Chapter 952: Serious Mistaken Attack
If it were a Soviet army, the tank troops would be protected by Shilka self-propelled anti-aircraft guns on both sides when advancing to prevent attacks from the air, but this is not the case for NATO troops.
NATO's army does not pay much attention to air defense. After all, their point of view is to seize air superiority, and troops will only be dispatched once air superiority is obtained.
The situation of the Dutch troops was naturally the same. Now, they were suddenly attacked by A-10s. The first thing they thought of was, of course, to call for air support, but for some reason, the communication was interrupted and they could not get in touch at all. Facing the attack from the sky, they found that they had no way out at all.
"boom!"

"Boom!" One Leopard 1 tank after another was destroyed by the A-10 attack aircraft. In this battle, the pilots of the A-10 attack aircraft fought very bravely.
If we insist on using this kind of attack aircraft to fight for air supremacy, that would be pure nonsense. However, when it comes to ground attacks, it is definitely an expert; even armed helicopters are not as good as it!
The ground was in a mess. One Leopard 1 after another was turned into scrap metal, and the A-10 attack aircraft had already launched all of their Maverick missiles. Looking at the remaining dozen or so Leopard 1 tanks, they had no intention of letting them go, and the fire control system switched to machine guns.
Machine gun attacks the top!
✨ *Your reading journey starts here!* **wtr-lab.com**
As a NATO country, American pilots are well aware of the shortcomings of the Leopard 1. The Germans went to the other extreme. They had good mobility and firepower, but poor armor protection. It can be said that the top can't even defend against a 20mm cannon! Our 30mm cannon is enough to blow the opponent's head off!
Pull up the A-10 attack plane, and then dive down from the sky, so that the machine gun is facing the top of the Leopard 1 tank's turret! Then, wait for the distance to get close, and press the button again. As the fuselage shakes, the opponent will be penetrated!
On the HUD, the image in the machine gun's heat beam became clearer and clearer, and the pilot Shi Tou suddenly felt something was wrong.

There is no West German Bundeswehr logo painted on the turret. The pattern on it should be that of the Dutch Army!
Oops, there's a problem!
Instead of continuing the attack, Shitou raised the nose of the plane and called on the radio: "Shitou calling wild boar, Shitou calling wild boar, the troops we are attacking should be the Dutch army, not the German Wehrmacht!"
Oops, wrong attack!

In later generations, although there are more and more beyond-visual-range missiles, the combat performance of fighter jets cannot be abandoned. The most important point is that it is difficult to identify friend or foe, and visual confirmation is required before attacking!
Not to mention the 1980s, even in the later Gulf War, there were many incidents of accidental attacks. In the Air Force, there was an incident in which a ground-based air defense radar shot down one of its own aircraft. In ground combat, there was also an incident in which the US M1 tank was too reckless and ran into the Iraqi armored force during the pursuit, and was shot by its own troops following behind.

The worst was the B-66. During the battle, its direction of travel was opposite to that of other M1s in the company. It was mistaken for a T-72 and attacked. Three depleted uranium armor-piercing shells hit the vehicle directly. The first one hit the turret connection, killing the gunner and throwing the commander away. The second one hit the front of the vehicle, and the driver was sprayed with fuel in the face, which then ignited the dye and burned the loader and driver. Then the Hailong fire extinguisher was activated, blinding the driver. After the surviving members evacuated the vehicle, the vehicle exploded. Only the gunner died, and everyone else survived.
On the battlefield, identifying friend or foe has always been a difficult problem, even in the 21st century.
And now, the US Air Force attacked the Dutch troops! The "results" were very significant. Almost all of the Dutch tanks of an armored battalion were destroyed. The remaining tanks had stopped advancing at this time. The tank soldiers came out in a panic and raised their middle fingers to the US A-10 attack aircraft in the sky.

"What happened? How could such a serious accidental shooting happen?" In Stuttgart, Bernard's face was filled with anger.

I never thought that when we sent out four A-10 attack aircraft to attack the East German armored forces, they ended up destroying our own tanks! This is simply a shame for the entire NATO!
"I don't know. We are investigating. Now, our A-10 fleet is returning." said the adjutant on the side.

This incident will of course be subject to a strict investigation, and the pilots may even be brought to court-martial. But right now, we can't worry about that.
"We don't have time. The German tank troops are getting closer and closer to Bonn." John said, "We must stop this army as soon as possible! We must take off our fighter planes."
Originally, their plan was to launch the A-10 first to attract the attention of the Germans on the opposite side. If the Germans launched their fighter planes, their side would follow suit and it would eventually turn into a big war. But now, they didn't expect that the Germans would just let it go, and their fighter planes actually mistakenly hit their own troops!

The remaining fighters are still waiting at the airport! This is not in line with NATO tactics at all!
As soon as the war breaks out, they should dispatch large fleets to attack all of the enemy's air bases, power stations, and oil depots to weaken the enemy's war potential!
However, is this tactic useful? At present, the Soviet Union has not yet intervened, at least not mobilized troops. If we mobilize our forces, we can only attack military targets in West Germany. However, East Germany, Eastern Europe, and the entire Soviet Union have enormous war potential. It can be said that our tactics cannot achieve our goals at all.
But, is there any other choice?

"Let's ask the White House." Bernard said. No matter what choice we make, we can't see a good ending. Let's just give the choice to the White House and see how they choose! These damn Germans have given NATO a big problem!
Soon, an order came from the White House, stopping the West German army at all costs!
Is there any other choice? If we watch the German army occupy Bonn, then the whole of Germany will turn red!

"Order, all aircraft take off immediately!" Bernard finally gave the order: "Ground attack aircraft must visually identify the target before launching an attack!"
Visual identification is necessary to prevent accidental shooting from happening again! Although this will increase the risk to the pilot, it is also necessary!
Following Bernard's order, NATO fighters stationed at various air bases in Europe began to take off! This was bound to be a brutal aerial battle!

The moment NATO issued the order, the news had already reached East Berlin.
"Sure enough, just as we thought, the Americans will never accept defeat unless they start a war." Sitting in a comfortable chair, looking up at the ceiling, Andre said calmly: "In this case, let the NATO Air Force prepare for a head-on blow!"
