The news of the stalemate between the coalition forces and the Prophet's army in Rutbay spread all over the world in an instant, and 300,000 troops were gathered, and seven countries were directly involved in the war.

The military alliance of Russia, the new Iraq, and Iran has been known to the whole world, but Russia and Iran have not directly participated in the war, but the two countries have been supporting the military operations of the new Iraq, among which Russia and the new Iraq have formed a joint fleet, blocking the entire Persian Gulf, so that the US military has to make a detour to attack.

Iran's support is small, but they play no worse role in the Persian Gulf than the Russians, and Iran is also providing Afghanistan with all the oil that cannot be produced normally during the war.

Everyone knows that modern warfare is fought with economic and financial strength, and the United States is already economically weak, and anti-war sentiment is rising at home, and continuing to fight will be a heavy burden for the United States, and it may even repeat the mistakes of the Vietnam War.

Fighting for more than ten years will only lead to a complete collapse of the US economy.

Sitting in the command headquarters, Simon was not in a hurry at all, it was the Americans who should be anxious now, he didn't press all the troops in his hands at once, he could still use 100,000 people from the Southeast Military Region, but Simon didn't do this, he knew very well that now he could not achieve the goal he wanted to achieve by defeating the United States in an instant.

Therefore, his forces were pressed up little by little, although Lutbay fought very fiercely, the number of casualties on both sides had exceeded 150,000, and the Prophet's army lost as many as 50,000 troops, and the rest was the loss of the coalition army.

Rutbay insists on one day, the greater the consumption of NATO coalition forces, just like the strategy formulated by the snow leopard at the beginning, in the city they fight with the coalition army building by building, the coalition army attacks during the day, and at night it becomes the counterattack of the prophet army, and the only result of the coalition army is to occupy half of the city of Lutbai, while the prophet army occupies the other half of the city, and both armies are insisting.

At this time, in the headquarters of the coalition forces, George's face has been extremely low, his strategic purpose has not been achieved, and it is possible that he will suffer extremely heavy losses if he continues to fight, and now his only hope is that the Saudi army can defeat the Prophet's Southwest Army and completely seal Lutbay from the south to the north, so that they can win the final victory.

It is a pity that in the headquarters of the coalition forces, there is a cry of opposition to continuing to insist and demanding an immediate withdrawal, among which the highest voice is General McCain, who led the Israeli army to attack Rutbay and suffered heavy losses, but his record is the highest in the entire coalition army.

But McCain was not willing to continue fighting, because he knew very well that if he continued to fight, he would have to invest troops again, and now that Israel has 60,000 people here, it is a question of whether Israel can defend its homeland from all sides.

And he was also deeply aware that the commander-in-chief of the Prophet Army seemed to be luring them into the battlefield of Lutbay step by step, and that Syria was already ready to move, and once the Syrian army crossed the border to help the Prophet Army, the remaining 200,000 people of the entire coalition army would be trapped in Iraq.

But George, a war madman, was no longer sensible, and although he postponed the attack, he did not give the order to retreat.

So McCain could only give an order, try to preserve the living forces, only defend, not attack, but after this order was issued, it made George very annoyed, the Americans are now rushing to the front, Israel and Jordan and other multinational troops, are following behind, after the Americans go to die, the Israeli army seems to be another Jordan with the head to flee.

The stalemate lasted for about a month, with heavy casualties on both sides, and they had found a way to defend and attack in the city.

On the first day of the month, the coalition forces got the good news that the United States would increase its troops in Iraq again, and this time it would be 100,000 troops, which was the result of George's maneuvers in Congress, and in his words, the Americans could lose the war, but they would never be the one who took the initiative to retreat.

His speech in the U.S. Congress doesn't know how many members of the Congress, anyway, the final vote actually did not pass, but President Theodore used his veto power, vetoed Congress's refusal to increase the number of troops, and supported George's next action.

This news boosted the morale of the coalition forces, and almost all of the US troops increased this time, including the US First Cavalry Division and the First Infantry Division, which are on par with the US First Armored Division.

These two heavy divisions are nearly 30,000 people, of which the 1st Cavalry Division contains 4 heavy brigade combat teams and 1 aviation brigade, which is the ace army of the US army, formed in 1921.

He fought in World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and the Iraq War, and is based at Fort Hood, Texas.

The original source of the division was the American Dragoon Regiment established in 1833, it used to be cavalry, and later changed to the army, but the number has not changed, although the unit has no horses, but there is still a horse head symbol on the soldier's brochure, the first cavalry division is very famous in the US army, rarely loses, the biggest defeat is still in the Korean War, defeated in the hands of the 39th Army of the Chinese Volunteers.

A famous American military writer once described the First Cavalry Division as follows: "When they pass in front of you, the masculine wind and tiger anger rising in the dust rush to your face, as if you only need to use their neat and upright posture to tell you that they are a mighty army tempered into steel, a division of aces, a traditional ace combat unit known in the US army, and their history can bring our thoughts back to the era of knights who slept in the saddle..."

The 1st Infantry Division is also the ace unit of the US Army, this unit contains two heavy brigade combat teams and an aviation brigade, compared to the 1st Cavalry Division, this unit can be described as prestigious.

When it was first formed, this unit was called the 1st Expeditionary Division, nicknamed the 1st Red Division, and now the full name is the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division, which has a lot of similarities with the 1st Armored Division led by Taylor, but this division has a long history.

In the First World War, it was the first to engage enemy forces, the first to suffer casualties, the first to capture prisoners, and the first to invade France; In World War II, it was the first to reach Britain, the first to land in North Africa, Sicily and France, and the first to break through the Siegfried Line in western Germany.

In the ground campaign of the Gulf War, the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division advanced a total of 260 kilometers, destroyed 550 Iraqi tanks, 480 armored personnel carriers, and captured 11,400 Iraqi troops, while he only lost 18 people and lost 5 tanks and infantry fighting vehicles.

So Simon remembers the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division well, but the third trump card of the U.S. military this time has a greater origin, because he is an all-special forces force, with a total number of more than 10,000, including the famous 75th Ranger Regiment, Delta Special Forces, Green Beret Special Forces, and the mysterious 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment.

This unit was also resolutely requested by George to be specially formed by the Special Operations Command after suffering so many losses, although the number and establishment are not yet available, but they are directly under George's command.

The three trump cards were dispatched at the same time, causing public opinion in the whole world to be in an uproar, and the United States is going to fight hard.

Someone suddenly thought of the original First Armored Division, if Taylor had enough supplies at that time and was not so desperate, maybe there would be no current situation, the First Armored Division could have defeated the entire Prophet Army, but unfortunately people are not as good as heaven, the fiasco of the First Armored Division completely broke the United States' control over Iraq, and set up such a big enemy for itself.

Some people also sighed, if the First Armored Division exists, then with the First Cavalry Division and the First Infantry Division, to form the three strongest echelons of the US Army, how long can the Prophet Army support?

But even if there is no first armored division, the other two firsts, plus the collection of special forces of the US army, have also created a general trend of Taishan crushing eggs.

Under this name, there was a sudden feeling that the Prophet Army had become vulnerable again.

In fact, after learning the news, Simon's face was also pale, his strategy of luring the enemy finally succeeded, but the Prophet Army was about to face a vicious battle, whether it was the 1st Cavalry Division or the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division, as well as the special forces collection behind it, it was difficult to deal with.

It can be said that if you want to talk about the quality of all personnel, no unit of the Prophet Army can compare with any of the three troops of the United States, not even the Northeast Army, this is not because Simon looks down on his own troops, but because this is the case.

Moreover, in addition to the Army, the U.S. Navy has also dispatched two other aircraft carrier battle groups, and the lost aircraft have been repaired or mass-produced.

But what does Simon have? The last hole card is the 100,000 men of the Southeast Army, which also includes the occupation army in Khuzestan, the Northeast Army has 50,000 people involved, and the other 50,000 people are holding Turkey back, and the central garrison force cannot be moved even if it is killed, because it has to defend the capital Basra.

Glancing at the major military regions, the only thing that can be used in the end is the Southwest Army, as long as the Saudi army is defeated, the Southwest Army can participate in this general battle.

However, before that, Simon had to order the Southwest Army to stop the offensive, because he had to complete the strategic encirclement, and after the three trump cards of the US army were put into Lutbay, the Southwest Army could defeat Saudi Arabia, cut off the retreat of the three trump cards in a detour, and completely block the US military in Iraq.
