Chapter 250: The Iraqi Government's Abacus
After a month-long study, Cai Ruichen has the most comprehensive understanding of the combat methods and strength of ISIS soldiers.
There is no more thorough way to observe the enemy than the base, and those drones and spy satellites are all weak compared to them.
Because all the changes on the battlefield are well recorded, it can be guaranteed that there is not a trace of omission.
In the past month, all the soldiers of the Red Guard Corps have become familiar with the various ways in which the Islamic State fights.
In the No. 2 barracks, a simulated training ground was demarcated, using the base's augmented reality projection technology to simulate the situation of the Samarra battlefield and allow soldiers to enter the battle in teams.
Although this simulation cannot simulate the entire battlefield, it can perfectly reproduce the battle in a certain area.
For the preparations for the upcoming dispatch of Samarra, Cai Ruichen intends to do everything possible.
Such targeted simulation training is not that Cai Ruichen is too cautious.
But almost every capable power has training in this area.
They may not have such advanced augmented reality technology, but they can find a similar terrain condition for targeted training and exercises.
The difference is that Cai Ruichen uses augmented reality to carry out this kind of training, which not only saves a lot of military expenses, but also gets closer to the real environment of the battlefield.
If this technology is likely to be popularized, the world's major military countries will definitely rush to it. No one will let go of such advanced means of military training.
Of course, if he faced the Iraqi government army, Cai Ruichen would not be so concerned.
But the opponents are veterans with strong actual combat ability, all of whom are elites who have rolled in blood for several laps.
In the face of such an opponent, no one dares to despise it without absolute superiority.
Cai Ruichen is no exception. Especially after observing this month, he admired the calm combat quality, coordinated and orderly tactics, and cold and fearless combat courage of the soldiers of the Islamic State.
This admiration has nothing to do with the camp, but only as a pure admiration for the good side of these people who belong to the military.
Of course. If they did not have such qualities, the Iraqi government forces would have driven them all out of Iraq.
In Iraq, the real opponent of the Islamic State should be the Kurdish soldiers, not the Iraqi government forces that shoot indiscriminately more than 1,000 meters away and cannot even be seen by the enemy.
"Commander, are you sending troops as planned?" Zhao Long asked.
"Plans have been put on hold for the time being, and according to intelligence, the Iraqi military is preparing for Idris to send soldiers to Samarra to support." Cai Ruichen shook his head. Said.
The military strength that Idris possesses cannot be hidden from the eyes of the world, and naturally cannot be concealed from the Iraqi government.
The fighting in Samarra is stalemate, and for the Iraqi government forces, reinforcements are needed every day.
However, to maintain stability in the rear, there are also local Kurdish armed Iraqi government forces, and after transferring five divisions of troops, there are no more spare troops to support Samarra.
There is no better way for the Government of Iraq. At the same time, Samarra is not like other northern cities, where it is gone.
Samarra's absence would be tantamount to exposing Baghdad to the guns of the Islamic State. The position of the Iraqi Government would be comprehensively challenged.
This has also forced the Iraqi government to focus on those local armed forces, and there are hundreds of clans armed in the territory of the Iraqi government, ranging in size and small in size, adding up to tens of thousands of armed forces.
Therefore, the Iraqi government has also taken a good look at Marin Town, with the support of Future Technology Group. The Idris had the most powerful armament of these clans.
This also made the Iraqi government find Idris for the first time, after all, an army of 5,000 people still looks very combative.
Although the Iraqi government forces have not yet made official contact with Idris, there are signs of this, and several large and small clans are armed near Baghdad. Also received the message.
As long as they are willing to send troops to Samarra to assist the Iraqi government forces in the fight, it will be officially recognized by the Iraqi government and the Iraqi National Defense Force will be given a formal strength.
Originally, even if it was a clan armed force in the form of an underworld, many people were also thrilled when they saw that they could be transformed into legal status.
After all, they are only going to Samarra to assist the government forces in the fight, and they are not going directly to fight the ISIS soldiers in Samarra.
Tempted by heavy profits, there are really some organizations that send soldiers to Samarra.
Cai Ruichen believes that it is impossible for the Iraqi government army to let go of such an army as Idris.
After all, even if you can't make much of a difference on the battlefield, you can still use it to weaken the forces under Idris's command.
Just a legal establishment of the regular army can kill two birds with one stone, and the Iraqi government army's calculations are also sound.
Of course, this is also a good opportunity for Cai Ruichen.
Otherwise, according to the plan, he would have sent troops in the early hours of this morning, and the artillery fire of the fire support battalion would have been unbearable for a long time.
The postponement of the dispatch of troops was precisely because he had seen some of the recent actions of the Iraqi government forces, and he intended to have a more justified reason for sending troops.
In the future, even if Samarra is captured, it can be considered that the Iraqi government forces have recaptured Samarra.
After all, the reason for sending troops is the combat sequence of the Iraqi government army, and with such a reason, everything is enough.
However, even if there is no such reason, the establishment of the Iraqi government army, which originally had two battalions in Idris, would be sufficient.
But for the outside world, such a reason is not enough, at least there is a lack of an order to send troops.
If there is an order from the Iraqi government army to send troops, then everything will be said in the future.
"Then it seems that we will have to wait, just as a new infantry battalion is about to be formed." Zhao Long nodded and said.
"I won't wait too long, according to the original plan, be ready to send troops at any time." Cai Ruichen said.
"Do you want to mobilize a few main battle tanks from the wasteland?" Zhao Long said with some hesitation.
Nearly half of the hundreds of main battle tanks captured in the wasteland world have been replaced with the systems of the Red Guard Corps' combat system, and they have regained their combat effectiveness.
At present, the batch of main battle tanks in the wasteland world has become the main combat force of the wasteland troops.
And Zhao Long's focus on that batch of main battle tanks is understandable, after all, in the face of complex urban operations, having tank coordination is naturally like a tiger with wings.
Cai Ruichen refused without thinking about it: "Don't think about this for the time being, if the Type 99 main battle tank appears on the battlefield of Samarra, it will be too eye-catching." (To be continued.) )
