"The main force of the Marin Division has now entered Tikrit, and the urban fighting has not met much resistance from ISIS forces, and the fighting is expected to end completely tomorrow."

Zhao Long, who was in charge of the command of this ground operation, reported to Cai Ruichen.

"Are there big troop losses?" Cai Ruichen nodded and asked.

With absolute superiority in intelligence and advanced weaponry, attacking a city with fewer troops will naturally not cause too many casualties for the combat quality of the Red Police Corps.

However, in the city, sometimes it is impossible to give full play to the advantages of equipment, and the air-ground integrated combat will be greatly restricted in the complex building environment of the city.

"So far, we have paid for the casualties of thirteen people, and three ...... have been directly killed," Zhao Long replied immediately.

It's not zero casualties, under the absolute advantage, this answer made Cai Ruichen a little dissatisfied, but he was quickly relieved, the death of the three people, compared to the battle with the mutants in the wasteland, can be said to be the slightest casualty.

If the following military operations in the wasteland can maintain such a casualty number, it will hardly be difficult at all.

It's a pity that Cai Ruichen is also very clear that such a result is almost impossible to appear in the wasteland in the face of those mutants.

Although mutants have no weapons and equipment, they are a group of beasts without any fear, and they do not have the instinct to avoid evil like humans.

Often such an adversary is more capable of inflicting casualties on the troops, the most important thing is. Advanced mutants. It's just too hard to deal with.

Especially those Level 3 mutants. The structure and strength of the body are no less than those of the main battle tanks, and it also has the ability to destroy the main battle tank.

Theoretically, the combat effectiveness of those mutants in the wasteland, after reaching a certain size, is definitely not weaker than the armies of various countries.

However, the battle in Tikrit was not over yet, as the next step was to clear the city of the lurking enemy.

Such an action. It will be more dangerous, even if the troops have the cooperation of military dogs, they are very vulnerable.

The current casualty figure will not be the final casualty figure, and many of the really large casualty figures have occurred in sporadic engagements after large-scale battles.

Especially those snipers hiding in the city, this is the real danger, once not found in time, the damage to the soldiers, is definitely more dangerous than those heavy weapons.

Cai Ruichen also has a reason to be concerned. There is a significant number of those ISIS fighters in Tikrit. It's all hidden among the inhabitants.

After all, many of these Islamic State fighters fought guerrilla warfare in cities with the U.S. military, and they are very proficient in such skills.

These people will naturally not show their murderous intentions in large-scale army operations now, but once the war is over, and all the military in the city begin to rest or organize the battlefield and be on duty, that is when they take action.

In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the US military back then, what Cai Ruichen had to do was to eliminate these hidden rats before the end of the war.

It is a pity that Tikrit is not within the radius of action of the base, otherwise he would not have such troubles.

And to achieve such a goal, in a big city like Tikrit, it is really not easy.

Tikrit, as a famous big city in Iraq and the hometown of Saddam Hussein, has always developed well.

And the people here in Tikrit have always been the place where Saddam Hussein selected his troops, and the local folk customs are very strong, and the soldiers of the Iraqi National Guard, who are more than eight floors, are from this place.

After Saddam Hussein's disbandment order, many of the Iraqi National Guard lurked in the city, which became a very important area in Iraq to resist the US military at that time.

So many of ISIS's fighters, who are Tikrits, have a hard time screening out obvious enemies and targets.

Even al-Baghdadi only has a list, not even a photo, and there are even many armed men from some peripheral organizations who have been armed after entering the place.

The end of the war in Tikrit was also about the beginning of another war, and the Red Guard had to face everything that the United States had to face back then.

Of course, there is a big difference between the Red Guard Corps and the U.S. military, that is, the regional advantage, the Red Guard Corps is operating in the name of the Iraqi government army, and with the call of the elders, it can still reduce a lot of resistance.

And it also has the support of the people, which is much better than the US military back then.

However, in the overall form, only a part of the enemy was reduced, and those armed men who were hidden simply laid down their arms completely.

But there will be no shortage of people who still choose to resist.

The most difficult city to recover in the entire Salah al-Din province is Tikrit, and of course, as long as the occupation of this city is successfully completed, the entire Salah al-Din province will not have any strength to resist the recovery of this place.

At the same time, once the military formation of Tikrit has been completed and the occupation of the city has been completed, the main forces will leave Tikrit and enter other cities in Salah al-Din province.

Therefore, Cai Ruichen also considered whether to let the sniper brigade be responsible for clearing the enemy in Tikrit, after all, the best way to counter sniping in the city is to use snipers to counterattack.

It is still very advantageous to cooperate with military dogs and terrorist robots.

"Let Tang Zu look over for a moment." Cai Ruichen thought about it and said to Zhao Long.

"Then commander, are you going to let Old Tang be in charge of the post-war clean-up work in Tikrit?" Zhao Long didn't contact immediately, but asked.

"Is there a better way to do it?" Cai Ruichen asked.

"In the face of the situation that the enemy is dark and I am clear, this is also the only good way, but this kind of confrontation is too long, and if the other party keeps lurking, it is not a small hidden danger." Zhao Long said.

This made Cai Ruichen also wake up, if those who were lurking were always lurking, then no matter how many snipers were dispatched, it would have no effect.

After all, snipers can't tell which person is an ISIS infiltrator, and it is only possible to tell when the other party is about to strike or be exposed.

In those years, the U.S. military never found a good solution because of such problems. You can only improve the bulletproof ability of your own soldiers, but the results show that it is useless at all.

"Then what do you say?" (To be continued.) )
