Super military empire

"Follow the plan, and be ready to respond!" Powell saw the document sent by the Ministry of Defense, and the president had already signed their combat plan.

"At this time, should we take this opportunity to drag back all the wreckage of the fighter plane?" Schwarzkopf frowned and said.

Now that the ground war has begun, and a large number of troops must be invested, it is absolutely impossible not to take back the wreckage of the fighter plane.

"First save our soldiers! If there is a chance, let our artillery bombard that area!" Powell's brows were kept tightly locked.

For him, the wreckage of a fighter plane is more important than soldiers.

Following the command of the headquarters, the previously quiet military camps suddenly became busy.

The only airborne force in the United States, the second brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division under the 18th Corps, which is the 325 Parachute Infantry Regiment, and the direct field artillery of the division. The 319th Airborne Field Artillery Regiment has long been prepared. All of the soldiers are on standby in the airport, and all the equipment is in the surrounding airports.

The United States has mobilized a large number of transport aircraft teams. If they want to gain a war advantage, they must quickly airborne a large number of troops.

An infantry regiment, a field artillery regiment, there are not too many.

The second airdrop wave, the remaining first and third brigade, have all begun to mobilize.

Once needed, it can only be airborne to the battlefield within two hours.

"Let the intelligence personnel in that area set up ground landing markers, and the air force is on standby at any time to prepare for fire support. Order the naval force Tomahawk missiles to be ready to support at any time. Air reconnaissance aircraft and satellites must continue to monitor this area and surrounding areas. Surveillance in the area, once an Iraqi army appears, conduct long-range strikes and aerial bombardments!"

Commands from the headquarters kept coming out.

Dozens of large military transport planes took off from various airports in Saudi Arabia, and then converged over the border between Saudi Arabia and Iraq. The huge formation, protected by a larger escort fighter, headed towards the abdomen of Iraq.

And above the small town in the middle of the border between Iraq and Saudi Arabia, hundreds of tanks from the 24th Infantry Division suddenly started roaring and rushed along the road towards the territory of Iraq.

More armored vehicles followed along and rushed towards the interior of Iraq.

All this not only made it clear to the satellites in the sky, but even the Iraqi people guarding some small hills on the highway were so scared that they were about to pee their pants.

Some small trees on the mountain pack were brought down...

"The Americans dispatched hundreds of tanks?" Faced with such a situation, Hashim was somewhat unacceptable."Should they not send parachute troops?"

"In this area, their planes can't get in. And these tank troops are dispatched just to keep the retreat channel for the troops they came in!" Liu Suxue said coldly after seeing the photo, "Order us to be in Abu'a. The artillery and anti-aircraft artillery in the Meir area evacuated, and the field artillery artillery moved forward 3 kilometers. Within two hours, their airborne troops will appear!"

Hashim did not blame Liu Suxue for exceeding his power in the slightest.

He is the commander-in-chief.

Of course, in such a situation, the adviser their president hired seemed to be more capable than him for such a command position.

"Their tank troops are here, our dragon guard is still on the Iranian border..."

"Then mobilize some back. The Americans send these equipment. We don't eat some of them. I'm sorry for them!" Not to mention Liu Suxue, even Saddam, who just came over when he heard the news, is preparing to let the Americans go deep into them. The troops in the territory stayed behind.

If the heavily armed forces of the United States are crippled, the morale of the entire Iraqi army will be vigorously King Kong Wan.

"Now the Dragon Guards at the border are coming back. It's too late. The Dragon Guards in the Karbala area can intercept their armored forces. If the 24th Infantry Division wants to reinforce the area ahead, it must pass through Karl Bara."

Hashim pointed to a location on the map.

Everyone's eyes are attracted to this area.

In central Iraq, this is a transportation hub.

During the bombing on the first day, many areas of the city were paralyzed.

"How many troops do we have in the surrounding area?" Saddam asked.

The U.S. airborne troops are obviously going to land near the Abu Amer area, and their armored forces must enter this area if they want to open the passage to the north to support.

The U.S. 24th Mechanic Infantry Division entering Karbala via Highway 22 will mobilize most of the entire Iraqi army.

"Perhaps, they are just to take advantage of this opportunity to mobilize the hidden troops!" Liu Suxue's eyes flashed, and he pointed his finger at the road on the map and said."Access to Karbala via Highway 22 is not their only way. They can go north in our western town of Nukhab, where there is Highway 11 or Highway 1, and then continue south..."

Suddenly the entire command center was silent.

If so, it would not be so easy for the Iraqi army to encircle the 24th Mech Division.

At the same time, this will expose all their hidden army in the dark.

Either let them clear the way to rescue the troops in the Abu Amer area, or expose most of the hidden forces.

Otherwise, they wouldn't even want to eat this force that broke into the heart of Iraq.

In the western region, this is a weak zone for the Iraqi army to defend.

Most of the troops are in pursuit of the US and coalition forces, and many are lying in ambush in the desert.

Once it comes out at this time, it is obviously hidden and has no effect, and it will be bombed by the US air force.

Therefore, the previous plan was also disrupted.

On the Iraqi side, it never thought that the U.S. military would directly come in so blatantly.Especially the heavy equipment on the ground.

Liu Suxue studied the US military very deeply. The plans made with the Iraqi General Staff were that the US military used its massive air transportation capabilities to transport their airborne troops into this area. However, he did not expect that they would dispatch the 24th Infantry Division.

They are all m1a2 tanks, which are much more advanced than Longwei.

"We only have one border battalion in Nukhab, and we don't have any heavy equipment, basically don't count on it..." Hashim sighed.

"Our troops don't move in a hurry, wait to see if they go north and then go south or directly attack our Karbala." Liu Suxue was also a little speechless.

U.S. Command made such a move, apparently also to lure the Iraqi army.

The other party is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"How many graphite bombs do we have in this area?" Saddam asked suddenly."If we cover this area with graphite dust!"

Hashim and others all shined upon hearing it.

If the entire area can be covered with graphite dust, the advanced equipment of the U.S. military will not be able to function. In this way, the Iraqi forces and the U.S. military can use long-range firepower to attack each other.

"In terms of air forces, we have a big gap, but we have sufficient advantages in long-range support firepower. Rocket launchers with a range of 120 kilometers, surface-to-surface missiles with a range of 300 kilometers, and even our artillery forces can play A huge effect. Their tanks can only be outside the graphite dust area, and even as far as our graphite bombs fall, they have to retreat..."

"No, we need to wait for them to come in, and then greet them with graphite bombs. Let the Air Force prepare. All ground attack aircraft and bombers, all with graphite dust bombs!" Hashim licked his lips.

Graphite bombs are too much for them.

"I think we should take this opportunity to send out our air force and use cluster bombs to attack their armored units!" Liu Suxue said suddenly."The air is humid now, and there is not much graphite dust in the air. Our air force should be dispatched once, otherwise, it will be difficult to find a chance to perform..."

Now that the battle situation has changed, let these weapons be tested early.

So far, U.S. bombers have not received very good results against ordinary armored forces in Iraq.

The cluster bombs have not been used yet, and at this time, if the Iraqi Air Force uses cluster bombs, it may create miracles like graphite bombs, completely disrupting the layout of both sides.

In this way, everything is much easier to operate.

"Now our Baghdad airspace still has a lot of dust floating in the air..." Hashim brows continuously.

This thing is really embarrassing.

"That's only in the southwest region, but not in the northeast region. From there, mobilize fighters! Send a J-11 formation to escort, and other ground fighters and bombers are equipped with cluster bombs..." Saddam appreciates this plan very much. .

After a day of beating, the Americans did not have the guts to bomb Baghdad at night.

The sky over Baghdad has actually been shrouded in black smoke, and the billowing smoke rising from the oil is to prevent US reconnaissance planes and satellites.

Baghdad has concentrated a large number of advanced equipment and elite troops for defense, and is always passively beaten, which is completely incompatible with the style of the world's third largest military power.

"In this way, send our air force to let the Americans taste the taste of being bombed..." Saddam made the final decision.

The president's decision-making is paramount.

Therefore, the fighter planes hidden in the surrounding hangars in the airport around Baghdad were quickly dragged onto the airport runway...
