The fighting that broke out in Mosul began in earnest only after John's forces had been wiped out.

A U.S. military battalion that entered the rescue in Mosul came under intense fire as it approached the third block of Mosul.

It was a premeditated and targeted attack, and the two sides fought fiercely in the streets.

During the fighting, two Abrams main battle tanks in the US military unit were destroyed by anti-tank missiles of the Iraqi army, and a large number of Humvees caught fire in the streets.

The fierce fighting destroyed almost the entire neighborhood, and it was not until the arrival of multiple American fighter jets that the fighting gradually subsided.

However, at the end of this day, the US troops stationed in Mosul lost hundreds of casualties, nearly 200 wounded, and lost more than one-third of their combat effectiveness.

And the fighting in Mosul is only a microcosm of the entire territory of Iraq.

In the US military high command in Iraq, Punk also received orders from all over Iraq for various battles, and many Iraqi soldiers wearing Iraqi Republican Guard uniforms engaged in fierce battles with US soldiers in various cities.

At the end of this day, hundreds of battles broke out with more than 100 people, and as many as 1,000 battles with less than 100 people.

There were also many American soldiers who were captured by the other side, and all the news came together, which immediately made Punk anxious.

The Iraqi army, which was once vulnerable, has now burst out with a powerful combat power that is not inferior to the US military, and it is still inferior to the US military in terms of equipment, but it is able to engage the US military head-on, making the US military fall into a bitter battle every time.

"General, this is the most detailed analysis results, according to the collection of all the reports, we have come to the following conclusions, the soldiers of the Iraqi Republican Guard who appeared this time all have strong individual combat capabilities, and the cooperation between operations is very tacit, with far and near firepower deployment, infantry combined with snipers or long-range firepower, which has caused us huge trouble, if it were not for our air superiority, maybe now the main cities and towns in Iraq will fall at least half."

"How many troops do they have?" Punk asked.

"There are not many of them, there should only be more than 10,000 people, but it has put our 30,000 or 40,000 troops into a bitter battle."

"Order all areas to strengthen defense, suspend security patrols in towns and cities, and all troops stationed in the ground to stand by, and at the same time order the troops in the target mountainous areas to speed up the progress of extermination." Punk rubbed his temples and ordered.

With less than ten days to go, they were about to withdraw from Iraq, and at this time, the punks did not want their troops to cause more casualties due to patrols again.

At the end of the day, the most Punk heard was the news that the patrol was under attack, so he felt that in the last few days, it would be enough to keep all the troops in the station and strengthen the defense.

As for the security and stability of the city, it will be left in a few days anyway, and it will be left to the Iraqis to deal with it themselves, and the US military does not have the energy to do so now.

When the order was issued, all the American soldiers quickly withdrew from the cities to the garrisons on the edge of the cities, and all the Iraqi people around the garrisons were also driven away.

However, just when the punks thought that they would order their troops to defend in place and that things would not deteriorate further, it was also in Mosul.

After a day of fighting, the lights in the US military garrison in Mosul were still bright, a large number of wounded soldiers were being treated, and many US soldiers in the garrison were already in a state of rest.

Only the headquarters is still brightly lit, the high walls around the station, the only entrance and exit, the huge anti-collision pier is placed at the entrance and exit, and the defensive machine gun position, the American soldiers on duty are staring seriously at the outside of the station.

Under the calm night sky, the surroundings of the US military station were quiet, exactly as usual, and there was no suspicious sign in sight.

However this one. Night, destined not to be calm, in the quiet sky, a dense stream of rockets, dragging long tails, suddenly fell towards the Mosul station.

The radar immediately sounded the alarm, but there were no anti-aircraft missile units at all in the station, and there was almost no way to defend against the large number of rockets falling in the sky under the sky.

When the US soldiers quickly got up from their beds, in the sky, dense rockets had already landed in the US military camp.

The dense rocket fire turned the station into a sea of fire, many barracks were burned, and some Humvees were destroyed, causing some casualties among soldiers.

And this attack was not over, and by the time the first round of rockets arrived, more rockets flew over, and the number was even more alarming.

In just a moment, the entire garrison was devastated, several sections of the wall collapsed directly, and the gate of the garrison was directly destroyed by intensive fire.

The position of the headquarters in the station was also hit by a rocket, but fortunately, the rocket only blew up part of the equipment and did not cause any casualties to the headquarters.

However, one of the rockets landed on the power generation equipment of the US military station, and after the huge explosion, the power system of the entire station was directly paralyzed.

Inside the station, except for the burning fire, the rest of the place was suddenly pitch black.

Fortunately, the emergency lighting system of the US military station was quickly turned on, and the lighting system with its own power storage equipment was turned on one after another, and the damage control unit also ran quickly after the rocket attack stopped.

There was no need for anyone to give special orders, and many American soldiers joined in the work of stopping the loss, extinguishing the flames and rescuing the wounded.

Combatants quickly receive weapons and ammunition to prepare for new threats that may arise next.

At the same time, behind a hill far away from the US military station, two people were paying attention to the situation in the US military station from a distance, and after seeing a large number of US soldiers in the station, and did not panic, one of the two said: "These US soldiers are of good quality, and in this case, there is such good discipline. ”

"Is the next attack plan canceled?" Another person on the side asked.

"Cancel it, there will be no good results if the attack continues, everyone has already taken out their weapons and is ready to fight."

"It's a shame, I'm going to see more fireworks." The other said with some regret.

"If it weren't for the fact that we only have one or two hundred people, and we don't have any heavy weapons, we can directly bulldoze this station, but there is nothing to be ashamed of, today's day is already a big harvest."
