Dominate South Asia

Now, give a part to the Arab coalition? In the original agreement, they solved their own logistics!

However, if the Arab coalition cannot reach the designated location as planned, then we will not be able to complete the goal of dividing and encircling the Iraqi army and completely annihilating Iraq's living forces!

"Give them airdrops and orders them to reach the designated location and cut off Highway 8 before dawn!" General Schwarzkopf said.

Although Iraq has a lot of armored vehicles, the main transportation of hundreds of thousands of troops is still wheeled vehicles, and Highway 8 is a major traffic artery connecting Basra and Kuwait City in Iraq. As long as this road is cut off, the Iraqi army can be completely surrounded in Kuwait.

The purpose of this operation is not only to drive away the Iraqi army, but to annihilate them! Only by completely eliminating Iraq's living forces can the United States win a good situation in the Middle East!

Originally thought it would be an easy victory, but now, General Schwarzkopf knows that it must be the Soviets who are playing tricks. Those Scud missiles, the sudden appearance of field air defense systems, a large number of portable surface-to-air missiles, and the leakage of their own routes of action are all done by the Soviets!

If it had been according to the original plan, it would have been the Arab coalition that was killed!

General Schwarzkopf was also very unhappy with Bush's meddling in the specific actions of the front line, but now, he has no other choice. Under the current circumstances, fighting this battle well is the most important thing at the moment.

No matter what the coalition does, their armored forces must enter Kuwait City as soon as possible and use powerful forces. To completely crush the Iraqi army!

A hundred kilometers of desert in western Kuwait. The armored forces of the US Seventh Army.

The sudden sandstorm delayed their actions. They were expected to reach the city of Kuwait at noon, but now the armored forces in the desert lost their way in the sandstorm and drove deep into the desert. The GPS positioning system failed!

The oil-drinking monster M1 tank. After running out of fuel, they could only wait there honestly, waiting for the supply convoy from the rear to arrive. In the shadow of last night, they were all a little nervous. If Iraq's Scud missiles attacked them again, they would be miserable.

Fortunately, after learning about their situation, the rear urgently dispatched C-130 transport aircraft to provide them with rapid logistics supply.

As an excellent tactical transport aircraft. C-130 has excellent short-range takeoff and landing capabilities, and can even airdrop supplies over the battlefield. In order to deal with the Iraqi portable air defense missiles that are elusive. This armored unit spread out a wide defense line to prevent Iraqi sneak attacks.

With a roar, the C-130 transport plane came. After discovering the armored forces from a distance, the pilot operated the plane and lowered the altitude.

The desert area is endless, which is also convenient for the transport plane to fly close to the ground. Gradually, the flight altitude was reduced to only a few meters. As long as there is a slight airflow, the transport plane may come into close contact with the ground.

The personnel in the cargo hold at the back are also highly nervous. At this time, the tail door has been slowly opened.

Unlike ordinary aircraft. As a military transport aircraft, it must have a wide tail door. Now, when this door is lowered, it is closer to the ground.

"Release!" With the shout. The personnel responsible for operation on both sides pulled the handle, and the fuel tanks in the cabin slid out of the track, slid down the slope formed by the tail cabin, and slid to the ground.

"Release!" One fuel tank after another was directly dropped to the ground. This airdrop method is far better than dropping parachutes. The airdropped materials are very concentrated and faster.

When the transport plane was pulled up again, the American soldiers who had been waiting on the side had already begun to open the fuel tank impatiently, sucked out the oil from it with the oil pipe, and poured it into the small portable fuel tank to refuel the tanks that had run out of fuel.

The tanks that could still be driven began to move over here. This batch of fuel arrived too timely.

With one C-130 after another risking to transport fuel, this armored force finally didn't have to worry about supplies for the time being. At the same time, the commander was also wondering, after waiting for so long, where are the transport convoys?

Modern warfare is fought on logistical support! The modernized army of the United States, without logistics, is just a pile of scrap metal! The huge armored clusters and the sky full of armed helicopters all require astronomical amounts of fuel.

As if they knew the weaknesses of the US army well, at this time, the elusive Iraqi squad drove a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle and began a sneak attack on the transport convoy.

These infantry fighting vehicles were also imported from Pakistan. They have advanced off-road performance and can travel quickly in desert areas. They have high off-road speed and low fuel consumption. They are also equipped with Red Arrow-8 anti-tank missiles and 20mm machine guns.

These infantry fighting vehicles emerge from the desert from time to time and fire at the American transport convoys that are transporting fuel. The 20mm machine guns can easily tear open the iron sheets of those tankers, and the high-explosive warheads turn the tankers into fireballs.

The American transport supply team suffered heavy casualties. On this day, more than 200 vehicles were lost!

And when the M113 infantry fighting vehicle covering the side rushes out and prepares to confront the opponent, it will be destroyed by the opponent's Hongjian-8 anti-tank missile. The M113's armor can only protect against shrapnel, and cannot prevent the Hongjian-8 at all. attack, they were very depressed at this time, why they didn't mobilize a few M1A1 tanks.

The only thing that could be called for was air support. When the Apaches arrived with anger, except for the burning oil tankers, the Iraqi armored vehicles had long since disappeared.

The Iraqis relied on this tactic to continuously attack the U.S. supply convoys, seriously delaying the actions of the U.S. troops attacking from the front. The huge heavy armored group did not advance to Kuwait within a day.

Baghdad, an underground building.

"Our military is very brave in fighting, and we are fully capable of turning Kuwait into a second Abadan!" Rashid, commander of the Republican Guard, said that today's day's battle was very effective, with various hidden weapons Used together, they achieved good results, especially when they killed an American armored regiment, which made them even happier.

"Thank you to Mr. Xiao. If it weren't for the accurate American action route provided by Mr. Xiao, we would not have been able to achieve such results." Saddam said to Shostakovich with a smile. Because he listened to Xiao, They won their first victory since the war began, and Saddam was also very happy.

"We just started the war and gained a certain advantage. However, we should be able to clearly see that the Americans' advantage is still huge. Kuwait City will not become the second Abadan. When the US heavy troops enter Kuwait Kuwait City will be lost within two days at most." Shostakovich said.

Back then, during the Iran-Iraq war, Abadan engaged in brutal street fighting. Tens of thousands of people were killed on both sides, and the fighting lasted for more than half a year. But now, Mr. Xiao said that our side could not defend it for even two days?

No one believed it, but Mr. Xiao was their hero this time, so he must have considered it.

"The Americans' air power is too powerful. As long as they free up their hands and coordinate strikes from the air, they can easily win street battles. No matter where we hide the snipers, they can call on the snipers above in a few seconds." The plane dropped bombs and killed the snipers. "Shostakovich said calmly: "Only by seizing air supremacy can we fight against the Americans. Now, we have no other choice but to withdraw from Kuwait."

"No, we are determined not to retreat!" After hearing his words, Rashid said: "Our army can still continue to fight!"

"When you can no longer fight, it will be too late to retreat!" Shostakovich said: "You have already seen the Americans' action plan. Their main force is not to besiege Kuwait City, but to make a large detour from Basra. We came here just to surround and divide our main force. Then eat it! The Americans will use their air force to bombard the armored forces on the ground. The tank battle with the British armored forces that occurred today will never happen again, even if the Pakistani army is willing to open a gap. , you may not be able to pass through other lines of defense of the US military!”

Air superiority! With the United States controlling the sky, the Iraqi army had no chance of winning. Shostakovich remembered his mission and must deceive the Iraqi army so that they could not be easily wiped out by the Americans.

"Then we are going to withdraw like this? Are all the sacrifices we have made in the past in vain?" said Izzat Ibrahim, the second-largest figure in the Baath Party.

"Of course not." Shostakovich said: "We are only leaving Kuwait temporarily. As long as our troops are still there, we can re-enter Kuwait at any time! I have a perfect plan that can embarrass the Americans on all sides. "

When Shostakovich told the people at the scene about his plan, which was actually the plan formulated by Mhamad himself, their eyes widened. I have to say that Mr. Xiao is a genius!

No, of course not Mr. Xiao. Such an action is definitely not Mr. Xiao. It should be the person behind Mr. Xiao, that is, the plan formulated by Moscow. I have to say that this plan is really tempting! (To be continued ~^~)
