Chapter 490: Holy War Warriors
But it was in Medina that the Hejaz army finally suffered a defeat for the simple reason that it was ......
The U.S. military entered the war.
This city is the only base of the US army in the Hejaz region, and it is also the last fortress of the Najd Kingdom, and a large number of transport planes continue to fly from the US military base in Dharan every day, sending the weapons and ammunition of the Najd Army to them, once Medina falls, it means that the Najd Kingdom is completely expelled from the Hejaz region, and the people of the United States will certainly not allow such a thing to happen.
"Can we shell Medina with heavy artillery?"
Major General Liu Fengsheng, the adviser of the Ming army who actually commanded the battle, asked Faisal II, who was also considered to be a personal commander at this time, but because the Ming army did not participate in the war, the mercenaries under him simply fought a smooth battle, and the prototype immediately appeared when they encountered a hard fork, not to mention that this hard fork was still an airborne brigade of the US army. The 2nd Airborne Brigade belonging to the 82nd Airborne Division, that is, with the 325th Parachute Infantry Regiment as the core plus some supporting units, is the real trump card of the US Army at present, even if the number is small, but with the mercenaries of the Najd Army guarding Medina and blocking Faisal II, there is no problem.
Obviously, in Liu Fengsheng's opinion, the best way to deal with this situation is to use tulips to flatten the city, anyway, it is nothing more than pulling thousands of tons of shells, they have just occupied the port of Yanbu, and the transportation is very simple, and there is no need to transport it from Jeddah port to this side by truck.
"No, no, there's a holy mosque there."
Faisal II hastened to stop him from this crazy idea.
"Well, I have to say that your business is troublesome, but our army must guard Mecca. I can't transfer it! ”
Liu Fengsheng paced in difficulty.
In this war. The two brigades of the Ming army were tasked with guarding the port of Jeddah and Mecca. As for the task of attacking outward, this was the responsibility of the Hejaz army itself.
"You're all fanatical about your faith, aren't you?"
Then he added.
"Our men are almost there, but the Persians are strong in this area, and as long as the elders give orders, they are generally fearless."
Faisal II said honestly.
The real main force under his command is Pakistani veterans, these people are the core of the operation, but these Pakistani veterans have fought side by side with the Ming army for many years, and of course there is nothing to say about their tactical level and personal quality. Their rich combat experience made them very qualified for the positions of middle and low-ranking officers, but they lacked the spirit of the Persians, such as rarely charging to the death, and relying more on firepower and technology, which is also recognized by everyone.
"Then airlift a group of elders, as for how to get them to help you desperately, that's what you need to solve."
Liu Fengsheng said.
He already had a good solution, his biggest obstacle at the moment was not being able to use the advantage of firepower, the American army and the Najd people were hiding in Medina to fight them in the streets, and these guys understood that Faisal II would definitely not dare to use heavy artillery at the risk of bombing the second holy mosque of the Isilan. In the same way, he did not have combat aircraft that could be used for precision strikes, and the bombing of helicopter gunships and those Skyraiders was insignificant. But in the urban street fighting environment, those elite American soldiers can easily shoot and kill the attacking motley mercenaries.
In that case, let's equip the attacker with another precision strike weapon!
A truly intelligent weapon system.
Through the command system of the Ming army, a group of Shiite elders in Persia who were eager to kill the Holy Land were quickly contacted, and then they took a special plane escorted by ghost fighters from Sharjah to cross the Arabian Peninsula and land at the Mecca airport, first let them go to the temple for a pious pilgrimage, and then invite them to the royal palace of Faisal II.
"Distinguished elders, now that the enemy is colluding with the evil of the American Empire, the righteous people of the American Empire are defiling the sanctity of the Prophet's Temple in Medina, and our warriors have attacked many times, but in the end they have not succeeded in liberating this holy land from the hands of the Yi cultists, so we can only ask for help from the gods. But we can't represent the gods, only you are God's servants, only you can represent the will of God, at this time we should no longer dwell on sectarian issues, after all, we are all the people of the Lord, and when the filth of the Yi cultists rages in the holy land, it is our duty to wash it with their blood together. But we can't destroy the Holy Mosque, so we can't use heavy artillery, and we can't carry out massive bombardment, which is why we can't defeat the enemy, who are using the Holy Mosque as a threat, and for this situation, our generals came up with a solution, one that requires courage and dedication. ”
In the royal palace of Faisal II, the ambassador of the Ming Empire to the Kingdom of Hejaz said with a solemn face.
"Your Excellency, every believer can give his life for the sake of the gods."
One of the elders said haughtily.
"That's fine, our general's proposal is to have a group of the most devout believers strapped with explosives, and when they need heavy fire support, they will die with the enemy to win the victory, our cannonballs will not know where the holy mosque or other sacred relics are, but our warriors know that our cannonballs will not know to hide from these places, but our warriors know, and of course you know that it takes great courage to do so, so this order must be given by the gods."
The ambassador said more solemnly.
Although the ambassador was also Mu Silin, he was still stunned when he heard Liu Fengsheng's tactics, but he also admitted that this tactic was absolutely effective and cheap, compared to bombing thousands of tons of artillery shells at Medina or throwing a whole bunch of expensive precision-guided bombs, this tactic was completely negligible, but it avoided damage to the city to the greatest extent, and was more flexible and effective than any way.
After all, precision-guided bombs are not as precise as a living person's brain.
In that case, it's totally worth a try.
Of course, the only problem is that this living person needs to be crazy enough, this kind of thing is not something ordinary people can do, like the orders of the kings and generals will definitely not work, this is only possible with these elders.
"It is the honor of every believer to dedicate oneself to the gods, but we also have some questions about the future Hajj and the right of residence of Shiites in the holy places that need to be discussed with the holy descendants."
The elder looked at Faisal II and said.
They are the most respectful of the Holy Descendant, although this Saint is a descendant of Hassan and not Hussein, but it is also a Saint after all, and the British chose the Hashemite family as King of Babylon in the first place, just because of the title of Holy Descendant to suppress this country that is specifically designed to separate Shiites and Sunnis, but even so, some benefits must be obtained.
As for how Faisal II exchanged their interests with these elders, this is not something outsiders need to worry about, anyway, after more than two hours of secret talks, the two sides finally came out with satisfied smiles, and then these elders began to mobilize those Shiite mercenaries, and simply sent a telegram to the country, pulling a group of more devout believers from Persia, one by one, wearing slightly fatter military uniforms, ten kilograms of antimony and grace tied to the uniform, and then installed an electric detonating device, A person ti bomb was born gorgeously in this way.
But in appearance, these guys are no different from other soldiers, the same uniform, the same face, and even the same submachine gun, only when they encounter those incomprehensible strongholds, they will immediately turn into saints.
With the personal send-off of the elders, soon the first saints set foot on the ladder to heaven.
Medina.
A platoon of soldiers of the 82nd Airborne Division of the U.S. Army, in a building adjacent to an important religious monument, was using it as a base to easily shoot the attacking mercenaries with blazing fire, and the corpses of the latter were covered in the not wide street in front of them.
"Those damn bastards, they delayed my wedding!"
Holding an M14 rifle, Ensign Black aimed at a Hejaz soldier who was carrying a bazooka and was about to shoot in this direction, cursing viciously and pulling the trigger while recalling the last time he and his fiancée were in bed.
But at that moment, the soldier shrank back suddenly, and then pushed out from it a half-grown child in a robe and glasses who looked very weak and weak like a high school student, who walked forward tremblingly with his hands raised in the air, and at the same time waving a small white flag, not knowing what he was shouting, as if it was a civilian they had temporarily captured to act as a messenger.
"Don't shoot, Bill, you two go and bring him here."
Second Lieutenant Black shouted as he pointed to the two soldiers.
The latter hurried to the door, and while one quickly waved outward, the half-grown child hurriedly ran over, and just as he rushed to the sandbag blocking the door, two soldiers stretched out their hands at the same time, grabbed him and dragged him up, dragged him into the house and fell to the ground, and then raised his foot and stepped on the point of the gun, but at this moment, Ensign Black suddenly noticed a wire sticking out of his cuff, and the wire actually led to his hand.
There was an instant buzz in this guy's head, and he raised the M14 in his hand as fast as he could, but at the moment when he pulled the trigger, the half-grown child on the ground suddenly showed a holy smile, and the next moment Ensign Blake's eyes suddenly turned red......
"Quick, attack! For Muhammad! ”
Dozens of meters away, a Pakistani veteran armed with an AK47 suddenly shouted to his companion behind him, and just opposite him, Ensign Black's stronghold was turning into countless building fragments and spraying smoke and dust outward.
Hundreds of Hejaz soldiers shouted the name of the Persian seminary student just now, surging over like a tide, and soon occupied the half-collapsed stronghold, and then dragged out several remnants of the American soldiers, one of whom raised his machete directly, and cut off the heads of the elite American soldiers with his knife in his hand, and there was a carnival of victors around them.
