Saeed continued as if recalling: "For a while after the attack in Arsabad began, the people here in Mosul did not move immediately, they spent a certain amount of time gathering intelligence to judge the situation and our true intentions. This period should be the most favorable moment for us to let go and attack. But the more intense the attack, the shorter the time will be, as they will immediately call for help when they sense something is wrong, and then the reinforcements already prepared in Mosul will set out. Rush to Al Sabad. Speaking of this, Saeed thought for a while and said: "According to my knowledge and observation of the Yankees here, most of the teams sent for the first time were mainly Iraqis. There may be a part of the Americans, but there will not be too many. ”

Speaking of which, Malle Potuk glanced at Said and said, "No need to tempt. There's nothing to hide from you. There are indeed my people there. I'll keep track of the movement of the support troops, and I'll ask him to contact you and Rashid directly, and maybe even give the Americans a hard time at a critical moment. ”

Said nodded, not glad at the good news from Marle Potuk, but continued to say calmly: "It doesn't matter who comes." I'm going to do my best to block along the route. ”

"It seems to me that your situation will be much more difficult than mine." "I can be more flexible, but you have to be nailed here, or you'll fail," Rashid said. ”

"You're right." "Because of this, I have prepared a large number of mines and improvised explosives. There aren't as many rockets as you'd prepare, but they're quite a lot. I'll attack first along the way, there are many places that are not suitable for blocking, too simple and flat terrain will expose us to the enemy's vision and fire too early. Therefore, I was only prepared to use cold guns and explosives for attacks along the way. And the real resistance I'm not far from here. The small town of Shahad. The town is located on the road to Arsabad. As soon as your guns go off, I will destroy the roads there. Forcing the people who rushed to support us to engage in street fighting here. ”

"Are you sure? Stop in one place and fight them. I've asked this question before, but I'd like to check it again. Marle Potuk said.

"I'm confident." Said said: "I have been preparing for such an operation for a long time. My people know how to do it, and all of them have some experience. I also prepared mortars and enough shells. Traps and traps were also set up there. I think it would be okay one night after the start of the operation, until noon the next day. ”

"And after that? Why just noon? Rashid asked.

"Because whether or not I can continue to be there at that point is not just a question for me. There are three aspects to consider. First of all, me, if the battle is fierce, then by that time according to my estimates, there may be problems with the ammunition. I'm not talking about bullets, but rockets and shells. If there is a steady stream of personnel to support in the direction of Arsabad, it will certainly not be possible to rely on guns and ammunition alone. I'm going to be under a lot of pressure here. And in Al Sabad, if all goes well, it can be broken quickly. The Americans may try to abandon the ground reinforcement and switch to the air. Then I would have been less stressed, and I could have left the town to find a place to take refuge or go straight to Al Sabad for the final sprint. And more importantly, in Mosul, the fighting here becomes very difficult after dawn, and if you don't resist it, and you are driven out of the important area or destroyed, then there will be a large number of Americans pouring out of the way along this road, and then all I can say is that I will do my best to hold on until all of you are killed. ”

Malle Potuk nodded, "I hope we don't get to that point, but let's prepare for the worst anyway." ”

"Yes." Said said: "Our plan can only be said to be here, and then we can only adapt to the situation. I don't necessarily have to go to Arsabad, maybe it's better to go to Mosul and continue to consume Americans there with Rashid. These can only be one of the options, but in any case, we must achieve our desired results at the beginning, and only then will the Americans be mobilized by us, and we can win more time and space. ”

"I also have people in Al Sabad." "To tell you the truth," said Mulle Potuk, "there are quite a few people there who don't want to follow the Americans at all. Especially in prison. At this point, the guy chuckled and continued, "No one has been caught in and is preparing to break out of prison." When the time comes, I will see how long the people there can last. ”

Said pouted and said, "You have to be careful of the Americans stationed there. Although you can lure them into action when attacking the prison and then launch an ambush on them. But these Americans are difficult to deal with. You must not be careless. ”

"I know that." Malle Potuk laughed and said, "I didn't know how to fight with people. But today, I suddenly realized that these have become what I do best and what I want to do the most. So trust me, I won't be disappointed. ”

When Said heard Marle Potuk say this, he bowed his head slightly in respect. And Marle Potuk stood up and said: "There are also people who are waiting and watching, and if we go well, they will pounce like a pack of hungry wild dogs." Hmph, I'll leave them with plenty of flesh and bones. And Masri, the people from Masri will come over soon, and they will be with me. Saying that, Marle Potuk smiled and said, "So now it seems that we still have a lot of people." Prepare your own preparations, I'm also going to leave for Alsabad. ”

While the Iraqis were each making final preparations for their big plan, Team 009 entered Al Sabad.

The city is much smaller than Mosul, but there are checkpoints on the way into the city. And after coming here, it was not as smooth as leaving Mosul, and they were all checked and checked by phone before being released into the city.

However, after entering the city, Pete found that there were a lot more people on the road than Mosul, I don't know if it was because of the route, anyway, there were obviously more people on the way to the prison, although the eyes looking at the convoy were still unfriendly, and they were full of vigilance, but they felt more lively than Mosul.

It wasn't until we got to the prison that there were fewer people. On the way, the number of people in training uniforms increased, and soon they entered an area that resembled a military control zone. All you can see here is a military camp, and it's an Iraqi barracks.
