At nine o'clock in the evening of the second day after the Prophet's army entered Afghanistan, the Northern Army Group led by Clark finally arrived at the predetermined location and formed an upward and downward attack on the Bagram Air Base of the US forces in Afghanistan, and Jabbar immediately ordered a heavy artillery bombardment of the Bagram Air Base.

The artillery groups and air defense brigades of the Central Garrison Panzer Division were pulled to the forefront, and the armored brigades, which were the assault forces, instead made a detour to carry out the assault from the highway in central Afghanistan.

For a while, there was a lot of artillery fire at Bagram Air Base, and artillery fire could be seen in the capital Kabul like fireworks, and many Afghans who didn't know thought that this was the US military in action.

The simultaneous attack from the east and the west has left the US troops stationed at Bagram Air Base powerless, most of these weapons are produced by their own countries, and they know very well how powerful they are, and now these shells have fallen on their own heads, which is simply an irony for Anthony, the supreme commander of the US forces in Afghanistan.

But ironically, he also had to face the fierce attack of the Prophet Army, and the only two remaining bases were raided by terrorist groups, and they were unable to support their side at all, but the Afghan National Army in Kabul remained silent and still sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight.

Listening to the increasingly fierce artillery fire, it was obvious that the Prophet Army had begun to break through, and Anthony wanted to send all the planes in the base to bomb, but the situation at the front told him that he must not do this, because the opponent's air defense brigade was pulled to the front line, covering the attack of the artillery group, while the opponent's armored brigade was left behind.

He had to admit that the commander of the other side was a very smart person who knew very well the tactics of their US military, the US army relied on the base and used the air force as a mobile force, if Anthony sent out the plane, even if he broke through the opponent's air defense position and blew up their tanks, he would still suffer heavy losses.

Once the main attack force is lost, the entire US military in Afghanistan is finished, and now Anthony is waiting for the final fatal blow, he believes that the commander of the other side will definitely not be able to sit still, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for the Prophet Army, because he has already let the intelligence department pass on the news.

Once the Pentagon learns that the Prophet Army has opened a second front, it will send aircraft carriers to continuously support the US forces in Afghanistan from the direction of the Indian Ocean.

As a battlefield commander, he can't just think about this one battlefield, Anthony needs to think about other battlefields and the whole big picture, so he began to wait, just like a clever swordsman against each other, often not with flashy moves to win, waiting for that fatal blow.

At the same time, Abdul-Jabbar is leading the armored brigade to attack from the central detour, he believes that as long as the armored brigade is not detected, he will be able to break through to the Bagram airbase, and once it breaks through to the exclusion zone within ten kilometers, the tank's artillery can cover the entire airbase, and then victory will be his, and it is useless for the Americans to have any aircraft, and fighters that cannot carry out high-precision and precision strikes are no different from scrap metal.

The mumbling of the battlefield was like the footsteps of the coming of death, and the rolling dust and sand rolled up a wave of heat that soared into the sky.

At ten o'clock, the artillery fire of the Prophet's army had slowly begun to weaken, and Anthony, who was sitting at the base, suddenly stood up, and then issued an order: "Check the losses, all fighters pull out of the hangar, and prepare for battle!" ”

Twenty minutes later, the artillery fire of the Prophet's army has gradually subsided, only sporadic explosions came, the loss report quickly reached Anthony's hands, looking at the loss of the airport runway fighters, Anthony didn't have time to feel heartache, so he rushed to the hangar of the base, in front of all the pilots, he gave another order: "This is a battle of life and death, if we lose, it will affect the entire multinational force in Iraq, and then the defeat may not be us, but the entire United States, now I order, All the planes that can take off have taken off, and your goal is the armored group of the Prophets, drop all your bombs on their heads, blow them up to scrap metal, and we will win the final victory! ”

"Yes!" All commanders nodded at the same time.

The planes were then pulled out of the hangar and quickly began to be reloaded, the reason why they did not prepare in advance was because Anthony expected the artillery fire to cover the attack, so only a few planes were parked at the airport, and most of the planes had been transported to the hangar to hide.

The pilots, in particular, are almost all hiding in bunkers, and now is the time for them to strike back.

At the same time, Anthony came to the camps of the Mountain Division and the 101 Airborne Division, repeating the same words, that they were targeting the artillery positions and air defense brigades of the Prophet Army.

The soldiers of the Mountain Division and the 101st Airborne Division were already ready to go, armored vehicles and tanks began to drive out of the base, and Anthony, who returned to the command center, frowned and said to himself: "Victory or defeat, just this night!" ”

Since he took office as the supreme commander of the US forces in Afghanistan, Anthony has never slackened, they have faced ***, terrorists, drug dealers, although they are physically and mentally exhausted, they have never given up, in fact, the Prophet Army has much more advantages than them, because they are large groups of armored troops.

On the battlefield in Iraq, large groups of armored units can carry out large-scale mobile operations, but in the face of the air force, they can only become targets.

On the contrary, many people believe that the high-altitude mountains of Afghanistan are not suitable for armored forces to fight, but Anthony believes that the opposite is true.

If used properly in the mountainous areas of Afghanistan, the armored forces are much more powerful than the air force, after all, the air force relies on radar to search in the air, while the armored forces can hide in the mountains and forests at any time to prevent being scanned by the radar of the aircraft, which brings great stability to the air force.

Once the armored forces assault the air base, the entire air force is finished, so Anthony does not allow the other side to rush into his restricted area, and when the artillery fire falls, he is ready to endure it, and when the artillery fire begins to weaken, it is time for them to counterattack.

With the cooperation of the ground forces, as long as the opponent's artillery group and air defense units are eliminated, the armored division placed in the back will not be a problem, so the dispatch of the 10th Mountain Division and the 101st Airborne Division is the real key.

In the east, Karak also used the same tactics, and he was also very aware of the tactics of the US army, so the armored troops were assembled in the southeast of Bagram Air Base, which corresponded to Jabbar's armored division, and also formed a two-sided flank attack, and with the addition of artillery groups and air defense brigades, it was a four-sided situation, giving the Americans a huge psychological pressure.

While both sides were making their own calculations, in Kabul, President Ariza suddenly ordered the National Army air defense units to assemble outside the Bagram air base, and the National Army air defense forces were targeting US aircraft.

At that time, the temporary operations command room of the entire presidential palace was in an uproar, and they did not understand why the president did not sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but instead went to help the Prophet Army, which was a very unfavorable move for them, even if the American army was driven out and the Prophet Army became bigger, Afghanistan did not belong to them.

However, despite the opposition of many people, Ariza's order was very resolute, and even dismissed the chief of the general staff, who had the most vocal opposition, on the spot, so the order was immediately issued.

The sortie of the Nationalist Army was like a feather falling on the otherwise smooth scale, and the balance immediately began to tilt.

When Anthony learned that Ariza had ordered the National Army to attack the U.S. forces, he was stunned and didn't even understand what Ariza was thinking, even if they were to be driven out, the Prophet Army would not be able to occupy Iraq?

He immediately spoke directly with Ariza and asked him why he was helping the Prophets, but Ariza's answer almost caused Anthony to vomit blood, because the Prophets were all Arabs and they were both of the same religion.

"Damn Ariza!" Anthony cursed, and the dispatch of the national army had to let him send a part of his troops to block it.

Fortunately, the weapons equipped by the National Army are not advanced, otherwise Anthony would have been under even more pressure, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly said: "Have you contacted the Pentagon?" ”

The message sent out in the morning should have been replied a long time ago, but now that he suddenly thought that more than ten hours had passed, Anthony felt that something was wrong.

But the staff officer in charge of intelligence shook his head and said: "We have sent out more than a dozen messages, but the Pentagon has not replied." ”

"How is that possible?" Anthony wondered, "Is our signal being intercepted?" Or was it cut off directly! ”

"It's impossible, the data link connection has been normal, and the central computer has been in constant communication with the Pentagon." The staff officer objected.

"Then tell me why the Pentagon didn't reply?" Anthony yelled.

The intelligence staff officer's face changed, and he hurriedly went to check, but soon he came back with an abnormal face, lowered his head and said: "Our data link has been copied, the signal has long been cut off, and the signals sent by the central computer have all entered another fake data computer, and now"

"That is, the war has been going on for almost twenty hours, and the Pentagon doesn't know that there is a war here?" Anthony suddenly calmed down, but his face was horribly cold.

"Yes," replied the intelligence staff officer, "it must be the Prophet's army, the Afghans don't have such advanced technology!" ”

The staff officer's words made Anthony almost pull out his gun and reward him with a bullet, but he still held back, it is useless to kill people now, not to mention that even if he is the supreme commander of the US forces in Afghanistan, he can't kill people casually, and if he makes a mistake, it will have to be tried and adjudicated by a military court.

"Get back to your post and try to contact the Pentagon!" Anthony scolded, and by the time he sat back in his chair, he was exhausted.

If the message does not get out, he will be left alone, either captured by the Prophet Army or captured by the Afghan National Army.

And at this moment, another piece of news suddenly came: "Sir, unidentified armored units have appeared on the high-speed roads in the southeast and center!" ”

Anthony's face was immediately ashes
