Chapter 486 Fire Coverage

Dense artillery shells flew into the sky, and the entire artillery position was shrouded in black smoke, and the earth seemed to be shaking.

On one side of the howitzer position, the real killer was constantly spitting out tongues of fire into the sky.

Multiple rocket launchers! During World War II, what the Germans feared most was the Soviet Katyusha. The dense rockets flying into the sky meant a rain of death for the enemy!

After World War II, the Soviet Union continued to improve its rocket launchers. Now, the 149th Infantry Division is equipped with the TOS-1 "Blatino" with a tracked chassis! This is a 220mm 30-tube rocket launcher developed on the T-72 chassis. The firepower is fierce and brutal. As the latest developed rocket launcher, this system is top secret and was not made public until 1999.

The TOS-1 is designed as a lightly armored self-propelled rocket launcher for fortifications in open areas. The most brutal thing about it is the warheads it is equipped with, including incendiary bombs and thermobaric bombs!

As the order was given, the multiple rocket launcher battalion also opened fire. From a visual point of view, it was very spectacular. Rockets were ignited, one after another, coming out of the launch tubes. The airflow at the tail covered the entire vehicle body, so that the ignition of the rockets launched later could not be seen at all. One could only see the rockets piercing through the white smoke and flying forward!

One after another, when it comes to covering strikes, multiple rocket launchers are more effective!

Want to launch a suicidal attack? That depends on whether there is an opportunity!

A 152mm grenade can blow a hole several meters in diameter on the ground! The ground is shaking, the sky is changing color!

The firing of multiple rocket launchers will make the covered Iranians feel that they are only a few seconds away from the true God!

Rockets flew towards the Iranian positions opposite in overwhelming numbers!

When it was launched, there was only a swishing sound. Now, as it landed on the ground, the noise was not as loud as that of a howitzer. With the explosion, countless flames splashed everywhere. These flames, no matter what they touched, would cause violent burning!

Incendiary bombs! The United States used them in large quantities during the Vietnam War, causing great psychological trauma to the Vietnamese people. Now, it is the turn of the Soviet troops to use them!

Screams instantly rang out on the Iranian position. An Iranian stood up, his whole body covered in flames. He was at a loss and shouted for his mother. He was just a teenager! But he was dragged to the battlefield by the Iranian government!

He looked behind him in fear while running, not knowing what he was praying for. Then, another shell exploded beside him, ending his suffering prematurely.

An experienced Iranian soldier was also ignited by the flying flames. He skillfully rolled on the ground, hoping to put out the flames. However, he did not expect that as he rolled, the flames jumped all over his body! The fire was blazing, and his screams echoed throughout the entire position!

As an opponent of the Soviet Union, you must be prepared to sacrifice at any time! With the coverage of artillery fire, the Iranian position has become a hell!

Thermobaric bombs are only suitable for confined spaces, such as caves. Therefore, the warheads of current multiple rocket launchers are all high-explosive warheads and incendiary warheads. Even so, when the firepower coverage is completed, the opposite side has become silent.

The air seemed to be filled with the smell of barbecue.

"Continue the attack!" Choibalsan issued the combat order.

The tracks of the T-72 continued to roll over. This time, no one jumped out to resist. Even the infantry did not have to follow the tanks. They could just ride on the BTR infantry fighting vehicles and continue to move forward! The top of the BTR infantry fighting vehicles was full of paratroopers. The paratrooper vehicles brought by the paratroopers were quite small and not big enough for the paratroopers to ride. Therefore, they sat on the top of the BTR infantry fighting vehicles all the way here, which was quite comfortable.

After crossing the positions here, the great Soviet fighters rushed into the interior of the Abbas port area. Now, the only thing left was the final battle on the dock.

The ground force's attack was relatively smooth, and the unexpected attack made the Iranians unable to react at all. At the same time, the US Navy, which had been successfully deceived by the Soviet Union, was furious.

Ten minutes ago, a reconnaissance satellite finally passed over the port of Abbas. The situation on the ground was taken into photos and transmitted to the Pentagon, the White House, and the aircraft carrier formation.

"We should have anticipated this long ago. The Soviets definitely don't just want to gain a passage to the south. Their goal is to strangle us and turn the entire Middle East into their backyard!" Lieutenant General Jonathan was furious on the bridge.

"We are still 400 kilometers away from the Soviet aircraft carrier formation." Captain Miller said. Now, the E-2 early warning aircraft has searched for the location of the huge fleet on the sea. The enemy is already 100 kilometers away from the port of Abbas! We have been fooled by the Soviets! Now, although we have caught up, we are in a dilemma!

"Let our Tomcat fighters fly." Lieutenant General Jonathan said, "We want to let the Soviets know our attitude!"

Release the Tomcats! Right now, the Soviet aircraft carrier is recovering the MiG-23K carrier-based aircraft that are returning from the ground attack mission. Since the Soviet aircraft carrier only has an angled takeoff deck, they cannot release the fighters at the same time when performing the recovery mission. In this way, if we break through alone, we can easily get within 100 kilometers of the opponent's aircraft carrier formation!

But what's the point of doing this? The Soviet army has already arrived there. Bandar Abbas and Qeshm Island outside are already controlled by the Soviets. Doing this now will not help. Could it be that the lieutenant general has lost his temper?

"Report, the Groton just released a communication buoy, telling us that an unidentified target underwater was discovered." Just then, the first mate came in and said.

Accompanying the Nimitz, there is also a Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine underwater to protect safety, this is the Groton! And now, this submarine uses the release of communication buoys to tell itself that there is definitely a problem underwater!

Although VLF and ELF radio communications can be used underwater, there are great restrictions, so communication is more often done through sound. The release of the communication buoy now shows that the Groton is unwilling to expose its position, that is, it is confronting underwater targets!

I really didn't expect that the aircraft carrier formation was sailing at full speed just now, but an unknown tail caught up! If there was no nuclear submarine, if we were attacked, we would not know who did it!
