Chapter 1456: The Hope of the American Infantry

The outcome of a war may be unknowable and impossible to grasp. It may be that just a missile that misses the target can change the situation of the battle, but it can strive for the greatest possibility of victory within the largest range.

Air supremacy is the possibility of striving for the greatest victory.

West of Isfahan, Tarawa Heights, this is the main front-line defense point of the U.S. Eighth Army. On this highland, there are aeolian landforms everywhere, and tall weathered stones block the sand dunes spreading westward. The wind and sand are like exquisite artists, carving this stone forest.

An infantry battalion of the U.S. Army defended here. There used to be only one card here, but in just one day, it was strengthened to a battalion.

The U.S. military has received information that the Iraqi-Syrian Federal Army may enter Iran at any time, and the key target is the Eighth Army in Isfahan.

Because the Iraq-Syria Federation can only help ISIS, the Lange, and the Guards recapture the last holy city of Isfahan if they help the Islamic State, the Lange, and the Guards regain control of the government.

Today's Islamic State, the Islamic Revolutionary Forces, and the Guards have lost their control over the Iranian regime. NATO is well aware of this. As long as Isfahan is completely controlled, in the eyes of the Iranian people, it will be It is equivalent to losing the blessing of Allah, and the situation is completely different.

The current mission of the Eighth Army of the U.S. Army is not to quickly eliminate the remaining Islamic State, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards, and the Guards, but to cooperate with the regular Iranian army to defend Isfahan and face the Iranian-Syrian Federal Guards that may enter Iran at any time.

The Tarawa Heights is the only barrier to the west. Once this barrier is lost, the entire west gate of Isfahan will be open to the Iraqi-Syrian Federal Guard.

The commanding heights of the entire Isfahan will all fall under the control of the Iraqi-Syrian Federal Guard. By then, the NATO coalition forces will be truly passive.

Once the Air Force cannot guarantee air supremacy, it will be almost impossible for the NATO coalition forces to completely control Isfahan.

On the side of the U.S. Eighth Army, there are also two regiments of Iranian regular troops defending. The main force of the U.S. Eighth Army is also supporting in the rear to ensure that this only western gateway is guarded.

But for the American soldiers in Tarawa at the moment, such a night is a bit difficult.

Although the U.S. soldiers at the grassroots level still don't know the current overall battle situation, the Eighth Army has also suffered two rounds of air strikes before, which has slightly affected the morale of the Eighth Army.

The first half of the night was okay, but in the second half of the night, the air began to become hotter, and it seemed that an upcoming storm was brewing.

There was a nasty restlessness in the air.

In the mountains, most of the U.S. soldiers should be resting, but the temperature of the land and the sweltering heat of the air raids make it difficult to sleep, coupled with the tension of the battle, and the air raids that may be faced at any time, many U.S. soldiers Soldiers, did not sleep at all.

Many of the American soldiers who were resting directly in the foxholes had lost their sleepiness, and were staring at the stars all over the sky, in a daze.

Not long after midnight, the roar of fighter jets from the sky caused all the American soldiers on the high ground to turn over and sit up one by one.

The roar of fighter jets came from the western sky, and the air defense siren in the instinctive impression did not sound, but from the side, the same roar of fighter jets soon came.

This made all the American soldiers who suffered two bombings in just one day cheer one by one.

These American soldiers all jumped out of the individual pit with their weapons held high, cheering to the sky:

"Get rid of those damn yellow-skinned monkeys!"

"Kill the damn Middle Easterners, kill Cai Ruichen, bomb Marin City..."

The excited American soldiers cheered one by one. For them, the sky has always been their own.

It was the first time that it was bombed. Now that its own air force has come, it will definitely beat the shit out of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation.

This is what every American soldier thinks almost instinctively. In their view, waiting for the arrival of their powerful air force, the Iraq-Syria Federation, a country that has only been established for only two years, is bound to suffer a crushing defeat.

However, the army cannot understand the current hardships of the air force. All NATO coalition pilots already know the current strategic situation of both sides, and tell every NATO pilot pragmatically that NATO is currently at an absolute disadvantage.

The combat effectiveness of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation Air Force cannot be underestimated.

Of course, this did not hit the NATO pilots. Although there are disadvantages in the overall situation, they are also very optimistic that the war can definitely be reversed in their own hands.

In fact, this is quite normal. The US media’s assessment of the military power of various countries all relies on the analysis of think tanks, and think tanks are employed by political and influential groups.

In the US media, the country's military power actually depends on what the current needs of the US power group are.

If the U.S. military wants military expenditures, it will naturally advocate how powerful the hostile forces outside are.

If the U.S. military wants to sell weapons and promote new equipment, it will naturally need to use equipment from other countries for comparison. In order to show the public that a huge investment in research can get a good weapon and equipment, the U.S. media needs it at this time. Make your own powerful advocacy.

In the past few years, although the Iraqi-Syrian Federation has grown rapidly, it has not really entered the eyes of the United States. In the last period of time, it was only conducting necessary political propaganda.

At this moment, U.S. soldiers, including most countries in the world, have only a half-knowledge of the actual military capabilities of the Iraq-Syria Federation, even for senior personnel.

Powerful propaganda is conducive to uniting the hearts of the people, but it will make the grassroots people get lost in the powerful imagination of the propaganda.

However, the self-confidence of US soldiers at the grassroots level is not the result of propaganda, but a consensus that has penetrated into the spirit of US soldiers and entered the bone marrow.

At this moment, the fighter jets of the two sides have not yet formally contacted, and a silent war has already started between the early warning aircraft of the two sides.

Isfahan is located on the central plateau of Iran. Although it is not as high as the area in the north near the Caspian Sea, compared with the ridges on both sides, it is also the highest place in the Iranian plain.

The former Mesopotamia gave birth to a powerful empire here, and at this moment, it has also become a place where a global hegemon and a great power compete in the early stage of its rise.

The terrain here is relatively high, which is not the same as the plateau area of ​​three or four kilometers for fighter jets. The flying height of fighter jets will lose a few kilometers for nothing, so that they can even directly fly at high altitudes and be affected by individual air defense. Missile strike.

But in this place, the hostility is complicated, and there are wind, sand and rocks everywhere, as well as the mountains and valleys after the impact of the previous river basin.
