Chapter 1429: The first battle target is Kuwait
The results of the first round of missile strikes met expectations. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Missile Corps of the Red Guard Regiment successfully launched a saturation attack on all US military bases in the Middle East.
It has successfully destroyed all the key military facilities of the US military in the Middle East, and has also successfully captured a large number of US soldiers.
But as the United States said, the war has just begun, and the initial defeat is more the result of a sneak attack by the Iraq-Syria Federation.
However, if such a sneak attack tactic is not adopted, the large number of US military bases in the Middle East and the world will bring huge trouble to the war.
Therefore, Cai Ruichen is also willing to bear the charge of this kind of sneak attack, of course, the soldiers are not tired of cheating, not to mention that Cai Ruichen also expressed his firm attitude and position in advance.
However, the results of the first round of missile strikes were only able to help the Iraq-Syrian Federation buy a few days.
It is true that the United States is stunned by the attack, but it will not be long before the United States will readjust, and then it will be a real battle.
Therefore, Cai Ruichen also has to take advantage of this time to seize a powerful situation as much as possible to ensure that in the face of the adjusted US military, all the unstable factors around him can be solved.
The first round of missile strikes, just an appetizer, completely destroyed the US air base on the Arabian Peninsula.
Ensure that the U.S. Air Force cannot counterattack the Iraq-Syria Federation at the first time.
And this purpose has been completely achieved, and the US fighter planes that have taken off to carry out alert or combat missions have all left the airspace of the Middle East at a rapid pace.
The reason is very simple, having lost contact with the NATO joint commanders, the US military has not had time to organize an effective counterattack, and the original airfield cannot be returned, so it can only go to other safe airports to land.
The first round of missile attacks began at half past four in the morning, while the second round of missile attacks reached half past seven in the morning.
It is not that the Red Guard Corps is not capable of launching multiple waves of saturation strikes in a short period of time, but it is necessary to wait until all the US troops are mobilized to better launch attacks.
In the second round of missile strikes, the main targets were three US military bases in Kuwait, and the targets of the attacks also included the ground forces of the US Eighth Army in Iran.
After the first round of air strikes, the U.S. Eighth Army remained near Isfahan, and Cai Ruichen could not let go of any opportunity to destroy the U.S. military's vital forces.
At the same time, the ground forces of the Red Guard Regiment were all ready, waiting for the final order to set off.
At this moment, the outside world is also speculating about what kind of offensive the Iraqi-Syrian Federal Guard, which has gained temporary regional superiority, will launch.
Most people believe that the next action of the Iraq-Syria Federation will inevitably be to send troops into Iran to deal with the NATO coalition forces together with ISIS, Lange, and the Vital Guard.
It's just that Cai Ruichen has no intention of sending troops into Iran, but has set his sights on Kuwait.
Kuwait is only a small country in the Gulf, and after the Kuwait War, the United States has stationed troops in Kuwait for a long time, and after the withdrawal of troops from Iraq, the United States has increased its military presence in Kuwait to more than 13,000 people in order to strengthen its control over the Middle East world.
It was also the place where the United States had the largest number of troops stationed in the Middle East.
The United States has 950,000 troops, of which nearly 400,000 are stationed in more than 100 overseas military bases around the world.
In Europe in particular, there are as many as 120 US military garrisons, and of course, Europe also has the largest number of military garrisons.
Next is the Middle East, with tens of thousands of troops stationed in Saudi Arabia, more than 10,000 in Kuwait, and troops stationed in Oman, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and other countries, adding up to 30,000 or 40,000.
In addition, the US troops stationed in Kuwait are basically mainly ground troops, and there are not only comprehensive training bases for training troops, but also logistics transit centers, which can meet the hardware needs of quickly stationing a large number of troops.
A report by the US Congress a few years ago noted that the large US military presence in Kuwait would be able to exert greater strategic flexibility in response to a sudden conflict in the Persian Gulf region, given the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq and the threat from Iran.
The report takes a complete look at U.S. relations with six Persian Gulf countries: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Oman.
The Persian Gulf region contains more than half of the world's oil reserves and more than one-third of the world's natural gas reserves. The stability of the region is critical to the global economy. However, in this region, the United States is facing the Iranian nuclear threat and terrorists, and in subsequent reports, it has also vaguely pointed out that the growth of the Iran-Syria Federation poses a threat to the existence of American interests in the Middle East.
At present, the US military bases in Kuwait are Arekan Barracks, Salem Air Base, Camp Billing, Doha Barracks, and Kabaos Military Base.
The Doha Barracks, located about 40 kilometers west of Kuwait City, has been transformed by the US military from a comprehensive industrial warehouse into a US military facility since the Gulf War, and has become an important base for the US military.
Located in the north of Kuwait less than 90 kilometers from the Iraqi border, the Kabaos Army Base is a warning zone set aside by the Kuwaiti government in the northern part of the country, covering an area of more than 2,000 square kilometers, where the US military and its coalition forces conduct desert training
Salem airbase has already been completely destroyed in the first round of missile strikes.
The target of Cai Ruichen's harvest is the Doha Barracks, which is the most powerful military base of the US military in Kuwait.
It is also the location of the 1st Cavalry Division, the ace unit of the US Army, although the 1st Cavalry Division has now entered the Iranian operation, but there are still two armored battalions left here to rest.
The most important thing is that the Kuwait Army Command, which is part of the Central Headquarters of the United States Army, is stationed in the Doha barracks, which is responsible for the command and control of all forces deployed in Kuwait.
In addition, Camp Doha is the forward deployment base for the U.S. Joint Kuwaiti Task Force. There are tens of thousands of troops in the entire camp, two Longbow Apache brigades and two multiple rocket launcher brigades, and hundreds of M270 tactical missile launchers.
However, if you want to invade Kuwait, it is not as simple as sending paratroopers to Saudi Arabia and other countries.
After all, Saudi Arabia and those countries are all their own people in secret, and in the face of the Iraq-Syria Federation's attack on US military bases and troop invasions, it is okay to protest and show others, but Kuwait is different.
Kuwait is firmly controlled by the U.S. military, and Cai Ruichen did not do anything to Kuwait in advance, so in the entire Gulf region, Kuwait and the Iraq-Syrian Federation are also the most unpleasant.
