Chapter 554: Invasion of Kuwait

No one would have thought that Saddam would take action. As brothers of MSL, other Arab countries helped Iraq a lot during the Iran-Iraq War, including Kuwait, which provided Iraq with $10 billion in funds. However, Saddam still took action. Objectively, many reasons can be found. Kuwait maliciously exploited Iraq's oil, and Kuwait and other countries maliciously increased oil production, causing the world oil price to fall. However, the most critical factor was Saddam's great Arab thought. In his eyes, oil wealth is the wealth bestowed by the true God to the entire Arab world, and it should not be owned by a few royal families. Oil-rich countries have a per capita income of tens of thousands of dollars, while oil-deficient countries are burdened with heavy foreign debts. This is extremely unreasonable. He hopes that oil-rich countries will take out the hundreds of billions of US dollars in reserves stored in the Western world and invest them in the Arab world to help the Arab world revive.

All these are irreconcilable contradictions, and there is only one way to resolve them, and that is war!

Through the war, Saddam tasted the sweetness, he successfully defeated his old enemy Iran! Iran's export of revolution has become a joke, and now, through the war, Saddam has a more powerful army!

Iraq, Southern Military Region.

Tanks were constantly moving towards the south, and the entire tank was painted in desert camouflage to reduce the probability of being discovered by reconnaissance satellites.

At this time, it was already evening, and the temperature in the entire desert area was still over 40 degrees. The air conditioning in the tank was not very effective, and it was still extremely hot and stuffy.

He opened the hatch and pulled out his fat body. Armored Ali held a telescope and looked into the distance.

They have reached the border with Kuwait, but there is still no response from the other side. Kuwait has never thought of solving problems through war because their military force has always been very weak!

The heat waves continued to come, and sweat kept dripping down from Armored Ali's forehead. He looked back and saw that the army was moving quickly towards him.

In the last Iran War, Armored Ali stood out. Among all the armored units, his troops were the fastest. After a long march, they almost reached Tehran. And when retreating, they kept covering the rear and saving the precarious front line. Therefore, after the end of the Iran War, Armored Ali was promoted and became the commander of the Hammurabi Division!

At this time, the Hammurabi Division has completely reached the border, and they will be the first wave of troops to rush into Kuwait!

Historically, Hammurabi was the sixth king of the Amorite Babylonian Kingdom. In a series of wars, he defeated neighboring countries and expanded Babylon's ruling area to the entire Mesopotamian region, including Mesopotamia, thus becoming the first king of the Babylonian Empire.

And now, Division Hammurabi will repeat the glory of that year!

Time passed little by little, and with the arrival of night, the desert began to become gradually cooler.

"Baghdad's order, the True God's Punishment Operation begins immediately!" Ali received the order on the radio and immediately conveyed it to the entire army: "Hammurabi Division, move out immediately!"

The diesel engine at the rear roared, and in the black smoke, the tracks stirred up the sand in the desert, raising it more than two meters high. Ali's tank took the lead and rushed across the border!

"Left front, get on the highway!" Ali ordered his driver.

If you are facing a battle at any time, taking the highway is undoubtedly a dangerous road. You may be intercepted by the enemy at any time, and the long snake formation of the army is easy to be attacked.

However, facing the weak Kuwaiti army, there is no need to worry about anything. They now need to rush to Kuwait City as quickly as possible and capture the Kuwaiti royal family! Only by completely controlling the Kuwaiti royal family can the Kuwaiti war end beautifully. As long as the Kuwaiti royal family signs the surrender and joins Iraq, other countries will have nothing to say.

Even if one royal family member escapes and a group of "patriots" gather outside, the situation will become complicated.

The highway in Kuwait is very smooth! Once on the highway, Ali felt much more comfortable. The tank was driving as smoothly as a luxury car.

The tracks were not rubber-covered, and the steel tracks instantly pressed the ground into spots. As more and more tanks came up, the highway finally began to become bumpy.

Armored Ali doesn't care about that, he only has one mission!

At the same time, fighter planes in Iraq also began to take off, their targets were two air force bases in Kuwait, the Ahmed-Jaber base near the civil airport would be occupied by Iraqi paratroopers, and the Ali-Salem base near the Saudi border would be heavily bombed, and then the Iraqi Mi-24 helicopters would land at the base.

Ali didn't care about these, he needed to get to Kuwait City as quickly as possible!

After racing in the desert for more than an hour, the modern city appeared in front of Ali. Kuwait City had arrived!

At this moment, several Kuwaiti tanks were discovered in front, American-made M60A1 tanks!

"Armor-piercing bullets, fire!" Ali shouted. Although he was the division commander, his tank was the first to rush in. Now, after discovering the Kuwaiti tanks, he was also the first to open fire!

The T-72 tank stopped, and then with a bang, a 125mm armor-piercing shell flew over!

Iraq invaded Kuwait! When the news reached Kuwait, everyone was very surprised, and many people didn't know what happened.

These tanks were hastily transferred from a nearby unit to protect Kuwait, but they were completely unprepared. For example, there were only five training shells in the tanks, not even any actual combat shells!

In a daze, they saw the tank troops coming from the front. Before they could react, they felt the body of the vehicle tremble. Then, with a bang, the tank was pierced. The violent explosion killed them instantly.

Yes, Ali was very satisfied with the training level of his tank troops. Although the T-72 had the ability to shoot while moving, in pursuit of accuracy, they basically still adopted the method of stopping and firing. Moreover, in the dark, they used night vision goggles to attack at a distance of 500 meters, which was very fierce.

A few shots killed the Kuwaiti army that blocked their way, and they continued to rush into Kuwait City!

Behind them, a rolling armored torrent, in addition to main battle tanks, there were also infantry fighting vehicles, carrying a large number of infantry into Kuwait City. The vanguard troops had already entered Kuwait City, and the troops in the rear even extended into Iraq!

100,000 troops, with Iraq's will and determination, march towards Kuwait!
