Chapter 028, Falcon in the sky

At night, the cold wind was howling in the valley. Xiami led more than 20 people to wait at the top of the valley. This is the famous Wolf Valley outside Basra and the only way to the airport.

These twenty-odd people were selected by Xiami from the Badr Brigade. They are the best at using anti-tank rocket launchers. There are not many of them in Iraq, except for the AK47 and RPG-7 anti-tank rocket launchers. Although the power of these rocket launchers made by the former Soviet Union is not It's so big that most of today's main battle tanks can't penetrate it, but under certain conditions, it can create miracles.

For example, in the terrain of Wolf Valley, Xiami and the others are condescending. Almost all the tanks passing below are their targets, and the Iraqis are all driving old-fashioned T72 tanks. This kind of tank was manufactured in the late 1970s. Although it was once popular, After a while, it becomes fragile in the 21st century.

Of course, old-fashioned bazookas are no match for old-fashioned tanks, so Xiami asked the twenty-four people to form a group of two and ambush on both sides of the valley. They used armor-piercing projectiles with tandem warheads. The important thing was It's not destruction, but paralysis.

After Canglong greeted him, he saw the tank approaching from a distance. The weather today was good, and the visibility under the moonlight was still very high. In addition, they were at a high altitude and below zero, so they had the right time and place. As for people and people, then It just depends on luck, but Xiami is very confident.

When the tank drove into the valley, it began to slow down. Xiami could clearly see the machine gunner on the tank looking around the valley with vigilance. It was obvious that they knew that the terrain of Wolf Valley was very unfavorable to the tank. The tank's turret was Due to the angle, it is difficult to hit the enemies on both sides of the valley. The only protection is the heavy machine gun.

When the tanks slowly drove into the valley, Xiami was not anxious. Instead, he reassured the Iraqis and said, "Don't act rashly. Wait until they all move in and act according to the predetermined plan."

The team members, who were a little excited at first, all calmed down and waited for the first tank. When it was about to leave the valley, Xiami picked up the rocket launcher, pointed it at a boulder at the exit, and pulled the trigger. The rocket exploded in the dark night. It drew a dazzling light and flew towards the boulder at the exit.

There was a "boom" explosion, and the boulder collapsed, directly blocking the exit of the valley. At the same time, the attack just now also caused the reaction of the machine gunner on the tank. The bullets flashed in the night and kept shooting at Xiami and the others. Here, dozens of tanks opened fire at the same time, like countless fireworks exploding.

"Team B fire." Xiami hid and shouted into the radio.

Team B on the other side of the valley simultaneously picked up the rpg-7 and fired at the tank below. Five consecutive shots hit the machine gunner on the tank. When the machine gunner below reacted and found that there were enemies on the other side, Xiami He picked up the rocket launcher and ordered his team A to aim at the undamaged tanks.

For a moment, explosions, screams and machine gunfire were mixed together. More than twenty tanks were caught off guard. The commander seemed a little confused. He did not issue an order to return, but continued to stalemate with Xiami and the others here. So it hit the mark.

The counterattack below was very chaotic, but the attack from above was orderly. There were enemies on both sides, so the machine gunners didn't know which way to attack.

Half an hour later, Xiami picked up the radio and gave the evacuation instructions, and then reported to Canglong: "Boss, it's done, they will never be able to go to the airport."

At the base, after hearing Xiami's report, Canglong knew that he had successfully completed the mission, and now it was up to Bai Wuchang.

Before Canglong received the report, Lieutenant General Kud received the news that the tank battalion was attacked in the Wolf Valley. At that time, he sat down and looked pale. Being attacked in terrain like the Wolf Valley basically had no hope. , but more shocking news came soon after.

A fighter jet suddenly appeared in the sky above the air force base, and their radar only discovered the plane when it was only two kilometers away from the air force base. Moreover, it was the fighter jet that climbed up on its own before it was captured by the radar. At first, they thought it was a U.S. military aircraft. Support came, but they soon discovered that they were wrong, because one of the radar identification and radio contacts was judged to be an enemy plane, while the other did not respond. So the plane entered Basra Air Base, as if entering an uninhabited land, and was lost. After dropping a large number of aerial bombs, they flew away. When they reacted, the entire air force base was on fire, and the huge explosion was heard as far away as Basra.

"J-7, how is that possible? Where did the Badr Brigade get the fighter jets?" As soon as the communication was restored, Kud received news from the airport commander.

"It's definitely a J-7, and it's a relatively superior model, the J-7m." the commander reported with certainty.

"How's the damage to the airport?" Kuder asked again.

"Most of the aircraft are intact. This fighter jet seems to have attacked the airport's channel. However, two hangars are still on fire and are being rescued now," the commander reported.

The Kurds looked pale, the tank battalion was paralyzed, and the airport was bombed. It seemed that the Badr Brigade was not just attacking them, but was going to start a full-scale war with them.

Kurd immediately contacted Colonel Mike at the US military base, reported all the situations he encountered, and asked the US military to send troops for support. In fact, Colonel Mike had already known all this because the radar station at the base had already detected it. this plane.

But he didn't send military reinforcements because he didn't have fighter jets. How could all the helicopters compete with the fighter jets? What if all the troops were sent out and the fighter jets came to attack his base.

But the situation seemed to be different from what he imagined. The Badr Brigade came well prepared this time, obviously preparing to fight a war, not as simple as the previous attacks. When this idea first appeared in his mind, he even thought it was It is unbelievable, but all the current circumstances indicate the purpose and intention of the Badr Brigade. If the entire main military base in Basra falls due to delaying the fighter plane, he will have to return to Washington to get his retirement certificate.

"Are all your people pigs? You park all the planes at the airport as targets and decorations." Colonel Mike scolded directly, which made Lieutenant General Kud over there very embarrassed. It's a pity that his lieutenant general is not as good as others. Where's the colonel?

"Immediately send out fighter planes to intercept. My people will arrive at the airport within half an hour. We must not let the airport fall." Colonel Mike said coldly.

"But there are no fighter jets at the airport, not even armed helicopters. Apart from transport planes, they are reconnaissance planes. Are you going to let us use a reconnaissance plane to intercept a supersonic fighter jet?" Kurd seemed to be venting the usual American stinginess. Angry that Iraqi security forces are not allowed to possess aircraft that pose a threat to U.S. forces.

Colonel Mike was immediately speechless. This order was indeed a bit embarrassing. If a few reconnaissance planes were to hunt down the J-7m, they would probably just eat people's dust from behind, and even risk being wiped out. After all, the Iraqi army reconnaissance planes were almost as powerful as There was no difference between fighter jets during World War II, and the weapons mounted on them were all machine guns, while the J-7m mounted cannons.

But Colonel Mike thought of something: "Isn't there another F16 in the hangar of Basra Air Base? Why not take off the F16?"

Hearing this, Kurd looked embarrassed: "This F16 has just entered Basra Air Base, and the pilot has not had time to make its maiden flight. How can it fight."

But Colonel Mike knew very well what Kurdish was planning. He was worried about something going wrong with the F16. After all, the new Iraqi government had only purchased a total of eighteen F16s, and it took a long time to deliver two of them to Iraq. , trained in Baghdad for a long time, and finally sent one to Basra Air Base, mainly to allow the pilots to adapt to the F16, and the United States is also cautious about arms sales to Iraq. After all, giving the F16 to Iraq means that U.S. allies will be threatened.

"I don't care what method you use, if you can't guarantee to shoot down this plane, my troops will not leave the base, and we cannot bear the risk of being attacked by air attacks to support you." Colonel Mike said coldly, the meaning is very clear, you don't If you're willing to bleed profusely, I won't bother to care about you.

Originally, Kuder wanted to say, your people bear the risk of being attacked by air strikes, but my people don't bear the risk of air strikes, but the situation made him block this sentence in his heart, and he could only agree with heartache: "Okay."

The people at the air force base had been prepared for a long time, but they couldn't move the plane without orders from above.

When the F16 took off, there was a US military radar index, and it quickly chased the J-7M. After sitting in the base and seeing the F16 attack on the radar, Colonel Mike sent dozens of helicopters and a squadron of troops to the Basra Air Force. base.

"No matter what you want to do, or where your plane comes from, what I have to do now is to shoot you down." Colonel Mike looked at the radar with confidence. After all, the F16 is a third-generation fighter, while the J-7m is a second-generation fighter. Fighters are not a competition at the same level at all.

After Bai Wuchang dropped the bomb, he returned to the mountains without looking back. But when he started to fly low to avoid radar and prepare to land in the hole, suddenly Canglong's voice came from the radio: "There is a plane that has just arrived from Basra." Taking off from the air force base, looking at the speed, it should be a fighter jet."

"Fighter." Bai Wuchang cursed, "Damn it, where did the fighter come from?"

"Anyway, you can't land now. Once we land in the base, we will all be exposed. The only way is to kill it." Canglong said calmly.

"Kill him. You asked me to mount all the aerial bombs. Now they are all abandoned at Basra Air Force Base. How can I kill him? How can I use aerial cannons to aim them?" Bai Wuchang said angrily.

"This is the time to test your skills." Canglong smiled calmly, "Oh, I think this speed should be F16. Well, I have caught up with you. I am still about ten kilometers away from you. I hope you are lucky. "

"Fuck, you asked me to use the J-7M to deal with the F-16, or the J-7 without air-to-air missiles, you think I'm a god." Bai Wuchang was very angry, but he suddenly thought of a question, "Strange, when did the Iraqi Air Force have It’s f16.”

But at this time, Canglong had turned off the radio, and an alarm suddenly sounded in his cabin, and the plane behind him had locked onto him.

"Damn, this cheating guy, I have to be a hero this time." Bai Wuchang turned around and started to pull up. His only hope now is that this rookie Iraqi pilot is better, otherwise he will definitely die.
