Chapter 693: Sneak Attack Annihilation War

The middle and high-level commanders of the Kurdish armed forces are all elite backbones specially trained during the second phase of the mercenary regiment's officer training, and although they have undergone the study of modern military thinking and tactics, some shortcomings need time to change.

Of course, this also has something to do with the general environment they are in, the Kurds do not have the terrible wealth of the Jews, and they do not have a military industrial enterprise, an ordinary rifle and ammunition need the help of mercenaries, and it is inevitable to feel distressed in the face of tens of millions of dollars of ammunition consumption in a battle.

The Kurdish armed forces were planning to engage in a large-scale war of annihilation, and the Turkish army was unguarded and paralyzed, and suddenly came under such a frenzied rocket and artillery attack, and the result was obvious.

As the dense rockets dragged their tails down to the barracks, large craters suddenly appeared on the ground, and shrapnel flew everywhere, tearing apart anything that dared to block the route.

Even some sad main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles cannot withstand the power of rockets or 1005mm grenades.

The entire barracks, artillery positions, anti-aircraft missile positions, armored unit positions and field airfields dozens of kilometers away were littered with fragments of vehicles, aircraft, and weapons and equipment, and everywhere there were fires and black smoke from the burning of tent materials, and the explosion of oil depots and ammunition depots also caused huge casualties, who would have thought that the enemy would have such perverted firepower?

The ground is full of severed arms and stumps, and there are lying corpses everywhere, and the vast majority of Turkish officers and soldiers are asleep, not knowing that the rocket rain is falling from the sky, that more than 100 howitzers are shelling, and that more than 1,000 mortars are firing at close range, and they don't even have time to dodge, and their bodies are directly torn apart alive.

The 36 fighters of the Kurdish armed forces, all of which were piloted by veteran pilots of the mercenary regiment, carried out precision strikes and bombing on dozens of planes at the field airfield, and those pilots who boarded the planes were burned to char in their beloved fighters.

After the rocket artillery brigade and the artillery brigade fired all the ammunition, they immediately withdrew from the battlefield and returned to the hiding place, leaving 300 mortars to continue as fire support, and the remaining 1,200 guns were also all withdrawn for concealment.

Five Kurdish infantry divisions poured out of their nests to form an impermeable encirclement, ready to destroy the remnants of the enemy in the barracks. But Wu Chen shook his head a little when he looked at it, the equipment of the Kurdish armed forces is too poor, the soldiers still use AK-47 assault rifles and M16A2 assault rifles, of course, the basic equipment of the mercenary corps is also these two, and stability on the battlefield is the most important.

When the mechanized infantry division of the mercenary corps attacks, it is equipped with M1A2 main battle tanks, M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, M3 cavalry fighting vehicles and M113 armored transport vehicles, M109 self-propelled howitzers, M270 multiple rocket launchers, 107mm mortars and 90mm recoilless guns, and Vulcan self-propelled anti-aircraft guns!

In addition, there are Tao anti-tank missile launchers, Javelin anti-tank missile launchers, Avenger anti-aircraft missile systems, equipped with AH-64 Longbow Apache helicopter gunships, AH-1 helicopter gunships, UH-60 utility helicopters, OH-58 Kiowa reconnaissance helicopters and EH-60 electronic warfare helicopters, what kind of attack power is this?

However, there is a serious shortage of transport vehicles in the so-called infantry divisions of the Kurds, not a single main battle tank, infantry fighting vehicle, armored transport vehicle, and self-propelled howitzer, and not a single helicopter gunship or transport helicopter, let alone a reconnaissance helicopter or electronic warfare helicopter. The most sophisticated equipment, I'm afraid, is anti-tank missiles and portable anti-aircraft missiles!

"Thompson, this situation cannot continue, the Kurdish armed forces already have more than a million fighters, forming more than a dozen divisions after short training, and they will also be the biggest help for mercenaries in the region in the future."

"After the General Headquarters and the General Staff and other battles are over, a reorganization plan will be drawn up, I will form eight mechanized infantry divisions and two armored divisions, and two artillery brigades, although they cannot be compared with the equipment of the mercenary corps, but they must reach half of the combat capability!"

"The General Logistics Department is also ready, I want to equip the mechanized infantry division of the Kurd tribe with main battle tanks, anyway, the base has it, and if it is not used again, it will become scrap metal. The towed artillery and self-propelled guns of the former Soviet Union should be equipped with helicopter gunships and anti-aircraft missile systems, and only in this way can they deal with the Turkish army. ”

"After this battle, the Turkish army has suffered a great loss of vitality, and the situation will change from enemy attack and defense to strategic stalemate, and the Turkish government will definitely propose negotiations, and we will use this stage to help her train the army with weapons, and turn the army of these fighting nations into an iron fist of mine!" Wu Chen said with determination.

Khanty, the chief of the General Staff, is correct in his judgment, never underestimate any opponent, strategically can be despised, tactically must be taken seriously, after all, every military power has its own reason for existence, do not care that the Turkish Air Force's fighter planes can sink their own warships, the Turkish Navy can shoot down their own fighters, NATO's second largest standing army, by no means relying on boasting.

The shelling came to an end for the time being, and the battlefield was so silent that the surrounding Kurdish troops thought that the Turkish army was finished under such a terrible blow.

However, after about half an hour, some figures appeared one after another, although they stumbled and stumbled on the road, and they had not fully recovered from the shelling, but there was a fact in front of them, and people's survival instinct would still create some unexpected miracles.

The remaining Turkish soldiers, under the command of the officer, quickly found their weapons, formed battle squads and groups, and used all the objects that could be blocked, lined up in defensive formations, and the large craters blown up by the rockets and grenades became the best cover, and the flames that were still burning illuminated them very clearly.

"Akyol, you are my student, the chief of the general staff and the supreme commander of the Kurdish armed forces, I now ask you, given the current situation on the battlefield, what are you going to do next?" Wu Chen looked at Akyol, who rushed to his place, and said, giving him an exam question.

"Headmaster, I plan to adopt the encirclement tactics, use my superior forces to completely wipe out the remaining enemy, weaken the opponent's strength to the greatest extent, and not give these people time to breathe, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue, advance to the central region, occupy those military bases of the Turkish army, and obtain weapons, equipment and food supplies!" Akyol replied.

This is an obvious thing, and his answer is also in line with the routine and logic, the loss of tens of thousands of people in the Turkish army set up this trap, dispatched so many modern weapons and equipment, to get this hard-won situation, at this time do not seize the time to clear the remnants of the enemy, wouldn't it be a waste of opportunity?
