Chapter 728 People's War
"Mr. President, I wonder if you have heard of the People's War?" Shostakovic said to Saddam.
People's War! The proposer of this set of military theory is the founding leader of China! This was founded by China in an arduous war!
The power of the people is endless. Only by relying on the vast masses of people and pulling the enemy into the vast ocean of people's war will the enemy be defeated!
Looking at the current situation Iraq is facing very similar to China at the time. For the Iraqis, the United States is a complete invader, and the Americans also have the advantage in weapons.
A living example of this war is the Afghan War in the past few years. The Soviet invasion was unjust. The Afghan people united to resist the Soviet invasion. Although the Soviet Union quickly defeated the Afghan government forces and supported the puppet government, they were trapped in the ocean of people's war and were constantly attacked and dragged down by guerrillas. In the end, the Soviets had to withdraw.
War must be supported by advanced military concepts! The military concept proposed by Shostakovic now is the People's War!
Saddam shook his head: "I'm sorry, I haven't heard of it."
As a hero in the Arab world and a great figure like Saladin, he is familiar with various allusions recorded in the Quran, but is not familiar with the thoughts of Eastern countries.
"People's war is to seek class liberation or resist foreign aggression, organize and arm the broad masses of people to engage in war. This kind of war is in line with the fundamental interests of the oppressed classes and oppressed nations, and is the driving force for the development of human history. Taking the people's army as the backbone and relying on the broad masses of people to engage in people's war, this is a fruitful war situation." Shostakovic said.
Hearing this, Saddam became even more confused and looked at Shostakovic with an innocent look on his face. Is he too stupid?
So Shostakovic could only change his words: "Simply put, it is to mobilize the people and fight the Americans together! For example, we can give weapons to the people, so that once the Americans really come in, in addition to our regular army, our people can also fight the Americans together!"
It turns out that people are going to fight the Americans too! I can understand it if you say so? Saddam nodded with relief: "This idea is not bad, Ibrahim, we can count the excellent guys who are full of hatred towards the United States and want to join our army but cannot satisfy their wishes, we can send weapons to them first."
The Iraqi army has been expanded into a huge army of more than one million people after the Iraq War. However, there are still many young men with high fighting enthusiasm who cannot get the qualification to enter the army and can just give them weapons, although heavy weapons are not good. There are still many AK47s that were eliminated by the army.
"Yes," said Ibrahim.
In fact, it is very risky to give weapons to the people. Who knows if there will be speculators among the people? Take the weapons sent out and then resist the government? Even if it is a robbery or something, it will cause social security to be chaotic. But now, the focus is on fighting against the Americans. The army of 500,000 or 600,000 is not a joke.
So, after a brief consideration, Saddam decided to start with the most active young men and give them weapons.
The American air strikes continued, riding in an inconspicuous car and quietly leaving Baghdad, Shostakovic was still a little uneasy. How likely is Iraq to win this upcoming war?
After all, the United States is the most powerful country in the world. Once their war machine is fully launched, it can tie with the Soviet Union and is now used to deal with a small Iraq. Is there any suspense in this kind of war?
Iraq will definitely fail! Saddam, the "hero" of the Middle East, will eventually be crucified by the United States.
November 3, 1993.
Pakistan, Port Guader.
"Down, fall down, fall down!" A soldier standing on a high place was commanding. The huge m1 main battle tank, the gas turbine engine at the tail roared, and the tracks moved upwards, slowly moving upwards into the belly of the huge monster.
It was almost a few centimeters away from the tank in front. With the crunching sound of brakes, the tank stopped. The people next to him took the fixing rope and fixed it to the hook on the ground. After a while, it would be no joke if it loosened after taking off.
One after another, as the main battle tank continued to retreat onto the ground-effect aircraft, the countdown of the attack was also constantly jumping.
These were the first mechanic and infantry divisions of the Seventh Army of the United States Army. The First Armored Division, which was supposed to be the leader, had to retreat and become a reserve force due to heavy losses in the last Gulf War.
Although this is a mechanized infantry division, its combat effectiveness is quite strong. As you can see from the number one, this mechanized infantry division nicknamed Dahong. It was born in 1917 during World War I. It was called the 1st American Expeditionary Division at that time. The total number of personnel in the entire division was 1, mainly including 1 armored brigade; 2 mechanized infantry brigade, with a total of 5 heavy tank battalions; 5 mechanized infantry battalions; and 1 combat aviation brigade.
As the most important armored combat vehicles of the US military, there are 29 M1 main battle tanks; 3 M2 infantry combat vehicles and M3 cavalry combat vehicles, and 692 other armored vehicles; it also includes 127 helicopters of various types, including ah-64 attack helicopters, ah-1 attack helicopters, uh-6b multi-purpose helicopters, etc.
Such a mechanic and invaders almost caught up with the assault ability of an armored division in China, and now the task they have to complete is also the most difficult and glorious.
Go straight to Baghdad and capture Saddam!
Now, ten large ground-effect aircraft are loading these big guys at the port. Although the first wave can only transport eighty main battle tanks, after US reconnaissance, there are no heavy troops near Baghdad, Iraq! After they arrive, they will penetrate directly into the heart of Iraq!
And when the second and third batches of troops arrive, they will completely eliminate the Saddam regime!
Moreover, when we set out now, it will be dark after we arrive in Iraq. If Iraq is not prepared, the second batch will arrive in the middle of the night and the third batch will arrive tomorrow morning. In this way, the Americans have the strength of a powerful mechanized and infantry division, which is enough to encircle and annihilate Baghdad!
This is a dangerous move, but the effect will be better, and you can win by surprise!
Seeing these tanks constantly boarding the ship, the commander of the First Maneuver Division also sighed that the United States, with the most advanced technology, does not have such ground-effect aircraft! If there were fifty such ground-effect aircraft, the entire armored division would be transported in one wave!
Two hours later, the preparations were over, and the American soldiers with camouflage cream on their faces were sitting on these ground-effect aircraft, waiting to set off.
"Buzz, buzz." With the roar of the TF-41 engine, the first ground-effect aircraft began to slide on the water surface, and the speed became faster and faster. The lift engine in front continued to exert force. An air cushion slowly formed under the fuselage. The entire aircraft slowly came out of water and flew up on the sea surface.
Through the porthole and looking outside, the American soldiers were still a little excited. This ground-effect aircraft is so amazing!
One ground-effect aircraft after another, constantly leaving the water and flying rapidly on the sea, they will go west and enter the Persian Gulf!
The fighter jets at the airport also began to take off. Although the ground-effect aircraft was a surprise attack and the altitude was very low, it also needed the escort of fighter jets. On this ground-effect aircraft, there were more than 500 American soldiers, even if one of them was destroyed, it was not something the United States could tolerate.
The war machine of the United States finally began to rotate, and the battle is about to take place again!
Islamabad.
I don’t know when it started, lighting a cigarette has become a way for Mhamad to think about problems.
Xiao's report has been sent back. Except for the decentralization of command, Lao Sa has been reluctant to follow the other suggestions, especially to transfer the two most combative armored masters back from Kuwait to defend Baghdad.
Even if the Americans have air support, these two armored divisions can still delay Americans' actions as long as they stay in the outskirts of Baghdad and do not fight with the Americans.
However, I always feel something is wrong.
Mhamad kept thinking that the Americans had a surprise attack this time, and only used the troops of a mechanic and infantry division. What about the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops? The Americans were so angry this time!
Some Saudi Arabia have hidden in the west of Riyadh in order to prevent being attacked by Iraq's Scud missiles. Even if these armored troops are operating now, it will take one or two days to reach the border area, right?
The Americans' attack this time was so strange. Only such a force attack was not like the plan formulated by the Americans who were invincible in the world?
Apart from this surprise attack, they should have any other tricks, so what exactly is it?
Looking at this map, Mhamad was thinking, if Iraq collapsed, will the Americans directly occupy it?
Of course not! Americans must build a puppet government! And this puppet government was naturally formed by the Kurds in northern Iraq. In order to stop the Kurds' division, Lao Sa even used chemical weapons!
