After being silent for a few seconds, Canglong was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly asked, "How many people have been rescued?" ”

"There was a sea of fire, and the whole building collapsed." Su Su lowered his head and was silent for a few seconds, he didn't know whether to say it or not, but finally plucked up his courage, "Amira is also inside!" ”

The shrimp on the side obviously saw Canglong's body tremble, and his fists suddenly clenched, but he was not angry, let alone angry, on the contrary, he was very calm, although his body was trembling.

Then there was silence in the conference room, until the next day, when the explosions finally stopped, and by this time Basra was already traumatized, nearly sixty missiles broke through the defense network and fell in various areas of Basra, when the data of the losses came up, Canglong looked at the bloody number, 89,632 people died under the missile attack.

Because the bomb shelters are all newly built, many are still under construction, so they can't accommodate too many people, plus the population of Basra is already very dense, if it is not for the capture of three provinces, most of the people who have migrated, I am afraid that this number will increase several times, and from beginning to end, Canglong has not said a word, and has remained silent.

Until Simon arrived from the front, at this time all the military leaders were in the conference room, and as for Prime Minister Vivien, who was dealing with the aftermath, they only had anger and hatred on their faces, and soldiers could die on the battlefield in order to defend their land and frontier, which was an honor, but if they could not protect their land and people, it would be a shame for soldiers.

Today, all of them have tasted shame, and they have not suffered such serious losses since the Battle of Fao.

Simon reported the situation on the front line, he felt that something was wrong with the situation today, although Simon was very clear that Canglong's feelings for the Basra people would not make the atmosphere cold to this extent.

The battle situation on the front line was much worse than they expected, first of all, losses, the most elite First Army was almost disabled, only 20,000 of the 100,000 troops were still fighting, and the heavy armored division was completely wiped out, suffering an unprecedented defeat.

The Second Army finally blocked the gap leading to Basra, but under the attack of Taylor, a madman, the rabble of government troops actually exerted unprecedented combat effectiveness, and the two sides almost fought to a draw, but now the gap in casualties in the war has reached an unimaginable figure of 1 to 10.

The Prophet's army lost ten people, the other side only lost one person, they died a hundred, the other side lost ten people, and their losses in this raid were as high as tens of thousands, and the specific data could not be collected, because the First Army and the Second Army had now begun to merge, and there was no division on the battlefield.

"It was a terrible fight, we did our best!" Simon ended up with this ending.

He commanded at the front, although he was retreating, but when he blocked the Basra border, he did not flinch a single step, almost with all his strength, and the troops were dispatched, and he did not see the commander of any unit ask him for even a single retreat, and under the absolute superior artillery fire of the American army, when their artillery and armored divisions were almost crippled, they still insisted, even if they piled up with human lives, no soldier of the Prophet's army would never allow the American army or any government army to step into their hinterland.

At this time, everyone looked at Canglong, the American troops on the opposite side had an advantage over them in any aspect, especially when they were beaten so badly, now the Russians can't help them for the time being, Iran can't send troops directly, and the occupation forces of Khuzestan can't be transferred over, that is to say, now they must integrate the First Army and the Second Army and face the crazy attack of the Americans again.

"What about the casualties on the other side?" Canglong asked suddenly.

"General Black is at the forefront, and the heavy armored division he leads is beginning to run short, while the U.S. military can continue to transport arms and supplies from Saudi Arabia, and even if they suffer heavy casualties, we will not be able to win." Simon replied.

He had indeed tried his best, and the original strategy was to use the remnants of the First Army and the Second Army to completely encircle the First Panzer Division in these three provinces, but the American troops were reinforcing very quickly, and there were a large number of government troops holding them back, and they were fighting very hard.

In particular, when the Territorial Defense Force was making every effort to intercept the enemy's missiles, they did not have air superiority at all, and although the opponent's air force did not dispatch, helicopters and tanks were attacking in turn.

Although this was a tough battle and a surprise attack, the Americans did fight beautifully, they responded in a hurry, but they fought a huge gap, both in terms of quality and overall strength, as well as the weapons and equipment of individual soldiers, they were inferior to the Americans.

Canglong was silent again, he looked at the map with a blank expression, everyone looked at his hands trembling, this was something they had never seen before, there was no problem, there was no order, he was like a mountain that was about to collapse at any moment, swaying.

"Head, are you alright?" Su Su said suddenly.

"It's fine!" Canglong raised his head and looked at everyone, "We lost this battle, and today is our shame because we didn't defend our territory and those who believed in us. ”

"No one will blame you, head, Lady Amira's thing, you have to mourn!" At this moment, Shrimp suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, Simon's faces, who didn't know the situation yet, suddenly changed, and at this time they finally knew why Canglong was trembling, and even on the verge of collapse.

"Amira?" Canglong looked at the snow leopard, suddenly stood up, and asked, "Why did you mention her alone?" ”

Shrimp was stunned for a moment, and replied: "She is your wife and the mother of the emir, and her death"

"Could it be that the soldiers who died on the front line, they don't have wives, they don't have mothers?" Canglong suddenly retorted, "Could it be that the 89,632 civilians who died in Basra are not someone else's wife, they are not someone else's mother, they are not someone else's son?" ”

Everyone was silent, Shrimp lowered his head and stopped talking, Canglong glanced at everyone with a cold gaze, and finally said in a deep voice: "Since other people's sons can sacrifice for this land, other people's wives can sacrifice for this land, and other people's husbands can sacrifice for this land, why can't mine?" I only hate that it wasn't me who was killed, and I'd rather switch places with them; So, I don't want you to say that in the future, there's nothing special here, at least not when I'm there!! ”

As he spoke, Canglong regained his old expression, he walked to the front of the map, and said, "Although Taylor is very smart and knows how to use all their strengths to attack us, he has a fatal weakness. ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at Canglong, Simon's face lit up, and he suddenly thought of something, but at this time, Canglong said in advance: "This fatal weakness is his conceit, Taylor thought that he could lead the huge number of government troops to attack by putting the US army in front and the government army in the back, but he was wrong." ”

Everyone also understood, after such a long battle, if they still can't comprehend, then they are not worthy of being generals, and finally Canglong pointed to a mountain range in Dikal Province and said to Simon: "Here, this mountain range runs through the entire Dikal Province, and it is also a natural barrier, now I need to let you concentrate eighty percent of your forces, give up the attack on the First Armored Division, and attack this combination of American and government forces with all your might, even if all of them are killed, you have to open a gap for me." ”

However, as soon as Canglong said this, they didn't understand, because the concentration of eighty percent of the troops to open this gap, what should Basra do?

Simon said: "If all the troops are sent forward, the 1st Panzer Division will sweep across Basra as if it were no man's land. ”

"Let the old black command the rest of the troops to deal with Taylor." Canglong said coldly, "Isn't he going to fight a tough battle?" Doesn't he like to do raids? Then I'll send him a general who fights a tough battle, and I'll give him a more fierce surprise attack, until his mother doesn't know him! ”

"What do you mean!" Simon had a horrified look on his face.

"Open this gap and leave Basra alone." Canglong stared at Simon, "Your goal is Baghdad!" Hit it here, it's a victory! ”

Everyone's faces also changed greatly, this plan was too risky, if Basra was breached, what use would they have if they took Baghdad?

However, when they saw the determined expression on Canglong's face, they inexplicably developed a kind of confidence, especially Simon, he studied it carefully, and after a few minutes he finally understood where Canglong's risky plan came from, because the missile forces and logistics of the US army are almost all on the Baghdad side, once Taylor's back road is copied, what is the use of the First Armored Division being in the elite?

However, on the Basra side, it can continuously send troops and directly transfer the occupying forces back to block the attack, although there may be a huge gap in equipment, but Taylor's ammunition will always be exhausted, and what can the unsupplied 1st Panzer Division do in the face of the anger of millions of people in Basra?

Although this plan is very risky, Simon finds that this is the only chance to win, now is the time when the supply of the American army is interrupted, and it is also one of the weaknesses that Canglong said, Taylor's armored division has just been transferred, and it has not even had time to rest and enter the battle, so there are such huge results, but the weakness is that they do not have complete logistics supplies.

In the end, Simon glanced at Canglong and nodded: "I promise to complete the task, if I can't complete it, I will die in Kara Mountain and sacrifice my life for the country!" ”

"Fart!" Canglong scolded, "If you can, I want all of you to come back alive; Remember to Lao Tzu that no soldier wins a war by "sacrificing his life for his country", and to win the war, he has to let those poor mongrels on the other side die for their country, go ahead, kick their ass, and kill them all. ”
