1451 Baghdad Eagles, Attack!

"As soon as planned, be ready to respond!" Powell saw the document sent by the Ministry of Defense, and the president had signed on their combat plan.

"At this time, should we take this opportunity to drag all the wreckage of the fighter plane back?" Schwartzkopf said with a frown.

Since ground war has begun and a large number of troops must be invested, it is absolutely impossible not to snatch the wreckage of the fighter plane back.

"Save our soldiers first! If you have the chance, let our artillery launch a saturated shelling attack on that area!" Powell's brow was tightly locked.

For him, it is more important to have no soldiers in the wreckage of fighter jets.

With the command of the headquarters, the originally quiet military camps suddenly became busy.

The only US airborne army, the 2nd Brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division under the 18th Army, the 325th Parachute Infantry Regiment, and the field artillery directly under the division. The 319th Airborne Field Artillery Regiment has been ready for a long time. All soldiers are on standby at the airport, and all the equipment is also in the surrounding major airports.

The United States mobilized a large number of transport aircraft. If they want to gain a war advantage, they must quickly airborne a large number of troops.

An infantry regiment and a field artillery regiment are not too many.

The second airdrop wave, the remaining first and third brigades, began to mobilize.

Once needed, you can only land on the battlefield within two hours.

"Let intelligence personnel in that area set up ground landing signs, and the air forces are on standby at any time to prepare for fire support. Order the navy tomahawk missiles are ready for support at any time. Air reconnaissance aircraft and satellites must continuously monitor this area and the surrounding areas. Once Iraqi troops appear, long-range strikes and air bombing will be carried out!"

The command from the headquarters kept coming out.

Dozens of large military transport aircraft took off from various Saudi airports and then joined over the Saudi-Iraq border. The huge formation, protected by even larger escort fighter jets, headed towards Iraq's abdomen.

On the small town in the central area of ​​the Iraq-Saudi border, hundreds of tanks from the 24th Mechanical Division suddenly began to roar and rushed into Iraq along the highway.

More armored vehicles also followed and rushed into the interior of Iraq.

All this not only allowed the satellites in the sky to see clearly, but even the Iraqi people who were guarding some hills on the road were so scared that they were about to wet their pants.

Some small trees on the mountain bag were knocked down...

"The Americans dispatched hundreds of tanks?" Facing this situation, Hashem was a little unacceptable. "Shouldn't they send parachute troops?"

"In this area, their planes cannot enter. And these tank troops are dispatched just to maintain the retreat passage of the troops they come in!" Liu Suxue said coldly when he saw the photo, "Order our artillery in the Abu Amer area to evacuate the anti-aircraft guns, and the field artillery artillery positions will advance 3 kilometers. Within two hours, their airborne troops will appear!"

Hashem did not blame Liu Suxue for overcoming authority at all.

He is the commander-in-chief.

Of course, under such circumstances, the adviser they found by the president seemed to be more competent in such a command position than him.

"Their tank troops come over, our Dragon Guard is still on the Iranian border..."

"Then mobilize some back. The Americans bring these equipment. We will feel sorry for them if we don't eat some!" Not to mention Liu Suxue, even Saddam, who had just heard the news, was preparing to keep the United States troops that penetrated their territory.

If the heavy American unit is destroyed, the morale of the entire Iraqi army will be the Dalikong Pill.

"Now the Dragon Guards on the border are rushing back, it's too late. The Dragon Guards who are ambushing in the Karbala area can intercept their armored forces. If the 24th Mechanical Infantry Division wants to reinforce the front area, they must pass through Karbala."

Hashem points to a location on the map.

Everyone's eyes were attracted to this area.

In central Iraq, it is a transportation hub.

During the first day of bombing, many areas of the city were paralyzed by the bombing.

"How many troops do we have in the surrounding area?" Saddam asked.

The US airborne troops obviously want to land near the Abu Amer area, and their armored troops must enter this area if they want to open up the passage and go north to support.

The 24th U.S. Army's 24th Mechanical Infantry Division entering Karbala through Route 22 will mobilize most of the entire Iraqi army.

"Perhaps, they are just trying to take advantage of this opportunity to mobilize the hidden troops!" Liu Suxue's eyes flashed and pointed at the road on the map and said, "Entering Karbala through Highway 22 is not their only road. They can go north in our western town Nuhaib, where there is Highway 11 or Highway 1, and then continue to go south..."

The entire command center was silent immediately.

If so, it would not be so easy for the Iraqi army to surround the 24th Mechanical Division.

At the same time, this will expose all the troops they hide in the dark.

Either let them open the passage and rescue the troops in the Abu Amer area, or expose most of the hidden forces.

Otherwise, they would not have thought of eating this army that broke into the heart of Iraq.

In the western region, this is a weak area for Iraqi military defense.

Most of the troops are pursuing the US and coalition forces, and many are ambushed in the desert.

Once it comes out at this time, it will obviously be hidden and will have no effect and will be bombed by US air forces.

Therefore, the previous plan was also disrupted.

Iraq has never thought that Captain America would come in like this blatantly, especially the ground heavy troops.

Liu Suxue studied the US military very deeply and planned to work with the Iraqi General Staff that the US military used its huge air transport capabilities to transport their airborne troops into this area. However, they did not expect that they actually sent the 24th Mass Infantry Division.

All are M1A2 tanks, which are much more advanced than Dragon Guards.

"We only have one border battalion in Nuhaib and do not have any heavy equipment yet, so basically don't expect it..." Hashem sighed.

"Our troops are not in a hurry to move, wait to see if they go north and then go south or directly attack our Karbala." Liu Suxue was also speechless.

The US Command made such a move, obviously to lure Iraq's army.

The other party is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"How many graphite bombs do we have in this area?" Saddam asked suddenly. "If we cover this area with graphite dust!"

Hasim and others were lit up when they heard this.

If the entire area can be covered with graphite dust, the advanced equipment of the US military will not play a role. In this way, the Iraqi forces can use long-range firepower to attack each other.

"We have too big gaps in air forces, but we have enough advantages in long-range support for firepower. Rocket launchers with a range of 120 kilometers, ground-to-ground missiles with a range of 300 kilometers, and even our artillery troops can play a huge role. Their tanks can only be outside the graphite dust area, and even the distance between our graphite bombs, they have to retreat..."

"No, we need to wait for them to come in and then greet them with graphite bombs. Let the Air Force be prepared. All ground attack aircraft and bombers are hung with graphite dust bombs!" Hashem licked his lips.

For them, graphite bombs are too useful.

"I think we should take this opportunity to send our air force troops to use cluster bombs to strike their armored forces!" Liu Suxue suddenly said. "The air is moist now, and there is not much graphite dust in the air. Our air force should be dispatched once, otherwise it will be difficult to find an opportunity to perform..."

Since the situation of the war has changed, let's experiment with these weapons as soon as possible.

So far, US bombers have not achieved much effect on ordinary armored forces in Iraq.

The cluster bomb has not been used yet. At this time, if the Iraqi Air Force uses cluster bombs, it may establish a magical skill like a graphite bomb, completely disrupting the layout of both sides.

In this way, everything is much easier to operate.

"Now there is still a large amount of dust floating in the air in our Baghdad airspace..." Hashem kept jumping.

This is really a bit embarrassing.

"That's just in the southwest region, not in the northeast region. Mobilize fighter jets from there! Send J-11 formations to escort, and other ground fighters and bombers load cluster bombs..." Saddam admired this plan very much.

After being beaten for a day, the Americans did not have the courage to bomb Baghdad at night.

The sky above Baghdad was actually covered by black smoke. The thick smoke from oil was rising to prevent American reconnaissance aircraft and satellites.

Baghdad concentrated a large number of advanced equipment and elite troops to defend, and was always passively beaten, which was completely inconsistent with the style of the world's third largest military power.

"That's it, send our Air Force to let the Americans taste the taste of being bombed..." Saddam made the decision.

The president's decision is supreme.
