Super military empire

"In addition, in order to teach the Americans a more painful lesson, I suggest that we can retaliate against their aircraft carrier battle groups and guided missile destroyers in our coastal waters and Kuwait waters..."

Liu Suxue did not give up.

To beat the American aircraft carrier, this plan must be implemented.

He prepared many plans, but it is best to issue orders through Saddam's mouth.Iraq’s small navy serves as a cover, making it easier to succeed.

"Don't mention this for the time being. Let's eat their 24th Mechanic Infantry Division first! Then look at their reaction. If the Americans don't ask us for peace, then consider giving them greater losses..."

Saddam clearly did not want to challenge the patience of Americans more seriously.

Although, the Americans have launched an indiscriminate attack on Baghdad.

Liu Suxue said nothing.

The entire command center became quiet, and the combat plan was quickly perfected. The missile launch vehicle deployed in some hidden areas of Baghdad was also beginning to prepare.

At 5 a.m. Baghdad time, the US government held an emergency press conference. The White House spokesperson expressed their government and the president’s apologies to the world. They did not deliberately attack the Rashid Hotel with missiles.

The heavy smoke over Baghdad affected the connection between these missiles and the satellite system, causing their highly accurate missiles to accidentally blow up the Rashid Hotel.

At the same time, the White House spokesperson called on everyone still in Iraq to keep them away from military targets. The United States cannot ensure that all their missiles or bombs can accurately and directly fall on Iraqi military targets...

Ever since, the whole world was in an uproar.

This is equivalent to an announcement by the US government to the world that they will carry out an indiscriminate attack on Iraq!

The reaction of the outside world, no matter what, will hardly affect the combat plans of the warring parties.

The large number of American troops deployed along the Saudi-Iraq border marched towards Baghdad at full speed from the moment the order was issued.On Iraq’s Highway 22 and the northbound Highway 21, American armored vehicles and tanks are everywhere.

Helicopters are constantly hovering to prevent the Iraqi army from launching a sneak attack on their troops.

In the higher sky, fighter planes are constantly patrolling back and forth. This is no longer the domain of the Iraqi Air Force.The Americans keep patrolling hundreds of fighters in this area at all times.

The 24th Mechanic Infantry Division, formerly the Hawaiian Division established by the US Army in 1921, was reorganized into the 24th Infantry Division in October 1941. After the RB attacked Pearl Harbor, this unit fought with the RB army in the Pacific War. Its performance was not particularly outstanding. .

Then, in the Korean War, fighting with the Chinese Volunteers, the loss was not too serious; later on the Vietnam battlefield, the performance was very good.

This unit has rich combat experience and is one of the top elite divisions in the US military.During the Cold War, he was stationed in West Germany for a long time, facing the most elite steel torrent of the Soviet Union across the Berlin Wall.

With the outbreak of the Gulf War, the United States first transferred this well-equipped and experienced force from West Germany, where the situation had eased, to Saudi Arabia.

The whole division, like other heavy-loaded divisions, has three combat brigades and is equipped with five heavy tank battalions and five machine infantry battalions.A combat aviation brigade etc...

The entire unit is equipped with 290 m1a2 tanks; 280 m2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles that were finalized and put into production in 1980; 100 m3 cavalry fighting vehicles improved from m2 infantry fighting vehicles...

However, before the first day of battle, this most well-equipped heavy-loaded infantry division had already lost one and a half brigade of tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and armored vehicles, and the loss of personnel was more than 1,000...

As this commander known as the "victory division", Major General James is now very angry.

The shameful Iraqis actually suffered heavy losses in a sneak attack.

And their air forces, who did nothing in this matter, watched the Iraqi Air Force bombing their troops in the distance.

According to statistics, of the 130 tanks advancing along Route 22, 88 were scrapped, and only less than 40 remained capable of continuing operations, and many of them needed to be repaired.Armored vehicles suffered even more heavy losses.

Tracked armored personnel carriers have been killed by hundreds...

"Master, the ammunition we need will not arrive until tomorrow morning. The transport convoy was detonated by the plane falling in the sky..." The communications staff reported the situation to the angry teacher.

After the occupation of Nukhab, it became not only the logistics supply point of the 24th Mechanic Infantry Division, but also the location of their division headquarters.

The only air defense battalion in the entire division and numerous helicopters are stationed here.

"Logistics can't come, how can we launch an attack? Let the command airdrop supplies to us!" James gritted his teeth and said.

Then he asked his chief of staff, "How is our helicopter attack formation prepared? Has the reconnaissance plane spotted the enemy?"

"Commander, our fighter planes are constantly patrolling the sky..." The chief of staff meant clearly that the Iraqi Air Force could not launch an attack on them."The command of the headquarters is for other attacking forces to launch a general attack at six o'clock. The combat mission of our division is to pose an attack on Ramadi..."

"Along the 22nd?" James wanted to avenge the Iraqi army.

There is no way to deal with their air forces, but to vent their air with Iraqi ground forces.

"The 3rd Mechanic Infantry Division is in charge. At the same time, the 3rd Cavalry Division and the 1st Cavalry Division will wipe out the Iraqi army in Kuwait and the Iraqi armed forces near Basra in the south..." The Chief of Staff's words made James a lot better.

"The purpose we got was to present an attack on Ramadi, and Ramadi is not too far from Baghdad..." James' troops suffered a lot of losses.

In the area around Baghdad, one must be cautious.

The US military has not won the war for decades since the Korean War.

Of course, this refers to a major war.

Before the outbreak of the Gulf War, the U.S. military only fought with the thousands of troops of Noriega in Panama, and then fought a war with Libya.

The real big war is this time.

Although the United States has very low casualties, it is based on the fact that they have weapons and equipment far exceeding those of Iraq.For the same reason, they have the courage to deal with Iraq.

Perhaps, loss of psychotherapy.

According to James' understanding, the logistics department has prepared at least tens of thousands of body bags for delivery to Saudi Arabia.

It means that the United States can bear the loss of tens of thousands of people.

Therefore, even if his troops lose half of their land forces, they do not care too much. The Iraqis will suffer far more losses than they know.

After all, the 24th Mechanic Infantry Division also has a gunship attack force, as well as a divisional artillery, which is equipped with 3 155mm self-propelled howitzer battalions and a 270mm multiple rocket launcher battalion and other attack forces.

Although the loss is not small, the impact of combat effectiveness is not too great.

For commanders like this, challenging the armed forces of the three Iraqi divisions is not a problem.Not to mention that they have a huge amount of air support, and even long-range missile support.

"We must look for their troops to annihilate them to redeem our losses! The command entrusted us with this task not only hopes that we can attract their attention, but also hope that we can restore our honor!" Infantry, this is one of the most elite troops in the US military.

"Commander, I think we should disperse all the troops. Once the Iraqis launch a missile attack on us, the consequences will be disastrous..."

The chief of staff thought for a while and said.

Most of their ground forces traveled north along Highway 21, and the troops that first set off had reached the junction of Highway 21 and Highway 1.

The Iraqis have a large number of SCUD missiles in their hands. During the Iran-Iraq War, hundreds of them were launched to attack Iran.

No one knows how much they have now.

Even the Iraqis may have succeeded in imitating...

As the chief of staff, he has amazing instincts about these things.

"No, we must concentrate our superior forces to retaliate against the Iraqis! Our air defense artillery battalion is equipped with 48 Avenger air defense missile systems! There are also 36 Vulcan anti-aircraft guns..." The attitude is obvious. Their air defense force, Able to defend against other air attacks.

The teacher is crazy.

It became so because the loss was too serious.

It is very dangerous here. The reason why the U.S. Gulf War Command is located in the King Khalid Military City is because there is also a very tight air defense system there.

They hope to use this opportunity to attract and expose Iraq’s missile positions.

"At six o'clock, the helicopter formation is ready to set off. We go to Ramadi and demand that the headquarters must send air troops to bomb Ramadi without interruption!"

At this time, the Chief of Staff raised his head and glanced at the watch on his wrist. He was even a little worried that their soldiers did not sleep all night, and he was wary of the Iraqi sneak attack.

The opponent is the Iraqi army that has fought the Iranians for eight years.

It has the most advanced weapon system from the Soviet Union. Although the weapons of the Soviets are devalued to nothing, American generals and senior generals deeply understand that the weapons and equipment of the Soviets are no worse than theirs.

In the Libyan War that year, several early warning aircraft in the United States were killed by the Vega air defense system equipped by Libya hundreds of kilometers away...
