The offensive operations of the joint forces deployed on the Arab Eastern Front, located near the coast, were launched four hours later than the 310th Division of the PLA Army and the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force on the left. As in the case of the 310th Division, the Iraqi army was still in front of the cluster, which was a strong defensive zone. In addition to large minefields and barbed wire, there are also trenches filled with fuel. Although the Arab coalition forces on the Eastern Front lacked the same means of demining as the US military and the PLA, their sappers still used manual demining methods and successfully opened six safe passages in the Iraqi minefield before launching an attack.

At 8 a.m. on the day of the operation, the Joint Arab Forces on the Eastern Front began their offensive. The Iraqi army's fuel- or water-filled trenches, which were considered to pose a great threat before the war, were easily crossed by the multinational forces. Coalition Arab sappers used bulldozers and tanks equipped with razors to fill the trenches, quickly rendering the barrier ineffective. As a result, in just a few hours, the multinational force broke through what the Iraqi army thought was an impregnable defensive line.

In the initial offensive, the Saudi 8th and 10th Mechanized Brigades captured their respective targets. At the end of the first day, the combined forces on the Eastern Front had captured all the intended targets and captured thousands of Iraqi officers and soldiers. Judging from the combat results, the combat effectiveness of this unit, which is composed of soldiers from Arab countries, is no less than that of the better-equipped US troops.

The Joint Forces on the Northern Front (between the Second Eastern Theater and the Central Theater, mainly composed of Egyptian, Saudi and other Arab forces) was one of the last to launch an offensive among the multinational force clusters. At 4 p.m. on the day of the operation, the Egyptian 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division, Khalid and Musana within the cluster began an offensive against Iraqi positions in Kuwait. Soon, Saudi and Kuwaiti forces also went on the offensive. Upon crossing the border with Kosha, these forces were blocked by Iraqi fire trenches, minefields, obstacles and instructive fire. Fearing a counter-charge from Iraqi armoured forces, the Egyptian forces halted their advance while they were still some distance from their initial objective and set up a blocking position for the night.

At the same time, the follow-up Egyptian 4th Panzer Division was preparing to follow up behind the 3rd Egyptian Mechanized Division. The 9th Syrian Panzer Division, acting as a reserve for the combined forces on the Northern Front, followed up behind the 2 Egyptian divisions and carried out screen operations on the right flank with 1 reconnaissance battalion, establishing and maintaining contact with the 310th Division of the PLA Army and the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force of the US Army.

At the beginning of the Multinational Force's ground offensive, Iraqi ground forces remained in defensive positions in the Kuwaiti theater of operations without any signs of retreat. The Iraqi Army's front-line units, including the 7th, 14th, and 29th Infantry Divisions of the Iraqi Army, located in front of the 310th Division and the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, and the 19th Infantry Division of the Iraqi Army, located in front of the Combined Forces of the Multinational Force's Eastern Front, put up sporadic but sometimes stubborn resistance.

However, because the Multinational Force advanced at an alarming rate, and most of them bypassed the fortified areas of the Iraqi army, and isolated the Iraqi army from the depth, this forced the Iraqi army to either retreat or surrender to the multinational force. Although the Iraqi army suffered a great setback at the beginning of the battle, the Iraqi 3rd Army, which was deployed on the Eastern Front, and the Iraqi 4th Army, which was deployed in front of the combined forces on the Northern Front, still carried out local counterattacks. In particular, the Iraqi Army's 3rd Armored Division, which is responsible for guarding the area south of Kuwait International Airport, is the unit that has resisted fiercely and on the largest scale on various battlefields since the outbreak of the Desert Sabre.

The Iraqi Army's 3rd Armored Division has invested about 100 tanks, including some MBT-1000 Rhino I main battle tanks from China North Industries, which even the US Marines and Arab coalition forces have to be careful to deal with. The 310th Division invested a number of infantry battalions and tank units to encircle and besiege the Iraqi tanks protruding from the fortifications from the left and right flanks.

At the beginning of the battle, the Rhino II tanks of the 310th Division dealt a severe blow to the tanks of the 3rd Armored Division of the Iraqi Army, and under the continuous blows of the penetrating armor-piercing shells, more than a dozen Iraqi tanks were blown up or withdrew from the battle. However, it is precisely because of the large scale that the armored units of the 310th Division, which is slightly inexperienced, are slightly rigid and rigid when maneuvering on the battlefield, so that after the first wave of successful strikes, they fought with the tanks of the Iraqi army, and staggered and bombarded each other within a range of several hundred meters.

There is no doubt that the MBT-2000 tank is much more advanced than the Iraqi tank, and even such a chaotic battle has played a huge role and power, but such a melee has also caused losses in the armored corps of the 310th Division.

A Rhino II tank had just blown down an Iraqi Type 69 tank more than 200 meters away from it, but its flanks were exposed under the muzzle of an Iraqi MBT-1000 Rhino I. The Iraqi tank opened fire and hit the side armor of the Rhino II, which was apparently not thick enough to withstand the 125mm guns of its predecessor. Fortunately, due to the good protection, the automatic fire extinguishing system was immediately activated, and the crew crawled out of the tank in a dizziness, and no one was killed and only one person was seriously injured. The armoured men were quickly rescued by nearby friendly vehicles, while the Iraqi tank, which had a sudden cold arrow, was blown up by another MBT-2000.

The melee lasted for more than 20 minutes, and finally relying on the double superiority of the quantity and quality of the armored troops of the 310th Division, this Iraqi tank unit was completely annihilated, destroying and damaging 102 tanks of the other side, but this side also suffered the first loss in the war, three MBT-2000 tanks were destroyed, two of which were blown up by their own initiative after losing their combat capability. In this battle, there were finally casualties, one tank driver was unfortunately killed, and more than a dozen people were slightly and seriously injured.

Even though the battle loss ratio was very large, the commander who launched the attack still made a review, and in the case of the Iraqi army's tanks advancing on a large scale and being separated from the protection of fortifications, the strong air and ground superiority of the multinational force would make it difficult for the Iraqi army's counterattack to be effective. They are directly exposed to the air strikes of the multinational forces, and although the armored units of the 310th Division are closer, they still have the option to summon air strikes from the navy or air force, and even contact the army aviation units at the division headquarters, which is much smarter than fighting the enemy to the flesh like this.

However, in the eyes of many, this was a victory worth celebrating, especially since the Joint Operations Command also gave commendation and praise to the 310th Division. On the first day of the battle, most of the divisions suffered some sporadic casualties, but they were not much, and the 310th Division did not suffer many losses in comparison, but the results were dazzling.

At this time, the Iraqi army was already cornered, such as the 3rd Armored Division left the fortifications to fight, either in the face of superior air strikes and the total annihilation of the army, or in the face of stronger ground forces being eliminated; If you don't leave the fortifications, you can only sit and wait. This is the dilemma faced by the Iraqi army. With the exception of the 3rd Panzer Division, a large number of Iraqi 3rd Army soldiers surrendered, and many units of the Iraqi army have lost the will to fight.

Since the Eastern Front is the area directly facing the Kuwait theater of operations, the resistance faced by the US Marine Corps First Expeditionary Force, the PLA 310 Division, and the Arab coalition forces on this side is the fiercest in the battlefield on several fronts. On the second day of Operation Desert Sabre, the U.S. 1st Marine Expeditionary Force also encountered the most stubborn resistance of the Iraqi army since the ground offensive.

In the offensive zone of the 2nd Marine Division, the U.S. 6th Marine Regiment repelled a counterattack launched by the Iraqi 3rd Armored Division and the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division through a combination of distance air support, artillery, tank, and anti-tank missile firepower. Before launching a counterattack, the two Iraqi divisions established defensive positions on the heights north and northwest of Kuwait City, as well as in an area covered with buildings and fences.

Due to the long-term air strikes of the multinational forces, the 3rd Armored Division was hit by the 310th Division yesterday and lost more than 100 tanks, so when the Iraqi troops of these two divisions launched a counter-assault attack on the US 6th Marine Regiment, their actual combat strength had been reduced to less than one heavy brigade.

What is even more tragic is that at the beginning of the counter-assault operation, the Iraqi army was again blocked by the powerful air force of the multinational forces, with the Tiger Brigade of the US 2nd Marine Division on the left, the 6th Marine Regiment in the center, and the 8th Marine Regiment on the right flank. Unlike yesterday, the weather deteriorated on the second day of the operation, and the Iraqi army lit oil wells in order to consolidate the defenses, and the pillars of fire and billowing smoke made the visibility on the battlefield only a few meters away. Despite this, the U.S. forces quickly gained the upper hand with the high-performance optical viewers equipped on the M1A1 tanks, and finally crushed the stubborn resistance of the two Iraqi divisions and quickly occupied the area.

On the right flank of the offensive zone of the US 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, the PLA 310th Division once again encountered the stubborn counterattack of the Iraqi army near the Burgan oil field.

In this battle, the commander of the ground forces learned the lessons of yesterday and, on the premise that the reconnaissance air vessels had grasped the enemy's movements in advance, called a formation of naval air carrier-based stealth attack planes to carry out a precise attack on the enemy forces guarding the oil fields. In the land battle, the 310th Division's fighting style has also become more flexible and changeable, and the command staff has used small-scale armored units to begin to intersperse and eat away at the Iraqi army's stubborn strength on the periphery. They constantly attacked the enemy in different directions, leaving the enemy exhausted, and finally the main armored forces penetrated into the core of the defensive line, destroying the enemy's resistance in one fell swoop.

At the end of the battle, the 310th Division destroyed more than 100 Iraqi armored vehicles and captured more than 1,500 Iraqi soldiers. Judging from the combat record, the 310th Division is already the most fruitful unit in the desert saber operation. By midnight, the division had completed the consolidation of the airfield after the capture of Ahmad Jabel and advanced to a distance of only 16 kilometers from Kuwait City.

In the early hours of the second day of the operation, the Joint Arab Forces on the Eastern Front also continued to advance northward. Without encountering stubborn resistance from the Iraqi army, the intended target was captured with very few casualties. Due to the surrender of a large number of Iraqi soldiers, some units were forced to slow down their advance due to the reception of prisoners of war, and what was more helpless was that behind the 310th Division there was a Red Alert Fast Anti-Brigade, which was specially responsible for sheltering prisoners, but they encountered all those who resisted to the death, while the Arab coalition side was basically the enemy army and surrendered, but the strength was overstretched.

Contingents "Omar" and "Ottoman" within the formation of the Joint Forces on the Eastern Front continued in the direction of Kuwait City. Qatar's troops, as reserves of the combined forces on the Eastern Front, followed in the rear of the "Omar" contingent.

The Joint Arab Forces on the Northern Front continued to advance. At about 4 a.m. on the second day, the Egyptian troops continued to break the barrier and advance towards their initial target, and only after night did they capture a 16-square-kilometer bridgehead in the Iraqi defensive position, but still failed to capture the original target on time.

At the same time, Task Force Khalid within the Joint Forces on the Northern Front continued to break the barrier and advance towards its intended targets. By the end of the day, Saudi and Kuwaiti forces on the right flank of the Joint Forces front on the Northern Front had made significant progress, capturing their intended targets and consolidating their positions. The Syrian 9th Armored Division provided the necessary support to the front-line forces as a cluster reserve, and its reconnaissance battalion continued to carry out its shielding mission along the combat demarcation line between the Combined Forces on the Northern Front and the U.S. 1st Marine Expeditionary Force.
