Just take out Saddam Hussein, and that's it.

This seems to have become a lingering obsession of the US military, and it is also the basic requirement of the Pentagon for US troops stationed in Iraq.

However, because of this requirement, the US military stationed in Iraq has constantly put combat troops into the target mountainous areas.

By the time the battle had lasted for three days, more than 5,000 American soldiers had been killed and more than 10,000 wounded.

However, in this mountainous area, the US military still did not find any specific clues about Saddam, and from the few prisoners who were finally caught, it can be determined that Saddam Hussein was in this mountainous area, but the US military still does not know exactly where he is hidden.

The confirmation that Saddam Hussein was within the encirclement made the US military even more reluctant to give up easily, even though the number of casualties was approaching 20,000, but the US military still did not choose to give up.

On the fourth day of the battle, the US Army sent tens of thousands of reinforcements, increasing the number of troops encircling the mountainous areas to 100,000.

But on that very day, attacks against U.S. troops were everywhere throughout Iraq.

Moreover, this attack is completely different from the previous guerrilla warfare, and the perpetrators of the attack did not care about the cost of casualties at all, in order to inflict maximum casualties on the US troops stationed in Iraq, and a large number of suicide bombs appeared for this purpose.

In just one day, several US military transport convoys were destroyed, and US patrols in many cities were attacked by car bombs, causing heavy casualties.

Even the U.S. military in Iraq was hit by a large number of suicide car bombs.

At the end of the day, a large number of casualty statistics were placed in front of Punk, which gave him a deep headache.

The fighting in the target mountains has not yet been fruitful, the US military is paying the price of blood every moment, and now attacks on the US military are breaking out everywhere throughout Iraq.

Even in the cities of Baghdad, there were demonstrations, with large numbers of Iraqis protesting in front of the Iraqi interim government holding signs with the slogan "Get out of Iraq."

The US military assisted the Iraqi interim government, and the provisional government army that was being formed even mutinied, resulting in the injury of some US military instructors, although the situation was finally controlled, but it also made the US military understand that the Iraqi interim government is difficult to count on.

The whole of Iraq seemed to be in chaos all at once, with attacks and gunfire everywhere, even more chaotic than it was at the most chaotic time since the outbreak of the Iraq war.

"General, this is obviously a sabotage operation commanded by Saddam, perhaps we are about to touch Saddam, and he can't sit still at all, and intends to use this means to force us to withdraw our troops from the target mountainous area in order to stabilize the overall security situation in Iraq."

In front of Punk, the chief of staff of the US military in Iraq said very seriously.

"I also think so, the current Pentagon order for us is not to write to kill Saddam Hussein at all costs, so the situation in Iraq can only be put aside for now." Punk said.

"But we also have to guard against the situation in various parts of Iraq, and according to intelligence, there are a large number of soldiers of the former Iraqi Republican Guard, who are secretly massing, and this may be a ferocious counteroffensive."

"Their elite troops have been contained in the target mountains, and there is just a group of scattered Republican Guard soldiers outside, and what kind of storm can they make." Punk said with some contempt.

The Republican Guard, although it was an opponent valued by the U.S. military from the beginning, was too vulnerable to attack.

On the contrary, it is the secret force around Saddam Hussein, which is super difficult.

Therefore, the punks have always focused on Saddam's side, and as for the Republican Guard, if they do not carry out attacks, if they want to confront the US military head-on, they are hitting stones with eggs.

"General, don't be careless, there is intelligence that at the beginning of our military operation, some units of the Republican Guard secretly hid their weapons and equipment, and if they organize an effective attack, it will be a big threat to us."

"I know exactly what you mean, and I'm not worried about that at all, if the Republican Guard can resurrect it, I have a way to destroy this spark completely." Punk said confidently.

Because the information about the secret assembly of the Iraqi Republican Guard, the punk has known for a long time.

For such a force that has been broken up and wants to regroup, Punk does not see any threat from such an enemy.

Although the US military in Iraq has committed 10 troops to the target mountainous area, there are also 70,000 or 80,000 troops available in various major cities in Iraq.

And a large number of air bases in the surrounding area can also dispatch a large number of fighters at any time to deal a fatal blow to the Republican Guard.

Even a resurgence would never threaten the survival of the US military in Iraq.

And in Punk's view, this is also Saddam's last means of resistance, as the US military's actions in the target mountainous area intensified, Saddam Hussein has also felt the difficulty of his survival, so he has also adopted various countermeasures, in order to attract the 100,000 US troops in the target mountainous area.

Therefore, Punk believes that he must not fall for Saddam, especially at this critical time, Punk knows the meaning of the four words "Siege Wei and Save Zhao" very well.

At the same time, in Saddam's secret command headquarters, Saddam, who was constantly paying attention to the situation on the entire battlefield, suddenly raised the corners of his mouth after learning about the movements of the US military.

From the very beginning, the target mountainous area was a huge decoy, in order to attract the US military as much as possible, and at the same time, to inflict heavy damage on the US military in that mountainous area.

On the other hand, Saddam Hussein also started another part of the plan throughout Iraq, and this link is called flowering on all sides.

Saddam Hussein is not at all in the mountainous area that the US military considers to be the target, and the Red Police Corps in that mountainous area can hold out for a long time and will not be easily wiped out by the US military.

A large number of Red Guard regiments lurking across Iraq have also begun to gather, disguised as Iraqi Republican Guard soldiers, to call on Saddam Hussein's supporters scattered throughout Iraq.

Although the U.S. military was supported by many Iraqis when it first invaded Iraq, a large number of Iraqis have realized that the arrival of the U.S. military has not brought about so-called freedom and democracy, but has brought about war.

This has made many Iraqis begin to regret it, and under the subtle influence of the mind controller, many Iraqi minds have already undergone earth-shaking changes.

When the call to action was heard, it was secretly supported by a large number of Iraqis.

And these are unimaginable things for punk.
