Defeat Tikrit and break the morale of the Iraqis! The American troops, who had come from the north, drove straight into the periphery of Tikrit.

This ancient city, with a population of more than 200,000, is a sacred place for Iraqis and the birthplace of their hero Saladin!

And now, the city is already surrounded by the 1st Cavalry Division of the US Third Army, and the M1 main battle tank, with its high barrel, fired its first shell at the city.

"Boom!" A high-explosive grenade destroyed a building on the street in an instant.

Remembering that the country was in a mess by these hateful Iraqis, the hearts of Americans are full of deformed destruction, anyway, it's a time of war! What is it to hit a couple of civilian targets!

"Boom!" The AH-64 helicopter gunship also followed and launched a fierce attack on the local garrison camp, and rockets poured out of the rocket launch nest one by one, and the ground was full of smoke from the explosion.

The main forces were sent to the front, and the militia units stationed in Tikrit were only second-line militia units, numbering only two thousand, and in the face of the blows of the Americans, their annihilation was only a matter of time.

Slowly, after dawn, a large number of US military planes were almost dispatched, and even the US aircraft carriers entrenched in the Persian Gulf took off carrier-based planes to support combat operations on the ground.

The United States is angry, and the consequences are serious! It would have been too easy for the United States to deal with an Iraq.

Saddam Hussein organized terrorists to carry out unrestricted warfare on the US mainland, which the United States absolutely cannot tolerate, and it is only a matter of time before the huge US war machine is dealing with a small Iraq and bulldozing Iraq!

Pakistan. Islamabad.

War, ignoring even a small detail, can lead to a rapid deterioration of the situation.

In Iraq now, this is the case, the Americans have leased Pakistan's ground-effect aircraft, and Mhammad realized that this American attack will be dangerous. But I didn't expect that the Americans would attack from the north!

In a country, traitors are always the most shameless and spurned, and Iraq's current situation is caused by traitors from the Kurds in the north! Without their guidance, it would have been impossible for U.S. forces to move quickly through northern Iraq to Tikrit.

Now, the whole north. Maybe they are all welcoming the arrival of the Americans, and those Kurds are all eyes on the territory of the presidential palace in Baghdad!

"This game of chess, Saddam Hussein is very difficult to play." Looking at the map, Mhammad said: "The main forces of Iraq are in the south, but now, the main direction of the United States is attacking. But it's the north. ”

I have to say that the Americans are first-class in war. The disadvantage was regained in an instant.

"And how should Iraq mobilize its troops?" Musha'f asked: "Move troops from the south?" ”

Mhammad shook his head: "Absolutely not, moving troops from the south is a dead end, the Americans occupy the skies of Iraq, and the air raids of the previous period of time, the Iraqi air force has almost disappeared." Now, if Iraq dares to move troops from the south, then the US air power will inflict heavy losses on Iraq's troops. ”

It's going to be a huge loss! Think of the Gulf War that year was like this, the defeated Iraqi army. In a hasty retreat, on Highway 6, in the desert, it was ruthlessly attacked by American fighters, suffering heavy casualties, and many troops finally had to surrender.

Now, if they still dare to move their troops quickly in broad daylight, they can only usher in a miserable defeat just like history.

"So what are they going to do?" Musha'f asked.

"Give up Tikrit, give up Baghdad." "Saddam Hussein should move to Basra, build a defensive line there and fight the American army!" ”

As long as the army is mobilized, it will be attacked from the air, and the huge army movement can only become the target of the US air force, so at this time, Saddam Hussein should be allowed to move to Basra and to the middle of his large army to command the army to fight.

In fact, the Iraqi army really confronted the US army, and the outcome was equally obvious, but the longer Iraq held out, the more heavy the blow it could inflict on the United States.

"Contact Shaw and ask him to tell Saddam about our suggestion." Mhammad continued: "Hopefully Saddam Hussein is smart enough to delay Iraq's defeat." ”

"We can't reach Xiao anymore." Musha'f said: "Shaw's contact was cut off last night, and it is likely that Shaw was also lost in the fighting in Iraq. ”

Mahmad was stunned for a moment: "Let our intelligence officers go to find Xiao, Xiao must not have an accident!" ”

Shostakovich, but the man who transported a large amount of arms to Iraq, if something happens to him, especially if he is arrested by the Americans, it will be a big trouble, and thinking of this, Mhammad is very worried.

However, over the years, Shostakovich has also fully demonstrated his ability, he has moved around, he has formed a secret network, no matter where he goes, he is like a fish in water, and it is said that he will not have problems.

………

"Boom!" On the road in the distance, an explosion sounded, and with this explosion, the road in front of it was instantly blasted into a large crater.

Seeing that the road in front of him was blocked, the young man driving had no other way but to grit his teeth, and the car drove down the road and jolted forward.

Be sure to meet Saddam Hussein as soon as possible! If this stupid guy had ordered the troops of Basra and Kuwait to return to defense, Iraq's military might have been wiped out under the air strikes of the United States!

The call was disconnected, and Shostakovich knew that he had no choice but to venture into Baghdad on his own! He had to remind Saddam!

Several bodyguards sat next to him, and this tough Mitsubishi off-road vehicle was jolting forward, and this time, Shostakovich was also out of the way.

In this way, constantly dodging air raids and advancing, the civilian vehicle was not noticed by the aircraft overhead, and in this way, it advanced to the outskirts of Baghdad.

However, when he arrived here, Shostakovich looked at it with a high-magnification military telescope, and still had to shake his head, no, no!

Although the Americans broke through from the Turkish direction, the attack on Baghdad was also bloody, and just after the second batch of armored troops were transported by ground-effect aircraft, the US 82nd Airborne Division also carried out a parachute landing in the Euphrates River Valley!

More than 10,000 American GIs have bloomed in the sky, including M551 tanks that can be airborne, and various paratrooper equipment.

If only paratroopers, in the rear of the enemy, without heavy weapons, they would easily be annihilated by each other, and now, with the fighters of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division and two divisions, they are rushing to Baghdad and encircling the city tightly.

Obviously, the Americans also know that if they want to take Baghdad, they will have to go through brutal street fighting! To this end, the United States has mobilized a large number of soldiers, and their will to fight is also quite high.

The 82nd Airborne Division, also a highly successful force, was ordered to act in April '65 when the Dominican Republic was in flames, and the 3rd Brigade was quickly deployed to the Caribbean republic to suppress the rebels. In the Vietnam War in March '68, the 82nd Brigade of the 3rd Airborne Division participated in the final war. In May '78, the 82nd Airborne Division was ready to carry out airborne operations in Zaire. In November '79, he was ready to go to Iran to rescue the American hostages. In October 83, he parachuted into Grenada and won the victory in less than a month with the method of rapid and deep attack. In December 89, during the U.S. invasion of Panama, the 82nd Airborne Division adopted the parachute multi-way attack method to quickly seize Panama's Torrijos International Airport and control the key points in depth.

Now, it's time for this force to shine again! Protected by heavy equipment on the ground, the parachute landing area was safe, and after landing, they quickly retracted and closed Baghdad completely.

When the American war machine is launched, it is simply invincible. Sweeping away the previous defeats, the Americans fought brilliantly on the first day of the battle.

Attack from a distance, go straight to Baghdad, advance in the north, and surround Tikrit! The tactics of this move have been applauded by military observers.

After all, the most direct sign of the destruction of a government is to occupy their capital! The United States obviously wants to quickly occupy Baghdad and destroy Saddam's regime!

If Saddam Hussein had been surrounded in Baghdad, he would have been almost unable to fly!

As the battle continued, the most brutal street fighting began.

Iraqis are not afraid of positional warfare, not afraid of street fighting, during the Iran-Iraq war, in Abadan, the two sides had a brutal bloody battle, killed tens of thousands of people.

And now, the Iraqis thought that this street fighting would last at least a month or two, but they underestimated the brutality of the Americans.

In the sky, there were American AH-64 helicopter gunships everywhere, and as soon as the Iraqis hiding in the building were found, the rockets flew directly over, and the entire building was turned into ruins.

The Americans actually don't care about the lives of the citizens inside!

Taking a tough approach, almost like bulldozing Baghdad, the Americans are advancing step by step.

The proud Medina Division originally planned to rely on the buildings in the city and the fortifications built up to constantly attack the invading Americans, but the air strikes made them at a loss. (To be continued.) )
