I want to be a warlord

Chapter 372: The Trial of Khatib in Three Halls (please vote for me)
After repelling the first wave of terrorist attacks, government troops were elated.

Of course, the leaders of the army were not dazzled by the victory and did not want to pursue the victory.

In the final analysis, we are forced by the domestic situation and international public opinion to confront the terrorists head-on. From the president to the soldiers below, all they want to do is hold on.

To hold on, we must continue to build positions. At this stage, the combat plan provided by the US military has entered the second stage, strengthening the defense line!
How to strengthen the defense line is also clearly written in the combat plan, that is, digging holes!
Dig a deep hole, dig a big hole!
Not only dig pits, but also lay anti-tank mines around the pits!
This thing can't make a sound when people step on it, but it is specially used to blow up tanks and armored vehicles.

Of course, ordinary infantry mines also need to be buried, and broadswords are very cheap.

Digging a hole so big that even an armored vehicle can't cross it is certain that it won't be able to stop the tanks, but terrorists alone, or with the few tanks in Khatib Hafez's hands, won't be able to break through the defense line.

Without infantry and armored vehicle escorts, if a small number of tanks rush into the position, the government army can use infantry to use RPG or Javelin anti-tank missiles to kill those tanks from the side or the back.

In addition to sending people in front of the position to continue digging along the craters, the rear of the position also needs to continue to expand. This is relatively simple.

Under the condition of ensuring safety, the forts should be reinforced with cement or rebuilt. The forts are separated by 80 meters and are staggered to the front, back, left and right, which can not only form cross fire, but also withstand armored vehicles and tanks.

Facing the fortress group, let alone terrorists, it is difficult for even the US military to penetrate. Of course, the premise is that your anti-tank missiles are accurate and there is no air force.

The next day, the repaired terrorists launched another attack. They used the old trick of using a pickup truck filled with explosives. As a result, before the pickup truck could rush up, they were hit by a battlefield that was so bumpy that it looked like it had been baptized by a meteor shower. It was blocked.

At a distance of about 500 meters, which is more than 100 meters close to the Iraqi government position, there is no way to move except for tanks.

The self-destruction vehicle, which was particularly suitable for urban combat, was completely destroyed in one fell swoop.

Of course, every advantage has a disadvantage.

This time, Khatib Hafiz instantly thought of a way. This time, he didn’t even send tanks. The terrorists rushed forward as skirmishers against the rain of mortars from the government troops, using those big pits and small holes. The pit was used as a bunker, preparing to attack the government army positions.

then……

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom"...

The continuous detonation of landmines made the terrorists miserable and had to withdraw again.

Of course, that's all. We don't know where the landmines are buried and where they are not, and we don't know which ones were detonated. The government troops no longer dare to go deep into this area.

An hour later, Khatib Hafiz organized another wave of charges. This time he finally gained a foothold in the Dakeng zone, but he could not reach the more than 300 meters from the Dakeng area to the government defense line.

The government troops were hiding in the trenches, and when the security in the fortress was guaranteed, the firepower was extremely fierce. During the day, they still had a certain fighting capacity.

In the next three days, Khatib Hafez tried every means, including drone bombings, night raids, and tanks forcibly opening the way, but was it effective...

The government army's fortifications became stronger and stronger, and the trenches began to advance 200 meters forward.

Although it is as slow as a turtle crawling, the momentum of progress is absolutely firm.

Khatib Hafiz had no choice but to dig fortifications and wait for the government troops to come up.

Within a week, the government troops sent in minesweeper trucks to sweep away all the mines in the large crater area. The defense line had been built to only about 2 kilometers away from the terrorist positions, and then it slowed down.

Starting from Abu Qurai and extending for a full 10 kilometers, the defense line of the fortress group will not only make terrorists despair, but also other countries will have a headache after seeing it.

Even if we send tanks to knock them out one by one, they won't be able to finish them in a few days!

On the terrorist side, several fortifications have been built, but both speed and quality are far behind.

In the final analysis, it is just a terrorist organization, and the manpower, material resources, and financial resources it can mobilize are not comparable to those of the Iraqi government.

Let’s just talk about the construction team. The government forces can easily find companies willing to do the construction. Well, most of them are small Chinese construction companies. After all, this thing has no technical content, so long as the quality and quantity are guaranteed.

Trivia, the Azizia Barracks of Kadado was expanded by a Chinese company. After all, Kadzo was still a legal government recognized by the international community at that time, and it was easy to give money...

As for the terrorists, there was no engineering company willing to work for them at this time.

He blatantly accepted orders from terrorists, didn't he want to hang out somewhere else?

Even the great Iraqi nobles do not disclose their receipt of crude oil from terrorists.

Closer to home, when the government forces advanced near the terrorist fortifications, they stopped building. The two sides actually formed a confrontation in the middle section from Fallujah to Baghdad.

As for Abu Gurai, there is no need to fight. Just besiege it after cutting off water and food. Just wait until the terrorists are dead and then recapture it.

If there are civilians, then come out and surrender, if not, then starve them to death!
And Khatib Hafez is not without countermeasures, that is, launching a terrorist attack in Baghdad and launching a large-scale terrorist attack.

What about car bombs, roadside IEDs, black widows... Baghdad has become restless, and its safety index has dropped crazily.

A large number of civilians had to flee from Baghdad to Kirkuk, Erbil and so on in the north.

A small number of people also ran to Bairwanai, which Wang Zhen did not expect.

Because Bairwanay's medical team in the middle and lower reaches rescued many, many people, and as some people fled to Baghdad, the name of the Democratic and Peace Party also spread here, a pure land surrounded by Ace Ace!
Although the number only accounts for one-tenth of the total number of people who escaped from Baghdad, there are still more than 3000 people!

……

After the actual confrontation was formed, the Iraqi government, as Wang Zhen expected, sent orders to other domestic militia organizations, ordering them to attack the terrorists.The government troops have set an example, so they naturally hope that the militia organizations will follow suit.

But in fact, if you send your message, very few people are willing to listen. Of course, if you don't listen, the government itself will stand up and publicly criticize. This is to divert the public's attention and anger.

We can’t just stare at the government troops and scold them.

At that time, the responsibility can be shifted to these civilian armed forces. It is all because of local separatist forces that the government forces cannot concentrate on fighting the decisive battle with the terrorists!
Naturally, the Democratic and Peace Party was also included here, but Wang Zhen was waiting for this day. Using Hit as the forward base, he also started building fortifications 15 kilometers west of Ramadi with the empty city of Aqaba as the rear.

This area has become a no-man’s land, and the terrorists were not noticed at first. By the time Khatib Hafez on the front line of Fallujah received the news, the engineering team led by You Congyun had already built three lines of defense, and The kind that's semi-permanent.

The fortress is made of reinforced concrete, up to one meter thick, with two layers of sandbags stacked on the outside!

It can't be fired without heavy artillery!

(RPG-7 has many models. The latest high-power tandem anti-armor warhead PG-7VR can penetrate concrete to a depth of 1.5 meters. However, this thing is also afraid of sandbags being piled outside, which will directly destroy the first-level armor-piercing warhead. )
Wang Zhen deployed 1200 people on this display. With the defense line around Aqabai in the rear, he was confident that these 1200 people could withstand the attack of 1 terrorists!
Even driving a tank up there would be useless.

Khatib Hafiz was too lazy to test the defense line built by the Democratic and Peace Party. He could not even penetrate the government army's defense line, let alone this side.

The way to deal with it is to build two lines of defense 10 kilometers away, and do whatever you want with the rest, as long as you don't come to attack me.

Khatib Hafiz did not send anyone to harass Bairwaneh. After all, when it comes to terrorist attacks, the bastard named Wang is even more skilled than him!

Speaking of dealing with tanks, currently, throughout Iraq, both government forces and terrorists are welding a few steel bars and barbed wire on top of tank turrets to build a shed...

It is specially used to prevent the opponent from using Dajiang drones to mount armor-piercing bombs to directly attack the top!
The speed of the drone is slow, and the crazy overclocking is only about 40 kilometers. The maneuverability is much higher than that of the anti-tank missile. The only disadvantage is that if the tank runs at full power, this kind of civilian drone cannot catch up... …

Or it won’t work if there is interference on the battlefield...

By the way, American Aviation Environmental Corporation hates Wangzhen!
American Aviation Environmental Corporation, manufacturer of the Switchblade cruise bomb.

They tried it, but the switchblade 300 and 600 were powerless when faced with this kind of barbed wire shed. They would also be detonated in advance. In other words, the switchblade... was useless!
The only trouble is that building a barbed wire shed on the tank will make it difficult to get in and out. You have to climb out little by little. If the tank is hit by an anti-tank missile but the people inside are not dead, it may take a lot of effort to escape. It will be very difficult. Maybe he was shot while he was crawling...

Therefore, American Aviation Environmental Company investigated the cause of the shed being built on the tank, and finally found Wang Zhen as the culprit!

Straight girl thief!
Of course, it is an exaggeration to say that there is no problem at all, but it is also true that most of it is useless.

In addition to Wang Zhen's response, government troops from the two provinces of Karbala and Babylon also sent troops.

It’s not that the government troops in these two provinces listened to Baghdad’s orders. The credit this time must be attributed to Ralph Bevin, the top military commander of the US military in Iraq.

The local governments of the two provinces dared not to give face to Baghdad, but they had to give face to Bevin, a US military major general. After all, it was not a big deal, and there was no need to smear Bevin's face.

The two provinces only sent more than 3000 people each, heading north to press Bahania from two directions, and also began to build defense lines along the highway.

Even though he knew that the armies of the two provinces would not attack Bahaniya, Khatib Hafiz had to send people to deal with it.

The forces were forced to be dispersed again.

At this time, Khatib Hafez was really short of troops.

This matter must be blamed on Wang Zhen. It was originally calculated that after the river section was cut off, the population of about 5000 in the four towns downstream of Hanbaghdani would lose their livelihood. He could recruit at least 7000 to [-] troops.

Terrorist recruitment is not like Faisal's side, which is so stringent about age. The terrorists don't mind even those in their 40s.

In addition, the three cities of Ramadi were also used by Wang Zhen to spread rumors... propaganda methods to lure away a group of people. At the same time, they also lured a group of people further downstream, and at the same time, the water was cleared to calm the chaos as soon as possible. Under all kinds of chaos, the Jonah Mosque recruited at least 15000 fewer people. people!
Otherwise, the military strength would be somewhat stretched.

……

On the other side, Bairwanay.

"Shall we unite with Khatib Hafez to kill Jonah, or join forces with Jonah to kill Khatib Hafez? Or let the two of them fall out? Which one has more benefits?" Wang Zhen frowned, while grilling Skewers, I muttered in my mouth.

To kill Jonah, Khatib Hafez would definitely have to go through some internal baptism if he wanted to take over all the assets of the organization. The losses would definitely not be small, and the public sentiment would fluctuate in a short period of time, which would indeed create opportunities for him to attack Tikrit.

Killing Khatib Hafiz, Jonah a magic stick, and re-promoting people to deal with secular affairs will also not be able to be straightened out for a long time.

Comparing the two, killing Khatib Hafiz seems to have greater benefits.

But what if no one is killed?
Wang Zhen looked at the roasted lamb kidneys in front of him, the kind that were split into two large pieces and roasted in the middle.

Pick up the knife next to you, cut it in the middle, and split the waist into two!
"Who do you think Jonah and Khatib Hafiz must deal with first?" Wang Zhen suddenly tilted his head and looked at Guo Jingyun.

"You!" Guo Jingyun affirmed: "Of course it's a joint fight against Japan, ah, it's for the outside world!"

Wang Zhen was very dissatisfied with this answer and looked at Lao Liu again.

Old Liu smiled charmingly, "If you disturb the outside world, you must first calm down the inside!"

Wang Zhen laughed and handed half of the kidney to Old Liu, "Yes, I hit the nail on the head!"
