Fao,.

Fao City is a strategic port city in the Persian Gulf and the largest oil port in southern Iraq. The Rumaila and Zubair oils in southern Iraq are exported through oil pipes at oil ports outside the Port of Faao. Controlling the Faao Peninsula can control important oil facilities in southern Iraq.

It can be said that this is a very important strategic location in Iraq.

As far as Iraq is concerned, the entire Faao Peninsula area is very important.

The Faw Peninsula is located at the southern tip of Iraq and the northern tip of the Persian Gulf, close to the mouth of the Arabian River, covering an area of ​​850 square kilometers. It is Iraq’s throat to the Persian Gulf.

Without the Faao Peninsula, Iraq is like being caught by someone's neck, making it hard to move.

During the Gulf War, the multinational forces also used this area as a strategic location for large-scale bombing. One of the reasons was for this.

Because this place is so important...

But at this moment, in another area of ​​the Faao Peninsula, which is the most important naval port Umm Qaisar, it is very busy at this moment.

Umm Qasar, a military port in southeastern Iraq, is adjacent to the Persian Gulf and faces Kuwait across a narrow waterway.

In 325 BC, Alexander the Great landed here when he returned from an expedition. Since then, the area has been ignored for a long time. During World War II, the Allied forces built a port here to transfer supplies to the Soviet Union. After the Iraqi Revolution in 1958, the revolutionary government began to build a permanent port in Umm Qesar.

The Iraqi government believes that the completion of the Umm Qaisar deep-water port will free Iraq from dependence on the waterways of the Arabian River, thereby reducing the possibility of Iran's blockade of Iraq.

The fact is that this is indeed the case.

In 1967, Umm Qaisar opened the port. In the Iran-Iraq War, the importance of Umm Qaisar became prominent.

In a future where history has not changed, in 1986, Iran captured the Faw Peninsula and blocked the Shatt al-Arab, but Umm Qasal never fell. This ensures the sea connection between Iraq and the outside world. In the first Gulf War, Iraq controlled Kuwait’s Bubiyan Island and other places through Umm Qasr.

During the Second Gulf War, Umm Gesar also became the landing site, and the British Royal Marines and Polish M Commando raided the port. But it was met with stubborn resistance from the Iraqi army. A few days later, with the assistance of the Australian army, the Iraqi army was finally repelled, and the US army was able to land here.

And now that history has changed, facing the Umm Qaisar's army, the Iranians only chose to mobilize the navy to contain them, as long as the troops here stay here. That's enough.

The 100,000 Iranian troops have already assembled at this time and are ready to attack Faor.

As a temporary command center, the importance of Umm Qaisar at this time is self-evident.

The so-called saving people and losing land, people and land gain; saving land and losing people, people and land lose.

As long as Iran’s viable power can be eliminated, Iraq’s strategic goal will be accomplished.

If the 100,000 main force is completely eliminated, what can Iran do?

Sean Conte thinks. That's probably it.

But how will Iran react to this?

He does not believe that the Iranians do not know what is happening in Iraq.

Both sides thought they were very concealed, but for this so-called concealment... well, from Sean's eyes. It is totally unqualified.

They don't even understand what a real war is.

Even in extreme terms, these people don't even know what they are doing.

Obviously it is a war that can be resolved quickly, and they have dragged on for so long and still can't get it...

In the beginning, Iraq had a chance of victory. At that time, Iran was embarrassed on all sides.

Later, Iran also had a chance to counterattack.

But at this time, Lao Huo carried out a major purge, which wiped out Iranian talents and gave Iraq a chance.

However, the Iraqis did not have the opportunity, and instead completely withdrew from the controlled Iranian region. Want to make peace.

Originally, this should be a good opportunity for Iranians, right?

Well, it looks like this on the surface.

But... Lao Huo chose to attack all the way.

But at this time, Iraq used its home game advantage to stop the Iranians.

The two sides then began a tug of war, which has been so far. Everyone can be said to be slow and tidy... God knows what they are thinking.

But this time, the Iraqis seemed to have seized the opportunity.

1,000 self-propelled artillery may not be a big country, but in the Iran-Iraq war, it is already an indispensable force.

Through these 1,000 self-propelled artillery, they will have a great possibility of annihilating the enemy.

——Of course, this is based on the fact that the Faao region has not fallen.

Fao is located in a swamp area and it is almost difficult to maneuver off roads.

If this place is occupied by Iran, once they use the occupied position to deploy a large number of missiles, it will be able to prevent Iraqi reinforcements from advancing.

I am afraid that the air force will not attack, which will inevitably be intercepted by Iran's high-density air defense firepower network and suffer heavy losses.

...

"Iran is going to win."

When the 2008 Dow missiles and 235 Eagle missiles were delivered by Olof, he has determined that the Iranians will win this time.

The Tao missile is a heavy-duty anti-tank missile weapon system developed by the United States with optical tracking, wire transmission instructions, and vehicle-mounted barrel launch. Mainly used to attack hard targets such as various tanks, armored vehicles, bunkers and artillery positions.

Eagle missiles are used to deal with aerial targets.

"The Iraqi army's combat power and morale have been declining after the long war, but the most important thing is the tilt of the United States, which enabled Iran to purchase a large number of US-made weapons and repair parts, and obtain the strongest firepower since the war; without these weapons, Iran Even if Faw can be defeated, it is unlikely that the Iraqi armored forces and air strikes will be blocked in the future."

Olof discovered that this would be a turning point in the war.

Although the Iranians bought weapons at three times the price, as Olof said, they have now obtained the key to victory. At this time, the Iranians are very likely to be able to win the final victory.

"Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared."

Canaan, who was next to Olof, said something like this.

"But neither Iran nor Iraq, they are actually not ready."

Olof didn't know what the specific identity of this Canaan was, but Olof knew that this person was a cruel woman who could be sold in the public, and then blatantly killed an entire team.

That is the kind of "superman" in Olof's mind.

It's just like Black Knight and them.

"Although I don't know why the United States and Iran will get mixed up when changes happen, it is obviously beneficial to us."

Compared to Olof, Catherine has no pressure.

In history, although Iran succeeded in defeating Fao, it was unable to eliminate the Iraqi army in one fell swoop, making Fao’s Iranian defenders fall into a war of attrition again. In addition, Iran’s supply source can only rely on Banda Khomeini Port. The continuous bombing by the Iraqi Air Force severely affected the speed of supply support. However, the success of this battle can be said to have changed the balance of power in the Iran-Iraq War. Iran has introduced new weapons and morale is at its peak; the Iraqi army is filled with pessimism from top to bottom, and compared with Iran, the mobilization of Iraqi manpower is close to the limit, and the war seems to be doomed.

But now, history is different.

With the new force joining Iraq, it now feels bullish, but Iran has not recovered from the large-scale purge, and there are still some problems with the command of the army.

"But it sounds interesting, isn't it?"

Catherine, who was holding Canaan's body, smiled.

"...?"

Olof looked at Catherine somewhat unclearly.

"It is clear that the Americans support Iraq, but they sell weapons to the Iranians. It is clear that the Soviet Union supports Iran, but Czechoslovakia below gave Iraq such a big surprise."

"..."

Olof didn't speak, but it seemed to be the case.

"For international arms dealers, this is normal. In fact, I hope these two countries can be completely destroyed. There should be no victors among them, and then we will become victors. It is best that they only Some oil will be produced. In this way, we will be able to sell weapons more conveniently...I heard that Mithril will also be involved in the war?"

Mithril,.

Of course Olof knew.

Moreover, Olof knew that they also had an invincible submarine.

"Of course, for the sake of balance, the Iraqis now have no navy at all. We have to increase the chances of the Iraqis.

When it comes to the Iraqi navy, one has to talk about the "strike war" between Iraq and Iran.

Since most of the Iraqi navy was destroyed at the beginning of the war, the rest was blocked at Umm Qasr naval port and the Arabian Hanoi. Its main means of "strikes on ships" was to use air force aircraft to launch missiles, throw bombs, and fire artillery. Iran uses gunboats, helicopters and short-range missiles.

From the beginning of the war to the present, a total of 329 ships have been attacked ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Many seafarers have been killed, about 50 ships have been completely destroyed, and a total of about 6 million tons of cargo has been lost.

This can also be said to be part of the "unrestricted warfare", which blocks the opposing side's logistics supply.

Because many of the ships that were attacked were ships of other countries, such as China and Japan, this "ship attack" was criticized by many people.

Now, the Iranians have received new air-to-air missiles, which means that the air power of the Iraqis is also restricted.

At this time, it is necessary to strengthen the maritime power of the Iraqis.

It is undoubtedly a good way to let Mithril accept the "employment" of Iraqis...
