Dominate South Asia

"Go around and strike from the opponent's flank!" Ali, the somewhat bloated commander of the 8th Armored Brigade, shouted on the radio inside the Type 90 tank.

At night, the advantage of Pakistan's main battle tank in night vision was immediately revealed. Although the performance of the T-80U tank purchased from the Soviet Union was relatively advanced, at night, it was scum.

Infrared headlights are outdated, only infrared imagers can rule the night!

Brigadier Ali hurriedly led his team out of Baghdad and discovered the American armored forces here, and a battle began.

After discovering that his own armor-piercing projectiles could not penetrate the opponent's main armor, Brigadier Ali did not order a sudden advance. Although the performance of the armor-piercing projectiles was closely related to the range, he believed that at a distance of one thousand meters, the artillery fire fired by his own main guns would The missile can definitely penetrate the opponent's tank, but it is very risky. If you can't reach a distance of one thousand meters, you will be hit by the opponent!

Now, the only way to go around the opponent's flank and strike at their weakly armored flank is! After all, only the main armor at the front of a tank is the thickest, and the sides and back are very thin. Otherwise, the tank will become a monster of more than a hundred tons.

The 1,500-horsepower engine at the rear is roaring, driving the tank forward quickly. Ali does not need to identify friend or foe. Except for their tanks, the rest of the Iraqi armored forces use infrared headlights, so as long as If you see anyone not using headlights, just give them a good beating!

Relying on their good maneuverability, they rushed forward quickly, their tracks crushing the rice fields on the outskirts of Baghdad. The test of blood and fire was right in front of them!

The fighting was fierce. The Republican Guard soldiers came from Tikrit, Saddam's hometown, and they were the most loyal. They also have the highest combat literacy. Now, they are faithfully executing President Saddam's orders to eliminate the Americans!

The American front was completely collapsed, and they were anxiously awaiting the arrival of the next batch of armored units.

Baghdad.

"We have pushed the Americans to the bank of the Euphrates River. We will drive them all into the water and end the battle before dawn!" Rashid vowed to the president.

"Come on, Americans. This is your burial place!" Saddam looked at the clock on the wall. It was already past five o'clock. In one hour, it would be dawn. He would bring victory to Iraq. The news is broadcast to the whole country and people all over the world through television!

"Mr. President, hotline No. 1." At this moment, an assistant came over quickly and said.

Hotline No. 1! Now, it can become the No. 1 dedicated line. It was a secret phone call from Mr. Xiao, the person Saddam trusted most!

In order to combat the electromagnetic interference of the Americans, Iraq laid a fiber optic network throughout the country. Relying on this network, Saddam can issue command orders to lower-level officers and soldiers, and can also receive confidential phone calls.

"Hello." Picking up the phone, Saddam said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Xiao, as expected, the Americans appeared near Baghdad and have been defeated by us."

Had it not been for Mr. Xiao's reminder, Saddam would never have mobilized the elite Hammurabi division back. If it hadn't been for the bloody battle of Hammurabi's division tonight, the Americans might have invaded Baghdad. Saddam already admired Mr. Xiao extremely.

"Mr. President Saddam, the situation is urgent. Americans may enter from the north through the Turkish border. Please prepare in advance." Mr. Xiao's urgent words came from the other side of the phone.

from the north. Coming in via Türkiye? Saddam's expression suddenly changed.

Iraq occupied Kuwait, so the most likely direction for the United States to attack is Kuwait. Now the Kuwaiti royal family is in the United States, crying every day to restore the country.

so. Iraq has deployed heavy troops in the south and few troops in the north. As for those mountainous areas in the north, they are almost undefended. Now, the Americans actually want to attack from the north?

What can I do to stop the Americans attacking from the north? Moving troops from the south? I'm afraid it's too late to transfer the Medina Division? Who will defend Baghdad?

"We estimate that it is likely that the Americans' third army in Europe entered from Turkey. Moreover, they may have bribed the local Kurds. We must be more vigilant against this army. They may enter from Turkey in one night. If we come from the north, the first target may be Tikrit," Mr. Xiao continued on the phone.

On this war-torn night, Mr. Xiao's phone call was very urgent, and there were explosions heard on the phone. It seemed that Mr. Xiao was also in Iraq, but he just didn't have time to come over.

"Mr. Xiao, what should we do?" Saddam asked anxiously on the phone. At this moment, he relied more on Mr. Xiao, hoping to come up with a satisfactory countermeasure.

"We need to decentralize command and launch a people's war..." Before he could finish the next sentence, there was no sound on the phone.

"Hello, hello." Saddam's voice became louder and louder, but nothing could be heard. It was obvious that the Americans sent countless special forces to carry out sabotage in Iraq this night, mainly including Iraq hastily built a fiber optic communications network.

what to do?

Tikrit is my hometown, and we must not let the Americans attack our hometown! Veins popped out on Saddam's hands. This time, the Americans unexpectedly acted out of common sense. Every punch hit Saddam's weak spot firmly.

During the Iran-Iraq war, the Iraqis still fought in positional warfare with modern weapons, as they did during World War I. They had no understanding of military reforms or new military changes. Modern warfare is already high-tech, and there is no front or rear. The war is over!

"Report, urgent call from Tikrit, large-scale troops found in the north!" Saddam just put down the phone when this unfortunate news came again.

Through the imported advanced frequency hopping radio, communication can still be carried out in an environment with strong electromagnetic interference. This news was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Saddam suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and his vision went dark. .

There are many mountainous areas in northern Iraq. Thanks to Iraq's rich oil resources, roads have been built in these mountainous areas to allow heavy vehicles to pass.

Just last night, after dark, the huge U.S. Third Army began an expedition. Starting from the Turkish border, the vanguard soldiers killed the border checkpoints and then surged into Iraq.

It was very difficult not to be discovered. The US Third Army was dispatched thanks to the Kurdish guides.

It has been several months since Iraq launched a terrorist attack and destroyed the United States. Americans are clamoring every day to kill Saddam and avenge the dead Americans, but they have not taken any action. Of course, there is a reason.

After analyzing the last failure, the Americans redeployed, especially since the last strategic goal was to drive away the Iraqi army and restore Kuwait. But now, the operational goal is to completely overthrow Saddam's government. The strategic goal The differences have also allowed the Americans to adjust their action plans. In the past few months, the CIA has been continuously operating in northern Iraq, reaching an agreement with the Kurds, and repeatedly surveying the route of advance.

Just rely on those few ground-effect aircraft from Pakistan? That's definitely not possible! After fighting for so many years, the United States will certainly not put its eggs in one basket!

Just as the elite First Infantry Division flew to the vicinity of Baghdad in a ground-effect aircraft, the Third Army also started marching. They had to travel a long distance, and on this night, they marched hundreds of kilometers!

Without local guides and careful prior arrangements, this would definitely be a failure.

But now, when passing through the mountains and driving along the highway in Iraq, Barak, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Division of the Third Army who was leading the vanguard, knew that this surprise attack would definitely succeed!

The U.S. 1st Cavalry Division, nicknamed "The First", was established in 1929 and is one of the two heavy divisions in the U.S. military's rapid reaction forces. Since its establishment, it has participated in World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and now the Gulf War.

As a heavily armed cavalry division, this division does not have a single horse. Their mounts are already steel chariots.

There are 3 cavalry brigades under its jurisdiction, with 348 M1 main battle tanks; 798 M2 infantry fighting vehicles, M3 cavalry fighting vehicles and other types of armored combat vehicles; these armored forces are a terrifying existence, and Iraq really cannot In a war with a monster like the United States, the main force of one American division is enough to sweep across the Iraqi Army.

In particular, the United States, which has always advocated air attack, even this cavalry division has compiled a large number of helicopter units. This cavalry division has a total of AH-64H attack helicopters, UH-60B multi-purpose helicopters, and OH-6 reconnaissance helicopters. , EH-60 electronic warfare helicopter and 127 helicopters of various types.

Thanks to the unexpected attack and the emptiness in northern Iraq, following the route led by the Kurds and avoiding the big cities along the way, this army went straight to Tikrit!

Finally, just before dawn, the armored force, which had marched a long distance, appeared on the outskirts of Tikrit. After the accompanying tanker truck replenished fuel, their attack finally began!

Tikrit is the capital of Saladin Province in Iraq and a large city in northern Iraq. It is the birthplace of Saddam Hussein. It is the hometown of major Iraqi government officials and Republican Guard soldiers. It is also the hometown of the Kurdish hero Saladin. place of birth. The hero launched a holy war in 1187 AD, leading the Egyptian army to the Crusaders and regaining control of Jerusalem. (To be continued ~^~)
