Artillery roars!
In the middle of the mountain range, a group of Luer people are heading towards the other side of the mountain, Su Ming can't rescue two hostages alone, but the Luer people are a whole tribe, hundreds of armed young adults, and it is more than enough to rescue the hostages.
But even if it was half a mountain, the roar of artillery could be heard from afar, and even Su Ming was a little confused, how many people were on the other side? It's just two hostages, can you send so many troops?
In line with the principle of safety first and efficiency first, Su Ming finally made a prudent decision: most of the old and weak women and children of the Luer people, escorted by a part of the young and strong, temporarily continued to march towards the mountains to avoid the war, and Amir gathered about two platoons of elite Luer soldiers and followed Su Ming to save people.
"Amir, you must protect the safety of the oracle, if the oracle has any accidents, you don't have to come back, wash away your sins with raging flames!" Before leaving, the high priest Alayi said to his son:
"Father, the god of fire is above, if the god needs to face the bullet, there is only one possibility, I have died in front of him." Amir said.
The bold words between the father and son did not arouse Su Ming's excitement at all, he almost wanted to kick them alone, could he die or live before he set off? Given that Alayi was too old, Su Ming only kicked Amir in the end.
Basel finally kissed Su Ming's shoes as he wished, making his feet full of saliva, which was quite disgusting.
A company of Lur boys, all of whom had served in the army, learned that they were fighting for their gods, and the young men were all scrappy, and they were like two people when they were eating together in the Iraqi government army.
The closer you get to your destination, the more intense the sound of battle becomes, echoing in the mountains. Aimir personally protected Su Ming and asked a little puzzled; "Mr. Divine Messenger, why do we want to save two Westerners who have nothing to do with us?"
"Are you going against God's will?!" Lyudmila glared at him viciously. In the past two days, Lyudmila has been quite uncomfortable, and now that Su Ming has become a genuine divine envoy, she finally followed with her eyebrows raised, pulled the tiger skin to make a big banner, and enjoyed the treatment of a divine envoy's follower.
"Of course not." Amir glanced at Su Ming cautiously and said, "The holy scriptures teach us that we must be honest with God about our hearts. ”
"Okay Amir, you have been a soldier in the government, you should know that two Westerners will help the Luhr people gain the favor of the whole world, at least choose one between Westerners and IS, I choose the West." Su Ming said as he poured a large mouthful of royal jelly.
Getting closer and closer to the place where the hostages were kidnapped, Su Ming's spiritual power was overwhelming, and on the entire half of the mountain, animals of all sizes were mobilized and became his eyeliner.
After climbing over the last hill, I finally saw the situation diagonally through the telescope!
Not to mention half a regiment of IS militants, who erected fortifications on the hillside, this is still visible, and in the surrounding mountains and forests, it is not known how many people are ambushed.
"Oh, there are too many people on the other side! Damn, there's still heavy artillery! ”
Lyudmila put down the binoculars and said to Su Ming with a stern expression: "Let's go back, this is a war, just a few dozen Luer warriors, it won't help at all, we can't even break through the opponent's outer defense line, as long as we show up, we will be beaten into a sieve." ”
"Wait a minute." Su Ming waved his hand noncommittally, and poured down a large mouthful of honey, he didn't understand war, but it didn't mean that he couldn't win the war.
……
At the same time, the operational hall of the Iraqi Ministry of Defense.
On the big screen of the platoon, dozens of pictures were playing the battle situation at the same time, and a group of Iraqi military clerks were busy converting all kinds of information from the front into audio and video texts, and sending real-time battle reports to the high-level officials of the bureau present.
"General, so far, the two mountain regiments have been severely reduced and withdrawn from the battle, and with the battalion that was originally wiped out, we have lost almost four battalions. Mr. Minister hopes to ......"
"Hope for what!" An Iraqi major general in charge of the battle asked.
The Iraqi major in charge of the report looked at the officials of the United Nations observer mission and said with some confidence: "I hope we will temporarily cease fire, because if this continues, the losses of the government forces will be too great." Obviously, this is a trap for the other side, waiting for us to send troops to death! ”
"Of course I know it's a trap!" The major general was very angry, the battle had reached this point, the situation was already very clear, and the whole thing was a big conspiracy of IS.
The IS initially threatened the Lurs to surrender, not with the real purpose of annexing those few thousand Lurs, but with the intention of paralyzing Iraqi government forces and the Kurds in the north and concealing their true strategic intentions.
If at that time, the government army had taken tough measures and sent troops to protect the Luhr people, or even directly occupied the mountains, then there would have been no further incident.
However, the government forces and the Kurds are holding each other back and guarding each other, and the rash entry of either side into the mountains will provoke the action of the other side. And both sides did not take the Luhr people, who only had a few thousand people, as a thing, but gave the IS the opportunity, and under the guise of annexing the Luhrs, the IS constantly sent troops into the mountains.
By the time the government forces and the Kurds reacted and understood the true intentions of the IS, they had already lost their fighters, and the IS had already set up defenses in the mountains and was ready to attack, and whoever took the initiative to attack would have to pay a heavy price.
A small trick that took advantage of the mutual defensiveness of the government forces and the Kurds, as well as the government's indifference to a small clan like Luhr, easily occupied the geographical point between the three parties.
As for the hostages, it was purely an accident involved in this grand conspiracy.
However, it was those accidents that made it difficult for the Iraqi government army to ride the tiger and had to send troops to the rescue. In particular, the two American hostages, who have been clearly kidnapped and whose location can even be determined, are simply two decoys that lure the Iraqi government army to send groups of troops to their deaths.
The American people will not allow their government to ignore the safety of their own hostages, and it is impossible for the US government to send troops on a large scale and get bogged down in the quagmire of Iraq, so the dirty work of rescuing people can only be done by the Iraqi government army, and who will let them be loyal dogs of the US government.
As for the Kurds, they are not the ruling party, of course, they can sit on the sidelines,
Lack of heavy weapons, lack of air force, relying on second-rate armament and technical and tactical level of ground troops, to attack the mountainous areas that have already been arranged for defense, the price paid is too great, and the government army can not stand it! In Iraq, where guns are the kings of grass, the casualties of the government army are too large, and in the end it will only make the Kurds take advantage of it for nothing, or even replace the current government.
The Major General turned to the United Nations Observer Mission and asked what they meant. (To be continued.) )
