Xie Chuyue coughed twice and walked over.

"Isn't that too radical?"

Although he said it a little vaguely, Xie Chuyue also felt that something was wrong with Wang Dong's head, and even suspected that Wang Dong wanted to mess things up.

Stimulated?

Are those rumors true?

Even if you want to lower your value and make the princess who has committed nymphomania disgust herself, you shouldn't joke with the lives of thousands of soldiers.

"You think it's too risky?"

Xie Chuyue nodded and looked at Wang Dong.

Wang Dong smiled and looked at Nanijer.

"Coote is indeed very important, if Coote can be taken, it will naturally be great, but with just one brigade, I'm afraid even Hay can't get through."

"You all think so, what about Karim?"

Xie Chuyue's brows jumped a few times, and Nanijer was also slightly stunned.

"There is no doubt that when he found out that a brigade was killing Kut, he would have thought that this was a crazy move that was no different from sending him to death, and he also believed that this brigade would definitely not reach Kut, and that he would be intercepted by the rebels at Hailey." Wang Dong paused slightly, and then said, "At this point, he will keep an eye on the other direction, and conclude that we will attack in other directions, and it will soon be discovered that another force is turning at Fergil and starting to attack westward, that is, Diwaniyah." At the same time, the government forces of Imam Hamzai and Al Qayas and the Arab League will launch an onslaught to pin down the rebels on the frontal front. ”

"You mean ......"

"At this point, Karim will not hesitate to believe that our goal is not to take down Kut, but to capture Najaf and Diwaniyah."

"Open the southern gate to Baghdad?"

Wang Dong nodded and said, "Unless Karim plans to abandon Baghdad, he will send additional troops to Diwaniyah and Najaf, especially Diwaniyah." If we can take Najaf at this time, we will be able to advance north along the west bank of the Tigris. As long as it can advance to the vicinity of Karbala, it can flank the rebels. Because of threats in the rear, the rebels are likely to abandon Divaniyah at this time. Even if the rebels hadn't given up on Divari, they would have sent more combat troops to Sheila. In my presumption, the rebels would have committed at least fifteen brigades in Karbala, Hilla and Diwaniyah, in addition to leaving a reserve of at least five brigades. ”

"Wait......" Xie Chuyue pressed his hand and said, "Your speculation on the development of the battle situation is based on the fact that you can successfully defeat Najaf. ”

"That's right."

"The question is, who can guarantee that Najaf will be able to take down Najaf smoothly?"

"Faisal."

Xie Chuyue was slightly stunned, and blinked his eyes, obviously not reacting.

"He has already gone to Al Qamas, and within three days, the day after tomorrow to be exact, four Saudi brigades will arrive, and then two more Emirati brigades will be added."

"How can such a large-scale troop mobilization be kept secret?" Nanijel asked.

"We're definitely going to have to storm Najaf and attack head-on, there's no room for manoeuvre, so secrecy doesn't matter, and making the battle bigger will make it difficult for Karim to make an accurate judgment, after all, we haven't launched a decent offensive on the Eastern Front until then."

"So, our aim is to take down Najaf and Diwaniyah, and advance to Karbala and Sheila?"

"Judging from the deployment of troops, that's it."

Nanijer's brows tightened, and Wang Dong only said half of what he said.

"It's just that the key is still Coot."

"A brigade?"

Wang Dong smiled and said, "If the rebels put in twenty brigades in Diwaniyah, Hilla and Karbala, plus the troops used in Najaf, how many troops are available?" In addition, Amara has several brigades of the rebels. As a result, the number of troops that can be used to defend Cotter must be very limited. According to my estimates, there may only be three brigades, and maybe one of them will be transferred at some point. ”

"What about logistical supplies?" "It's just a brigade, and it definitely can't control the towns along the way, let alone guard the entire logistics supply line." If the logistical supplies can't keep up, even if you hit Kut, you may not be able to capture Kut. ”

"Airdrop vs. Airlift."

"What?" Xie Chuyue felt that he had misheard.

"Once the offensive begins, RAF transport planes will airdrop supplies to the attacking forces, and helicopters will then be dispatched to deliver supplies to the front lines. According to the assurances made by Faisal, at least one hundred and fifty utility helicopters will be able to be supplied, ensuring the delivery of 500 tons of supplies to the front line every day. ”

"It's barely enough for an armored brigade."

"Including the airdrop, it can reach 750 tons."

Nanijal pondered for a moment and said, "Even so, it must be done quickly. If you can't take Coote in one go, it is obvious that in the bitter battle, it is not enough to rely on airdrops and airlifts. Exhausted, this armored brigade will soon run out of ammunition and food. ”

"So, the operation to assault Kutre is crucial."

"Wait......" Xie Chuyue immediately stopped Wang Dong, "You don't plan to personally direct the assault, do you?" ”

"To be honest, the person who knows me best is you, not even Luo Qing."

Xie Chuyue rolled his eyes, what does Wang Dong mean by this, this is Iraq, and Muslims are strictly forbidden to engage in basic behavior.

Of course, he also knew that Wang Dong was joking.

"It's too dangerous to take any chances." Nanijer, like Xie Chuyue, resolutely opposed Wang Dong going to the front line to command the troops to fight, let alone go deep behind enemy lines.

"Kut's vital importance is that as long as we can take Kut, regardless of the battle between Najaf and Diwaniyah, we can quickly take control of the border area from Kut to Amara, and open the eastern gate of Baghdad. Faisal went to Al Qaymas, where he commanded the assault on Najaf and the march into Karbala. On Diwanier's side, you are in charge and will coordinate and direct all combat operations on the central line. ”

Nanijel was slightly stunned, then nodded.

Wang Dong's arrangement is equivalent to putting Nanigel on Faisal, that is, confirming Nanigel's identity as the second commander of the coalition army.

"The Amara side still has to continue, and Faisal recommends Major General Faisa of Kuwait." As he said this, Wang Dong looked at Nanijer.

"Fasa...... You're talking about the son-in-law of the King of Kuwait? ”

"He's a Kuwaiti colt?" Wang Dong was a little speechless.

Xie Chuyue snickered, he didn't expect that there was still a colt in the coalition army.

"It should be him."

"Is it reliable?"

"The ability is average, the courage is very small, and the personality is a bit introverted, but just commanding the battle on the Amara side, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"That's good."

"But ......"

"Of course, if anyone is willing to lead his troops to attack Kut, I am happy to stay in Nasiriyah and wait for the victory."
