"Do you really think we have no hope?" Ernest said when he saw Lin Rui.
"It's not just me who thinks so. Even you and the generals under you don't believe that you can confront the Moroccan army head-on." Lin Rui replied, "It's just because of face, you can't say that.
But you didn't hire us to make me give you face. Instead, let me help you get out of trouble and get the best possible outcome. " Lin Rui replied.
"Well, I can try to convince everyone that you have full command authority. But there will still be one of our personnel in name to act as the commander." Ernest finally made up his mind.
"This is the best, because we have no time to waste. To win this battle, we need to do a lot of preparations. There are a lot of extra preparations, and we should start it in time." Lin Rui replied.
Ennisto nodded in agreement.
In the early hours of September 27, two mechanized brigades and two independent armored battalions of Moroccan forces launched a rapid raid along the intended route.
As expected by the actuary, in order to get rid of the influence of Algeria as much as possible, the Moroccan troops circumvented the border with Algeria.
For this, the Moroccans also paid a certain price. They established supply points in two remote areas to ensure the fuel and supplies of the combat team.
And the Air Force was dispatched for reconnaissance, and a formation of 4 American F16+ fighter jets served as reconnaissance.
Compared with other models in the family, this fighter has a substantial improvement in performance. It is mainly reflected in the replacement of Hewlett-Packard's new aero-engine with increased thrust, improved cockpit interface, improved fire control radar and avionics, and increased the variety of mounted weapons.
With anti-radar and enhanced ability to throw jdam, this type of fighter entered US military service in 1993. It can be said that it is currently one of the most advanced fighter jets in Africa.
The armored troops did not stop waiting, but received the signals sent by the fighter planes during the high-speed march. The information sent back by the F16 fighter jets shows that they have found the base of the Popular Front of Western Sahara and are conducting close reconnaissance around the base.
While they were talking, there was an exclamation from the fighter pilot, "Damn, they're attacking us. It's a ZSU-23-4! Not one, there are several."
This ZSU-23-4 anti-aircraft gun was developed by the former Soviet Union in the 1960s and has been in combat for many years, although it has been in existence for more than 50 years. But still the most effective anti-aircraft gun car, the pilot's worst nightmare.
ZSU-23-4 anti-aircraft gun vehicle. ZSU means anti-aircraft self-propelled artillery, 23 means the caliber of the artillery is 23 mm, and 4 refers to the 4-barrel gun.
This anti-aircraft gun vehicle is equipped with four 23mm cannons with a rate of fire of 850 to 1000 times per minute. The most effective distance is within 2.5 kilometers. Once close to this range, it is almost impossible for planes and helicopters to escape.
This anti-aircraft vehicle has participated in actual combat in the Middle East, Africa, Vietnam, Afghanistan and other places. During the Six-Day War and the War of Atonement, even though the Israeli Air Force was indeed well-trained, it was a headache to face such ZSU-23-4 anti-aircraft vehicle positions.
Because this thing is equipped with a J-band radar, it can detect aircraft within 20 kilometers of the flight altitude, and the firing control is quite simple. In the latest version, with a new CNC system, a laser ranging range and an infrared thermal imager, the detection performance has been improved.
In order to avoid the range of the ZSU-23-4, it can only drop bombs from high altitudes, but this can easily expose its whereabouts and become the target of anti-aircraft missiles.
Originally, the Moroccan Air Force thought it was difficult for the Western Saharan troops to pose a threat to them, but they did not expect that the Western Saharan troops had ambushed an anti-aircraft artillery position in advance.
Forcing several F16s to raise their heights to avoid the dense anti-aircraft fire from below. But they overlooked that this type of ZSU-23-4 anti-aircraft gun is usually not used alone, but in combination with other anti-aircraft weapons.
The Western Sahara People's Front is quite rudimentary, but this does not prevent them from getting the s125 air defense missiles of the former Soviet Union, also known as the Sam-3 air defense missiles.
An all-weather short-range surface-to-air missile for intercepting low- and medium-altitude aircraft. It is also the equipment of the 1960s, using a 4-mounted missile launcher. A SAM-3 missile battalion is equipped with 4 of these launchers. This allows up to 16 missiles to be fired at a time.
Using the fragmentation method, the number of fragments can reach 3,670, and 4 missiles can be salvoed to form more than 15,000 fragments.
It is this anti-aircraft missile of the 1960s, but it has an indelible glorious experience.
In the 1999 Kosovo War, the Yugoslav Allied Air Forces used this missile to shoot down the world's most advanced US F117 stealth bomber. Thus breaking the myth that stealth fighters cannot be shot down.
Because of the advantages of equipment, the Moroccan troops have reconnaissed in this area many times before, and the Western Sahara side has not responded. In this way, they are a little paralyzed, and the Western Sahara military is really too backward.
It is not the first time that the Moroccan Air Force has carried out a mission without opening an air corridor. Pilots are also used to it. Unexpectedly, when the height was lowered for reconnaissance, it was attacked by anti-aircraft artillery.
This forced the pilots to immediately increase the flight altitude, but only a few seconds later the fighter's radar suddenly sounded, and the pilot shouted desperately "It's a missile, we are locked by a missile."
In the subsequent loud noise, an F16 fighter jet completely lost contact. The Moroccan military commander who was listening to the report at the headquarters was also shocked by the sudden loud noise. He picked up the communication headset and said loudly, "Report the situation, I want you to report the situation on 003."
About a few seconds later ~www.readwn.com~ came a communication from another pilot, "No. 003 has been shot down, the pilot completed the ejection and escape before being shot down. Another No. 001 was hit by anti-aircraft artillery, we are in Emergency return. Repeat we are returning..."
"Damn, they shot down an F16." The Moroccan commander looked a little frustrated.
"Sir, judging from the current intelligence, they are not only equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft artillery, but also equipped with certain medium and short-range anti-aircraft missiles.
This was not mentioned in our previous intelligence..." An officer whispered beside him.
"They have an anti-aircraft artillery battalion. Sam-3 missiles are pretty cheap now and easy to get. This has nothing to do with intelligence, we are too underestimated.
But it also gave us a signal that there is likely to be the general headquarters of the enemy army. Otherwise they wouldn't have that many anti-aircraft weapons.
We lost an F16, but most likely we caught a big fish. Since this enemy command headquarters is so important, it is very likely that they are responsible for the deployment of all Western Saharan troops. "The Moroccan commander looked grim.
