The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 522 War
Anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns opened fire like heavy rain.

The bright flame emitted from the muzzle instantly illuminated the entire position, and dense fire points like meteors streaked across the night sky and instantly covered a large area of ​​the sky.

Suddenly, there was a "boom", a dazzling flash of light flashed across the sky, and a loud bang was heard, as if the entire sky was illuminated in an instant.

A burning American plane appeared in the night sky, and the burning fireball and rising smoke mixed together. The fireball exploded in the air, fragments flew, the tail of the plane was blown off, and the fuselage drew an arc in the air, then fell to the ground like a meteor.

"Keep firing and shoot down the American devils!"

Amid the fierce artillery fire, the soldiers shouted loudly together.

Another explosion was heard, and in a flash, a fireball exploded directly in the air. Another F-4 fighter was hit. The anti-aircraft guns immediately fired in the direction of the fire. The shells hit the plane into pieces and it continued to explode and decompose in the air.

Flashes of light flashed by, and various SAM missiles on the ground opened fire, one missile after another took off and rushed towards the fleet. The fighters immediately began to dodge in the air, but some planes were still caught off guard and hit.

In the city, those camouflaged Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns kept firing shells "boom boom".

There is also the camouflaged "Aegis" air defense missile system, which is launched from time to time.

Fire once and then move position.

And every time a plane is hit, it means a considerable bonus.

The fact that mercenaries remain in Libya is itself a very risky thing.

After the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun and the "Aegis" air defense missile system have fired shells and missiles, they will be replenished.

There are also Libyan soldiers hiding in a corner of the city, holding "Vanguard" portable air defense missiles in their hands, and they will open fire after aiming.

As long as it is an aerial target, don't worry about anything else, just open fire!
Because everyone knows that the planes in the sky at this time can only be US military planes.

Today is a sleepless night for Libyans.

Because that night, the US military launched three waves of attacks!

Especially those fighter-bombers and bombers, their power is terrifying.

Of course, there were also fighter-bombers and bombers that were shot down. For the downed planes, except for some pilots who were lucky enough to parachute in time, most pilots did not even have the chance to parachute and exploded or crashed with the planes.

It was a painful night for Libyans.

Many ancient buildings that were hundreds of years old were destroyed by bombs!

Many roads and bridges were destroyed.

Many innocent people were killed or injured in the explosion.

There was even a hospital that was destroyed.

Some hospitals that were not bombed were overcrowded and were simply unable to treat so many injured people.

In just the first day, three waves of attacks destroyed all ground radars in Libya, destroyed major military targets, and forced other radar stations to shut down, paralyzing Libya's entire air defense system.

The next afternoon, just when ordinary people thought that the US military would stop, they did not expect that the US military would launch another attack.

The targets of the attack are even wider, even deep into the heart of Libya!
The US military's military actions shocked the whole world.

Because the US military's actions and attitudes are so brutal.

It's like bombing Libya back to the Stone Age.

Even the United States is too lazy to come up with other things to defend itself, and its attitude is very firm.

revenge!

Or revenge!

You can't touch a tiger's butt. If you touch a tiger's butt, the tiger may eat you. The next night, the mercenaries began to retreat to Egypt.

The mercenaries' mission has ended, and Libya no longer has any Aegis air defense missiles.

In a high-intensity combat, the missiles of the 'Aegis' air defense missile system operated by the mercenaries have been exhausted.

In this case, there is no point in staying in Libya.

Besides, Libya is so dangerous now.

As for the bonus, it will naturally be settled soon.

They had already settled the previous bonus, and it wouldn't take long to settle this time's bonus.

The mercenaries have fulfilled their contracts and can withdraw.

However, the Soviet troops and the Soviet military observation group could not withdraw.

They didn't expect that the US military would be so cruel as to dispatch such a large fleet of aircraft.

And there would be at least three bombings a day.

Their anti-aircraft machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, and SAM missiles have all been fired!
They were completely helpless. Although the US military did not drop bombs and missiles directly on the Soviet military bases in Libya, it dropped bombs and missiles near the military bases, which was purely a demonstration.

The Soviet fleet in the naval port only served as a deterrent, preventing US Navy warships from attacking the Libyan coast and US Marines from landing.

The bombing lasted for five days.

The US Navy and Air Force jointly launched air strikes on Libya, which achieved brilliant results.

Not only were all the five originally selected targets destroyed, but a large number of Libya’s military and important targets were also destroyed.

Destroyed all ground radars and all air defense missile positions in Libya!

It also caused the deaths of tens of thousands of people in Libya, including Gaddafi's one-and-a-half-year-old adopted daughter Hannah, as well as his two sons and one daughter.

At prime time on television in Washington local time, CBS reporters broadcast live from Tripoli reporting on the war.

The results were brilliant, but the United States still suffered heavy losses.

In the first two days of the "Golden Canyon" operation, we were threatened by anti-aircraft missiles, anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, and portable anti-aircraft missiles, and the losses were considerable.

Looking at the losses, the top US military brass would feel heartbroken.

Only military-industrial enterprises would celebrate, because this not only serves as a publicity for their own excellent performance, but large losses also mean that the military will make purchases, which costs money.

The United States is holding back its anger, and some officials have even publicly stated that they will not stop until Libya is bombed back to the Stone Age.

The losses in both operations were too great.

If the United States does not take advantage of the fact that Libya has almost lost all of its air force, navy, and air defense forces and bomb as much as possible to force Libya to surrender, how will it ever make up for its losses?

As long as we force Libya to surrender and obtain its oil resources, it will only take one year to make up for the losses, and the rest will be profit.

Otherwise, this war would be a huge loss.

The last thing the United States wants to do is a business that loses money.

The reason for attacking Libya is not only because Gaddafi has repeatedly done things that annoyed the United States, but also because it slapped the United States in the face. If he is not punished, it will be very bad for the United States' international image. Other small countries will provoke the United States at every turn, and the United States will not dare to attack them anyway. Another important reason is to kill Gaddafi and bring Libya back to the arms of the United States, so that the United States will have an important strategic support point in North Africa and can better exert influence in the Middle East.

Destroying Libya is not the goal. The fundamental goal is to control Libya.
