Chapter 800: Capture the thief and capture the king first

readx;

The muzzle of the T-72 tank, all the way to the city a few kilometers away, as long as they have an order, they can rush in at any time and liberate Damascus!

However, watching as the sun slowly turned to the south, it was already noon, and the order was still not given. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info≦≧

In order to avoid running out of fuel while waiting, except for a few tanks and armored vehicles that kept their guards, the engines were still idling, and the rest of the vehicles had turned off.

"What does this mean exactly? Let us rush to Damascus in half a night, and not let us break in, what are we waiting for! "The commander of a tank company was in the prison.

"I heard that the 1st Armored Division is coming from Mosul, does President Qusay want the 1st Armored Division to arrive before launching an attack?" Another deputy company commander said.

"How can that be! Obviously, we arrived first, so why wait for them to come and attack, we are enough. The company commander was even more dissatisfied, although the 1st Armored Division was a descendant of the Republican Guard, but their 60th Armored Division was also a well-known unit. ≦≧

If it weren't for the contribution of the 60th Armored Division in the battle in Khuzestan Province, it would definitely not be the first unit in the ordinary army to be equipped with T-72 tanks, with 1,000 horsepower engines, 125 mm caliber guns, and the latest ammunition, so that this unit has become a unit that absolutely dares to fight tough battles, undertakes the most difficult tasks, and will achieve victory.

Therefore, they wanted to muster up all their strength, rush into Damascus, solve the battle, and write another brilliant stroke on the achievements of their armored division.

But. The order was never given. So, they just waited.

"If we wait any longer, there will be a lot of pressure outside. Just half an hour ago, the US ambassador in Baghdad lodged a protest with our side. He claimed that our action was a serious violation of international conventions, and hoped that we could withdraw our troops as soon as possible. Foreign Minister Tariq said.

The Americans, this time they are really powerful, they put pressure on themselves so quickly, and two hours ago they made a statement in favor of the Syrian problem being resolved by the Syrian people themselves. ≦≧ Lifaat has occupied Damascus, isn't that a clear support for Rifaat? Now, it's time to press yourself down with international conventions again. What's the matter with the United States? This is the Arab world!

But. Qusay also knows that the United States is not ruthless. The reason why the United States did this is because of the influence of the Jews, who absolutely do not want to see the establishment of a pro-Iraqi Syria.

The Jews do not yet know that a big crack is about to appear in the relations between Israel and the United States under their own propulsion, so now let's give them a little foreplay.

"Inform the US side that our oil pipeline in Syria was blown up by Kingfisher special forces, which led to a reduction of 200,000 barrels of crude oil output per day, further decline in our crude oil export capacity, and the rise in international oil prices, which has nothing to do with us, and is entirely caused by the deliberate sabotage of the company!" "At the same time, we will announce to the world the cause of the damage to our oil pipelines, publish the photographs of several people we have captured, express our strongest condemnation of such acts by the Israelis, and reserve the right to use force against this terrorist act against humanity," Qusay said. ≦≧”

Let the eyes of the whole world turn to the sè list, they have done this kind of thing, look at the United States, what the world will say!

As for the cause of death of Baz and Hafez, two important Syrian figures, it is necessary to wait for Bashar to seize power, and Bashar will investigate and prove it.

While solving the Syrian issue with one hand, it has also begun to stir up contradictions between Israel and the United States, and the United States will certainly not welcome what the United States has done this time.

"On the diplomatic side, but it is more important for us to break through Damascus militarily as soon as possible, and now, the rebels in Damascus are stepping up their construction of street offensives, and the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for us, and in the street fighting, we must be prepared for casualties." Defense Minister Adnan said.

No matter how sharp the army is, in the street fighting, the casualties are also very large, Adnan is a little puzzled, originally President Qusay has always been reluctant to fight street fighting, the battle in Abadan is like this, now, if you want to liberate Damascus, street fighting is necessary, how did you start to retreat, he doesn't know, at this time, is it the most appropriate to launch an attack? The longer it drags on, the greater their casualties will be. ≦≧

It was already afternoon, and Adnan decided that it was time to mention it to the president.

"Yes, if we fight in the streets, we should do it as quickly as possible, otherwise, our casualties will increase." Qusay said: "However, it is not only our casualties, if there is a street fight, the civilians of Damascus, the casualties will also be not small, and now Riffat is actually trying to use the civilians of the whole city as hostages, if we really attack, I am afraid that we will not liberate Damascus, but destroy Damascus." ”

Street fighting, after the fighting, it will be ruins, there is no doubt about it, Iraq is going to liberate Damascus, if Damascus becomes a ruin, then I am afraid that it will have a bad reputation in the international community, and many countries, such as the sè column, absolutely want to make Iraq stink.

Therefore, Qusay has been thinking about how to avoid this kind of problem, and now that the Iraqi army has surrounded Damascus, then they have already taken the lead, as long as they do not make mistakes, this operation can be successfully completed and achieve their strategic goals. ≦≧

Then, it occurred to Kusai that the key problem that wanted to solve the current situation was to solve the key person, Rifat!

The rebellion was planned by Rifaat, and Rifaat was able to gain the support of the Fourth Panzer Division by virtue of his own identity, so as long as Rifaat can be controlled, the situation in Damascus can be controlled!

Therefore, Qusay has already thought of a solution to the problem, capture the thief first, capture the king first, use special forces, and capture Rifart!

Now, although Rifat has occupied Damascus, he only has the 4th Armored Division to defend Damascus, and his troops are mainly focused on the upcoming street fighting, so their forces are still very tight, as for the original Republican Guard guarding Damascus, even if they surrender, Rifat is absolutely not at ease to use it.

Therefore, the military force in Rifaat's hand must be very weak, and the personal personnel who guard him will not be many, plus the Fourth Armored Division is originally a second-line army, and the combat quality is not very high, so it is not very difficult to successfully capture Rifaat.

Last time, Manaf's special forces could get Assad out secretly, and even Syria's own guard forces did not find out, which confirmed their defense capabilities, which was indeed very poor, so Qusay finally made up his mind to carry out this operation.

If the operation can be successful, then the mutiny will be terminated immediately, and many innocent lives and deaths will be avoided, and if the operation is not successful, then the siege will be carried out again, at that time, it is already night, and the Iraqi army, which already has a lot of night vision equipment, has an advantage in the night battle.

The key question is to determine the exact location of Rifaat, whether it is in the Ministry of Defense, or in the Zhèngfu building, or in the General Staff. Only by determining the specific location of Rifaat can they plan a specific course of action, using helicopters, to suddenly break into the target's location, quickly carry out the arrest operation, and then evacuate.

"Yes, we want to avoid casualties, so we need to adopt new tactics to resolve this rebellion in Damascus as peacefully as possible." "My idea is to use special forces to capture Riffat!" ”

Adnan's eyes lit up, and he knew that Kusai had an idea, and sure enough, he was ingenious: "So, what are our chances of success this time?" ”

"Fifty percent at most, but we have to do 100 percent of our efforts, and tonight, we will carry out the operation, and if the operation fails, then we will carry out military operations overnight." Qusay said.

"Manav's special forces did a good job last time, can we join forces with his special forces on this operation?" Adnan proposed.

Special forces in Syria? Qusay nodded: "Yes." "In this way, it is not just a joint action, but also a deeper meaning.

At this moment, a staff officer hurried in and reported to Qusay: "There is a message from the Damascus inside, the exact location of Rifaat has been ascertained, and now he is in the Zhèngfu building." ”

"Closely monitor, order the Sidewinder special forces, immediately go to the al-Mezzeh airbase, decide on the battle plan together with the special forces of the Syrian side, and start the operation at nine o'clock in the evening." Qusay said.

"Why not the second half of the night? Then the other party is asleep. Adnan asked.

Kusai shook his head: "We surrounded the day today and did not launch an attack, Rifaat must guess that we will attack at night, then, the most suitable night is the second half of the night, so that the defenders are asleep, which is conducive to our attack, so, I speculate, their defense, the first half of the night will be very lax, they are all recuperating and preparing for the second half of the night." ”

Moreover, Qusay had another idea, the nine-point operation, and after the defeat, his troops, with seven or eight hours of night time, fought for the liberation of Damascus.
