Chapter 1429: First Battle Target Kuwait

The effect of the first round of missile strikes met expectations.

The Missile Corps of the Red Police Corps successfully launched a saturation attack on all US military bases in the Middle East.

It successfully destroyed all the key military facilities of the US military in the Middle East, and successfully captured a large number of US soldiers.

But as the United States said, the war has just begun, and the failure at the beginning was more the result of the sneak attack of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation.

However, if such sneak attack tactics were not adopted, a large number of US military bases in the Middle East would bring huge troubles to the war.

Therefore, Cai Ruichen is also willing to bear the charge of this kind of sneak attack. Of course, soldiers are not tired of deceit, not to mention that Cai Ruichen also expressed his firm attitude and position beforehand.

However, the results of the first round of missile strikes can only help the Iraqi-Syrian Federation win a few days.

The United States is indeed stunned by the attack, but it won't be long before the United States will readjust, and then there will be a real battle.

Therefore, Cai Ruichen should also take advantage of this period of time to seize a powerful posture as much as possible to ensure that in the face of the adjusted US military, all the unstable factors around him can be resolved.

The first round of missile strikes was just an appetizer, completely destroying the US air force base on the Arabian Peninsula.

Ensure that the U.S. Air Force cannot counterattack the Iraqi-Syrian Federation in the first place.

And this goal has been fully achieved. The US military fighter jets that took off to perform security or combat missions also quickly left the Middle East airspace.

The reason is simple. Losing contact with the NATO joint commander, the U.S. military has no time to organize an effective counterattack, and the original airport cannot go back, so they can only go to other safe airports to land.

The first round of missile attacks began at 4:30 in the morning, and the second round of missile attacks was at 7:30 in the morning.

It's not that the Red Police Corps is incapable of launching multiple waves of saturation strikes in a short period of time, but that it has to wait until all the U.S. troops are mobilized to better attack the enemy.

In the second round of missile strikes, the key targets were the three US military bases in Kuwait, and the targets also included ground troops of the US Eighth Army in Iran.

After the first round of air strikes, the Eighth Army of the U.S. Army still stayed near Isfahan, and Cai Ruichen couldn't let go of any opportunity to wipe out the effective forces of the U.S. military.

At the same time, the ground troops of the Red Police Corps were all ready, waiting for the final order to start.

At this moment, the outside world is also guessing what kind of offensive the Iraqi-Syrian Federal Guard will launch after gaining a temporary regional advantage.

Most people believe that the next action of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation must be to send troops into Iran to fight against the NATO coalition forces together with the Islamic State, the Lange, and the Guards.

It's just that Cai Ruichen didn't intend to send troops into Iran, but set his sights on Kuwait.

Kuwait is just a small country in the Gulf. After the Kuwait War, the United States has stationed troops in Kuwait for a long time, and after withdrawing from Iraq, the United States increased its garrison in Kuwait to more than 13,000 in order to strengthen its control over the Middle East.

It is also the place where the United States has the most troops in all countries in the Middle East.

The United States has 950,000 troops, of which nearly 400,000 are stationed in more than 100 overseas military bases around the world.

Especially in Europe, there are as many as 120 US military garrisons, and of course, Europe also has the largest number of garrisons.

Next is the Middle East. There are tens of thousands of garrisons in Saudi Arabia, more than 10,000 in Kuwait, and garrisons in Oman, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and other countries, adding up to 30,000 to 40,000.

Moreover, the US garrison in Kuwait is basically based on ground troops. It not only has a comprehensive training base to provide training for the troops, but also a logistics transfer center, which can meet the hardware needs of quickly stationing a large number of troops.

A report by the U.S. Congress a few years ago pointed out that in view of the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq and threats from Iran, the large-scale U.S. troop presence in Kuwait will enable greater strategic flexibility to deal with sudden conflicts in the Persian Gulf region.

This report completely examines the relationship between the United States and six Persian Gulf countries including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Oman.

The oil reserves in the Persian Gulf account for more than half of the world's total reserves, and the natural gas reserves exceed one-third. Stability in the region is critical to the global economy. But in this region, the United States is facing the Iranian nuclear threat and terrorists. In subsequent reports, it also vaguely pointed out that the growth of the Iran-Syria Federation poses a threat to the existence of the United States' interests in the Middle East.

Currently, the U.S. military bases in Kuwait include Camp Arikan, Salem Air Force Base, Camp Birin, Doha Barracks, and Kabaos Military Base.

The Doha Barracks is located about 40 kilometers west of Kuwait City. Since the Gulf War, the U.S. military has transformed it from a comprehensive industrial warehouse into a U.S. military facility and has become an important base for the U.S. military.

The Kabaosi Army Base is located in the northern part of Kuwait, less than 90 kilometers away from the Iraqi border. It is a warning zone drawn by the Kuwaiti government in the northern part of the country. It covers an area of ​​more than 2,000 square kilometers.

Salem Air Force Base has been completely destroyed in the first round of missile strikes.

The target of Cai Ruichen's harvest is the Doha barracks, which is the most powerful military base of the US military in Kuwait.

It is also the resident of the 1st Cavalry Division of the ace unit of the US Army. Although the 1st Cavalry Division has entered Iran to fight, there are still two armored battalions staying here to rest.

The most important thing is that the Kuwaiti Army Command under the US Central Headquarters is stationed in the Doha Barracks, which is responsible for commanding and controlling all troops deployed in Kuwait.

In addition, the Doha camp is also the forward deployment base of the US Joint Task Force in Kuwait. There are tens of thousands of troops in the entire camp. There are two longbow Apache brigades and two multiple rocket launcher brigades stationed there, and there are hundreds of M270 tactical missile launch vehicles.

However, if you want to invade Kuwait, it is not as simple as sending paratroopers to Saudi Arabia and other countries.

After all, those countries in Saudi Arabia are their own people in the dark. In the face of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation's attack on the US military base and the invasion of troops, it is enough to protest and show it to others, but Kuwait is different.

Kuwait is firmly under the control of the US military, and Cai Ruichen did not do anything to Kuwait in advance, so the entire Gulf region, Kuwait and the Iraqi-Syrian Federation are also the most difficult to deal with.
