For an hour, the Iraqis made no progress and were stuck at a distance of 80 meters. They were in a dilemma and hid in a limited bunker to survive.
About two thousand Iraqi government troops, guerrillas, and militiamen have gathered one after another. In addition to the approximately four to five thousand people who came before, most of them have been damaged. Under the three-dimensional attack of the U.S. military's modern weapons, these remaining Iraqi troops
There was only one breath left, and more than half were killed or injured.
The U.S. military's bombing continues, and U.S. bombers are constantly whizzing past in the sky. Air-to-ground missiles and aerial bombs are falling from the sky. Even the Iraqis in front of these U.S. troops no longer have much resistance.
, but these Americans still did not launch a charge.
Bombs plowed the Iraqi positions non-stop. For the Americans, the most important thing they could not afford to lose was people, not weapons and ammunition.
Yu Yang lay on the ground and kept pulling the trigger. Li Tude had already sent Charlie to a safe place for treatment. Now he turned into a full-time porter, constantly pressing the bullets for Yu Yang, and then gave the loaded magazine to
Yu Yang, if there is a gap, help Yu Yang find more valuable targets on the battlefield, such as machine gunners or commanders, without firing a single shot during the whole process.
Yu Yang's kill count has reached 200 people. In this hour, what Yu Yang has done repeatedly is to shoot, shoot, reload, and shoot. Since the US military is firing non-stop at every window, these
The Iraqis didn't even notice the gunfire from Yu Yang, who was among the group of people, and Yu Yang was frantically harvesting lives continuously.
The Iraqis retreated, and two tanks appeared in the rear. After randomly firing two shots at the building, they quickly retreated. With the cover of the tanks, the remaining Iraqis finally had a chance to retreat.
The Iraqi attack looked more like a joke. The result was that more than a dozen American soldiers were injured, several holes were blown into the building, some ammunition was wasted, and corpses were left on the ground.
Results.
Watching the Iraqis retreat, Yu Yang directly threw the M24 aside, picked up his rifle, and started shooting wildly at the retreating Iraqis. One magazine was emptied within five seconds, so he immediately replaced the ammunition.
magazine, and then continued firing. Within a minute, Yu Yang emptied four magazines.
It wasn't until no trace of the Iraqis could be seen that Yu Yang let out a long sigh of relief, sat down on the ground, took out a cigarette with trembling hands, and started to smoke it slowly. His hands were shaking not because of fear, but because of fear.
It's because I'm too tired. Fighting is a physical job.
The mission is very simple, at least so far Yu Yang thinks it is very simple. He has killed 240 Iraqis, and the fraction has almost caught up with the total number of kills of the remaining 39 people. This three-star mission looks like
It seems a bit unworthy of its name, but at least it is much simpler than Stalingrad.
However, Yu Yang knew that the most difficult part of this mission was not to kill the Iraqis. The combat effectiveness of the Iraqis could actually be seen from the US military casualties in the overall Iraq war. From March 20, 2003, from 5:30 a.m. in Iraq to
On April 15, 2003, the Americans announced that major military operations had ended.
The total number of U.S. military deaths was 262, of which 139 were killed in action, 123 died in accidents, and 33 British soldiers died. The war cost the United States 23 billion U.S. dollars, and Iraq had a total of 450,000 army troops and 650,000 reserve forces. After the war began
It almost disappeared. After the war, a rough estimate of the death toll in Iraq was about 10,000, and the disappearance is unknown.
Asymmetric warfare was vividly demonstrated in this war. It was not the Iraqi army that caused the greatest casualties to the US military, but various accidents, some of which were due to problems with new weapons, and several unlucky soldiers among them.
He died of tetanus, and the casualties caused by a few nails to the US military were much greater than those to the Iraqi army.
Killing Iraqi government troops, guerrillas, etc. is not difficult. The most difficult part of the entire mission is competitive survival. The intrigue among the forty hosts is the most difficult. Only three of the forty people can survive. Force the hosts to fight against each other.
Killing each other is the hardest part of the whole task.
But from now on, this mission should only have one star for Yu Yang, because the other hosts are locked up in military camps outside the city and cannot enter the city.
On the outskirts of Tikrit, in the headquarters of the U.S. Army's C Battalion, a company of soldiers was left in the military camp outside the city. Artillery fire was raging in the city, but it was surprisingly quiet here. The U.S. military camp's security was very lax. The American soldiers standing guard were hiding.
Napping in the corner.
The Iraqis are not brave enough to attack the US military camp. The few American main battle tanks at the gate are enough to scare the Iraqis.
In the military camp, several white men were shouting at John in the headquarters: "Sir, why don't you let us enter the city? Our mission is to clear out the Iraqi armed personnel in the city!"
John sat on the chair and looked up at them: "Huh? You don't need to take action for the time being. Your current task is to wait for us to deal with the defenders in the city, then go in and eliminate the remaining enemies. We are currently exchanging fire with the Iraqi government forces.
, you are not needed at the moment, after we deal with the Iraqi defenders in the city, it will not be too late for you to go in again!"
"Excuse me, sir, how long will it take you to deal with the Iraqi defenders?" The white people suppressed their anger. After all, people are bound to be stronger. All their weapons were handed over to John's men. They were using their bare hands. A group of American soldiers were standing next to them.
Watching them with eager eyes.
"I don't know. Maybe it will be cleared tomorrow. It may take three days, maybe a week. God only knows what will happen in the future. You have to know that Iraq has millions of troops. In front of us is the birthplace of Saddam Hussein. Here is
The Iraqis are very tenacious. Well, more than a dozen brave soldiers have been injured. I am doing this for your own good!" After John finished speaking, he stopped paying attention to these white people and began to deal with the matter at hand.
"But we..." After hearing John's words, the white people immediately became anxious. These white people did not kill many people on the first day. If they could not enter the city, they would definitely be wiped out.
"Guys, you can go back to your barracks now and wait for notification!" John didn't even raise his head. If these people hadn't made a fierce fuss just now, John wouldn't bother to pay attention to them.
"We..." Before the white people could speak, an American soldier stopped in front of them and signaled that they could go out.
"Sir, I think you can consider letting us participate in the battle. I am a retired Ranger and have been in the Army for seven years. I can be of great help to you!"
"Sir, I'm a Marine!"
John looked up and glanced at the soldier who said he had been a Ranger for several years and retired: "You are a retired Ranger. You don't know me? Where have you been a Ranger for how many years?"
The white man was stunned after hearing John's words. Damn it, he only joined the 75th Ranger Regiment after 2005, and it was only 2003. He didn't know how to speak for a while.
"I think I have to investigate your origins carefully. Does the damn Blackwater International really dare to accept anyone now?" After John finished speaking, he waved his hand, and two American soldiers drove away a few white people.
Exited the headquarters.
After seeing several white people being driven out of the headquarters, John sneered: "Pete, Galen, you two, go and watch outside their barracks. Be careful, don't let them cause any trouble!"
"Yes, sir!" After hearing this, the two white soldiers stood up and saluted a military salute, looked at each other, and walked helplessly toward the distant barracks. No one wanted to do such a thankless job.
