At this time, Victor and the Iraqi Staff Committee had also drawn up a detailed battle plan.

After reading this battle plan, Saddam Hussein was also taken aback.

It's too big, it's too detailed, it's so amazing, it's too risky!

To do it, or not to do it?

According to this plan, if it succeeds, the US military will suffer the largest casualties since the 90s.

What he has always declared is to make the blood of the people of the United States flow like a river.

will also become a reality.

It may even lead to a surge of anti-war sentiment in the United States, which may force the US military to stop fighting.

But in the same way, once this plan is successful, the people of the United States will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

So, in the face of such heavy casualties, will the people of the United States lose their minds and fight hysterically to the end?

Even Saddam Hussein, who was already an enemy of the entire West and had a habit of gambling, felt that this plan was so hot that it was difficult to make a choice.

With this battle plan, he locked himself in a secret bomb shelter, struggled and thought about it for a whole day, and finally gritted his teeth and gave the order in a gambling manner:

Do so!

In order to succeed in the battle plan, Saddam used half of his financial reserves.

The once rich Iraq, after the end of the Gulf War, still has tens of billions of dollars in reserves.

However, in the past ten years, the cost of the war and the freezing of foreign funds have made Saddam's money less and less.

Up to now, his secret account is full of more than 20 billion US dollars, which is his life-saving money, and it is the living expenses of fleeing with his son Uday after the defeat of the war.

But at this moment, his eyebrows have been burned, and he has no other way to retreat between successfully repelling the American army, continuing to hold the power of life and death, and being defeated and killed.

For nearly a week, according to Victor's instructions, Iraqi soldiers successfully took advantage of the time difference between the satellite patrol in space and smuggled the arms back to Iraq little by little.

For the sake of this batch of arms, Saddam's secret account was less than $4 billion!

From 2 May 2004.

The US military has discovered that there has been high-intensity radar jamming in the Iraqi border area, and their long-range radar can no longer detect targets in Iraq in depth.

Iraq has completely become a country that has been put in a box.

In the skies over the Middle East, where the sky is full of yellow sand, the US fighter pilots who are vying for air supremacy with the Iraqi Air Force finally find out bitterly that their airborne radar is not very effective.

The radar, which was originally designed to cover hundreds of kilometers, has been reduced to less than 10 kilometers at this moment!

For several days in a row, despite the flying of planes, the number of effective engagements over Iraq was pitiful.

The US pilots, who were accustomed to using early warning planes to indicate the direction and found the enemy from the airborne radar in a leisurely manner, and engaged in over-the-horizon attacks, suddenly found that they had to use their eyes to find the possible position of the enemy planes and engage in close-range dogfights, just like their predecessors in World War II.

Losing the advantage of pre-detecting the enemy leads to the fact that they must always be on high alert, otherwise the probability of them being shot down increases by one point for one more second of flight in the air.

At this time, all the tactics commonly used by the US military were useless.

They can no longer move their command freely in the air and make all kinds of complicated tactical adjustments.

Almost all pilots are under tremendous mental pressure.

After an air battle, some pilots with slightly inferior psychological quality directly collapsed psychologically.

Fortunately, the base is equipped with professional psychologists, otherwise it would be unimaginable.

Few people know.

In the first Gulf War, the U.S. military defeated the Iraqi army of 2 million with very low battle losses of 146 men.

But nearly a hundred of them died in the attacks of their companions.

May 16, half past two in the morning.

The night in the desert is silent.

Only some small animals, taking advantage of the night, squirted out of the yellow sand, taking advantage of the temperature drop at night to find food to survive.

South-eastern Iraq.

A long convoy, without driving lights, headed for the Kuwaiti border in the dark.

The darkness of the night obscured their whereabouts.

Only the dim stars and moon can make people vaguely see the black shadow that is rapidly advancing.

The existence of radar jammers has allowed the US military to stop its night bombing, and until they come up with a way to crack Iraq's self-harm tricks, their planes will be parked at airports or runways more often.

At the front of the convoy sat an Iraqi general who held a glow-in-the-dark gyroscope to determine their position at any time.

"Stop!"

With a sudden wave of his hand, he brought the convoy to a halt.

The Iraqi general took out a map, compared the degrees on the gyroscope several times by the dim moonlight, and said: "Our hidden listening post should be here, everyone disperse immediately and find our infiltrated personnel as soon as possible." ”

The soldiers on the convoy scattered in all directions, whispering something.

Through the deep darkness of the night, it can be seen that most of these vehicles are Iraqi missile launchers.

However, there are also six trucks, loaded with dense launch tubes.

In this operation, Saddam drove out all the remaining 30 missile launchers, and also purchased more than 20 missiles through Victor's channels.

These 50-odd missile launchers are like beasts about to be devoured, ready to show their hideous features and launch a death raid at any time.

Ten minutes later, a member of the guard, with a soldier covered in sand, came over.

The Iraqi general who led the team asked him some questions and the time period of the US patrol plane, then took out a laptop from the cab, followed the soldier, and walked to a sand pile in the distance.

Underneath this pile of sand, there was an Iraqi outpost, albeit very cramped, that could only accommodate one person to hide.

But through this outpost, the Iraqi command can know the movements of the US military for the first time.

Hidden outposts like this, and many more.

In the southeast, in addition to the frontal battlefield facing Kuwait, there are also many concealed posts in the east and west, facing the Saudi border.

Each outpost relied on shallow buried lines to keep in touch with the rear.

An Iraqi staff officer, connecting his laptop to the line, entered the character password, and logged into the temporary command system.

"Our side has arrived at the intended combat area and can launch an attack at any time."

The staff officer's fingers raced into the notebook.

After more than ten seconds, a string of Arabic text appeared on the screen: Our mole is in place, you start on the spot, and prepare for launch.

Along with it, there is also an image attachment.

The staff officer received this attachment and opened it in a notebook.

This is a high-definition picture, to be precise, a high-definition topographic map that depicts in detail the Jahra Barracks, where the U.S. troops are located, looking down on the structure.

Each building is marked with its coordinates, how many American soldiers live inside, and what unit it belongs to.

The countries of the Middle East are very dissatisfied with this US offensive, and there are not a few people in their countries who sympathize with Iraq.

Saddam Hussein used various means such as national morality, brotherhood, money, and beautiful women to buy off a large number of empathizers and serve as their intelligence eyeliner.

Even if it is some information with a high level of secrecy, it is not a problem for Iraq to get its hands on it.

The Arab coalition forces involved in this war were only responsible for patrolling and defending the bases, and did not want to actually participate in the combat operations of the US military.

The Jhela Barracks, which is mainly stationed in the forward units of the US army.

Although it is a barracks, it is actually about the same as a small town.

The various units lived in apartment buildings one after another.

Twelve people lived in a suite, and there were almost five hundred people in one building, which was equivalent to a battalion.

In addition, the Jahra Barracks, like other U.S. military barracks, has facilities for recreation, office, and shopping.

On the whole, it is no different from a fully functional town.

It's just that it's populated by soldiers, not civilians.

On the detailed high-definition map, even the dormitory numbers and command organs of the US soldiers are clearly marked.

Conspicuous red circles circle these key targets separately, and there are more than 100 in total.

Some of the yellow triangles mark the places of residence of the command structure and American generals, and these are the targets that need to be attacked first.

The Iraqi generals looked at the target map and pondered.
