the world is at stake

Not only did the Iraqi people start to gather around Saddam, but even the residents of Palestine all ran towards Iraq—Palestine and Israel had a deep hatred, and they had long hoped that someone would take the lead in killing the Jewish vampires.

'Hamas' and 'Hezbollah' expressed that as long as Saddam Hussein is willing to persist, its organization is willing to provide all assistance to Iraq.

Even Arafat, who was dying, took out 50 U.S. dollars from his embezzled coffers, pretending to donate it to Saddam Hussein.

The situation took a turn for the worse...

The Sharon government is in a hurry, and it is really difficult to ride a tiger - if Saddam is so efficient in gathering the prestige of the Arab region, it may be the sixth Middle East war, and all green and green countries will unite to fight Israel.

Countries such as Egypt and Syria have even mobilized their own troops and demanded that Israel withdraw its troops immediately on many international occasions.If it weren't for the United States' pressure in the Middle East, a big melee would have started long ago.

Right now all the chips are on the cards, and there is no way for the two sides to retreat. Even the 'Brotherhood' feels great pressure.Marco Shi also did not expect Saddam Hussein to be able to stabilize the situation under such a bad situation.

Only Saveli, the leader of the 'European Will' under house arrest, sneered, "Do you think this is just a coincidence with a small probability? No, this reversal is the protection of the weak side by the dungeon mission.

As long as certain conditions are met, it will inevitably appear.

If it weren't for the unpredictability of such an elusive reversal, I would have used the time-space dice to brush the dungeon and wiped out all of you.How is it possible to wait until you guys take advantage of it?

Now, you can do nothing but watch failure approaching. "

To Saville's ridicule, Marco raised his eyes after reading the frontline battle report, and said calmly: "You are wrong, I expected this situation. So I will never lose."

Chapter 38

Under the darkness of night, the defensive position near 'Zai Dan' was under fire.

The old imam trotted forward in the trench with two RPG rockets on his back.The trench was originally deep enough to hide people, but after many rounds of shelling, the floating soil collapsed and it has become a shallow ditch.

Climb from ditch to ditch and enter a barracks covered with steel plates and thick soil.An officer with a broken arm gave the bad news, "My lord, your son is dead."

"The son?"

"Both are dead." The Iraqi army officer with a broken arm looked haggard and said indifferently, "They volunteered to go to the west bank of the river to scout and indicate targets for our artillery.

But not long after they went, they lost contact with us.Another group of scouts said they saw them engaging the enemy.Without any flinch, die bravely. "

"I knew there would be such a day." The old imam was stunned, and put down the rockets he was carrying, "I'll get you some more to eat."

The officer with the broken arm stepped forward and hugged the old imam, which was a bit of comfort.The Iraqi soldiers in Baghdad seem to have matured in the past three or four days, disregarding life and death, and treating casualties as numbers.

The two sons of the old imam can only be regarded as militiamen. They did not really go to the other side of the river to spy on the Israeli army. Instead, they were sent as cannon fodder to harass their opponents.

Similar methods can be seen everywhere on the battlefield. In order to close the gap with the enemy in terms of equipment and information, frontline commanders have to use human lives to offset.

There are millions of volunteers among the 500 million Iraqis.They don't need too much organization, they bring their own weapons and dry food on the battlefield, and they will be there wherever there are Jews.

Western media are discrediting this heroism, and claiming that Saddam Hussein fled Baghdad a long time ago; they also said that the shooting of Qusay was a farce, and Qusay did not die at all;

In response to rumors that Saddam Hussein would pop in front of a Baghdad building that had just been bombed under 'tight security' to take pictures.

For example, Sahaf announced at the Palestinian Hotel that Qusay was shot dead because he fled, and the building was destroyed by heavy Israeli bombs a few hours later.

The aging Saddam appeared in front of the ruins in person a day later.He took a video, shouted a few slogans, and then disappeared.

The Western media again smeared that this is a stand-in, and the real Saddam had already run away.

Two days later, the State Council also announced that President Saddam Hussein was seriously injured in an Israeli air strike because of the betrayal of a traitor.But he is still alive, and he would not leave Baghdad even if he died.

The effect of these audio and video recordings is stronger than any religious brainwashing, and it has greatly encouraged the morale of anti-Semitic forces around the world.Countless people seem to be trickling into the sea, running towards Iraq in one go.

The old imam didn't feel too much sorrow for his son's death. He left the anti-cannon garrison cave and walked towards the back of the position along the collapsed ditch.

Several mobile 'Sam 6' launch vehicles ran back and forth in the transfer channel in the position, shells and bombs almost chasing behind.They run and stop to shoot in the air, but generally the results are not great.

The Israeli army took advantage of its own technology and exchanged cheap drones and even large aircraft models for the opponent's precious anti-aircraft missiles. This is another false target tactic that cannot be distinguished by radar, which abruptly caused unnecessary consumption of the Iraqi army.

Under the camouflage net of the forward position, a PTZ-89 self-propelled anti-tank gun squatted in the bunker, only the turret was exposed and stared ahead.The commander of the gun crew emerged from the top of the turret and stared at the river bend 2000 meters away with his night vision goggles.

On March 3, the Israeli army completed all the work of crossing the Euphrates River in the campaign.They mobilized more than 20 M400AL self-propelled artillery for fire cover, and divided them into two parts, the north and the south, to attack at the same time.

In the sense of smashing walnuts with a sledgehammer, two armored divisions are not enough. The Israeli army transferred all three local armored divisions to bully the flat terrain around Baghdad, with no obstacles except the Euphrates River.

As long as you succeed in crossing the river, you will go straight to Huanglong.

On the afternoon of the 20th, under the gaze of reconnaissance drones, more than a dozen Israeli artillery battalions began to bombard targets on the east bank of the Euphrates River, focusing on Iraqi air defense positions and ground fortifications for artillery preparation.

With the use of extended-range rockets, the range of the M109AL can reach [-] kilometers, and it can almost reach the international airport west of Baghdad across the river bank.

After consolidating their fighting spirit, the Iraqi army did not show any weakness. They also dispatched purchased drones and anti-battery radars to scout Israeli positions on the West Bank. After confirming the target location, they used long-range rocket launchers and ballistic missiles to carry out counter-bombing.

One of the most important tasks for both sides is to hit the opponent's drones, and the second is to run away after firing a few rounds.Because once the position is exposed, basically it is too late to escape and will be covered by overwhelming ammunition.

This is also true for the Iraqi army, because the Jews transferred the M270 'Steel Rain'.Rockets are used in the near, and tactical missiles are used in the far, and the threat is extremely high.

In the blood-for-blood contest, the two sides are competing for economic and industrial strength.Under the blood and tears, a lot of equipment and personnel became one-time consumables, and the establishment was finished after only firing once.

From day to night, Israel, which attacked nearly a thousand kilometers across the domain, had the advantage.It not only has more equipment, but also has more high-quality soldiers, which can be continuously replenished and losses can be minimized.

The Iraqi side is suffering. Even if the whole world donates money to Saddam, China is desperately producing and refitting, but its strategic airlift capacity is far inferior to that of the United States. When goods are transported to Iran and enter Iraq, they will also suffer damage from air strikes.

The anti-tank artillery crew under the camouflage net was inspired by Saddam's spirit to return to the position. After a whole day of fighting, their spirits were a little bit in a trance.

It is easy to get hot blooded, but it is difficult to last.

The air defense position that had just been built for three days exposed its position after shooting down a few drones. The Jew on the opposite side immediately used the 'Steel Rain' to launch rocket submunitions.

The entire position was covered by scattered sub-munitions, crackling and blowing up more than half of the football field.All unprotected personnel were killed.

Including the North Korean political worker who encouraged the Iraqi soldiers all day long also died, with no bones left.

so cruel.

It was the militia led by the old imam of the village that kept the soldiers from fleeing for the second time.

This dozens-year-old man really called the whole family back from the road of escape.The women in the family cook for the army, and their sons and grandsons also go to the front, doing odd jobs, carrying shells, or serving as cannon fodder.

At this moment, the front is the last trace of silence before the decisive battle.

Everyone knows that the final duel of life and death is about to begin, and what breaks this tranquility is the sound of the rotor of AH-64A 'Apache'.

After nightfall, the Israeli army bullied the Iraqi army's lack of night vision equipment. On a front about ten kilometers wide, it mobilized dozens of "Apaches" to take the lead and flew over the Euphrates River from low altitude.

The driver's infrared night vision device scans the battlefield, and the weapon operator in the back seat is ready to use machine guns or missiles to kill any hostile targets at any time.

Behind the 'Apache' is a batch of UH60 'Black Hawk' helicopters urgently purchased from the United States.

These general-purpose transport helicopters hung rocket pods and carried about half a squad of soldiers to land on the east bank of the river to provide security for the subsequent forced crossing.

In addition, some large transport aircraft such as CH47'Chinook' directly hoisted light armored vehicles and artillery to provide fire support for the advance troops.

"Ali, what should we do?" The driver of the gun crew poked his head from under the hatch and asked the commander.

The fire control of PTZ-89 is too backward, and it does not have the ability of "motion-to-motion" shooting, so it is only suitable for defensive warfare, referred to as "black gun".

Once it squats, it is not suitable to move around, otherwise it will be easy to be found.Seeing that the enemy has already started to move, the driver is a little nervous.

"Those are not our targets." The captain shook his head.He has only one opponent, and that is the enemy's heavy armored tank 'Merkava 3'.

Sure enough, the Israeli helicopter hovering at low altitude was quickly attacked.

There are other Iraqi infantry around the anti-aircraft position. In the dark night, hundreds of orange tail flames suddenly rise into the air and shoot at the 'Apache' or 'Black Hawk'.

Immediately on the ground, the roar of the turboshaft engine's high-horsepower output could be heard. It was the armed helicopter performing violent maneuvers and evasion, and at the same time there was the bang of the release of the flame bomb bait.

But the flame bomb is not very effective against the third-generation individual air defense missiles.As for violent maneuvers, helicopters can't compete with highly agile missiles.

When the warhead continued to explode in mid-air, what really helped the 'Apache' survive was its thick-skinned and rough armor.Only a few were shot down at the scene, and many armed helicopters turned around and fled after being injured.

As for the personnel and armored vehicles left behind by the 'Black Hawk' and 'Chinook', they had already exchanged fire with the frontline troops, and a few of them fell into the minefield, unable to move an inch.

The support artillery fire of the Israeli army soon rang out again, trying to break the siege for the advance troops.The PTZ-89 at the same front can only pray to God that the bunkers and camouflage nets they stay in are not directly hit.

Fighting is such a cruel swap.

At 200 o'clock in the evening, the Israeli engineering troops erected the first batch of pontoon bridges, and tanks from an armored battalion drove across the [-]-meter-wide river, and their rumbling tracks rolled over the tidal flats on the east bank.

Both sides are using night vision equipment to observe and search for targets.

The gunner of PTZ-89 locked the first Merkava 3 with low-light equipment, but orders came from the radio, and the remaining commanders were calling for the anti-tank team and assigning tasks at the same time.

There are only three PTZ-89s assigned to the 'Zaidan' area, but the other two did not respond to calls. I don't know if they have been exposed and destroyed.

The surviving PTZ-89 artillery crew was nervous, because their teammates had only a few anti-tank missile teams left, running around carrying the bulky 'Red Arrow-8' missiles.

According to the performance of the "Merkava" series of tanks in actual combat over the years, professionals judge that this is a special tank specially designed by Israel for street fighting and bullying Palestinian children.

There are no powerful countries in the Middle East, and 'Mekava' does not need to consider facing large-caliber heavy armor-piercing projectiles.Its headaches are rockets and anti-tank missiles.

These ammunition have a characteristic, the muzzle velocity is low, and the armor-piercing warhead of shaped charge is used.

Chinese military personnel openly stated that there is no need to be too afraid of 'Merkava 3', and even the latest 'Merkava 4' that has not yet entered service is scum.This tank only considers 'anti-break', not 'anti-penetration'.

That is to say, the Jews have mastered the propaganda channels, coupled with the constant hotspots in the Middle East, the 'Merkava' is constantly being photographed, and it has blown a second-rate tank into the world's top class.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." The commander retracted into the turret and patted the gunner on the shoulder. "The Chinese say that this anti-tank gun is sharp enough to knock open the iron cans of the Jews on the opposite side."

The gunner was sweating, because the PTZ-89 defense was extremely weak, and it was basically found to be dead.Now he can only hope that the semi-automatic loader in the tail compartment is as powerful as the Chinese boast-it bursts and fires five rounds in 30 seconds.

The Israeli tanks crossing the river are spreading out, and they want to build a position five kilometers deep on the river beach.Both sides in the battle were very nervous, waiting for the command to give an order.

The time of ten seconds seems to have passed more than ten years, until a flare was shot into the sky from the mortar.

The surviving artillery group of the Iraqi army opened fire on seven or eight enemy crossings on the ten-kilometer front, and the rocket launchers and ballistic missiles from the rear also joined in, releasing anti-personnel submunitions and terminal sensitive ammunition against tanks.

The PTZ-89 artillery crew had to resist the urge to join the shelling, because it was not their time yet—the Iraqi army had received repeated instructions from the North Korean military aid commander, and they were not allowed to fire without orders.

Under flares, rapid-firing artillery blasted the landing site selected by the Israeli army into potholes. Laser guidance aimed at the pontoon bridge, and a 155-caliber howitzer could blow up the steel pontoon bridge in two.

The forced Israeli army will be easily divided into two parts, which forces Israeli engineers to risk their lives to repair it.

The battlefield was full of flames and shrapnel flying.

The driver of the gun crew couldn't help but push open the hatch, raised the binoculars and looked in the direction of the enemy.He laughed loudly and shouted: "Small bombs, cluster bombs are blowing up the Jewish infantry, blowing them to pieces."

After the submunition, the terminal bomb launched by the rocket opened a parachute in the sky, and its irregular body began to rotate during the descent.

The sensor at the bottom of the bomb scans the ground while rotating, and once it finds a tank within its killing range, it will explode the bomb body, and the shaped charge will forge a high-speed metal projectile, which can penetrate the tank's weak body at a height of [-] meters. Top armor.

For a tank, it is very humiliating to die under the bullet of Min Min.No matter how thick its frontal armor is and how powerful its artillery is, the Tianling cover can be tens of millimeters at most, and it can be worn in one hit.

On the battlefield, anyone who dares to deploy tanks densely will be easily hit by terminal bombs.But Qiangdu must concentrate on the use of tanks.

A 'Merkava 3' crossing the river was breaking through the barriers on the bank, and the top cover was blown off by the terminal bomb suddenly.

The gun crew driver holding the binoculars on the opposite side first saw a ball of flames spewing out from the tank turret, and the dazzling light flew more than ten meters high.

A few seconds later, the turret exploded and rolled into the sky.

"Wow... this must be God's punishment for the Jews in Hellfire." The driver exclaimed in a relaxed and happy manner.

The commander's words sounded in the car intercom, "The enemy is in chaos under our attack. Close the hatch quickly, it's time for us to do it."

The driver quickly retracted into the cabin, and the gunner had already aimed the muzzle at a target about 500 meters away—a 'Merkava 3' was aware of the existence of terminal sensitive bombs, and was trying to escape from the drop area and avoid the overhead threat.

This 120-ton steel monster panicked and got stuck on a concrete pier preventing forced crossing.Just when the driver was about to reverse the car, an armor-piercing projectile was fired from the opposite [-]mm muzzle.

In an instant, the sub-caliber armor-piercing projectile with the tungsten alloy warhead hit the turret of the 'Mekava 3', and after bursting into flames, it penetrated its 'plywood' armor.

One shot into the soul.

Chapter 39

Lieutenant Hassan, holding his own 'Galil' assault rifle, was lying on the land on the east bank of the Euphrates River.Flares from mortars streaked across the sky above him, revealing the fast-moving Israeli troops.

Behind the lieutenant, a RAM armored reconnaissance vehicle on fire, and a Chinook smashed to the ground.

Just a few minutes ago, the Israeli army planned to imitate the U.S. military to launch a "super horizon" attack, using helicopters to airdrop a powerful force behind the opponent, causing chaos and opening up the situation.

But facts have proved that what the US military can do, the Israeli military cannot do-the US military can easily deploy hundreds of helicopters to carry out low-altitude assaults, and it can also firmly suppress the opponent's anti-aircraft firepower before the assault.

The Israeli army took pictures of cats and tigers against dogs, but was defeated by Iraqi ground air defense firepower and fled.

"Damn Chinese, how many individual anti-aircraft missiles did they sell to the Iraqis?" Lieutenant Hassan, still in shock, cursed.

Before the operation, the chief patted his chest to guarantee that all the large-scale air defense positions of the Iraqi army had been destroyed, but he could not guarantee to destroy the air defense weapons in the hands of the soldiers.

So the airborne became a disaster. More than a dozen helicopters were shot down and injured, and the rest fled quickly.

After being hit, a 'Chinook' tried to lower its altitude smoothly so that the reconnaissance vehicle hanging under the body could land safely.Its own rotors swept the ground and twisted into a mess.

When Lieutenant Hassan's legs hit the ground, he quickly led his men to release the hoisting cables.A 'Red Arrow-73D' shot from two kilometers away, forcing all the scouts on board to flee.

Cheap anti-tank missiles easily knock out scout vehicles, turning armored scouts into foot scouts.

The lieutenant who landed had his mouth full and cursed the rear artillery as idiots. More than 400 cannons fired the whole day, but they didn't clean up the forced crossing site.

"Lieutenant, sir, let's get together and look for the Iraqi army's command post and artillery positions." The signal soldier with the individual radio on his back shouted.
