Chapter 610 Bosphorus Bridge

"Reina, stop playing." Lieutenant Colonel Cheno shouted on the radio. The soldiers in front were all veterans who had participated in the Vietnam War. Using machine guns to intimidate civilians and find fun were all ways to vent after fighting at that time.

To them, these Iraqis were not even human beings.

Kill anyone who's blocking the way!

"Got it, boss. These people are really boring." Reina replied on the radio. He put down the machine gun and smelled the smell of gunpowder and blood in the air. He felt a little bored.

It's not fun. If you play the game all the time, it will become boring.

The road was opened up in this way, and the cars blocking the road were pushed aside and crushed. The civilians were so scared that they dared not make a sound, watching the American tanks crush their vehicles and their belongings being destroyed.

They are clenching their fists, these Americans, you are not welcome in the Middle East!

At this moment, suddenly, the roar of an engine was heard in the distant valley, and along with the roar, the monster with fangs appeared.

The Hind helicopter! The short wings on both sides were full of anti-tank missiles, and the side of the Hind was painted with an eagle, which looked extremely ferocious.

Armed helicopters! These things are the natural enemy of ground forces! Seeing the arrival of these armed helicopters, Lieutenant Colonel Cheno instantly felt that trouble was coming.

"Quick, Stinger missiles, Stinger missiles!" His men were equipped with a certain number of Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, but they were all in the hands of the soldiers sitting in the infantry fighting vehicles in the back. The tanks in the front did not have this thing!

And at the moment the order was conveyed, the attack by the armed helicopter had already begun!

Under the short wings of the doe, tongues of flames danced, and an AT-2 anti-tank missile flew out from the helicopter!

"Shit!" Reina cursed. He was a hunter just now, but in a blink of an eye, he became a prey. The anti-tank missile was flying towards his tank!

Just as he finished cursing, the missile flew over with a sharp roar and penetrated into the side of the angular turret!

"Boom!" The M1 tank's advanced fire extinguishing and explosion suppression system did not work. Following the explosion, the ammunition inside the tank detonated and the entire turret was blown away!

Half of Reina's body rolled to the side, the corner of his mouth was still crooked, as if he was still cursing.

Leave the road and set up a field formation! Find cover and avoid air strikes! The 1st Armored Battalion on the road only reacted at this time. They quickly drove off the road and wanted to fight back. Unfortunately, the arrival of several Hind helicopters shattered their dreams. One anti-tank missile after another was fired at them fiercely!

"Air support, we need air support!" Howard, the commander of the Armored Cavalry Regiment, shouted loudly on the radio: "We have encountered an Iraqi air attack!"

Not only the Hind helicopters, but also the Su-24 attack aircraft were dispatched. The entire armored cavalry regiment might be wiped out! At this time, we must call for support from the Mediterranean! Our fighter planes must arrive as soon as possible!

At this time, Howard already regretted his alone advance and his boldness in advancing by road. However, there was no medicine for regret, he had to hold on until the air support arrived!

On the sea, the waves are rippling with blue, and a powerful war machine composed of steel monsters is making intensive preparations for battle.

On the USS Eisenhower, Captain Mark stood on the bridge and watched the white smoke rising from the deck. A Tomcat fighter, with the help of a catapult, quickly took off from the deck and soared into the sky.

The last time they attacked, they encountered a powerful opponent. It was not until the end of the mission that they realized that they were no longer facing the incomplete Iraqi Air Force, but also the mortal enemy Iranian Air Force! The Iranian Air Force actually supported Iraq! This really made the Americans very angry, this is a mortal enemy!

There must be Soviets behind the scenes! Maybe, all the pilots are Soviets! But the Soviets won't say it, so we can only turn a blind eye. Humph, those latest models of fighters, Su-27, must be piloted by Soviets!

We have encountered a strong enemy, but we are definitely not afraid! The fourth aircraft carrier battle group is gathering and preparing to go to the Red Sea. After Jordan refused to open its airspace, the attack from the Mediterranean Sea is already a long way around, so it is better to attack from the Red Sea!

While Mark was deep in thought, he saw his first mate coming hurriedly with a telegram: "Captain, the Turkish Strait is now in a serious standoff. The Soviets have dispatched more than 30 warships and are gathering at the Strait Bridge!"

Turkish Strait! Hearing this, Mark was stunned. He really didn't expect that an accident would happen here! Is the Soviet Union determined to go to war?

The Turkish Straits, also known as the Black Sea Straits, are the only channel connecting the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, including the Bosphorus Strait, the Sea of ​​Marmara and the Dardanelles Strait. This strait is the dividing line between Asia and Europe, and at the same time, it also separates the connection between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. Therefore, the Turkish Straits are related to the Soviet Union's major strategic initiative! Because the Soviet shipbuilding industry is mainly concentrated on the Black Sea coast, and the countries along the Black Sea coast have to trade in the Turkish Straits. This can be said to be one of the most important maritime throats in the world and a strategic point in Eurasia.

At the same time, the ownership of this strait now belongs to Turkey, and Turkey's territory is divided into two parts by this strait, most of which is in Asia and only a small part is in Europe. Therefore, for its own development, Turkey has to invest heavily and build a new bridge across the strait. This is the famous Bosphorus Bridge, also known as the Eurasian Bridge. It was built in 1968 and opened to traffic in 1973. The bridge is 1,560 meters long and is composed of a suspension bridge. The bridge between the two towers that cross the strait is 1,074 meters long, 33 meters wide, and 64 meters above the sea. This is the largest cable suspension bridge in Eurasia and the fourth largest suspension bridge in the world.

At the same time, the transportation of goods from Europe to Asia is also very convenient. In the past, it was necessary to take a ship, but now it can be transported directly by road! Especially now that the US military is attacking Iraq from Turkey, the transportation of logistics materials and other equipment also mainly relies on this bridge!

At this time, the Soviets' attack here was obviously for a purpose!

Put pressure on Turkey and do something bad to the United States!
