Chapter 1431: Arrow on the string

The war continued day by day, and ground fighting still showed no signs of starting. After the attack on the Mi Army base, the coalition forces significantly increased the search for the Ikra’s Scud mobile launcher, and the Air Force also assumed responsibility. For more arduous tasks, they had to dedicate one-third of their power to maintain 24-hour patrols over various suspicious areas to alert and eliminate suspicious targets at any time, even Pan Xiaobao, who was placed on the third line. The fleet has performed many such tasks.
But despite this, the "Scud" sirens sounded over the city almost every night, so that at night, Riyadh was full of turmoil and panic. No one knew when a missile would land on him. On the head.
Like Riyadh, there is also Tel Aviv in Isaac. The Ikra people seem to be sitting in rows, sending a shot to Tel Aviv and then to Riyadh, although the Air Force often destroys it. The good news of the "Sud" missile launcher came, but the attacks of the Ikra people seemed unaffected and would still be staged every night.
It must be admitted that the "Patriot" system urgently dispatched by the Americans did play a certain role. It successfully intercepted several incoming missiles over Riyadh, but the results were never as brilliant as the Americans claimed. According to Tan Zhenhua's own statistics, the success rate of interception was no more than 50%-that is, at least half of the missiles were missed.
That is, the accuracy of the "Hussein" who was forcibly transformed by the Ikra people through the "three and two" method is really bad, and at least half of the missing half are located in the desert outside Riyadh. , This will control the loss within the range that can be barely tolerated.
Fortunately, the dual 35MM near-anti-cannon system provided by Huaxia has already set up positions near the palace, power station, television station, communications building and other major buildings. Prince Sultan can barely find time to take a nap—just this is still open. Just one eye.
Although the nerves have been highly nervous, Prince Sultan, who can see the latest battle reports at the highest level every day, knows that his side is getting closer and closer to victory.
Because the resistance of the Ikra people is declining at a speed visible to the naked eye, according to a report from the Air Force, during the first few days of the air strike, they could still encounter more violent anti-aircraft fire and several shots from time to time when they were dispatched. For surface-to-air missiles, the coalition has also lost many fighters, but the artillery fire has become increasingly sparse, and the air-defense missiles have long since disappeared.
This has been going on for many days. Almost uninterrupted air strikes have destroyed all Iqra’s strategic and tactical targets. The current Iqra, except for the aimless launch of several targets at Riyadh and Tel Aviv at night. Sending "scud" has completely lost the means of confrontation.
At this point in the war, failure is an irreversible consequence. Is it necessary to continue? Should Ikla find a decent way to admit defeat?
Of course Sha Damu thought the same way. He had no cards to play, but in order to maintain the last bit of dignity, he announced on the 29th day after the war, that is, on February 15, that he accepted UN Resolution 660. Conditionally withdraw troops from Kevet.
Before this decision was made, of course Sha Damu ventilated with the Soviet Russia backstage. On the third day after he announced this decision, Soviet Russia put forward four peace proposals, and Sha Damu immediately agreed.
On February 22, the Soviet Union further put forward a specific proposal for the withdrawal of Iraqi troops: the withdrawal will begin one day after the ceasefire, and the withdrawal will be completed within 21 days.
Unfortunately, this suggestion was rejected very simply by the Americans.
President Bush stated:
No cease fire, no negotiation, no concessions
and issued an ultimatum to Sha Damu, ordering him to completely and completely withdraw from Kevet by 17:00 GMT on the 23rd!
What a joke, after 38 days of air strikes, the multinational forces headed by the United States dispatched nearly 100,000 aircraft, dropped more than 90,000 tons of bombs, and launched 288 sea-based Tomahawk cruise missiles and 35 air-launched. The "Tomahawk" cruise missile, using a series of the latest aircraft and various precision-guided weapons, has almost completely destroyed Ikra’s command, control, communication and intelligence capabilities, war potential and strategic counterattack capabilities, and has made Keweit The frontier troops of the Iraqi army on the battlefield lost nearly 50%, and the rear troops lost about 25%. Under the situation that this kind of enemy has lost the ability to resist, and a wave of A will be able to win a big victory in the past, you Soviet Russians and Sha Damu say no Can you not fight if you hit?
What is meant by "the arrow is on the string, I have to send it", understand?
This time, it is an excellent opportunity for the U.S. to show off its power and retreat from Annan's retreat. It is also an excellent opportunity to prove that the U.S. is the world's number one military power, and it is an excellent opportunity to dominate the Middle East in one fell swoop!
Gulbanbridge, you should pay attention to the situation in your country. How do you plan to end the "Baltic Road"? Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania have already played the banner of requesting independence from the Federation. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a signal that the empire is beginning to collapse. You still have room to interfere in the Middle East, which is authorized by the United Nations to expel "aggression." The "just war" of the actor?
As for you, President Sha Damu, please wash your neck and wait, the noose is ready for you...
At 4 o'clock in the morning on February 24, 1991, Xie Li's long-awaited ground war finally began.
The multinational force deployed 5 attacking groups from east to west on the frontal battlefield about 500 kilometers from the border between Shako and Saudi Arabia:
The First Army: The Eastern Front Joint Forces of Arab States, attacking northward along the coast, with the goal of occupying the capital city of Keweit;
Second Army: The Mi 1st Marine Expeditionary Force attacked northward from the "elbow" of the Shako border, with the goal of capturing the Mutra Pass and cutting off the road from the city of Kovet to the northeast of Kowait;
Third Army: The North Front Joint Forces of Arab States, attacked from the western section of the Shako border towards Ali Semim Airport, with the goal of cooperating with neighboring forces to destroy the Iraqi army in Kuwait and occupy Kuwait City;
Fourth Army: Mi Seventh Army, which is also the main force of the offensive. It advances from the west to the north of the Wadi Bating, penetrates into the depths of Iqra, and then moves eastward to fight with its left neighbor, the Eighteenth Airborne Army. The goal is to general About eight of Iraq’s most elite divisions surrounded the area south of Basra;
Fifth Army: The Mi’s Eighteenth Airborne Army carried out an auxiliary assault. It broke into Iraq from the Saudi-Iraq border to the banks of the Euphrates River, and controlled the No. 8 highway from the east of Samawah to Baghdad. The goal was to isolate the elite Iraqi troops in Kuwait , Cooperate with the 7th Army to wipe it out!
In the early morning, the sky in the east had just appeared white. Tan Zhenhua and Xie Li saluted each other and bid farewell to each other, watching this team embark on a journey.
