Chapter 953 Libyan Hostage Crisis
Although Selov and Marshal Chang Kaishen are both masters of micro-care, the difference is that the General Secretary only has micro-care in the field he is good at. Even if he likes to draw maps, it is different. Libya is now a good place to take advantage of the waters. I believe that this simple task should not disappoint. From the field of intelligence, killing is indeed the simplest task.
For 30 years, the Soviet Union has taken the KGB as a medium and started from the Soviet Union as the starting point in the name of supporting the revolutionary forces of the Third World and driving backward countries, and has established itself in more and more countries like an octopus. If you can leave a military advisory group, leave a military advisory group, and if you can't leave an expert, this is a real spy. Although the KGB is not the only protagonist, among a wide range of small countries, the Soviet Union has built countless channels.
Money, women, the KGB never retracted from such small issues. Libya was once a key focus of the First General Administration for a period of time. How many settlements are there in Libya, where is suitable for temporary settlements, and where can retreat, is not a difficult problem for the Soviet Union.
The Il76 transport aircraft, which took off from Sudan, flew along the border between Egypt and Libya. In a sense, it was also leveraging the power. Southern Libya was rarely visited and belonged to a part of the vast Sahara Desert. There was nothing but a thousand miles of yellow sand. This is the ultimate death zone, so naturally there was no radar station here because it was not necessary.
The members of the KGB operation executive department of the operation have received news from Moscow that Libya's radar station has been paralyzed by the US air strike force using anti-radiation missiles. Now to discover this Soviet transport aircraft can only rely on high-altitude searchlights, or? With eyes! This is something that Libyans cannot do at present...
Anti-radiation missile, also known as anti-radar missile, refers to a missile that uses the electromagnetic radiation of enemy radars to guide them to destroy enemy radars and their carriers. In electronic confrontation, it is the most effective weapon to kill radars. Active air-to-ground anti-radiation missiles are usually used to attack selected targets. The target must be reconnaissed before launching, and its coordinates and radiation parameters must be measured.
The United States used anti-radiation missiles to attack Libyan air defense systems, creating space for this Soviet operation. Before the arrival of the second US strike, the uninhabited Soviet transport aircraft was approaching the designated location.
"Before reaching the destination, everyone you meet, no matter who they are, must be killed on the spot." A team leader wearing an Arab robe touched the beard on his face and checked his equipment. One advantage of Arab clothing is that it can play a good hidden role. The KGB even began to specially make Arab robes to operate in the Peace Cult area.
If it is another department, there are a few words to encourage morale. The atmosphere of the operational executive department is quite strange. The team leader simply issued reminders and precautions, and there was no such intention at all. The other members reacted coldly, as if they didn't hear it at all.
Soon, a sound came from the cockpit. The transport plane was approaching its destination and ready to parachute. A few minutes later, the hatch door opened, and the four people hugged each other in pairs, jumped with the incoming airflow. While the Il 76 transport plane returned, four red dandelions bloomed in the night sky.
"Good luck, KGBs!" The driver of the Il 76 transport aircraft skillfully operated the dense instruments, wishing these compatriots who performed special tasks good luck, even if he didn't know what these KGBs came here for.
The first moment the four people landed in the desert landed, they began to drag the parachute back. They took out the combustion aid they carried with them, ignited them without hesitation and threw them on the umbrella bag. In the flames, there were extremely plain faces. When the flames were used to turn on the sensors, the four people would meet. Of course, after the parachute was burned to ashes.
Everyone in the Operation Execution Department has a walkie-talkie within five kilometers, which is not new at all. Children's toys of the same type in the Soviet Union can maintain communication of 150 meters in the face of walkie-talkies under the age of twelve. It must be noted that it is not civilian goods, but just children's toys, and civilian goods have other specifications.
They only need to reach the designated location within eight hours. The target is a Libyan oil well. They know very well where the hostages are located. In fact, their main task is to kill people and prevent mistakes in the plan.
At this time, the US sea and air aircraft group had already begun a second attack wave. While carrier-based aircraft suppressed the Li air defense position, sixteen F-111f fighter bombers of the 48th Tactical Fighter Wing used terrain tracking radar to sweep across the Libyan coastline at an ultra-low altitude of 60 to 100 meters at a speed of 870 kilometers per hour. These sixteen F-111f fighter bombers and fourteen A-6 attack aircraft that took off from the Coral Sea and the United States aircraft carriers were organized into five air strike formations. At about two o'clock in the evening, they launched attacks on five predetermined targets in Tripoli and Benghazi at the same time:
Direction in Tripoli: the first formation has a total of eight f-111f fighter bombers, a laser-guided bomb attacked Gaddafi's residence, and the Aziziye Barracks, where the Libyan General Staff is located; the first formation has a total of five f-111fs, attacking the military zone of Tripoli International Airport with blockbuster bombs; the third formation has a total of four f-111fs, attacking the "Command Training Center" of Sidibilar Barra with laser-guided bombs;
In the direction of Benghazi: the first formation had eight A-6 attack aircraft from the "Coral Sea" aircraft carrier, and the Stone Eye" laser-guided cluster bomb attacked the Benina military airport in Benghazi; the second formation had six A-6 attack aircraft from the "USA" aircraft carrier, and used cluster bombs to attack the Benghazi People's Battalion of the Gaddafi Preparatory Command Station.
Libya's defense is a mixed use of French and Soviet weapons. In Warsaw Pact countries, the passive signal intelligence stations of air defense forces support active radars. Tripoli's air defense mission is entirely carried out by a French "Saturday" missile regiment. The regiment is equipped with French fire control and target acquisition radars, but the regiment is not connected to the data exchange network connecting to the Soviet system.
Libya's air defense system was not completely built in the Soviet Union, which also laid hidden dangers for its attack. Although most of the equipment of Libya's air defense system came from the Soviet Union, the radar stations came from France, Germany, and Sweden's air defense accusation systems and radar equipment. The US sea and air attack group directly broke into Libya's air defense network from places where the equipment was incompatible between France and the Soviet Union.
"It's really no progress!" Selov said yawningly, "Let the Ministry of Defense prepare experts to go to Libya for inspection. No matter what, this is a shame for our Soviet weapons."
The Soviet Union's arms exports were very good in the past twenty years. The reason was not that the Soviet Union's technology was really invincible with the assistance of major spies, but because of two basic facts, the United States personally took the battle but was defeated in Vietnam. The Soviet Union personally took the battle and annihilated hundreds of thousands of Turkish troops equipped with American weapons in half a month. Nothing can explain the problem more than war, so the Soviet Union's weapons exports were very popular under the influence of the war results.
It is time to take a national flag equipped with American weapons. This is not a joke. The General Secretary must seriously consider this issue. No matter how small or weak it is, as long as the country equipped with American weapons is considering killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
The United States has a backlog of weapons, and a large number of new weapons need to be tested to meet the order requirements of arms dealers. Launching a war is imminent for the United States. In fact, this problem has already occurred in the Soviet Union. Provoking a war to open up sales again is something that Selov considers from time to time.
Before going to bed, the General Secretary asked Chebrikov to let the KGB media in Europe to walk on the news that Gaddafi might have died. It is best to spread the same news in Libya. The Soviet Union had technical personnel in Libya, but it was incomparable to the 6,000 US military advisers in Libya at its peak. Mainly, the Soviet Union used Egypt as its stronghold and did not have the intention to station troops in Libya.
Tripoli in the flames was very conspicuous under the night. The US military of this era had not yet reached the point of attacking wherever it was pointed. It was not surprising that it had accidentally bombed, because Trek fighters dropped bombs in the city. Tripoli was also bombed, with thick smoke rolling in the entire capital, and air raid sirens and horns of rescue vehicles intertwined.
What is even more panicking is that the capital is in panic, and news of Gaddafi's death is already circulating. The news soon reached an uncontrollable point, because Gaddafi's official residence was indeed hit by a bombshell. People nearby suffered unrestrained disasters because of this, and rumors spread in Tripoli in an instant, and it was out of control...
The anti-American fighter Gaddafi has died, which is the news that the United States really wants to announce. Selov decided to be a good person and help others, which can make people happy in their sleep.
The Silt Basin is an important oil-producing area in Libya, accounting for 80% of Libya's reserves. In order to prevent the oil wells from being bombed, Gaddafi placed a large part of the foreign hostages here. But he didn't expect that Reagan chose to attack regardless of the safety of the hostages.
The news of Gaddafi's death spread in the nearby barracks for no reason, and almost immediately worked. The militia who learned of the death of the leader were excited and shouted to avenge the leader and directly scattered the fire on the hostages. Because the senior commanders were not present, the hostages here were very dangerous.
