The battle for Samarra ended soon after a situation that the whole world expected.

Just one day of fighting, the image of ISIS, which has always been strong in Iraq, collapsed.

Throughout the battle, tens of thousands of ISIS fighters were killed and wounded, as well as three or four thousand prisoners.

But as the victorious side, Cai Ruichen also discovered a fact that made him very helpless.

The Islamic State has indeed shifted its target, and it seems that it knows that Samarra can no longer stop the attack of the Marin Division, and the ISIS forces are quickly assembling towards Fallujah.

And the main force of nearly 20,000 people, a large part of which has actually mixed into the city of Fallujah.

Almost immediately after the battle in Samarra ended, Iraqi government forces in Fallujene were suddenly attacked by Islamic State government forces.

At the same time, Cai Ruichen also knew that the more than 10,000 ISIS fighters faced by the Red Police Corps were really all recruits.

More than 10,000 recruits, some of whom have not even joined the army for less than a month.

And the reason why ISIS put these people in Samarra is only purely to drag down the Marlin Division.

Then provide cover for the main force to attack Fallujah, because the eyes of the whole world are almost focused on Samarra, including the Iraqi government army.

No one would have thought that the Islamic State armed forces would actually come to a Ming Xiu plank road to secretly cross Chen Cang.

First, they showed the world the intelligence that they had mobilized their main forces to Tikrit, and then quietly sent the newly recruited soldiers to Tikrit. The next step is to change the tanuki for the prince.

Just like the various guerrilla wars faced by the US military in Iraq back then. These ISIS militants. Take up arms and be warriors, and lay down arms are the best civilians.

In this way, Saddam's 100,000 National Guards disappeared from Baghdad, and then in the following nine years, more than 4,000 casualties were inflicted on the US troops stationed in Iraq.

Now, the Islamic State has also played such a trick, using the new recruits to replace the veterans with fresh faces.

Then let those veterans pretend to be ordinary people and approach Fallujah.

I'm afraid of such tactics. It was a change that he had no choice but to make after seeing the powerful artillery attack power that burst out of the Marin Division.

And those recruits are just cannon fodder, used to drag down the Marin division, even if all of them are annihilated, there is not much loss for the Islamic State forces.

Because there is also a brutal status quo in the occupied territories, which is after the Iraqi government cut off the electricity supply.

In order to stabilize the situation, ISIS has to come up with a solution that makes it impossible for ISIS to provide basic social security to the people in the occupied areas. That's massive recruitment.

Every soldier can enjoy various benefits and high salaries, although the mood is stabilized for a short time. And the recruitment of restless young people into the army reduces the risk of armed rebellion.

However, the rigid expenditure of military spending is also rising, and if this factor is combined, then these people are actually deliberately sent by the Islamic State to Samarra to die.

The cruel truth is that the weapons in the hands of these recruits are all junk weapons that are as cheap as only twenty or thirty dollars a piece, and the bullets are all cheap bullets produced by small workshops that have been reloaded many times.

And even so, the number of bullets in the arsenal of these recruits on the battlefield is only five.

With weapons that can explode at any moment, there is no logistics, and it doesn't matter if they live or die.

If this were placed in the armies of various countries, the murder of soldiers would be charged by military courts, and military law would be enforced.

Because if it is not good, it will cause a mutiny, but this is a very cost-effective deal for the Islamic State forces, and these people will be sent to death, then they can reduce some of the expenses.

Military spending has been reduced a little, and there is no need to pay pensions like those veterans, which can be called the cheapest cannon fodder under the conditions of modern warfare.

Of course, if these soldiers, in the opinion of ISIS, have the leadership of more than a thousand veterans, it should be no problem to think of blocking the Marin division.

However, the speed at which the war ended was really unacceptable to the top level of the Islamic State.

In their opinion, even if there are 10,000 goats, there are only a few thousand people in the Marlin Division, and it is very difficult to catch all of them in such a large area.

But as a result, their troops did not hold out even for a day.

And it also directly exposed the purpose of their sneak attack on Fallujah, in order to prevent the Iraqi forces from reacting, the Islamic State forces also had to start operations in advance.

However, even when fully prepared, the opponent is still the ace division of the Iraqi government army, but the Islamic State quickly captured many important areas of Fallujah when the sneak attack began.

Hundreds of armored vehicles were blown up in a sneak attack by the Iraqi government's Fallujah ace division. Among them are more than a dozen old T-72 main battle tanks, as well as three M1A1 Abrams.

Compared to the ISIS attack, the Iraqi government forces were several beats slower to react, and it was not until a few hours later that they organized themselves to block the attacks and sneak attacks of the Islamic State forces on some streets of Fallujah.

Moreover, this is the result of the emergency dispatch of the US Air Force to assist, otherwise I am afraid that the situation in Fallujah will be even more embarrassing for the Iraqi government army.

However, many of Fallujah's economic institutions have been occupied, and ISIS's first step of wealth grabbing has been completed.

Even if the Iraqi government forces react, the money in Fallujene may have been looted.

Even so, the Iraqi government did not ask for help from the town of Marin, which is only 40 kilometres from Fallujah.

Instead, troops were mobilized from elsewhere to support Fallujah.

However, if the Iraqi government army asks Cai Ruichen for help, then Cai Ruichen will give them a little artillery support at most.

Because he didn't have the energy to care about the battle in Fallujah now, he was happy to accept the city of Samarra in its entirety.

Although the city, strictly speaking, has almost been wiped out on Iraqi soil.

But Cai Ruichen is still very confident that he will soon rebuild a more developed Samarra city.

And now that the Red Guard Corps has achieved its current strategic goals, he still wants the Islamic State to die in Fallujah and the Iraqi government army.

lest the Islamic State continue to look at Samarra and want to use this passage to enter Baghdad.

Therefore, even if the Iraqi government army asks for help, Cai Ruichen will not really send troops to help them.

As the saying goes, people don't kill for themselves, plus Cai Ruichen still has a lot of things to do in the wasteland, so he has no time to take care of the Iraqi government army. (To be continued.) )
