Chapter Eighty-Nine: Barracks
U.S. military station.
The little prince sent a subordinate to personally see off Yu Yuanjun and others, all the way to the US military camp, and after negotiating with several officers of the US army, Yu Yuanjun and others will follow a US armored regiment to Iraq, and the departure time is six o'clock in the evening.
This is the first time that the remaining reinforcements have come to the US military barracks, and it is not an open US military base stationed in Japan and South Korea in later generations, but a real US military barracks.
After entering the camp, I found many American soldiers lying on folding recliners, smoking cigars, basking in the sun, and chatting with each other from time to time.
There are also some U.S. troops holding the photos of the three versions of the girl, constantly looking at them, and they can't see any soldier training, and the officers don't blame this group of soldiers, except for some U.S. military officers who are busy, some officers are playing poker, feeling that the Americans are not here to fight, more like they are here for vacation, at least from their current work attitude, this group of Americans is indeed on vacation, and they can't see that they have the heart to fight.
However, the location of the camp tents is regular, the rows are quite neat, and the bedding in the American military camp is also very neatly folded, square, and the difference from the PLA is not too big, as long as the big countries in the world have extremely strict requirements for the internal affairs of soldiers, not the PLA is strict.
The so-called theory that the internal affairs of the US military do not require combat effectiveness and are very strong is simply, and it can only be said that the person who sent this thing has ulterior motives, and the brain that believes in these things is a bit ......
Yu Yuanjun and others were arranged in a truck, and together with a squad of the US military, they got to know each other briefly, and the squad leader was called John, a native of Nevada, with a very friendly attitude and a smile on his face all the time.
At about half past five, the US military was already preparing to leave, which shows that the command system and logistical capabilities of the American military are running very fast.
When the order was issued, the American troops who were still lazy before began to work, dismantling tents, carrying ammunition, and preparing in an orderly manner, and they were busy in half an hour, and all that was left was time for eating.
The food of the European and American armies has actually been criticized for the reason why the Yu reinforcements have understood, it is very simple, the food of the European and American troops is not like Chinese food, and it can be fried directly in a large pot of dishes, but Europeans and Americans like to eat fried food and bread, etc., it is a little troublesome to make, at least the frying time of the fries is different, and the taste gap is very large, followed by bread, well, let's talk about Chinese food, PLA food has nothing to say.
After eating a dinner that was almost hard to swallow, the remnants followed John to the back of a truck, a total of two squads, one person and one row sat in, at six o'clock, after the lead armored car drove out of the camp, the trucks behind began to move, heading towards their goal.
"Hey, man, you're Chinese?"
In the vehicle, a U.S. soldier handed one to Yu Reinforcements, and after Yu Reinforcements took it, the U.S. soldiers took the initiative to light it for Yu Reinforcements: "Well, yes, but I'm different from you, we're mercenaries!" ”
"Queer!" The U.S. soldier gave a thumbs up: "We don't want to be soldiers anymore, and when the contract is over, we will be ready to retire, and you actually take the initiative to go to the battlefield!" ”
"There's no way, I can't do anything but fight a war, I can only find a bite to eat on the battlefield!"
"Hahaha, you are very lucky, follow us, if you go to help Iraq, you must be cursing us by now!"
The atmosphere in the car is very harmonious, and if you can be in a truck, basically the battle will be almost distributed together in the future, and there will be no stupid person who suddenly comes out with a discriminatory word, even if you are stupid, you don't dare to show it at this time, otherwise it will not be fun to give you a shot in the back on the battlefield.
The Iraqi army is now shrinking on a large scale, and the US military has not encountered any obstacles on the way to its march, of course, it would be perfect if the road could be a little better, maybe the road in Iraq is very good, but the bombing by the Americans has now become potholes.
At about 11 o'clock in the evening, this unit came to a camp, which had entered Iraq for more than 300 kilometers, but it was only a supply depot in the rear of the American army.
After a simple night's rest, at seven o'clock the next morning, we set off again, this time the size of the team was a little larger, and the logistics camp also followed, this time there were more than a dozen large tanker trucks following behind, following the convoy and continuing to move forward, their task was to refuel the tanks that had run out of fuel.
From the beginning of the morning, I was able to encounter some front-line troops, but these troops temporarily stopped the pursuit due to lack of supplies, and partly because there were too many prisoners, so they had to stop and settle the prisoners, at least along the way, the remaining reinforcements saw many times about a company of American soldiers, capturing hundreds or thousands of Iraqi soldiers.
"Man, it's not the right time for you to come, the Iraqi troops are about to get down for us!"
At noon, there were still about 30 kilometers from the front line of fire, and the troops stopped for repairs, and some of the atmosphere of the big battle could be seen here, with wounded tanks, field hospitals, etc., and some traces of blood.
Yu Yuanjun jumped out of the car, feeling that this scene was suddenly a little familiar and unfamiliar, he loved this feeling very much, how to say it, as if he was born to live for the war, whether it was before or now.
This feeling made Yu Yuanjun want to stop, when he was a bodyguard in front of the little prince before, although he made a lot of money, but Yu Yuanjun was not happy, and he felt that this kind of life was not what he wanted.
Drew stood beside the remaining reinforcements: "The Americans don't look very smooth, and the losses don't look small!" ”
Yu Yuanjun shook his head: "This loss has no impact on the Americans, and it is not necessarily American's, maybe there are people from other countries, let's go, take a rest, when we get to the place, we will have no car to sit on, we can only rely on ourselves!" ”
Compared with the rear of the soldiers' barracks on the front line, there is more of a solemn atmosphere here, the soldiers do not have the lazy atmosphere seen in the rear, most of the soldiers are chatting with each other with serious faces, and at the same time they also see some soldiers from other countries, and the remaining reinforcements also see some Italian soldiers.
"There is no failure in cooperation with Italy, and the lives of the Americans are really big!" Yu Yuanjun doesn't like Italians, Italian soldiers are a god pit, and the mercenary group called what knight he met before directly left Yu Yuanjun and others to run away.
"Hell knows!"
After the rest of the reinforcements finished speaking, they followed John to the cafeteria, although the food was very poor, but now filling the stomach is the most important thing.
In addition to the multinational forces in the barracks, there is also a group of mercenaries, better known as the Kuwaiti army, Kuwait was beaten hard by Iraq, reluctantly, but now there are no troops in the country, first engaged in a foreign mercenary group, participate in the war process, if by the way, can empty Iraq, it is not bad.
The last 30 kilometers, so to speak, advanced under artillery fire, Iraq now has about 100,000 troops in front of it, as well as some artillery, and this group of artillery will throw a few artillery shots at the Americans if they have nothing to do.
The Iraqi soldiers are not without any combat effectiveness, at least they have learned the method of intensive artillery fire, but now they are distracting the attention of the US troops, and secretly a large wave of artillery has begun to assemble, ready to give the Americans a little eye drops.
Two hours later, the remaining reinforcements of the American army and Drew arrived at the front line, to be precise a few hours of the front line, and now the Americans have advanced about ten kilometers, and are steadily advancing towards the city of Sheila, according to the plan of the American army, at most a week later, completely occupy the Baghdad area.
"The car prepared for you, it's up to you below!"
The little prince had explained things before, and the Americans did not have any difficulties, and after a jeep and some weapons and ammunition were prepared for the remaining reinforcements and Drew, the two of them would have nothing to rely on on the road below.
