"It is very easy for their air force to fly in, but it is very difficult for their ground forces to attack, because the attack of their armored forces requires a lot of logistical consumption, and Iraq is simply unable to continue to attack now." Muhe Xin said.

"Their logistics consumption is very large, but they have already occupied our Hamadan and other places. They don't have to transport supplies, food and other materials from the rear. They can supply supplies nearby. We must not treat them with conventional thinking. The Iraqis on the opposite side, because their commander is Qusay-Abdullah!"

The Prime Minister's words seemed to be a blow to the head, and everyone woke up. They already knew that the power in Iraq is currently controlled by this devil, including commanding the offensive of the northern army.

5Chapter 17 Iraq's target is not Tehran

At the beginning of the Iran-Iraq War, under the command of President Saddam Hussein, although Iran was caught off guard and invaded the mainland, they made the invading Iraqi army pay a heavy price, and, in terms of strategic situation, gradually became Good for Iran.

Until Qusay-Abdullah arrived in the southern military region, the situation of the war changed. Since then, Iran has hardly had a good day.

Now, several provinces in the south and north of Iran have been defeated by silkworms. Although they are full of confidence in Iran on the surface and believe that they will definitely defeat the invaders, in their hearts, I am afraid that only they know what they think.

What's more, the high-level Iranians now hold military power, but they don't understand military affairs. Those who have received higher education from Western military academies can be released from prison. Pointing fingers.

At this time, the Prime Minister, who was born as a civil servant, saw it more clearly. How could Iraq be so aggressive this time, how could it be possible to just throw a few bombs and leave?

"We have already deployed a line of defense in zhōngyāng province and Qazvin province. If the Iraqis want to attack, they have to cross our line of defense first," Mohsen said.

Rafsanjani knows that now, the Iraqi army has crossed the Iranian plateau. In order to prevent the Iraqi army from continuing to attack, the second-line reserve team has set up a line of defense in Zhōngyāng Province and Qazvin, but these people are poorly equipped and cannot Without training, it is purely as cannon fodder.

Because there are not many regular Iranian troops, they cannot attack and must stay in the urban area of ​​Tehran, because although these high-level Iranian personnel have insufficient command experience, they have already experienced these wars after all, and they know that their current troops are out. The urban area of ​​Tehran, then, is simply unable to withstand the attack of the Iraqi armored forces. They can only rely on the urban area of ​​Tehran to carry out street fighting with the Iraqi army. Even if Tehran still falls in the end, they will definitely kill and wound Iraqi soldiers in large numbers, so that they can play a role , Just like the Battle of Khorramshahr in 81, after that, the Iraqi army never dared to take the risk of entering Abadan for fear of suffering the same loss.

Let Tehran become the second Khorramshahr, and let the blood of Iraqis pay homage to the great Iran!

While senior Iranian officials were discussing the reasons for the sudden attack in Iraq, there was a change on the front line.

North of Hamadan, Razan, an Iraqi decoy force, has begun their sortie.

This is a mechanized infantry battalion equipped with dozens of Type 63 infantry fighting vehicles and several Type 69 tanks. They showed their teeth towards the Iranian defense line.

Before Iran's second-line troops could react, they had already rushed to the Iranian defense line, tore the infantry of several companies guarding there into pieces, and then continued to move towards Tehran.

The Iranian army has no decent resistance at all, and their fighting qualities are too poor.

This army, without a doubt, is definitely coming towards Tehran!

Due to the darkness, the surviving Iranian soldiers did not see clearly how many troops broke through their own defense line. They only knew that the chariots were rumbling and they were attacked by the Iraqis.

The intelligence was quickly passed upwards, reaching Tehran.

Just finished the meeting and reached a preliminary consensus to pay close attention to the movement of the Iraqi army and mobilize all the troops in Tehran at any time to prepare for the subsequent street fighting. They even passed a resolution to issue weapons to citizens and call on them to come together to resist Iraq human aggression.

Because of today's situation, Rafsanjani decided to transfer the special group of troops, that is, the Jewish instructors, to the rear.

"Instructor Odo, thank you for your help during this period of time." Rafsanjani said: "Now, the Iraqi army shows signs of marching towards Tehran. For your safety, please ask your instructor team, Retreat to Yazd in the rear."

"Mr. Chairman." Odo said: "Now, Tehran is facing danger. Although we are a volunteer army, we are willing to fight with you. Moreover, having our instructors around can make our soldiers more flexible in fighting. We are willing to fight with you." Contribute your part to your just war."

If Odo's words were heard by a young Iranian, he might be very moved. However, for Rafsanjani, who has already experienced countless things, he knows what the other party is planning.

If they are allowed to train the army, there is a risk that the army will be controlled by them. Now, in the street fighting in Tehran that may come later, if they are allowed to continue to command the army, then no matter what the final battle is, for the Tehran government. It is a very dangerous behavior.

As a qualified politician, you must see farther than others.

"Last time, because your country's aid to weapons was discovered, your high-level leaders were greatly affected. Now, if you participate in the street fighting in Tehran, then if you are discovered by the Iraqis, your high-level leaders will still be in big trouble. Although You came here in the form of volunteers, and I am afraid it will have a bad impact on your country internationally." Rafsanjani said: "Moreover, the training of the newly formed six infantry divisions in Yazd The task is even more arduous, and they will take on the heavy responsibility of counterattacking in the future."

Rafsanjani graciously rejected the other party's offer, and Odo was not dissatisfied, but said: "This Iraqi attack is a bit weird. I hope you can keep your eyes open. The real target of Iraq's attack may not be Tehran."

Rafsanjani's heart tightened. In fact, this idea has been circling in his mind for a long time. No matter how well prepared Iraq is, they will know that now that they have deployed a lot of troops in Tehran, the other side wants to take Tehran. , need to pay the price of a lot of casualties.

However, if the target of the Iraqis is not here, then all their current military plans and combat plans will be useless.

Apart from here, there is only one other place worthy of a large-scale attack by the Iraqis, the city in the desert 130 kilometers south of Tehran that is more important to Iran!

Rafsanjani just had a feeling in his heart. Even as the almost highest leader of Iran, he didn't dare to think about how courageous Iraq is to attack that place.

However, now it seems that Iraq really has this possibility. Now, there is nothing that the young man named Qusay dare not do. Doesn’t he know that it will arouse the public indignation of the entire Iranian people?Or does he not care at all, because he already has that ability?

Compared to Tehran, that city is almost undefended, with no armed force except for an infantry battalion guarding the perimeter there.

It seems that it is time to send troops to strengthen the defense there. Even if the Revolutionary Guards are transferred from Tehran, the security there must be protected. The Supreme Spiritual Leader is still there.

"No matter where the real purpose of the Iraqis' attack is, we will strictly defend and completely defeat the Iraqi conspiracy. This place is like Moscow in World War II, and it will become a turning point in our great war." Rafsanjani Said.

After sending the Jews away, Rafsanjani received amazing news: the Iraqi army had already started attacking at night, and they had crossed the defensive line arranged on the periphery and were heading towards Tehran!

If it weren't for the conversation with Odo just now, Rafsanjani might have ordered the army to prepare for street fighting in Tehran, but now his mind is calmer.

"How many troops did they come in total? How many armored vehicles?" Rafsanjani asked.

"The exact number is being counted." However, the several companies we deployed on that line of defense have already suffered heavy casualties. "

Only a few companies died, so shocked, and reported to myself!Rafsanjani was a little angry, but suddenly, he thought of another situation that made him suspicious.

If the Iraqi army is really preparing to attack Tehran, then it will definitely break through on several lines of defense at the same time. How can there be only a few companies with their own casualties?This is clearly a small force of the Iraqis, definitely not their main force.

From the complicated battle situation, Rafsanjani was carefully sorting out his thoughts, and at the same time, his mind became clearer and clearer.

Until now, these actions in Iraq are just feints, and their real target is definitely not Tehran!

It seemed that I really underestimated Qu Sai's courage.

"Order the air force to take off the reconnaissance plane immediately, and focus on investigating whether there are any signs of large-scale deployment of the Iraqi armored forces at the junction of the western part of Zhōngyāng Province and Hamadan."

"Report, the airport has been bombed today and is currently being repaired."

The Iraqis destroyed their own airport, probably for this purpose!

"Then take off the helicopter and conduct an immediate investigation. At the same time, let the army stationed in Zhongyāng province immediately send scouts to check the situation on the route from Hamadan to Qom." Rafsanjani's expression was a little scary.

In the darkness, the movements of the feinting mobile battalion slowed down, and after advancing fifty kilometers, they almost stopped.

At the same time, in the dark night, another main attacking force, the powerful Iraqi armored force, the 72th Armored Division with T-[-] as the main combat equipment, started another long-distance raid of theirs.

Lifting off the camouflage net covered, the [-]th Armored Division quietly marched towards the southeast from the gap opened by the Mechanized Battalion.

Chapter 548 The Reinforcements Are Dispatched

Under the silent night, everything is quiet, only a few stars in the sky twinkle and shine, the night wind blows, and the branches and leaves dance with the wind on the withered grass.

Suddenly, there was a ground vibration from a distance, and this vibration became more and more intense and frightening.The vole on the field, which has already dug a hole and is preparing for the winter, pokes its head out of the hole again uneasily. In its small eyes, it sees a scene that it will never forget.

Countless behemoths are approaching rumblingly, and those are all steel monsters, as if they could be stepped on at any time.

It tried to escape feebly, but unfortunately, it was run over by a track and stuck to the soil on the ground.

All the assault forces of the [-]th Armored Division are advancing rapidly in battle formation.
