Chapter 618 The Bridge Was Bombed

Unfortunately, Mark still did not take any action. He knew that his side had failed again and was once again dominated by the Soviet aircraft carriers!

Of course, we still have a trump card, and we still have our own fighter planes in the air, but can we attack the Soviet aircraft carrier? Just now, our fighter planes have been firmly locked by the enemy's warship radar. If we really launch an attack, we may be able to drop dozens of anti-ship missiles and torpedoes, but at the same time, our carrier-based aircraft will be shot down in large numbers!

In this way, the Cold War will become a hot war! In the European direction, the Soviet Union's rolling armored torrent will easily break through its own defenses! The situation to be faced at that time will be a hundred times more complicated than it is now! For the Middle East, the United States has mobilized a large number of troops from Europe. Now, even Germany is empty. If the Soviets really want to fight, it can almost be said that they can come over without any effort!

On the sea, the two formations came into contact with each other and then separated from each other. This scene will be unforgettable for many people.

The Soviet navy also began to grow rapidly! As their aircraft carriers were commissioned, the United States' maritime advantage would eventually disappear! In the Cold War confrontation, the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable to the United States!

The sky gradually darkened, and the American aircraft carrier fleet retracted its formation and returned to its original array. Although the encirclement had failed, they had to continue to confront the Soviet aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean. They could not let the Soviets leave so easily!

In this process, the Turkish side should be the most depressed. Turkey failed to stop the Soviet aircraft carrier formation, and now, the master behind them failed to stop it! In this case, they should not have offended the Soviet Union in the first place! After all, the Soviet Union is a behemoth, and it will repay kindness and hatred!

Turkey allowed the United States to attack Iraq through their border, which actually made the Soviet Union quite unhappy. Now, Türkiye has directly conflicted with the Soviet Union. Will the Soviets retaliate?

This is bound to be a tough night!

The scenery was still pleasant and the climate was still suitable, but many people had trouble sleeping that night.

Three o'clock in the morning.

The Bosphorus Bridge is brightly lit, and vehicles are passing on the bridge with their headlights on.

The US war in Iraq requires huge logistical support. Turkey on its own cannot complete the logistics supply task. The supplies are all transported from Europe and can be quickly transported to Turkey and Iraq through the road network.

At the same time, in order to win the war against Iraq, the United States is also mobilizing new troops. An Italian force has also been mobilized from Europe. This is Italy's famous 3rd "Goito" Mechanized Infantry Brigade, stationed in Milan. This time, it accepted the dispatch of its American masters and came from mainland Italy.

Walking in the front were the 4th Tank Battalion "Passagua", which was awarded the Gold Medal of Courage. The Leopard I tanks with rubber tracks were marching directly on the road in an off-road manner. Following behind were the M113 armored vehicles.

Battalion commander Benito was riding in a Leopard 1 tank with his body exposed outside, looking at the sparkling sea in the distance. Under the moonlight, the scene was very beautiful.

Unfortunately, the peaceful scene is about to pass, and now they are going to Iraq to fight!

As an army, defending the country is their sacred mission. If they were fighting on Italian soil, they would have no choice but to do so. But now, they were going to a strange country, the corrupted Middle East! Benito was actually reluctant about this.

In World War II, the Italian army was actually a supporting role because their fighting enthusiasm was not high. Now, they like fighting even less. However, this is not decided by them, but by politicians.

After the end of World War II and the beginning of the Cold War, Italy, as a member of the Western world, had to confront the Eastern Red Countries, and in this process, Italy could only act with NATO. Moreover, as a defeated country, Italy had little say in NATO. Now, at the request of the United States, Italy had to send troops and follow the United States into the quagmire of the Middle East.

Thinking of his relatives far away in Milan, Benito felt a little lonely. He looked at the sea in the north with empty eyes, and his mood fluctuated with the water.

Suddenly, his eyes tightened. What was that over there?

There seemed to be a bright spot on the sea in the distance! This bright spot was flickering on the sea and approaching quickly!

What was that? Was it because of his own eyesight? Benito rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked again, hoping to see the bright spot disappear.

It seemed that the bright spot was gone. Benito relaxed a little, but then he became extremely alert again. The bright spot was still there, but it had moved to a new location. It was right in front of him!

Although it was very dark at night, the bright spot could be seen in the moonlight. It was actually the body of a cruise missile! The engine at its tail was constantly ejecting jets backwards, pushing the missile forward. At the same time, the short wings on both sides were so eye-catching. From the appearance, it should be similar to a Tomahawk missile!

Unfortunately, all of this was thought up in Benito's mind in an instant, because in the next moment, the missile had already flown under the bridge! Then, a violent explosion resounded throughout the sea and sky!

"Boom!" The mountains collapsed, the earth shook, the tsunami rolled in, and the sea breeze was bleak!

With the explosion, the suspension bridge supported by the bridge towers on both sides suddenly broke in the middle. The concrete bridge body was blown into two sections and collapsed from both sides to the middle!

The vehicles on the bridge that were just moving were facing a catastrophe! The tank closest to the explosion was directly destroyed in the explosion! The adjacent vehicles had no time to react and slid into the sea on the tilted suspension bridge!

The bridge deck was in a mess. After the explosion, the Bosphorus Bridge no longer existed! The entire bridge deck on the sea surface collapsed into the water. The troops who were just on the bridge fell into the sea. They struggled in it, hoping to escape.

As for Benito, who witnessed the flying missile, at the moment of the explosion, he flew into the sky along with his tank!

For Italy's 3rd Mechanized Infantry Brigade, this was an unforgettable night. They were struggling in the sea, waiting for rescue. They were extremely frustrated. If the rescue was delayed, many of them would not see tomorrow's sunrise.
