They only focus on the battle ahead and don't pay attention to the rear. Even if some portable air defense missiles are left behind, they can interfere with the opponent's bombing. You know, the Iranians don't have precision-guided weapons at all, and portable air defense missiles can make Iran People have to change to high-altitude bombing, and the error is very large, but this kind of low-altitude dive bombing is much more effective.

Even if the troops guarding the bridge persisted for another 10 or [-] minutes, the ending would be completely different when their own fighter jets arrived again.

President Saddam was furious when he got the news from the front line.

"This defeat was mainly due to the sudden appearance of the Iranian Tomcat fighter plane in the Bakhtaran area, engaged in engagement with the MiG-25 we were patrolling there, and shot down several bombers. However, the Iranians are very cunning After waiting for the MiG-25 to return due to insufficient fuel, a large number of aircraft groups suddenly appeared. At that time, it happened to be the neutral position of our air defense. By the time the second batch of supporting Mirage F1 fighters arrived on the battlefield, their bombing had ended Unfortunately, our ground personnel lack effective anti-aircraft firepower, and unfortunately the Iranians took advantage of it."

"God bless, I don't need any excuses!" Saddam said, "I only know the result. Today, these two important bridges have been blown up, and the retreat of our army has been cut off!"

For Adnan, Saddam has a very good relationship with him, and he rarely blames him for anything. This time, he finally got angry.

The people next to him dare not speak. They all know the president very well. If the president is angry, he will kill someone at any time.

After a long time, Rashid said: "Your Excellency, now that the bridge has been bombed, what we have to consider is what to do with the tens of thousands of troops in West Islamabad."

Having said that, Saddam came to his senses, yes, now is not the time to pursue responsibility, although he wished to execute all the soldiers guarding the bridge immediately, the most important thing now is the frontline troops!

At present, the army staying in West Islamabad, preparing for the final offensive, has two armored divisions and five infantry divisions, with a total of 7 people, especially the Medina division of the Republican Guard. There can be no mistakes!

Saddam knew very well that in a country like the Middle East, it is very important to maintain one's own rule and have a force that is absolutely loyal to oneself, such as the Medina Division, which absolutely obeys his orders.

Today, this army is in danger, which makes Saddam very distressed.Be sure to rescue them!He even regretted it a little. Why did he send this army to the battlefield? They should have stayed in Baghdad.

"These two bridges have been blown up, and we are temporarily unable to resupply our troops. Therefore, the most important method at present is to take advantage of the fact that the Iranian army has not yet reinforced Bakhtaran, and our air force has cleared away the advancing forces." Immediately let the troops go out and take Bakhtaran before our fuel and ammunition are exhausted," Adnan said.

Although the battle ahead has been defeated, Adnan is still relatively clear-headed. Now that the bridge has been bombed, it will not be repaired in a short time. The only option is to take Bakhtaran before they are hungry. When it comes, drill into the comfortable city.

West Islamabad is relatively small and cannot accommodate their troops.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, President Saddam, who had been looking at the map all the time, said: "No, let the Medina division go north to Karland."

As soon as Adnan heard it, he knew what the president meant. Alas, this man, who doesn't understand military affairs, always kills his own army like this!

The others also heard what the president meant, but none of them dared to say anything.

Saddam Hussein is very capable and skilled in politics. Under his rule, Iraq has become stronger. However, when it comes to military affairs, Saddam himself is not very clever. However, this person always likes to be specific Action dictates.His behavior style is very similar to the guy with the moustache in Europe and the guy in the East who always scolded Xipi a few decades ago.

When encountering risks, he always likes to pull his direct line aside.

Now, the battle situation is beginning to be unfavorable. Saddam did not think about how to make these troops work together to overcome difficulties, take Bakhtaran, and get a place to spend the winter. Instead, he wanted the most powerful Medina division to retreat!

Where is Callander?In the northwest of West Islamabad, follow this route, and then go northwest, and you will retreat to Iraq!

However, this route is not so easy to go. Many places cannot even allow the 72-ton T-[-] tanks equipped by Iraq to pass through. This is why they did not choose this route when they first marched.

As soon as the Medina division retreated, the other troops lost their morale, so how could they attack the city?

"Your Excellency, this road is impassable for T-72 tanks. Our troops can take Bakhtaran completely. We can send infantry divisions to take this route," Adnan said.

"No, the Medina Division undertakes this combat mission. At the same time, other troops will immediately move eastward and take down Bakhtaran!" Saddam said firmly.

Just a few hours after the bridge was bombed, Zhang Feng was in the Southern Military Region and got the news of this air battle. In the equipment of the Iranian Air Force, Phoenix missiles appeared again!

Chapter 351 The Countermeasures of the Southern Military Region

When he heard the news, Zhang Feng's first reaction was, this is absolutely impossible!The second reaction is still, it is impossible!

But then, Zhang Feng thought of the attitude of the Americans, and thought that the production line was built quickly, and he wanted to provide himself with F-20 fighter jets that could fly into the sky immediately. Zhang Feng immediately thought of that terrible possibility. , which should be true.

Americans really dare to do such a stupid thing, and this is not the first time.

Zhang Feng immediately called Yurid over.

"Recently, are there any clues about the secret arms deals between the Iranians and the Americans?" Zhang Feng asked.

"No, we have been observing, especially Israel, that it is absolutely impossible to smuggle weapons," Urid said.

Since learning of the Iranian conspiracy from His Excellency Qusay, the Mesiha Bureau has devoted a lot of energy to paying attention to this aspect. If the Iranians really got weapons from the Americans, it will definitely be a big problem for Iraq. It is a disaster, so Yurid attaches great importance to it, but so far, there is no news about it.

"I think we may have missed something," Zhang Feng said: "The Iranians used four phoenixes in an air battle. His stockpile has long been exhausted, and there has also been an unprecedented large-scale bombing. If there is no new source of weapons, do they want to use them all at once?"

Zhang Feng believes in Yourid and the Messiah Bureau, but sometimes, things are not based on his will. Zhang Feng knows that the god of luck cannot stay by his side forever, using an old saying , It's the turn of Feng Shui!

Looking at the large-scale map on the wall, Zhang Feng looked at the whole picture of Iran, and his eyes gradually narrowed. Iran's territory is too wide, and he can't take care of it at all. For example, the southeast side has reached the periphery of the Persian Gulf. , Iranians want to smuggle weapons, there are many ways, for example, from the Arabian Sea!

The hostage problem in Iran has not yet been resolved, but they have released some of the hostages, which shows that a batch of weapons has been shipped to Iran, otherwise, how could the Iranian Air Force be so confident.

And the United States must not be reconciled to being ripped off by Khomeini, so it turned to support itself in this way and behaved so "generously".

Since you want to send weapons to the Iranians in exchange for those American citizens, and do such a thing that hurts Iraq, then I will definitely not be polite!Zhang Feng made up his mind.

The worst thing has already happened. Since Zhang Feng cannot avoid it, he must try to resolve this incident and turn it into his own advantage.

If you want to exchange weapons for hostages, then I will make it impossible for you to do so!If you have to support me, then I will let you support me even more!Zhang Feng already had a complete idea in his heart.

"Yourid, let your intelligence personnel pay close attention to the hostage incident in Iran. When those hijackers release the hostages again, it is our time!" Zhang Feng said.

Yurid said calmly: "Yes."

Looking at the back of Yourid leaving, Zhang Feng was very satisfied with this right-hand assistant, calm, calm, and didn't ask too many questions. Although he made a mistake this time, he can't be blamed, even if it is the KGB. powerful.

"Dr. Kashin, please come." Zhang Feng and the secretary said.

The Americans actually exchanged weapons for hostages, so they had to be more ruthless!

Two hours later, Kashin arrived from Zubayr.

"Dr. Kashin, you have worked hard." Zhang Feng said.

"Your Excellency Qu Sai called me over in such a hurry, is there something urgent?" Kashin asked.He was quite puzzled, but the mission given to him by the company was to fully cooperate with His Excellency Qusay, otherwise, he would not have been so active.

"Yes." Zhang Feng said: "The eight F-20s that have been assembled on your company's production line mentioned last time, I hope your company can ship them to me immediately."

immediately?Kashin said: "I will contact the company to remove the wings and put them in a transport plane, which can be shipped within 24 hours."

"That's the best." Zhang Feng said.

Although fighter jets can fly by themselves, the range is definitely not enough to cross the ocean. It is also very common to use transport aircraft to transport fighter jets, but because of volume limitations, the wings need to be removed.

"May I ask, why do you need this kind of fighter so urgently?" Kashin was very puzzled. After he proposed it on the production line last time, although His Excellency Qusay was very interested, he didn't immediately make a decision.

A mature salesman would never say such a thing, but it's a pity that Kashin doesn't have so many thoughts in his mind.

After he finished asking, he saw His Excellency Qusay showing a very sad and indignant expression, and said: "Maybe you don't know yet, the Iranian Air Force that has been paralyzed has regained its strong combat effectiveness, and they have begun to attack frequently. Launch an attack, and today, all three of our bombers were shot down by the Iranian Air Force with phoenixes!"

Phoenix?Kashin was also very familiar with this aspect, and immediately said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"I hope so too, but it is indeed true, so, in order to restrain the Iranian Air Force, we need more F-20 fighters, in addition to urgently importing eight more fighters from your country, the ones on our own production line Planes need to be speeded up, because the fighter jets of your country are the most advanced fighter jets equipped in the Iraqi Air Force." Zhang Feng said.
