Film And Tv World Employment System - Chapter 395
“These bastards! Why was there no information before?”
Colonel Camora roared and asked Khalifa the staff of the regiment.
Khalifa shook his head, he didn’t know…
As a staff officer, there was no news that the Kuwaiti had such missiles in their hands, or that they were designed to attack weak parts of tanks.
When did the Kuwaiti purchase them, and how many quantities, there is no intelligence at all.
Not only did he not know, but even Hafata, the staff officer of the first regiment who entered Kuwait first, also did not know.
Tillard asked Camora through the car radio: “What now?”
Camora didn’t know what to do.
The number of battle damages has been calculated. More than 90 tanks in the second regiment were destroyed by Kuwaiti missiles.
Two regiments, now can’t make up one regiment.
Many of them were hit directly on the top, resulting in a blast.
Of course, there are also many tanks that have been hit by cluster bombs that fall from the sky, making them unable to move.
It must be repaired, and even many tanks have lost the value of repair and can only be disassembled into parts and accessories to repair other tanks.
Hafata sighed.
“Report to your superiors! The air force must be asked for support to strike at their missile launch positions. The intelligence work before the war was too poor…”
As a staff officer, it is natural to know how an intelligence error will affect the offensive forces.
The Kuwaiti had so many advanced weapons that the Iraqi military had no knowledge of it before the war began.
Because of ignorance, such a big loss was caused.
But they cannot blame the intelligence department.
That is controlled by the president himself.
Colonel Tillard said coldly: “It’s no wonder that the young officers didn’t come up. They know what the enemy has in their hands.”
What the Kuwaiti have in their hands, the Youth Army Corps also does not know.
At this moment, Lieutenant Colonel Tazak heard the previous news and was also silent.
The second regiment supported by the National Defense Forces suffered heavy losses, and the entire vanguard did not dare to advance again, and reported to the higher authorities to continue to urge the air force to bombard.
Tazak was secretly afraid that if he rushed to the team, the result would be the same.
As the commander of the front-line headquarters, Lieutenant General Ainajid has a face as gray as death.
“Damn it, why did you rush like this! Less than an hour after the battle, almost two tank regiments were lost… Although the other two attack lines were also blocked from the offensive, the damage was not so severe…”
It is not that Commander Ainajid blames his own officers indiscriminately, but the entire Iraqi army has never suffered such a loss in any war.
After fighting the Persians for so long, even when the Persians attacked the most sharp in 1986, the backbone of the Iraqi army was almost interrupted, and there was no such battle damage!
Hundreds of tanks were scrapped in less than an hour. How can the president accept it?
How did the top officials of the National Defense Force explain to the President?
The chief of staff looked at Ainajid and suggested: “Commander, we must ask the President to send out air support. Without air support, this battle will not go on… No one knows how many missiles Kuwaitis still has, even these long-range missiles. I dont know where the missile launch base is… Keep going, the Kuwaitis may continue to attack the armored forces, and the loss will be more difficult to bear…”
The Chief of Staff’s words are very realistic.
Without the support of the Air Force, the ground forces’ offensive will be severely hampered under such circumstances.
The Kuwaiti infantry has advanced and powerful individual anti-tank missiles, individual anti-aircraft missiles…
These things are also available in Iraq, but they are all equipped with the Tikrit Division, but the National Defense Forces do not.
Even the Iraqis don’t know where there are hidden long-range missiles and how many more.
A major general persuaded Ainajid: “Commander, it is not about how to avoid the president’s anger, but must advance as soon as possible, otherwise more troops will be lost… Once the offensive is weak, the National Defense Forces will first face the president’s wrath…”
Ainajid naturally knew.
He also knew that Air Force Commander Onimoka was weak and could not call the shots.
Under such circumstances, what about the National Defense Forces that need air force support?
Ainajid could only call Defense Minister Qazim for help.
As soon as Qazim came out of the president’s office, he received a call from Ainajid and learned about the frontline situation.
Knowing that the situation was serious, the whole person was stunned for a while.
After reacting, he rushed to the president’s office again.
The president looked at Kazim and asked dissatisfiedly: “Kazim, didn’t you just leave to make arrangements?”
Seeing Kazim’s complex expression and serious face.
Silly Damu shook his heart for a while, could it be that something changed?
Is it true that the Americans set a trap for them, and the Americans participated in the war?
“Is there any bad news on the front line?”
The president really can no longer bear the bad news from the front lines.
The Iraqi army has such a powerful combat capability and such a large armored force. Although it is not the top-notch, it is also an elite force.
According to the military strength of Kuwaitis, it is impossible to resist the Iraqi army.
So far, I haven’t heard any good news, except for the Tikrit Division Youth Officer Corps, which has taken down 12 Kuwaitis A-4 attack aircraft.
The losses of the Kuwaiti cannot be compared with the losses of Iraq.
The Tu-16 bomber, but the former strategic bomber, although the Soviets were eliminated early, it is still used by many troops all over the world.
Kazim looked at the president, and under the president’s gaze, he finally spoke.
“Your Majesty, we must immediately dispatch the entire air force to support the front-line offensive forces and carry out a large-scale bombing of Kuwait… Otherwise, there will be unacceptable and serious consequences… As soon as we received the news, Kuwait did not know where to obtain long-range missiles and broke through to the front line. Kuwaits second line of defense armored clusters covered strikes… The Defense Forces Second Armored Regiment lost more than 67 T-72 tanks and almost all armored vehicles were damaged…”
“Assholes of the Wehrmacht, I want to kill them! It caused such a huge loss!”
The president’s face was distorted.
More than 100,000 troops attacked Kuwait with only 20,000 troops, and Kuwait, which did not have any heavy firepower, caused such a large number of casualties when the war started.
Two armored regiments!
The National Defense Forces is equipped with advanced T-72 tanks, which should be more powerful, but lost more than 100 vehicles in such a short time!
The high-ranking officials of the front command are all damned.
The weak Kuwaitis even has few armored vehicles, and the ability to cause such a large loss to the Iraqi army can only show the commander’s incompetence!
“Your Majesty, now is not the time to pursue accountability. I didn’t get detailed information on Kuwait’s military forces before the war… This is also related to the intelligence agency.”
Qazim ignored the president’s embarrassment. The intelligence services were under the president’s control, but there was no detailed information before the war.
Most of the intelligence forces are used to monitor middle and high-ranking military officers in the country to avoid rebellion.
Even before the war, there was no energy to investigate the military intelligence of the Kuwaiti.
No matter how armed Kuwait is, it cannot arm many troops to contend with the millions of troops in Iraq.
The entire population of Kuwait is just over two million.
Kazim also knew that his words would anger the president.
If the air force is not dispatched, or even missile troops are dispatched to attack important targets in Kuwait, the attacking troops will suffer greater losses.
The president cannot accept such war damage.
Even because of serious consequences, countless high-ranking officers were shot.
Saddam looked into Qazim’s heart, and wanted to draw his gun and kill him.
He also knew that Kazim was loyal to him, so he held back.
“Do you really think the air force or even the strategic missile force should be dispatched?”
Kazim nodded.
“Your Majesty, this is our best choice. No matter how many anti-aircraft missiles the Kuwaiti have, it is unlikely that they will have much effect under large-scale and intensive bombing… They do not have enough manpower to operate the missiles… The number is too much. Just got the news…the air force was dispatched for a large-scale bombing, and the ground forces were advancing quickly under the cover of the air force to occupy the entire territory of Kuwait as soon as possible…Otherwise, once international forces intervene, it will be difficult for us to cope.”
It has not been long since the war started, and there is no news from the international community.
Before the war, Iraqs special operations forces had cut off all Kuwaits external contacts.
Occupy Kuwait as soon as possible, creating established facts.
Kazim waited for the president’s reply.
The president’s anger, one can imagine, his chest is rising and falling sharply, watching Kazim’s eyes sparkle.
Kazim looked at the president calmly.
If the President had not interfered with the combat plan in accordance with the Department of Defense’s combat plan ~~, had randomly intervened in the combat plan, and prohibited the Air Force from participating in the war, it would have been impossible for such a major damage to occur.
The air force bombed important military targets of Kuwaitis from the very beginning to cover ground forces’ offensives, and it would be difficult for Kuwaitis to resist.
Especially focusing on targets hidden in Kuwait will not cause such results.
All of this is because the president did not agree to send an air force, only relying on the armored group to attack the Kuwaiti line of defense.
The generals in Iraq all believed that the Kuwaiti army was vulnerable to a single blow and that the army was enough.
Now Kuwait has displayed a variety of advanced equipment, causing heavy losses to the offensive forces, and even being hit by a hidden missile launch base…
Saddam was silent for a long time, and saw that Kazim had been staring at him, not daring to look at the eyes of his loyal subordinate.
“Send the air force to attack important military targets of Kuwaitis. Be careful not to attack oil fields and refineries…”
Even now, the President is still unwilling to destroy Kuwaits economic facilities.
In the eyes of the president, Kuwait is already in his pocket.
It is now destroyed by the Iraqi Air Force. After the occupation of Kuwait, it will take a lot of money and a long time to rebuild.
During the reconstruction process, Kuwait not only failed to bring economic benefits to Iraq, but also made Iraqs unsustainable financial situation worse.
Without income, how to repay Soviet debt?
How can we continue to arm the entire Iraqi army if we do not repay the debt?
Seeing the president’s agreement, Qazim was relieved.
“Your Majesty, please rest assured that we only attack military targets. Especially missile launch positions against Kuwaitis, to avoid greater losses to offensive troops…”
