Chapter 527: Operation Desert Sabre

It's time to fight!

All of a sudden, there was a fight!

Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Palestine, the three countries besieged ..... The Three Kingdoms Resist Israel! Just stop speechless.

It's as if two people are fighting, and the fight is lively, and the people watching the excitement next to them suddenly start fighting.

Good guys, the whole Middle East, all of a sudden, is in chaos.

The Egyptians were ready to move, the Lebanese exchange of fire suddenly became more frequent, and the Kurds in the north of YLK began to be active frequently.....

This round of missile attacks by Silly Damu seems to have opened a Pandora's box and blown up a group of careerists.

That's the beginning..... It's the patriotic young man Sean who feels stunned when he looks at the follow-up changes, this is crazy!

Yeni!

......

The tension in the Israeli region has inevitably affected the Suez Canal, a golden waterway, and the supply of supplies to the US coalition has been affected.

Norman fired a few times, but still 'had to' bow to reality and began to shrink some of the strength of the air strike.

The deepest feeling is the stupid big wood, the loss is not only showing a rapid decline, because the Middle East is in a mess, and the media has paid a lot less attention to him.

At the same time....

"The Soviets asked me to bring you a message."

"They have a batch of munitions in the Caucasus, helicopters, tanks, anti-aircraft artillery, SAM missiles, which can be sent to you through the Iranian border."

Silly Damu smiled, "Price?"

"The price is easy to say, but gold!"

After thinking about it, Silly Damu looked up and said, "Dollars!" "Okay."

"Then let's talk about it!"

The messenger left, and Silly Damu didn't know if this was the intention of the Soviet government or if those officers were secretly reselling, it didn't matter, now the most important thing is to have arms.

......

Feeling the meaning conveyed by all parties, Silly Damu became more and more confident, regained confidence and began to set up arrangements, continuing the plan laid out before the sneak attack on the Israelis.

He ordered more tunnels to be dug in the desert and laid out a line of defense from the Saudi border to Baghdad, the capital of YLK.

Hiding under the desert can effectively avoid aerial bombardment by the US military and greatly reduce injuries.

At the same time, when the U.S. military launches a ground offensive, it will be found that they are completely mired in a quagmire like a spider's web.

While arranging ground defenses, Silly Damu ordered more fake military bases to be laid out on the ground to confuse the U.S. military.

......

The U.S. military maintained the intensity of the daily bombing, and there was no other response, and the number of casualties among the YLK people was not large, and the eyes of the whole world during this time were attracted by a new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Different from previous Palestinian-Israeli conflicts, this one is larger in scale, with more belligerent parties and a larger number of casualties, but the US military has lost the limelight in the first few days.

"Commander, this is today's reconnaissance report." In the U.S. military's operations conference room, a signal corpsman delivered a report.

At the same time as reducing the intensity of the strike, Norman increased the number and frequency of reconnaissance planes, followed bombers and fighters, and carried out a detailed search of the battlefield inch by inch.

The minutes just ticked by.

Eighteen days have passed in a flash...... It's January 17th.

Norman held his chin and looked solemnly at the sand table in front of him, and the layout of the YLK people on the sand table was clearly marked.

During this period, the bombing activities did not stop, and while the reconnaissance planes arrived under the cover to observe, the US military also used the cover to carry out 138 airborne landings at night, and successively dropped 280 special operations teams totaling 3,000 people on the territory of the YLK people.

3,000 people seems like a lot, but sprinkling it throughout YLK is less than sesame salt.

They

The mission was to use the bombing as a cover for close-up observation to further confirm the accuracy of the intelligence scanned by reconnaissance aircraft and reconnaissance satellites.

On this basis, Norman will also airdrop some supplies so that these special forces can stay in the desert for a long time, and use lasers for precise guidance during subsequent attacks.

"Based on the intelligence reconnaissance during this time, we have now determined that in order to defend Kuwait, which has been declared a province, Silly Damu has deployed a total of 41 divisions and more than 540,000 people, equipped with more than 3,000 tanks, 2,800 armored vehicles and 2,000 artillery pieces in Kuwait and the southern end of the YLK territory."

"These forces are centered on Basra, an important town in the south of YLK, and are distributed in a fan shape in three directions: Kuwait, the "neutral zone" on the Iran-Saudi border and the western town of Salman, with Kuwait as the main direction. On the first line, 19 divisions will be deployed along the borders of Isha, Iraq and Kuwait and the east coast of Kuwait."

"The second line is about 55 kilometers behind the first line, and a total of about 15 divisions are deployed."

"The third line is deployed along the Iraqi-Kuwaiti border and on the Basra-Nasiriyah line, with a total of seven divisions, of which five Republican Guard divisions are stationed in the area south of Basra."

"The defense center of the Iraqi army is completely in Kuwait, and the western part of the army is empty, and the suggestion of the General Staff is to use it as the main direction of attack, and with the cooperation of air troops, go straight to Baghdad and capture Silly Damu alive!"

"The desert environment is too harsh, the ground station must be solved quickly, if they are delayed, then they only need to pollute the water source when they retreat, and only rely on the water purification equipment they carry with them, and the problem of drinking water supply alone can bother us." After speaking, the chief of staff looked up at Norman.

"The information that should be investigated is almost done, so you can arrange an attack." Norman looked up at everyone, "The so-called drag into the quagmire of war, that also requires them to have this ability, if they lose air supremacy, they are nothing!"

"I know that our operation is now being evaluated outside, and although the importance of air supremacy is recognized, we still can't see how important air supremacy is until the actual combat test."

"We'll need to show them that."

"Now, I command!" Norman suddenly raised his voice. Everyone snapped upright.

"The whole army has entered a state of first-level combat readiness, and is ready to attack at any time." 「YesSir!」

···.·

Naturally, the combat readiness of the US military could not be concealed from the other 33 coalition forces, but everyone did not take it too seriously.

After all, this is the fourth time in the past half a month that I have been ready to attack, but it has been canceled for various reasons.

Norman hadn't heard the story of the wolf, but that didn't stop him from using it.

After all, the air force is dominated by the US military, and the tasks of the reconnaissance planes and airdropped special forces are all hidden in the bombing missions that are frequently dispatched every day.

These must be hidden from these allies, and the devil knows how many people are fornicating with stupid big trees! These days, allies are often more terrible than enemies!

As an apprentice, in the past 200 years, the Americans have absorbed too much nutrients from the British.

Let's talk about World War II, if it weren't for the fact that Britain was dragging its feet with the-stirring stick among its allies, the French would not have suffered so heavy losses, and the mustache would not have had a chance to hit Stalingrad.

The British are still so single-minded, and for hundreds of years they have been adhering to the principle of standing on the side of the winner, dragging the victor back, and resolutely not letting the victory come so easily.

Of course, the French who had been the world's No. 1 army for hundreds of years suddenly broke up, and the speed of the mess caught people off guard, and when the British reacted to the promotion and support, the French completely collapsed, and finally were completely dragged into the pit with heavy losses!

Getting back to the point, now Norman is guarding against these allies, and Bit's guarding against the old king next door is strict!

There will never be a single piece of information leaked before the war begins.

···.·.

Level 1 combat readiness

That is, ready to go out at any time, everything.

A day later, Norman convened a military conference again, and no one thought it strange since

Since I came to Saudi Arabia, the military meeting will be held once every three or five days, and during this time, because the aerial bombing has been carried out, everyone was still very fresh and excited at the beginning, but the bombing has lasted for more than a month, and the freshness has long passed.

At each military meeting, we should report on the number of planes dispatched in the previous stage of bombing, where and where they bombed, and what results they achieved, and then explain the targets of the next stage of bombing.

I can't talk about it, but it's very casual.

This meeting was also the same as always, and when everyone was listening intently and their minds were wandering, Norman stood up, "Let's introduce the next stage of the battle plan."

As Norman spoke, a large map appeared on the projection screen on the wall. "In the next phase of the battle, I'll name it Project Desert Sabre!"

With Norman's words, the delegates looked up at the big screen and were stunned.

"The coalition will be divided into three sides, and three offensive groups will be deployed from west to east along the Saudi-Iranian and Shako borders."

"The first is the Western Assault Group, deployed in the middle of the Saudi-Iranian border, commanded by Lieutenant General Luck, which includes the 101st Airborne Division, the 82nd Airborne Division, the 24th Mechanized Infantry Division, the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment and the 6th French Light Armored Division of the US 18th Airborne Army.

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the representatives of various countries who looked at the projection screen gradually widened, and then they felt as if they had seen it wrong, and they blinked their eyes a few times, and their faces were full of stunned expressions.

Ground propulsion?! This is ground propulsion!

An idea jumped into his head, an all-out attack.

As soon as this idea came out, everyone's hands shook a few times, and they were all startled by this sudden task, Fake!

Is it so sudden?

"Is there a problem with the French army?" Norman looked over and asked flatly. Without mentioning the U.S. military, the U.S. military is certainly fine.

The person in charge of the French army snorted, "YseSir, the French army has no problems, and the mission is guaranteed to be completed!"

People from so many countries are looking at it, one of the five big hooligans, no matter how far the world's first army has fallen after World War II, but now it must not be coaxed.

It's like a fucking sieve here, and you don't even want to get out of your face.

"Very well, here's the Mid Lane Army." Norman continued: "The Central Army is deployed in the eastern sector of the Saudi-Iranian border, under the command of Lieutenant General Franks, including the 1st Armored Division, 3rd Armored Division, 1st Cavalry Division, 1st Mechanized Infantry Division, 3rd Brigade of the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division, and 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment of the US 7th Army, as well as the 1st Armored Cavalry Regiment of the British Army. Republican Guard."

"Is there a problem with the British army?" Norman looked at the Englishman again.

「YseSir! The head of the British army replied loudly, the lobster soldiers are indestructible, and they can't delay!

"Very well, down here is Army Group East." Norman looked at the group of white hats in the Middle East, "The Eastern Attack Group is deployed in the western section of the Shako border section under the command of Vice Admiral Boomer, including the 1st Marine Division and the 2nd Marine Division under the command of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force of the US Navy, as well as the participating troops of Arab countries, ...... Afghanistan, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Greece, and , whose mission is to recover Kuwait, attract the attention of the Iraqi army, and squeeze the Iraqi army from south to north."

"In addition, on the naval side, our army will also deploy more than 30 amphibious assault ships in the coastal waters of Kuwait, carrying 18,000 marines on board, to prepare for a beachfront landing to contain the Iraqi army."

"Finally, I want to emphasize that I don't want to hear about the massacre of civilians by coalition forces!"

"Remember, we are the United *** Team, the executioners of justice, and we must, and we must

It must be righteous!"

"That's it, everyone go and prepare, you only have 12 hours, and tomorrow at 4 a.m., the Desert Saber Project will officially begin!"

「YseSir! Everyone stood up, saluted, and then turned and walked out with solemn faces.

Suddenly, the ground operation began, so suddenly, suddenly that everyone was completely unprepared.

But there is no way to oppose it, the US military is the protagonist of this joint operation, accounting for 80% of the number of coalition forces, they are just beating the side drum, and whether they are or not does not affect the overall situation.

Therefore, Norman was able to order directly, without considering their feelings at all.

Besides, this joint operation is endorsed by the United Nations and is just, and people all over the world are paying attention, and they cannot and dare not openly violate military orders.

It's just that what kind of confidence does the U.S. military have? How much preparation has been made?

The unknown is what makes everyone's heart heavy. Can the YLK people withstand it?

Everyone couldn't help but worry about the stupid big wood! Meng Meng, stand up!.

After the rest of the world went out, only Americans were left in the conference room, Norman waved his hand, and the picture on the projector changed, so he continued: "The Desert Saber plans to move in 12 hours, and within this 12 hours, we will completely destroy the YLK air force and occupy the YLK sky!"

"Very good, very imposing." Norman nodded in satisfaction and looked at the army again, "The 6th Army, after the middle route army completely opened the gap, immediately set off, along the Euphrates River all the way west, straight into Baghdad, your task is to live Silly Damu before he reacts, send him to a court-martial."

"The 19th Airborne Corps, 24 hours after Operation Sabre in the Desert, was airdropped west of Baghdad to cut off Silly Damu's escape route to the west."

"Is there a problem?"

「YseSir!」
