Chapter 825: The Decisive Battle Breaks Out Four

The Turkish Army is equipped with more than 200 M-110A2 203 mm self-propelled howitzers and more than 200 155 mm self-propelled howitzers, in addition to the Russian BM-30 Tornado multiple launch rocket system and the United States M270 multiple launch rocket system, both of which are masters of concentrated fire and shooting, and are also the most advanced multiple launch rocket systems in the world today, and the power is very amazing.

In view of the enemy's strong firepower, the Kurds, according to the guiding ideology of the instructors of the mercenary regiment, dug a large number of sheltered pits in the tunnels, one at a few meters apart, which can place weapons, ammunition and combat materials, and it is not a problem to hide twenty or thirty people, and there are rocks everywhere, forming a natural bunker, which minimizes the casualty factor.

According to the army establishment of the Turkish army, each armored brigade has two artillery battalions, and each mechanized brigade has one artillery battalion, which is a total of sixteen artillery battalions, and the intensity and lethality of their firepower are very terrifying.

Moreover, two powerful rocket artillery battalions have been added this time, covering an area and power that have increased almost a hundred times, the M270 multiple rocket launchers can cover one square kilometer, and the BM-30 multiple rocket launchers can cover 0.7 square kilometers of land, what kind of concept is this?

The six armored battalions of the three armored brigades have 348 T-90 main battle tanks, and in addition to being able to deal with armored troops, the lethality of 125 mm shells of the main battle tanks is not small, and the destruction of field fortifications is a must.

Returning to the cave where the headquarters is located, Wu Chen lit a cigar cigarette, there is the cover of the mountain, and the inside and the hole are bent together, even if it encounters a nuclear bomb attack, there will not be much problem, in his hands is the world's second only to the United States Air Force The powerful air force in his hands, but he can't help his own soldiers, deep down he feels pain and helplessness.

If the mercenary corps directly intervenes in this war, the balance of victory will immediately tilt to the side of the Kurds, but the consequences of that are not what Wu Chen wants to see, not to mention interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, Wu Chen does not want this chess piece to lose its effect and completely fall to the side of NATO.

Turkey's geographical location is too important, the connection between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea is in the Turkish Straits, which will bring a mortal threat to the sea transportation of mercenaries, this alone is not enough to restrain mercenaries, the key is that the relationship between Turkey and the United States will undergo serious changes in the future, in fact, it is not very harmonious now, Wu Chen plans to use the problem of Kurdish statehood, so that the two sides are completely enmity.

As far as the US government is concerned, after the collapse of the former Soviet Union, a country that does things in a wall-to-wall style really does not make much sense, and has even become a black sheep of NATO.

Akyol reported that the CIA of the United States has begun to contact the Kurds and is willing to provide weapons and economic assistance to support the establishment of the Kurds.

With the whistling sound, the whole mountain shook the ground, and the huge sound shook the ears uncomfortably. The cave was accompanied by constant trembling, and a lot of dust fell, which frightened Ellie Jie to the point that her face turned pale, and she hid in Wu Chen's arms and did not dare to show her head, how had she ever seen such a scene? Whether it is a movie or a TV series, the shock shown is not even one percent, and the real battle scenes are very cruel.

But feeling Wu Chen's composure, Ellijie slowly recovered, no longer so scared, the man in front of her looked so flat as if there was no such thing, not to mention, he was particularly attractive at this time, and he was deeply attracted to her.

"This group of damn people really looks up to our so-called local armed forces, and they actually used a 203 mm self-propelled howitzer, and a shell fell from that thing, and an area of dozens of square meters became a dead place!"

"Fortunately, this situation was expected in advance, and a lot of potholes were dug in the position, otherwise this time there would have been heavy casualties, and the Turkish army was simply crazy, and they refused to stop after half an hour, and they wanted to blow the whole mountain to the ground?" Akyol, who was observing the battle outside, slapped the dust on his body and walked into the cave with a disgraced face.

"The other party knows that the Kurd warriors are not afraid of death, they are unwilling to fight in close quarters, and they want to rely on modern weapons to create the greatest results as possible and reduce the resistance for the infantry attack behind, you see, an hour is the shortest time." Hunter and Thompson sat on the ammunition box and looked at the image of the monitor, which was taken by the Global Hawk unmanned reconnaissance aircraft from the Mosul base, which was very clear.

The bombardment of the other side was too fierce, shells and rockets fell on the position like rain, and it can be seen in the real-time picture that there are constantly Kuerd fighters who are bombed by shells and fly into the sky.

Wu Chen judged that in this hour's continuous bombardment, the Kurd army would lose at least one-sixth or even more of its strength, and thousands of people would die in front of their eyes, but their group of commanders could not do anything, and it had to be said that the inner torment was extremely painful.

"Your Excellency Commander, our intensive bombardment will definitely cause serious casualties to those Kurds and weaken the opponent's ability to resist, and in an hour, I think we can let the infantry attack!" said the Chief of Army Staff.

"I think that if we extend it for another 15 minutes, we will try our best to cause casualties to the other side and reduce the intensity of resistance, anyway, the base will transport artillery shells over, the distance is more than 20 kilometers, and the logistics support will not be disturbed. At this time, we must not feel sorry for consumption, the consequence is to pay for the lives of our soldiers. The commander of the army said.

However, there is often a gap between reality and ideals, and the Kurd army is not only an infantry division, but more than 200,000 people are deployed near Kasaili alone.

"Report, the base informed us that the Kurdish army took advantage of the main force to fight, launched a fierce counterattack on the Talas military base and the city of Kayselli, which was simply a strong attack at any cost, and His Excellency the Minister had already evacuated the base by plane." The operational staff report said.

"For the time being, we don't care about the problem of the base, as long as we take down this position and eliminate the top echelons of the Kurd army, we can afford minor casualties, besides, there are more than 60,000 troops and reserves over there, and some police, how can we hold out for a few days, right? With the current momentum, I think the fight will be over in twenty-four hours! "The Army Commander is confident.

The shelling was over, the whole position became lifeless, and the ground was covered with bloody severed arms and stumps, except for large and small stones, and the scene looked terrifying, as if all the Kurdish soldiers had been killed.

Under the command of the officer, the Turkish mechanized brigade and assault brigade, protected by the main battle tanks and armored vehicles of the armored brigade, began to slowly advance towards the positions throughout the mountains, protected by helicopter gunships overhead, which were Mi-24 gunships purchased from Russia. Three brigades were invested at one time, and more than 10,000 people attacked at the same time, which is not a lot after all, but it is very spectacular.

"Paralyzed, is this still like the army of a military power? How does it look like a group of prisoners rushing to the court! The chief of staff of the army couldn't help but scold. The attacking force was slow, like a snail, for fear of being counterattacked by the Kurdish army.
