Dominate South Asia

Solving Tikrit will destroy the morale of the Iraqis! The US troops coming from the north drove straight into the outskirts of Tikrit.

This ancient city with a population of more than 200,000 is a sacred place for Iraqis and the birthplace of their hero Saladin!

And now, the city is surrounded by the 1st Cavalry Division of the 3rd Army of the United States. The barrel of the M1 main battle tank is raised high and fired the first shell at the city.

"Boom!" The high-explosive grenade instantly destroyed a building on the street.

Thinking of the mess that the country was messed up by these hateful Iraqis, the hearts of Americans were filled with deformed desire for destruction. Anyway, it is a war time! What's the big deal about hitting a few civilian targets!

"Boom!" The AH-64 armed helicopter also followed and launched a fierce attack on the local garrison camp. Rockets poured out from the rocket launcher one by one, and the ground was full of smoke from the explosion.

The main forces were sent to the front line. The militia stationed in Tikrit was only a second-line militia with only 2,000 people. Facing the attack of the Americans, their annihilation was only a matter of time.

Slowly, after dawn, a large number of American military aircraft were almost dispatched in full force. Even the American aircraft carriers stationed in the Persian Gulf took off carrier-based aircraft to support ground combat operations.

The United States was angry, and the consequences were serious! It was too easy to fight against Iraq with all the strength of the United States.

Saddam organized terrorists to conduct unlimited warfare on the US mainland, which was absolutely intolerable to the United States. It was only a matter of time before the huge American war machine could flatten Iraq against a small Iraq!

Pakistan. Islamabad.

War, even if only a small detail is ignored, will lead to a rapid deterioration of the situation.

This is the case in Iraq now. The Americans rented Pakistan's ground effect aircraft. Muhammad realized that the American attack would be risky this time, but he did not expect that the Americans would attack from the north!

In a country, traitors are always the most shameless. The most despised thing is that Iraq's current situation is caused by the traitors of the Kurds in the north! Without their guidance, the US military would not be able to quickly pass through northern Iraq and reach Tikrit smoothly.

Now, the entire north may be welcoming the arrival of the Americans, and those Kurds are staring at the territory of the presidential palace in Baghdad!

"This chess game is difficult for Saddam." Looking at the map. Muhammad said: "Iraq's main forces are in the south, but now. The main direction of the United States is the north."

It must be said that the Americans are first-class at fighting, and they turned the disadvantage around in an instant.

"Then how should Iraq mobilize the army?" Mushaaf asked: "Mobilize the army from the south?"

Mhammad shook his head: "Absolutely not, mobilizing troops from the south is a dead end. The Americans occupy the Iraqi sky. The air strikes some time ago. Iraq's air force has almost disappeared. Now, if Iraq dares to mobilize troops from the south, the US air force will cause heavy losses to the Iraqi army."

It will definitely be a heavy loss! Think of the Gulf War back then. The defeated Iraqi army retreated hastily on Highway 6. In the desert, they were ruthlessly attacked by American fighter planes, suffered heavy casualties, and many troops finally had to surrender.

Now, if they dare to quickly mobilize the army in broad daylight. It can only be a painful defeat like history.

"What should they do?" Mushaaf asked.

"Give up Tikrit. Give up Baghdad." Muhammad said: "Saddam should move to Basra, establish a defense line there, and fight a decisive battle with the US army!"

As long as the army is mobilized, it will be attacked by air. The huge army mobilization can only become a target of the US Air Force. Therefore, at this time, Saddam should be allowed to move to Basra, to the middle of his large army, to command the army to fight.

In fact, if the Iraqi army really confronts the US army, the outcome is also obvious, but the longer Iraq persists, the heavier the blow it can bring to the United States.

"Contact Xiao and ask him to tell Saddam about our suggestion." Muhammad continued, "I hope Saddam is smart enough to delay Iraq's failure."

"We can't contact Xiao anymore." Mushaaf said, "Xiao's contact was cut off last night. It is very likely that Xiao was also trapped in the war in Iraq."

Muhammad was stunned: "Let our intelligence personnel find Xiao. Xiao must not get into trouble!"

Shostakovich, but he transported a large number of arms to Iraq. If he got into trouble, especially if he was caught by the Americans, it would be a big trouble. Thinking of this, Muhammad was very worried.

However, over the years, Shostakovich has fully demonstrated his ability. He has been active everywhere and has formed a secret network. No matter where he goes, he is like a fish in water. In theory, he will not have any problems.

………

"Boom!" There was an explosion on the road in the distance. With the explosion, a big hole was instantly blown up on the road ahead.

Seeing that the road ahead was blocked, the young man driving had no choice but to grit his teeth, drive the car off the road, and bump forward.

Must meet Saddam as soon as possible! If this stupid and arrogant guy orders the troops in Basra and Kuwait to return to defense, Iraq's military power will be wiped out by the US air strikes!

The call was disconnected before the call was completed. Shostakovich knew that he had no other choice but to take the risk of entering Baghdad again! He had to remind Saddam!

Several bodyguards were sitting next to the powerful Mitsubishi off-road vehicle, which was bumping forward. This time, Shostakovich was able to take risks.

In this way, while constantly dodging air strikes and advancing, this civilian vehicle was not noticed by the aircraft overhead. In this way, it continued to advance to the outskirts of Baghdad.

However, when he arrived here, Shostakovich looked at it with a high-magnification military telescope and still had to shake his head, no, we can't get through!

Although the Americans broke in with heavy troops from the direction of Turkey, they also spent a lot of money on the attack on Baghdad. Just after the second batch of armored troops were transported by ground-effect aircraft, the 82nd Airborne Division of the United States also launched an attack in the Euphrates River Basin. A parachute drop!

More than 10,000 American soldiers bloomed in the sky, including M551 tanks that can be airborne, and various paratrooper equipment. The arrival of this force announced the complete siege of Baghdad by the United States!

If only paratroopers were dispatched, without heavy weapons behind the enemy, they would be easily annihilated one by one. But now, in cooperation with the 1st Mech Infantry Division, soldiers from the two divisions swarmed towards Baghdad and surrounded the city. Be strict.

Obviously, the Americans also know that if they want to capture Baghdad, they must go through brutal street fighting! To this end, the United States has mobilized a large number of military personnel, and their fighting will is also very high.

The 82nd Airborne Division is also a unit with outstanding combat achievements. In April 1965, war broke out in the Dominican Republic. The 82nd Airborne Division was ordered to take action. With the 3rd Brigade as the leading force, it quickly deployed to this Caribbean republic and carried out an attack on the rebels. repression. In March 1968, during the Vietnam War, the 3rd Brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division participated in the final battle. In May 1978, the 82nd Airborne Division was ready to carry out airborne operations in Zaire. In November 1979, he prepared to go to Iran to rescue American hostages. In October 1983, they parachuted to Grenada and used rapid and deep attack tactics to achieve victory in less than a month. In December 1989, during the U.S. invasion of Panama, the 82nd Airborne Division used parachute multi-channel attack tactics to quickly seize Panama's Torrijos International Airport and control key points in depth.

Now, it's time for this army to show off its talents again! Under the protection of heavy ground equipment, the parachute area was safe. After landing, they quickly gathered up and completed the encirclement of Baghdad.

When the American war machine is launched, it is simply invincible. Putting aside their previous failures, the Americans fought brilliantly on the first day of the battle.

Attack from a long distance, go straight to Baghdad, rush into the north, and surround Tikrit! Military observers applauded this tactic.

After all, the most direct sign of the demise of a government is to capture their capital! The United States obviously wants to quickly occupy Baghdad and destroy Saddam's regime!

If Saddam was surrounded in Baghdad, he would be almost unable to fly!

As the fighting continued, the most brutal street fighting began.

The Iraqis are not afraid of positional warfare or street fighting. During the Iran-Iraq war, the two sides fought a brutal and bloody battle in Abadan, killing tens of thousands of people.

Now, the Iraqis believe that this street fighting can last at least a month or two. However, they underestimated the brutality of the Americans.

The sky was full of American AH-64 armed helicopters. As soon as they found Iraqis hiding in a building, rockets flew directly over, turning the entire building into ruins.

Americans actually don’t care about the lives of the citizens inside!

Taking a tough approach, almost as if they were going to bulldoze Baghdad, the Americans are moving forward step by step.

The proud Medina Division originally planned to rely on the buildings in the city and the fortifications constructed to continuously attack the invading Americans, but the air strikes left them at a loss. (To be continued ~^~)
