Chapter 615 Fallujah
The wave of uprisings spread across the fourteen provinces in Iraq, and each county had an emergency telegram to Baghdad. The huge power accumulated by Iraq over the past decade burst out at this moment. There were armed forces wearing sickle and hammer flags everywhere. They were obviously prepared for a long time. Even Baghdad was giving troops, and many troops directly changed the flag and became an armed revolutionary force under Iraq.
Almost later on the same day, General Mustafa, the leader of the Kurdish Democratic Party, led the Kurdish armed forces to leave the Kurdish area where Kurds gathered. The fierce attack on the south was obviously a situation that echoed the Iraqi level in Basra. Even worse news came later. A well-equipped unit appeared on the border with Syria, which even exceeded the configuration of the capital Baghdad.
"Conquer Anbar Province, and gain a foothold here. We advanced eastward from the Euphrates River, and went south with the Kurds to attack Baghdad, supporting the central army to advance northward. Finally, in Baghdad, all the armed forces of the military government were annihilated and ending the long-standing civil war in our country." The Central Committee member Bashir, who had been in charge of this work in the Soviet Union, shouted.
"First contact our underground party members in Anbar Province, and work inside and outside to control the situation as quickly as possible, so that the anti-counterfeiting workers can take over the relevant work immediately, and first eliminate suspicious unstable factors. We must control the whole country within a period of time." Bashir stayed in the Soviet Union for a long time, and these people have received spy training, so he naturally understood what he meant.
The suspicious person means the military government, and the local armed forces. These are their enemies and will eventually be eliminated, either now or later. Bashir means that if he can be eliminated now, he will be eliminated.
Then Bashir received an order from Iraq's first secretary Hussein Alladi. Bashir's troops were established as the Western Military Region of the Iraqi People's Liberation Army, and Bashir became the political commissar of the Central Military Region stationed in the Western Military Region. He was responsible for the political work of the entire army, and the commander's position was temporarily vacant because the central government temporarily knew who was more suitable for the commander among these soldiers trained by the Soviet Union.
Anbar Province is the largest province in Iraq. The vast area bordering Syria is a vast desert. The endless desert is not crowded at all. Only some herders exist and cannot resist this armed force at all. However, the largest province is only more than 20 kilometers east of Baghdad. It was officially because of seeing this. Shelov and the General Staff decided to allow these troops to land from Syria and attack from the western border of Iraq.
Over the air force was the revolt of fighter jets guiding the route, and members of the Soviet military advisory group in Syria were flying fighter jets with Syria flags whistling over the sky. In the Middle East War a year ago, the Iraqi air force was also hit by Israel. As the main provider of Iraq's equipment, the Soviet Union temporarily endured Iraq in the name of insufficient production, and has not yet supplemented the lost fighter jets today.
These fighter jets have actually been in place for a long time, but not for the Iraqi government, but for the Iraqi**, which has already raised the banner of uprising in Basra, and the newly established Iraqi People's Liberation Army.
The troops of the Western Military Region continued to easily crush villages on the road. At the same time, as the troops became larger and larger as the process of marching, there were more than 30,000 people when they arrived at the provincial capital Ramadi. T54 tanks slowly worked hard, and behind them was a huge convoy. In oil-producing countries like Iraq, there was no shortage of fuel. When the entire army was moving, huge dust and smoke covered the sky and the sun, covering the vast team that lasted dozens of miles.
This scene made Ramadi's government defenders frightened. After negotiations, the two sides reached an agreement. The Iraqi government troops stationed in Fallujah became part of the Iraqi People's Liberation Army and attacked Baghdad with the troops from the Western Military Region.
In the first few days, the Baghdad government seemed to be stunned by the sudden rebellion. An emergency telegram came from all directions. The Kurds in the north, led by Mustafa, had defeated the cities defended by the government forces, and headed south along the upper reaches of the two river basins. The south had completely controlled Iraq in Basra Province, unloaded huge military equipment from the ship, and organized more than 100,000 armed forces. In the battle between the government forces and the Iraqi People's Liberation Army two days ago, the underground party armed forces in the rear directly took the military base of the government forces from the back.
In just a few days after the Iraqi Uprising in Basra, four provinces in southern Iraq had fallen into the hands of the Iraqi People's Liberation Army. In addition, the Western Military Region that came from Syria, almost five provinces have been lost. Why is it said that it is almost the case? Fallujah, an important city in Anbar Province, is still in the hands of the government forces.
It seems that only five of Iraq's fourteen provinces have lost, but in fact, this cannot be calculated. The three provinces in northern Iraq are controlled by the Kurds, and the Kurds also account for a large proportion of the two provinces. If you look at this, in five days, the Iraqi military government has lost most of the country, leaving only a few provinces around Baghdad still under control.
"So great? I'm sure there are a large number of original government troops in it. If the war is unfavorable, they will definitely turn against each other. But forget it, this situation will be dealt with later." Selov put down the latest war report sent back from Iraq and asked, "Have you communicated well on Ismail? As long as Iraq wins, they will not be isolated in the Middle East. I hope they can temporarily put aside their differences and help Iraq first."
"There has been communicated and they ask us for 40 million US dollars in aid. They will dispatch 10,000 soldiers to Iraq to join the war." Moltin, director of the First General Administration, immediately replied, "The situation in their place is quite tense, and I hope we can give some support."
"As long as you can chew Iraq, this amount of money is not a problem. Give them the money and let their soldiers board the ship immediately!" Shelov simply agreed in full, and you should not be too stingy in this situation.
The fierce battle in Iraq spread throughout the world almost instantly. Compared with the United States in Vietnam, Iraq has achieved such great results in just a few days, which can almost be described as unstoppable. In contrast, the newspapers of Poland and Romania even showed optimistic expectations, and a new socialist country would soon appear. As mentioned above, it is seen that among the countries that have always hated us, democracy is developing vigorously, and even their own people do not believe in their own governments and accept our proposals."
"We can optimistically estimate that the great wave of world revolution is coming soon, and maybe our generation will see the United States and what he calls the free world falling down."
On January 20, when US President Nixon was sworn in, Nixon's heart was filled with gloom when he was sworn in Washington, especially the news from Iraq made him very upset. Such an incident broke out when the term was changing. No matter how he was a veteran politician, nothing happened.
It seemed that at the first time, Nixon was preparing to mobilize the Fifth Fleet of the United States to intervene in the Persian Gulf, but when he thought of the protesters who squatted at the door of the White House every day, he dispelled this idea. He came to power through anti-war elections, just as the Warsaw Pact countries said, now the free world, including the United States, has reached the point where the people do not believe anything to the government.
Even Nixon suspected that if the Soviet Union attacked the United States tomorrow, countless people would lead the way in the United States, just like the situation in Iraq in the past few days. There were only more than 10,000 people during the riot. In less than a week, the armed forces attacking Baghdad in three directions had reached nearly 200,000.
"Where is the Baath Party? What about the Shiites? What about the Sunnis? What about the tribal powers?" Nixon really wanted to know where these forces that have fought with the government forces in recent years have gone? Abdullahrahman said that these people are often the first targets to be eliminated. His men learned from the KGB and received the training model of Cheka.
The Iraqi People's Liberation Army's Western Military Region had reached more than 40,000 people outside Fallujah's city. Fallujah's defenders had received the order from Baghdad to block these rebels here.
Faced with the huge Iraqi People's Liberation Army, the government troops in Fallujah City were not idle, and they also actively prepared for war. Their main tactics include: placing a large number of boogies and improvised explosive devices on the road leading to the city; gunmen are arranged to guard the commanding heights in the city; dense tunnels, trenches, spider holes, minefields and roadside bombs are installed in the city, and government forces can transfer between various defense points and ammunition depots through tunnels; placing a large number of explosives in some buildings in the city, and controlling them through leads. Once the ** enter these bomb houses, they will be taken away in one pot; placing a rut and grenades on the main doors and windows of the buildings will be detonated if they try to push the door. To prevent the *** from experiencing the commanding heights, a large number of buildings' stairs are blown up or blocked; deliberately opening a road, and dense crossfire is ambushed on both sides to attract them to enter and attack.
This battle is of great significance to both sides of the war. Once Fallujah is captured, it seems that Baghdad will be surrounded from three directions. Both sides know this. The government army has released two divisions of troops to defend here. (To be continued.)
