After receiving the latest information, Wang Dong immediately called Nanijer over.

The situation is urgent and dangerous, but it is not hopeless.

The rebels have been storming Semavo, and even though they have suffered heavy casualties despite stubborn resistance from government forces, they have not adjusted their offensive deployment.

It seems that the rebels can only attack at night.

In the eyes of others, this is normal, because in the daytime, government forces with air strikes by the coalition forces of the Arab coalition can crush the offensive actions of the rebels.

It's just that Wang Dong doesn't think so.

Quite simply, the government forces had little to offer, so the rebels could have resorted to siege tactics rather than sending hundreds or thousands of officers and soldiers to their deaths.

Surround for a few days, and when the food runs out, the government forces will surrender.

From another angle, you can see it more clearly.

That is, the ground forces of the Arab League have already entered Iraq, and there are 8 brigades, will the government forces in Semavo easily surrender?

As long as there is hope, government forces will not surrender easily.

It is also true that after being besieged by the rebels, most of the government officers and soldiers fought valiantly, and not many surrendered to the rebels.

What keeps the government officers and soldiers holding on is actually the hope of rescue.

Government forces were able to hold out for a few days, while the Arab League ground forces were able to drive over for only a few days.

Even if the rebels did not take Nasiriyah's defenders seriously, they did not dare to underestimate the ground forces of the Arab League, and it was reasonable that they should make relevant defensive arrangements.

To put it bluntly, no matter how arrogant the rebels are, they should know that it is too difficult to annihilate tens of thousands of government troops in a few days.

What should the rebels do if they are attacked by the ground forces of the Arab League during the storming of Semavo?

Looking further, the rebels should not storm Semavo.

That is, if Karim wants to end this war as soon as possible and completely eliminate the Razak regime, the first thing that needs to be considered is not the government army, but the coalition forces of the Arab League!

So, how can the Arab coalition be defeated?

In other words, how can the Arab League be forced to withdraw its troops from Iraq, acknowledging, even if only tacitly acquiescing, defeat in Iraq?

There is only one way.

Heavy damage to the Arab Alliance coalition forces!

Obviously, the siege of Semavo was an opportunity to inflict a heavy loss on the coalition forces.

Adopt siege tactics, place the main forces east and southeast of Semavo, wait for the Arab coalition forces to come over, and then confront the Arab coalition forces.

As long as it can inflict heavy damage on the coalition forces of the Arab League, it can force the coalition forces of the Arab League to retreat.

When the time comes, if Nasiriyah is defeated in one more go, and the army marches towards Basra, it will be possible to eliminate the Razak regime before the Arab League increases its troops.

This means that Semavo cannot be taken immediately.

If Semavo is taken in one fell swoop, the Arab coalition forces will at most increase their troops to Nasiriyah and wait for the rebels in Nasiriyah.

Clearly, the rebels may not be able to take Nasiriyah.

If it drags on, the Arab League will continue to send more troops to Iraq, and the Razak regime will be able to recover, and eventually make Samawa's victory worthless.

Of course, there is a premise here, that is, the rebels can defeat the Arab coalition forces in a head-to-head confrontation.

It's just that it's not impossible.

Don't forget, the rebels have moved south from Amarah to Basra.

Regardless of whether this side is a feint or not, the ultimate goal of the rebels must be to capture Basra, and the rebels heading south from Amarah are closer to Basra.

In addition, there were only four brigades fending off the rebels on this side, only one of which was a mechanized infantry brigade.

Unless the rebels in this direction are able to attract all the Arab League ground forces, they should use the siege of Semavo to divert the Arab coalition forces.

As long as the coalition forces can be lured to Samawah, the rebels moving south from Amara will have a better chance of taking Basra.

In fact, due to road constraints, the coalition forces would only need to send a maximum of two brigades to the north of Basra to hold off the rebels in that direction.

In other words, it is impossible for all of the Arab League's ground forces to go north.

It's just that under the threat of this direction, it is also impossible for the coalition forces of the Arab League to kill all of them to Semavo, and it would be good to send four brigades, at most five.

Obviously, with the strength of the rebels, there is still some chance of victory against the four brigades of the Arab coalition army head-on.

It is precisely for this reason that Wang Dong believes that the rebels stormed Semavo not because they were afraid of being bombed during the day, but because they wanted to win as soon as possible.

To put it simply, the rebels have felt threatened and intend to eliminate the government forces in Semavo as soon as possible.

So, what is the threat?

Before, Wang Dong had been unable to figure it out.

The main forces of the government army are surrounded, the ground forces of the Arab League are not ready to participate in the war, and there are no forces that can pose a threat to the rebels on the entire battlefield.

Of course, the air threat does not count.

In fact, the Israeli Arab League's air force could not defeat the rebels by bombing alone.

After receiving the latest information from Yunlong, Wang Dong's doubts were finally explained.

The rebels do not feel threatened, but have other plans!

It is not the rebels who are going south from Amarah, it is the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, to be precise, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards wearing rebel uniforms and waving the banner of the rebels!

That is, in this round of the offensive, the rebels committed less than 12 brigades to the siege of Semavo.

Well, what about the rest of the rebels?

To the south, or to the north?

If he was to the north, Karim would have wanted to launch a surprise attack on the Kurds after encircling and annihilating the main force of the government army, or at least force the Kurds to sign an alliance under the city.

As long as the rebels can take a few important towns in the north in one fell swoop, hold the main roads, and let the Kurds stay honestly outside the battlefield.

At that time, the rebels would need only a small number of troops to stabilize the northern defenses.

Only in this way can the rebels mobilize enough troops to move south, and only then can they be sure enough to defeat the coalition forces that have entered Iraq.

It would be even more terrifying if the rest of the rebel forces were to the south.

This means that Karim has a hand left behind and is ready to face the Arab coalition forces that are coming.

If the coalition forces remain stationary, the rebels will still have enough troops to attack Nasiriyah after storming Semavo, and even be able to capture Nasiriyah, and then force the coalition forces to fight a decisive battle with the coalition forces near Nasiriyah.

Regardless of which side the rest of the rebel forces are on, Semavo needs to be taken as soon as possible.

Quite simply, the longer you drag on in Semavo, the more variables there are.

Let's not forget that the Arab coalition coalition has been sending more troops to Iraq, and the second batch of ground troops is ready to enter Iraq soon.

If it really dragged on for ten days and half a month, the rebels would not face eight brigades of the Arab coalition army, but more than a dozen brigades.

At that time, even if the coalition forces of the Arab League fight on two fronts, the strength of the troops will not be a problem.

Similarly, the Kurds in the north will soon wake up to the fact that they have been targeted by the rebels, and will then strengthen their defenses at key military points.

As a result, Wang Dong saw an opportunity to turn the tide of the war and rescue tens of thousands of government soldiers. 17010
