Dominate South Asia

"It seems that we have to eat field rations again today." Sitting on a hillside, leaning against a big rock, Private George opened his backpack and took out a hard compressed biscuit from it.

Turn on the kettle, take a sip of water, eat a piece of compressed biscuit, and then imagine eating a delicious sandwich in your mouth.

"George, you are right. The news from above came down. Our supply convoy was ambushed and only two vehicles were lost. However, the road is blocked. It is estimated that the supplies will not be delivered to us until tomorrow morning." Next to George, Gretel, who is also a private, said.

The radio soldier had just climbed to the top of the mountain, contacted his superiors, and received this depressing news.

High mountains can block radio signals, and even satellite phones often have no signal and have to go to the top of the mountain.

As we continue to go deeper into the mountains, the roads are difficult, and many places cannot even be reached by armored vehicles. We can only rely on our own feet. Even the special forces can't stand it, let alone ordinary field troops like them.

"George, what do you think is going on? We have obviously broken up a lot of Iraqi armed forces, but why can't we defeat them?" Gretel said while eating dry food.

"Gretel, do you know about the war in Afghanistan?" George said to Gretel.

"War in Afghanistan? Of course we know! The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan and aroused resistance from the Afghan people. In the end, the Soviet Union failed and withdrew from Afghanistan in disgrace." Gretel said.

As he said this, he suddenly realized: "You mean, the Iraqis are now learning from Afghanistan?"

Although George is a private, he has a pair of sharper eyes. He has seen the current situation, which seems to be slowly becoming unfavorable to his own side.

"How is this possible? We are making the Iraqis flee in confusion. They will definitely be annihilated by us." Gretel continued.

"Annihilate?" George said: "Unless we can know where the Iraqis are hiding and surround them, we can annihilate them. Now wandering around in the mountains, we will never be able to annihilate them."

………

Iraq, Baghdad, U.S. Middle East Command.

Lieutenant General Gordon Sullivan, the commander-in-chief of this large-scale operation to clear out the remaining Iraqi troops, looked at his staff with extremely cold eyes.

"Obviously. We are facing a big problem. It's the same problem that the Soviets encountered. When our large forces enter the mountainous areas to clear out the enemy, they will hide. When we leave, they will gather there again. We did not hesitate to use force against the Iranians to win this precious cross-border strike opportunity. We will never tolerate such a result!”

The army's endurance is limited right now. The encirclement and suppression campaign into the mountains can be said to have reached a deadlock.

The leading troops have penetrated more than 100 kilometers into Iran. The surrounding mountains have been searched several times. It can be said that our side has completed all tasks according to the prior plan, but it has not achieved the desired goal at all and has not defeated the Iraqi armed forces!

Encirclement and suppression in mountainous areas is a very difficult operation, which stretches one's own front. This led to complications in rear supply, and logistics personnel even began to plan to use mules and horses for transportation.

These Iraqis only dodge and don't come forward to fight! After all, the United States is an outsider. Without a local guide, it is just hide and seek in those mountains.

"We must find the real hiding place of the Iraqis. There are problems with our previous intelligence. Those informants may be fooling us, selling us the intelligence, and then informing the Iraqis." A staff officer said.

"Not necessarily, maybe they have too many informants. When our people passed by, they were already on guard and moved ahead of time." Another staff officer said.

Fighting in a different place. It is in the mountainous area again. Without the help of local people, it is difficult to catch these jackal-like guys. Lieutenant General Gordon is very annoyed. What he said now is useless. The key is how to solve these problems!

The intelligence displayed by the reconnaissance satellite shows that the Iranians are not willing to accept the invasion of the US military. They are constantly mobilizing their troops and actively preparing for war. If they do not resolve the current battle as soon as possible, a large-scale armed conflict with the Iranians is likely to break out.

I don’t know what those guys in the White House are thinking! Is it easy to fight the Iranians? Those guys are guys who can shoot directly at machine guns and rush forward without even blinking! Fighting Iraq is absolutely different from fighting Iran! If these 50,000 of our own are scattered in the mountains of Iran, they will become a grain of sand in the desert, insignificant.

"Report, the SEAL team discovered the Iraqi base camp. There are at least 3,000 people in a secret camp in the mountains north of Mahabad! There is also a Kurdish force there!" At this moment, Gordon Will finally get some exciting news for him.

The intelligence this time was sent by the SEALs. Special forces can show their talents during encirclement and suppression in mountainous areas. They are divided into small teams and become the sharp knives of the encirclement and suppression force.

The Navy SEALs also got involved, and now, a small team of SEALs finally found the Iraqi base camp!

Their mission is not to eliminate the Iraqis, but to keep a close eye on the Iraqis! No matter what special forces they are, it is impossible for one person to select a group of people. They are not supermen.

The Iraqis can thrive in the northern mountainous areas of Iran, and they must have received help from the locals! Now, there are Kurdish armed forces there, and it is obvious that the Iraqis are involved with the Kurds.

The United States uses the Kurds to stabilize the situation in Iraq, while Iraq uses the Iranian Kurds to fight against the United States. This is simply too ironic.

The Kurds are a knife.

Looking at the map, Lieutenant General Gordon used a colored pen to draw a few arrows on it: "The troops in the north will rush here along this mountain road within two days. The troops in the middle will rush to the western region along the mountain road within two days. The troops in the south will rush to the southern region along the river. Tomorrow, the 101st Airborne Division will deploy troops in the east and set up a blockade!"

Gordon's strategic intention is very clear. Set up a pocket here to surround all these Iraqis! Surrounded on all sides, the Iraqis can't escape! This time, the resistance of the Iraqis must be completely eliminated! It would be best if Saddam could be caught!

Following Gordon's order, the US army, which had dispersed into small groups and searched for Iraqis on all sides, reorganized into a large army and began another rapid maneuver in the mountains.

With strong air transport capabilities, the Americans can even adopt the most commonly used leapfrog tactics locally, transporting soldiers to the designated area through transport helicopters and arriving quickly.

With all the main roads occupied by the Americans, the surrounded Iraqi armed forces will be unable to fly.

"General Ali, our people have reported the news that the Americans are forming a siege on us." In a cave, under the dim oil lamp, Sayyid, the head of the Kurdish National Front, said: "If they block all the roads, it will be difficult for us to retreat."

Now, they have retreated to the point where they can no longer retreat. Although they have been retreating, they have been constantly consuming the strength of the Americans. Sayyid can accept this style of play. Now, they have discovered that the Americans are faintly trying to encircle them, but they have no response plan yet, which makes Sayyid a little uneasy.

In particular, the US military has air superiority. If they are surrounded and bombarded here, these people on our side will find it difficult to escape.

"Don't worry, we have received the news." Ali said: "The Tehran government has prepared more than 100 ballistic missiles to counterattack the US invasion! When the Tehran government's missiles are launched, the American air force will be the first to be hit, and the American logistics supply will be cut off. They have no chance to fight again."

Tehran government! After being silent for so long, the Tehran government is finally going to take action! The cooperation with the Iraqis was to provoke a fight between the Tehran government and the Americans, and then we can wait for an opportunity to be independent. Now, this wish is slowly coming true! Sayyid's eyes were suddenly filled with surprise.

"Moreover, we also learned that the two armored divisions of the Revolutionary Guard of the Tehran government are coming towards us. The vanguard is only one day away from us. Let's wait and see the show quietly. The Revolutionary Guard will definitely fight with the Americans." Ali continued.

Revolutionary Guard! This is Iran's most powerful force! When he learned that the two armored divisions were coming, Sayyid was still a little anxious. Then he heard that they were going to provoke a fight between the United States and the Revolutionary Guards, and Sayyid was also very interested.

"So what should we do specifically?" Sayyid asked.

"Wipe our weapons and prepare our ammunition. Tomorrow will be the most important battle in our history! It will hit the Americans and Iranians hard, and also lay the foundation for the establishment of Kurdistan!" Ali said very provocatively.

In Sayyid's eyes, a flame was burning. The Kurds, who had wandered for centuries, should have their own country!

Watching the two men leave, Ali's eyes slowly revealed worry. Now it is indeed the most critical time. I just don't know if this news is reliable? Although Mr. Xiao's judgment has never been wrong, this time, he is betting with the full strength of the Iraqi resistance organization! (To be continued ~^~)
