Chapter 265: Kurdish Guerrillas
In the early hours of this morning, the multinational forces dispatched more than 400 planes to carry out key air strikes on the three major military towns of Basra, Sumna, and Najaf; after this air strike, the multinational forces basically destroyed the three lines of defense on the Iraqi front, and the multinational forces also detected the Iraqi air force fleeing without a fight.

According to the analysis of military commentators invited by this station, after the two large-scale air raids, Iraq has completely lost its ability to take the initiative to attack, and with the current state of Iraq's army, as long as the multinational forces continue to persist in air raids for about a week, continue to pursue the Iraqi air force, and launch several air raids against the capital Badina and other places, they will be able to win this war very quickly.
It can be seen that under the blow of the US military, which has advanced weapons and the theory of war, it is vulnerable to any so-called military power......
Zhou Ming sat in the car and listened to the news on the radio station broadcasting the news of the American radio, and what was being reported now was the situation of the Gulf War, which was also the news that the whole world was concerned about nowadays.
At this time, Zhou Ming was on his way to the Kurdish settlement in northern Iraq, and the vehicle was a medium bus provided by the embassy, accompanied by Zhang Lin's ten-member heavily armed desert team, as well as a liaison officer from the presidential palace.
Now it is only an hour before he comes out of the presidential palace, after all, Zhou Ming has been preparing for this thing all along, and now that Salm has finally spoken, Zhou Ming must act immediately, and he can't delay for a second.
If the first port of Ode air ambush only knocked out the Iraqi Air Force, then this key air raid on the three major military towns of Basra, Sumner and Najaf completely crushed the entire Iraqi army.
Just now in the presidential palace, Zhou Ming said that he would let Zou Yue and their officer corps go to train the Iraqi guerrillas, but in fact, Zhou Ming did not have any hope for the so-called elite soldiers of the Iraqi army who have survived now, after all, in Zhou Ming's memory, Salm's army was formed after two air raids, and surrendered to the US army without a fight.
Now, looking at the whole of Iraq, if there is any army that is still combat-ready, it is the Kurdish autonomous armed forces in the northern mountains.
The Kurds are a very brave and warlike people, because of their special national character and their own beliefs, they are determined to be warriors both men and women, which is very rare in the whole Arab region, and more importantly, they are fanatical religious believers, and their beliefs support them to fight to the death, and their characteristics determine that they are the best dead soldiers.
If we want to help Iraq, which has reached the point of no defeat, to continue this war, it is necessary to have the support of the Kurds, especially now that Salm's army is completely useless.
Along Iraq's northern highway, Zhou Ming's car finally arrived in Sumor, the central city of the Kurdish settlement, after six hours.
It is the largest city in northern Iraq and the last city that the Salm regime has ever held in Kurd-populated areas, with thousands of Kurdish villages hidden in the mountains to the north and east.
Zhou Ming and the others found Mayor Sumor, and when the mayor learned that Zhou Ming and they were actually going to negotiate with the Kurds, his eyes immediately widened in shock: "Distinguished Chinese guests, I praise you for your courage, but I am not in favor of you going to the Kurds, because those Kurds are very barbaric, they have long created violence to incite ethnic antagonism, and they often kidnap and kill foreigners in the settlement, which is very dangerous!"
After speaking, the mayor added: "Especially recently, those Kurds are very restless, and they will always arrest some reporters or ordinary people to demonstrate to Mr. President, I am thinking about you for Mr. Zhou Ming."
Zhou Ming was not surprised by this, she smiled helplessly and said: "Thank you Mr. Mayor for your concern, but I still have to go, if Mr. Mayor is really worried, you can send someone to protect me." ”
The mayor couldn't help Zhou Ming's insistence, and in the end he could only let Zhou Ming go, but in order to ensure Zhou Ming's safety, the mayor not only arranged a guide for Zhou Ming according to Salm's orders, but also specially arranged for his three cars full of bodyguards to follow Zhou Ming to continue eastward.
"I hope that Mr. Zhou Ming can return victoriously, it must be the greatest miracle!" the mayor finally said to Zhou Ming.
In fact, it is normal for the mayor to be so worried, because when it comes to this Kurdish autonomous army, they are actually a hostile force of the Salm regime.
As an ancient people in West Asia with a history of thousands of years, the Kurds have never had a real sense of their own country in these thousands of years, so they have a very strong desire for independence, which is absolutely not allowed by the Salm, and in this way, countless wars broke out between them, and even the army of the Salm has slaughtered villages in the Kurdish settlement.
Under such a premise, these Kurds are naturally very dangerous for the Salm regime.
Zhou Ming was thinking about the information about the Kurds in his mind, and at the same time said helplessly in his heart: If there is any other way, I don't want to do such a dangerous thing!
Under the light of the setting sun, Zhou Ming's convoy slowly drove towards the center of the Kurdish ghetto, which, according to information, was a city controlled by Kurdish forces called Mahad, which was also the seat of the Kurdish chieftain.
When Zhou Ming's convoy drove halfway to the Daye Highway, Zhang Lin suddenly shouted to stop, and at the same time he quickly ran to the front and stepped on the brakes.
After a sudden braking, Zhou Ming's car had not yet stopped, and Zhou Ming saw that halfway up the mountainside not far away, a rocket with a long tail flew straight over, and smashed on the car leading the way in front, only to hear a huge explosion, and the car was directly overturned on the side of the road. Although Zhou Ming's minibus was specially made bulletproof, it was also shocked by the shock wave generated by the explosion.
For a small convoy like theirs, the Kurdish guerrilla assault squads were sure to eat them all, so after the first blow, two more rockets flew quickly and crashed into the two vehicles behind them.
With the two explosions, the two cars became two burning fireballs on the side of the road, and the bodyguards in the cars had no chance to escape.
"Oh my God! Those Kurds are indeed demons living in the mountains, and they are going to kill again! My all-powerful Allah, please quickly lead your people to destroy these demons!"
The guide from Sumore was frightened by the attack and immediately knelt in the car and began to cry bitterly.
Compared with this guide, Zhang Lin and the other special forces were much calmer, Zhang Lin first arranged Zhou Ming in the middle of the car, and then the ten of them quickly set up a defensive formation on the car.
Since they didn't know how many Kurdish militants were in ambush, whether there were mines around, and what the other party's purpose was, Rao was an elite like Zhang Lin and they didn't dare to get out of the car easily, so they could only carefully open the car window, poke out the muzzle of the gun and aim around.
But when they made preparations for defense, those enemies seemed to have disappeared again, and there was no movement for ten minutes and twenty minutes, if it weren't for the three cars in front and behind were still blazing with flames, Zhou Ming really suspected that it was his own delusion.
Half disappeared, and the Kurdish militants who were ambushed in the mountains still did not move, Zhang Lin said to Zhou Ming after observing the surrounding environment: "Maybe it is because the identity of our embassy car makes them hesitate, so they are ready to wait until the night to come up and capture us alive, Mr. Zhou Ming, we can choose to turn around and escape as fast as possible, I am confident in my driving skills." ”
Zhou Ming glanced at the continuous mountains around him, then shook his head and said: "It's still not necessary, Zhang Lin, you also said that they want to capture us alive, which means that our lives will not be in danger, but if we want to run, maybe they will launch rockets, then we will wait for them here." ”
Time passed minute by minute, and soon night fell, everything was just as Zhang Lin guessed, as the sun disappeared below the horizon, with the last bit of light, Zhou Ming could see a dark figure coming down from the mountain and cautiously surrounding Zhou Ming's minibus.
"There are actually twenty people, it seems that the ambush of us is a large guerrilla force, and these twenty people are only the vanguard of the road to explore, and there are many more people who continue to lie in ambush behind to observe the situation, very cautious. ”
Zhang Lin observed the surrounding situation and commented with interest, although his face was serious, his tone did not have the slightest tension of being surrounded by enemies. It is conceivable that if he really wants to make a move, he is fully confident that he will lead his desert team to break out of this encirclement, and even after getting familiar with the terrain, they will have a chance to completely annihilate each other, this is the strong self-confidence from the Huaxia Soldier King.
It's just that they didn't come to provoke a war, so under Zhou Ming's order, they didn't take any action and let the other party approach the side of the minibus.
And when they came to the side of the bus, Zhou Ming suddenly opened the door, and then he and Zhang Lin walked out of the car with the guide, and in the face of this sudden situation, those Kurdish militants were frightened and hurriedly raised their guns.
Zhou Ming raised his hands very cooperatively, and shouted in English at the same time: "Don't be nervous, there are only three of us, and we don't have any weapons, we don't have any malicious intentions, we are from the Huaxia Embassy, do you have a leader? I need to talk to your leader!"
While shouting Zhou Ming, he patted the guide next to him, and the guide repeated it in Kud, although the guide was a little trembling because of fear, but he finally made his words clear.
The Kurdish militants over there listened to the guide's translation, obviously feeling a little surprised and overwhelmed, because the people they had abducted in the past were either desperately resisting or crying and begging for mercy, how could they meet Zhou Ming like this?
Faced with such a situation, Zhou Ming asked the guide to shout over there: "I know you can't make a decision, so please ask your leader to come out!"
After this sentence was shouted, Zhang Lin told Zhou Ming that a few people had left, and that was to go back to report the situation.
So after another twenty minutes or so, about fifty or sixty people came around, obviously the leader of this guerrilla force came, and this leader was obviously much bolder than those cautious "vanguard death squads", and came directly in front of Zhou Ming and them.
The Kurdish militants were similar to the images they had seen on television in their previous lives, dressed in standard Gulf attire, dressed in loose-fitting khaki clothes, with turbans around their heads and only a pair of eyes.
The leader came to Zhou Ming, looked Zhou Ming up and down a few times, and said, "Okay, Huaxia, I am the leader of this guerrilla army, if you have anything to say, please tell me." ”
Hearing the other party's voice, Zhou Ming was stunned for a moment, because it was actually a woman.
