The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

Iraqi tanks and aircraft were being destroyed.

But similarly, the anti-tank artillery positions and machine gun fire points exposed by Kuwaiti defense positions were constantly overturned and destroyed in the constant explosions.

Kuwaiti tanks were also facing Iraqi attacks.

At the beginning of the battle, although Iraq suffered considerable losses, it was an indisputable fact that the Iraqi army was more powerful.

It was just that Kuwait was equipped with advanced tanks, which were not easy to be destroyed.

The tanks of both sides were fighting.

Facing Kuwait's advanced tanks, many Iraqi tanks suffered and were killed by a single shot from a distance.

"Damn it, these sealed tanks should not appear on the battlefield!" Prince Fahd was furious when he saw the M68 Patton tanks being blown up one by one.

Originally, the Kuwaiti army had all been replaced with advanced tanks.

Because they were facing war, in order to strengthen the tank strength of the troops, they used the Patton tanks that were previously equipped and later sealed from the United States.

But the facts proved that the Patton tanks could not stop the Iraqi tank main guns and anti-tank guns, anti-tank rockets, and anti-tank missiles.

These Patton tanks had poor armor defense, short range, and poor mobility!

At this time, the Kuwaiti Air Force finally came to support.

Although Iraq had more air forces, it was hit by anti-aircraft missiles and was not superior in number at this time.

However, the Iraqi Air Force had experienced the ten-year war between Iran and Iraq, and its combat effectiveness was much stronger than that of the Kuwaiti Air Force.

Even if they were flying the same type of aircraft, the Kuwaiti Air Force could not beat them.

Kuwait had anti-aircraft missiles, and Iraq also had anti-aircraft missiles!

Moreover, Iraq's level of use of anti-aircraft missiles was higher than that of Kuwait.

The military literacy of Iraqi soldiers was also far stronger than that of Kuwaiti soldiers.

The Kuwaiti army, which had never experienced war, was so scared that some soldiers forgot to fire their guns at this time; some soldiers held their guns and fired randomly at the Iraqi armored group one or two kilometers away; some soldiers even had their guns exhausted, but they still held the trigger tightly, and the bolts kept moving back and forth, making a "click-click-click~" sound of empty machines. In this case, the Kuwaiti soldiers still didn't know how to change the magazines.

The best performance of the Kuwaiti army was the air defense force, followed by the tank force.

As for the infantry, the performance was very poor.

But this is a common problem for soldiers who have never been on the battlefield. No one will not be nervous when they go to the battlefield for the first time.

The mercenaries on the other side were ready at this time.

5,000 mercenaries faced an armored division.

An armored division in Iraq is equipped with an armored brigade and a mechanized brigade.

This armored division is equipped with Type 59 medium tanks, Type 69 medium tanks, T54 tanks, and T55 tanks. The most advanced tank is the T72 tank, followed by the T62 tank!

The goal of this armored division this time is to tear apart the defense line of the Kuwaiti army here.

The steel torrent rolled in, and the sky was full of dust.

The Iraqi soldiers were very relaxed. Although they didn't want to fight, the combat order had been issued. They had to fight even if they didn't want to fight. What they had to do now was to defeat the Kuwaiti army, march to Kuwait City, and occupy Kuwait City.

The Iraqi soldiers looked down on the Kuwaiti soldiers in their hearts. After all, Iraqi soldiers had fought on the battlefield, while the Kuwaiti soldiers had never fought a war. They were completely rookies.

The Iraqi armored division crossed the border and entered Kuwait.

In the air, Iraqi air force fighters were flying, providing air cover.

Even at night, this had to be done.

When the distance was still 2 kilometers, Pang Hu, the commander of the mercenary command, gave an order: "Fight for me!"

Suddenly, the battle here started!

The first target of attack was the Iraqi air force.

The Iraqi fighter jets in the air had already been captured and locked by the radar of the anti-aircraft missiles.

Anti-aircraft missiles were fired one after another and whizzed away.

At the same time, the commander of the Iraqi armored division was horrified to find that they had entered the minefield.

Soldiers, tanks, and armored vehicles kept stepping on mines.

The speed of the entire army slowed down at once.

The soldiers of the armored division realized that something was wrong.

The minefield was the most troublesome, because no one knew whether there were mines buried, and no one knew whether there would be mines next to them.

Once an anti-tank mine exploded, it was enough to blow up the tracks and wheels of tanks and armored vehicles.

In the distance, the mercenaries drove tanks and aimed at the tanks of the Iraqi army.

They fired at a distance of two or three kilometers, and the tanks' night combat capabilities were still very strong even at night.

Through the heat emitted by the opponent's tanks, images were automatically formed for capture.

Although it was not a 100% hit rate for tank guns, even if a few tank shells destroyed a tank, it would be a big profit.

Anti-tank guns, anti-tank missiles, and anti-tank rockets are also constantly hunting targets.

Mercenaries are experienced in combat. Unlike Kuwaiti soldiers who have never been on the battlefield, mercenaries will not waste bullets and shells at will.

The military quality they show is far higher than that of the Iraqi army.

Although there is no air force support, the anti-aircraft missiles have dealt a huge blow to the Iraqi Air Force, and the mercenaries have not lost air superiority.

One of the functions of anti-aircraft weapons is to attack and destroy enemy aircraft or missiles.

If you don't have air superiority, the other side won't want air superiority either.

"Damn it, when did Kuwait have such a powerful force!" The commander of the Iraqi armored division roared.

Originally, he thought that this journey would be the smoothest, because according to reconnaissance, there were no Kuwaiti troops in this area, and the defense was sparse.

But he didn't expect that he would fall into a great disadvantage as soon as he attacked.

Because he broke into the minefield, he didn't know where the mines were around. Soldiers, tanks, and armored vehicles kept detonating mines, and the explosions were really terrifying.

Coupled with the powerful anti-aircraft firepower, it caused huge losses to the air force.

The ground forces kept having their own tanks destroyed, which made the commander furious.

He had never been so embarrassed and suffered such a huge loss even when fighting with the Persians!

He couldn't understand why Kuwait put an elite force here to defend instead of putting it in the middle.

But it is obvious that he must change his current predicament now, otherwise there will be huge losses. Even if he arrives in Kuwait City in time to join other troops, he will definitely not have a good ending.

But now, the complex battlefield environment, even the communication is unstable, and he is promoted based on his background, and he does not have such a strong battlefield response ability. At this time, he can't help but be overwhelmed in the command vehicle.

Every minute and every second, there may be losses.

And suddenly, the command vehicle ran over the anti-tank mine, and with a loud bang, the command vehicle was directly overturned.
