Chapter two hundred and sixty third defeat
Many times, God always makes some very bad jokes with people, just like Zhou Ming and others in Badina. After the Air Battle of Oud and Port ended, Zhou Ming and Zou Yue began to prepare for Salm's reception, but soon a week passed, but Salm did not send any news, which made Zhou Ming and Zou Yue and others a little anxious.
"Maybe it is the recent suspension of offensive by many national forces that Salm has the idea that the US team has limited attack capabilities, so he will also think that he can withstand the offensive of many national forces." Zou Yue analyzed.
"However, the suspended offensive is only because the United States is launching an investigation into the Battle of European and German Port. Some members of parliament suspected that the commander-in-chief of the multinational forces, Normandy, wasting ammunition for some special reasons, and wasting taxpayers' money. On the other hand, the multinational forces consumed a large amount of supplies in this battle, so the intensity of the attack will be reduced now." Ambassador Lin Hong said.
"This American is really interesting. It's a war. Since it's a high-intensity attack, it's normal to have a lot of consumption. I didn't expect that this would be investigated. Isn't it a hindrance of the army ahead? It gave the Iraqi army time to regroup." Zou Yue turned to Zhou Ming, "Comrade Zhou Ming, is this the relationship between war and economic and political that you have always emphasized?"
Faced with Zou Yue's question, Zhou Ming nodded: "Originally, not all consortiums in the United States support this war, so it is normal to initiate an investigation by consuming materials. Anyway, this is not the first time those Americans have done such internal strife."
Zou Yue and others nodded in agreement with Zhou Ming's words. As Chinese soldiers, they knew this very well. Isn't General Van Vritte on the battlefield of Shangganling that he was investigated by Congress because he fired more than 40,000 shells every day at the Volunteer's position and cut off a mountain. In the end, he had to leave the Korean battlefield? Now Normandy is just a copy of Van Vritte's at that time.
"However, even if the US military has internal strife, they have never stopped attacking and still insist on bombing the Iraqi army every day. And they have problems giving the Iraqi army time to reassemble." Zou Yue said with a frown.
"General Zou, do you think Normandy deliberately used this opportunity to gather the Iraqi army, and then launch a large-scale offensive after the other party has gathered to directly defeat Iraq's resistance?" Zhou Ming took Zou Yue's words and asked.
Zhou Ming's rhetorical question made Zou Yue's eyes lit up. He nodded vigorously and said, "That's right, I think so, because if the enemy is too dispersed, the US military's equipment advantage cannot be exerted at all, but if the enemies are concentrated together, they will easily make a key breakthrough. More importantly, this will also destroy the enemy's confidence through successive victory and make the enemy lose their will to resist."
Which one is easy to kill a lamb crawling on the ground and a dog that grinned and bites people? As long as this question has a normal IQ, it will be easy to choose the answer. Then, as the commander-in-chief of the multinational forces, Normandy, naturally, will do this multiple-choice question.
"Then the next three military centers of Basra, Sumna and Najaf are probably the key targets of the US military's attack." Zhou Ming analyzed.
Zou Yue also nodded and said, "That's right, because as long as these three obstacles are cleared, the ground troops of the multinational forces can go north along the Tigris River and enter Badina, the capital of Iraq, and end the war."
After Zou Yue said this, he let out a long sigh, then he looked at Zhou Ming and sighed: "Comrade Zhou Ming, you are such a military genius. If possible, I really want to recruit you into the army. If you were in the General Staff, I believe our army will definitely be even more powerful!"
Zhou Ming said embarrassedly in response to Zou Yue's praise: "Actually this is nothing. It's just that the Americans do not have the same trick as surround Wei and save Zhao, so it's easier to speculate."
Zhou Ming was really embarrassed, after all, Zou Yue relied on his military understanding.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) The trends of the US military measured are real skills, and I am just reading the text based on my memory. If I really join the army like this, it will be a real disaster for the country! And compared to the army and politics, I hope to be a big capitalist with wealth.
With Zhou Ming's prediction of the war, on February 7, the second wave of large-scale offensive of the US military finally arrived.
It was still at an hour in the morning. Under the escort of more than 300 F15, F16 and F18 fighters, 60 F117 stealth fighters, 40 B52 long-range bombers, took off from various military bases in the Gulf region and flew towards Iraq under the cover of night.
When the US military planes lined up in the air, on the other side, in the Iraqi barracks in Sumner, he suddenly sat up from the bed alone, and his movements woke up his comrades in the next bed: "Baker, what's wrong with you? Have you had another nightmare that would go to hell?"
They were the surviving ace pilot Yashian and the radar station recruit Baker. They were attacked by the US Air Force on the way to retreat. After a pessimistic discussion, they met another retreating friendly force, and thus they returned to the Sumner Barracks.
Baker shook his head, and he said to Ashien with a little confused: "You may not believe it. I feel very depressed now, like the stuffiness before the sandstorm comes. I feel that this Sumner military camp is going to be attacked."
"No way? The Sumner Army Barracks has returned to China, and the Americans' attack intensity has been greatly weakened recently. I heard that the previous attack consumed too much material. The United States is very dissatisfied with this. Will they launch such a long-distance attack?" Yashien said in confusion.
His doubts were quickly answered, and the shrill air defense alarm in the military camp was sounded without warning.
Yashien and Baker quickly got out of bed with their clothes, but before they could go out, the explosion began one after another.
As the missiles roared sharply, clusters of orange-red fireballs exploded on the air defense positions and airports of Sumner Barracks.
"What's going on? Are those who observe the Thunder War idiots? How can you wait until the enemy's planes arrive before you can raise the alarm?" Yashien shouted angrily.
Baker was staring blankly on the side, and he said blankly: "It's an American stealth aircraft. The radar can't capture the traces of such aircraft at all. The current air defense alarm is announcing the enemy's second round of attack."
The movements and stillness in the air perfectly proved Baker's prediction. Just as the explosion had just ended a few minutes ago, a rumbling sound came from the sky, as if countless muffled thunders were hidden in the night sky. As the muffled thunder sounded, the starry sky became dark, as if there was something huge in the air, making people feel sincerely frightened.
The ace pilot immediately reacted: "That's the American b52 bomber, let's go out!"
As he said that, Ashien immediately ran out of the room with Baker. At this time, the bombing came immediately. A bomb was thrown down like rain, falling into the barracks and bursting out brilliant sparks.
"Where is the air defense firepower? And our Air Force? Aren't there the most advanced air defense missiles and fighters here? Have you all died in the first round of stealth fighter attacks just now?" Yashien roared.
It seemed as if someone heard Yashien's roar. When he finished his roar, the anti-aircraft machine guns on the air defense positions were all disguised and spitting out flames in the air. On the other side, at the airport, planes were driven out of the hangar, and the ground crew repaired the runway, and these fighters took off. But at this time, the third round of attacks from the US military arrived again.
The protagonists of this round of attack are the f15 and f16 fighters. They dived from high altitude under the pilot's driving, and the air defense positions in the military camp were crazy missile bombardment.
Air-to-ground missiles dragged their long tails into various defenses.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) A mushroom cloud exploded in the empty position. I don’t know how many Iraqi soldiers were overturned into the air before they had time to escape, and their bodies were torn into pieces like rags.
"It's over, this is the devil's punishment! I don't want to die yet. I have my wife and children. I want to take them to God's heaven, and I don't want to go to hell! Ah!"
In the military camp, countless soldiers were screaming and running back and forth, aimless, but instinctively trying to stay away from danger.
Yashien and Baker were in the military camp. Beside these soldiers, they stared blankly at everything in front of them. The barracks not far away were blown up and burning. Countless black figures were shouting and running wildly. Under the reflection of the fire, they could even see the distorted expression of horror on the faces of those people. Everything was like the end of the world was coming.
These people lost their minds. Yashian and Baker saw clearly that in the running crowd, two of them just bumped head-on, and one of them immediately pulled out the gun from their waists and killed each other.
Among these screams, there were some women's shouts. At the battlefield hospital where Ashion and Baker were, I think someone took advantage of the chaos to attack their favorite doctors or nurses. After all, in this battlefield where there is today or tomorrow, once a human spirit collapses, everything will be done. No matter what animals or animals are, they are just **.
Ashion and Baker didn't stop all this, or they were powerless to stop anything.
"Col. How long do you think we can hold on in this war?" Baker murmured.
Yashien replied with a wry smile: "I don't know how long this country can last, but the soldiers can no longer hold on."
As he said, Ashion pointed his hand at the sky and said to Baker, "I can hear the engine of our plane, they have escaped and ran away from this battlefield."
Hearing this answer, Baker sat dejectedly on the ground. As a person who had experienced three air strikes, he knew very well that once the air force fled at this time, the next thing that would greet them was the enemy's crazy massacre.
The same thing was also staged at the two bases of Basra and Najaf, and the news that the three bases of Basra, Sumna and Najaf were attacked were immediately spread to the capital Badina.
Defense and Interior Minister Majid hurried into the presidential palace and came to Salm's bedroom, and asked his secretary to call him out of the bed of his two wives.
"What happened again? Don't tell me that our air force was ambushed at Odd Port again, and was wiped out again!" Salm said to Majid, his tone very harsh.
"I'm afraid the matter today is more serious than that of Odport Port." Majid helped to report to him the specific situation of the attacks on Basra, Sumner and Najaf bases, and particularly emphasized the fact that the Air Force escaped in the last battle.
Salm immediately slapped the table: "I should have hanged them all long ago!"
"President's cousin, it's useless to say this now. They've all run away, and we really need the support of the Air Force." Majid said helplessly, "Now, instead of holding the Air Force accountable, we might as well think about what to do next."
Faced with Majid's problem, Salm was silent. During the long war, Salm knew the military very well, so he understood that the situation had come like this. Basra, Sumna and Najaf were attacked, the air force fled at the last minute, the army's elite were all lost, and the army's morale was depressed. In this situation, it was impossible to defeat. Even if the original Kuwait army was fighting, Salm felt that he would fail.
Majid also understood the current situation, so he didn't speak, and only a feeling called despair spread throughout the room.
Finally, Majid made a suggestion to Salm: "Go to find the Chinese named Zhou Ming? Maybe he really has the ability to go against the will of heaven and change his fate like Allah?"
