From October 2016 to July 2017, the battle for Mosul lasted a full nine months.
A hundred thousand strong, comprising Iraqi anti-terrorist forces, the Police Force, tribal armed, the Kurdish Armed Forces, and, of course, the Iraqi Defense Army, fought for nine months under the support of the air force led by the United States, just to recapture Mosul.
From the air, to say that the entire city of Mosul had become ruins was an understatement; it had essentially turned into a pile of building rubble.
The helicopter slowly landed. This was neither combat nor an emergency landing, so Peter waited until the rotor had completely stopped spinning before opening the cabin door.
Gao Yi jumped out of the helicopter. He looked like an older cadre inspecting a construction site, wearing a helmet on his head, except he also wore a Bullet-Proof Vest.
A stench unique to war hit him—the smell of decaying corpses.
"Sir!"
