Chapter 254: Refusal to Obey Command (Second Shift)

Once the 5,000-strong First Brigade of the Red Police Corps is engaged in the battle in Samarra, Cai Ruichen plans to replenish the 1st Brigade with a fully formed battalion-level combat unit every week.

At present, according to the speed at which regular troops are recruited from the base, a battalion can be formed in just over three days, and if the recruitment work does not stop, one week is enough to recruit two battalions of troops.

However, the wasteland world must also start to expand its forces, so the troops recruited this week will be divided equally between the two worlds.

One battalion per week, plus the 3,000 troops currently in direct combat, is enough to deal with ISIL forces in Samarlane.

Of course, this arrangement is also very flexible, and if the Islamic State starts a large-scale increase in Samarra, Cai Ruichen will also quickly adjust.

At present, the Islamic State's combat force in Samarra is actually only a few tens of thousands.

There are still a large number of troops in the rear that have not been used, but on the other hand, the government army has invested nearly 50,000 troops, and tens of thousands of casualties have been killed and wounded in a month, which is simply a meat grinder in the environment of modern warfare.

According to the plan of logistics support and reserve force structure, if it is really necessary, Cai Ruichen even plans to use the Type 99 main battle tank.

As for the trouble or anything, none of them is more important than the task.

However, some people are very dissatisfied with the behavior of the 1st Brigade of the Red Police Corps.

In the headquarters of the Third Army Corps of the Iraqi Government Army, outside Samarra, the commander of the Iraqi Lieutenant General Corps, Mutar, did not feel anything when he heard that the troops were being sent from the town of Marin.

But as the troops in Marin town swaggered to build a camp next to the refugee camp without informing the Iraqi government forces of their actions. There is no reason why Mutar should not be annoyed.

"What are they going to do? Do you want to fight independently? Or they don't know. Come to Samarra. Just to cooperate with the actions of government forces? ”

A series of questions, coupled with Mutar's angry appearance, made the faces of the cadres in the command also look ugly.

Although none of them have systematic professional military studies, they at least understand some basic common sense in commanding troops.

If Marin's troops did not obey the command, it would be tantamount to a three-way scuffle within Samarra.

The first problem is that there is no division between friend and foe, and there is no coordinated commander. Naturally, it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe on the same battlefield.

And it was supposed to be a war between the two sides, and then suddenly a third party came, and this third party was still the same target as one of them. However, without prior notice, accidental injuries are absolutely inevitable.

What's more, in modern warfare, most of the time the enemy is almost invisible, and who knows who is on the other side after a burst of artillery fire.

As for the information on the armed participation in the war in Marin, Mutar has already received a notification from the Ministry of Defense.

But who knew that those people, after they came, they didn't even say a word.

If you fight together, someone must be in command. As the lieutenant general commander of the 3rd Army Corps. Mutar is under control of all government forces on all Samarra battlefields.

Marin Town sent troops, and it was naturally under his command that he commanded. With an extra force of a few thousand men, he was looking forward to it.

As a result, it was any commander who would be annoyed.

"Commander, I'll go to their camp right away to reorganize. Strive to be able to send directly to the battlefield tomorrow. A major general came out and asked Mutar for his life.

"Go ahead and tell them they must obey orders." Mutar nodded angrily, he had already decided to send this force to the railway station tomorrow, as the vanguard of the attack on the railway station, and wanted that group of guys to taste the guns of the Islamic State.

However, what he didn't expect was that half an hour later, the major general came back in disgrace.

"Commander, they are so presumptuous, those guards in Marin Town didn't even let me approach the camp, and even shot to warn." As soon as he returned to the commander, the major general complained directly.

"Bastard, didn't you tell who you are?" When Muttar heard this, he became even more angry.

The major general said with a sad face: "I reported it, but they didn't let me get close at all on the grounds of military secrets." ”

"Then you didn't tell them what you were going for?" Murtar angrily flicked a short whip in his hand and slammed it on the table with a crisp sound.

"Yes, but the guards in Marin Town replied to me that they were under the command of their direct commanders, and they would not accidentally injure friendly troops." The Major General said this, glanced at Muttar with some trepidation, and immediately lowered his head when he saw his angry eyes.

He didn't add fuel and vinegar to these answers, because these reactions of the other party did not need him to add oil and vinegar, which was enough to make everyone angry.

Sure enough, for this act of contempt, everyone's inner anger was mobilized.

"They also said that they came on orders from the Ministry of Defense, but that the Ministry of Defense did not order them to be under our command."

After a pause, the major general proposed: "Unless we send a message to the Ministry of Defense and ask them to give orders directly, we will not be soft on these clan armaments." ”

"Humph!" Mutar snorted coldly when he heard the words of the major general, but he did not have a seizure, but considered the pros and cons, and then nodded and said, "Send a message to the Ministry of Defense." ”

The reply from the Iraqi Ministry of Defense came quickly, but when Mutar saw the content above, he suddenly felt a little different, but he was not angry, and soon he was a little clear, and after putting away the content of the reply, he said to everyone: "Ignore them." Even if it is a mistake, we are not responsible. ”

After hearing these words, everyone's faces also became strange, and they didn't expect that the Ministry of Defense actually meant this.

In their eyes, this is simply an incredible thing, what if they are seriously injured by mistake? After all, anything can happen on the battlefield, let alone friendly troops, even if it is a unit belonging to the same organization, there will be accidental injuries.

During the Gulf War that year, the US Air Force dropped bombs on its ground forces on several occasions.

Not to mention in a complex urban war like Samarra, how can the artillery notify the other side if it fires?

What they didn't know, however, was that there was another passage behind the order in Mutar's hand that he did not utter.

However, this is not important to the Red Guard Corps, because the base can monitor their every move.

As for handing over the operations of the troops to the command of the Iraqi government forces, in Cai Ruichen's view, it is simply the murder of soldiers.

Therefore, even if there is a real possibility of accidental injury, he will not hand over his troops to the command of the Iraqi government.

And the entry of the Red Guard Corps into the war, for the Islamic State forces, the nightmare began. (To be continued.) )
