Chapter 1019: Desert Storm

"Once again, a peace initiative is put forward to resolve the issue diplomatically. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Serov stood up and walked around the huge table, "This is the last reminder, and it is also the last effort of our Soviet Union for peace, and when the time comes, the Americans will not regret it." ”

Gromyko's urgent visit to Washington was interpreted by European and American countries as the last effort to stop the United States. Gromyko, who attended the UN General Assembly, talked a lot about peace and hoped that the US Government and President Bush himself would not lightly start a war.

In this emergency meeting of the United Nations, the United States took a very tough stance, insisting on its earlier proposition that Iran and Iraq must withdraw from the occupied areas, and finally broke up because their goals were far apart.

The day after Gromyko's return, Serov again assured the Iranian People's Party and the Communist Government of Iraq that the Soviet Union would intervene in the dispute and give the allies protection at the appropriate time if the two countries could not withstand an attack by the American army. The Soviet Union's position toward its allies would not change, no matter what the pressures it faced.

An army of 1.7 million is not easy to gnaw on. Even if 10,000 people die a day, it can still give the Soviet Union half a year to observe, and the war clouds in the Persian Gulf region have attracted the attention of the whole world. When the last Soviet mediation efforts failed, all countries knew that war was inevitable.

Diego Garcia base, on this day, the seven aircraft carriers of the American task force and the USS Ark Royal, a total of eight search aircraft carrier battle groups for the final replenishment, this huge task force left the port and headed north, eight search aircraft carriers went hand in hand, surrounded by escort cruisers, destroyers, from the air is a very shocking scene, the huge hull splits the ocean, white waves are separated from the bow, although it is only moving, but people dare not face it.

In the sky above the US heavy aircraft carrier, a powerful network of spy satellites is running at high speed, and the carrier-based early warning aircraft ejected by steam catapults rushed into the air to provide air protection for this huge fleet.

"What beautiful weather, perfect for the Air Force." The pilots who flew the carrier-based early warning planes were very satisfied with the good visibility weather conditions, which was the most ideal weather for the Air Force to dispatch.

Beneath the calm Indian Ocean, the Los Angeles-class nuclear submarines of the United States, cruising in the depths of the ocean, as if it were their mission, lonely drifted with the current, delivering a fatal blow at the right time

Due to the reduction in the total number of submarines, the US Navy has added Tomahawk-to-land attack cruise missiles to attack nuclear submarines, the maximum range of which reaches fourteen hundred kilometers. The latest Tomahawk missiles with conventional warheads with a range of up to nine hundred kilometers and the possibility of carrying a wide range of warheads with a fairly flexible strike range were also added.

After a few hours, the coastline and sea level gradually blended, and night began to cover the Indian Ocean. The experienced veterans slowly noticed that the fleet's course was deflecting northwest, but no one was alarmed. It is not uncommon for a long-distance fleet to temporarily change course, or to conduct exercises on the way, or to avoid an impending hurricane, or to rescue ships in distress, even if it is a war, it is not very intolerable for the US military, which has been engaged in military operations all year round.

Half an hour later, Soviet spy satellites flying over the Diego Garcia base took pictures of the U.S. task force sortie, and the entire Diego Garcia base was empty. After receiving this information, Moscow immediately analyzed and sorted it out and quickly forwarded it to Baghdad and Tehran, so that the two countries could prepare for war.

"Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, get off work!" Serov packed up his things, and when it was really time to fight, he suddenly didn't care about the war situation in the Persian Gulf, and if he won the war, he would defeat the United States now, and if he lost, he would be cleaning up the United States twenty years later. In this struggle, the Soviet Union has long been invincible.

Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, the United States Command in the Middle East, the weather is sunny, the United States has entered the late autumn season here, there is no impact here, the weather is still so hot, even hotter is the commander of the coalition forces Norman? General Schwarzkopf's heart, when the big war was approaching, he could not calm himself down. Although the movement of the navy has always been known to be slow, this time he wished it had moved a little faster.

Thousands of miles away in Baku, among the Southern Theater Command, Norman? General Schwarzkopf's real opponent, General Baglamyan, the commander of the Southern Theater of Operations, looked at the map of the situation of both sides in the Persian Gulf with his hands on his shoulders, and for a long time, a smile appeared on his face, "On land, no one is the opponent of the Soviet Union......

In the early hours of the morning, the U.S. task force had entered the designated attack position. Admiral Schwarzkopf breathed a sigh of relief, the most painful moment had passed, and the long wait was finally coming to an end today.

"For a long time, my biggest concern was that the Iraqi army would take the initiative to attack us when we were not ready, and now this possibility is finally gone." Norman? Schwarzkopf said to the staff officer beside him with relief.

In the process of transporting the military forces of the US mainland to Saudi Arabia, in order to maximize efficiency, people and equipment were transported separately, because in this way, for such a period of 20 days, the US troops in Saudi Arabia only had light weapons, and if they were attacked at this time, it would be impossible for the US troops without heavy weapons to smash people with their fists.

Norman? General Schwarzkopf was too worried, how could Serov take the initiative to remind the Iraqis that if this is won, this group of Middle Easterners will not be able to go to heaven? It is estimated that the Soviet Union will soon replace the United States and train this group of disobedient babies. But this would hinder the great friendship between the Soviet Union and the Arab countries, so it would be better for the US military to do it for you.

Norman, who was unaware of the Soviet Union's murder with a knife? General Schwarzkopf, sent a telegram to Washington, "All preparations for war have been completed, and Operation Desert Storm is ready to begin at any time." "The reply from China was very fast, and the recognition action began......

The Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine under the sea, the Tomahawk cruise missiles broke through the water and rushed straight north, and on the sea, the US fleet also issued an attack order at the same time, firing more than 100 Tomahawk cruise missiles at Iraqi and Iranian air defense positions and radar bases. The US-led multinational forces began to implement Operation Desert Storm, and the Gulf War broke out.

In the US heavy aircraft carrier battle group, steam catapults catapult the carrier-based aircraft carried at a speed of two in one minute. F14 and F18 carrier-based aircraft took to the skies one after another, and anti-radiation missiles loaded with attack radar stations and military intelligence centers took to the air.

At the same time, the electronic jamming equipment deployed on the borders with Kuwait and Iraq was activated to jam the radar stations of Iran and Iraq, and at three o'clock in the morning, the first Tomahawk cruise missile was launched from the Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine under the sea, which exploded in Iraq, opening the prelude to the air battle.

Then the carrier-based aircraft group that took off from the aircraft carrier, along the opening of the F117, led the huge aircraft group of the multinational force, through the night sky with almost no moonlight, flew to the sky over Baghdad, and began to bomb important military targets in Iraq and Kuwait in turn. Schwarzkopf first chose to concentrate on Iraq, because the Iraqi occupied oil-rich areas were particularly large, and only one-fifth of the fighter group took to the air and bombed Bahrain in close proximity.

"Well, there seems to be an airplane signal just now, but it was immediately gone." At a radar station near the Kuwaiti border, an Iraqi officer voice was confused.

"Are you mistaken, in fact, the technology of the Soviets is not reliable, and the Libyans have not suffered." Another officer who was on duty at the same time as this officer said disapprerovingly, "Either there is or there is nothing, how can it be that there is no such thing as a flash!" ”

"If you take Libya as an example, doesn't that mean that the Americans have come?" The officer who spoke at the beginning was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "Could it be that the US military has used some method to circumvent the radar?" ”

Just now their radar station has detected the flight trajectory of a cruise missile, reminding the capital to be on guard. Since it can be seen just now, there is no reason why the radar is malfunctioning now.

The F117 stealth fighter is the first generation of stealth fighter, from the perspective of air combat, in addition to the stealth technology that has just been developed in this era, this fighter is basically useless, and it is a dead end if it is discovered. General Baglamyan, who was deploying troops in Baku, knew about the existence of this fighter, or the Soviet Union, but he was not obliged to warn the Middle Easterners. The radar that could detect this fighter was not given to the Iran-Iraq alliance.

At this time, the F117 stealth fighter approached the target at a very slow flight speed, because the maneuverability was ridiculously poor, it couldn't get up fast if it wanted to, and after reaching the range of the AGM-88 "Hamm" anti-radiation missile, the pilot immediately pressed the launch button, and at the same time piloted the plane to turn around and go, with his back to the high-speed AGM-88 "Hamm" anti-radiation missile, and fled the battlefield at high speed. The F117 stealth battle cannot be fought by any fighter jet, and if it is discovered, it will be destroyed, and the US pilots are well aware of this characteristic, so they do not hesitate to choose to retreat.

A few minutes later, the radar station that had been running all this time was hit directly, and the skyrocketing fire ignited the night sky, and the two colleagues did not have to argue this time whether the radar had really detected the air attack signal. The nail was pulled out, and a large number of fighter groups entered Iraqi airspace.

"The radar stations are turned on intermittently to evade anti-radiation missiles!" General Bagramian was not prepared to tell the Iraqis about the existence of stealth fighters, but he also did not want the Soviet allies to be unilaterally beaten and use some stupid methods to deplete the American army.
