The news of the Soviet tank army entering the Middle East shocked the US Pentagon and the White House, Secretary of Defense Cheney, and Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Powell were all shocked, which proved that their earlier judgment was completely overturned. Judging from the photos taken by the spy satellite, this force is quite large, and the dense tank army has entered dozens of kilometers in Iran. The rear guard forces have just set off. The huge scale has made people think about whether the Soviet Union wants to fight the United States with all its might.

The organization of the shocked department was already full, and Bush could not make any unnecessary reactions at the moment. The panic was not in line with the president's identity, and the compromise was no longer considered. He was a soldier and had led the CIA. In a sense, he and Selov were both spies.

"We must first understand what the Soviet Union really means, whether it is to protect Baghdad and Tehran, or to compete with us on the battlefield, but before that, we must annihilate the Iraqi heavy army around Kuwait. This is a prerequisite. To do this, no matter how things evolve, we will occupy a favorable position." President Bush fixed his elbow on the table and said calmly, "Attack Kuwait City, use war to talk, and tell Admiral Schwartzkopf the urgency of the situation!"

Defense Minister Cheney and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Powell nodded. Time is unprecedentedly urgent. It will take time for the Soviet army to move south to reach a place that threatens the US military. In the past few days, it will become very important. If the United States annihilates the Iraqi army before that, and then there will be a decent ceasefire, the Soviet Union will have to suffer this silence.

If the Soviet army arrives at the war zone and the coalition forces are still fighting with the Iraqis, the situation will be quite unfavorable. A decent withdrawal is the best result. Once the Soviet army starts to attack, the coalition forces will definitely not be able to withstand it.

Washington immediately criticized the Soviet tank army entering the Middle East. The White House spokesperson said fiercely, "Moscow's risky behavior is very dangerous. If we throw out the world's peace, we have to doubt whether the peace position that the Soviet Union has always stated is true or is deceiving the whole world."

"We must repeat that the United States' military strength is far stronger than it shows, and don't doubt the United States' determination to uphold justice. Nuclear weapons are not an option that cannot be considered."

The United States made a very tough statement and finally swung the nuclear stick out. At the same time, General Schwartzkopf, the commander of the US Army in the Central East, had also learned about the Soviet Red Army entering the Middle East. When he learned the news, he was also shocked and learned about the situation he was currently facing and the pressure Washington faces to continue supporting the operation.

This pressure cannot be felt by politicians. Admiral Schwartzkopf, who knew that the matter was urgent, could no longer bear the sluggish style of the Seventh Army. He called the Seventh Army command directly and urged them to enter the attack state immediately. "If a bad situation occurs due to a certain unit's problems, the military court will not forgive us. The President has asked us to speed up the attack."

"We are heavy troops, how can we compare with the light infantry division when mobilizing?" The commander of the Seventh Army hung up the phone fiercely and ordered, "But we should indeed speed up a little. Our real enemy is here."

The real enemy was naturally the Soviet Union. The Seventh Army, which had been stationed in Europe for a long time, had a deep understanding of the Soviets.

The fierce statement of the White House and the attitude of speaking with nuclear weapons not only shocked the whole world, but also had to make a positive response. The Kremlin spokesperson said that the Soviet Union fulfilled its allies' obligations to protect Iraq and Iran from invasion, which should not be criticized. The Soviet Union bears international obligations like the United States. When the United States fulfills its responsibilities, it makes no sense to accuse the Soviet Union of fulfilling its responsibilities, and the central government has decided that it will not change it.

While this statement was issued, General Bagramiyan, the commander of the Southern War Zone, had led all the troops of the Southern War Zone to cross the border. On the border of hundreds of kilometers, the Kurds and Azerbaijanis living in the local areas watched these red flags enter the Middle East at home. The length of the flow of people was like the eternal Euphrates River. It was impossible to see a word. The dust that shook the sky and the sun seemed to be able to cover the scorching sun in the sky.

The Soviet armed forces, which gathered heavy equipment, were like a mountain walking. Every step forward, the sense of oppression further increased. "While we were building these two highways, we stored some fuel and food warehouses at some locations near the expressway kilometers!" The person in charge of the KGB in charge of the Middle East introduced in detail, and the preparations for the construction project were earlier.

"It's enough to ensure these two points. We don't lack ammunition. We can use the reserves of Iraq and Iran. Anyway, we are all made by us, and there will be no conflict." General Bagramiyan, who lowered his head and held the map, calmed down. "At the current speed, the Sixth Tank Army will arrive in Basra in five days. We will have one day in the evening. During this period, Kuwait must be kept, no matter what method is used."

"Order all troops to speed up, we will go to Basra to repair!" General Baglamyan ordered.

The news of the Soviet tank army entering the Middle East increased the pressure in General Schwartzkopf's heart. This was no longer a game of unilateral abuse of food by the US soldiers. Therefore, he had to use all his efforts to complete the purpose of Washington's plan, annihilate the troops near Kuwait, and liberate Kuwait. Because time was tight, Schwartzkopf used all the heavy weapons he could use, including tactical ground-to-ground missiles, rocket launchers and long-range howitzers. The US imperialists proved with practical actions that the American artilleryism was only incomparable to the Soviet Union, and it was easy to deal with ordinary countries.

Looking from the air, the huge heavy artillery group of the US military covered and fired a spectacular scene. The heavy artillery positions of the two main divisions were pouring out grenades and cannon shells of various caliber, and a large number of M270 rocket launchers joined the chorus. The scarlet and brilliant rocket trajectory reflected the horizon red in an instant. The trajectory of countless rockets and other shells was brilliant but fatal and unique.

The fierce shooting of the cannon group was like countless rumbling steel beasts roaring, or like a desert storm rolling up in the desert. Especially the first volley of the rocket launcher group covered the entire Iraqi 110th Division position. While the shelling was underway, Abrams heavy tanks had already emerged. With the cooperation of the Apache armed helicopter group in the sky, the Iraqis caught off guard, and the entire defense line was facing a huge test.

The emergency telegram reached the Iraqi Army Command in Kuwait City and was then transferred to the base camp of Baghdad. This made Baghdad furious. The US military's ground attack was only a little more than a day, and it forced the Iraqi People's Army to shrink its troops to defend Kuwait. Now even the outer defense line in Kuwait is in a hurry.

At this time, on the wide frontal battlefield, the Americans had already exchanged fire with Iraqi tanks with the support of armed helicopters. The tanks of both sides fired intertwined. At a distance of three thousand meters, the Abrams tank's stable artillery system and depleted uranium armor-piercing bombs exerted great power. Almost every T-72 tank hit the key by depleted uranium shells would be destroyed and lost its combat effectiveness. Because the Soviet T72 tank has been in service for many years and has a huge number of service, some inherent defects have not been improved, and they are only made up for the higher-end T80s, such as flying turrets.

"The Soviet Union gave us a week of rescue time. If the 540,000 troops cannot do this, the Party and the country will not forgive you!" If Iraq had not been a socialist country now, the Baghdad government would have called out the holy! War to gather combat power, "Reduce troops, even if you use your lives, you must stop the Americans."

The Kuwait Command knew that Kuwait's territory was far more precious than soldiers in the eyes of the country. The only significant advantage of Iraq is the number of soldiers. Faced with the strict orders of the capital, the Kuwait Command also began to be ruthless, informing all troops that the Soviet Red Army had gone south and two legions of the Iranian People's Army were also preparing to cross the river to support.

On the other hand, the 42 divisions of the Kuwait Group were divided into four armies, with three armies defending and one armies as a reserve. Each army facing the attack of the US army left two divisions as a reserve. The entire Kuwait defense line deployed in this way was not as a defense line, but rather, it was better to save time to complete the encirclement for the United States.

Under normal circumstances, a commander with a brain would not pose like a turtle shell. If the Soviet Red Army did not intervene, the US military could play with the Iraqis step by step.

But now the Soviet Union is moving south faster and faster, and General Schwartzkopf is very uncomfortable in the face of this turtle shell. The Iraqis' shrinking defense line gathers dense forces in every direction. In the same sense, suicide deployment in the Soviet Red Army is getting closer and closer, making it difficult for him to attack.

"Use all the firepower to level the city of Kuwait for me!" The anxious Admiral Schwartzkopf directly asked the Pentagon to join the strategic bomber group. It was no longer time to worry about Kuwait casualties. At the same time, he called the Seventh Army Command, "Whether time can be broken through Kuwait on schedule, the threat of the Soviet Red Army has made us unable to maintain peace."

"Our troops head to the north, block the buses to Kuwait and cut the connection between Kuwait and Basra," said the commander of the Seventh Army in a calm tone. "If it fails, we will give the entire army time to retreat."
