Chapter 549: IS Hiding Soldiers in the People

"The main force of the Marin Division has entered Tikrit. The urban combat has not encountered much resistance from the Islamic State forces. The battle is expected to be completely over tomorrow."

Zhao Long, who was in charge of the ground combat command, reported to Cai Ruichen.

"Is the army suffering a lot?" Cai Ruichen nodded and asked.

With an absolute advantage in intelligence and advanced weapons and equipment, attacking a city with fewer troops will naturally not cause too many casualties for the combat quality of the Red Police Corps.

However, when fighting in cities, sometimes it is impossible to take advantage of the advantages of equipment, and fighting in the air and ground will be greatly restricted in the complex building environment of the city.

"So far, we have paid thirteen casualties, and three were directly killed in battle..." Zhao Long replied immediately.

It was not zero casualties. Under the absolute advantage, Cai Ruichen was a little dissatisfied with this answer, but he was soon relieved. Compared with the battle with mutants in the wasteland, the death of three people can be said to be the slightest. casualties.

If such a number of casualties can be maintained under the next military operation in the wasteland, it can be said that there is almost no difficulty at all.

Regrettably, Cai Ruichen is also very clear that such a victory is almost impossible to face those mutants in the wasteland.

Although mutants have no weapons and equipment, they are a group of beasts without any fear, and they don't have the instinct to seek good luck and avoid evil like humans.

Often such opponents are more capable of causing casualties to the troops. Most importantly, high-level mutants are really too difficult to deal with.

Especially for those third-level mutants, the body structure and strength are no less than those of the main battle tanks, and they also have the ability to destroy the main battle tanks.

Theoretically speaking, the combat effectiveness of those mutants in the wasteland will reach a certain scale. Absolutely not weaker than the armies of various countries.

but. The battle for Tikrit is not over yet, as there is still an operation to clear the city of lurking enemies.

This kind of action will be more dangerous, even if the troops have the cooperation of military dogs. Also very vulnerable.

The current number of casualties will not be the final number of casualties. Many of the really large casualties occurred in sporadic engagements after large-scale battles.

Especially those snipers hiding in the city, this is the real danger. Once it is not found out in time,

That hurts the soldiers. Definitely more dangerous than those heavy weapons.

Cai Ruichen also has reason to be concerned. There are quite a few of the Islamic State militants in Tikrit. All hidden among those residents.

After all, many of these Islamic State militants fought guerrillas with the US military in cities back then, and they are very proficient in such skills.

These men are now in a massive army operation. Naturally, there will be no murderous intentions, but once the war is over, all the military in the city will start to rest or organize the battlefield and be on duty. That's when they make their move.

In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the US military, what Cai Ruichen has to do is to eliminate these hidden mice before the end of the war.

It's a pity that Tikrit isn't within the radius of the base, otherwise he wouldn't have such troubles.

And it is really not easy to achieve such a goal in a big city like Tikrit.

As a famous big city in Iraq and the hometown of Saddam Hussein, Tikrit has been developing well.

And the people here in Tikrit have always been the place where Saddam Hussein selected his troops. The local folk customs are very tough, and the soldiers of the Iraqi National Guard over eight floors are all from this place.

After the Iraqi National Guard was ordered to disband by Saddam Hussein, many of them lurked in this city, which became a very important area in Iraq to resist the US military at that time.

Therefore, many militants of the Islamic State are originally Tikrits, and it is difficult to screen out those obvious enemies and targets.

Even Baghdadi only has a list, not even a photo, and there are even many armed personnel from some peripheral organizations who armed themselves after entering the place.

The Tikrit war is over, and another war will soon begin. The Red Police Corps also has to face everything that the United States faced back then.

Of course, there is a big difference between the Red Police Corps and the US military, and that is the regional advantage. The Red Police Corps operates in the name of the Iraqi government army, and with the call of the elders, it can still reduce a lot of resistance.

And it also has the support of the public, which is much better than the US military back then.

However, in the overall form, only a part of the enemy was reduced, and those hidden armed personnel simply put down their weapons completely.

But there are many people who still choose to resist.

The most difficult city to recover in the entire Salahuddin Province is Tikrit. Of course, as long as the occupation of this city is successfully completed, there will be no force in the entire Salahuddin Province that can resist the recovery here.

At the same time, once the military formation of Tikrit is completed and the occupation of the city is completed, the main force will immediately leave Tikrit and enter other cities in Salahuddin Province.

Therefore, Cai Ruichen also considered whether to let the sniper brigade be responsible for clearing out the enemies in Tikrit. After all, the best way to counter sniper in the city is to use snipers to fight back.

It is still very advantageous to cooperate with military dogs and terrorist robots.

"Let Tang Zu look over here." Cai Ruichen thought for a while and said to Zhao Long.

"Then, Commander, do you intend to let Old Tang take charge of the clean-up work after the Tikrit war?" Zhao Long didn't contact him right away, but asked.

"Is there a better way than this?" Cai Ruichen asked.

"Facing the situation where the enemy is in the dark, this is the only good way. However, this kind of confrontation takes too long. If the opponent keeps lurking, it will be a big hidden danger." Zhao Long said.

This made Cai Ruichen come to his senses, if those lurking people had been lurking all the time, no matter how many snipers were dispatched, it would have no effect.

After all, snipers can't tell who is a latent member of the Islamic State armed forces. It is only possible to tell when the other party is about to make a move or be exposed.

Back then, the U.S. military was also unable to find a good solution because of such problems. It can only improve the bulletproof ability of the equipment on one's own soldiers, but the results show that it is of no use at all.
