The fire at the post made the Turkish authorities completely angry. After investigation, especially the phone calls made by the sentry before, they were finally convinced that it was the Kurdish separatist forces in the territory that had begun to revive again!

The Turkish authorities acted very quickly. On the day the outpost was attacked, they sent several divisions of troops into the area where the Kurds gathered, and began a frenzied retaliation.

Those Turks living in the mountains dared to commit such a terrorist act, which is absolutely intolerable to the zhèngfǔ!

The zhèngfǔ army dispatched to suppress it, and the Kurdistan People's Liberation Army immediately resisted, and the two sides fought together in the mountainous area.

Following Iraq, the Kurds in Turkey have also begun unrest!

No one knew that all of this was instigated by someone.

The members of the special forces who made a detour back to Duhuk Province from the small road finally let out a long sigh of relief. This is really the first time that this kind of cross-border mission has been carried out!

Marwan thought of this mission, and felt that he was becoming less and less able to see through the mind of Chief Qusay. Although this mission was completed smoothly, why did he take such an action that had nothing to do with it? Marwan Still can't figure it out.

They mingled with the fugitive Kurds, crossed into Turkish territory, disguised themselves as shepherds, attacked a hapless Turk's outpost, and fled back.

Qusay is very clear in his heart. He knows that the armed riots of the Kurds in Turkey only started in 84. However, due to his suppression, the power of the Kurds in Turkey has been greatly strengthened, so start now They were ready to move, but none of them were willing to fire the first shot.

Since they are unwilling to do it, it is up to me to help them fight for their national rights first.Anyway, they will riot sooner or later, so let's take advantage of this east wind and play the prelude to the Kurdish uprising together!

The people sent by Qusay pretended to be Kurdish guerrillas and attacked the outposts of the Turkish government. The Turks will definitely start to wipe out those Kurds who do not obey discipline. In this way, riots will start in Turkey. However, this is not the same as Iraqi what is the relationship?What is the purpose of Qusay's effort to do such an incredible and "malicious" event?

The next day, news from all over the world began to report on this big event in Turkey. The reason is very simple. Now, the Kurdish issue has received more and more attention. Since the Kurdish people in Turkey have come out to join in the fun, of course they should treat it as A headline news has arrived.

Chapter 4: Iran Purchases New Weapons

Iran, Tehran.

Khomeini is in good spirits today. Since the Iran-Iraq War, Iran has been in a weak position. After several counterattacks, instead of recovering the lost ground, it got deeper and deeper. Most of the land in the south was occupied. Even Khomeini The port of Nigeria was taken away by the Iraqis, and in the north, the Iraqi army went deep into the Iranian plateau, occupied Bakhtaland, and pointed directly at Tehran.

Under such circumstances, the upper and lower ranks of Iran have a feeling of being out of breath. They seem to be strangled by an invisible rope, unable to breathe, waiting for the arrival of death.

Iran's various weapons, the once powerful Tomcat fighter, the Chieftain main battle tank, etc., the losses in the battle plus the losses caused by the shortage of parts have made the powerful Iranian army show signs of fatigue.

Iran has also done this kind of thing, using human lives to fill holes in the front line and step on minefields, but with little success.

Weapons are needed to fight a war. The Iranians who have been choked by the Western countries will naturally not be willing to fail. They set their sights on the big country in the East.

Khomeini knew that if he wanted to defeat an increasingly powerful Iraq, then he must have weapons!There must be a large number of weapons that can be used for consumption!

Therefore, Iran secretly contacted that country in the east, and through an agreement, purchased a large amount of weapons.

The most important of these is the 7 J-21 fighter jets, which came from the fact that the Iranian Air Force discovered the MiG-14 of the Iraqi Air Force when they were fighting with the Iraqi Air Force. It is also a very difficult enemy, small and flexible , sometimes, even the F-[-] can't take much advantage.

Therefore, the Iranian Air Force is full of confidence in the J-21 fighter improved from the MiG-7. Up to now, more than 30 fighters of this kind have been delivered.

When the Iranian Air Force changed to fly this kind of fighter, it discovered that the air-to-air missiles that were equipped with it were really bad. Therefore, the Iranian ground crew creatively installed the US-made Sidewinder missiles on this fighter.

Although the United States has imposed a blockade, few Phoenix missiles can be used normally. However, there are medium-range Sparrow missiles and short-range Sidewinder missiles. Iran has more stocks. Moreover, Phoenix cannot be imported from abroad, but Sidewinder missiles There is a way to smuggle missiles from Israel, and there is no shortage of such missiles in Iran.

Due to the blockade by the United States for several years, the Iranian ground crews are already very skilled, and they have figured out the controlled launch of the Sidewinder missile, and successfully modified it to the J-7 fighter.

With this batch of J-7 fighters, the Iranian Air Force has regained its vitality.

Normal re-flying training takes several years, but in war, all procedures will be simplified.The Iranian Air Force with a tough style started to fly solo after getting familiar with the cockpit instruments. After flying a few sorties, it can perform combat missions.

In addition to the J-7 fighter jets, more than 200 Type 69 tanks have also joined the Iranian Army. In the past few months, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has newly formed several infantry divisions and armored regiments. The 69 tanks from China, Although it does not have the fierce firepower and precise aiming of the Chieftain tank, it is at best an order of magnitude as the M60, but as the war progresses, skilled tankers consume a lot. This simple, durable 69 tank is more suitable for the current situation. Iranian army.

Along with the 69 tanks and more than 300 Type 63 armored vehicles, they were also shipped to Iran. With this batch of equipment, the offensive capabilities of the Iranian army have been greatly enhanced.

In addition to aircraft and tanks, Iran is still negotiating to introduce a batch of C601 anti-ship missiles and Hongqi-2 surface-to-air missiles. With C601 anti-ship missiles, they can block the entire Persian Gulf when they are deployed at the mouth of the Persian Gulf.

In Khomeini's mind, there is already a bold plan gradually taking shape.

The reason why Iraq was able to change equipment so quickly and import a large number of weapons was because Iraq occupied the oil-producing province in the southwestern part of Iran and also occupied the chemical center of Abadan.

Now Iraq's financial sources are all based on intercepting Iran's underground oil resources!Khomeini has long been brooding over this matter. He has been thinking about taking back the southern region all day long. At the same time, he is also planning for the worst. If the army loses, then he will not hesitate. Use missiles to attack the tankers carrying Iraqi crude oil entering the Persian Gulf!No matter which country it is from, as long as it is stealing and selling Iranian crude oil, it is Iran's enemy!

The Red Flag 2 surface-to-air missile is to consolidate Iran's sky. Due to the gradual lack of fighter planes, Iran's air force is stretched to deal with the Iraqi planes in the sky. The only few most powerful Tomcats are consumed by frequent landings. Valuable spare parts.In particular, the MiG-25 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft of the Iraqi Air Force often flies in the sky of Iran. The Red Flag-2 missile is a very good choice for the MiG-25 flying at high altitude and high speed.

As for ordinary light weapons, Type 54 machine guns, Type 56 automatic rifles, a large number of bullets, and rocket launchers have been introduced.Discovering that weapons can be obtained from the East, Iran immediately opened its arms and bought a lot of things.

Now, Khomeini is inspecting the newly formed tank unit.

Seeing the great leader Khomeini came to inspect, the tankers were very happy. They puffed out their chests and saluted the great leader.

Khomeini returned the salute with a smile, looked at a tanker, and said, "Soldier, how old are you this year?"

The tanker was very excited: "Report, I am 17 years old!"

"Yes, at the age of 17, he has already become an excellent soldier of the Republican Guard." Khomeini said, "Are you satisfied with the chariot you are driving?"

"Report, our tanks are the most powerful. We will drive tanks to break through the Iraqi line of defense and liberate our lost ground. We will also drive tanks to fight to Baghdad!"

"That's right!" Khomeini said loudly, "Iran is a great country. Our country has suffered shameful aggression from the Iraqis. However, we will never surrender. We will definitely regain our land. We will make Saddam taste our strength! Long live the great Iran!"

"Long live!" Countless people shouted.

After leaving the training ground, in the headquarters, Khomeini said to Muhsin, the captain of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps who followed him, "Why do we only recruit young people under the age of 20?"

Although encouraging young people to step on landmines on the front line, Khomeini also knew that a regular army needs young people around the age of 20, who are motivated and not impulsive, and the age of those soldiers is still a bit young.

"Our Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is an army that is absolutely loyal to the leader. When we select it, we first select it according to its loyalty. Therefore, although they are still a little young, they are definitely the most loyal one." This force is something we can use with confidence," Muhsin said.

"How is the training of our troops? Are they ready for use?" Khomeini asked.

"It's absolutely possible!" Muhsin was very happy when he heard that, after a few months of rest, he was finally able to beat up the Iraqis again.

"The political situation in Iraq is now chaotic, and most of the forces are encircling and suppressing the Kurdish uprising. Some troops have been mobilized in various directions. Therefore, we can take the initiative to attack now and take back our lost ground!" Huo Meny said.

"Yes, the leader is wise." Muhsin said, "Our Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps can fully undertake various combat tasks assigned by the leader!"

Khomeini looked out the window, and those fighters who were actively training on the training ground were full of confidence.

Iran can't afford to lose anymore. The situation in Iran is very troublesome now. Due to the loss of the big oil-producing province in the south and the sanctions of the international community, Iran is in a very difficult situation. Soldiers are born to fight, but they always lose , The blow to Iran's morale is great, they must have a victory to prove that Iran is invincible!

Therefore, Khomeini did not hesitate to vigorously arm the Kurds and openly hostile to the Iraqi government. In this way, Iraq had to mobilize troops to counter the rebellion. For Iran, this was a very rare opportunity.

Iran's success or failure depends on this.

"Where do we want to start the counterattack?" Muhsin asked, "If we want to attack Khomeini Port, we are willing to be the main force in the first wave of attack, and we must take the port back."

"No, we should start with Bakhtaran first." Rafsanjani, chairman of the Iranian Combat Council who followed him, said: "At present, our biggest threat is this force. If we don't drive them back, our Tehran, There is always danger."

"The Iraqis in the northern mountainous area are not used to it. Their ability to reach Bakhtaran is already the limit. Their logistics is very tight and they are unable to attack at all, while the south is our foundation." Mohsen retorted.
