Now, give a part to the Arab coalition? In the original agreement, their logistics were solved by themselves!

However, if the Arab coalition forces are unable to reach the designated position as planned, then they will not be able to complete their goal of dividing and encircling the Iraqi army and completely annihilating the living forces of Iraq!

"Give them airdrop supplies, order them, before dawn, be sure to reach the designated location and cut off Route 8!" General Schwarzkopf said.

Although Iraq has a large number of armored vehicles, hundreds of thousands of troops, the main transportation is still wheeled vehicles, and Highway 8 is a major communication artery connecting Iraq's Basra and Kuwait City, as long as this road is cut off, the Iraqi army can be completely surrounded in Kuwait.

The purpose of this operation is not only to drive the Iraqi army away, but to annihilate them! Only by completely destroying Iraq's vital forces can the United States win a good posture in the Middle East!

I thought it would be an easy victory, but now, General Schwarzkopf knows that it must be the Soviets who are making trouble, those Scud missiles, the sudden appearance of field air defense systems, a large number of portable surface-to-air missiles, and the leakage of their own course of action, all of which were done by the Soviets!

If only it had been as planned! If it is killed, it should be the Arab coalition!

General Schwarzkopf was also very unhappy with Bush Sr.'s finger-pointing interference in specific operations on the front line, but now, he has no other choice, and under the current circumstances, fighting this battle well is the most important thing at present.

No matter what the coalition forces do, their own armored forces must enter Kuwait City as soon as possible and use strong forces. Come and crush the Iraqi army once and for all!

Western Kuwait, a hundred kilometers of desert land. Armored forces of the US Seventh Army.

The sudden sandstorm delayed their movements, and they were expected to be able to reach the city of Kuwait by noon, but now, the armored forces in the desert. Lost in the sandstorm and driving towards the depths of the desert, the GPS positioning system actually failed!

The M1 tanks of the Gas-Drinking Monster, having run out of fuel, can only wait there honestly, waiting for the supply convoy in the rear to arrive, and in the shadows of last night, they are all a little apprehensive in case the Iraqi Scud missiles attack them again. They must be miserable.

Fortunately, after learning of their situation, C-130 transport planes were urgently dispatched to the rear to carry out logistics and rapid replenishment for them.

As an excellent tactical transport aircraft, the C-130 has excellent short take-off and landing capabilities, and is able to drop supplies over the battlefield. Prevent Iraqis from sneak attacking.

With a roar, the C-130 transport plane flew. In the distance, having discovered the armored forces, the pilots operated the plane, lowering the altitude.

The desert area is endless, and it is also convenient for transport planes to fly close to the ground, gradually. The flight altitude is reduced to a few meters, and the slightest influence of air currents may cause the transport plane to come into close contact with the ground.

The personnel in the cargo hold behind are also highly nervous, at this time. The tail hatch has been slowly opened.

Unlike ordinary airplanes, as a military transport aircraft, it is necessary to have a wide tail hatch, and now, when this hatch is lowered, it is closer to the ground.

"Put!" With the shout, the personnel in charge of the operation on both sides pulled the handle, and in the engine room, the fuel tank for replenishment slid out of the track, slid down the inclined plane formed by the tail cabin, and slid all the way to the ground.

"Put!" One fuel tank after another was directly put on the ground, which was far better than putting a parachute, and the airdropped materials were very concentrated and faster.

When the transport plane was pulled up again, the American soldiers who had been waiting for a long time on the side had already begun to eagerly open the fuel tank, suck the oil from it with a fuel pipe, and pour it into the small portable fuel tank to refuel the tank that had run out of fuel.

The tanks that could still be driven began to move this way, and this batch of fuel arrived too timely.

With C-130s risking fuel to be delivered, the armored unit finally didn't have to worry about resupply for the time being. At the same time, the commander is wondering, after waiting for so long, what about those transport convoys?

In modern warfare, it is logistical support! The modern army of the United States, without logistics, is a pile of scrap metal! Huge armored clusters and helicopter gunships all need astronomical amounts of fuel.

As if well aware of the weaknesses of the American army, at this time, the elusive Iraqi detachment, driving wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, began a sneak attack on the transport convoy.

These infantry fighting vehicles, also imported from Pakistan, have advanced off-road performance, can drive fast in desert areas, have high cross-country speed, low fuel consumption, and are also equipped with Red Arrow-8 anti-tank missiles and 20 mm caliber machine guns.

These infantry fighting vehicles, from time to time, emerge from the desert terrain and fire at the American transport convoys that are transporting fuel, 20mm machine guns, can easily tear the iron sheets of those tankers, and high-explosive warheads turn tanker trucks into fireballs.

The American supply team suffered heavy casualties, and on this day, more than 200 vehicles were lost!

And when the M113 infantry fighting vehicle covering on the side rushed out and was ready to fight against the other party, it would be destroyed by the opponent's Red Arrow-8 anti-tank missile, the armor of the M113 can only be shrapnel-proof, and it cannot prevent the attack of the Red Arrow-8 at all.

The only thing that could be called was air support, and by the time the Apache arrived in a rage, the Iraqis had long since disappeared except for the still burning tankers.

The Iraqis relied on this tactic, constantly hitting the supply convoys of the American army, seriously delaying the actions of the attacking American troops, and the huge heavy armor group, within a day, did not advance to Kuwait.

Baghdad, an underground building.

"Our army, fought very bravely, we are fully capable of turning Kuwait into a second Abbataan!" Republican Guard Commander Rashid said that today's one-day battle was very effective, and the use of various concealed weapons together had a good effect, especially the killing of an armored regiment of the United States, which made them even more happy.

"Thanks to Mr. Shaw, we would not have been able to achieve such results if it were not for the accurate course of action of the Americans provided by Mr. Shaw." Saddam Hussein smiled and said to Shostakovich on the side that because he followed Shaw's advice, they won their first victory since the start of the war, and Saddam Hussein was also very happy.

"We have only gained a certain advantage in the war, but we should be able to soberly see that the advantage of the Americans is still huge, Kuwait City will not become a second Abadan, and when the American heavy troops enter Kuwait City, Kuwait City will be lost in two days at most." Shostakovich said.

Back then, Abadan in the Iran-Iraq War had brutal street battles, tens of thousands of people died on both sides, and the battle lasted for more than half a year, but now, Mr. Xiao said that he couldn't hold it for even two days?

Everyone didn't believe it, but Mr. Xiao was their hero this time, so there must be considerations.

"The Americans' air power is too strong, as long as they have their hands free and cooperate with the strike from the air, they can easily win the street battle, no matter where we hide the sniper, they can call the plane above to drop the bomb and kill the sniper in a few seconds." Shostakovich said calmly: "Unless we seize air supremacy, we can resist the Americans hard, and now, we have no second choice but to withdraw from Kuwait." ”

"No, we are determined not to retreat!" Hearing his words, Rashid said: "Our army can continue to fight!" ”

"When you can't fight, it's too late to retreat!" Shostakovich said: "The plan of action of the Americans, as you have seen, is that their main force is not to besiege Kuwait City, but to make a big detour from Basra, that is, to surround our main force, divide it, and then eat it!" The Americans will use the air force to bomb the armored units on the ground indiscriminately, and it is impossible to repeat the tank battle with the British armored forces that occurred today. Even if the Pakistani army is willing to open a gap by then, you may not be able to pass through the other lines of defense of the US army! ”

Air superiority! With the United States in control of the sky, the Iraqi army has no chance of winning, and Shostakovich remembers his task to fool the Iraqi army out and not let them be easily eliminated by the Americans.

"So we're going to get out like that? All the sacrifices made in the past were in vain? Izzat Ibrahim, the No. 2 figure in the Ba'ath Party, said.

"Of course not." Shostakovich said: "We are only leaving Kuwait for the time being, and as long as our troops are still there, we can re-enter Kuwait at any time!" I have a well-established plan to get Americans embattled. ”

When Shostakovich told the people on the scene that his plan, which was actually made by Mhammad himself, their eyes were straight, and they had to say that Mr. Xiao was a genius!

No, of course it's not Mr. Xiao, such an action is definitely not Mr. Xiao, it should be the person behind Mr. Xiao, that is, this plan formulated by Moscow, I have to say, this plan is really tempting! (To be continued.) )
