As early as the invasion of Iraq by the coalition forces, many international military analysts conducted a detailed analysis of the direction of the war.

This kind of analysis is very detailed step by step compared to the analysis given by the future military resource company.

On the night of the coalition air raid on Iraq, some military experts claimed on the Internet that in order to avoid ground operations and reduce casualties, the coalition forces would only deploy ground troops after a long period of bombing.

However, the fact is that the coalition forces took a ground offensive on the first day, because the war was not the Yugoslav war of that year, and the coalition forces had full confidence in the Iraqi army from the beginning, and a large number of senior Iraqi military generals were bribed.

If it is a prolonged bombardment and then put into the ground troops, it will give the Iraqi army more time to react.

At the outbreak of the war, a voice said that the US troops rushed into the ground battle and would inevitably suffer heavy casualties, but the result was that before the war reached Baghdad, the coalition forces suffered very few casualties, while the Iraqi army collapsed.

Some people also say that the Iraqi army has learned the lessons of the first Gulf War and seems to be passive and conservative, but in fact it is rational and effective, luring the enemy to go deeper, preserving its strength, and striving to hold on. Long.

The fact is that the Iraqi army has collapsed and fled home. Only a small number of officers and soldiers and outlaws from abroad put up a stubborn resistance. Among them, the Iraqi army, disguised as civilians, successfully ambushed a lost U.S. military repair team.

Other analysts said that the Iraqi army was learning from the experience of the war of resistance in the east, sparing the enemy's large forces, and preparing to sneak attack the enemy's logistical supply lines.

As a result, it was clear that the coalition supply lines were very open, and after sufficient supplies, they always maintained a posture of attacking in a big way.

Some people also predicted that the Iraqi army would wage guerrilla warfare against the attacking US troops, and the Iraqi militia armed forces numbered 250,000 in peacetime and have now multiplied.

The airstrikes caused a large number of civilian casualties. Almost every citizen of Baghdad buys weapons, and everyone hates the enemy, and all the people are soldiers, and they want to drown the US troops in the vast sea of people's war.

As a result, the war developed without any sign of guerrilla warfare. In the cities captured by coalition forces, many Iraqi people took to the streets to welcome the US troops. In cities not captured by coalition forces, many Iraqis come and go at coalition checkpoints and talk cordially without the slightest hostility.

Some people predict that the Iraqi army will clear the walls along the main communication routes, blow up bridges, dams, and bury mines on roads to block the US attack.

Under the development of the war, the US military attacked the road without strong walls and clear fields, the bridges and dams were intact, and the roads were not seriously mined.

It was also said that a complete bridge would be better able to lure and injure U.S. troops and facilitate the Iraqi counteroffensive.

But in fact, the Iraqi troops defending the bridge were beaten to death by the US military and were able to flee, and after the US military seized the bridge, the large force drove straight in.

It was also said that the Iraqi people were predicted to attack the United States with suicide bombings in protest against the aggression.

As a result, suicide attacks are isolated incidents.

Some analysts said that we cannot defend passively, and that we must take advantage of the fact that the US military has not yet gained a firm foothold and cannot be supplied to take the initiative to attack and strike at the US military, so that we can turn passivity into initiative.

The Republican Guard in Iraq took the initiative and suffered heavy losses and suffered a devastating blow.

Others said that the anti-war voices of the people in the United States are growing louder and louder, and that the US troops are insufficient, are not accustomed to sandstorms, and their morale is low, and they will not dare to attack Baghdad until a certain number of troops are assembled. And it is necessary to carry out a siege for a certain period of time first.

The morale of the American troops was high, and the 3rd Division attacked Saddam Hussein airfield and advanced into Baghdad without waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

At this time, some people said that Iraq was shrinking its defense and preserving its strength, and the Republican Guard would definitely fight a decisive battle against the US army outside Baghdad.

However, the Iraqi army has long since collapsed and has not been able to organize a decent defense. U.S. troops successfully stormed Baghdad.

When the coalition forces entered Baghdad, some people said that the US troops did not care about their heads and did not understand tactics, but only knew how to rush in. The Iraqi elite troops are luring the enemy deeper, and the Iraqi army has built strong fortifications in Baghdad and will inflict heavy casualties on the US troops in street fighting. Baghdad is bound to become the graveyard of the US military.

However, when the coalition forces entered Baghdad, the Iraqi army resisted slightly, did not build decent strong fortifications, and the US tank detachment entered and exited several times, but no one could stop it, and there was no fierce street fighting in Baghdad.

Until a few hours earlier, it had been predicted that the Iraqi army would break into pieces, burrow into residential areas and tunnels, and use urban guerrilla warfare against American troops.

All kinds of analyses and speculations are completely contrary to the facts, until this last guess.

The coalition losses in a few minutes inside Baghdad exceeded the total casualties of all military operations in the past three weeks.

This has shrouded the entire coalition army in a layer of haze.

In the face of such facts, the reaction of the international community has been quite bland, as if only such a result is the most normal.

In fact, Iraq's million-strong army, it is widely believed that the coalition forces will pay a significant price.

It's just that the previous war was too unexpected for everyone, and now there are things that make everyone feel normal, and it is more like a matter of course.

Isn't this the case that many experts who have previously misanalyzed the situation and say that the Iraqi army's preparatory tactics will quickly inflict more casualties on the coalition forces.

In fact, as these experts analyzed.

While the coalition forces in Baghdad suffered heavy losses, coalition forces elsewhere in Iraq were also attacked by large and small forces.

Three logistics transit points of the coalition forces in Iraq were attacked, not only killing and wounding soldiers, but also destroying weapons, ammunition, and fuel at the logistics transit points to a certain extent.

In the cities captured by the coalition forces, many American soldiers on duty also died under the guns of snipers.

On this night in Iraq time, a large number of American soldiers were killed by snipers and images of attacks were found on the Internet.

According to the statistics of good people, on this night, at least 600 soldiers of the coalition army were killed, thousands were wounded, a large number of weapons, ammunition and fuel were blown up, and heavy losses were taken.

Of course, on that night, the US military also carried out large-scale air strikes on Baghdad and other cities, dispatching more than 600 fighter sorties, causing huge losses to many large cities in Iraq and injuring many civilians.

Baghdad is also a key air raid city, and throughout the night, the sound of explosions and the roar of fighter jets echoed in Baghdad.

Opposite the hotel where Fan Yize lived, two presidential palaces were also hit by several guided bombs in the air raid, and the flames soared into the sky.
