Ionization rates of the hydrogen molecular ion H{sub 2}{sup +} under linearly polarized pulse of intense laser fields are simulated by direct solution of the fixed-nuclei time-dependent Schroedinger equation for the Ti:sapphire laser lines {lambda}=790 and 800 nm at high intensities starting from just above the Coulomb explosion threshold (i.e., 6.0x10{sup 13}, 1.0x10{sup 14}, 3.2x10{sup 14}, and 1.4x10{sup 15} W cm{sup -2}). Results obtained in this research exhibit a high degree of complexity for the R-dependent enhanced ionization rates for the H{sub 2}{sup +} system in these intense laser fields. The R-dependent ionization peaks move towards small internuclear distances and their structure becomes simpler and smoother with the increase in the intensity of the laser pulse, i.e., with the decrease in the Keldysh parameter. Results obtained in this research are comparable to and even more reliable than the results of other theoretical calculations reported recently and successfully simulate the experimental ionization data.
