From Arms Dealer To King of War

  Chapter 853 Bloody Battle of Mosul

  858

  When NATO troops, Iraqi government troops, Kurdish militias, and even Iranian volunteers all formed a joint force...

  Boss Joe, as the guy who twisted many parties into one rope, provided the most important air support.

  At this time, even if Isis can ask God to come down to earth, the form cannot be reversed.

  The book of war says ten rules to surround it!

   Now that Isis is dead, there are only a few thousand people, and there are nearly 100,000 troops gathered around Mosul.

  Of course, many of the 100,000 troops are improvised. For example, in order to maintain humanitarian access and provide services to other troops, the nearly 20,000 logistics personnel recruited on the spot are also counted among them.

   But this is also scary!

  Donahue didn't expect that when he connected with the real big brother of the "Brotherhood", the original "hot potato" suddenly became the fat on his lips.

  The combat personnel that can be commanded suddenly expanded tenfold from NATO's 7,000 soldiers.

  The Reaper UAV I applied for is still traveling across the ocean. With the assistance of P·B, there are now two UAVs on duty in the sky at any time, and they are still carrying high-precision anti-tank missiles.

   If the battle is intense, Gayala's four propeller fighter jets can take off at any time, and they can arrive at a distance of 40 kilometers in ten minutes.

  What is this concept?

   Before Donahue had time to feel the energy of the Brotherhood boss, his men and NATO officers began to react...

   "Everything is smoother!"

   Really get what you want!

  The P·B logistics support system, which was fully operational, quickly sent the armored vehicles and heavy firepower that the U.S. military kept sending to Baghdad to the base.

   There is no more annoying news in the cafeteria, and there is no mocking smile on the faces of the cooking soldiers.

  Happy water, Snickers bars, chocolates, and cigarettes filled the canteen at the Mosul base.

  The most important thing is that a large number of P·B auxiliary soldiers arrived at the Mosul base and took over the security work of the base, and even the dry cleaning of vehicle maintenance and clothes.

  Just to let the NATO troops enter the city to die smoothly, oh no, let them enter the city to save the innocent Mosul people.

  War is about logistics. When the logistics are completely up to date, the morale of the entire base will be completely different.

  The change happened within three days, and then those NATO officers who were originally dissatisfied with Donahue, the airborne commander, were completely convinced.

  When the atmosphere has reached this level, what else is there to say?

let's hit!

  The ancient city of Mosul was divided into 100 irregular grids, and Antares was so meticulous that when dividing, even the excellent positions inside each grid were marked.

  When 2,000 NATO soldiers were ready, Donahue called a wave of powerful bombing from the Persian Gulf.

  The 10 F-16s were divided into two batches, and amidst the harsh air raid sirens, a large number of expired aerial bombs were dropped into the designated positions.

  Then 2000 NATO soldiers rushed in driving the vehicle, and then followed the guidance from the rear to seize the key points.

   Then, under the protection of a large number of mercenaries, "Fried Tang" led a large army to break in, and began to recruit all the ordinary people in sight.

  The old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled all got into the car, and others who could run followed behind.

   The mercenaries were divided into two groups, one was responsible for covering 'Fried Tang' and the others, and the other was responsible for assisting the NATO soldiers who stood still and began to encircle and suppress the terrorists in the area.

  The retreat of most of the civilians caused these wolf-like Qiu Ba to explode into extremely strong fighting power.

   Enemies are hiding in buildings, so call in air support...

  The anti-tank missiles of the drones are not powerful enough, so call the Bradley Fighting Vehicles and let them fire a round with the Viper cannon first, then open the way with grenades, rush in and kill them.

   Once the terrorists lose civilians as a barrier, their firepower will be completely at a disadvantage.

  However, this urban street battle was still fierce, and both sides suffered heavy losses.

  However, NATO surprisingly did not choose to retreat, but stepped up its offensive.

  Compared to the aggrieved feeling of powerlessness before, such a smooth advancement and killing gave the officers in the base hope to solve the problem on schedule.

  The mercenaries are more skilled and tough...

  They can skillfully summon P.B’s mortars and air force cover, and they will take photos and punch cards every time they lay down a place to prove that they have completed the KPI, and then start fighting for bonuses.

   There were only so many terrorists in a small area. After killing them, the mercenaries began to take over the positions built by NATO soldiers, seized this basic board, and then let the NATO soldiers go back to rest and prepare to fight again tomorrow.

   One grid was gnawed for a day, 15 mercenaries were killed or injured, 23 NATO soldiers were killed or injured, ISIS died more than a hundred, and not a single prisoner was left behind.

  No one questioned it, because everything is difficult at the beginning, and so is war!

  The most stupid thing about the Pentagon before was that it wanted to do it alone without the Iraqi government forces. As a result, it handed over the areas that had already been captured in Mosul.

   Now that you want to start over, you have to be prepared to make sacrifices.

After the first piece of land is taken, and then the second and third are also taken, as the coalition's control area expands and ISIS soldiers decrease, the speed and efficiency of the attack will increase exponentially, and the losses suffered will also increase. smaller.

  After everyone formed a joint force, the masters were all capable of fighting, and they were very satisfied with the attack effect on the first day.

  Donahue arranged for all the Black Hawks to take off, and sent the wounded to Baghdad overnight and entrusted them to P·B. The slightly injured were directly returned to China by transport plane, and the seriously injured were stabilized in the Baghdad hospital.

  Then when the Black Hawk returned, the cabin was filled with large-caliber ammunition and portable rocket launchers. By the way, I was urging the P.B transport team. The consumption of the front line was very high, and they needed to step up the supply of ammunition.

  The next day started with bombing again...

  Donahue has a strong tactical ability. After careful consideration, he decisively chose to bomb the area two grids away from the first grid, because there is the main force of Boisis there.

   Then the battle of the first day was repeated again.

  The casualties of the coalition forces were even greater this time. A company of Polish soldiers accidentally fell into the encirclement and was maimed.

  However, Donahue, who had entered the commander state, did not take care of them except to send support.

  The war progressed very fast!

  When the second grid is occupied, the two sandwiched grids will be self-defeating.

  Not only did the 4 grids connect together, but also rescued the civilians in it without any effort.

  Donahue's tactic is to rely on the advantages of reconnaissance, armor, and air, and first crack the hard nuts.

   won 4 places, provided the coalition with tactical depth, and then the battle began to be one-sided!

  The people of Isis came back a bit. They sent people close to the 4 grid outer defense area and started close combat.

   As a result, on the third day, Donahue chose to bomb a row of areas separated by 4 grids, and then dispatched 4,000 people at one time, eating 4 grids with the assistance of mercenaries and government troops.

  Then the army did not sit idle, but turned back and made dumplings for the terrorists who fought against the soldiers defending on the spot.

  Choga watched Donahue's command in Gaiala, and he didn't see anything surprising.

  But Donahue's execution and determination still made him full of praise.

   There is no need for any mysterious tactical arrangements, no need to rack your brains to think about how to win by surprise...

   It is to rely on Mosul's current advantages in reconnaissance, military strength, and firepower, and make practical tactical choices that maximize revenue.

   It is head-to-head, it is crushing you, it is not giving you a chance to breathe.

  This style of play is very refreshing, but the losses in urban street fighting are also great!

  This is only the third day. Yesterday, the Polish company withdrew from the sequence. Today, a company in the Netherlands was also disabled. Lao Mei’s own loss is not small.

   On the books, it seems that the NATO coalition forces have actually suffered a loss, but you must know that Donahue is doing a "proposition composition", and he needs to take Mosul within the specified time.

   When over-limit bombing is not allowed, winning 12 areas in three days is an undisputed excellent result.

  Afterwards, they can repeat this tactic, and decide whether to eat 8 grids at one time or simply swallow 12 grids according to Isis's arrangement.

   It's normal to fight to the death. The toughness and decisiveness shown by Donahue drove some NATO officers to become tough together.

  All the wounded will be sent away immediately, because Donahue doesn't want to affect the morale of the soldiers.

  It's a pity that NATO's army is still a bit inferior. The battle in Mosul is several levels worse than that in Grozniz back then.

  However, the three days of hard fighting and the loss of nearly 200 people still made some soldiers afraid.

  Someone unexpectedly complained to Donahue, wanting to change the rhythm of the war and not wanting to die.

   As a result, this guy received an order in less than 15 minutes on the phone, and will go into battle tomorrow as a vanguard...

  Donahue raised the tempo of the war to a high level, causing the mercenary group to suffer huge losses.

  But it is impossible for these 'businessmen' to quit at this moment.

   If you have an advantage, the Pentagon will not do business with them in the future!

  Facing such a huge loss, those members of the mercenary group will inevitably complain to Boss Joe...

  It's a pity that their previous actions have clearly stated that everyone is just a business partner.

  'Business is business', it's meaningless to talk about friendship now that you've suffered a loss.

   After dispatching a group of representatives of the mercenary group who came to complain about their grievances, Qiaojia made a video call of the 'Three Yellow Chickens'...

  When the "Three Yellow Chickens" in Baghdad answered the phone, they were busy coordinating the take-off time of the drone.

  The moment the phone was connected, "Three Yellow Chickens" smiled and said, "Boss, what's the matter?"

  Joga saw the bustling Baghdad base through the camera, and he said with a smile: "I got the news that the U.S. drone is coming soon.

  With those in your hand, everything is enough.

  Notify your pilots to drive my 4 F-16s and two Su-27s back to Central Africa.

  I greeted Syria, passed through them, and flew directly to Libya.

  Let Yehuo take the Weipei squadron and take the C-130 directly to the base in Sangha Town.

  There is no battle for them here, let you go to Central Africa and Congo for a while, it is more lively there now. "

  'Three Yellow Chickens' heard it, stared and said: "Boss, all 6 jet fighters are going to Central Africa?

  Afika Who can resist this blow?

   And there are only two Su-25s left, in case there is a need in Mosul, is it really enough? "

   Qiaojia laughed, and said: "You pilots have helped a lot, I don't care if they use my plane as a training plane, but what's the use of flying alone, it's just a waste of money.

  Now they are not needed here, let them fly to Central Africa and rule over them.

  This kind of large-scale transition is also very enjoyable...

  Flying fighter jets across the Mediterranean Sea, accompanied by Russian fighter jets when passing through Syria.

  As long as they can stabilize, they will have to raise their wages after the flight. "

  'Three Yellow Chickens' heard it, and said incredulously: "I'm stupid, is this okay?"

Qiaojia felt the excitement of the 'Three Yellow Chickens' as soon as he heard it, and he said with a smile: "If you don't think it's exciting enough, I will quietly inform the Greeks and use shore-based radar to find them when they pass by. good."

  'Three Yellow Chickens' rubbed their hands excitedly after hearing this, and finally sighed and shook his head and said: "Farewell, let's not make trouble, such a large-scale transition is difficult enough.

   They're all good guys, don't let anything happen. "

   Said 'Three Yellow Chickens', looked at Qiaojia, and said cautiously: "Boss, tell me, is the trouble in Central Africa serious?

  I have to prepare a little bit. If the trouble is serious, our current 6 pterosaurs can actually be borrowed for a while.

   You and Haftar are good friends anyway, right? "
