Jamal's confession only sheds a small veil on the final period of the Gulf War. However, because the effectiveness of a large number of advanced weapons of the US military in World War I was seriously not as expected, the specific operational details of the war were sealed up by the US military on the grounds of military secrets. All we know today is some of the battles that were widely circulated among the former Iraqi government forces. After meticulous removal of the false and the preservation of the true, we can get a glimpse of what kind of combat effectiveness the US military has, abandoning the pursuit of a low casualty rate.

"O one and most sovereign Lord, will I be abandoned by you, if I am abandoned by you, my people, will they survive? My country, will she have a future? If my death can bring this, then ......"

The gravel deserts of the Middle East can transmit ground tremors far away, and when tanks, armoured vehicles and Humvee convoys pass by, the sand and gravel on the ground will jump regularly.

Abdullah's consciousness was passing rapidly, and his body was gradually losing its body temperature, but he couldn't feel it in his heart, and just tried to lift his head. Even though the diffuse jet of metal pierced his abdomen, he miraculously crawled for a while—facing the direction of the Holy Land.

Looking up, he looked at the setting sun and the pillars of smoke rising in the sky like a forest. The dying prayer did not allow a miracle to happen, and all that answered him was the constant sound of the earth, as if it were an endless tremor.

"Well, hopefully I've done my part. ”

If Abdullah hadn't been paralyzed by extreme blood loss and excessive adrenaline and serotonin at the end of his life, he would probably have heard a soft, but thunderous sigh.

"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do. ”

It doesn't matter, your powerlessness, humanity has long been used to it.

Abdullah is the absolute elite of the Iraqi army, a regimental commander of the Republican Guard. His unit is said to have been built on the basis of the composite unit of the Chinese who came to help build it.

This is a synthetic force, experimental in nature. However, Saddam Hussein devoted a lot of effort to this aspect, hoping that he could become a model and exploration for the Iraqi army to adapt to the Chinese command system.

Although it is only one regiment on the surface, it is equipped with its own artillery and air defense units, has the ability to directly command the air force to support it, and has all the auxiliary arms that can enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops.

For example, under Abdullah, there are two fully mechanized infantry battalions and a tank battalion acting as armor spearheads, as well as the Shilka River and Sam 8 air defense units. Abdullah received a complete Soviet military education and also read a lot of materials from Chinese instructors. With his own combat experience in the Iran-Iraq war, he summed up a set of experience in the use of armored units. During the domestic exercises, he defeated one of the opposing brigades with his own regiment alone, and surrounded and ate the brigade headquarters, for which he was personally received and commended by Saddam. So this time in the face of the frontal attack of the US army, he firmly believed that he could do a good job.

In order to prepare for the air raids of the American army, he meticulously dug camouflage pits for each tank and armored vehicle, erected camouflage nets, and arranged several false targets.

At the front of the position, there was a long-shattered manor, which had long since been destroyed by American air strikes - but the cellar was still usable, and the grape trellis was still a camouflage, and he arranged a mechanized company there. But the situation was still very bad, and in the early hours of the morning, a sharp roar was heard over his head, and soon after, the air command could no longer be called.

Abdullah finds solace in his expertise, perhaps just interference by U.S. electronic warfare aircraft. Although the call is different from the air force command, this does not mean that the Iraqi air force has suffered defeat. Perhaps, later, when the U.S. Army's Weasel unit is expelled by air superiority fighters, he will regain air support.

Unfortunately, his judgment did not last long. At the time of this sharp roar, the SAM anti-aircraft missiles of his friendly troops rose in the night, and achieved a success, but soon, more violent explosions enveloped his friendly troops, and after almost a night's explosion, the positions of the friendly troops were completely gone. That's right, it's all gone. The rolling thunder smoothed out the town, and in the infrared night vision devices, the area was still glowing with heat during the day.

And during the whole process, Abdullah did not wait for even a single Iraqi air force warplane.

If he had lived to hear Jamal's confession five years later, he would have known that the Iraqi Air Force was probably already surrendering to Syria at this time.

Although he did not wait for air support, Abdullah was ready for any situation on the battlefield. He began to be glad that he had not let his air defense company's "Shilka River" open fire, and that his composite regiment was worth more than just a few US planes.

Realizing the loss of air supremacy, Abdullah understood that the opportunity to take the initiative to attack was gone. At present, when there is no anti-aircraft defense capability - without air support, the air defense radar does not dare to turn on, and the firing of anti-aircraft weapons will expose the deployment of the entire composite regiment. Therefore, if the armored units with large operational characteristics are allowed to attack on their own initiative, they will suffer the same fate as their allies. The battlefield had always been so cruel that Abdullah could only watch coldly as his allies were reduced to ashes in the bombardment, but remained unmoved.

Now there is only one way to make your regiment work. He decided to complete his defense mission according to the method he saw from the Chinese textbook.

"If you can approach the enemy with sufficient troops, relatively covertly, and successfully enter a state of close and chaotic combat with the enemy, you can make the enemy's air superiority impossible to play. ”

It is said that it was with this experience that the Chinese defeated the powerful United Nations forces on the frontal battlefield in Korea. I hope that my troops can also have such a good performance, we are not afraid of sacrifice, but we are worried about the worthlessness of sacrifice.

Abdullah's luck was very good, and his disguise was almost impeccable. The U.S. attack planes destroyed the inflatable model that had been prepared so long ago that it did not hurt his troops in the slightest, and even he evaded a cavalry squadron reconnaissance armored vehicle reconnaissance, and his fighters perfectly fulfilled the mission he had given them, and they were forced to let them go by the urge to destroy the two infantry fighting vehicles.

In the early morning of the next day, the continuous sound of artillery moved from his front to his flank, perhaps the American troops ignored this place, or the American troops thought that the defenders here had fled, anyway, it seemed that they had entered the flank and rear of the American attack spearhead. This seemed to be a good sign, and Abdullah couldn't even believe that he had actually managed the difficult tactical task of hiding under the noses of the American military.

It's just that he originally wanted to wait a little longer, the main force of the US army on the front line has not passed too long, and his unit may be blocked by the returning US heavy troops after launching an attack. If we can use our own armored forces to attack the weak supply bases, artillery, air defense nodes, and other important but weak units in land warfare, we will achieve greater results and will be more advantageous to preserve ourselves.

However, at 8 o'clock in the morning, his forward reconnaissance platoon sent information about the enemy's attack, and then the communication channel was covered by violent gunfire and artillery sounds, and in the end, it was simply impossible to call it out!

Apdullah instantly realized that there was no point in thinking about striving for greater results or how to save themselves at this time! What they had to do was to let the Americans know that they had to pay the price!

"Launch, we will attack! Quickly! We will rush forward! All units, according to the predetermined line, will attack!"

Abdullah did not choose to retreat, and at this time the retreat could only be blown up by the plane. If he can successfully stir up muddy waters in the front line of the US military, he may be able to retract into the protection range of the Air Force, and only then will he have a glimmer of life. Perhaps!

Tankers quickly start their vehicles, and T72 tanks shake dust from camouflage pits, black smoke from the exhaust pipes indicating that their engines are pumping maximum horsepower.

The tanks and the BMP infantry fighting vehicles accompanying them formed an attack formation! The Shilka River and Sam-8 missile vehicles on the periphery also joined the formation, and at first glance, this was almost a perfect Soviet-style assault spearhead! If there was a camera in the sky at this time, the audience would certainly be shocked by the momentum of the steel charge.

Such an assault spearhead appeared in the flank and rear of the defensive line, no matter who it is, even if you are American troops, you have to be bitten off by me!

Perhaps it was a prayer to appear, although the 72 export version was far inferior to the Soviet Union's own goods, but it was still possible to destroy these infantry fighting vehicles, and the well-trained gunners used armor-piercing shells at 1500 meters to penetrate Bradley, who was desperately covering the retreat of the logistics personnel, and continued to move forward after clicking through the entire logistics.

As it turned out, the American GIs were not greedy for life and death, and although their defense was weak, they still caused some problems for Abdullah.

A paralyzed Bradley, in the last moments of its life, took a T72 with a Dow missile, and was then beaten into a sieve by the set fire of the BMP and other T72s. The American soldiers resisted until the last moment, and the battle was quite heroic.

Not in the mood to mourn for his enemies, Abdullah kept urging his troops to continue their assault. They are like the birds without legs, and when they stop, it is the graveyard of their death.

They must cause as much chaos as possible behind the flanks of the American army to buy time for their homeland and also to find opportunities for their own retreat. His regiment soon encountered the second logistics point, but just as Abdullah was preparing to attack, the last thing he wanted to see appeared on the distant horizon, waving rotors!

The transition between attack and defense was so fast, he was still attacking the logistics point of the US army ten minutes ago, and now it seems that he is already holding a position that is completely unsafe.

Sam-8 quickly turned on and fired missiles to shoot down an OH58 helicopter directing targets for Apache. But it was too late, and the Apache helicopter counterattack almost instantly wiped out the exposed Sam-8. Immediately afterwards, the Shilka River, where the fire was fired, was also destroyed, and its only means of air defense disappeared.

"Rush up, rush up, entangle them!" Abdullah shouted hoarsely in the command channel, but he didn't know it.

The only thing he knows is that this is his only chance! Only by getting into a close battle with the US military will the US military's air superiority be neutralized and he will be able to survive.

The tankmen of the T72 braved the rain of fire and rushed towards the sparse formation of the American troops in front, and the BMP also put down the accompanying infantry and attacked together. Abdullah's soldiers were excellent, and they had an almost perfect coordination of infantry. Perhaps the instructors of the Soviet Red Army would have looked serious but satisfied when they saw their performance.

But it didn't work, and before Abdullah could see the hope of being caught in the grudge, the roar in the air came again. After the Apache, which finished the ammunition, left, it was the American F18 that came. Instead of targeting the charging tanks in the arrow section, they built a wall of fire behind them with bombs.

This wall of fire inflicted heavy losses on the accompanying BMPs and infantry, and then the forward tanks were attacked by air-launched anti-tank missiles flying from a distance, and one by one they took to the sky - it was clear that it was not only the planes above them that were entering the attack position. The U.S. military's air superiority is so great that they can allocate strike fire from the air to almost every Iraqi tank.

The last few hundred meters became an insurmountable barrier. Such scenery is not unfamiliar to the US military, they have appeared in North Korea, and they have also appeared in the Annam battlefield, and they are a battlefield environment that the US military is accustomed to.

It has been described and referred to a lot, and in North Korea it is "Van Triek Ammunition". In the Annam War, it was the final scene in "We Were Warriors" that shattered the wall of fire that shattered the hope of victory for the Annam army. In this war, the US military has even stopped talking about it.

"Commander, retreat!" Apdullah's battalion commander cried over the radio and shouted to him in despair: "Our tanks are all gone!

"No!" replied in an almost growling voice, "Retreat is a live target at this time!"

"Isn't it now!"

This question was not answered, because the battalion commander's voice had stopped abruptly.

Directly in front of the attack formation, a tank with a whip antenna burst into flames. Tanks emitting radio waves on the battlefield, like lights on a summer night, have a fatal attraction to moth-like missiles.

In the end, Abdullah's orders were carried out completely and forcefully. After the first wave was almost completely wiped out, the second wave passed over the still smoking tanks and continued to charge towards the American troops.

Apdullah's own command vehicle also joined the attack, the F18 in the sky lost its ammunition and flew away, and the rockets in the helicopter rocket nest were also exhausted in the attack. Even the American troops in front of them seemed to be unable to run and stopped retreating.

At this moment, Abdullah seemed to see hope of victory. After suffering heavy losses, it seems that he was finally able to rush into the formation of the American army. In the distance, the defensive line consisting of several infantry fighting vehicles and tanks looked so weak that it seemed to be broken with a single stab.

It's a pity, but it's just an illusion. The U.S. military didn't stop because they couldn't run, they just disengaged with you because they didn't get in touch with you.

What would a U.S. military do if it disengaged with you? You'll see a sea of flames. Indeed, you may have seen the waves on the sea, the sight of the overwhelming crash against you, the despair that can make it impossible for any human being to resist.

Under the dense barrage of 155-mm guns, the density of troops is meaningless, the heroism and will to fight are meaningless, and God, faith, and justice are even more meaningless. The reason why this unit, despite suffering more than 50% losses, is still stubbornly attacking does not make any sense.

The Americans are not interested in this, and the objective facts of the war will not be of interest to the inner world of humanity. This world is cold, exactly the same as a materialistic world.

Abdullah's armored regiment fell at the last moment, yes, it was miraculously disguised and maneuvered, it was slipped by the American troops and entered the flank and rear of the battle line; its warriors were skilled and well-equipped, able to carry out the commander's combat mission resolutely and effectively, and to persist in fighting in the face of extreme disadvantages; but in this collision of steel, explosions, and more steel and explosions, the side with more steel and more explosions won.

Abdullah's efforts were not meaningless, he managed to cause a little chaos among the American troops who carried out the Desert Storm, and successfully attacked some of the logistics points of the American army, causing the loss of supplies and casualties.

And then...... No then, the US military does not care.

It's like a cow waving its tail and pumping a mosquito that has been full of blood into a puddle of blood.

Relying on a complete battle front and close echelon firepower, air-ground coordination, the US Navy and Air Force are responsible for crippling all the enemy in earnest, while the Army is responsible for crushing all the resistance in front of it little by little. Abdullah's armored regiment may just be one of the lucky walnuts. If the Chinese teacher in Abdullah could watch the battle and talk to the living Abdullah, he would have said: "There are only two ways to confront such a US military: first, you need more than 120 high-performance third-generation aircraft, a single sortie of 40 high-performance third-generation aircraft, a complete territorial air defense system, and a complete and modern synthetic combat corps." ”

"The second way, which is the method I told you, is to get into a close battle with the U.S. military by using terrain or concealment, and with enough troops. At the same time, you have to have enough viscosity and mobility to avoid the rapid disengagement of US troops. ”

"But in the second case, only one country in the East has done it, or rather, only that country can do it. ”

"Unfortunately, Iraq can't do either. ”

"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do. ”
