Chapter 1778 For Whom the Bell Tolls (First Update, Please Subscribe)
A few minutes later, the roar was heard again over the airport.

A large number of C-130 and C-141 transport planes landed at a rate of one per minute, and the runway instantly became busy. As soon as the planes stopped, the doors opened quickly, and more soldiers and heavy equipment came out in a line.

These transport planes took off from military bases in Iraq and flew to Libya via Jordan and Israel. According to the plan, after they controlled and occupied the airport, they immediately launched an attack on the Libyan army.

Heavy equipment such as tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery were quickly unloaded, and soldiers quickly assembled and prepared to advance into the city.

The airborne troops were divided into several teams, led by SEA agents and liaison personnel, and quickly advanced into the city of Tripoli. Their goal was clear - to control key facilities such as the post office, radio station, and government buildings, and to launch an attack on the military camp.

Just as the airborne troops were carrying out the landing, the surface of the Mediterranean Sea appeared exceptionally calm in the night, and the moonlight sprinkled on the waves, creating a layer of silver light.

However, beneath the calm sea surface, two nuclear submarines were quietly lurking in the deep sea. In the past few days, they had been carrying out combat readiness missions in the North Atlantic. A few days ago, they received orders to enter the Mediterranean Sea.

At this time they have made preparations and are waiting for the final instructions.

"Coordinates have been entered, launch preparations complete."

Inside the submarine command cabin, the weapons commander's voice rang out, and everyone seemed extremely calm.

"emission."

With a brief command, the Tomahawk cruise missile was launched from the submarine's torpedo tube, broke through the sea surface, dragged a long tail flame, and headed straight for the predetermined target.

At the same time as the submarine launched the attack, twelve strategic bombers took off from Paradise Island and flew into the Mediterranean from the Israeli-controlled Sinai Peninsula over the Mediterranean Sea, also carrying out the same mission. Their bomb bays opened, and Tomahawk missiles were released one after another, and then the engines were ignited and they flew towards the target.

Although no surface ships were involved this time, 402 Tomahawk cruise missiles were launched in the first round of bombing, of which 384 were launched from the air by strategic bombers, while only 10 Tomahawk missiles were launched by nuclear submarines.

On the runway of the Tripoli Air Force Base, several fighter jets were parked quietly. At this moment, the airport was as calm as usual, because the coup was launched by the army and the air force had been excluded. Now the air force is basically on "vacation".

Suddenly, the soldiers on guard looked up at the sky as if they heard some noise.

"There seems to be some sound!"

There was a sound, the sound of a Tomahawk missile flying over.

But by the time they heard the sound, it was too late.

Several Tomahawk missiles hit the runway accurately, and the huge explosion instantly lit up the night sky. The fighter planes parked on the runway were blown to pieces, and the air defense facilities were also reduced to ruins under the attack of the missiles. Thick smoke and flames rose into the sky, and the entire base fell into chaos.

"Quick! Quick, evacuate immediately! Evacuate immediately!"

The officer who was awakened from his sleep shouted loudly, but his voice was soon drowned out by more explosions - the base was completely engulfed in flames.

The Benghazi Air Force Base was also devastated. The Tomahawk missiles accurately hit the hangar and fuel depot, triggering a chain of explosions. The flames lit up half the sky, and thick smoke obscured the night sky.

The soldiers in the base panicked and ran around, but there was nowhere to hide.

"What's going on? Who is bombing us?"

Someone there shouted in despair.

"It's all destroyed! It's all blown up!"

Some people collapsed on the ground, their eyes full of fear.

Even until now, they don't know what they have encountered, and they just face it all in fear.

For them, they had no idea what was happening at all. They just watched the missiles falling.

Watching everything being destroyed before their eyes, this kind of dimensionality reduction attack was something they had never experienced before.

At the end of the first round of attacks, a group of fighter jets were flying towards Libya over the Mediterranean Sea. These fighter jets, like transport planes, flew from Iraq and Elysium Island and refueled in the air. Such long-range attacks were also unprecedented. These planes were all carrying laser-guided bombs, and their mission was to carry out precision strikes on Libyan military camps.

"Target locked, ready to drop bombs."

"bomb."

As the order was given, laser-guided bombs fell from the wings and belly of the fighter jets and headed straight for the target.

The barracks seemed particularly quiet in the early morning. Most of the soldiers had fallen asleep, and only a few sentries were on patrol. Suddenly, a sharp explosion broke the tranquility of the night. The laser-guided bomb accurately hit the barracks' dormitory and command center, and the huge explosion instantly razed the building to the ground.

"Someone is bombing us! Someone is bombing us!"

The sentries shouted loudly, but their voices were soon drowned out by more explosions.

Many soldiers were killed in their sleep, without even a chance to react, and were buried directly with the barracks. The barracks were in chaos, and the survivors fled everywhere, but there was nowhere to hide.

After completing the bombing mission, these fighters did not return, but flew directly to the airports in Tripoli and Benghazi. These airports have been occupied by SEA special forces and have become outposts for the attack on Libya. "The Tripoli airport has been controlled, the runway is cleared, and it can land."

Inside the tower, the air force commander who had taken over the tower issued instructions to the fighter group via radio.

"Roger that, prepare to land."

the fighter pilot responded.

One after another, the F4 and F2 fighters landed on the runway and taxied to the apron. The cabin door opened, the pilots quickly jumped out of the plane, and the ground crew also rushed over.

The airport is now completely under their control and has become their outpost. The transport planes not only bring in troops, but also the ammunition needed for the fighter planes.

Just as the fighter jets were landing, the SH-1D truck-mounted gun parked on the grass outside the airport runway began to roar, dumping shells towards the Aziziya Barracks.

For a moment, the rumbling of artillery and explosions echoed throughout the city.

The Aziziya Barracks had become the center of the storm. During the bombardment, the defenders ran around. They relied on the barracks and stubbornly resisted the invaders' attacks.

Although the defenders only had a few old M4 tanks, they still suppressed the invaders at the intersection with the fire cover provided by these tanks. Although the attacking force had several British-made Scorpion light tanks, their thin aluminum alloy armor was obviously vulnerable.

Just when the troops' attack was suppressed, two Clouded Leopard Infantry Fighting Vehicles appeared. This 8*8 wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, named after the Sunda Clouded Leopard in Borneo, uses an advanced composite armor structure in its body design. The armor is made of high-strength steel plates that can withstand impacts of various calibers, and the additional ceramic armor can enhance its bulletproof capability.

The most lethal feature is the 30mm turret. Although its main gun has a small caliber, the 30mm fin-stabilized armor-piercing discarding sabot projectile it uses can penetrate 1000mm thick homogeneous steel armor at a horizontal inclination angle of 60 degrees at a shooting distance of 60 meters. Although it cannot deal with modern main battle tanks, it can still pose a threat to modern main battle tanks if it attacks from the side and rear. With its powerful firepower output, attacking an M4 tank is absolutely as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

As soon as the two infantry fighting vehicles appeared on the street, they used their 30mm main guns to fire at the barracks. The dense artillery shells directly shattered the wall. Flames continued to burst out from the body of the M4 tank at the gate in the tracer, and soon accompanied by a violent explosion, one M4 tank was directly blown up, and the other tank also caught fire.

Under the intensive fire attack of machine guns, the resistance of the Libyan army was being disintegrated bit by bit. At the same time, Gaddafi, who was in the basement of the barracks, was completely stunned.

After learning that the air base and military camp had been destroyed, he fell into extreme panic. Although his friends tried to organize a counterattack, the communication system had been destroyed and there was electronic interference in the air, and the command was completely interrupted.

"What should we do?" Moussa Ahmed asked somewhat desperately.

"Retreat! Retreat! We must conserve our strength!"

Jarud shouted loudly, but his voice was soon drowned out by more explosions. Amid the tremors of the underground bunker, he instinctively said:
"This is a bombardment, their artillery has arrived, damn it, we are all finished!"

As soldiers, they knew very well what the appearance of cannons meant: a large force of invaders had landed.

"What is going on? How did they get here? Where is their landing fleet?"

Until now, Gaddafi and his people are still confused.

They didn't know where the enemies came from or how they came, they just passively took the beating here.

Little did they know that the enemy launched the attack from the airport and then began to attack.

To a certain extent, this is a large-scale military coup, just more professional.

At this moment, the bombardment became more intense, and even the underground bunker was shaking violently.

At this moment, someone rushed in and shouted nervously.

"They, they attacked."

"where are they?"

Gaddafi picked up a rifle from the side with some excitement, and then walked out of the underground bunker with firm steps. He was a soldier.

He will never surrender.

When he walked out of the underground bunker, he was greeted by the choking smell of gunpowder and the whistling sound of artillery shells coming from the air.

This is the roar of heavy artillery!
Just by hearing the whistling of artillery shells in the air, Gaddafi knew that everything was over.

Just a few hours ago, he and his friends were still proud of their victory. But what about now?

This is like a pipe dream.

But this dream was shattered so quickly, so quickly that he didn't even have time to react.

Amid the violent explosion, gunshots rang out all over the military camp, and the invaders who were attacking the camp had already rushed into the camp.

Looking at the enemies coming, Gaddafi raised his rifle and shot at them like an ordinary soldier. This group of resistance elements naturally attracted the attention of the infantry fighting vehicles, and they immediately launched a intensive artillery fire...
