1406 1412 Mediterranean Air Combat

At this time, the problem is not on the side of Li Cong and the Americans, but on the side of Europa and Great Russia. Don't you want to eat our troops in one bite?We give you this opportunity to let you eat, but can you afford to live after you eat it?This is a terrible problem. Now the two major military groups have mobilized their military strength, especially the energy group. The posture is that you only need to move a little bit and I will fight with you immediately. The American strategic air force is also Yuanyuan kept transporting the army to Sicily. Of course, his intercontinental missiles were also aimed at this side. As long as there is a turmoil, you dare to open fire, and I dare to do so. This will bring everyone back. It is an unwise thing to dispatch intercontinental missiles, and the Europeans don't want to use that. Missiles worth hundreds of billions of dollars are used to target strategic targets worth billions. As long as there are no broken people, they would not do that.

Intercontinental ballistic missile iribitiii, usually refers to a long-range ballistic missile with a range greater than 000 kilometers.It is an important part of the strategic nuclear force and is mainly used to attack important military, political and economic targets in enemy territory.Intercontinental ballistic missiles have a longer range and faster speed than medium-range ballistic missiles, short-range ballistic missiles, and newly named theater ballistic missiles.

Generally speaking, these are used to carry nuclear weapons. It is the first time in the world to carry a bunch of conventional warheads to strike an ace force. In fact, the people of Europa also know that when the base fired His mission had come to an end when the intercontinental missiles. Even if Li never destroyed it, it is estimated that the American missiles would have to blow it up. Even if the Americans did not move, the Europeans would not continue. Everyone can see the development there. An exposed base will not be paid attention to. It is not worth it.

Generally speaking, the range of intercontinental ballistic missiles should be at least 5500-000 kilometers.

However, the energy group's 31 intercontinental missile has a range of 190 kilometers.

The missile is generally but not necessarily equipped with a nuclear or thermonuclear warhead. Its typical composition is: liquid or solid propulsion device, two-stage or multi-stage booster rocket, inertial guidance system and can be equipped with constellation navigation, satellite navigation or terminal guidance system. One or more loading aircraft, each loading aircraft containing a warhead.This energy group is completely different from other countries. The booster rocket fuel of the energy group is different from theirs. The main reason is that the energy group has its own enriched fuel. In fact, if it is fired properly, it will go around the earth. It is not impossible, but the technology has not yet reached that level.

In the United States, the status of intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarine-launched ballistic missiles, and long-range bombers are roughly the same, forming a "triad" strategic deterrent force.In Russia, intercontinental ballistic missiles are the main force of strategic strikes.This is mainly because the economic strength of Great Russia is not very strong.

Nowadays, more and more countries have long-range ballistic missiles, mainly energy groups, Europa, the United States, Great Russia, and of course there are also the newly established Islamic League. This is just their own statement, as for the real objects. The four major forces have emerged.

Intercontinental ballistic missiles have a longer range and faster speed than medium-range ballistic missiles, short-range ballistic missiles, and newly named theater ballistic missiles.However, distinguishing missile types by range is always subjective and somewhat arbitrary. Therefore, there is currently no universally accepted definition to strictly distinguish various types of missiles. All definitions can only be reached within a certain academic community. .

For any country or organization, intercontinental missiles are very valuable things, so in future wars, the probability of appearing should not be very high. Of course, if there are enough benefits, I believe no one should be stingy. of.

The change in the battle situation occurred on the third day of the arrival of US military assistance. On this day, the US strategic air force carried a large number of military supplies to Sicily as usual. This time the US military’s transport force was huge, with as many as 30 transport aircraft alone. There are more than 70 fighter planes with escort. They may be very nervous the first time, but it’s been the third day, and hundreds of thousands of troops fainted, and they didn’t see it. What's the matter, most people feel a little relaxed, but today is definitely an extraordinary day for Americans. Just after the plane went through several aerial refuelings into the sea, it took off from an air base in southern France 35 Rafale-2 fighter, this is the latest improved model of the Rafale. Although Dassault Aviation is no longer serving Europa, the transaction with them has not been interrupted, so they still purchased a lot of such aircraft. Moreover, Li Cong had a very good relationship with Europa at the time of the purchase.

This is only the first batch of aircraft. At the Lufthansa Air Force Base in Germany, hundreds of fighter jets are also ready to take off. They are the military aircraft that are about to go into combat today. Their mission is not to open fire on American aircraft. To prevent Americans from replenishing ground forces within their borders, the Europa Air Force has been whipped by the media for three consecutive days. This kind of thing makes them feel very unbearable. I really don’t know how their boss is. We don’t have no military strength to handle affairs. Why should the Americans treat us this way?It is precisely because of the dissatisfaction under the Air Force that they are like doing a show, a show that can force the U.S. Air Force to retreat. In fact, this thing has failed before it even started. The war is not for praise. You have to perform, people It came to work hard, as long as you are not a fool, you can guess the result.

After more than a hundred Europa fighters were assembled in the sky, they rushed towards the American supply fleet. They wanted to let these Yankees know that it is not only you Americans who can show off their power, sometimes we do too. If you want to come in, you have to see if our soldiers are satisfied or not.

Although the U.S. Air Force’s number is a bit small, they have experienced some wars to some extent. They also know that air warfare does not rely solely on technology or quantity to win. Of course, if the gap is too large, there must be a reason. But now the gap between the two aspects is not very large. As long as the Americans are more careful, it is completely okay. The radar shows that both sides have entered the range of the other's air-launched missiles. Originally, the American pilots thought that these Europa pilots were coming desperately. Yes, so the fire was fired immediately without any consent. This is basically the normal way of doing things in the United States. As long as it is a threat to us, it must be killed immediately, otherwise it is only us who will die.

The Europa fleet in the distance was directly silly. What is the situation? Why don’t I understand anything and immediately launched dozens of air-to-air missiles, and it is the fourth-generation missile with a relatively powerful combat capability, the radar-type air-to-air missile. There are US i missiles, European r missile advanced mid-range missiles, and Russian r77 missiles. These missiles often have conventional aerodynamic layouts, using compound guidance methods such as midway commands, inertial guidance, and radar active terminal guidance. A complex software system is installed in the embedded computer, which has a certain "don't care after launch" capability, can attack the target in all directions beyond the visual range, and has a variety of anti-interference measures and flexible launch methods; it has the ability to deal with a variety of aircraft Interception ability.

This time they use the i1 air-to-air missile. As a member of the r missile family, i is the first active radar-guided line-of-sight outer-air-to-air missile developed by the United States. It has derived b, b, d over the past ten years. The four types of efg and efg are weapons purchased by air forces of many countries.The price in 2003 was 36,000 US dollars each.It was the most advanced i1 in 43 years. This model is not for sale in the US team. It is said that the cost has reached 300,000 US dollars. If it is sold, it will cost at least 500,000 US dollars.

i is an advanced medium-range air-to-air missile developed by the United States of

It won the battle for the first time

Opened a new page in the history of world air combat.Beyond the horizon

Since most of the semi-active radar-guided guidance

launch missile

The carrier must keep track of the target

Until it hits the target.During this time

The carrier aircraft must basically not be able to make major movements, which is a great threat to the safety of the carrier aircraft and the pilot, because the chance of being hit by the enemy is great.

In September 1991, i had already been equipped with the F-15 heavy fighter of the US Air Force, and in February of the following year it was equipped with the f fighter.The U.S. Navy’s f-hornet was replaced with this advanced air-to-air missile for the first time in October 1993.In December 1992, i achieved its first combat result since it entered service, shooting down a MiG-25 Flying Fox fighter jet of the Iraqi Air Force.Since then, they have achieved many results in the wars in Iraq and Yugoslavia.Then, the r model being produced in the United States has evolved from ib to a more compact design, shortening the length of the wing, so that it can be loaded in the built-in bomb bays of f-22 and f-35 fighters.

Raytheon, the manufacturer of the missile, is currently continuously upgrading i's hardware and software systems, making the development of the entire missile in an open spiral phase.The model of the r missile currently in the production line is i-5. This missile derived from the i-based missile has a large off-axis angle launch capability that the former does not have. The English abbreviation is technology that enables the missile to break through the direction of the seeker's universal joint. Adjust the limit to fly towards the target with a larger off-axis angle.Another modification that followed the production line in the second half of 2004 was the i-7. Due to the use of a compact guidance system, the length of the guidance compartment was shortened by 15 cm, allowing the missile to be replaced with a longer length. , The rocket engine with greater thrust greatly improves the flight maneuverability and effective range.

The updated i05 moved from behind the scenes to the front desk at the beginning of the year.This upgrade plan, led by the US Navy, to improve i's ability to suppress long-range air targets will add a fourth member of the r family to install a two-way data link to make it better communicate with radar.In addition, the range of the missile will also be greatly improved than i.According to the scheduled plan, id only started small-scale production in 2006 and was equipped with the US naval air force in 0.

r The product of an agreement between the US government and several European NATO member states on the development of air-to-air missiles and the sharing of related production technologies, but this agreement has now expired.According to the agreement, the United States is responsible for the development of the next generation of medium-range air-to-air missiles. In other words, NATO European member states will be responsible for the development of the next-generation short-range air-to-air missiles, that is, advanced short-range air-to-air missiles.The termination of the agreement led to the development of a missile bd nickname competing with r in Europe: Meteor, while the United States continued to upgrade the i-9 Sidewinder missile.But now these Europeans have to suffer in their own cooperation projects, in fact, this is indeed the case.

The pilots of the U.S. military immediately began to seize a favorable position after launching a large number of medium-range air-to-air missiles. The posture was not tentative at all. They were here to fight directly. One hundred Europa fighters did not receive instructions from the base. They can only do things according to their own ideas, and that is to start a counterattack. Anyway, it’s not the first shot they fired. If they don’t fight, it’s as if they’re afraid of others, and they’re still fighting inside the line. If something goes wrong, you can just parachute yourself, but if the US military learns from them, they will become prisoners.

These Europa Air Forces also launched their own air-to-air missiles at the appropriate time, but because the timing of the launch is not very right, the hit rate should not be very high. If the medium-range air-to-air missile is facing only one target It may be lost, but this is a huge fleet in front of you. It is absolutely impossible to lose them. The pilots of Europa obviously know this very well, so some of the veterans of these people do not have it at all. Occupying a favorable position to launch missiles, but immediately left the fleet. Although this is considered to be a violation of the order, it can save your life. Only those rookies will counterattack as soon as possible, even if it is the missile you launched. You can kill someone, but your own life is gone. What good is this?

Finally, after a few minutes passed, the air-to-air missiles launched by the Americans arrived first. Faced with the huge temptation of more than one hundred planes, the missiles flew towards their targets one after another, and the pilots immediately took huge evasive actions. , It’s just that the planes around me are too dense. If you don’t pay attention, they may be shot down. A total of 75 medium-range air-to-air missiles hit more than 30 planes. This record is still very good. Looking at the air-to-air missiles launched by Europa, there is no such good luck. They only shot down less than 20. Although there is only a difference of a dozen, the total number of Europa’s aircraft is much more than that of the Americans. The bayonet of the aircraft has become popular, and their distances are very close. When the short-range air-to-air missiles disappear, they may have to rely on their own aircraft’s cannons. Of course, the Americans have another disadvantage. They also have a large number of transport planes, with more than 2,000 soldiers and a large number of supplies in front of them. If something goes wrong with them, it will be a big problem.

The Americans have always been fighting under their absolute superiority, especially their air force. From World War II to the present, as long as the U.S. Air Force participates in battles, they have the advantage. Absolute advantage, this time they also acted as the role of being bullied. One by one, the American soldiers had a strong spirit of 120,000 points. The air force in front of them is not the rubbish air force like Afghanistan and Iraq. Although the Europa air force does not What kind of actual combat, but the overall quality is much stronger than those countries’ junk air forces, and they are prepared for this.

When the fighters of the two sides approached, some advantages that can be seen with the naked eye occurred. Europa’s experienced pilots had similar combat capabilities to the US recruits, while Europa’s recruits simply did not graduate. People from the group investigation department summarized this air battle. The result is that the US military often participates in the war. Their air force is always on the front line. There are many air force exercises in Europa, and they boast very well. Judging from the results of this war, there was a lot of water before.

Half an hour later, the air battle basically ended. The U.S. military was shot down except for less than 20 fighter jets that fled, and only a few manned aircraft were held by Europa fighter jets and landed at the nearest base. It can be said that this operation of the US military failed, but they are also proud of, because Europa lost much more than them. In addition to the first 135 Europa aircraft, a batch of five Ten planes, the total number is close to 0, but less than 20% of them can fly back. If the US military hadn’t watched their third batch of planes coming again, they would definitely not retreat. What it is is not known.

But in any case, this is also a victory for Europa. Isn’t it a few billion euros to lose a hundred or ten planes? This is nothing compared to a huge victory. They began to exaggerate this victory. The false number is It’s necessary. Originally, Europa’s senior officials didn’t allow them to launch missiles. They wanted to be fired when the commander came down. I didn’t expect such a result. Instead of being fired, the commander was promoted instead. It’s just that this commander knows exactly what’s going on. He doesn’t want to throw his life on the battlefield. You can lie to the common people, but I can’t do it here, so this man of merit chose After retiring, of course no one will report his news, no matter when and where, such villains are not welcome.

The Americans were absolutely angered this time. Before the Europeans could react, the Americans began to increase their troops to their bases around Europa. This time it was absolutely true. First of all, the US First Armored Division began to attack Gibraltar. At the Europa base, tens of thousands of troops within the base immediately entered a state of war. The Europa government knew that they were definitely not the opponents of the first armored division of the US Army, and they would not even provide foster care.

It is not too much to say that the 1st Armored Division is the originator of the American armored forces. It is the earliest armored force in the American team.Since its establishment, it has participated in military operations such as the Second World War, the Gulf War, the Kosovo peacekeeping operation, and the Free Iraq War.

On July 15, 1940, in accordance with the instructions of the US Department of War, the US 1st Armored Division held a ceremony for its establishment in Fort Knox, Kentucky.The first commander of the division was Major General Bruce?Magrude, it is said that he was looking at the energetic officers and soldiers and the neatly arranged tanks at the scene, and felt that this team was very similar to the US frigate "Constitution", which was equipped with thick armor protection, so he gave it Got a proud name: American Iron Armour.

Like the "Dahong First Division", the first military operation of the 1st Armored Division in World War II also participated in the "Operation Torch."The difference is that at this time the "Dahong First Division" had already experienced the baptism of World War I, while the 1st Armored Division had just been established for two years.

In the early morning of November 1942, the British and American forces launched the "Operation Torch" in French North Africa.According to the combat plan, the British and American troops participating in the "Operation Torch" have 13 divisions, 650 warships and transport ships.The first batch of troops to land was 7 divisions with about 110,000 people, of which 10,000 were invested in Casablanca, 45,000 in Oran, and 10,000 in Algiers.In addition, several airborne battalions will participate in this operation, whose task is to occupy airfields and important areas deep in the enemy's defense.The landing used 1,700 aircraft as air cover, most of which were parked in the fortress of Gibraltar.

The operation is divided into three groups: the center task force is the US 1st Armored Division under the jurisdiction of the US 2nd Army, led by Lloyd?r?Commanded by Major General Fredendall, attacking Oran; the western task force is led by George??General Patton led the capture of the Casablanca area; the Eastern Task Force was composed of British troops, composed of the US 34th Infantry Division Commander Charles??Commanded by Major General Ryder, attacked Algiers.

The central task force, under the command of Major General Fredendall, landed in Oran at 1 o'clock on the day.In Oran, the 1st Armored Division, which had been formed for more than two years, encountered strong resistance from the French team when it landed.However, the U.S. task force and the British navy that transported them to the scene and sent them to shore cooperated closely and successfully completed the task.

At that time, the defender of Oran City was a French army, with about 10,000 officers and soldiers.If you get reinforcements from various inland stations, the number of people can almost double within 24 hours.Therefore, one of the important tasks of the Central Task Force is to quickly blockade Oran City.In the operation of attacking Oran, the leading force of the United States was Terry?The US 1st Infantry Division commanded by Major General Allen, and the 1st Armored Division was responsible for providing fire support to them.Terry?Allen's two regiments landed at Azer Bay Beach, 24 miles east of Oran, and then used two-winged tactics to attack Oran City and the port; Theodore?The 3rd regiment led by Brigadier General Roosevelt landed at Lesandaluse Beach, 14 miles west of the city.Then, a light armored column advanced inland from the beachhead in Arzer, and another smaller light armored column landed from near Buzacar, 30 miles west of Oran, and attacked airports south of Oran. And approach Oran City from the back.

At the beginning, the battle went smoothly.On the evening of November 7, the convoy pretended to pass through Oran and headed east, but turned back in the dark.At 1 o'clock in the morning, the landing began on time at Arzer.Half an hour later, U.S. troops also landed in Lesandaluse and Buzacar Port.On the beach, the US military did not encounter any resistance, despite the 13 coastal defense turrets.After dawn, the French army began to carry out artillery harassment, but did not cause much damage.

Then, the US army began to attack Port Oran.Two British speedboats, "Walner" and "Hartland", loaded with 400 American soldiers, attacked the port of Oland.Their task is to prevent the defenders from destroying the equipment in the port and the ships moored there.Both speedboats hung the American flag during the charge, but the French defenders ignored them and still fired artillery to block them. As a result, both speedboats suffered heavy losses.Half of the crew and American soldiers were killed, and the rest were wounded and became prisoners of the French army.

At 9 o'clock in the afternoon, the troops attacked from the beachhead and developed in depth, but they did not go far before they encountered the obstacle of the French army, and the troops had to stop advancing.

On November 9, the US offensive still made no progress.At this time, the commander of the French garrison in Oran learned that Algiers was negotiating and gave up resistance.

On the 10th, two lightly armored units of the US army entered Oran from the south and approached the French headquarters.At noon, the French commander announced his surrender.

In this battle, due to the proper command of Fredendall and the strong cooperation of the British navy, the whole battle progressed smoothly.After two days and nights of fierce fighting, under the fierce artillery attack of the 1st Panzer Division, the French finally could not resist, and the Allied forces successfully captured Oran.

Since then, the American 1st Armored Division that moved east became the first Allied force to encounter Rommel's African Army.

Sunday, Valentine's Day, February 14, 1943.The storm swept through the mountains and plains of central Tunisia.German armored battle groups painted with black crosses marched under the sound of storms and dust.At 4 o'clock in the morning, the armored battle group composed of the 10th Armored Division, which had just arrived in Africa, and the elite 21st Armored Division of the Rommel African Army, began to attack along the Fa-German and Mazara Passes in accordance with the predetermined plan.

At this time, the German African Army under Rommel was facing tremendous pressure. The British Army, which was chasing all the way from Egypt from the east, was in Bernard?Under the command of General Montgomery, it has begun to reorganize and prepare to deal a fatal blow to the old opponent of the German African Army.Although the west side of Rommel was protected by a ridge that stretched from the Myrina River to Marco Nasi, the danger of the Allied forces breaking through the defense line through the pass became increasingly serious.In order to avoid being slowly strangled in the noose closed on both sides, Rommel preferred to attack first to break the deadlock.In addition, Rommel already knew that Hitler was considering using Hans?Feng?Anim level will replace him in command of the German forces fighting in Africa.So in any case, he desperately needs a victory to prove his "desert fox" prestige.The Battle of Kassalin Pass, the first major battle between the United States and the German Army in World War II began.

Rommel's plan was to pass through those passes and then go northwest and deep into the enemy's rear, dividing and destroying those American troops that he saw as returning.The plan was approved by Hitler.

It was the US Army’s 1st Armored Division that faced the German offensive head-on. It also became the first American division to face the German Army and the first American division to fight in the desert. Ironically, it was also World War II. The only unit among the 16 armored divisions owned by the US and China that had not received training in desert operations before the war.At that time, the division's troops were scattered on a 60-mile front, and they were about to fall victim to the Germans' various destructive tactics."The fact of the unforeseeable plan sentenced the death penalty for combat operations." Alki of the 1st Armored Division of the US Army after World War II said when referring to the Battle of Kasarin Pass in post-war memories.

General Anderson, the commander of the British 1st Army to which the U.S. troops belonged, did not place the 1st Panzer Division in the middle of the battle line as ordered by the Allied Commander General Eisenhower, and refused to put it into battle as a whole.The US 2nd Army, which belonged to the 1st Armored Division, was ordered to dismantle the 1st Armored Division and form a battle group directly under several corps. The b battle group was transferred to the direct command of the 1st Army.As of February 13th, the US 2nd Army and the neighboring French 19th Army were only scattered in a series of highlands, with little cover between them.

Due to the loose front, the German army quickly crossed the American front from the front and the side.The German commander is Heinz?Ziegler, is he as Hans?Feng?General Anim's deputy, personally directed this attack codenamed "Spring Breeze".

In two days, the US Army's 1st Armored Division lost 9 tanks, 57 half-track vehicles, artillery, and at least 500 officers and men in the battle. Nearly 100 tank crews with good training were swept away.The US military's defeat at the Kasserine Pass was the first disastrous US military defeat in the North African battlefield, and the response was extraordinary.Lieutenant General Eisenhower, the supreme commander of the Allied forces, felt blank and immediately ordered the removal of Major General Fredendall from his post, and at the same time ordered Major General Patton to be the commander of the Second Army.

On March 17, Patton commanded the Second Army into battle.Commander Ward led the US 1st Armored Division to attack Stahin Deseneide, and if it goes well, then advance to Meknassi.However, the 1st Armored Division’s offensive ran into trouble. A few days of heavy rain turned the ground into mud, tanks and trucks were difficult to move, and progress was slow.On the 21st, the 1st Panzer Division captured Deseneide Station.On the 24th, captured Meknasi.At this time, the East Dolssel Pass was close at hand, and as long as the 1st Armored Division launched an offensive by victory, it could seize it in one fell swoop.It is a pity that the indecisive Ward bounced the warplanes. The Germans seized the pass and blocked the path of the US military. Since then, the warplanes have been repeatedly delayed. Since the 17th, more than 1,500 casualties have caused Patton to relieve Ward from his position as commander and replace it with Harmon. Major general replaced.

After the North African campaign ended, the British and American forces began to attack Sicily.The US 1st Armored Division failed to get the opportunity to participate in the Battle of Sicily due to its poor record.Later, under the command of Lieutenant General Clark, the commander of the US 5th Army, the 1st Armored Division participated in combat operations against the Italian mainland, mainly including Naples, Anzio, Rome-Arno, Po Valley and other battles.

On October 1, 1943, the 1st Panzer Division and other troops captured Naples.After a week of fierce fighting, they attacked the outpost of the Gustav Line but made little progress due to the bad weather, damaged roads and the tenacity of the German resistance.From December 2nd, the 1st Armored Division participated in the new offensive in the Apennines and paid a heavy price.Until January 1944, it had not reached the forward positions of the Rapido River and the Gustav Line.In February, the 1st Armored Division and other units and the New Zealand Army launched three attacks on Cassino, all without results.

On the evening of May 11, 1944, after a fierce bombardment by the Allied Air Forces, the French army passed through the Galligliano Mountains, broke through the Gustav Line, and infiltrated the Ozonte Basin.The U.S. 1st Armored Division and other troops took the opportunity to advance along the coastal road, captured Velletri and breached the Caesar line of defense.Then, the 1st Panzer Division captured Valmontone and went straight to Rome along Route 6.On June 16, Clark led his troops into Rome.So far, the 1st Armored Division did not finish its World War II journey perfectly.

After the end of World War II, the 1st Armored Division was sent to Swabian Gmund, Germany to perform occupation tasks.

From April 1946 to February 1951, the US 1st Armored Division was retired from active service.In February 1951, the US 1st Armored Division transferred to active service in Fort Hood, Texas.In May 1971, it merged with the 1st U.S. 1st Cavalry Division into the new U.S. 1st Cavalry Division. The rest of the 1st Armored Division was retired from active service. At the same time, the Department of War reorganized the U.S. 4th Armored Division in Germany into the U.S. 1st. The armored division and the Iron Armored "return to Germany" again.

After years of development, the 1st Armored Division not only has a strong fire attack capability, but also has a high tactical maneuverability, and its heavy weapons have been self-contained.These advantages helped the "Iron Armored Army" play a huge role in the Gulf War and the Iraq War.

On 2nd, 1990, when the war between Iraq and Kuwait broke out, the U.S. Army announced that it would send troops to the Gulf. On November, the 1st Armored Division was ordered to deploy to the Gulf.On February 1991, the 1st Cavalry Squadron of the 1st Armored Division of the U.S. Army followed the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment and crossed the Iraqi border. At 15:00, 16 combat engineering bulldozers drove 250-meter-wide beams on the border sandbank after 10 hours of operation. aisle.The 1st Armored Division entered Iraq through these passages. By 1 o'clock, the 1st Cavalry Squadron had actually advanced 60 kilometers into Iraq.Beginning at 5 o'clock on the 26th, after 9 hours of fierce fighting, a total of 45 Iraqi armored vehicles, 440 tanks, 137 anti-aircraft artillery pieces, and 190 artillery pieces were destroyed. The mission was completed.

In January 1992, the US Infantry Division stationed in Germany was reorganized into the US 1st Armored Division.After the establishment of NATO’s European Rapid Reaction Force in 1992, the 1st Armored Division was ordered to serve as one of its subordinate national divisions, to undertake the task of rapid reaction force.

After the Kosovo War in 1999, the NATO European Allied Forces Command established a Kosovo peacekeeping force, and the US 1st Armored Division sent a Brigadier General and Deputy Commander to command the Eastern Multinational Brigade.

In 2003, when the Iraq War started, the US 1st Armored Division was ordered to join the war and together with other troops overthrew the Saddam regime. On May 22, the US troops stationed in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, will be replaced by the 1st Armored Division to replace the 3rd Infantry. division.After the expiration of the service period, according to the US Army rotation plan, they were evacuated from Iraq in batches in February and April 2004.

No one thought that the combat effectiveness of the First Armored Division would be so amazing after being hidden by the U.S. government for so long. It has long been known that they would win the war in Gibraltar against the Europa miscellaneous army, but the only thing that did not expect was that of tens of thousands of people. The Europa army did not stand up for an hour, and even Li Cong was a little surprised by their combat effectiveness. Even if his First Army came, he would not be able to achieve such a result.
