Chapter 1291 The Change of Times (Third update, please subscribe)
The water of the Euphrates River gently rocked the boats on the river, the gentle breeze blew the reeds, and the reed flowers floating in the wind had a gentle Beautiful, the whole reed is surrounded by a romantic pure white.
River, boats, reed flowers!
All this is as beautiful as an oil painting. On the nearby road, a T34 tank is half-buried behind the fortifications. The black muzzle points straight ahead. A group of Iraqi soldiers on duty nearby look into the distance from time to time. , but most of the time, they cast their sights on the sky.
Their biggest threat comes from the sky - air strikes never stop, bombing by fighter jets and attacks by helicopters.
However, most of them were holding rifles and huddled there smoking cigarettes. Some soldiers were complaining and why they were resisting.
"King, the king has always ruled here, why should we stop the king?"
"That's because our brigade commander is Qasim's nephew..."
< br>“Qasim is dead a long time ago!”
Not everyone gave up resistance, some people still chose to resist, such as Qasim’s relatives, such as near Baghdad, Qasim Create a support base by providing 34,000 homes and jobs.
But for these soldiers, they are simply not willing to die to protect the dead.
While people were complaining, suddenly Hassan heard the sound in the air, and he immediately shouted:
"Don't talk, there is something moving in the sky!"
At the same time, Hassan looked into the sky. After searching for a while, Hassan followed the area where the sound came from and found a stable small black spot.
"Plane! It's a reconnaissance plane of the Nanyang people! Quick, find a place to hide!"
When the sharp-eyed Iraqi soldiers saw the plane appearing in the sky, they all shouted in terror and started to stand up. The running men ran back to the trenches at great speed and jumped in.
Hassan also ran to the edge of the trench, turned over and jumped in as quickly as possible. There were many people running over in front of him, and there were more companions running back behind him. . Some guys, perhaps because they were too nervous, actually fell down while running towards the trenches.
"Quick! Hurry, Mohammed, run!"
Lying on the trench, Hahuo saw Mohammed running on the way back, and rushed towards him anxiously Shouting loudly.
“Get down quickly! It’s the eyes of death!”
"Death is coming!"
At this moment, there was a whistling sound in the air, and rockets fell from the sky like iron rain.
This is Nanyang's "Thunderstorm" rocket launcher. From the first time it was put into actual combat in India, in the past ten years, it has long become a famous brand of Southeast Asian weapons, selling well in more than a dozen countries, and has performed extremely well in previous wars.
And in Iraq, it transformed into a real god of death.
And there are signs of its appearance. First, those small unmanned reconnaissance drones appeared above their heads, and then the drones began to hover above their heads.
Then, in no time, shells or rockets would rain down on their heads.
It is precisely because of this that those unmanned reconnaissance drones are nicknamed "The Eyes of Death" or "The God of Death".
The moment rockets fell like raindrops, continuous explosions enveloped the entire highway in an instant, and the thunderous explosions tore through the silence on the highway.
These rockets exploded in the air under the action of proximity fuses. Each rocket exploded 35 bullets in the air. Each submunition contained nearly a thousand small steel balls. A rocket will produce tens of thousands of steel balls at the moment of explosion, which will not only bring a devastating blow to unprotected infantry, but steel balls weighing 12 grams can even destroy targets such as trucks.
At the moment when the explosion area was shrouded in billowing smoke, hundreds of thousands of steel balls roared and flew around. The devastating blow caused by the rocket launcher was far beyond people's imagination. The Iraqis who were involved in it The soldiers didn't even react before they were torn into pieces by the rain of steel falling from the sky.
After a round of rockets washed the ground, Hassan saw Mehmed - like everyone else, he had turned into a pile of minced meat. In the smoke that had not yet cleared, there was blood and blood everywhere!
Breathing the choking smell of gunpowder smoke, Hassan was dumbfounded like everyone else. They did not have any joy after surviving, only fear from the bottom of their hearts.
"Death, Death..."
Suddenly, someone pointed at the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft in the sky and screamed in horror. It was still hovering in the sky. What does this mean?
Death will come again at any time!
Hassan, like others, also saw the reconnaissance drone hovering above their heads, but in this open area, they had nowhere to hide. In order not to wait for themselves to be hit by rockets dropped from the sky, Exploded to pieces, Hassan suddenly shouted:
"Are there any sheets?"
Soon a white sheet was taken out by them, and they waved the white sheet at the drone and short-sleeved vests.
This is the first time in history that a human has surrendered to a drone.
Such a scene was naturally transmitted hundreds of kilometers away through television cameras. The drone operator looked at these surrendering Iraqi soldiers. Although the picture was a bit blurry, he still saw their heartfelt fear. !
He couldn't help but said:
"Sir, you see they are surrendering to our reconnaissance plane..."
Looking at the scene in front of him, the officer was stunned for a while and said:
"Perhaps, we have changed the pattern of the battlefield!"
Almost half an hour later, Captain Cheng Zihai stood on the tank, looking into the distance. The billowing black smoke when he first arrived here could not be seen in his field of vision, and the sound of gunfire was already far away from him.
In front of him were hundreds of Iraqi soldiers who were surrendering with their hands raised high. They walked over with white flags and raised their hands. They threw weapons such as Mosin Nagant and AK47 on the ground. Not far away, there were also There are two intact T34/85 tanks.
"Sir, is this a war?" At this time, the gunner Qi Guowei, who came out of the turret, looked at these Iraqi soldiers and said:
"I thought it was a war. It should be a fight to the death, but now..."
Looking at the Iraqis in front of him, Qi Guowei didn't even know how to describe his feelings.
It feels like a punch to the cotton—a feeling of powerlessness.
“This is war!”
Cheng Zihai said:
“War is life and death, but because our war technology is far ahead of theirs, they... There is no way to fight.”
After taking a puff of cigarette and sitting on the turret, Cheng Zihai glanced at the sky, where dozens of armed helicopters and dozens of utility helicopters were roaring over their heads. .
"So, facing death, they chose to surrender..."
This kind of technical suppression is something they have never felt. For the Iraqi army and even the armies around the world, their attitude towards war is Our understanding is still in the World War II era, but Nanyang has ushered in a new era of war. Such a war model has never been experienced by even a large country, let alone a small country like Iraq.
In a military airport near Najaf, the Soviet military advisers were also at a loss. Electronic interference not only interfered with the radar, but also interfered with radio communications.
“We have become completely deaf and blind. We can neither see the enemy nor hear any instructions.”
Looking at the Iraqi soldiers at the airport, Korshevich’s His brows knitted together and he said:
"Is this the war model we need to face in the future? Is this how Westerners fight?"
"I don't know,"
Nicola shook his head and stared at those Iraqis The man said:
“Now, we must consider one thing, whether to stay here and become prisoners of the Nanyang people, or to leave here!”
Looking at the major beside him, Ni Gula said:
"If we don't leave, we will all be captured, Comrade Major."
"Leave?"
Korsevich asked:
"Go there ?”
“Go to Baghdad first. Before we can move, leave here, go to Baghdad to join our comrades, and then go to Syria. Our advisory group is also there, and we can go to Egypt from there. ”
"How to get there? The runway at the airport has been destroyed, and they are still guarding the planes..."
Korsevich lowered his voice and said:
"The Iraqi Air Force is full of protective gear. The Royal Party, they will never allow us to get close to the plane!”
“Drive!”
Nicholas said:
"I have an Iraqi friend who I have a good relationship with. He said he could get us a truck so we can ride out of here."
"What about the planes here?"
Cole Shwevich set his sights on those hangars - there were MiG-19 fighter jets parked in the hangars, which were provided to Iraq by the Soviet Union. They were here to train Iraqi pilots and ground crews.
“The most important thing now is that we survive. Besides, some officers have already escaped!”
Soon, Korshovich and his group of more than 20 people drove A Foton truck quietly left the air force base. Less than half an hour after they left, a group of Nanyang Army officers and soldiers drove into the base without encountering any resistance. Most of the Iraqi pilots were trained during the King's era, and there were even some The pilot once went to Nanyang for training - learning to fly F1 fighter jets.
The arrival of the Nanyang Army was naturally welcomed by them, and the leading intelligence officer asked about the whereabouts of the Soviet advisers as soon as they met.
After learning that they had left, the intelligence officer breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Okay, the biggest trouble is finally solved..."
For Nanyang, the Soviet advisers in Iraq are the biggest trouble. Since those people cannot be taken as prisoners, let alone killed, the best way is to let them leave on their own.
And their leaving naturally saved them a lot of trouble.
On the fifth day of the outbreak of the war, the flag of the Kingdom of Iraq was raised in Najaf, and tens of thousands of soldiers marched straight towards the city of Baghdad.
It was at this time that news came from the north - the troops sent to the north by Qasim to suppress the Kurdish uprising announced an uprising. They killed left-wing and pan-Arab officers and fought with Kurdish forces reached a ceasefire agreement and declared allegiance to the king.
At this moment, Iraq has really changed!
Baghdad, which was already in turmoil, finally lowered the flag of the Republic and raised the flag of the Kingdom of Iraq after five days of chaos.
The royalists in the city immediately took control of the entire Baghdad!
