Qusay looked calm on the surface. At such a time, he had to act like a strategist to build confidence for the people below.

Wars and exercises are different after all, and it is impossible to develop according to one's own plan every time. In the past, Qusay relied on his familiarity with history and his foresight.But now, the situation in the Middle East has been rewritten beyond recognition by him, and those histories will no longer be rewritten.

The attack on Tehran this time was a large-scale campaign carefully planned by the entire Ministry of Defense. Although a lot of work has been done in advance, great progress has been made in actual combat. The garrison successfully parachuted paratroopers, and the zhèngfǔ building has been successfully taken down.

However, the battle in the other two directions did not go as smoothly as originally planned.Iran's Ministry of National Defense building is a tough one. Although two-thirds of the airborne third battalion was transferred to attack the Ministry of Defense, plus the Crescent Special Forces and nearly [-] armed helicopters, they still did not break into it. The defense building, the opponent's resistance is very tenacious, beyond their imagination.However, this also proves that there should be major figures in Iran in the Ministry of National Defense building, and they will definitely gain a lot this time.

And at the Tehran Air Force Base, which is a strategic location that he attaches more importance to, two airborne battalions were deployed here, and the battle started very smoothly, and the entire airport was successfully captured.

Next, it was time for the second batch of transport planes to land and transport heavy armor equipment. With these equipment, they could immediately be transferred to attack the Ministry of National Defense building, and pure infantry would carry out tough battles, which had great disadvantages.

However, no one thought that the commander in Tehran would dare to mobilize all the reserves to go to the Tehran Air Force Base!

Moreover, the opponent is dispatched very quickly. If it is half an hour later, our own transport plane has already transported a batch of heavy troops. In that case, there is no need to be afraid of the Iranian attacking troops. Infantry, armored units can easily defeat them, but the paratroopers dropped by the air are just ordinary infantry, although they are elite infantry, they cannot be counted as ten.

What's more, the airport is very empty, without suitable fortifications to rely on, it is unwise to stick to it. Qusay is very satisfied with the strategy of the on-site commander.

However, in this way, the entire attack will be delayed. What Qusay is worried about is not how the Iranian army will counterattack. As long as the reinforcements dispatched from Iran are surrounded, the remaining defenders in Tehran will not cause too much trouble. storm.Moreover, the remaining main force of the defenders was wiped out at the airport, which is of great benefit to the battle to liberate Tehran.

Qusay is only worried that the inability to quickly resolve the Tehran fighting will cause unfavorable factors in the international community.

Due to the perverse actions of the Iranian government, some major events have seriously harmed the interests of Western countries, and the blockade of the Persian Gulf has aroused public outrage. Therefore, including the United States, they have always adopted a supportive attitude towards Iraq's invasion of Iran. .

However, after all, Iran is a large country in the Middle East, with a vast territory, a large population, and rich oil production. After Iraq occupied Khuzestan Province in southern Iran, Iraq’s existing total crude oil reserves have surpassed that of Saudi Arabia, and its oil production , will rise steadily with the end of the war and return to the share given by OPEC.

However, unlike Saudi Arabia, Iraq has not fully shown its pro-American intentions until now. Now the United States is helping Iraq only to fight against the current government of Iran. However, taking Tehran means the downfall of the current government. Will it jump out and point fingers at the current situation in Iran, hoping to foster a government that is pro-Western?

Therefore, Qusay chose this timing. At this time, the American army was still looking for the defenders of Grenada in the jungle of Grenada Island. The Soviets were still active on the battlefield of Grenada. Moreover, the U.S. Army seemed to have discovered Now, what they faced was not only the Grenada government army, the Cuban army, but also a few elite Soviet soldiers. However, in order to avoid the escalation of the conflict, they still regarded the opposing army as pure-bred Grenadians.

The attention of the US military, under the deliberate promotion of Qusay, has been directed to Grenada. Regardless of the public opinion of the world's accusations, they are still sending more troops to Grenada.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Qusay hopes that the battle in Tehran can be resolved quickly, and then the new Iranian zhèngfǔ will be formally established in Tehran.

In the capital of Iran, Iran’s own organization established its own zhèngfǔ, and all of this will become Iran’s internal affairs. Then, all Middle Eastern countries will recognize this new regime. At that time, even if the US zhèngfǔ If they want to support another force, I am afraid they will have no chance.

All of this must be based on one premise: hurry up!

To take down Tehran, eliminate the current regime, and establish a new regime must be done quickly, before the Western forces find out, and before they react, all the facts must be established so that they cannot react.

Therefore, this night's battle is very critical.

The battle on the front line is still going on.

"Where has the Iranian National Liberation Army advanced?" Qusay asked.

"It has reached a distance of only five kilometers from the Tehran Air Force Base." A staff officer said.

"Let them speed up, rush to the air force base as soon as possible, and help the airborne regiment recapture the airport. Hurry up, we must transport the first batch of heavy troops into the theater by transport plane before dawn." Qu Sai said.

"Yes."

"Where has the [-]st Armored Division advanced?"

"It has crossed from the junction of Qazwin and Zhōngyāng provinces and entered the border of Tehran. It will reach Tehran by tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

The [-]st Armored Division set off from Hamadan, and this speed is not too slow.

"The First Armored Division must enter Tehran before noon tomorrow." Qusay said, "This is a military order."

"Yes."

"How about the [-]th Armored Division?"

"They are about to complete the encirclement of Iranian reinforcements, and the battle is about to begin."

"Okay, we must wipe out this group of enemies." Qu Sai clenched his fists.

No matter what, this time we must achieve our strategic goals, occupy Tehran, and establish a new zhèngfǔ!

In the darkness, Rajawi-Mohammad's heart was burning. His team was moving forward. The M48 tanks in the front were ready to fight, because they were close to their destination: Tehran The air force base, where the faint sound of gunfire proved that the battle was going on.

Finally came to the capital of Iran, they want to liberate here, they want to liberate the whole of Iran!

No one would know that even the CIA was unconscious. A kh-11 "keyhole" reconnaissance satellite flew according to the predetermined orbit and just passed over the Middle East.Compared with other spy satellites, this kind of satellite no longer uses film, and it takes a certain period of time before the film can be recovered by falling through the recycling device. It belongs to the digital image transmission type of real-time photographic reconnaissance satellite, that is to say, it is controlled by the satellite. The "imaging remote sensor" on the aircraft takes images of the ground scene through scanning methods, and transmits these "high-quality telephoto television signals" to the ground satellite receiving station in real time by means of digital image transmission. In this way, the national image of the CIA in Washington The interpretation center can immediately understand the instantaneous dynamics in various fields of the relevant country, and the reliability and real-time performance of the intelligence are very high.

Since it is night, this kind of satellite is not equipped with synthetic aperture radar and only takes pictures. When it scans this area, most of the scanned images are black and useless. It just executes itself faithfully. With the command of his own remote sensing device, he aimed at this piece of land, and slipped over Tehran inadvertently.

In the darkness, Tehran and several surrounding areas are bright.

A staff member on duty was leisurely stirring the coffee cup in his hand with a coffee spoon. The freshly brewed coffee gave off a strong aroma. He was just about to put the coffee in his mouth when suddenly his eyes were fixed on the screen.

He found that there were some light spots on one of the satellite images. As a strictly trained ground interpreter, he immediately felt something abnormal.

what is that?

He put down the coffee cup, put his hands on the operating table, and operated the joystick, and the image gradually became clearer.

He is quite familiar with the terrain of Tehran. Now, the places where the flames appear are Tehran's Ministry of Defense, zhèngfǔ building, and the Tehran Air Force Base outside.

Although the Fire Jumping Festival in Iran has just passed, there may still be Iranians who have not enjoyed themselves and continue to set fires, but the fire light can make the satellites in the sky detect it. Even if the sky is dark, it must reach a sufficient brightness. This brightness can only be achieved by weapons. , only possible with the flare of a bomb explosion.

That said, Tehran is going through a battle!

As an image researcher, he is only responsible for judging the images and reporting the most valuable news upwards. As for how the higher-ups make decisions, it has nothing to do with him.

However, he secretly plans to leave a copy and give it to an organization he is loyal to, because he has another identity, he is a Jew!

Chapter 558 Tehran Changes

Abed's paratroopers took advantage of the night vision goggles to shoot and kill the Iranian-supported troops in the dark. Although they were retreating, the way forward for the Iranians was paved with their own blood.

Wahari knew that his troops had suffered heavy casualties, but the victory encouraged them to step on their brother's body and move on. They had occupied most of the airport, and victory was beckoning to them.

Abed was about to evacuate out of the airport. Although they took the initiative to retreat this time, they were driven out in despair, and the paratroopers still felt a little uncomfortable.

They withdrew from the west, and the Iranians launched attacks from three places, but they did not block the entrance to the west, because the west was the farthest direction from them.

Just as the airborne troops were about to withdraw, they heard a rumbling sound behind them. It was the sound of tanks coming up.

Could this be a trap set by the Iranians, who blocked their way of retreat?Hearing the sound of the tanks, Abed was startled. Intuitively, he thought it was impossible. The Iranians were in a hurry, so it would be great if they could mobilize this army to support them. Where did their tanks come from?

Besides, tanks are from the West.

At this moment, they received the latest information from the C3I system: the Iranian National Liberation Army has arrived at Tehran Air Force Base!

Abed looked with the night vision goggles and saw the bright infrared headlights, with a smile on his face. If there are tanks coming, then it will be easy to handle!Even this kind of backward tank.

Tanks, for infantry, are naked massacres.
