Chapter seven hundred and sixty third empty city
Historically, after the Cold War, the United States laid off a large number of troops and finally kept the total number of troops at about one million. Even so, it issued a slogan to win two local wars at the same time, showing the strong combat effectiveness of Captain America.
Now, the Cold War has just ended, and the huge US military power has not begun to be cut. The troops withdrawn from Europe have been largely sent to the Middle East.
The number of American captains gathered in the Middle East exceeded one million! Other NATO countries also sent troops to help overthrow the rogue Iranian government.
However, most countries participated in the war in the form of air forces, and only the old imperialist Britain sent ground troops.
Pakistan, Port Guader.
As a main offensive direction, there were 300,000 American Captains gathered here, and heavy m1a1 tanks, which were also gathered in Guadal Port, and all American Captains were nervously preparing for the battle.
There are also a large number of American ships at the port. Their goal is to capture the major oil-producing areas in southeastern Iran and advance to the Port of Abbas!
Advance water and land, and act together!
September 1994, for the Middle East, it was still a hot season. On the third day of this month, the long-prepared military operations of the US military began again!
Guader Port is only a few dozen kilometers away from the Iranian border! Without notifying the Pakistani government, Captain America marched quickly west along the road.
The tank tracks stirred up countless dust, and the entire earth was followed by violent vibrations, as if they were earthquakes.
"Boom, rumble." The gas turbine was roaring, and the steel dragon rushed towards the west.
An hour later, Captain America reached the border, and the Apache armed helicopters had arrived, destroying several outposts on the border, and crushing the entire army from the border line!
In order to prevent the invasion of the US military, most of the Iranian troops were mobilized to the Western Front. After all, the American troops stationed in Iraq were Iran's biggest threat.
Iran is a big country with a vast territory, but due to the large number of mountains, it is inconvenient to transport. Before the US Captain took action, it had repeatedly investigated the satellites and determined that there was no main force in the southeastern region of Iran.
Now, Captain America is progressing smoothly, and it has also determined the correctness of the previous reconnaissance. At the same time, there are many mountainous areas in the southwest. In order to speed up, Captain America is rushing along the coastline for a long distance.
Along the coastline, we can make full use of the advantages of the US Navy. The navy's amphibious assault ships can undertake air cover and fuel supply tasks on land. In this way, the US Army rushed on the flat land of the coastline and ran 800 kilometers in a day!
In front of Captain America is already the Port of Abbas in Iran!
The Port of Abbas is an important port in southeastern Iran and the capital of the coastal province. It is located on the northern shore of the Bay of Hormuz and stalks the exit of the Persian Gulf. It is equipped with Geshm Island and Hormuz Island as barriers. Due to the continuous silt, the water in the port is shallow and large ships cannot be passed through. However, during the Iran-Iraq War, it developed rapidly and was an important port in Iran.
At the same time, this is also an important port of the Iranian Navy. One-third of the Iranian Navy's ships are distributed here, in Abbas, and there is also an Iranian aviation base.
The Port of Abbas is the southern gate of Iran and the post of the Strait of Hormuz. Losing this place is equivalent to the entire Persian Gulf being closed, and the Iranians even gave up here!
What does this mean? When the US Captain, which can compete with the huge Soviet army, is working hard to solve the Iranian issue, the Iranians are finally scared! In some places that cannot be defended, the Iranians have given up on guard! Especially now, the Iranians have never expected that they will rush to the direction of Guadal Port in Pakistan. They do not have much armed forces in the Port of Abbas, so they will make their most correct choice and escape!
The northern part of Abbas Port is a mountainous area. If they hide in the mountainous area, it is really not easy to clear it. Moreover, most of them are ordinary Iranians!
It easily and simply won the Port of Abbas. The US Middle East Command issued an order to rest for a day in Port of Abbas, and continue to move towards the west early tomorrow morning and continue to take over the coastal areas!
Later generations, some people analyzed that it was this order that caused heavy losses to Captain America. It was very dangerous for them to gather in Port Abbas. This was a serious mistake made by the US Middle East Command and a complete dereliction of duty!
But now, everyone welcomes this order.
Keep moving forward? Do you know what it feels like to run more than 20 hours a day and run more than 800 kilometers in a day? This is not a high-end car and driving on the highway! It is rushing over the southeast coastline, and there is no road at all, and it is completely walking in hilly areas!
Whether the tank is suspended by torsion rods or liquids, or whether the members of the tank are sitting in the hanging basket, in short, driving a tank for a long distance is a hundred times more uncomfortable than squeezing a green car.
The constant bumps and the roar of the engine will make every part of the body feel sore. The off-road of the tank is a torture.
At that time, in order to quickly raid, before the Iranians responded, they rushed to Abbas, seized this important city, and closed the gates to the Persian Gulf.
Now that this goal has been achieved, the Iranians chose to escape and regained the city without bloodshed. It is time for the US military to take a break!
The tank turned off the engine, kicked open the door of the building next to it, went inside to find a comfortable bed, and had a good sleep! Wait until dawn tomorrow, regained your energy and continued to move forward!
The American soldiers slept quite comfortably this time.
Although this is a port city and the oil industry, the pollution is not serious. From here, you can see the clear sky and countless stars, blinking your eyes and looking at the land of the Middle East.
Because he was slow to start and could not find the bed, the third-level sergeant commander Short only grabbed a Persian carpet. He layed down next to the tank and lay down. Even so, it was much more comfortable than inside the tank.
He should have just fallen asleep while tired, but for some reason, there was always a sense of uneasiness in his heart. He did not fall asleep, quietly touching the cross on his chest. It was given to him by his mother before joining the army.
Stroking the cross with his hands, Short said silently in his heart, Mother, please bless me! (To be continued.)
