Time Travel 04: I Fight the US in the Middle East

Baghdad, within the Green Zone.

"General, breaking news! A large number of pickup trucks have emerged from Sadr City, loaded with armed personnel!"

Hearing Bruce's words, Major General Cardo Sanchez beamed with pride: "Good, good, well done! The 1st Cavalry Division lost a battalion and still couldn't deal with the Mahdi army in Sadr City. Now, we've only used a little trick, and the Mahdi army has left Sadr City! Oh, and remove all the checkpoints!"

"yes!"

Just then, a voice rang out from outside: "General Kado, the capture of Muqtada-Sadr also owes a debt to our First Cavalry Division. Our First Cavalry Division also played a part in annihilating the Mahdi army in Sadr City!"

With the sound, Major General Peter Ziarelli rushed in like a gust of wind.

Because of what happened last time, he didn't want to see Cardo Sanchez anymore, but after hearing about the trap set by the 1st Armored Division, he still rushed over!

"You're involved? How many troops do you still have in Baghdad? Can you set up an encirclement? Even the helicopters... you've moved them all to Najaf, haven't you? The battle was fought by our 1st Armored Division, how can the credit be given to your 1st Cavalry Division?"

"But……"

"Alright, enough with the butts. Your 1st Cavalry Division should go ahead and attack Najaf. It's leaderless there, so it'll be easy to take. That'll be your achievement! Our 1st Armored Division won't compete with you for it!"

Major General Peter Ziarelli's face darkened. "Are you playing us?"

Seeing that the 1st Armored Division was advancing rapidly towards Najaf, the 1st Cavalry Division also mobilized nearby troops to the area.

result……

Once Muqtada al-Sadr was captured, the 1st Armored Division withdrew! Only the 1st Cavalry Division remained, foolishly fighting on!

Upon discovering that their leader had been captured, Najaf's Mahdi army went berserk, with many resorting to reckless tactics!

Their 1st Cavalry Division suffered heavy losses, and as for taking Najaf... it's unknown how much they'll have to pay.

The 1st Cavalry Division was exploited by the 1st Armored Division!

We do all the hard and tiring work, and you guys are just here to reap the rewards.

"Reporting to the commander, a portion of the Mahdi army disappeared after leaving Sadr City!" Just then, new information arrived.

Major General Kado Sanchez chuckled. "They must have escaped! After all, with Muqtada al-Sadr captured, they lost their leader and were just a rabble to begin with... Ignore the escapees, monitor those heading to Abu Ghraib prison!"

Abu Ghraib prison, located 32 kilometers west of Baghdad, was a notorious prison during Saddam Hussein's time, mainly holding political prisoners. After the US military took over in 2003, it was used to hold Iraqi prisoners of war and suspected anti-American individuals.

In fact, Muqtada al-Sadr is still being held in the Green Zone, but this news cannot be released. If those crazy guys really break into the Green Zone, there will be no sense of security at all!

Therefore, the ambush site was chosen to be Abu Ghraib prison, and the outside news also indicated that Muqtada al-Sadr was being held in this prison!

An armored battalion from the 1st Armored Division, which had rushed back from Najaf, was lying in ambush there. Once the Mahdi Army appeared, they would completely surround them! With the addition of helicopters in the air, they could annihilate these guys!

Everything is under control!

At this moment, several pickup trucks, acting alone, drove through narrow alleys. After making sure no one was following them, Azam pulled out a small drone from the back of the truck bed.

The multi-rotor drones of later generations were not yet in mass production, and the military used fixed-wing drones. The one I have looks similar to a model airplane.

It has a round, bulging nose, with wings on top and dihedrals, a propeller engine at the back, and a rod at the bottom leading directly to the tail, with a normal vertical and horizontal stabilizer.

The RQ-11, nicknamed Raven, is a hand-launched lightweight unmanned aerial vehicle manufactured by AeroVironment. It entered production in 2002 and is primarily used for low-altitude battlefield reconnaissance, surveillance, and target identification.

During the Iraq War in 2003, this type of aircraft was widely used by the US military and equipped at the platoon level.

Therefore, after eliminating the American troops who entered Sadr City, we also obtained a batch of Raven drones. Now, when we leave Sadr City to fight outside, we will rely on them as our eyes!

He closed the switch, the propellers spun, lifting the drone up. Using the momentum of the moving vehicle, Azam threw the drone out.

Whoosh!

The 1.9-kilogram drone successfully took off and flew forward!

On the bus, everyone else stared wide-eyed, their eyes filled with disbelief!

Azam is amazing! He can even operate US military drones! That's some of the most advanced stuff!

Azam sat back in the truck bed and turned on the ground control unit. At that moment, the small screen was displaying live video footage taken by the camera on the drone.

"Great! With this, we'll have the eyes of an eagle!" Ali-Achim exclaimed excitedly.

"It's okay to use it occasionally, but not frequently," Azam said.

These words were like a bucket of cold water, leaving everyone disappointed.

Khalil Maliki blurted out, "Why?"

"This thing belongs to the US military after all. We can't be sure if there are any backdoors inside. What if the US military can operate it from the back end and transmit location data in real time? Wouldn't we be vulnerable to precision strikes by the Americans?"

Khalil Maliki nodded: "Okay."

To live a long life, you must be skeptical of everything!

Ali-Achim's eyes lit up with anticipation again: "So, we brought these drones out this time for a special purpose?"

Azam smiled and said, "That's right, they'll be very useful and will definitely allow these drones to realize their full potential!"

"Um."

"Huh, that's strange. The US military didn't set up checkpoints at key intersections. They're really going all out to fool those idiots!"

These vehicles were driving through narrow alleys, trying to bypass the US military checkpoints, but... the US military actually removed all the checkpoints!

"Over three hundred people were fooled by Abid! These people are truly stupid!" Khalil Maliki said. "They are no longer our brothers!"

"This was all a carefully laid trap by the US military; they were doomed," Ali Achim said. "But... only in this way can all our brothers realize that if they want to win the war, they have no choice but to follow Leader Azam!"

You won't know how powerful the US military is, or how strong Azam's leadership is, until you've been battered and bruised!

At that moment, Azam, watching the video on the screen, suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Okay, found it! Mutrabi Fire Station, that's it!"
