Chapter 657 Desert Sabre

Bush, the Sr., looked at this offensive plan, and the Seventh Army mobilized from Germany and the 18th Airborne Army in the past, were the most powerful military forces. These military forces were mainly used to encircle and annihilate the Iraqi Republic Guard, while the joint forces of the Arab countries, that is, the army dominated by Pakistan and Saudi troops, will restore Kuwait City.

The hard bones were solved by the US military, and the delicious meat was handed over to the joint army, especially Pakistan!

Bush was unacceptable to such a plan. He shook his head and said, "How about changing the 18th Airborne Army and the Eastern Front Joint Force?"

Change? Listening to Bush's suggestion, General Brent Scocroft, the National Security Assistant, couldn't help but shake his head: "We troops form a pliers to kill Iraq's most elite Republican Guard. The 18th Airborne Army has a arduous task. To control Highway 8, it is mainly to prevent the Iraqi army from retreating when the war is unfavorable. If it is handed over to the joint army to defend, I am afraid that the Iraqi army will rush over at that time. They will not be able to resist and put the Iraqi army back."

"Then what are our combat goals?" Bush asked back.

"Restoring Kuwait."

"Yes, our combat plan is carried out with this goal, and we must let everyone know that, especially our American people, our army has revived Kuwait City!" Bush said: "This is the best explanation for those who died in battle. Let the Arab coalition forces do this kind of surround behind it. Besides, don't we still have an air force? With the support of the air force, even if the Iraqi army retreats, the joint army does not stop it, and there are still air forces attacks along the way."

The most powerful thing in the United States is the Air Force. It is too easy to use the Air Force to attack the ground. In the past few years, Pakistan also relied on its powerful air force to eliminate Indian armored divisions in the border areas.

The one who restores Kuwait City must be the American army! This is what Bush Sr. is the most persistent. After all, the last time Dhahran was attacked, more than a thousand people died in the United States. Such heavy casualties, the United States must prove it.

What is best to boost morale? Of course, the US military easily restores the entire Kuwait! Then end the war with a decent attitude, proving the absolute strength of the US military. Proving that the United States can defend the security of its allies!

Bush is a politician, and he must consider the issue from a political perspective. Even if some Iraqi troops are released, it will not leave any regrets on his side. The restoration of Kuwait is the greatest success of the United States!

Hearing Bush's words, everyone lowered their heads thoughtfully. The last time the Killing Helan incident had a great impact on the United States, and it was the most important to inspire the morale of the US military.

Restoring Kuwait must be the US military! Otherwise, Pakistan will occupy the benefits.

The news from the senior management was sent back to the Joint Command in Saudi Arabia, commanding the battles of Grenada and other countries. General Schwartzkopf, who has always advocated high-tech reforms in the army, was very dissatisfied with this combat operation. The combat effectiveness of the joint army could not stop the Iraqi army from fleeing! However, the instructions of the senior management could not be changed. Therefore, General Schwartzkopf could only retreat and acted with the British Army's First Armored Division in the attack sequence.

The British First Armored Division is one of the only two remaining division-level units in Britain that can fight at any time. It is also the strongest armed force in the British Army. Since its establishment, the division has participated in World War II, Persian War, Afghan War and Iraq War.

This armored division mainly includes the 7th Armored Brigade, nicknamed Desert Rat, and the 20th Armored Brigade. Nicknamed Iron Fist, Direct Communications Regiment of the 1st Division, Army Air Force of the 1st Division, nicknamed Bobcat, and the 28th Royal Engineer Regiment.

The main equipment of this division is the Challenger Tank, and the most proud armored force in Britain. With their ground power, it can prevent Iraq's army from retreating.

With the orders of Bush, after a month and a half of air raids, the ground war finally began.

On April 4, 1993, on the 46th day of Operation Desert Storm, the huge American ground forces finally began to take action. This operation is code-named Desert Saber!

At 22:00 p.m. local time in the United States, President Bush delivered a speech at the White House: "In view of the fact that the Iraqi government has not yet agreed to withdraw troops from Kuwait, I have ordered the US Gulf Commander Schwartzkopf to use US ground forces to drive Iraqi troops out of Kuwait with other participating countries. The final battle of the Gulf War is about to begin, and we will work to drive all Iraqi troops out of Kuwait's territory!"

Bush's words were full of pride, and at the other end of the earth, hiding in an underground building in reinforced concrete, Saddam also delivered a speech: "The Iraqi army will fight bravely and smash the Americans' offensive attempts. The great Arab world does not welcome interracial colonists!"

The declaration of war has ended and the general offensive is about to begin.

The pride of the US military, the vanguard of rapid response, is known as the "American Emergency Corps". The 18th Airborne Army of the US Army is a rapid response force that can be deployed quickly in any region of the world. This army includes the 101st Airborne Division, the 82nd Airborne Division, the 24th Mechanized Infantry Division, and the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment. These powerful troops, together with the 6th French Light Armored Division, will invade Kuwait and occupy the city of Kuwait in the shortest time. This army is commanded by Lieutenant General Luke of the United States.

Just as the president spoke, the ground forces in this army, the 24th Mechanized Infantry Division, the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, and the 6th French Light Armored Division, had already moved to the border between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

At the same time, in the base behind, two airborne divisions were also on standby to capture Kuwait City!

Among them, the main force of the attack is naturally the 3rd American Armored Cavalry Regiment, which is a highly mobile mechanized force. This army, established in 1846, is one of the oldest troops of the US Army. It has participated in seven major wars and 36 battles, including the First and Second World Wars.

Moreover, this armored force is best at desert combat and usually pays great attention to actual desert combat training. It is called the "army desert combat expert."

Although the number of people is not large, it only includes 3 tank battalions, 1 artillery battalion and support team, and the main force is 11 tanks, but in the historical Gulf War, such a unit was running back and forth following three Iraqi armored divisions.

Now, from the station to come here, this armored force is waiting for the supply of the supply vehicle behind. After completing the supply, the force will drive straight into Kuwait City!

The m1 tank has many advantages. The depleted uranium armor is very powerful and can block the direct shooting of armor-piercing bombs of all Iraqi tanks. The fire control system is advanced and the power system is high. The driving tank can accelerate quickly.

However, the disadvantage of this tank is that it is too oily. The logistics needs of the gas turbine tank are simply abnormal. Only the US's supply capacity can ensure the needs of the tank.

Before the attack, they were on the border line and needed to recharge another fuel supply. If it went well, they could rush to Kuwait City at dawn.

US Army Captain Mike couldn't help but feel anxious when he looked at these refueling cars. Although he had practiced many times, when he arrived on the battlefield, fuel was also an important reason for his restrictions.

There was a rumbling sound in the sky in the distance. It was the ah-64 armed helicopter of the 101 Aerial Assault Division. These guys started the helicopter and could fly over quickly. Thinking of other brother units, they could go over with Blackhawk helicopters. They had to advance on the ground, and Mike felt a little unhappy.

However, the final decision on the outcome of the war is still ground war! Without the advancement of these tank troops on their own, they would not be able to win the ground!

Just as the armored forces were cheering, the city of Jehra, central Kuwait was outside the city.

"Quick, fast, fast!" The missile brigade leader shouted: "Hold up and launch immediately!" More than 20 launch vehicles were quickly mounted and mounted almost at the same time.

They moved from near Basra five days ago. In order to avoid air strikes by multinational forces, they walked for two days and hid in Jehra for a few days, just to wait for today.

If you don’t fight, you will have an amazing record!

In order to shorten the launch time, they refilled fuel in advance before dispatching, and calculated the launch elements. As long as they entered the predetermined position, they could launch the missiles!

Their goal is the American army two hundred kilometers away!

Two hundred kilometers, for the Scud missile, it only takes about two hundred seconds, less than three minutes. Even if the missile is launched, it is discovered by the US military, and the target has no time to react. How far will it go in three minutes? It is only three kilometers at the full speed of the m1a1 tank! Moreover, the other party is still working!

At this time, their field troops were not accompanied by Patriot missiles at all! Those missiles were supported and chassis were only needed to prevent air defense from the ground and could not accompany the army!

After the last attack on Dhahran, Iraq's missile forces stopped and had not taken action these days. Now, it's time to fight back with all its might!

"Start!" As the command sounded, missiles dragged their flames and left the launch vehicle.

If you want to conquer Iraq with a powerful army, you will have to pay a huge price! These flying swords are Saddam's weapons for counterattack! (~^~)
