Chapter 1456: The Hope of the American Infantry

The outcome of a war may be unknowable and uncontrollable, and a single missile that is out of target may be able to influence the tide of the war, but it can strive for the greatest possible victory within the greatest scope. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Air supremacy is the greatest possible victory.

In the west of Isfahan, the Tarawa Heights, which is the main front-line defense point of the US Eighth Army, on this highland, there are wind-blown sand landforms everywhere, high weathered stones, blocking the sand dunes spreading to the west, and the perennial wind-blown sand is like a superb artist, carving this stone forest.

An infantry battalion of the U.S. Army defended here, which used to have only one card, but in just one day, it was strengthened to a battalion.

The U.S. military received information that the Iraqi-Syrian Federal Army could enter Iran at any time, and the key target was Isfahan's Eighth Army.

Because the Iran-Syria Federation can only help the Islamic Empire, Lange, and the Vital Guards regain control of the government if they help the Islamic Guards, Lange, and the Vital Guards regain control of the last holy city, Isfahan.

Today's IS, Lange, and Life Guards have lost control of the Iranian regime, and NATO is well aware of this, as long as it completely controls Isfahan, in the eyes of the Iranian people, it is equivalent to losing the protection of Allah, and the situation is completely different.

The current mission of the U.S. Eighth Army is not to quickly eliminate the remaining ISIS, Langue, and Life Guards, but to cooperate with the Iranian regular army to hold Isfahan and face the Iraqi-Syrian Federal Guard, which may enter Iran at any time.

The Tarawa Heights is the only barrier to the west, and if this barrier is lost, the western gate of Isfahan will be open to the Iraqi-Syrian Federal Guard.

The entire commanding heights of Isfahan will all fall under the control of the Iraq-Syrian Federal Guard, and the NATO coalition will be truly passive at that time.

Once the Air Force is unable to guarantee air supremacy, it will be almost impossible for the NATO coalition to fully control Isfahan.

On the side of the U.S. Eighth Army, two regiments of Iranian regular troops were also defended, and the main forces of the U.S. Eighth Army were all in the rear to ensure that the only western gateway was defended.

However, for the American soldiers who are in Tarawa at the moment, this night is a little difficult.

Although the US soldiers at the grassroots level do not know the overall situation of the current battle, the Eighth Army has also suffered two rounds of air strikes before, which has led to the morale of the Eighth Army, which has had a slight impact.

The first half of the night was fine, but in the second half of the night, the air began to get hot and dry, and it seemed that an impending storm was brewing, and there was an obnoxious irritability in the air.

In the mountains, most of the US soldiers were supposed to be resting, but the temperature of the land and the stuffiness of the air raids made it difficult for people to sleep, coupled with the tension of the battle, and the air raids that they might face at any time, many US soldiers did not sleep at all.

Many of the American soldiers who were resting directly in the foxhole had lost their sleepiness, and they looked at the stars in the sky and were stunned.

Not long after the second half of the night passed, the roar of fighter jets in the sky made the entire American soldiers on the high ground all turn over and sit up one by one.

The roar of fighter jets came from the western sky, and the instinctive impression of the air defense siren did not sound, but from the side, the same roar of fighter jets was soon heard.

This made the US soldiers who had been bombed twice in just one day cheer one by one.

These American soldiers, all holding their weapons high, jumped out of the pit and cheered at the sky:

"Kill those damn yellow-skinned monkeys!"

"Kill the damned Middle Easterners, kill Cai Ruichen, bomb Marin City......"

The excited American soldiers all cheered, for them, the sky has always been their own.

was bombed, this is the first time in the world, and now that his own air force has also come, he will definitely be able to beat the Iraq-Syrian Federation.

This is the almost instinctive belief of every American soldier that in their opinion, waiting for the arrival of their powerful air force, the Iraq-Syria Federation, a country that has only been established for two years, will be completely defeated.

However, the army is not able to appreciate the happiness and suffering of the current air force, and all the pilots of the NATO coalition forces are already fully aware of the current strategic situation of the two sides, and pragmatically tell every NATO pilot that NATO is currently at an absolute disadvantage.

The combat effectiveness of the air force of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation should not be underestimated.

Of course, this did not hit the NATO pilots, although there was a disadvantage in the overall situation, but they were also very optimistic that the war could definitely be reversed in their own hands.

In fact, this is quite normal, and the US media's assessment of the military strength of various countries all relies on the analysis of think tanks, which are employed by political and power groups.

In the US media, the country's military strength is actually based on what wind direction the US power bloc needs now.

If the US military wants military spending, it naturally wants to trumpet how powerful the hostile forces outside are.

If the US military wants to sell weapons and publicize new equipment, it naturally needs to compare it with the equipment of other countries, and in order to show the people that the huge investment in research can get a good piece of weapons and equipment, then the US media needs to carry out its own powerful propaganda.

In the past few years, although the Iraq-Syria Federation has become very strong, it has not really entered the eyes of the United States, and in the last period of time, it has only carried out necessary political propaganda.

At this moment, the US soldiers, including most countries in the world, can only be regarded as a half-understanding of the actual military capabilities of the Iraq-Syria Federation, even if they are veterans.

Strong propaganda is conducive to rallying the hearts of the people, but it will make grassroots personnel excessively lost in the powerful imagination of propaganda.

However, the self-confidence of the grassroots soldiers of the US military is not the result of propaganda, but has penetrated into the spirit of the US soldiers and entered the consensus of the bone marrow.

At this moment, the fighters of the two sides have not yet made official contact, and a silent war has been waged between the AWACS aircraft of both sides.

Isfahan is located in the central plateau of Iran, although it is not as high as the northern region near the Caspian Sea, but it is also the highest place in the Iranian plain compared to the ridges on both sides.

Once the valley of the two rivers gave birth to a powerful empire here, it has now become a place where a global hegemon and a great power were contested in the early days of its rise.

This is a relatively high terrain, which is not like a plateau area of three or four thousand meters, so that the fighter can fly at a height of several thousand meters, and thus it is very likely that it can even be directly attacked by individual air defense missiles at a high altitude.

But this place, hostile complex, is full of wind-blown sand and rocks plus mountains and valleys after the impact of the previous basin.
