The moving speed of the towing guns is very slow. They need to be traction by the car to reach the position, and after reaching the position, it takes time to unfold.

Now, Iraqi artillery soldiers are nervously preparing.

The mechanized artillery brigade in Iraq carries 13 94mm howitzers and the field artillery brigade of the Iraqi Infantry Division, which has 12 8.16 kilogram cannons and 4 114mm howitzers. At this time, they are spreading their own field.

In addition to these, some Iraqi tribal armed forces also participated in this operation. They were also angry about the British occupying forces, and they had other purposes. Once they conquered the British army's positions, they could go in and grab things!

At this time, everyone was moving in a mess. The gunner shook the handle vigorously and supported the barrel. At this moment, a sharp-eyed gunner had already looked ahead: "The British have taken off the fighter plane again!"

They fought around the British airport, but the British could take off fighter planes to bomb them, which was simply love and kill each other.

Artillery soldiers are definitely not bayonets. They prefer to hide behind and open fire secretly. When they see those planes take off from the runway, they panic.

"Where are the anti-aircraft guns? Where are our anti-aircraft guns?" asked the brigade commander of the artillery brigade loudly. At this time, they urgently needed anti-aircraft guns to protect themselves.

However, no one answered him that the Iraqi army was not organized intact, and the anti-aircraft artillery was not in their troops at all!

Hatach's fighter jet took off again, still full of bombs and rockets. At such a critical moment, the British Air Force must defend itself with fearless courage!

The cockpit of the P-40 fighter has a good view. From here, he can clearly see the Iraqi artillery position in front. After taking off, he can dive and attack with just a turn!

However, just when he wanted to turn around, he found that there were several highlights coming in the sky to the east, which immediately attracted his attention. What was that?

The highlight was rapidly enlarging, and Hatach quickly saw it clearly. An aircraft he was very familiar with, the MC200 thunder and lightning produced in Italy! Of course, what was flying here is not the Italian Air Force, but the Iraqi Air Force that purchased this fighter jet!

Only then did he remember something. His side actually ignored an important factor. He was surrounded by these Iraqis here, thinking about the battle in front of him, and had no long-term vision at all!

The Iraqi Air Force base should be bombed first and their planes were destroyed on the runway. Now, the Iraqi Air Force is coming to attack its own side!

On the ground, the artillery cheered. At the beginning, they were still worried about being bombed by British planes, and now they are finally not needed!

"Iraq fighter planes are discovered, and Kingfisher is ready to intercept them." Hatach shouted quickly in the radio, and then he pressed the button.

The bomb fell swaying to the open space outside the airport and made an explosion. The 1,000-pound bomb would seriously limit his mobility. He had to throw away the bomb to fight against Iraqi fighters.

After all, Italy's mc200 fighter is the latest advanced fighter developed by Italy. It has an all-metal structure and uses a good power engine. The aircraft has a speed of 500 kilometers per hour. It is already the first to be launched in this era.

Hatach, who dropped the bomb, flew towards the Iraqi plane. At the same time, the fighters behind him made the same choice, and they had to deal with the biggest threat first.

Because there were bombers behind Iraq's Air Force fighter jets, they were here to bomb the airport!

After seizing this opportunity, the Iraqi artillery soldiers were finally able to open fire!

"Boom, boom!" The howitzer's muzzle came out, and the entire artillery position was covered by black smoke. The shells flew to the British air base opposite.

The shells exploded on the lawn, and the soil flew, but it was like intentionally letting water go. The first round of artillery bombing of the Iraqi army did not hit the apron at all. Only one hit the runway, and it was just rubbing the edge!

"Take off, continue to take off!" General Smart kept giving orders, and the fighter jets that took off in the early stage went to intercept the Iraqi Air Force, and continued to take off the fighter jets behind and bomb the artillery positions there!

Today is destined to be an extremely difficult day.

The fearless British pilot continued to take off in the fire of artillery.

At this moment, Smart saw an adjutant and hurriedly ran towards him: "General, general, our reinforcements have arrived!"

Raising the telescope, Smart looked at a Douglas DC-2 transport plane, braved the fierce artillery fire of the Iraqi army and forced landing on the runway. The pilot was good!

"Let's go and have a look!" Smart was also extremely excited. He jumped on his jeep and headed towards the airport runway.

On the runway, the transport plane that forced landed began to slide to the apron. The transport plane flying from India took off in the early morning. The flight for several hours made the pilot extremely tired, but he was still waving his arms and instructing the soldiers coming to carry the weapons.

"The shells are behind, unload them from behind first!" he shouted loudly.

So a soldier carried the heavy shell box and carried the shell down.

"Quick, hurry, hurry, carry it to the cafeteria!" A British officer shouted loudly. He looked at the shells and felt extremely excited.

At this time, the base officer canteen was also a tense scene, and the soldiers were operating the artillery in front.

The 18-pound field cannon was the main cannon of Britain during World War I, but after World War I, it was completely out of date and was replaced by the 25-pound field cannon, so this kind of cannon was eliminated.

Now, in front of the canteen here, there are more than a dozen cannons, at least for decoration, and there is no practical significance.

And now, these cannons are about to revive the second spring in their lives!

Last night, because there was no heavy firepower, the officers in the base immediately noticed these old-fashioned cannons in desperation. After inspection, they found that although after many years of wind and sun exposure, these field cannons were still intact. So, they urgently contacted the rear and mobilized a batch of shells!

"Strong loading, let's give the Iraqi artillery some colors!" shouted the British officer, who quickly measured the shooting numbers and then issued instructions to the gunners.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Soon, these wooden one-man-high gun wheels and short field cannons let out a roar.
Chapter completed!
