Chapter 728: The People's War

"Mr. President, I wonder if you have heard of the People's War?" Shostakovich said to Saddam.

People's War! The proposer of this set of military theories was the founding leader of China! This was founded by Huaxia in the arduous war!

The strength of the masses of the people is inexhaustible, and only by relying on the broad masses of the people and pulling the enemy into the vast sea of the people's war will the enemy be defeated!

Looking at the current situation, the current situation facing Iraq will be very similar to that of China at the beginning, for the Iraqis, the United States is a complete aggressor, and the Americans have an advantage in weapons at the same time.

A living example of this war is the war in Afghanistan just a few years ago, the invasion of the Soviet Union was unjust, the Afghan people united to resist the invasion of the Soviets, although the Soviet Union quickly defeated the Afghan government army, the puppet government that was raised, but fell into the ocean of people's war, constantly attacked by the guerrillas, dragged down, and finally the Soviets had to withdraw.

War must be supported by advanced military concepts! Now the military concept put forward by Shostakovich is the people's war!

Saddam shook his head: "I'm sorry, I haven't heard of it. ”

As a hero of the Arab world, a great man like Saladin, he was familiar with various allusions recorded in the Qur'an, but not with the ideas of the Eastern countries.

"People's war is to organize and arm the broad masses of the people to wage war in order to seek class liberation or resist foreign aggression. This kind of war conforms to the fundamental interests of the oppressed classes and nations and is the driving force for the development of human history. With the people's army as the backbone and relying on the broad masses of the people to wage a people's war, this is a highly effective war situation. Shostakovich said.

Hearing this, Saddam Hussein was even more confused. Looking at Shostakovich with an innocent face, is he too stupid?

As a result, Shostakovich could only say something else: "To put it simply, it is to mobilize the masses of the people to fight the Americans together!" For example, we can give weapons to the people. In this way, once the Americans really come in, in addition to our regular army, our people can also fight the Americans together! ”

It turns out that the people are also coming to fight the Americans! Doesn't that make sense? Saddam Hussein nodded with relief: "That's not a bad idea, Ibrahim, we can count those excellent young men who are full of hatred for the United States and want to join our army, but can't satisfy their wishes." We can send them the weapons first. ”

Iraq's army, after the Iran-Iraq war, has expanded into a huge army of more than one million people, but there are still many young men who are enthusiastic about fighting and are not qualified to enter the army, so they can just be given weapons, although heavy weapons are not good. Those AK47s that the army eliminated or something, there are still a lot of them in the warehouse.

"Yes." Ibrahim said.

In fact. The risk of issuing weapons to the people is very high, and who knows if there will be opportunists among the people? Take the weapons that were issued, and then rebel against the government? Even if it's just a robbery or something, it will make social order chaotic. For now, though, the focus is on confronting the Americans. The five or six hundred thousand troops are really not a joke.

So, after a short period of consideration, Saddam decided to start with the most active young men and issue them weapons.

The air strikes of the Americans continued. Riding in an inconspicuous car and quietly leaving Baghdad, Shostakovich was still a little uneasy in his heart, what are Iraq's chances of winning in this upcoming war?

The United States, after all, is the most powerful country in the world, once their war machine is completely launched, it can be a tie with the Soviet Union, and now it is used to deal with a small Iraq, this kind of war, is there any suspense?

Iraq is bound to fail! Saddam, the "hero" of the Middle East, will eventually be crucified by the United States to the crosses of history.

Ninety-three, November 3.

Gwadar Port, Pakistan.

"Pour, pour, pour!" A soldier standing on a high place commanded the huge M1 main battle tank, with the gas turbine engine roaring in the tail, and the tracks moved one after another, slowly upward, upside down into the belly of the huge monster.

Almost a few centimeters away from the tank in front, the tank stopped with the crunch of brakes, and the people next to him took the fixing rope and fixed it with the hook on the ground, and for a while, after takeoff, once it loosened, it was no joke.

One after another, as the main battle tank continued to retreat onto this ground effect aircraft, the countdown to attack was also constantly beating.

These were the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division of the Seventh Army of the US Army, and the 1st Armored Division, which was supposed to lead the way, had to retreat and become a reserve force due to heavy losses in the last Gulf War.

Although this is a mechanized infantry division, but the combat effectiveness is also quite strong, as can be seen from the number is the first, this mechanized infantry division nicknamed Dahong, was born in 1917 during the First World War, when it was known as the 1st Expeditionary Division of the United States. The total number of the division is 18,000, mainly including 1 armored brigade; 2 mechanized infantry brigades with a total of 5 heavy tank battalions; 5 mechanized infantry battalions; 1 combat aviation brigade.

As the most important armored combat vehicle of the US army, there are 290 M1 main battle tanks; 380 M2 infantry fighting vehicles and M3 cavalry fighting vehicles, 692 other armored vehicles; It also includes 127 helicopters of various types, including AH-64 attack helicopters, AH-1 attack helicopters, and UH-60B multi-role helicopters.

Such a mechanized infantry division is almost catching up with the assault capability of an armored division in Huaxia, and now, the task they have to complete is also the most arduous and glorious.

Go straight to Baghdad and capture Saddam!

Now, ten large ground effect aircraft are loading these big guys in the port, although the first wave can only transport 80 main battle tanks, but, after reconnaissance by the United States, there are no heavy troops near Baghdad in Iraq! When they arrive, they will go straight to the heart of Iraq!

And when the second and third groups of troops arrive, they will completely eliminate the Saddam regime!

Moreover, if the Iraqi side is unprepared, the second group will arrive in the middle of the night, and the third group will arrive tomorrow morning, so that the Americans have a strong infantry division, which is enough to encircle and annihilate Baghdad!

It's a risky move, but it's better to be better and surprising!

Seeing these tanks constantly on board, the commander of the First Mechanized Infantry Division also sighed a little, the United States, the most technologically developed country, actually does not have this kind of ground-effect aircraft! If there were fifty of these ground-effect aircraft, one wave, the entire armored division would have been transported!

Two hours later, the preparations were over, and the American GIs, with camouflage paste on their faces, sat on these ground-effect aircraft, waiting to depart.

"Buzz, buzz." With the roar of the TF-41 engine, the first ground-effect aircraft began to glide on the water, the speed became faster and faster, the lift engine in front continued to exert force, and an air cushion was slowly formed under the fuselage, and the entire aircraft slowly came out of the water and flew up on the sea surface.

Through the porthole, looking outside, the American GIs were still a little excited, this ground effect aircraft is really amazing!

Ground effect aircraft one after another, constantly leaving the water, flying fast over the sea, they will go all the way west, into the Persian Gulf!

In the rear, the fighter planes on the airport also began to take off, although the ground effect aircraft was a surprise attack, and the altitude was very low, it also needed to be escorted by fighters, and there were more than 500 American soldiers on this ground effect aircraft, even if one was destroyed, it was not something that the United States could tolerate.

The American war machine, at last, has begun to turn, and the battle is about to be staged again!

Islamabad.

I don't know when lighting a cigarette has become a way for Mhammad to think about things.

Xiao's report has been sent back, except for the decentralization of command, Lao Sa is not very willing, the rest of the suggestions, Lao Sa has already heeded, especially the transfer of the two most combat-ready armored divisions from Kuwait to defend Baghdad.

Even if the Americans had air support, these two armored divisions could still delay the Americans' movements as long as they stayed on the outskirts of Baghdad and did not engage in field battles with the Americans.

However, something always felt wrong.

Mhammad has been pondering, the Americans this time is a surprise attack, only using the strength of one infantry division, what about the rest of the hundreds of thousands of troops? The Americans are really angry this time!

Some of the Saudi Arabians, in order to prevent being attacked by Iraqi Scud missiles, have taken refuge in Riyadh West, and even if these armored units move now, it will take a day or two to reach the border area, right?

The Americans' attack this time is too strange, only such a force is attacking, it doesn't look like a plan formulated by the Americans who are invincible all over the world?

What other tricks should they have besides this surprise attack, and what is it?

Looking at this map, Mhammad was thinking, if Iraq falls, will the Americans directly occupy it?

Of course not! The Americans must install a puppet government! And this puppet government, naturally, was formed by the Kurds in northern Iraq, and Lao Sa even used chemical weapons in order to prevent the division of the Kurds!

Northern Iraq? Right! It's northern Iraq! What did Mahmad suddenly realize, in the Middle East, the Americans also have helpers! It's Israel, Turkey! (To be continued.) )
