel has not yet destroyed its country, but it is only one step away from its destruction.
Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Syria, and Jordan, have a total of nearly ten armored divisions and five armored brigades. Overnight, they have occupied the entire Israeli territory. More than a dozen armored brigades in Israel fought bravely and resisted bravely. However, in the absence of the air force, the army has only endless sorrow.
The destroyed Mekawa tanks were everywhere, most of which were dropped from the sky, and most of the Israeli defense forces were wiped out last night.
Arab countries also paid a significant price for this battle. The number of Arabs killed last night reached more than 300. Although the senior command organization of Israel has been completely paralyzed, their soldiers have not retreated, and even had plastic bodies covered in them and they actively ran towards the tank, hoping to destroy the tank. Of course, they were shot into a hornet's nest by a machine gun.
The Arab army did not harm civilians, but all Jewish civilians had been driven out of their homes and concentrated in the open space to prevent them from hiding in the dark and secretly shooting cold guns behind their backs.
Most of these people are Jews who grew up in Israel, and for them, there are many dead and hard-working elements.
There are only three places where the war is still igniting. In Tel Aviv, the capital of Israel, two armored brigades retreated to the city and relied on the city to engage in street battles with two Iraqi armored divisions. In Haifa, an remaining armored brigade in Israel was resisting the attack of one armored division in Iraq and Syria.
In the western city of Jerusalem, Fatah was also constantly attacking fiercely, and they wanted to seize their holy city!
In the southern part of Israel, four armored divisions and two armored brigades rushed over from the north, west and east directions surrounded the US military. An armored brigade of the US military was dispatched. As a result, after more than 20 tanks were destroyed by the Su-25 attack aircraft in the sky, they immediately retreated. After returning, they were unable to move and the remaining oil had been consumed.
The other troops did not issue live ammunition, and their tanks were still coach ammunition, and the ammunition depot had turned into ashes, so they had no capital to continue to resist.
………
"I'm afraid our three divisions will surrender," Powell said. "They have no capital to continue the confrontation now. Iraq obviously leaves them with a way out and is unwilling to hurt our troops too much."
"An army of tens of thousands of people surrendered without a single shot or a single shot?" Cheney shouted loudly: "This has never happened in our American history. We died so many soldiers in the Second World War, and there was no precedent for institutional surrender. On the Korean battlefield and in the Vietnam War, we have never been! They want to continue fighting and must not surrender!"
Looking at this guy who had never served in the military service, but had been the Secretary of Defense and now the Vice President, Powell felt a little sad. In that case, what else could he do besides surrender?
"It is better to surrender in an established place than to be eliminated in an established place!" Powell said coldly: "They have no fuel and ammunition. There are only soldiers with light weapons, and they will only face the massacre of Iraqis! Everyone, if such a thing really happens, then everyone here will be the sinners of history and the sinners of our United States!"
Powell's words woke Bush up. Yes, he only thought about letting these people arouse the complete hostility of all Americans towards the Middle East, and he could be overwhelmed by a large army. He did not consider that these were all living people. Before becoming soldiers, they were first and foremost citizens of the United States.
Bush shook his head, put aside his original thoughts and asked, "What will Congress react now?"
"The Congress responded very fiercely, and the Arabs fought undeclaredly, completely undermining peace in the Middle East and taking full responsibility. Congress has passed our proposal to increase military spending on a large scale, and agrees that we will launch a war to help Israel regain the lost land." Powell said.
The Arabs launched this war without any reason, which was unacceptable for Americans who advocate freedom and democracy. Therefore, they agreed unanimously, which was a first-time in Congress.
"We need to freeze the funds of all Arab people," said the Minister of Economy: "until they abandon the invaded Israeli territory and return to their original positions."
Freezing the enemy's funds is a normal step in the war. Since the battle is about to start, what are you afraid of?
"We need to contact the entire NATO and send troops together, first use our air force to completely seize the air supremacy over Israel." Rumsfeld said.
The reason why Israel was defeated so badly was entirely because of its loss of air supremacy. Because of Iraq's sneak attacks, their air force suffered heavy losses.
"However, before sending troops, we should be authorized by the United Nations. This incident is the clearest incident, an invasion of the Arabs that undermined the Council's regulations." Powell continued.
The huge war machine of the United States was moving quickly, but what the senior officials at this time did not expect was that this time, the complexity of the incident completely exceeded their expectations. There would be different voices in NATO and the United Nations. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
