In the US military camp in Mosul, the US military colonel, who is responsible for maintaining local law and order, came to the headquarters as soon as the news from Street John arrived.

The satellite has transmitted the scene on the street back to the command.

Two tanks and dozens of armed soldiers from the outside world were approaching the alley where John and the others were hidden.

"When will the air fighters arrive?" The colonel asked.

"One minute left." The Signal Soldier replied quickly.

"Immediately report the situation here to the High Command in Iraq." The colonel gave another order, and then asked everyone in the command very seriously: "Who can tell me now how these two tanks and those Iraqi soldiers appeared?" ”

Mosul, the city they have long figured out, when actually hid two tanks and dozens of soldiers of the Iraqi Republican Guard.

It's just puzzling.

However, none of the people present could answer this question, and it was an unanswerable thing in the first place, because no one knew about it at all.

At this time, the communication soldiers were in a hurry. Urging the report: "Report Colonel, a support fighter who was approaching Mosul, was shot down. ”

"What, what's going on?" When the colonel heard this, the whole person was not well, and hurriedly asked.

"It was two surface-to-air missiles and the plane crashed. Fall, the pilot parachuted, and the Air Force wanted us to go to the rescue of the parachutist right away. The Signal Soldier replied quickly.

"Damn, order all the troops to assemble urgently, a battalion will enter Mosul at once, take out the enemy in the city, and the commandos will go to the rescue of the pilots......"

The U.S. troops in Mosul moved quickly, the howling sirens sounded, and three Abrams main battle tanks quickly drove out of the camp and entered Mosul, and a large number of U.S. soldiers, riding in Humvees and armored vehicles, also left the camp.

Several Black Hawk helicopters, with some U.S. soldiers, flew towards the crash site.

The operation unfolded in an orderly manner, but for John and others, who were fighting the enemy in Mosul, every minute and every second was an ordeal.

With tanks and infantry on both sides, John decisively abandoned the street defense, took all the soldiers, and retreated into a building on the side of the street, with the help of the building to build a defensive line, waiting for help to arrive.

By this time John had already known that the fighters that had come to support him had been destroyed, but there was already a battalion of ground troops that were rushing towards them.

Fierce fighting unfolded in the streets, and the hidden buildings of John and others were attacked by dense fire.

The walls were quickly filled with bullet holes, and the huge power of the tank guns blew out large holes in the exterior walls of the building.

"Reinforcements arrive in three minutes, and they all hold on." John shouted loudly to all his men, and just as he finished speaking, one of the soldiers beside him was shot through the head by a bullet while suppressing enemy fire on the street.

On a vantage point across the street, John saw a flashing black shadow, and he immediately shouted, "There are snipers, be careful." ”

This is a depressing battle, because of the opponent's tanks, the advantage of the Humvee is completely non-existent, if it were not for these two tanks, with the speed and firepower of the Humvee, and the protection, they would have completely killed them directly.

But there are no ifs in this world, and under the powerful fire attack, the security of this building has become precarious.

The American soldiers around John fell one by one, most of them under the shelling of the tanks, and the opposing infantry had already rushed into the four-story building under the cover of the tanks.

Inside the building, a close-range shootout ensued.

At the beginning of the battle in the building, the fighting qualities shown by these Iraqi soldiers wearing the camouflage uniforms of the Iraqi Republican Guard made the US soldiers in the building suffer a big loss.

It was not at all the same as the Iraqi soldiers who had rushed around, and they were very good at fighting in the building, with a large number of grenades opening the way, as well as various special grenades, such as stun grenades and flashbangs, and several American soldiers fell in pools of blood at the beginning of the hand-to-hand encounter.

John could only further gather his troops and concentrate on defending the last floor of the building, and at this moment, there were only eleven American soldiers gathered around John, and only twelve including him.

When they came out, thirty-two men were very complete, and only a few minutes had passed since the battle, and twenty men were already lying under their guns.

"Damn, these are definitely not simple Iraqi soldiers, they are all sharpshooters, and they have a lot of combat experience, which is not at all comparable to the Iraqi army we have encountered, even if it is a special forces." An American soldier beside John, who had a lot of blood on his body, said with palpitations.

Although the combat effectiveness and quality of US GIs can be called the world's top soldiers, although this point is often covered by advanced weaponry and mature tactics, the combat quality of US soldiers is also one of the core factors supporting the strong strength of the US military.

John was also very surprised that he had lost several of his subordinates in just one contact, but he didn't think too much about it now, and ordered: "We only need to hold this staircase now and wait for help to arrive." ”

There is only one staircase leading to the fourth floor, and the Iraqi army below must come up from this staircase if they want to attack the fourth floor.

However, as soon as John's words fell, a flash shock bomb was thrown up from below, and the person who threw the shock bomb was obviously carefully calculated.

The flash shock bomb that was coming up by someone had not yet landed, and exploded in mid-air, with strong light and impact, and the dozen or so American soldiers at the staircase were dizzy, their heads were also blank in an instant, and they were all white in front of them.

At the same time, several Iraqi soldiers rushed up at the top of the staircase, and at the same time quickly pulled the trigger, and seven or eight American soldiers fell directly in a pool of blood.

The attack came too suddenly, and the means also caught John and others off guard, and when the surviving American troops regained their sight again, they saw the Iraqi soldiers in front of them, with the muzzle of a gun on their heads.

Before John and the other three surviving American soldiers could speak, they felt a tingling pain in their necks, and the last time they fainted, they saw an Iraqi soldier behind him, inserting a syringe into his neck, and then all consciousness slowly disappeared.
