Chapter 658: The Destruction of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment

The US Air Force has always used the most power to search for Iraq's Scud missiles, which is the most threatening weapon to them. However, the results have been minimal. For a period of time, the attack of the Scud missiles stopped. The United States thought that under their powerful air force, Iraq realized that the Scud missile could not continue to launch its attack, so it had to stop.

They didn't know that these Scud missiles were all the strength that Iraq deliberately preserved, and now, the Scud missiles finally started to counterattack!

When countless hot flames rose, the reconnaissance satellites in outer space were not discovered immediately.

The Iraqis are very abominable. Just as Bush announced a ground attack on Iraq, Iraq lit all the Kuwaiti wells!

The Creator is unfair. If the Soviets saw it, they would definitely hate him.

The Soviet oil wells were all under the plateau frozen soil, and they needed to drill several thousand meters deep and then pumped up. The cost of mining was very high. Therefore, the United States used oil as a weapon to lower international oil prices, and the Soviet Union's export of oil became a loss-making deal. In the Middle East, even if it was reduced to a few dollars per barrel, they would make a profit.

Because the oil fields here are all high-yield and self-spraying crude oil. As long as you dig a hole in the ground, you don’t need any machinery. The oil inside can be sprayed out automatically. It is simply the most wonderful gift given to the Arab world by Allah.

Now, these oil wells are all lit by Iraq!

The rolling smoke flew into the sky. These smoke and flames would bring great obstacles to the US Air Force that was raided.

Originally, Americans were not afraid of night battles because the United States had advanced night vision equipment. For example, many pilots performing night attack missions wore night vision devices, which allowed them to see clearly the target they needed to attack at night like during the day.

But now, as the oil well is lit, there are fires everywhere, smoke everywhere, and the night vision instrument cannot look directly at the fires, the pilot feels uncomfortable.

Not only the pilots in the sky. Even the reconnaissance satellites in outer space feel very uncomfortable. Where is the real target among these flames?

In this way, it was not until the Scud missile was launched, left the ground and entered a high altitude, that the rocket engine was still in the last ten seconds of ignition, and the DSP reconnaissance satellite captured the flames.

Discover the target! The US space command base is extremely tight, and the number of missiles launched in this batch is more than twenty. Where are they going to attack? Is it Riyadh? Or Dhahran? Or?

More than twenty seconds later, as they continuously tracked the trajectory of the Scud missiles, after calculation, they finally got a shocking result: the target of this batch of Scud missiles is the gathering place of their own troops at a border of no more than 200 kilometers!

The Scud missile is to attack the 3rd armored cavalry regiment that is being supplied!

"Quick. Issue an early warning to make the armored troops move quickly!" General Schwartzkopf, who received the news, was also panicked and gave his order.

Damn, Scud missile, when will it attack the ground forces?

Because the guidance accuracy of this backward ballistic missile is very poor and the launch preparation time is long, when it starts to launch, the moving targets on the ground have long been gone. Therefore, although the Scud missile claims to be able to attack moving targets, in fact, the Scuds launched in the Iraq-Iran War are all targeting fixed ground targets.

Just kidding! Even the target that cannot be moved is accurate, how can the target that moves? Therefore, in order to prevent the Scud missiles, the US military has increased the layout of the Patriot Missile Battalion and is responsible for air defense in the area, so as to avoid the tragedy of Dhahran.

But now, the Iraqis have changed their direction and stopped fighting fixed targets. They have attacked their own troops!

It was less than two hundred kilometers, only a few minutes, but a minute wasted due to monitoring the Scud missile. After passing General Schwartzkopf's decision, it was too late when the order was passed to the front line troops.

Transfer! Transfer immediately! At this time, the m1a1 tank has insufficient information capability, and the main commands are still transmitted by radio. When the commander of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment issued the order loudly in the radio, there were already hot highlights in the distant sky.

The Scud missile has dived from high altitude. Due to the speed of several Mach, the warheads and the atmosphere are violently rubbed violently, and it looks so clear.

At this moment, Captain Mike forgot his fear. He raised his head and looked at the few light spots falling like meteors in the dark night sky, his mind was full of doubt.

Our side arrived here just twenty minutes ago and was attacked by Iraqi Scud missiles. How did they know that our side was here?

Unfortunately, no one answered his question. The personnel of the gas truck took off the gas pipe in panic and started the car frantically and wanted to leave. The tanks also closed the hatch and rumbled to start the engine.

Scud missiles, want to attack this tank unit on its own? Dream! If it is a multi-rocket launcher attack from the Soviets with a coverage attack, it is possible. Now, there are only a few Scud missiles. No matter how high the hit accuracy of this missile is, it is limited. In addition, the accuracy problem is that those who can be bombed will be unlucky!

In the past few dozen seconds when the Scud missile flew overhead, the ground troops were moving quickly. However, because of panic, several tanks collided together, and one tank directly knocked over the refueling car.

"Boom!" Just before the warhead of the Scud missile reached the ground, it exploded in the air. The huge fireball instantly appeared in the sky, so bright and so hot.

Almost at this moment, Captain Mike suddenly realized that these Iraqi Scud missiles were equipped with fuel and air bombs! This is a weapon specially prepared for large-scale personnel killing!

On a area of ​​several square kilometers, the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment of the 18th Airborne Army suffered a devastating blow.

More than 20 warheads, fifteen of which flew accurately to the sky above the 3rd Armored Cavalry regiment that was being replenished. The explosion of each warhead brought death. The blazing flames burned the oxygen in the surrounding air. Countless American soldiers hiding in the tanks, trying to withstand the attack of the high-explosive warheads of the ballistic missiles with their strong armor, all covered their necks in pain.

Even the tanks with nuclear and biochemical protection need oxygen supply. After losing oxygen, they all turned their lips purple, their eyes protruded, and their death was quite tragic.

At the same time, the explosion of these ballistic missiles also ignited the fuel in the refueling vehicles. The fuel that originally supplied armored troops to the front line has now become burning fuel, with flames everywhere and miserable everywhere.

On the right wing of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, the French were also frightened. The 6th French Light Armored Division originally planned to invade Kuwait with the Americans, and was full of glory. Now, seeing the Iraqi ballistic missiles destroyed the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, the French's first reaction was to leave here quickly and find a safe place!

Just now, a Scud missile that was shot missed almost flew past the edge of the 6th Light Armored Division and fell into the desert next to it. Fortunately, the warhead did not explode!

Following behind the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, the 24th Mechanized Infantry Division, which also belongs to the 18th Army, is another reaction, they want to avenge their comrades!

When the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment was attacked by the Scud missile and suffered heavy losses, General Schwartzkopf's face suddenly turned pale.

That was an armored regiment, a total of thousands of troops! Damn Iraqis!

This night, Iraq fired more than 100 Scud missiles, focusing on attacking the invading US Army. However, most of them were knocked away, and only this unit was fighting very accurately.

Before the attack was started, he suffered such a huge loss. An armored regiment was about to be cancelled! The United States was very angry, and the consequences were very serious!

The offense was half an hour ahead of the scheduled time, and at 3:30 in the morning, the general offensive began!

The five-way army entered southern Iraq and Kuwait at the same time. The 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment was attacked by ballistic missiles and suffered heavy losses, which made these troops cheer up. Don’t stay in the same place for more than twenty minutes. You must advance, advance, and then advance!

In the sky, fighter planes were roaring by, and air supremacy had completely fallen into the hands of the joint army. Their key task was to continue searching for Iraq's mobile Scud missiles and destroy them!

Since the war started, except for the Iraqi Air Force that launched several stubborn resistances and was crushed by the coalition forces, the Iraqi Air Force has become negative and made no achievements. After Iraq's long-range radars and field radars were destroyed by the coalition forces, Iraq has no surface-to-air missiles. Therefore, now the entire Iraq, including over Kuwait, belongs to the coalition forces.

Four F-16 fighter jets flew through the air, with six Mavericks air-to-ground missiles under the wings, and two self-defense rattlesnake missiles on the wings. Their mission is to patrol and search for those Iraqi Scud missiles.

The Maverick missile is a low-cost, effective air-to-ground missile that can easily destroy tank vehicles, even light warships, and deal with several missile launchers. It is too easy. As long as you can find the target, you can launch a strike at any time!

From south to north, they were conducting a purposeless search. There were almost a dozen of these four-machine formations at the same time.
