Chapter 1461: Prologue of the Appeaser

The US infantry battalion on the Tarawa Heights is still immersed in the mood of cheering for its own air force.

However, when the U.S. combat squad headed to the two crash sites discovered that it was not the fighter planes of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation that fell, but the French gusts, all the cheers and cheers froze on the faces of every U.S. soldier.

The battalion commander of the U.S. infantry battalion also had a very bright face. When the two infantry squads sent reports, he also received a message from the Eighth Army Command.

The third air strike on the Iraqi-Syrian Federation failed, and all 130 stealth fighter jets were shot down by the superior air defense missiles of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation.

In the Isfahan air battle, facing the air force of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation, the NATO Air Force has been defeated and withdrew from the battlefield. The airspace of Isfahan has already belonged to the air control domain of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation.

The imagined victory of the Air Force did not appear, and the opposite result appeared.

Major Sam, the commander of the 112th Infantry Battalion of the Eighth Army, sat paralyzed in the command tent.

The Eighth Army also clearly requested in the battle report notice that the 11th Mechanized Infantry Brigade, which belongs to Shangfeng of the 112th Infantry Battalion, must hold this high ground for at least 36 hours, even if it loses air cover.

The 112th Infantry Battalion needs to provide at least twelve hours of preparation time for the entire mechanized infantry brigade.

If the Iraqi-Syrian Federation ground attack does not occur during these twelve hours, then the 112th Infantry Battalion has completed its mission.

And if it is attacked by the ground forces of the Iraqi-Syrian Federal Guard now, it will have to hold on for twelve hours.

From the perspective of Major Sam, this task is very difficult. The combat capability of the Iraqi-Syrian Federal Guard has already been explained a lot from the Israeli war.

The war has only lasted for 24 hours, and the United States has lost control of the Arabian Peninsula, lost Isfahan's air supremacy, and lost a large number of advanced fighter jets.

The powerful U.S. Navy dare not even approach the Persian Gulf, let alone support ground operations.

If the troops of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation were on the road to Isfahan at this moment, Major Sam felt that it would be very rare for him to be able to defend for six hours.

If the opponent is ISIS, Lange, or the Guards, then Major Sam dares to issue a military order, and there is absolutely no problem for twelve hours.

But in the face of the Iraqi-Syrian Federal Guard,

Still under the opponent's superior air force, it is really difficult to hold this high ground.

Even though the 112th Infantry Battalion has built many defense points and dug a large number of foxholes, and the weapons and ammunition can meet the high-intensity combat for more than ten hours, Major Sam always feels that it is very unreliable.

Because the strength shown by the Iraqi-Syrian Federation in the 24 hours since the beginning of the war is really amazing. Now, how dare he underestimate the opponent of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation, which has only been established for a few years.

Obeying orders is a soldier's bounden duty, no matter how difficult it is, Major Sam can only carry out orders.

Maybe the next thing will not be so bad, after all, so far, no information has been received that the Iraqi-Syrian federal forces have entered Iran.

As long as twelve hours later, the entire 11th Mechanized Infantry Brigade will be able to enter the line of defense, and the highland of Tarawa will be firmly controlled by the United States.

Sam conveyed the order of going up to every soldier. At the same time, he also told every soldier the result of the previous air battle, but he didn't say a word about the failure of the US military in other aspects.

If you say too much, the blow to the soldiers will be too great. He needs the soldiers below to fight, and he needs the soldiers to maintain their fighting spirit, not a group of broken soldiers who are distracted.

But even if he didn't mention the failure of the US military in other places, the failure of the Isfahan air battle was enough to hit every US soldier.

After all, before this, every American soldier was looking forward to the news of the Air Force's victory with excitement.

No one ever thought that the one who failed would be himself.

When the actual battle results come out, the blow can be imagined.

Almost all the U.S. soldiers looked dispirited. Fortunately, the U.S. sergeant major system is very sound. Encouraged by the sergeant majors, all the U.S. soldiers cheered up and returned to their foxholes. , tidy up foxholes, and get ready for battle.

Modern warfare has completely bid farewell to positional warfare, but there are no houses or buildings on this highland, and no fortifications have been built. American soldiers can only use mountain rocks and canyon commanding heights to defend through foxholes.

At the same time, the Iranian regular army of the two regiments on the side also received an order to assist in the defense and began to strengthen the defense on the two wings of the Tarawa Heights.

What they didn't know was that the assault company of the 3rd Armored Division of the Red Police Corps had stopped advancing 80 kilometers away from the Tarawa Heights.

The Pacifier self-propelled field artillery behind the battle fortress was leaving the battle fortress. Four huge mechanical arms, like four big legs, stepped away from the central road.

Seven pacifiers disappeared into the night alone, and the assault company, ISIS, Lange, and Ming Guard guerrillas continued to advance along the road.

Leaving the calmer on the side of the road, he walked forward on the barren desert, and stopped at a place nearly a kilometer away from the road.

Four huge mechanical arms stretched out in all directions, and the tires on the mechanical arms were in contact with the ground. From the original walking method like a robot, it quickly changed into a car.

However, the Pacifier did not use wheels to advance. The ends of the four mechanical arms each extended a plow, and the sharp plow directly plunged into the hard Gobi.

The whole process does not require manual operation. Near the seven deployed artillery positions, there is only one row of defensive soldiers to protect the seven pacifiers.

The artillery position was expanded and the turret was clearly displayed at once. The diamond-shaped turret was like the huge radar head of the Phalanx. Inside the heavy chassis were the power cabin and the ammunition depot.

It does not require personnel to operate at all, and the Pacifier does not have a so-called personnel cockpit, only power and ammunition.

The gun barrels that look like two arms are fully stretched out, like two sniper rifles that have been magnified hundreds of times.

Outside the rifle-like artillery chamber, there are also two thick shell conveyor belts connected. During the shelling, the shells are transported from here to the barrel. The ejection device of the shell case is exactly the same as that of the rifle.

Automatic bomb feeding, automatic attack, wheeled forward, tracked forward, and robotic arm crawling, no need for manual labor, extremely precise attack, and instant super firepower coverage, these are all the advantages of the Pacifier. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
