The claim that the alleged terrorists were only 15 kilometres from the Baghdad airport is that the terrorists occupied a small town called Abu Qurai, near the airport in north-western Baghdad.

It has been turned into an advance base by Khatib Hafiz, and there are basically no civilians left.

If the Baghdad government forces want to counterattack the terrorists, they must first capture Abu Qurai.

In order to cope with the possible attack of the government army, Khatib Hafez deliberately increased the number of troops, from the original number of more than 500 to 1,000.

And in the plan that Wang Zhen gave them, there is no need to fight here......

The reason is that Wang Zhen feels that the government army can't be defeated at all, of course, it can be spent about a month with human lives, but that is meaningless.

In the plan, government forces need to set up two defensive lines around Abu Qurai to keep Abu Qurai firmly in the circle.

The current layout of the defense line is not as troublesome as it was during World War II, and you can just get on the excavator.

The government army will definitely not be able to defeat it, but it is still no problem to protect the excavators from digging trenches a kilometer away from Abu Qurai, and at the same time, the government army will use the excavated earth to build sandbag forts.

As soon as it was dark, the roar of machinery and the faint lights of the machine suddenly appeared a kilometer away, which immediately attracted the attention of the Abu Qurai terrorists.

Thinking that the government army was about to attack, they all got up from their beds and looked into the distance with a wary face.

Wait, wait, the roar of the engine kept going, but the attack did not come.

The lights were dark, and the terrorists had to send people to the front to reconnoitre.

A dozen people came out of the city, and deliberately dispersed so as not to attract attention from the other side, anyway, there was that kind of light all around the town, and by the moonlight and stars in the sky, they carefully touched in the direction of the light.

It's just that as soon as I walked out two or three hundred meters, a gunshot suddenly rang out in the darkness, "Da Da", "Da Da", "Da Da"

The sound of the shot was strange, dense and short, firing in an instant and stopping in an instant.

The terrorists, who heard the gunshots, immediately lay down and looked around with a wary expression.

Nothing to see.

Only where the gunshots rang out just now, three mercenaries dressed in gilly suits whispered in the channel: "Kill one." ”

"I'm going to take pictures." Saying that, a person crawled forward, more than 30 meters only, and soon climbed over, picked up the mobile phone, and did not dare to turn on the flash, so he took a black photo, and then took out a dagger and cut off his left ear as evidence.

In the battle plan, this is all exchangeable for money.

The gunfire stopped for three or four minutes, and the terrorists who came out, thinking that it was government troops, fired indiscriminately to scare people, so they got up from the ground and continued to grope over.

Just didn't go out a few dozen meters, in several directions, and at the same time there were dense and short gunshots again.

This is a battle plan specially added by Wang Zhen, considering that the government army's night combat ability is negative, Wang Zhen inserted such a method, hiring a large number of mercenaries, not using them to fight during the day, only responsible for the night vigil.

Mercenaries also like this kind of work.

Compared with the regular army, most of the mercenaries are very strong in individual combat, especially those who have been in the mercenary service for several years, even compared to the US military.

After all, when you are desperate on the battlefield, you don't look at nationality and skin color, and those who can survive are not rotten.

First of all, if 200 rounds of ammunition can't kill an enemy soldier, then today's work is equivalent to working in vain, and the salary is not enough to buy bullets......

But mercenaries are very strained in large-scale battles, especially compared with the regular armies of several large countries, of course, they are still much stronger than the military of these countries in the Middle East and Africa.

Therefore, this kind of vigil is more suitable for mercenaries, who can give full play to their strengths in fighting individually and in small teams, and their ability to fight in complex environments.

At least this time, the government forces outside were in full swing and were not harassed by terrorists at all.

……

The first line of defense was repaired in only about 3 hours, and not the whole city had to be encircled, the trenches and fortresses were segmented, and the main defense was the main traffic artery, and other places that were inconvenient to walk were only 100 meters apart before there was a section of trenches and fortresses, which could form crossfire and prevent terrorists from running away at any time.

Overnight, the terrorists did not rest, and the people sent out were all beaten with meat buns, and no news came back, and after receiving the news, Khatib Hafez told them to stand by on the spot, and he also wanted to see what the government army was doing.

When the day dawned, the terrorists discovered that the government forts had been repaired to a distance of 500 meters from Abu Qurai.

The direction is not straight, it is staggered from front to back, left and right, and a defensive line is about 150 meters in depth.

Not to mention the defenders of Abu Qurai, even Hadib Hafezi, who received the news from the front, was dumbfounded, why did you attack like this?

Repair the fortress all over the map, so you're victorious!

After Khatib Hafez immediately ordered an attack on the government defense line, whether it was really useful and what the quality was, this will only be known after the actual battle.

The terrorists are also really brave, concentrating their forces and ...... on the front Well, it's not frontal, it's surrounded on all sides, and I picked a random place to attack.

More than 300 people were dispatched in the first wave of the attack.

Modern warfare is not like in the past, with the large-scale emergence of automatic firepower, there has long been no such thing as a dense formation charge,

The actual combat is the straggler line pressed up, horizontally, there is only one person within more than ten meters, and the distance between the front and back is also a few meters, when the people in front of the person advance, the rear and the left and right are responsible for suppressing, and after rushing out a few meters, the person is replaced again.

Of course, this is talking about outside the city, when the battlefield is wide enough, and inside the city is another concept, and the team is still very close.

More than 300 people, after pressing out, the government forces have not opened fire.

Not to mention 500 meters, it is to 100 meters, which is also Mongolia for the Iraqi government army.

It's just 100 meters and 200 meters on time.

Until the terrorist front came within 200 meters, the first fire was fired by government mortars, and then by machine guns.

At the same time, the terrorists also began to return fire, first using mortars, whether in Mosul or Tikrit, or Ramadi, and the terrorists captured the equipment of the government army in its entirety, and the equipment was not bad at all.

At the very least, there are now three self-propelled guns in the city of Abu Qurai, with a range of about 20 kilometers, which were previously used to shell the Baghdad airport.

Mortars exchanged fire, machine gun fire suppressed, and both sides opened fire invariably.

For a while, the gunfire on the battlefield was continuous, and bullets swept across the positions of both sides, dense like raindrops.

While the terrorists were shooting, they dared to hunch forward, with hideous expressions on their faces.

On the other hand, on the side of the government army, even if it is in the trench and there are sandbags piled up around it, they will shoot through the gap, once they hear the sound of bullets hitting the sandbags, they will still hide in the trench in fright, and then raise their hands above their heads, the gun is stuck on the sandbags, and use the expert talent: Faith Shooting!

Of course, not all Iraqi soldiers are so 'talented', and there are still a small number of who are 'brave' in firing at the enemy.

After all, when the guns are loud on the battlefield and the adrenaline is rushing, many times you can't hear other sounds around you.

In particular, the soldiers in the forts were holding machine guns on the ground and carrying bulletproof steel plates.

And those who have used the expert-level talent, during the cooldown period of the faith shot, these soldiers still dare to raise their heads and continue to fight.

Some terrorists carrying RPGs half-crouched on the ground after approaching 150 meters and began to aim, and hit them as soon as they fired.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

Although most of them were missed, a small number of high-explosive warheads that hit the sandbag fortress blew up the fort.

Well, it was blown up, but it was just a two-meter gap in the sandbag fortress.

The effect can't be said to be none, it can only be said that it is almost nothing.

The government soldiers, whose lives were threatened, began to throw the sandbags that had been approved in advance in the trench towards the gap in the fortress, "pop pop", more than a dozen sandbags were thrown onto the gap, not to mention that the gap was directly sealed, but it was also blocked in half, and the soldiers of the government army did not delay the cat to continue shooting in the back.

The two sides were going back and forth on the battlefield, and people were constantly being hit by bullets and falling to the ground in convulsions, blood seeping into the Gobi Desert, most of the dead were terrorists, and after all, there were fortifications on the side of the government army, and there were few casualties.

The terrorists suffered a lot of losses, and finally rushed forward, but when they entered 50 meters, the accuracy of the machine guns increased significantly.

Coupled with the cooperation of the infantry in the trenches and the crossfire, the terrorists quickly left some of their bodies behind and retreated.

There is no way to fight this kind of charge, although the government army has a low will to fight, but in the end they are hiding in the trenches, the security is several times more than ten times, and the bullets are frantically consumed like money.

Not to mention, the hit rate is not low, under crossfire, more than 2,000 rounds of bullets can kill a person.

After all, there will always be unlucky people who are not firm in their faith who will be abandoned by their gods and hit by bullets with faith.

Faith in the art of shooting, first invented by the Soviets against the German army.

In order to alleviate attrition, the soldiers had to develop faith shooting, and eventually this combat skill was inherited and carried forward by the people of the Middle East and Black State.

Of course, not all of them were so timid that they did not dare to take the lead, the terrorists were not the German army, and they were not so accurate, and most of the government troops were still brave enough to fight under the protection of the trenches.

The terrorists were not iron-clad, and more than 300 people, after losing more than 60 percent, still did not see the possibility of rushing to the opponent's position, so they had to retreat.

And in the process of retreating, dozens of people were again left behind.

When the first attack failed, the terrorists did not give up, organized a second attack, and had to give up after leaving behind about 300 corpses, and finally withdrew under the cover of artillery.

As for why the attack was not covered by artillery, there were really not many shells.

Without heavy weapons, it was simply impossible to break through the lines of the trench fortress.

More than a dozen armed pickup trucks rushed up, either to break the machine guns, or to get close and be sent into the sky by a few RPGs.

If you want to break through the trench defense, it is better to cover it with helicopters, but if it doesn't work, you need to use tanks.

This is not the era of the 38 bars, the firepower is sparse, they are all automatic weapons, as long as the ammunition is enough, the gunfire will not stop.

In the era of Silly Damu, the trenches did not withstand the steel torrent of the US military, but that does not mean that it cannot deal with just a few terrorists.

Of course, there is no need to expect the government army to attack, maintaining the courage to shoot in the trenches is already the limit of the government army!

Receiving reports of the battle at the front, government forces and terrorists felt very differently.

The rear of government troops was jubilant.

Khatib Hafez is furious.

The first day of fighting ended hastily.

……

Khatib Hafiz gave an order to the defenders of Abu Qurai, "At night, prepare a few explosive pickup trucks, in his mind, the government army will continue to dig trenches and build forts towards Abu Qurai at night, and when the time comes, they will directly drive the pickup trucks and rush up!" ”

"It's only a few hundred meters away, and it doesn't take more than 1 minute to blow up their digging equipment and personnel, and then launch a night attack."

The ability of terrorists to fight at night is stronger than that of the government army, not one or two grades!

It's not that night vision equipment is popularized and well-equipped, but the will to fight is strong enough and not afraid.

If you can't see clearly at night, you will always feel that the terrorists are coming towards you, and if you break down, you will soon be defeated.

Unfortunately, the tactical planning was not done by the Iraqi government forces...... It was the US General Staff Headquarters, and it was Wang Zhen, a front-line person who had many exchanges of fire with terrorists and was experienced, who proposed the revision.

At night, the government forces continued to dig trenches and build forts, except that the direction was not towards Abu Qurai, but in the direction of Fallujah.

The ones in charge of guarding the night are still those mercenaries who have rested enough during the day.

The rotten night vision equipment is also better than the unequipped, and at night, when the self-detonating pickup truck rushed out, it was immediately discovered by the mercenaries who were on the night watch.

This self-detonating truck charge and road-opening tactics are all too familiar to the mercenaries who have worked in Baghdad for several years.

found that the pickup truck rushed over, and the mercenaries in the trench turned around and ran without even firing their guns, anyway, they couldn't hit if they were far away, and they were easy to be killed if they were close, so it was good to avoid the direction of the pickup attack.

The pickup truck is not a tank, it has no ability to cross the trench at all, and all the pickup trucks overturned under the inertia of rushing to the trench, and the crazy terrorists in the car detonated the bomb in the car the moment it flew up.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

Near the first trench, huge fireballs rose, and the firelight instantly illuminated the entire battlefield, and huge potholes appeared, directly opening a huge circular gap on the trench, and the sandbags near the gap were swept out by the shock wave.

After the explosion, the mercenaries shook their heads and threw the sand out of their heads, their heads were a little dizzy, and their chests were a little uncomfortable, but that's all.

Noise-canceling headphones are very cheap, the DPP militia is preparing tactical communication noise-canceling headphones, Wang Zhen ordered them directly from Taobao, although the quality is a little worse, the signal is a little weaker, and the call quality is not clear, but it is cheap, and it is only 30 dollars to Baghdad.

According to the usual tactics of terrorists, the self-detonating pickup is followed by frantically rushing infantry, which is very useful against government forces, especially at night.

Can be used against mercenaries......

With the help of night vision equipment, the mercenaries, who suffered few casualties, lay in the trenches that were still intact, and began to shoot at the terrorists who rushed within 200 meters.

"Dada" "Dada" "Dada" "Dada"

The dense gunfire resounded on the battlefield again, and it was not clear in the night, and the terrorists did not know how many casualties they had, but they felt that their comrades around them were constantly falling.

Several armed pickup trucks rushed up 200 meters away to cover the infantry charge, but were blown up on the spot by several precision shooters, and after dropping more than 100 corpses, the terrorists had no choice but to retreat again.

It was not until it was confirmed that the terrorists had retreated that the government forces in the second line of defense picked up their guns again, and they were already thinking of running away as soon as the front was breached.

Just highlight a rotten!

Fortunately, the first line of the night battle is arranged by mercenaries, and these people are the best at fighting this kind of chaotic war.

Overnight, the government army once again built two lines of defense in the direction of Fallujah, and the next day Khatib Hafez, who received accurate information, could no longer sit still, and the turtle tactics of the government army really made him hairy.

If they continue to build it like this, it's only 30 kilometers, and it will be repaired in a few days to Fallujah.

No matter how bad the combat effectiveness of the government army is, there are so many layers of defense lines, and the terrorists do not have so many lives to fill!

……

Ask for a monthly pass, brothers, the ranking of the old fireworks monthly pass has been dried to below 100!

I can't live my life!

The ball is over, and the old fireworks go back to more than 100!
