Dominate South Asia

"Boom!" A Hellfire missile came down from the short wing of the Apache helicopter. The T-80U tank hidden behind a dirt wall was attacked from the top and its head was blown open instantly. In a ball of fire, the tank was destroyed.

The American offensive was so fierce that the Iraqi soldiers who had long been accustomed to positional warfare were shocked. However, as the dignity of the Republican Guard, they chose to continue fighting. At the same time, they were also using their own weapons to attack the enemy.

A Needle anti-aircraft missile flew up from below with a tongue of fire. An Apache helicopter had no time to dodge. The engine on the top emitted black smoke and fell down.

The battle of blood and fire was constantly going on.

At the same time, knowing that the hateful Americans were invading their sacred land and wreaking havoc in the ancient city of Baghdad, Iraq's huge southern army finally couldn't sit still.

Although the fiber optic network was arranged in advance, before the US invasion, the American special forces who secretly infiltrated began to wreak havoc, and Iraq's command was not smooth again.

Mr. Xiao had long suggested to Saddam that he should decentralize the command power and flatten the tree-like command structure, but this suggestion was ignored by Saddam.

Now, there are problems at key nodes, especially without orders from Baghdad, and the army below is suddenly in a state of being leaderless.

They are restless, looking forward to orders, but no matter how they contact, there is no response from Baghdad.

Lieutenant General Hazraj, who is stationed in the south, can no longer preside over the overall situation. The continuous bombing in the sky has also made him lose contact with the army below. The only army he can command is the two divisions stationed in Basra.

Without the president's order, the army cannot be mobilized privately. This is equivalent to treason. In a country like Iraq that has been in constant rebellion, Saddam can become a ruler and control the army. The hand is also very tough.

Now, we can only wait!

The waiting of the southern army has frustrated the Americans' desire to destroy the other side during the raid, but the battle in the north. It is going on very quickly.

The next morning, Tikrit was taken by the Third Army. After occupying Tikrit, the vanguard of the Third Army, the First Cavalry Division, which had just won a victory, continued to advance towards Baghdad, fighting together with the First Mechanized Infantry Division and the 82nd Airborne Division of the 18th Airborne Army, striving to attack the central street in the shortest time. Occupy the presidential palace!

At the same time, the follow-up troops were also moving in continuously. The combat objectives of the US military are very clear, first occupy the north, and then drive all the Iraqi troops in the south into the sea!

After nightfall, the battle continued to be fierce. With the help of individual night vision goggles, American soldiers prefer to fight night battles. In the night vision goggles. Hidden Iraqis can be easily found by them, and then sent to hell with sniper rifles.

"Boom!" As several T-80U tanks intercepted on the corner of the street were destroyed, the American soldiers were excited and finally attacked the city center of Baghdad!

The streets were full of bodies of dead soldiers. Those Iraqis who tried to stop the US army from entering were now facing this fate!

"Listen, people inside, stop resisting immediately. Come out and surrender!" Outside one of Saddam's official residences, a dozen M1 tanks surrounded tightly, and an American soldier shouted in poor Arabic.

"Americans, go back! This is the territory given to us by the true God! You will not be allowed to blaspheme!" A shout came from inside.

Then, in the building inside. A gun came and hit the tank. There was a popping sound.

Facing these ungrateful Iraqis, the American soldiers did not have that much patience. Fireballs came out of the tank muzzle, and several grenades blasted the buildings here. Then, the tank drove over backwards and crashed into the wall.

"Pay attention to the search, especially the basement!" the captain leading the team shouted.

Baghdad has been captured this time. Another important task is to capture Saddam and bring him back to the country for trial. At the very least, Saddam's body must be found!

American soldiers holding M16 rifles slowly searched each room. This time would also be their most dangerous time.

Nothing was found.

Saddam's official residence, not just this one, on another street, a team of Americans also surrounded an official residence, a luxurious villa area, it is said that Saddam's family often lives here.

When the same shouting began, the door inside opened, and a man who looked like a butler came out with his hands raised tremblingly.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I surrender!" This guy still used English.

Seeing that this guy was so sensible, the lieutenant walked over and asked him: "Where is Saddam? Is there anyone else in this yard?"

"President Saddam, I don't know where he went. He has not appeared since the war started. The yard is full of servants. However, we know that there is a treasure in the basement of this yard. It is Saddam's private property. As long as you can let us go, we are willing to contribute these properties."

Hearing that there is property, the lieutenant's eyes turned and shouted to the people behind him: "Come on, follow me in!"

A team of people walked into the villa and, led by the housekeeper, entered the yard.

Suddenly, the housekeeper's feet stopped.

"Americans, go to hell!" The housekeeper suddenly showed a fierce light on his face, and then, he held a switch with his fingers and pressed it hard.

"Boom!" The butler was instantly blown into pieces, and a large number of American soldiers beside him fell down.

Such scenes were constantly being played out. Facing the invading Americans, the Iraqis fought bravely and fearlessly. Unfortunately, the balance of war still favored the Americans with powerful military force.

When the sun came out on the third day, the gunfire gradually stopped.

In front of the presidential palace, the red, white and black Iraqi flag, dotted with three green stars and the words "God is great", was lowered, and the American flag, representing freedom and democracy, was raised!

The citizens of Baghdad who survived the brutal siege looked at the Stars and Stripes and tears flowed unconsciously.

The United States, the White House.

"Good news, everyone, our brave soldiers have flattened Baghdad!" Bush Sr. looked at his staff and felt relieved: "Our troops have won! We have overthrown Saddam's dictatorship in Iraq!"

The news from the front came that the US military had occupied Baghdad, and the total number of casualties was less than one thousand! Compared with the last time when tens of thousands of people were killed at one time, this kind of casualties is completely acceptable to the United States!

This is a victory worth celebrating!

"Mr. President, we just liberated Baghdad. The huge Iraqi army is still a terrible force in southern Iraq and Kuwait. As for Saddam, the president of Iraq, we searched Baghdad and couldn't find him." Hearing Bush Sr. say this, Defense Secretary Cheney on the side couldn't help but pour cold water.

The war has just begun. Although it is a victory at the moment, it must not be taken lightly!

"Cheney, occupying the capital of a country means the demise of a country!" Bush Sr. said: "We have occupied Baghdad, and Saddam's regime is doomed! Their troops entrenched in the south will soon be demoralized! If they dare to challenge us, it would be even more stupid. As for Saddam, we will definitely find him!"

Bush Sr. is quite satisfied with everything now. By occupying Baghdad, his strategic goal has been achieved.

"Next, what we need to do is to support the Kurds, establish a new interim government in Baghdad, and then sign a series of cooperation agreements with this government. With the participation of us Americans, the reconstruction of Iraq will be completed quickly!" Bush said confidently.

As a politician, you need to look at the problem from a higher level and have a long-term vision! Iraq is now leaderless. Saddam may have died in Baghdad, but his body has not been found yet. Even if Saddam went to the south and re-led the southern army, there is nothing to fear. We have already gained a solid foothold and will no longer be afraid of Iraq's Scud missiles, unless Saddam wants to bomb his people together!

Bush attaches more importance to the new strategic locations and economic benefits opened up for the United States after occupying Iraq!

Iraq, the Soviet Union's ally, is now about to completely turn to the West! Another bridgehead of the Soviet Union in the Middle East has been captured! With Egypt no longer interfering in Middle Eastern affairs, only Syria is still connected with the Soviet Union.

The US strategy of containing the Soviet Union will be more stable, and at the same time, the US will also gain unprecedented economic benefits.

Iraq is full of oil. With the support of its own side, the newly-elected Kurdish government will maintain good relations with the United States, and the development of those large oil fields will also be managed by American companies!

"Now, we are going to hold a press conference to announce to the world our victory in the anti-terrorism war in Iraq!" Bush said excitedly: "Let our people know that the taxpayers' money is not wasted. Our American army is the most powerful force to protect our country and people!"

Looking at Bush's expression, CIA Director William frowned. The president was happy a little too early. As long as you study Saddam's life experience, you can find that he has also had several ups and downs. When the assassination of Kassem failed, this guy fled to Egypt alone with a leg injury.

Now, since Saddam has not been blocked in Baghdad, it will be a great trouble if he makes a comeback.

However, where did Saddam go? (To be continued ~^~)
