Night Raid on US Forces in Iraq
Chapter 720:Night Raid on US Forces in Iraq
The battle in Mosul began only after John’s forces were eliminated.
A U.S. battalion entering the rescue of Mosul was attacked by intensive fire as it approached the third block of Mosul.
It was a premeditated targeted attack, and the two sides fought very fiercely on the streets.
During the fighting, two Abrams main battle tanks in the U.S. military were destroyed by anti-tank missiles of the Iraqi army, and a large number of Humvees caught fire in the streets.
The fierce fighting, which almost destroyed the entire neighborhood, did not subside until the arrival of several U.S. fighter jets.
However, on this day, the U.S. troops stationed in Mosul killed and nearly 200 wounded, and lost more than a third of their combat effectiveness.
The battle for Mosul is only a microcosm of the entire territory of Iraq.
In the top command of the U.S. military in Iraq, punk also received orders from all over Iraq to fight various battles, and many Iraqi soldiers wearing Iraqi Republican Guard uniforms and American soldiers in various cities launched fierce fighting.
On this day, hundreds of battles broke out, and hundreds of people fought on a scale, as many as thousands.
There are also many American soldiers captured by the other side, and all the news is gathered together, and punk is suddenly worried.
The once vulnerable Iraqi army has now burst out a strong combat power that is not inferior to the US military, and in the case of being inferior to the US military, it can start a positive battle with the US military, so that the US military is in a bitter battle every time.
“General, this is the most detailed analysis, and according to all the reports, we have concluded that the soldiers of the Iraqi Republican Guard, each of whom have a strong individual combat capability, and cooperates very closely, with a very close firepower deployment, and the infantry combined with snipers or long-range firepower has caused us great trouble, and if we have air superiority, perhaps the major towns in Iraq will fall by at least half.”
“How many troops do they have?”punk asked.
"The number is not much, there should be only more than 10,000 people, but we have put our troops in a bitter battle of 30,000 or 40,000."
“Order the districts to strengthen their defences, suspend security patrols in towns and towns, and all units on standby, while ordering the troops in the target mountain areas to accelerate the progress of the annihilation.”punk rubbed his temples and ordered.
In less than ten days, he was about to withdraw from Iraq, at which time punk did not want his troops, and once again, because of the patrols, led to more casualties.
All day long, punk heard the most about the attack on the patrol troops, so he felt that in the last few days, all the troops were in the field, and the defense would be strengthened.
As for the security and stability of the city, it will leave in a few days and leave it to the Iraqis to deal with it themselves, and the US military does not have this energy now.
With the order, all U.S. soldiers quickly withdrew from the cityside to the cityside, and the Iraqi people around the station were all expelled.
But just when punk thought that ordering the troops to defend the ground and things would not get worse, it was also in Mosul.
One day of fighting, the U.S. military station in Mosul is still brightly lit, a large number of wounded soldiers are receiving treatment, many U.S. soldiers in the station, has been in a state of rest.
Only the headquarters is still brightly lit, the station is surrounded by high walls, the only entrance is open, the huge anti-collision pier is placed in the entrance and exit position, the defensive machine gun position, the American soldiers on duty, seriously staring at the outside of the station.
Under the calm night sky, the U.S. military station was quiet and quiet, exactly the same as usual, and there were no suspicious signs.
However, this night is destined not to be calm, quiet in the sky, dense rockets, dragging a long tail, suddenly falling towards the Mosul site.
The radar issued an alert for the first time, but there was no anti-aircraft missile force at the station, and there was little way to defend against the large number of rockets falling in the sky.
By the time U.S. soldiers got up quickly from their beds, the sky, the dense rockets had fallen into the U.S. military’s camp.
The intensive rockets suddenly turned the station into a sea of fire, many barracks burned, and some Humvees were destroyed, causing some casualties among the soldiers.
Such an attack is not over, and by the time the first round of rockets arrived, more rockets have flown over, and the number is even more alarming.
Only in an eye, the entire station was devastated, several sections of the wall directly collapsed, and the gate of the station was directly destroyed by intensive fire.
The command position in the station was also hit by a rocket, but the rocket only blew up part of the equipment, and did not cause any casualties to the headquarters.
However, one of the rockets fell on the power generation equipment of the US military station, and after the huge explosion, the entire power system of the station was directly paralyzed.
Inside the station, in addition to the burning fire, the rest was suddenly dark.
Fortunately, the emergency lighting system of the US military station is quickly opened, and those lighting systems with storage power equipment are turned on, and the damage control troops are also running quickly after the rocket attack is stopped.
There was no need for someone to order, and many U.S. soldiers joined the stop-loss work to extinguish the flames and rescue the wounded.
Combatant is quick to collect weapons and ammunition and prepare for new threats that may come next.
At the same time, behind a hill in the distance of the U.S. military station, two people are paying attention to the situation in the U.S. military station at a distance, and after seeing a large number of U.S. soldiers in the station, there is no panic, one of the two said: "These U.S. military quality is good, in this case, there is such a good discipline."
“Can we cancel the next attack plan?”Another man on the side asked.
“Cancel it, there will be no good outcome to continue the attack, and people have already given their weapons ready to fight.”
"It's a shame, I'm going to look at more fireworks."The other said with some regret.
"If we had only one or two hundred people and no heavy weapons, we would have been able to level up the station, but there was nothing wrong with it, and today's harvest has been great."
