life in the sky

Two days later, the United States deployed two more airborne divisions and three mechanized divisions to Iraq.Based on this situation, the General Staff of Huaxia quickly issued a warning to Iran that within the next 72 hours, the US military will launch an attack on Mehran and Hanagan, and pointed out that the geographical location of this area is extremely special. Outside of Er's mountains, there are almost all low-lying plains that are flat and easy to defend and difficult to attack.

This time Iran followed China's advice, mobilized two heavy armored divisions and three revolutionary guards, and concentrated one-third of its combat aircraft, determined to defend this area and prepare to attack the area. Large and medium cities block the U.S. military and strive to defeat the U.S. military in urban warfare.You must know that this area is the southern gate of Tehran.If this place is occupied by NATO coalition forces, Tehran will be in jeopardy.

Although Iran's determination is quite strong, whether it can hold it is another question. According to the report of the Huaxia Military Intelligence Department, the Huaxia General Staff judged that it is still quite difficult for Iran to hold this area.

There are many reasons for this, but there are mainly the following two points. One is that the preparations for the war are very insufficient, and the preparation time left for Iran is quite limited.After the war broke out, the large-scale bombing by the U.S. severely restricted the mobilization and deployment of the Iranian army, resulting in the lack of various supplies needed for combat by the Iranian army stationed in various cities.After the ground battle started, it was too late for Iran to provide assistance to troops stationed everywhere.

The second is that the U.S. military’s urban warfare capabilities have been greatly improved. After more than ten years of training on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. military has summarized many urban warfare tactics and developed a large number of weapons and equipment specially used for urban warfare.In the battle against major cities in Iraq, the U.S. military demonstrated very strong combat capabilities.

Mu Congwu didn't say that Ma Hongming might still understand a little bit, but what he said made Ma Hongming even more confused.

"Chief, I watched the televised speech of Iran's supreme leader, but what is the relationship between the combat performance of the Dongfeng series of anti-aircraft carrier missiles and his speech?"

Mu Congwu looked at Ma Hongming meaningfully, and said, "Director Ma, war is an extension of politics, and politics will determine the scope and course of war."

Ma Hongming thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "Chief, you mean..."

Mu Congwu smiled and waved his hands: "I didn't say anything."

Fifteen minutes later, Ma Hongming forwarded Mu Congwu's words to his staff officers. As for how much they can understand, it depends on their own abilities.Some words can only be understood but not conveyed in words. Otherwise, why would the ancestors leave behind the saying of pretending to be confused when they understand.

These staff officers are the best of the best with higher education, and they are in such a high strategic position. I am afraid that it is not difficult to understand the inner connection between these two things. It is just a matter of time. Sooner or later.

Just two hours after the Dongfeng series of missiles hit the U.S. aircraft carrier battle group, Iranian President Hassan released a message to the world via satellite transmission: "Two hours ago, the heroic Iranian army used our own developed 'strike Zerger' anti-aircraft carrier missiles struck US aircraft carrier battle groups in the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf, sank the USS Nimitz, severely damaged three other aircraft carriers, and sank six Burke-class destroyers Iran has smashed the attack of the US aggressors from the sea."

Although Hassan's announced results were somewhat exaggerated, anyone with a little military knowledge could see that the scene of the burning warship was real when Hassan spoke.

Hassan finally announced that Iran now has [-] Striker series anti-aircraft carrier missiles. If the NATO coalition warships led by the United States dare to attack Iran from the sea again, they will definitely suffer a devastating blow. No matter how many warships there are, Iran will also Fully capable of sinking them all.

Hassan also announced at the same time that the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf are prohibited waters for NATO military vessels led by the United States.If the United States and its followers dare to trespass without Iran's approval, Iran will take the initiative to attack them without warning, and the applicable period of this ban will continue forever.

Since Hassan released his speech at ten o'clock in the morning in the western hemisphere, major news media broadcast Hassan's speech one after another.As soon as the news came out, the world's public opinion was in an uproar, and the phone number of the press office of the US Department of Defense was about to explode. All the calls were asking the Ministry of Defense to confirm the authenticity of Hassan's speech.

Now the U.S. government has not come up with a unified caliber, and the Information Office of the Ministry of National Defense can only use the fact that the matter is under investigation to evade. Don't you know that this has aggravated the suspicion of these media.

As the saying goes, one mouth makes one gold, the government of any country in the world pays great attention to the guidance of public opinion, and the power of public opinion is very powerful.In the last century, the former Soviet Union accelerated its disintegration because it relaxed its supervision of public opinion and was used by the United States and other Western countries.

Almost all TV commentators are analyzing Iranian President Hassan's speech at the moment.The US CNN even invited the commanders of several decommissioned aircraft carrier battle groups to the studio.Faced with the host's question, these experienced commanders also had to admit that the results announced by President Hassan may be true. The US aircraft carrier battle group suffered a certain degree of damage under the saturation attack of Iranian missiles.

Slapping a swollen face to fill up a fat person is a consistent American style. Although these retired aircraft carrier fleet commanders say that the battle group may have suffered a certain degree of damage, they have to admit in private that the four US aircraft carrier battle groups It has completely lost its combat effectiveness, and the only way now is to immediately withdraw the four aircraft carrier battle groups that were hit hard in the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf, and never enter this area again.

These retired aircraft carrier commanders also believe that although Hassan's words are a bit bragging, it is impossible for Iran to have as many heavy-duty anti-ship missiles as he claimed at present, but if they are discounted in half, two hundred missiles are enough for the U.S. Navy. It's all in one pot, even if the United States sends all its warships there, it's useless.A missile is only a few million dollars, and how much a ship, especially an aircraft carrier, is worth, this account is very clear.

Hassan's strategic deception played an obvious role. If the United States knew that Iran only had eight anti-aircraft carrier missiles purchased from China, how would they feel?

At the same time, an urgent meeting was being held in the Oval Office of the President of the White House. President Bowman looked frustrated, and his expression also affected the cabinet members who attended this important meeting.

"Gentlemen, the U.S. Navy has suffered unprecedented humiliation and was defeated by a small country like Iran. We must take revenge!"

Under normal circumstances, the president will not set the tone before the meeting. He has to wait for the cabinet members to fully express their opinions before summarizing and summarizing before making a decision.Today, Bowman uncharacteristically set the tone for the meeting in advance, which shows that he is now in a state of desperation.

Bowman is also very clear that this time Iran's attack on the US aircraft carrier battle group is comparable to the Pearl Harbor incident during World War II.The House and Senate of the U.S. Congress will definitely question the Bowman administration, and the American people will also question Bowman's ability to govern.The U.S. government uses so much taxpayer money to maintain a huge navy every year. It can only scare some weaker ones on weekdays. Now it has been defeated by a small country like Iran. Is it necessary for the U.S. to keep so many aircraft carriers in the future?

This is the second thing, especially the families of the dead and wounded naval officers and soldiers will surely launch an anti-war movement. Like his predecessors, he was impeached.

The only way for Bowman now is to earn back face on the Iranian battlefield, and there is no other way to go.

Kornford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in a heavy tone: "Gentlemen, our four aircraft carrier battle groups were suddenly and shamefully attacked by the Iranian army in the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf. According to the pictures sent back by satellites, and According to the report of the commanders of the four aircraft carrier battle groups, we can now fully conclude that the four aircraft carrier battle groups have lost their combat capabilities, and the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier will not be able to continue to take off. The USS aircraft carrier battle group launched an attack on us at the same time, and our four aircraft carrier battle groups will face a devastating disaster.

Bowman waved his hand: "Mr. Kernford, we don't have to worry about this matter. I just had a special phone call with the President of China an hour ago. The other party made it clear that if the United States does not harm China's interests, they will be here Proper neutrality in this war, only humanitarian assistance to Iran, what we need to do now is, how do we deal with this very serious emergency?"

Secretary of the Navy Hagen said: "Our suggestion is to immediately withdraw the remaining warships of the four aircraft carrier battle groups from the area and sail to the nearby Zhangshu Naval Base for maintenance. At the same time, we must also seriously consider the speech of Iranian President Hassan, Is it still necessary to continue to send warships into the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf in the future.”

Bowman looked at Minister of Defense Chase. Now Bowman even has the heart to strangle Chase. If it weren't for the instigation of Chase, the spokesperson of a large arms dealer, and the big conglomerates behind Chase using Congress to put pressure on him , Bowman will never launch this military strike against Iran.Now it's all right, the interests of the arms dealers have been preserved, and the four US aircraft carrier battle groups are finished, but this huge political responsibility is made by Bowman, who is the president.

Chase also felt the strong murderous intent in Bowman's eyes, met Bowman's gaze, and said without showing any weakness: "Military strike against Iran is a decision made by the cabinet, and there are victories in wars." It is normal to have negative feelings, and we cannot give up our military strike against Iran just because of this small setback."

In the combat headquarters of the Huaxia General Staff, Mu Congwu once again held a combat meeting. It is more appropriate to say that it is the Huaxia General Staff Headquarters rather than the Iranian Three-Services Command commanding the Iranian army in this war.

If Iran had followed the advice of the General Staff of China, the situation of the war would have been reversed long ago, but it was because of Iran's self-willedness or its own considerations that the war fell into a stalemate. Iran's more than 80 troops actually fought However, there are 10,000+ NATO coalition forces. In addition to the gap in equipment, what is more important is the gap in military philosophy and command art.

It is precisely because of Iran's disobedience that the war situation is developing in the direction China hopes.Prolonging the US-Iran war as long as possible, dragging the United States to death in the quagmire of the Iranian battlefield, and further weakening the economic and military strength of the United States, this is the result that China most hopes to see.

In fact, it can’t be blamed that the Iranian commanders are too stupid. The main reason is that the advice provided by Huaxia to them is too ambiguous. As for whether this was the deliberate action of the Huaxia General Staff, I am afraid that everyone knows it very well.

In this way, the Iranian side suffered a loss and could not say anything. After all, the Huaxia side had already provided them with suggestions. If Iran made a wrong choice or did not adopt it, who can be blamed?

Ma Hongming said at the meeting: "The purpose of the NATO coalition forces is obvious. They have adjusted the offensive focus of this war in a timely manner, from the original simultaneous advance to a breakthrough in the middle. Now they are holding back Iran by 40.00% in the Daburi theater. % of the ground troops, and dragged 30.00% of the troops on the center line in Ilam, and the remaining 30.00% are some ground defense troops. If the U.S. annihilates the 30.00% of Iran’s troops in the Ilam area, Iran’s war The situation is bound to undergo a very big change. After losing nearly one-third of the main force, how can Iran defend the second line of defense and the vast deep area?

Mu Congwu nodded: "The same problem is now facing the NATO coalition forces. If NATO has enough confidence and strength to invade this area at a relatively low cost, they will come to Tehran and threaten The stability of the Iranian regime. If they lack the strength in this area, they will be trapped in the Alam region if they hesitate a little bit. At this time, the other 30 local Iranian troops will play a huge role."

With the laser pointer in Mu Guoxing's hand, he drew a large circle in the Alam area: "Faced with this severe situation, Iran can only adopt guerrilla tactics. It will be difficult for the U.S. military caught in guerrilla warfare to play its fullest role." The role of corps operations. Although Iran cannot beat the U.S. military armed to the teeth on the frontal battlefield, it is their strong point on the guerrilla battlefield. At least, the U.S. military has not yet been able to summarize effective tactics against guerrillas. Whether in Iraq , or on the battlefield in Afghanistan, the U.S. military failed to wipe out the guerrillas.”

"Chief, do you want to inform the Iranian side of this situation?"

Mu Congwu shook his head with a smile: "I don't think so, we have already given too many suggestions to the Iranian side. If you point fingers in front of others all day long, no matter how good a friend is, it will be annoying. Those Iranian commanders They are not fools, and they will not fail to see this. The next step is to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. At this point in the war, the NATO coalition forces should also have a taste of sweetness. Otherwise, how can we keep people Woolen cloth?"

Ma Hongming glanced at Mu Congwu, did not speak, just nodded slightly, he did not fully understand the strategic policy of the central government until this time, and it is only in the interests of Iran to drive out the NATO coalition forces as soon as possible. But it is not necessarily expected to have this result.

With the gradual deepening of the ground war, the anti-war sentiment in the United States is increasing day by day. The huge number of casualties and war losses make most Americans very disappointed with the Bowman government.

The only thing that makes the Bowman government feel gratified is that they have received strong support from the arms group and the energy group. You must know that wars are fought on the consumption of materials and logistical supplies. These interest groups make a lot of money, but unfortunately Ordinary people in the United States.

In the fourth week of the war, U.S. Secretary of Defense Chase announced the budget plan for additional military expenditures for the year. According to the budget of the Department of Defense, the United States will pay up to 8000 billion yuan in additional military expenses in this war, of which 6000 billion will be used For the purchase of weapons, equipment and ammunition, 500 billion will be used to pay for additional personnel costs and compensation for casualties, and another 500 billion will be used for the development of new weapons and equipment.

It can also be said that the U.S. Department of Defense has no choice but to spend 500 billion yuan on the development of new weapons and equipment.In this war, the Huaxia weapons used by Iran left a deep impression on the U.S. military. Not only China’s advanced J-18 and J-20 fighter jets, but also the Hongqi-16 air defense missiles provided by China to Iran also gave them a headache. No, not to mention Iran's heavy anti-aircraft carrier missile imitated by China.

For many years, the United States has claimed to be the number one military power in the world. When they woke up, they found that they had been left far behind by China.Not to mention conventional weapons, even the anti-missile defense system established by Huaxia is beyond their reach. Isn't it too late for them to realize that they are falling behind?

In the seventh week of the US-Iraq War, the US military that attacked Ilam and Bakhtaran achieved great victories. The two US airborne divisions attacked Khorama, a large city in western Iran, in a very short period of time. Bader and Sanan Daji blocked the retreat of the Iranian army and formed an encirclement situation.

At the same time, the three mechanized divisions of the US military in Iraq also launched a fierce attack on this area. In just 72 hours, the two heavy armored divisions and the three revolutionary guards of Iran's deployment here were destroyed. Completely defeated.

The Supreme Leader of Iran issued a televised speech, calling for a "national guerrilla war" against the US aggressors.This shows that Iran finally adopted the suggestion of the General Staff of China and corrected the head-to-head play with the United States at the beginning of the war. The lessons of blood and fire finally made the Iranians smarter.

After Iran offered the magic weapon of "guerrilla warfare", the US military faced even more problems.According to an analysis report by a relevant evaluation agency before the war, the U.S. military must invest at least 0 ground troops on the central battlefield of the Western Front in order to open Iran's western gate.If Iran launches a large-scale guerrilla warfare, even if the U.S. military invests another 0 ground troops, it will not be able to approach Tehran.

Bakhtaran province is the second most populous province in Iran after Tehran province, with a total of nearly 500 million inhabitants.Although some residents are Sunnis, the remaining 70% are Shiites.Once the U.S. military falls into the quagmire of guerrilla warfare, it will be difficult to complete the combat operation to capture Tehran.

The lack of US troops is still a secondary problem. Judging from the US mobilization mechanism, the number of ground troops that can be invested is likely to exceed 30.The key question now is whether the U.S. military can withstand the huge casualties of this war.

In the first three years of the Iraq war, the U.S. military only paid the price of thousands of officers and soldiers killed in action.Compared with Iran, Iraq can be regarded as a "paradise" for the US military.The U.S. military overthrew the central regime in Iraq in one fell swoop, and dealt with extremist organizations and mobs.However, Iran's central government still stands in Tehran, and both the president and the supreme leader have a strong appeal.

In addition, Iraq's ethnic composition and beliefs are very complicated, and it is divided into three powerful forces: Kurds, Shiites, and Sunnis. The US military can support one of these forces to deal with the other two forces and reduce its own pressure.But Iran does not have such a complicated ethnic composition, and its national cohesion and religious appeal are obviously higher than Iraq.
