Chapter 093: Three Trump Cards

News of the stalemate between the coalition forces and the Prophet Army in Lutbai spread throughout the world in an instant. Three hundred thousand troops were assembled. Seven countries directly participated in the war. Not only did they lose the first battle in the air, they also stagnated on land. There were military Experts immediately changed their initially optimistic attitude and began to worry about the coalition forces. Net

The military alliance between Russia, New Iraq, and Iran is already known to the world. However, Russia and Iran have not directly participated in the war. However, the two countries have been supporting New Iraq's military operations, and Russia has formed an alliance with New Iraq. The fleet blocked the entire Persian Gulf, forcing the US military to take a detour to attack.

Although Iran's support is small, their role in the Persian Gulf is no worse than that of the Russians. At the same time, Iran is also providing Afghanistan with all the oil that France would normally produce during the war. These two oil giants, plus one The iron triangle formed by the established military powers completely trapped the coalition forces in Iraq.

Everyone knows that modern wars are all about the economy and financial resources. The United States is already economically weak, and domestic anti-war sentiment is rising. If it continues to fight, it will be a heavy burden for the United States, and it may even repeat the situation in Vietnam. The consequences of war.

Fighting for more than ten years will only cause the U.S. economy to completely collapse.[

Sitting in the headquarters, Simon was not anxious at all. The Americans should be anxious now. He did not put all the troops in his hands at once. What he could still use was the 100,000 people from the Southeast Military Region, but Simon did not In doing so, he knew very well that defeating the United States in an instant would not achieve the goal he wanted to achieve.

Therefore, his troops were pressed up little by little. Although Lutbai fought fiercely, the number of casualties on both sides exceeded 150,000, and the Prophet Army lost as many as 50,000 troops, and the remaining The losses of the coalition forces.

The day Lutbai persists, the greater the consumption of the NATO coalition forces will be. Just like the strategy formulated by the Snow Leopards, they compete with the coalition forces building by building and alley in the city. During the day, the coalition forces attack, and at night it becomes the counterattack of the Prophet Army. After fighting for a full two weeks, the only result of the coalition forces was to occupy half of the city of Rutbai, while the Prophet's Army occupied the other half of the city. Both armies were holding on.

At this time, in the coalition headquarters, George's face had become extremely depressed. His strategic purpose had not been achieved. If he continued to fight, he might suffer heavy losses. Now his only hope is that the Saudi army can defeat it. The Southwest Army of the Prophet, from south to north, completely blocked Lutbai, so that they could win the final victory.

It is a pity that there is now a voice in the coalition command headquarters that continues to insist on calling for an immediate withdrawal of troops. Among them, the loudest voice is General McCain. The Israeli army led by him suffered heavy losses when attacking Lutbai, but His record is the highest in the entire coalition.

But McCain is unwilling to continue the fight, because he knows very well that if he continues to fight, he must invest troops again, and now Israel already has 60,000 people here. After they invest, they are surrounded by enemies on all sides. Whether Israel can defend its homeland is a question.

And he was also deeply aware that the commander-in-chief of the Prophet Army seemed to be luring them step by step into the battlefield of Rutbai. Syria was already ready to move. Once the Syrian army crossed the border and rushed to aid the Prophet Army, the remaining two soldiers of the entire coalition army would One hundred thousand people will be trapped in Iraq.

But George, a war madman, had lost his mind. Although he suspended the attack, he did not issue an order to retreat.

So McCain could only issue an order to preserve as much strength as possible and only defend and not attack. However, after this order was issued, George was greatly annoyed. The Americans were now at the forefront, including Israel and Jordan. Troops from many countries followed behind. After the Americans went to die, the Israeli army seemed to be another Jordan leading the escape.

This stalemate lasted for about a month, with heavy casualties on both sides. They had figured out how to defend and attack in this city.

On the first day of the month, the coalition got good news. The United States will once again increase its troops in Iraq, and this time there will be 100,000 troops. This is the result of George's maneuvering in Congress. In his words, the United States People can lose the battle, but they will never take the initiative to retreat.

His speech impressed many members of the U.S. Congress. In any case, the final vote was not passed. However, President Theodore used his veto power to veto Congress's order to reject the increase in troops and support George's next move.

This news boosted the morale of the coalition forces, and this time the US military reinforcements were almost all elites, including the US 1st Cavalry Division and the 1st Infantry Division, which are as famous as the US 1st Armored Division.

Both of these heavy armored divisions have a strength of nearly 30,000 people. The First Cavalry Division includes 4 heavy brigade combat teams and 1 aviation brigade. This force is the ace force of the US military and was established in 1921.

He has participated in World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War and the Iraq War, and is currently stationed at Fort Hood, Texas.

The division originally came from the U.S. Dragoon Regiment established in 1833. It used to be a cavalry and was later changed to the Army, but the designation has not changed. Although the unit has no horses, there is still a horse head symbol on the soldier's brochure, which means Cavalry Division 1. He is very famous in the US military and rarely suffers defeat. The biggest defeat was during the Korean War, when he was defeated by the 39th Army of the Chinese Volunteer Army.

A famous American military writer once described the First Cavalry Division like this: "When they cross in front of you, the masculine wind and tiger anger rising in the dust rush to your face, as if they only need to use their neat and upright posture to tell You and the others are a mighty force made of steel, an ace division, a traditional ace combat unit well-known in the U.S. military. Their history can bring our thoughts back to the era of knights who were at war and in the saddle..."

The 1st Infantry Division is also the ace unit of the US military. This unit includes two heavy brigade combat teams and an aviation brigade. Compared with the 1st Cavalry Division, this unit is more prestigious.

When it was first formed, this unit was called the 1st Expeditionary Division, nicknamed the Big Red Division. Now its full name is the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division. Its organization is very similar to the 1st Armored Division led by Taylor. , but this division has a long history.[

In World War I, it was the first to engage in firefights with the enemy, the first to suffer casualties, the first to capture prisoners, and the first to invade France; in World War II, it was the first to arrive at The British were the first to land in North Africa, Sicily and France, and the first to break through the Siegfried Line in western Germany.

He also fought against Simon on the battlefield in Iraq. In the ground battle of the Gulf War, the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division advanced a total of 260 kilometers, destroyed 550 Iraqi tanks, 480 armored personnel carriers, and captured Iraqi soldiers.

1.14 million people, but only 18 of them died, and only 5 tanks and 5 infantry fighting vehicles each were lost.

So Simon still remembers the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division, but the U.S. military's third trump card this time has a greater history, because he is a force composed entirely of special forces, with a total number of more than 10,000, including

The famous 75th Ranger Regiment, Delta Force, Green Berets, and the mysterious 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment.

This unit was specially formed by George after he suffered so much at the request of the Special Operations Command. Although the number and organization were still temporarily in place, they were directly under George's command.

The three trump cards were mobilized at the same time, causing public opinion around the world to be in an uproar. The United States was going to do its best.

Someone suddenly thought of the original 1st Armored Division. If Taylor had had enough supplies at that time and not worked so hard, maybe we would be in the current situation. The 1st Armored Division could have defeated the entire Prophet Army, but it was a pity that the people were not as good as it was.

By God's will, the disastrous defeat of the 1st Armored Division completely broke the United States' control over Iraq and established such a formidable enemy for itself.

Some people lamented that if the 1st Armored Division existed, then together with the 1st Cavalry Division and the 1st Infantry Division to form the three strongest echelons of the U.S. Army, how long could the Prophet Army be able to sustain it?

But even with the First Armored Division, the other two No. 1s, and the U.S. military's special forces, it created a situation where the enemy was overwhelmed.

Under this name, some people suddenly felt that the Prophet Army had become vulnerable again.

In fact, after learning the news, Simon also turned pale. His policy of luring the enemy finally succeeded, but the Prophet Army is about to face a tough battle, whether it is the 1st Cavalry Division or the 1st Mechanized Division.

The infantry division, as well as the collection of special forces behind it, are very difficult to deal with.

It can be said that if we want to talk about the quality of all members, any unit of the Prophet Army can compare with any of the three American units, not even the Northeastern Army. This is not because Simon underestimates his own unit.

It's because that's the truth.

Moreover, in addition to the army, the U.S. Navy also dispatched two other aircraft carrier battle groups. The lost aircraft were already being repaired or mass-produced. This superpower finally revealed its true trump card, but it also

Tell the world that they will not give up until they take over the new Iraq.

But what does Simon have? The final trump card is the 100,000 people of the Southeast Army, which also includes the occupying army in Khuzestan. The Northeast Army has already had 50,000 people participating, and the other 50,000 people are holding Turkey back, while the Central Committee

The garrison cannot be moved even if killed, because it has to defend the capital Basra.

After scanning the major military regions, the only one that can be used in the end is the Southwest Army. As long as the Saudi army is defeated, the Southwest Army can participate in this battle.

However, before that, Simon had to order the Southwest Army to stop the attack, because he wanted to complete the strategic encirclement. Only after the three trump cards of the U.S. Army were invested in Rutbai, could the Southwest Army defeat Saudi Arabia and cut off the three trump cards in the detour.

The retreat route completely blocked the U.S. military in Iraq.
