Chapter 1405:

In the energy group, there may be many more powerful troops than sas, but why does Li Cong still need this force? Li Cong has his own plan. Now the Guards have been fully assembled, but in many respects Li Cong still feels a little dissatisfied. If he can get the entire sas training plan and everything they can afford, that If your own guards can become the same army as them, then you will have hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of SAs. This plan Li Cong has never said, and it was accidentally thought of now. That’s why he was so interested in this. The heir to the Habsburg dynasty saw that Li Cong said that, thinking that Li Cong did have a lot of troops, it was impossible for him to see his own small army. It was true that a gentleman's belly was treated like a villain, but what he didn't expect was that Li Cong still fell in love with this army.
"By the way, until now, I still don't know how to call you? Or what kind of prince are you?" Li Cong said with a smile and added wine to this guy. It can be seen that this guy likes drinking very much. .
"Just call me Gogol." This guy took a sip and said slowly. Seeing that enjoyment, it seems that he really likes to drink. The name Gogol shouldn't be the name of the royal family. It's just a code name, but the name is also a code name. It doesn't matter what it is called, the important thing is that you are familiar with the person in front of you.
"We are also good collaborators at this time. One thing I want you to understand is that I need an ally, not someone who is always jealous. You may also know my xìng personality, all the people who cooperate with me. If you have two hearts, I won’t make him feel better. What is going on with Herbert, I think you should know better than me. I don’t want you to be the second of him." Li Cong said with a glass of wine. A little pressure on this kid is necessary. No one can be so relaxed when facing himself. Looking at this relaxed appearance of this kid, I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart. This kid is too calm.
"Hehe, I know everything about Mr. Li. The fellow Herbert didn't even see how good it is to work with Mr. Li. He didn't understand how bright it would be if he kept going. The road is different from him. He is just a descendant of a grand duke. I am a descendant of the royal family. Please rest assured Mr. Li, but one thing I am worried about is being an ally with Mr. Li. In the end, it may be swallowed by you. Just say that your former good friend, the Kong family, was very powerful, but now, there is basically nothing left. I don’t want to follow in their footsteps." This guy sees When Li Cong's eyes were not very good, he immediately closed his eyes, a kid who was very good at observing words and opinions.
The conversation between the two people is over. Li Cong also knows that his partner has a strong strength. Of course, it is not that powerful compared to his own power in the world, but at least for now, it is still very good. Yes, especially in Europe, they still have a great say.
When Gogol boarded the plane, he found that several people were carrying large boxes, so he went over and took a look.
"These are all things, I don't seem to have so many salutes." He pointed to the two wooden boxes and said.
"Mr. Gogol, this is a gift from our president. I hope you will like it. This is the 1999 Great Wall Dry Red." A staff member of an energy group opened a box and said, this is Gogol's favorite It’s just that the red wine of this vintage has been around for decades, and it’s not easy to get it. But as the big boss of red wine, Li Cong still has a lot of inventory. What this guy thinks of is Li Cong, as in the legend, is really generous to his friends. This kind of red wine is now at least one hundred thousand bottles in the world, and he directly gave himself two boxes. It is enough to open his arms for two years. This alone is worth tens of millions. It is just a small gift. Not to mention the value. I really like Li Cong’s gift. I originally thought that I might not drink it after I left the office. Well, it feels good at the moment.
"Thank you Mr. Li for me. I'm leaving first." The guy nodded and walked out with two bottles from it. It seems that this guy really likes to drink. These two bottles are probably on the way. Enjoyed it.
"Who is this guy, such a big shelf, our president's special plane personally sent this guy back." Another delivery guy said, maybe many staff here can't understand this guy's arrogant appearance. No wonder these people usually follow Li Cong. They are used to their master's arrogance. If others are also so arrogant, they will always feel uncomfortable in their hearts. This is normal.
"Hehe, it's just a poor man. How many years have passed, no matter how powerful or scheming, how many of these people can take advantage of our president? They are just some. That’s just a fool. Many times they are passersby.
Another older person said. He has been with Li Cong for a long time. Those who can get on the president’s plane should be considered good, but The end result is not very good. Of course, if they don't do something wrong, it may be good, but if they do a little bit wrong, there may be no good days.
Soon after this guy went out, Karelina came in with a report on the strength of the former Portuguese military.
Portugal is a country on the Iberian Peninsula in Europe, with the Atlantic coast to the west and south, and Spain to the north and east. In addition to the territories of continental Europe, the Azov and Madeira Islands in the Atlantic are Portuguese territories. Before Macau was returned to China in 1999, it was ruled by Portugal. Cape Roca, west of Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, is the westernmost point in Europe. Portugal is a modern industrial and agricultural country. There are metal refining, chemical, petroleum and other industries in industry, but the most famous is cork made of water pine wood, which ranks in the forefront of the world. In the past, Portugal had a large number of colonies overseas, which brought it an endless source of raw materials, but since the colonies succeeded, this advantage has gradually disappeared. Portugal is also one of the founding members of the euro.
In 2020, the Portuguese regular army has a total strength of 44,900. Among them are 26,700 for the army, 10,950 for the navy, and 7,250 for the air force. In addition, Portugal has 10,000 reserve troops, 47,700 paramilitary troops, 26,100 national guards, and 21,600 public security police. After joining Europa, these armies were reorganized. The air force and navy were disbanded, but the army was still very good. After the final expansion, they formed the 15th Europa Army, which can be said to be very effective. of.
The most capable person in this Gogol's hand must be sas, but the 15th Army is not a vegetarian either. Although these strengths are not bad, they are just not bad.
"Have you found how that guy controls SAs? I don't have any interest in these local troops. What I need is a SA. As for other things, I don't want to touch it for the time being. After all, our allies are not fools. "Li Cong looked at these materials and said, there is nothing outstanding, these troops can be said to be useless.
"President, I think you are not very resistant recently. What I want to tell you is that the current location of the 15th Army is on the island of Cyprus. I wonder if you are interested?" Karelina hasn't finished. Li ran towards the map like a gust of wind. This island of Cyprus is known as the unsinkable aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean. This strategic location can be said to be even stronger than Corsica. No wonder Karelin Na would say that.
Cyprus (Greek: κ?προ?; Turkish: k?br?s; English: cyprus) is a geographically Asian island country, belonging to Europe (called "Kitti Island" in the Bible (in ancient times and during the Assyrian Empire) ], located in the eastern Mediterranean, is also one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Mediterranean. The statutory sovereignty of the Republic of Cyprus is the entire island of Cyprus and its surrounding waters, except for a small part of the area allocated to the United Kingdom as a military base by the treaty; in fact, it is divided into two parts: the north and the south. The effective rule of the Republic is 59% of the island. 37% of the area in the north is occupied by Turkey and claims to be the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. This political entity is currently only recognized by Turkey. Cyprus officially became a member of the European Union on May 1, 2004. After 2025, all the territories have joined Europa. Because of its small size and not many people, Europa did not attach importance to the right to speak here. In the end, in order to coordinate the army below, the reorganized Portuguese Fifteenth Army was stationed here.
According to archaeological findings, human life existed on the island of Cyprus approximately 9,000 years ago. In the 12th century BC, Greeks began to emigrate to the island. Later it was conquered by Egypt, bōs and other countries. Incorporated into the Roman Empire in 30 BC; belonged to the Byzantine Empire from 330 to 1191 AD; later in the Crusades, Cyprus was successively occupied by the French and Venetians; ruled by the Ottoman Turks from 1571 to 1878; native generals in 1878 Ceylon was leased to Britain, and became a British "direct colony" in 1925. In the early 1950s, the Serbian people's struggle against British colonial rule and for their nationality continued to rise. In ancient times, the navy was not very developed, and its strategic position was not seen by anyone. With the arrival of European powers, it is not so simple here.
In February 1959, Serbia signed the Zurich-London Agreement with Britain, Greece, and Turkey, which determined the basic structure of the post-state and the distribution of power between the two ethnic groups. In 1960, Serbia signed a "guarantee treaty" with the above-mentioned three countries, which guaranteed Serbia’s territorial integrity and security; an "alliance treaty" was concluded with Greece and Turkey, stipulating that they have the right to station troops in Serbia. On August 16, 1960, Cyprus announced the establishment of the Republic of Cyprus. The Greek and Turkish tribes formed a coalition government. The Greeks were the president and the Turks were the vice presidents. October 1st was confirmed as National Day every year. Joined the Commonwealth in March 1961.
In 1963, there was an armed conflict between the two communities. In 1964, the United Nations peacekeeping force entered the island. In 1967, the Tu nationality established a separate "administrative authority". In July 1974, the Greek military group initiated a coup in Cyprus. Turkey sent troops to the island in the name of "guarantee country", occupied 37% of the northern territory, and moved all the Turkish residents north. During the war, about 180,000 Greeks moved south, causing refugee and missing persons problems. Since then, the Republic of Cyprus has long been divided between the North and the South. In February 1975, the Turkish nationality announced the establishment of the "Turkish State of Cyprus" and elected Denktash as the "President". On November 15, 1983, the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus" was established. The Cypriot government is firmly opposed to the Turkish nationality. , Has not been recognized by other countries.
Since 1975, the United Nations and the international community have been working hard to resolve the Cyprus issue. The leaders of the two communities started intermittent negotiations under the auspices of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, but no breakthrough has been made yet. In December 2002, Annan proposed a comprehensive solution to the Cyprus problem. In January 2003, the Greek and Turkish tribes conducted a new round of negotiations, but they failed to reach an agreement. On March 11, they failed in The Hague. In March 2004, the two sides resumed negotiations on the unification of Cyprus under the auspices of Annan. According to Annan’s proposal to the Greek and Turkish tribes of Cyprus, the two sides concluded negotiations on the unification of Cyprus before the end of March 2004. On April 24, the citizens of South and North Cyprus held separate referendums on Annan’s unification plan. As more than 75% of the citizens of South Serbia felt that the implementation of the Annan plan was insecure, and the interests of South Serbia were not effectively protected, they voted against it. The new round of negotiations on the reunification of South and North Serbia ended in failure.
In fact, in Li Cong’s opinion, it’s better not to reunify such a place for a lifetime. If such an important place is truly reunified, then it’s not that simple to just want the opportunity of Brother Zhao. Fortunately, the European powers are also. This idea, so basically there is no time for unity here.
This island is an island country in the eastern Mediterranean. It is the third largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, and has a coastline of 537 kilometers. The north is a long and narrow mountain range with many hills; the southwest is a mountain range with higher terrain; the middle is the fertile Mesoria Plain. There are only a few intermittent rivers on the island of impermanent rivers. It has a subtropical Mediterranean climate, with hot and dry summers, with an average temperature of 28-35°C, and mild and humid winters, with a temperature of 4-10°C.
Cyprus, which means "Island of Copper Production" in Greek, is the Republic of Cyprus (yprus). It is an island country located in the easternmost part of the Mediterranean Sea. It is across the sea from Greece, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt. Since ancient times, it has been the main transportation link connecting the Middle East, Africa and Europe. Modern people compare it to the "unsinkable aircraft carrier in the Eastern Mediterranean." Cyprus is 241 kilometers long from east to west, 97 kilometers wide from north to south, and covers an area of ​​9,251 square kilometers. Sovereign base), the third largest island in the Mediterranean, is the hometown of the goddess Venus. After the establishment of Europa, the strategic location here has become more apparent, and no aircraft carrier can catch up with such a land-based aircraft carrier.
"Add to me the question of tracing Gogol to see how he controlled the 15th Army. I don’t need the 15th Army, but what I need is Cyprus, which is totally different from the policy on Corsica. The same, we can’t go too far. You must know that Europa is not a soft persimmon. Of course, your boss, I am not looking for soft persimmons. I ordered our fleet that has entered the Mediterranean to drive to Corsica. Our plane can Fly on the southern European continent and let them make concessions to me." Li Cong thought for a while and said, he can say that he has done it several times, and this time it is even more important to do it well and let them focus. In this regard, then he can reach into Saprus.
"Sir, our strength in Cyprus is indistinguishable from nothing. We only have a spy team of dozens of people in the local area. It would be nice if they can provide us with some information." Karelina said.
"Haha, doesn't our group have an office there? Sometimes everything is needed. Don't separate the military from our ordinary forces." Li Cong said with a smile. It wasn't like that before. When the military was not established, some local branches were still doing things.
"Sir, even if we can control the Fifteenth Army, it is difficult to control the entire Cyprus choking. It is not easy to know that the Turkish military power is not easy. They also have troops stationed on the island, and the distance is not very far." Karelina talked about the actual situation, but Li Cong smiled, seemingly disapproving.
"You, there are too many issues to consider. We may lose a lot of opportunities, just like Corsica. Do we have any losses? Although Turkey’s military strength is as strong as that, don’t forget, That was before, Ottoman? The Turkish Empire no longer exists, and after Europa was founded, his army has been transferred to various parts of Europe, and the strength there is not very strong now." Li Cong said.
While Li Cong was still immersed in happiness, something Li Cong had never expected occurred at the U.S. Fifth Fleet station. Here, another U.S. ace army, the U.S. First Mechanized Infantry Division, has won. The purpose of coming here is not for the energy group, but for Europa. Since we have cooperated with Li Cong, it is impossible to just see Li Cong eating meat and drinking soup. The Skull and Bones have disappeared in the world for too long. I have to stand up soon to let the bigwigs around the world know that they are still alive.
In the US Army, there is a combat division that is inseparable from the modern history of the US Army: the First Infantry Division. Because it holds many "firsts" in the history of the US Army, it is called the "Dahong 1 Division" (ne) by the Americans.
In the First World War, it was the first to exchange fire with the enemy, the first to suffer casualties, the first to capture prisoners, and the first to invade France; in the second world war, it was the first to reach Britain was the first to land in North Africa, Sicily, and France, and the first to break through the Siegfried Line in western Germany. It was the first mechanized infantry division of the US Army known as the "Big Red". The 1st Mechanized Infantry Division is also a force known for its arrogance. It always prides itself on being a trump card, arrogant and pretentious. When a U.S. military officer mentioned this division, he said angrily: "In the eyes of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division, the U.S. Team is simply composed of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division and 10 million replacement native soldiers."
After more than a hundred years, this force returned to Europe again. With the help of the Fifth Fleet, they successfully landed on Sicily. Everything was carried out under the high-powered jammers of the US military, and they were not immortal. Come out, everything is going on in secret? ? ? ? ? ?
In more than 80 years of combat career, the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division formed a brave and tenacious fighting style. Its teacher training reads: "There is no difficulty that cannot be overcome, there is no sacrifice that cannot be paid, the task first, the responsibility first!"
The 1st American Infantry Division was formed in 1917 during the First World War, and the 1st Infantry Division was originally called the 1st American Expeditionary Division.
From May 24 to December 22, 1917, it was the period when the United States' 1st Infantry Division was formed and moved overseas. In accordance with the instructions of the U.S. Department of War on the formation of the 1st American Expeditionary Division, on May 24, 1917, the U.S. Army gathered regular army units stationed in multiple locations to formally form the 1st American Expeditionary Division.
On June 14, the first unit of the US 1st Expeditionary Division set sail from New York Port and Port Hoboken to Europe. The remaining units arrived in Saint-Nazaire, France and Liverpool, England within the year. Arrived in Saint-Nazaire on December 22. After the first troops arrived in France, the 1st American Expeditionary Division was reorganized into the 1st American Infantry Division on July 6. The division is mainly composed of the 1st Infantry Brigade, the 2nd Infantry Brigade and the 1st Field Artillery Brigade, as well as various support units. After arriving in France, the US 1st Infantry Division did not immediately enter the war. Later, June 8, 1917 was confirmed as the founding day of the 1st American Infantry Division.
This time, they also set off from the United States, but they did not set off from New York Harbor, but from a secret base in the south. They were not only set off by personnel, but also with a large amount of their equipment. Since they are going to attack Europa is definitely not going to sit there. What they want is to have a foothold there. It is impossible without heavy weapons.
In the First World War, the 1st Infantry Division experienced 7 major battles and fought for 158 days, with 22.32 million casualties and 5 medals of honor. The "Ne Dahong First Division" has since been called.
After the outbreak of the Pearl Harbor incident on December 7, 1941, the United States got rid of the shackles of "isolationism," and the U.S. military began urgent preparations for war. The US 1st Infantry Division is no exception.
The 1st Infantry Division of the United States assembled in Britain and conducted combat training. It participated in the landing campaign code-named "Operation Torch" on November 8, 1942, and successfully landed in Oran, French Algeria. After that, the division was organized in the 2nd Army and advanced towards Tunisia. The division suffered heavy losses in the battle with the German army, with heavy casualties.
On May 9, 1943, 240,000 people from the German-Italian African Army Group surrendered. North Africa was controlled by the Allied forces, and there was no war in North Africa. The Allies took advantage of this favorable situation and launched the Battle of Sicily, code-named "Husky".
On July 10, the US 1st Infantry Division made a forcible landing in Gela, southeastern Sicily, and quickly broke through the defending line. Soon, the German Panzer Division counterattacked the 1st Infantry Division. With the support of naval artillery fire and Canadian forces, the 1st Infantry Division used artillery fire to repel the German armored division, and launched an offensive with victory, captured Troina in one fell swoop, and opened the way to the Strait of Messina for the Allies. Door.
In June 1944, during the Normandy landing operation code-named "Operation Overlord", the 16th Infantry Regiment of the 1st Infantry Division of the United States successfully landed on the "Omaha" beach, but the Germans desperately resisted, and the 16th Regiment was suppressed in the defense. It lasted 2 hours after the embankment, unable to move forward, and the casualties were high. After the follow-up troops landed, they were able to move forward.
After the Normandy landing operation ended, the US 1st Infantry Division continued to advance north, and soon liberated the Belgian city of Liège, and then broke through the "Siegfried Line" and reached the German mainland. The first target of the division's attack was Aachen in Germany. On October 21, the German commander-in-chief finally could not withstand the American attack and abandoned the city and surrendered. Then, the 1st Infantry Division crossed the Rhine and continued to advance deep into Germany.
On December 16, the Nazi Germans were unwilling to fail and launched a large-scale counterattack in the Ardennes with the strength of 10 armored divisions and 14 infantry divisions. The Allied forces were once defeated and were forced to withdraw and attack again. This is commonly referred to as the "Battle of the Bulge". On January 15, 1945, the United States 1st Infantry Division launched a counterattack and once again crossed the "Siegfried Line" and captured the bridgehead of the Remagen Bridge. By April 1, the division had advanced eastward for more than 240 kilometers. On April 8, the division crossed the Weser and entered Czechoslovakia. On May 8, Nazi Germany signed a letter of unconditional surrender, and the European war ended.
In the four-year war, the 1st Infantry Division fought for 443 days and participated in dozens of battles and battles. His time spent in the war, the number of captured enemies, and the number of medals he received, ranked among the best in the US military. The price it paid was also among the forefront of the US military, with 210,000 casualties. When the war ended, there were fewer than 100 veterans in the army who had participated in North Africa operations. After the war, the division stayed in Germany as an occupying force and did not return to the United States under the rotation system until 1955. Among the U.S. Army troops participating in the European War, it was the last division to return home.
After returning to China, the 1st Infantry Division was changed to trainer in 1959. In 1961, it was changed to combat readiness duty division. In 1962, he joined the strategic reserve team under the attack command and became a mobile force for global strategic missions.
The basic mission assigned by the US government to the 1st Infantry Division is to prepare for operations in Europe or the Middle East at any time, to reinforce the forward deployed troops, and to repel enemy attacks. Therefore, it is required that the Bu L division can be quickly transported to the accident site by air. In the event of an emergency, it can be reached within 3-5 days, and it can be put into battle after getting off the plane. In 1964, the US military listed it as a priority unit equipped with weapons and equipment. At that time, it was to deal with the Soviet Union during the Cold War. I didn't expect that he would actually arrive today, but his position was a little different from what he had imagined. The division commander General Lauger was smoking a Cuban cigar, thinking about everything about the first division. He must not let the brand of the red first division fall out of his hand. Since these Europeans have given the opportunity, today Do a good job. In the past, the US team had a lot of garrisons in Europe. Now, there is almost nothing left. All of this was done by the first division.
In 1965, the US 1st Infantry Division was ordered to participate in the Vietnam War, and its 2nd Brigade went to Vietnam first. On July 2, the B Company, 2nd Battalion, 16th Infantry Regiment of the 2nd Brigade exchanged fire with the "Vietnam" guerrillas during a search in Bien Hoa. This was their first battle in Vietnam.
From June 2 to July 13, 1966, the US 1st Infantry Division and the South Vietnamese 5th Infantry Division and the "Vietnam" 9th Division carried out the "El Paso 2" operation in Hulong Province. It is said that 855 people were killed or injured in the "Vietnam" army.
From September 14th to November 24th, 1966, the 196th Infantry Brigade of the United States launched the "Etelboro" operation. In early November, the United States Strategy 1 Infantry Division, 4th Infantry Division 3rd Brigade, 173rd Airborne Brigade, and several battalions of the South Vietnamese Army were involved. It is said that this is the largest combat operation of the US military, with 1,106 casualties of the "Vietnam" army. Called the US military’s largest combat operation, the
Vietnam
army suffered 1,106 casualties.
From November 30, 1966 to December 14, 1967, 1 battalion each of the 1st Infantry Division, 4th Infantry Division, and 25th Infantry Division was launched in Saigon and surrounding areas. In January 1967, it was launched by the U.S. 4th Infantry Division. The brigade succeeded and carried out the "Fairfax" operation. This battle emphasizes the joint operations of the US Army/South Vietnamese Army. After the 199th Infantry Brigade retreated, the combat area was taken over by the South Vietnamese 5th Ranger Group. The "Vietnam" army allegedly suffered 1043 casualties.
From January 8th to 26th, 1967, the United States deployed the 1st Infantry Division, the 25th Infantry Division, the 173rd Airborne Brigade, the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, and the South Vietnamese Army Forces at the headquarters of the 4th Military Region in the Liuyue Ng of the Audio-Technica. Da Falls" combined operations.
From September 27 to November 19, 1967, the US 1st Infantry Division carried out the "Shennando" combat operation in Binh Duong Province. 956 people were reportedly injured or killed by the "Vietnam" army.
From March 11 to April 7, 1968, the US 1st Infantry Division, 9th Infantry Division and 25th Infantry Division, South Vietnam 5th Division, 25th Division and several airborne battalions, as well as the Marine Corps Task Force in Saigon The region and the surrounding 5 provinces carried out the "Road to Victory" combat operation. The "Vietnam" army allegedly suffered 2,658 casualties.
It is worth mentioning that in September 1968, the 1st Infantry Division commander Keith? l When Major General Weir was commanding operations in Luning, north of Saigon, his helicopter was hit by the "Vietnam" and crashed. The plane crashed and killed people. He became one of the seven US generals who died in the Vietnam battlefield.
On April 15, 1970, the 1st Infantry Division withdrew from Vietnam and returned to the Fort Riley base, ending the Vietnam War nightmare for nearly four years.
In this war, the entire division won the "Legiment of Honor", and 983 people received various individual awards and titles at all levels, of which 11 people received the country's highest award-the Congressional Medal of Honor. However, these exploits failed to save the US military's defeat in Vietnam. At the same time, the 1st Infantry Division also paid a heavy price in the war, with the number of casualties reaching 20,770. This ranks first among the divisions of the invading American forces.
The Vietnam War became a scar that could never be erased by the "Dahong First Division". After the war, the 1st Infantry Division built a memorial hall in Wilton, Illinois to display items related to the Vietnam War, and in another memorial hall near the White House, engraved all the soldiers who died in World War I, World War II, and Vietnam. name. In addition, a sorority for the survivors of the Vietnam War was established, and an event is held every year to cherish the memory of those soldiers who sprinkled their blood on the Mekong River during the war.
On November 8, 1990, the 1st Infantry Division was ordered to deploy to the Gulf area. In the following two months, it deployed more than 12,000 officers and soldiers and more than 7,000 pieces of equipment to Saudi Arabia. Then, they conducted pre-war training in Saudi Arabia to prepare for ground operations.
On the morning of February 24, 1991, ground operations as part of Operation Desert Storm began. The U.S. 1st Infantry Division took the lead in launching an offensive against the 26th Infantry Division in Iraq, opening up paths for follow-up troops and becoming the pioneer of the U.S. 7th Army. In today’s battle, the 1st Infantry Division captured 2500 Iraqi soldiers. Afterwards, they were ordered to move north, and the Iraqi Turks went deep, intending to destroy Saddam’s elite troops of the Iraqi Republican Guards.
After 16 hours of maneuvering, the US 1st Infantry Division went into battle again. On the night of February 26, the division met with the Tawakarna Division of the Iraqi Republic Guard and the 27th Brigade of the 12th Tank Division, destroying 40 Iraqi tanks and infantry fighting vehicles each, forcing the Iraqi army to retreat quickly.
In order to cut off the escape route of the Iraqi army from the north of Kuwait City, the United States' 1st Infantry Division continued to march eastward, destroying a large number of Iraqi vehicles and capturing thousands of Iraqi soldiers. At 20 o'clock on the 27th, the 1st Squadron of the 4th Cavalry Regiment of the division captured the highway where the Iraqi army fled to the north. In the early morning of the 28th, the main force of the division occupied the defensive positions along the road, completely cutting off the retreat of the Iraqi army.
On March 1, Division Commander Rem received an order from Lieutenant General Yosok, commander of the Central Headquarters Army, to send troops to occupy Shafwan Airport and open up a venue for talks on a ceasefire between the United States and Iran. Reem immediately sent 3 armored companies with 50 tanks to Shafwan, driving away the Iraqi tank troops guarding there. At night, the commander of the Central Headquarters Schwarzkopf called Rem and asked him to send troops to the intersection to greet the Iraqi representatives on the day of the talks, and display various advanced armed forces on both sides of the road the Iraqi representatives passed to intimidate the Iraqis: "I want Let the Iraqis take a good look at the overwhelming array of brand new, top-notch American tanks and armored vehicles."
At 11 a.m. on March 3, the Iranian representative drove from Basra to Shafwan. At the entrance of the airport, soldiers from the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division blocked their way~EbookFREE.me~ and led them into 8 US medium-sized jeeps. Then the convoy drove to the meeting place. In the front of the convoy, four tanks and armored vehicles cleared the way, and two "Apache" attack helicopters trailed at a very low altitude. On both sides of the road, there were high-mobility multi-purpose wheeled combat vehicles one after another. , The arrogant U.S. soldier in the car pointed the heavy machine gun and anti-tank missile in his hand to the middle of the road. Not far away, tanks and armored vehicles were densely parked on the hills surrounding the airport, and their muzzles all pointed towards the center of the airport.
The Americans showed off their military force to achieve their goal, satisfying their vanity, and frightening the Iraqis. In the subsequent talks, Iraq quickly accepted all the requests made by the US. It's just that the enemy they are facing this time is Europa, and there may be the ambition of the energy group army.
