Chapter 686: Preparations
Joga didn't understand what Beryl was talking about, but he understood when the Predator drone flew over the town of Jalan and relayed the image back to Antar for him......
The town of Jalan is a small town on the border between the grassland and the Gobi, where an oil field can be controlled to the north and the grassland can be accessed to the south, which is a very important strategic location.
Only one road runs westward, then forks along a river, connecting several cities in northern Syria to the north, and a road bridge to the south, which leads to the Kurdish-controlled steppe.
And the commander of the martyr's battalion was now standing on the south side of the highway bridge, blocking the footsteps of Isis's large army to the south.
In fact, this is also a drop in the bucket, because the current river has very little water, and the terrorists of Isis can easily cross the river on foot without giving up their vehicles.
However, in this era, it is impossible to fight without a car and rely on your feet alone, because the weight of people is really limited.
The commander of the Martyrs' Battalion occupied a small hillside, blocked the exit of the highway bridge, and fought to the death in the face of the enemy surrounding him from all sides, in fact, giving the Kurds on the steppe a space to survive.
Joga looked at the photo taken from above, the fighting had not stopped when the drone had passed, probably in retaliation for the bombardment of the -25, and the Isis men attacked even more frantically.
They had not only infantry fighting vehicles, but also a dozen armored personnel carriers received from the Haliburton company.
Accompanied by mortar shelling, those armored personnel carriers were covering the terrorists on the hillside.
Although a large number of labyrinth-like trenches were dug on the top of the mountain, and a large number of bunkers and munitions were stacked, Joga still couldn't imagine how dozens of women could hold out in the face of such an attack and such a small hillside.
With a few rounds of hellfire knocking out several armored personnel carriers and inflicting huge losses on Isis, the besieging terrorists began to retreat in a hurry.
Joga put down the tablet with a frown, looked at Beryl and said, "Why don't you just blow up that bridge?" ”
As he spoke, Qiao Jia patted his head, knowing that he had said something stupid.
Blowing up a bridge would only lead Isis to think of more than one way to get into the steppe to the south, bypassing the Gobi in the northeast, or continuing west to cross the river from other locations.
Then the initiative will completely change hands!
Now that the Martyrs' Battalion is stuck in Isis's traffic chokepoint, they will be able to divert their attention here, and they will be able to buy more time.
It was inconceivable to Choga that a group of women had fought to such a terrible level that Kurdish fighters did not come to their aid.
After asking Beryl his question, Beryl said with a bitter expression: "Actually, there is support, but now most of the Kurdish armed soldiers are divided around the area controlled by the US military, and they bite together with Isis's people......
After listening to Beryl's introduction, Joga completely understood the situation in this area, and also understood why these people put P· B is a lifesaver.
On the instructions of the American father, the fighters of the Kurdish Democratic Army fought against Isis never stopped.
In good conscience, the military sponsorship of Laos and the United States is indeed in place......
Help train soldiers, help supply weapons, help provide political support.
The only demand of the United States is that the Kurdish forces bite Isis to the death, and at the same time put pressure on the Syrian government army and Russia, forcing Russia to continue to increase its investment in Syria.
Unfortunately, when most of the men are mobilized, the elderly, women, and children living in Isis-controlled areas are a bit less human.
The people near the steppe have the ability to run away a long time ago, just like the Kurdish refugees who ran to Baghdad, those who stayed behind were unable to leave, and there were worries.
They have nowhere to go and can't go far, so they can only live in fear with the help of international volunteers and international charities.
Fortunately, the situation of those Kurdish female soldiers has touched some feminists!
The romantic feelings in a woman's nature make many women come here without hesitation.
In today's flood of women, when a group of European and American women give up their rich lives and go to the battlefield, public opinion will naturally be biased, and at the same time, a small number of international organizations will take action.
Ironically, the media activists and political activists who accompanied the women's movement did not pay attention to or deliberately avoided the issue......
They are afraid that they will be pulled into this quagmire, and stealing chickens will not make it a mess!
It wasn't until Princess Emina stepped forward and stood up in front of her radiant head, and then P· B took the most dangerous part on his shoulders, and the activists 'suddenly' remembered it, and then began to charge along the Feminist Highway driven by Princess Emina.
Joga never doubted that Princess Emina could succeed, because he knew very well that women, especially when women's rights began to fight against the wind, with the current political climate, no one could withstand it.
After figuring out the reason for the martyr battalion, Qiao Jia was impressed by the courage and enthusiasm of the 'martyrs', and after hesitating for a long time, he made a phone call to the air base in Baghdad......
Joga felt that he should invest more in the Air Force......
It's too nonsense to buy fighter jets temporarily, but two Iraqi F-16s on lease will be put there after they are ready, and it will definitely be no problem to pull them out when needed.
And P· Sooner or later, B's Super Tucano will have to be replaced by the more cost-effective Griffon-1 ·
Then simply pull your toucan over and let the Iraqi government buy the order, and let P· Man B does the work for your Air Force.
Boss Joe has six toucans, get four first, and I will bring my own fighter pilots to help you fight, each of which costs $15 million, and it is estimated that the Iraqi government will not bargain.
Because the unit price of the toucans sent by Lao Mei is more than 24 million US dollars, and the electronic equipment inside also has various locks, P· B's no.
At the same time, Joga also contacted Steven and asked him to lure MPRI into bringing two more Predators to Iraq with a new lucrative contract.
This thing is really easy to use, if it weren't for the money spent on Lao Mei, Qiao Jia would like to contact the 'Three Yellow Chickens' who are happy in Baghdad, and ask him to help ask if he can rent a few pterosaurs to use.
Beryl and a few militia leaders who stayed behind were stunned by the 'big business' that Boss Joe talked about on the phone.
For the first time, they saw Boss Qiao's energy, and those weapons of war that they could not reach in the past were as ordinary as second-hand cars in Boss Qiao's place.
The F-16 said to borrow it, the drone is available as it wants, and the artillery is on its way......
This amazed the militia and boosted their confidence.
After Qiao Jia hung up the phone, Beryl hesitated for a long time and said, "Sir, some of us want to go to support our battalion commander, can you take care of this place a little after we leave?" ”
"Don't worry, we're only going partially, delivering supplies to the battalion commander and removing some seriously injured sisters."
P· Person B is generally not used to watching women go to war, Sanderson couldn't hold it anymore at this moment, he walked up to Joga and said, "Boss, you can't go to the front, let's go." ”
Watching a bunch of women in front of us doesn't fit our temperament.
As Sanderson spoke, he was hammered with fierce hemostats.
The female medical officer with a big scar on her face gritted her teeth and said: "Boss, let's go, we can't let them continue to be so hard, let's go and guide the bombing, and let the terrorists live in peace for a while." ”
Choga couldn't say a reason for refusing, he nodded and said, "Then go ahead and say hello to the terrorists with a bomb."
Saying that, Joga looked at Beryl and said, "I ask you to organize the people in the town to retreat to the south, just follow the railway line to the vicinity of the Iraqi border." ”
I can see from the map that there are several neighboring towns, but now there are very few inhabitants there.
My men can't cross the border with their cannons for the time being, but they've got plenty of supplies, and all of you can make a home around there for the time being.
That's where the safety zone begins......
When Beryl heard this, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, do you mean to give up that bridge?" ”
Saying that, Beryl bowed her head and said mournfully: "We sacrificed a lot of people there!"
Qiao Jia listened, opened the electronic map and looked at it carefully, and finally shook his head and said: "Don't give up, this place surrounded by small rivers and Gobi is very good, and you can resist most of the security pressure by holding that point." ”
I don't know how big the safe zone will be in the future, but that doesn't stop us from preparing in advance.
You wait a few days, and I'll send a batch of 120mm mortars over to increase the defenses there.
With the cooperation of the Air Force, it is possible to hold a bridge.
"Keeping one point can make hundreds of square kilometers of land relatively safe, and it is worth spending a little more!"
When Beryl heard this, she looked back at the militia representative, then looked at Qiao Jia and said, "Sir, we can keep our homeland, right?" ”
Qiaojia nodded and said, "If everything goes well, then there should be no problem." ”
But now is the time when Isis is at his most arrogant, and I can't make a big move in Syria, so you still honestly retreat to the border first.
"There are Kurdish militias that have been evacuated to Baghdad from the neighborhood, you can talk to them and let them take you to get acquainted with P· B's style of doing things. ”
Saying that, Qiao Jia stood up and rubbed his temples that were a little swollen, and said, "I need to rest for a while, give you a day to prepare, and start evacuating the day after tomorrow." ”
"I'll be here and wait, and if you have any reasonable needs, I'll help you whenever I can get there."
The evacuation of the town's personnel lasted several days.
Joga fulfilled his promise to Nice and did not take any unnecessary risks.
And while he was busy, the United States, far across the ocean, was working hard.
