"The Americans are now in control of Baghdad, and the informants we have planted in the top Iraqi leadership have not given us any more information. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoNow the Soviet Union is confused about the situation in Iraq, we don't know whether Saddam Hussein died in the end, and we don't know if the Iraqi army is really as weak as we predicted. Kryuchkov reported to Yanayev as usual on the situation in Iraq, but the increasingly uncertain regime in Baghdad seemed to be stabilizing with the control of the US military.

"The Americans did not meet any resistance when they entered Baghdad? It's funny. Yanayev squeezed out a smile over Kryuchkov, "If even Saddam's most central garrison does not resist, that is the real joke." Do you really think that Saddam Hussein would leave such a large army of himself alone and flee alone? ”

Kryuchkov's brow furrowed, he did not believe that Saddam Hussein had any plans other than to escape. At the beginning, the U.S. military only used a battalion of troops to control the entire city, so with the increase in the number of troops stationed in the future, do they still have any plans to turn defeat into victory?

Yanayev looked at Kryuchkov's puzzled expression and explained to him, "I made a small suggestion to Saddam Hussein before, that is, when he faces an army that has no chance of winning, the best way is to break into pieces and lurk and hide in the city to wage a guerrilla war with them. Because a city is inhabited by a large number of civilians, the US military will not use M1A1 main battle tanks and AC130 gunboats to bomb, which is the advantage of the Iraqi army. ”

After George W. Bush declared the end of the Iraq War in 2003, the U.S. troops stationed there were constant attacks by the Iraqi Republican Guard, often using snipers and roadside bombs to inflict heavy casualties on U.S. troops.

"In this case, nine times out of ten, Saddam Hussein adopted my suggestion." "Thanks to the rockets, mines, mortars and general-purpose machine guns that we have provided Iraq, if Saddam Hussein handles them properly, these weapons will have a great strategic advantage in a war of unequal numbers, no less than the advantage brought to them by an armored tank battalion, as long as the tactics can be used, then the city of Baghdad is the next Grozny." ”

After Saddam Hussein gave the order to fight, the horns of war sounded again. Almost instantly, the whole city began to stir. Under the cover of night, the Humvees patrolling the streets were attacked by the IED, and the attacking Iraqi Republican Guard shuttled through the dense and criss-crossed alleys to sneak attack the American soldiers walking on the streets.

Within minutes of the start of the battle, four Humvees were blown up. The U.S. camp in Baghdad was also hit by mortars at the same time, and this time the burning flames fell on the hapless Americans, who blew up their fuel depots before they could figure out what was going on. Within minutes of the start of the battle, the U.S. military blew up four Humvees and killed six people. The U.S. camp in Baghdad was also hit by mortars at the same time, and this time the burning flames fell on the hapless Americans, who blew up their fuel depots before they could figure out what was going on.

However, it is obvious that neither the U.S. military nor the battle-hardened Iraqi army are vegetarians, and it is estimated that after the U.S. military personnel figured out the direction, the mortar squad began to shift positions, and sure enough, within a few minutes, the air raid landed on the original location.

"We are under attack by the Iraqi army on Sara Street and need support! We need support! ”

"This is the patrol team on July 14th Street, oh my God, it's all their guys, we need support, damn air support is there, we can't hold it anymore!"

"Sir, the authorization of the gunboat and the M1 tank has been denied by Washington, they believe that this is nothing more than a small rebellion, and the use of gunboat aircraft will become a criticism of the massacre of Iraqi civilians by the US military if it is not handled properly, and they will not allow such a thing to happen. At most, willing to authorize the use of helicopter gunships. ”

"Bastard, this is a joke with the lives of thousands of my American soldiers." Although General Binford was annoyed, Washington's consideration was not unreasonable, once the US military was labeled as anti-humanitarian, then they would not have a good life in Baghdad in the future.

"Can you contact the Apache helicopter for an attack now?" General Binford, the commander-in-chief of the war, asked, "Let Cobra helicopters and Apache support the ground forces, our soldiers need them." ”

"Of course, I'll arrange it now."

On the contrary, the Iraqi army has shown a tough side, especially in guerrilla warfare, and the combined use of RPGs, general-purpose machine guns and sniper rifles will not be able to hold down the American troops without heavy firepower. The soldiers who were a little further away were shot directly to the ground by the soldiers armed with Dragunov's sniper rifles, and they did not kill the soldiers, but only made them howl in pain, using their sound to attract other American soldiers to come and then give the rescue soldiers a shot to kill. The strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements can be stained with the blood of a minimum of no less than ten people in their hands.

RPGs are used as a weapon against Humvees and even tanks, and from the very beginning of the war, American soldiers said "R! p！ g！ These three letters never stopped. Each time a Humvee was overturned by an explosion, and after severely injuring the Humvee's heavy, the General Purpose Machine Gun began to suppress the remaining few personnel until they were all killed.

Under the cover of night, the US military top brass did not know how much strength the enemy had, so they could only wait until the sun broke the next day before making other plans.

Helicopter gunships equipped with night vision devices arrived at the designated combat position, but the chaotic scene was no less chaotic than the war in Somalia, where the enemy's buildings and the streets where US troops were stationed were mixed together, and it was impossible to carry out effective strikes.

When he was at a loss, suddenly the radar showed that it was locked by a missile, and the gunship hurriedly dodged, and a missile flew towards him from the roof on the lower left, and the gunship hurriedly evaded the action, dropped the hot decoy bomb, and avoided the first wave of attacks without danger.

"Damn, but no one told me that these Iraqis still had anti-aircraft missiles in their hands, I always thought they were just some old RPG rockets! This is a real SAM anti-aircraft missile, made in the Soviet Union! ”

At the same time, helicopter gunships supporting other areas were attacked by SAM anti-aircraft missiles and almost crashed to the ground. For safety reasons, the Army recalled all fighting helicopter gunships and no longer provided air support, leaving only a group of isolated U.S. patrols in the middle of a bitter battle, with one soldier possibly killed in the city's lanes every minute that passed.

"The whole city is attacking us, and Baghdad's so-called early victory is just an illusion that Saddam Hussein has prepared for us, and this is a generous gift from him to the United States." After analyzing the objectives of the Iraqi army, General Binford ordered all soldiers not to fight, and let the army retreat directly to the base camp to repair and establish a defensive line, and if necessary, withdraw directly from Baghdad to preserve its strength.

The retreat of the US troops in the fierce battle was regarded as a victory for the Iraqis, not to mention that those helicopter gunships that were preparing for air support were also directly suppressed by Sam's shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft missiles and did not dare to fly over residential areas, because Saddam Hussein gave the order not to leave a single American soldier alive, and not a single US soldier was captured, and all of them were directly killed by the Republican Guard.

The U.S. forces finally began to shrink their front after paying the price of a dozen men in the dark alleyways, confined their forces to a few streets, and waited until dawn the next day to counterattack.

And the other side seems to have seen through this point of the American army, and they began to approach the location of the Palace of the Republic in Baghdad from Muthanna Square, the Hippodrome and the city of Vosseny, which is the base camp of the American army and a strategic point that the Republican Guard is focusing on.

Seven or eight hundred members of Saddam's death squad and Republican Guard began to approach the Palace of the Republic through the alleys, where they would engage in a life-and-death struggle with the American army. (To be continued.) )
