Middle East, Iraq.

If the air in the United States is sweet, the air in France is perfume-scented, and the air in China is pleasant and unrestrained, then the air in Iraq is the blood that stimulates nerves and lungs all the time.

The country has completely fallen, and after the first Iraq war, the second Iraq war, has become a country of complete destruction.

This is the White Flag Highway, and when Ge Zhen drove his jeep from Kuwait into Iraq, he immediately smelled a completely different kind of air.

Even if the highway was not involved in the war, it represents one of the most brutal pieces of history.

"Highway of Death." Ge Zhen spat out four words.

This was the war launched by Iraq in 1991, when 45 divisions and more than 4,000 tanks were dispatched to occupy Kuwait, and then the US military declared war on Iraq.

Under the air strikes of the US military, the Iraqi army's command system, communications and liaison, air defense system, and logistics system collapsed on all fronts, and the ground troops resisted for less than 100 hours.

Eighteen divisions were disabled, 62,000 were captured, nearly 4,000 tanks, 1,450 armoured carriers, 3,000 artillery pieces, and 107 aircraft were destroyed or captured, and only a few hundred casualties were suffered on the US side.

This road of death was caused by the US-led multinational air sniper when the Iraqi army was retreating, and it stretched for more than 30 kilometers, more than 2,000 Iraqi army vehicles were destroyed, and countless Iraqi soldiers died in the air raids.

They were on the road, on both sides of the road to pull up white flags and surrender, but it was useless, and the air raids continued until the road was littered with wreckage and the Iraqi army completely collapsed.

So, this Route 80 is known as the Highway of Death, also known as the White Flag Highway.

This war is not Iraq's initiative, but the opponent is still the multinational coalition led by the United States, and the combat method is still air strikes, which completely cripple the Iraqi troops in one go, and the whole country is in chaos.

Ge Zhen was to go to Nasiriyah, and from there to the north.

On the highway, many refugees fled south, stretching and intermittently, some in pickup trucks with items piled up two feet high; Some take buses, and the roof where the luggage is placed is full; There are also a lot of people who are dragging their families on foot.

Whether they fled by car or on foot, their eyes were the same, full of sadness and confusion.

Their homes were destroyed, and they had no idea where the next battle would be.

Kuwait? Maybe this is not a good choice because the two countries have a feud and they will definitely be treated unfairly if they enter Kuwait.

But the problem is that it is better to flee to Kuwait than to stay here, at least without the daily threat of death.

Ge Zhen took a cigarette in his mouth, and his eyes read from the eyes of these war refugees that the country was ruined and the family was ruined, although the mountains and rivers were still there.

Driving across this white flag road, he saw the ruined towns, the unfinished fires, and some children shuttling through the ruins, which made him feel emotional.

"The country in front or the family in front, here is the best answer." Ge Zhen sighed and said, "There is no room for dialectic at all. ”

If the country does not exist, the family will cease to exist.

Many people in the country hold the view that the home is in the front and the country is behind, and they are completely a group of keyboard warriors, if they come to the war-torn country and walk around, they will understand that there can be no home without a country.

"Dada...... Dadada......"

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Heavy gunfire and explosions rang out, and street fighting broke out on the streets, which were occupied by American ground forces and met with stubborn resistance from the Iraqi army.

Ge Zhen, who was driving the jeep, immediately took a detour, he didn't want to waste time here.

But just as the car turned into another street, a coalition squad appeared in front of him, and the moment the squad saw him, they immediately raised their guns, and one of them carried a bazooka.

"Your uncle!" Ge Zhen scolded heavily.

He thought about making a detour, but he didn't expect to meet the head of the coalition army here, and instantly fell into the epitome of this war.

Wait, these are not coalition forces, they have a wide variety of weapons, and they are even better than those of the regular troops.

This is a mercenary!

In order to reduce the loss of troops, the United States usually hires a large number of mercenaries when launching a battle, which is used to occupy the ground after an air raid.

When the mercenaries have completed the first phase of the occupation, their ground forces will take over, which will cost a lot of money, but it will effectively reduce their own casualties.

"Bang!"

Ge Zhen held the steering wheel steady with his left hand, picked up the Mosin Nagant sniper rifle with his right hand, and smashed the party windshield with the barrel.

The moment he was smashed, he stepped on the clutch with his left foot, lightly applied the brake with his right foot, slowed down the speed of the car while letting go of the steering wheel with his left hand, and sat in the car and picked up the Mosin Nagant rifle.

"Bang!"

The shot rang out, and the bullet came out of its chamber and struck the mercenary in the chest, who was carrying a bazooka.

"Poof!"

Pierced through his chest by a bullet, leaving a bloody hole the size of a bowl, the mercenary's body fell backwards to the ground, the bazooka he was carrying pointed into the air.

"Whoosh!"

The rocket swooped into the sky, creating a parabola that lost control.

"Click!"

Ge Zhen pulled the bolt of the gun like lightning, exited the cartridge case and fed the second bullet into the chamber of the gun, leaned forward while sitting there, lay on the steering wheel to stabilize the direction, and sniped again.

"Bang!"

"Poof!"

The second bullet snipes the second mercenary.

"Sniper, evade! - A mercenary armed with a machine gun let out a loud roar.

"Poof!"

A third bullet struck, piercing his neck and breaking the major artery in his neck, sending hot blood gushing out.

The mercenaries next to him pounced on the ruins bunker behind.

"Poof!"

A fourth bullet struck him in the waist and pierced.

"Ahh ——”

A miserable cry came out of his mouth, the right waist of the bullet entrance was bleeding profusely, staining his clothes red, and a terrible wound was blasted on the left waist of the bullet exit, and the shattered kidney flowed out under the impact of the blood flow.

Another mercenary was already behind cover, and when he turned his head, he realized that his teammates were dead and wounded.

There was a deep fear in his eyes, he couldn't figure out who the person driving the jeep was, he was so sniping, he was using a Mosin Nagant rifle, but he could complete a continuous sniper in a droplet.

The jeep moved slowly under Ge Zhen's control, his left hand regaining his grip on the steering wheel, his right hand holding the Mosin Nagant rifle, and his left arm sticking out of the window, towards the ruins bunker.

During the whole sniping process, he was very calm, there was no enthusiasm in his pupils, and there was no calmness, some were just as calm as a lake.

"Whew! Whew! ……”

The mercenary behind the ruins let out a sharp wheez, his chest heaving and heaving, and he listened to the sound of the jeep ringing closely.

"Roar! ——”

With a roar, the mercenary jerked up and shot with his gun.

"Bang!"

"Poof!"

A bullet pierced his exposed head, slamming his corpse backwards, spewing brains and blood on the rubble.

Ge Zhen put away his gun, held the steering wheel with both hands and continued to drive forward, leaving behind the corpses of this group of mercenaries.

This war has nothing to do with him at all, but when he comes in, it means that he is deeply involved.

It was then that he saw a group of surviving children emerge from the rearview mirror, groping around the corpses of the mercenaries, picking up their guns, their individual rations and fresh water.

"The meaning of serving the country with loyalty is to never let our children live in the cruelty of war."

Ge Zhen's eyes were full of emotion and became more determined.
