Chapter 288: Fallujah

Samarra’s battle was quickly over, unexpectedly by the world.
In just one day of fighting, the image of the Islamic State, which has always been strong in Iraq, collapsed.
The entire battle killed tens of thousands of Islamic State armed forces and three to four thousand prisoners.
But as the winner, Cai Ruichen also discovered a fact that made him very helpless.
The Islamic State is indeed the target of transfer. It seems to know that Samarra has been unable to stop the attack of the Marin division, and the Islamic State forces are actually quickly assembled towards Fallujah.
And the main force of nearly 20,000 people, a large part of it has been mixed into the city of Fallujah.
Almost immediately after the fighting in Samarra ended, the Iraqi government forces in Fallujene were suddenly violently attacked by the Islamic State government forces.
At the same time, Cai Ruichen also knew that the more than 10,000 Islamic State armed forces that the Red Police Corps faced were really recruits.
There are more than 10,000 recruits, and some of them even joined the army for less than a month.
The reason why the Islamic State placed these people in Samarra was purely trying to hold down Master Marin.
Then provide cover for the main force to attack Fallujah, because the eyes of the whole world are almost gathered here in Samarra, including the Iraqi government forces.
No one would have thought that the Islamic State armed forces had come to a Mingxiu plank road to cross Chencang secretly.
First, the whole world was shown the intelligence that they had mobilized the main force to Tikrit, and then the newly recruited soldiers were quietly dispatched to Tikrit, and then the civet cat changed the prince.
Just like the various guerrilla warfare that the US military faced in Iraq back then, these Islamic State armed forces are fighters when they take up their weapons, and they are the best civilians when they lay down their weapons.
Saddam’s hundreds of thousands of National Guards disappeared from Baghdad in this way, and in the following nine years, they caused more than 4,000 casualties to the US military in Iraq.
Now, the Islamic State has also played such a trick. The soldiers who used those new recruits were still fresh faces. Replace those veterans.
Then let the veterans pretend to be ordinary people and approach Fallujah.
I am afraid that such a tactic was a helpless change after seeing the powerful artillery attack power erupted by the Marin Division.
And those recruits. They are all just cannon fodder, used to hold Master Malin. Even if all were wiped out, there would not be much loss for the Islamic State armed forces.
Because it also involves a cruel status quo of the occupied area. That was after the Iraqi government cut off the electricity supply.
It prevents the Islamic State from providing basic social security for the people in the occupied areas in order to stabilize the situation. The Islamic State had to come up with a solution, that is, large-scale recruitment.
Every soldier can enjoy various benefits and high salaries, although his emotions have been stabilized in a short time. And recruiting those restless young people into the army reduces the risk of armed rebellion.
However, the rigid expenditure of military expenditure is also rising. If this factor is combined, these people are actually deliberately sent by the Islamic State to Samarra to die.
The more cruel fact is. The weapons in the hands of these recruits are garbage weapons that are as cheap as twenty or thirty dollars each, and the bullets are all cheap bullets that are refilled many times and produced by small workshops.
Even so, the number of bullets in the weapon magazine of these recruits on the battlefield is only five rounds.
Using those weapons that will explode at any time, there is no logistics, let alone their life and death.
If this is placed in the armed forces of various countries, it will be charged by military courts of murder of soldiers, and military laws must be enforced.
Because if it is not good, it will cause a mutiny, but this is a very cost-effective business for the Islamic State armed forces. If these people go to death, they can reduce a part of the expenditure.
Military expenditures have been reduced again, and there is no need to pay pensions like those veterans. It can be called the cheapest cannon fodder under the conditions of modern warfare.
Of course, if these soldiers, in the view of the Islamic State, are led by more than a thousand veterans, it should be no problem to think of blocking the Marin division.
However, the speed of the end of the war is really unacceptable to the senior Islamic State.
In their opinion, even if there are 10,000 goats, Master Malin has only a few thousand people. It is very difficult to catch all these goats in such a large area.
But the result was that their troops didn't even hold on for a day.
It also directly exposed the purpose of their sneak attack on Fallujah. In order to prevent the Iraqi forces from reacting, the Islamic State forces had to start their actions ahead of time.
However, even if the preparations are fully completed, the opponent is still the ace division of the Iraqi government forces, but when the Islamic State attack began, it quickly occupied many important areas of Fallujah.
The Fallujah Ace Division of the Iraqi government forces was bombed with hundreds of armored vehicles in a sneak attack. Among them are more than ten old T-72 main battle tanks and three M1A1 Abrams.
Compared with the Islamic State’s sneak attack, the response of the Iraqi government forces was several shots slower. It was not until a few hours later that it was organized and blocked the Islamic State’s attacks and sneak attacks on some streets of Fallujah.
Moreover, this is the result of the emergency assistance of the US Air Force. Otherwise, I am afraid that the situation in Fallujah will embarrass the Iraqi government forces even more.
However, many of Fallujah’s economic institutions have been occupied, and the first step of the Islamic State’s tactics to grab wealth has been completed.
Even if the Iraqi government forces reacted, Fallujene’s money might have been looted.
Even so, the Iraqi government did not appeal to the town of Marin, which is only 40 kilometers away from Fallujah.
Instead, mobilize troops from other places ~EbookFREE.me~ to Fallujah to support.
However, if the Iraqi government forces ask Cai Ruichen for help, Cai Ruichen will at best give them some artillery support.
Because he does not have the energy to manage Fallujah's battle now, but is very happy to fully accept the city of Samarra.
Although this city, in the strict sense, has almost been wiped out on Iraqi soil.
But Cai Ruichen is still very confident that he will soon rebuild a more developed Samarra city.
And now that the Red Police Corps has achieved its present strategic goals, he is still eager for the Islamic State to smash against the Iraqi government forces in Fallujah.
Lest the Islamic State continue to look at Samarra, and want to use this channel to enter Baghdad.
Therefore, even if the Iraqi government forces ask for help, Cai Ruichen cannot really send troops to help them.
As the saying goes, people don't kill themselves for their own sake, and Cai Ruichen still has a lot of wasteland to be busy with, and there is no time to care for the Iraqi government forces. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
