Chapter 858 We Only Accept Surrender

As Feng Yuxiang envisioned, after the dust of the Battle of Basra settled, the situation in Iraq gradually stabilized. In the near future, the chariots of the Dragon Army will inevitably gallop in various cities in Iraq.At this time, Feng Yuxiang began to think about another battle in his heart, that is, the upcoming battle of Saudi Arabia.At present, the only thing that can distract him is this Baghdad.As long as Baghdad can be successfully captured, the Iraq war will soon come to a successful conclusion.

Thinking of this, Feng Yuxiang couldn't help getting excited, and he immediately asked loudly: "Apart from your troops, have any other troops arrived in Baghdad? How long will it take us to be ready to attack Baghdad? How many more troops do we need?" Is there enough ammunition?"

Chen Jitang said with a smile: "As of this afternoon, our troops have successfully completed the siege of Baghdad. Among them, the 41st Motorized Army has entered the left flank of Baghdad. Their No.11 Armored Division has occupied 9 Sen. And the 17th Panzergrenadier Division of the Empire has just sent a telegram saying that they have reached the north bank of the Tigris River and are preparing to move closer to the main force. Our right flank is the 20th Panzergrenadier Division, which is 9 kilometers away from Baghdad Now, the entire area along the Baghdad river has been completely controlled by us. As of today, according to our estimates, our troops here should reach 1400, including 300 tanks and 8 troops. Heavy artillery, the second-line troops are coming in one after another. This includes the infantry of the [-]th Division, and a large number of artillery units. Baghdad is already on the tiger's mouth. As long as we close our mouths, we can swallow the city immediately .”

Feng Yuxiang nodded, but he was thinking in his heart, "Baghdad? How was this city conquered in the past? Why can't I remember that it took so much effort to take down Baghdad?" A strange question was in Feng Yuxiang's mind It circled inside.Of course, it is impossible for Feng Yuxiang to remember every detail of history, not to mention that the reality is completely different.He really has no way to formulate any new tactics for this. Now, the safest way is to rely on his own soldiers, tanks and super cannons to deal with this city that refuses to surrender. Although, he knows Many innocent people will definitely die in this battle, but for the sake of victory, he can no longer control so many.

Thinking of this, Feng Yuxiang nodded slightly, and said, "Since this is the case, I don't care about anything, and order the troops to prepare for the attack as soon as possible. Remember, the importance of Baghdad is self-evident, and we must take this city .Because he is the last obstacle preventing us from entering Saudi Arabia. I will give you 7 days, and after 7 days I will see our flag on the top of the Iraqi Ministry of Defense building!" Feng Yuxiang pointed in the direction of Baghdad loudly Said.

"But, Commander-in-Chief." After hearing the task assigned by the Commander-in-Chief, Chen Jitang stood at attention abruptly, and said quickly, "However, it will take about 56 days for our troops to be mobilized. If we wait until the heavy artillery is fully mobilized, The time for the attack may have passed long ago. Now Baghdad has nearly 7 troops from the Iraqi 11th and 20th Army Groups, and they also have a large amount of food and ammunition. Baghdad’s defense measures are also very complete. They There are many high-rise buildings and small bunkers. These areas may become fortresses and block our progress. In short, under the current situation, it is impossible for us to complete the attack on Baghdad within 7 days. Even if we give us [-] It's impossible for the troops." Chen Jitang was as stubborn as ever, and expressed his opinion without losing the opportunity.

"Don't give me a reason, Chen Jitang, don't give me a reason!" Feng Yuxiang waved his hand heavily at the other party, "Be confident in yourself. I know what you're talking about, and I'm also very clear about our strength. Believe it Me, Baghdad is definitely easier than Tehran because Iraq doesn't have a strong backup and their morale is low. In my opinion, maybe we send a small team into Baghdad and we can take the city! "Feng Yuxiang's expression was serious, and he didn't mean to be joking at all.

But before he could finish his words, the voice of a messenger came from outside the door, "Sir, I am Captain Feng Xuefeng, the messenger of the 41st Armored Army. We just received an intelligence report from inside Baghdad. The intelligence said, A detachment of the Panzer Corps has entered Baghdad at 17!"

"What?" After hearing the news, both Feng Yuxiang and Chen Jitang were taken aback. They really didn't expect such a small episode.Feng Yuxiang immediately asked back: "When did you get this report. Also, tell me which unit entered Baghdad. What is their designation?" After the messenger left, Feng Yuxiang immediately pulled Song Zheyuan away Said: "Check with me immediately, is there any reconnaissance troops entering Baghdad, I want to know what is going on?"

Just as Feng Yuxiang was getting a little impatient, Song Zheyuan sent an even more shocking news: "I've found it out, I've found it out, it's the Lightning Troop of the Empire, lunatics, lunatics! That kid Du Yuming led 10 [-] mechanized infantrymen have effectively taken over Iraq's Ministry of Defense and forced Iraq to surrender."

"What? Du Yuming?" After hearing the news, everyone present was stunned.

Let's turn the time back to the Chinese Consulate in Baghdad at around 5:26 in the evening on May 18.

"I want to find the mayor of Baghdad and Iraqi president Qassem, and I want their surrender." When Du Yuming said this cruel sentence, everyone present couldn't help but stunned.

"Surrender? Should we surrender to the Iraqis or should the Iraqis surrender to us?" a female diplomat muttered softly.If Du Yuming wants to surrender to the Iraqi army now, the time seems wrong.Although the Chinese Consulate in Baghdad will definitely not be able to withstand the thunderbolt of the Iraqi army, but by virtue of the "Geneva Convention", the Iraqis will not be so frantic that they want to attack a country's consulate.Therefore, it is still possible for Du Yuming and the others to hide in the consulate to protect themselves, and there is no need to surrender to Iraq at all.However, if Du Yuming found the mayor of Baghdad because he needed him to hand over the city, then the situation would be too weird.How many people does Du Yuming have?Even including those volunteers inside the consulate, mainly guards, chefs, handymen, waiters and some Chinese in Iraq who escaped the war in the Chinese consulate, the number of this small volunteer team is less than 200 , and they lack training and actual combat experience, if they face a real battle, they can only use it for appearance at best.

Therefore, all consulate staff, including Ambassador Guo Taiqi, did not believe that Du Yuming would force the opponent to surrender with such a few soldiers on hand.

"Mr. Major! Major Du Yuming!" After being silent for a long time, Guo Taiqi finally couldn't help but speak. "Major, you just said that we need to surrender, do we need to surrender or?"

"Nonsense!" Du Yuming blushed, stared sharply, and said loudly, "Surrender is not in Lao Tzu's dictionary. It's not that we want to surrender, but that the Iraqis want them to surrender to us."

"Ah?" Du Yuming said it very clearly and clearly this time.

crazy!It's just crazy.No one can think of such crazy things.A squad of only 11 people actually demanded the surrender of a capital city with hundreds of thousands of enemies. This is an idea that only a lunatic can come up with.Unless Du Yuming and these guys are gods descended from the earth, they have cultivated the indestructible body of King Kong.Therefore, Guo Taiqi immediately said: "Major, I know you are eager to do meritorious service. However, meritorious service does not mean death. There are only 11 of you. I really can't think of how you can convince the Iraqi president, the mayor of Baghdad and those Iraqi generals. They surrender, unless they all go crazy." Guo Taiqi paused, and then said: "Of course, if Major Du wants to make meritorious service and get a medal, he doesn't need to use such drastic methods. In my opinion, as long as you can It is enough to defend this consulate. After all, the consulate is a symbol of our Chinese empire. As long as this building can be protected and our people can be preserved, I think a second-class Golden Dragon Medal from the Ministry of War cannot escape. "

"Hehe," after listening to Guo Taiqi's words, Du Yuming waved his hand slightly and said, "Mr. Ambassador, I know the current situation, and I am also very aware of the gap between myself and the opponent's strength, but these are not problems." He took out a pack of Yellow River cigarettes from his bosom, lit one, took a deep breath, and then continued: "Mr. Ambassador, please believe me, this is nothing, I am confident, because our troops have arrived They are on the outskirts of Baghdad, and all the Iraqis are in panic at this moment. As long as we raise our arms, they will definitely surrender to us." At this point, he glanced at the people present, and said to Guo Taiqi: "Ambassador Sir, have you sent your liaison officer yet? He is a key step that affects whether we can get outside support, which determines whether we can win Baghdad in the end."

"Please rest assured, although I have great doubts about your plan, delivering the letter is not a problem." Guo Taiqi took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from his brow, and said, "I have already handed over your written report to mine." A subordinate, he once worked in the Secret Service of the Iraqi Station of the Imperial Security Bureau, is very clever, and should be able to send the news to General Chen Jitang as quickly as possible."
