Chapter 726: Ending in Vain

At the beginning, the Kurds were encouraged by the Americans to help the Americans in order to break away from the control of the Iraqi government. The Americans came from Türkiye and marched all the way to Baghdad.

Once, victory was so close to them! The Americans occupied Baghdad and ended Saddam's rule. The Kurds will be independent in northern Iraq. In fact, they don't need independence anymore. The United States needs a new puppet government to control Iraq, and the Kurds are the best choice!

However, this ultimately came to nothing. Unrest suddenly broke out in Turkey, causing problems with the U.S. logistical supply. Eventually, when the Syrian army entered Turkish territory, the U.S. military's supply was completely cut off. The final actions of the U.S. military made the Kurds feel disappointed, and they surrendered!

For various reasons, the Iraqis did not make things difficult for the surrendered American troops. After reaching an agreement with the United States, these American troops were sent back to the United States.

For any leader, enemies can be forgiven and exchange terms can be reached, but they will never be lenient towards traitors within their own ranks!

The US is gone, and the Kurds' last backer is gone! The Kurds have no way out, they will be ruthlessly wiped out by the Iraqi government!

They did not compromise, they continued to fight! Northern Iraq is all mountainous, which is not suitable for large-scale military operations, but the Kurds can calmly launch guerrilla warfare! Although their hope of winning is slim, it is also very difficult for the Iraqi government to eliminate them!

A valley near the town of Nineveh, north of Mosul.

There are mountains with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters on both sides, and the valley in the middle is the only passage leading to Dahuk in the north. Now, on both sides of the mountain, hundreds of armed members of the Kurdish Democratic Party wearing scarves are waiting in full battle array.

They received news that today, a small team of about fifty Iraqi troops would pass through here and go to a nearby small village to "suppress the rebellion." There was intelligence there that they specifically leaked to the Iraqis. A dozen Kurdish militiamen were resting in the village.

Commander Ali, holding his AkM assault rifle, stared at the valley below, and next to him was a 12.7mm heavy machine gun. These weapons can be effectively used to deal with Iraqi armored vehicles, and their key is to fight quickly and decisively, to kill the Iraqi army before the Iraqi armed helicopters arrive, and then retreat quickly!

"Time has passed. Are the Iraqis not coming?" said Izzat, a 16-year-old Kurdish fighter next to Ali. He wore a watch on his arm, which was a trophy from the last battle.

"Yes, half an hour has passed. There is no need to wait any longer. Let's retreat!" Ali said and stood up.

At this moment, a roar was heard in the distance, and Ali quickly lay down. Oh no! It was an Iraqi attack plane!

Over the years, they have been fighting with the Iraqi government forces. They knew what was coming just by the sound. It was not the common Gazelle helicopter, but an attack aircraft!

I hope this attack plane is just passing by, and we can hide here and not expose our target!

Ali hid and looked up at the sky. Two Su-24 attack aircraft were flying over! Bombs were mounted under the wings of the two aircraft.

I hope the enemy hasn't discovered us! Looking down from the sky, this is just an ordinary mountain, nothing special.

However, as Ali watched, two Su-24 attack aircraft flew over, their wings shook, and the bombs fell.

Damn it, the news must have leaked. Look at the bomb, it's clearly flying towards us!

"Hurry, run!" After saying that, Ali left his hiding place and ran down the mountain!

"Boom!" The bomb fell from the sky, but before it hit the ground, it exploded in mid-air.

After the explosion, there was not much killing power. No one noticed that many small liquid balls flew out from the bomb. These small balls quickly vaporized in the air, and the air also slowly changed color.

As Ali ran, he felt himself out of breath and having difficulty breathing. He stopped to catch his breath, but when he turned around, he saw his subordinates, their faces purple, lying motionless on the hillside.

Poison gas bombs! The other party actually used poison gas bombs! Damn it! Ali understood something, but he had no strength left. His lungs could not breathe any oxygen, and his blood began to turn black. He breathed painfully, covering his neck and kept this posture until his brain lost consciousness due to lack of oxygen.

"Chairman, we can't stop the Iraqi attack!" In the small town of Tal Afar west of Mosul, Barzani received frustrating news.

As the leader of the Kurdish Democratic Party, Barzani has been working hard for the independence of the Kurds over the years. After his father's death, he became the head of the entire organization. His belief is very firm. But now, this ideal has been shattered.

Not only did they not get what they wanted, but now, they are being fiercely attacked by the Iraqis!

"We deployed our troops on a nearby mountain, hoping to stop a small group of Iraqis, but the Iraqis used poison gas, and all of our personnel died. In addition, several nearby villages were also affected by the poison gas, and many of our fellow tribesmen died."

Poison gas! How dare the Iraqis use such a weapon! Barzani's arms began to tremble uncontrollably.

Originally, they planned to use their geographical advantages to constantly harass and attack the Iraqi government forces, and finally make them realize that the Kurdish resistance here would not stop. Eventually, the two sides reached an agreement and let the Iraqi government acquiesce to the autonomy here.

But now, the Iraqis obviously won't agree, and they actually used poison gas! They not only used it on their own armed forces, but also on Kurdish civilians!

Can this war continue? However, we have already betrayed the Iraqi government. Even if we admit defeat to the Iraqi government, what will happen? The Iraqi government's goal is probably to completely eliminate us from the root!

"Chairman, a guest has arrived. He claims to be sent by Ocalan." At this moment, the deputy reported to him.
