414 Desert Sabre (Part 2)

The attack of the Arab Eastern Front unit arranged near the coast was launched later than the neighboring PL Army-10th Division and the Mediterrane Expeditionary Force. As the situation faced by the -10th Division, it was still in front of the cluster.

It is the Iraqi army that is a solid defense zone. In addition to large minefields and barbed wire, there are also trenches filled with fuel. Although the Arab coalition on the Eastern Front lacks the methods of demining mines like the US military, their engineers still use manual demining methods.

, Before launching the attack, 6 safety channels were successfully opened in the Iraqi army minefield.

At B morning of the day of the operation, the Arab joint forces on the Eastern Front began to attack. The Iraqi army, which was believed to be a great threat before the war, was easily crossed by many troops. The engineers of the Arab coalition used bulldozers and shoveled soil.

The knife's tank filled the soil into the trench, which quickly made the obstacle useless. As a result, in just a few hours, the troops of many countries broke through the defense line that the Iraqi army thought was indestructible.

In the initial attack, the 10th Mechanized Brigade of Saudi Arabia captured the respective planned targets. At the end of the first day, the Joint Forces on the Eastern Front captured all the predetermined targets and captured thousands of Iraqi officers and soldiers.

Judging from the combat effectiveness, this unit composed of soldiers from Arab countries has no less combat effectiveness than that of the US military with better equipment.

The Northern Front Joint Force (between the Second Eastern War Zone and the Central Theater Command, mainly composed of Arab countries such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia) is one of the latest troops to launch an attack among the clusters of multinational forces. At 4 pm on the day of the operation, the

The Egyptian Dyshua Infantry Division was formed in the cluster, the Khalid and the Musanna contingent began to attack the Iraqi positions in Kuwait. Soon, Saudi and Kuwait troops also launched an attack.

.When crossing the Kosha border, these troops encountered obstacles from Iraqi arms ditch, minefields, obstacles and harassing firepower. Due to fear of counter-charge from Iraqi armored forces, Egyptian troops were still some distance away from the original target.

At that time, he stopped moving forward and established a blocking position for overnight stay.

At the same time, the subsequent Egyptian 4th Armored Division was preparing to follow up in the rear of Egyptian Dipei. As a reserve for the Northern Line Joint Force, the Syrian 9th Armored Division followed behind two Egyptian divisions and 1 reconnaissance battalion in

The right wing carried out shield operations and established and maintained contact with the pL Army-10th Division and the US Army's 1st Land Expeditionary Force.

When the ground attack of multinational forces began, the Iraqi ground forces remained on the defensive positions in the Kuwait theater, and showed no signs of retreat. The front-line troops of the Iraqi army, including the Iraqi army located in the front of the -10th Division and the US 1st Land Expeditionary Force.

7 The 14th and 2nd Infantry Division, and the 19th Infantry Division of the Iraqi Army, located in the front of the joint forces of the Eastern Front of the Multinational Force, carried out sporadic but sometimes tenacious resistance.

However, because the advancement speed of the multinational troops was amazing, and they mostly bypassed the solid foundation zone of the Iraqi army and isolated the Iraqi army from depth, this forced the Iraqi army to either retreat or surrender to the multinational troops. Although the Iraqi army suffered at the beginning of the battle.

The Iraqi Army, which was placed on the battlefield of the Eastern Front and the Iraqi Army's 4th Army, which was located in the Eastern Front, still carried out local counterattacks. In particular, the Iraqi Army, which was responsible for guarding the area south of the Kuwait International Airport, was responsible for guarding the area south of the Kuwait International Airport.

-Armored Division is the most intense and most powerful force on various battlefields since the outbreak of the desert saber.

The Iraqi Army's Armored Division has invested about 100 tanks, including some NHT106 Rhino 1 main battle tanks from northern China. This lineup must be careful even if the US Marines and Arab coalition want to deal with them.

-10th Division invested multiple mechanized and invading battalions and tank troops, and closed and surrounded the Iraqi tanks protruding from the fortifications from the left and right wings.

At the beginning of the battle, the Rhino 11 tank of the 10th Division gave a severe blow to the tanks of the Iraqi Army's Armored Division. With the continuous attack of the armor-piercing bombs with full penetration, more than a dozen Iraqi tanks were exploded or withdrawn from the battle.

However, it is precisely because of the large scale that the armored troops of the 10th Division, which were slightly lacking in experience, were a little rigid and constrained when maneuvering on the battlefield. After the first successful strike, they fought with the Iraqi tanks.

, within a range of hundreds of meters, they scrambled each other and banged each other.

There is no doubt that the NHT26 tank is much more advanced than the Iraqi tanks. Even such chaos has played a huge role in the war. However, such melee also caused losses to the armored soldiers of the 10th Division.

A Rhino 11 tank had just blown up an Iraqi Type 6 tank that was more than 20 meters away from it, but its flank was exposed under the muzzle of an Iraqi NHT106 Rhino Type 1. The Iraqi tank suddenly opened fire and attacked

The side armor of the Rhino 11 tank was captured, and the thickness of the side armor was obviously not enough to resist the 2m artillery of its previous generation Rhino tank. Fortunately, due to the good protection, the automatic fire extinguishing system was immediately activated, and the crew was dizzy.

Zhong crawled out of the tank, and no one was killed and only one seriously injured. These armored soldiers were soon rescued by nearby friendly vehicles, while the Iraqi tank, which had a sudden cold arrow, was blown up by another NHT26.

The melee lasted for more than 20 minutes. Finally, relying on the dual advantages of the number and quality of the armored forces of the 10th Division, it wiped out this Iraqi tank unit, destroying and injuring 102 opponent's tanks, but our side also appeared.

The first loss in the war was that three NHT26 tanks were destroyed, two of which were voluntarily bombed by their own side after losing their combat capabilities. There were finally casualties in this battle, and a tank driver unfortunately died, and there were ten more

The rest of the people were seriously injured.

Even though the war loss ratio is very different, the commander who launched the attack made a review. When the Iraqi tanks emerged on a large scale and were out of fortification protection, the powerful air and ground advantages of the multinational troops would make the Iranian army's strong air and ground advantages.

The military counterattacks are difficult to work. They are directly exposed to air strikes by multinational forces. Although the armored forces of the 10th Division are closer, they still have the choice to summon air strikes from the HNA or Air Force, and even contact the headquarters of the division headquarters.

The troops are smarter than fighting hard with the enemy in this way

However, in the eyes of many people, this is a victory worth celebrating, especially the Joint Operations Command has also commended and praised the 10th Division. During the first day of the battle, most of the troops experienced sporadic casualties.

But not very big, the 10th Division suffered not much loss compared to the fact that it was very dazzling.

At this time, the Iraqi army was already at a desperate point. If the Armored Division left the fortifications to fight, they would either face the superior air strike and be wiped out, or face the stronger ground troops would be wiped out; if they did not leave the fortifications,

They can only sit and wait for death. This is the dilemma faced by the Iraqi army. In addition to the Armored Division, a large number of Iraqi soldiers surrendered, and many of the Iraqi army's troops have lost their will to fight.

Since the Eastern Front battlefield is the area facing the Kuwait War Zone, the resistance faced by the First Expeditionary Force of the US Marine Corps and the PL10th Division on this side is the most intense among the battlefields on several fronts. On the second day of the Desert Saber Operation, the US Army

The 1st Land Expeditionary Force also encountered the most tenacious resistance of the Iraqi army since the ground attack.

In the attack zone of the 2nd Marine Division, the 6th Marine Corps of the United States repelled a counterattack launched by the Iraqi Army's Armored Division and the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division by comprehensively using firepower such as distance air support, artillery, tanks and anti-tank missiles.

Before launching a counterattack, the two Iranian military divisions established defensive positions in the highlands north and northwest of Kuwait City, as well as a region full of buildings and fences.

Due to long-term air strikes by multiple national forces, the Armored Division was hit by another powerful blow by the 10th Division yesterday, losing more than one hundred tanks. Therefore, when the two divisions launched a counterattack attack on the 6th US Marine Corps, the Iraqi Army.

, its actual combat power has been reduced to less than one heavy-equipped brigade.

What's even more tragic is that at the beginning of the anti-assault operation, the Iraqi army was blocked by powerful air forces from multiple countries. The tiger of the 2nd Marine Division of the US was on the left, the 6th Marine Corps was in the center, and the B Marine Corps was on the right wing, advancing according to the plan. Unlike yesterday

The weather worsened the second day of the operation, and the Iraqi army ignited the oil well in order to consolidate its defense. The pillars of fire soared into the sky and the rolling smoke made the visibility on the battlefield only a few meters away. Despite this, the US military was equipped with NlAI tanks.

The high-performance optical observer quickly gained the advantage, eventually shattering the tenacious resistance of the two divisions of the Iraqi army and quickly occupied the area.

On the right wing of the attack area of ​​the US 1 land expeditionary force, the pL10th Division encountered the stubborn counterattack of the Iraqi army near the Burgham Field. After the war, many people joked that the 10th Division was too bad, and everyone else encountered it.

They always encounter backbone when they escape.

In this battle, the commander of the ground forces learned yesterday's lessons丨Under the premise that the reconnaissance airship grasped the enemy's movements in advance, he called the naval aviation carrier-based stealth attack aircraft formation to carry out precise strikes on the enemy guarding the oil field.

.In the land war, the -10th Division's fighting style has become more flexible and changeable. The commanders use small-scale armored troops to start interspersing and eroding the Iraqi army's defensive power. Once they find that the opponent is a little difficult to chew, they will immediately call.

The land aerial helicopters launched a strike. They continued to attack the enemy in different directions, making the enemy exhausted. In the end, the main armored troops penetrated directly into the core of the defense line, destroying the enemy's resistance in one fell swoop.

At the end of this battle, the -10th Division destroyed more than 100 armored vehicles of the Iraqi army and captured more than 156 Iraqi troops. Judging from the results, the -10th Division was already the most fruitful unit in the desert saber operation. By midnight, it was

The division completed the consolidation work after capturing Ahmed Jabeer Airport and advanced it to a location only 6 kilometers away from the city of Kuwait.

In the early morning of the second day of the operation, the Arab joint forces on the eastern front continued to advance north. Without encountering the stubborn resistance of the Iraqi army, they occupied the predetermined target with very few casualties. As a result, a large number of Iraqi soldiers surrendered, some troops were forced to

The advancement speed was slowed down due to the containment of prisoners of war. What was more helpless is that behind the 10th Division, there was a Red Alert Quick Resistance Brigade dedicated to contain prisoners, but they all encountered resistance to the death, while the Arab coalition side basically

The enemy army surrendered when they saw the wind, but their troops were in short supply.

The Omar contingent and Ottoman contingents formed by the Eastern Joint Force continue to move towards the city of Kuwait. The Qatar troops serve as reserves for the Eastern Joint Force in the Omar contingent.

Follow up from behind.

The Arab joint forces on the northern line continued to advance. At around 4 a.m. on the second day, Egyptian troops continued to carry out obstacle breaking operations and advanced towards their original goals. When night fell, they occupied a 6 square kilometers of defensive positions in the Iraqi army.

Bridgehead, but still failed to capture the original predetermined target on time.

At the same time, the Khalid contingent formed by the Northern Joint Force continued to break the barriers and advanced towards its intended target. At the end of the day, Saudi and Kuwait troops located on the right wing of the Northern Joint Force front made progress.

The Syrian 9th Armored Division, as a cluster reserve, provided necessary support to the front line troops, and its reconnaissance battalion continued along the Northern Line Joint Force and the U.S. Land Expeditionary Force.
