Abed got in touch with Rajawi and made way for the passage. They had been fighting fiercely in the middle of the night, and the rest should be left to this Iranian army to solve.

The Iranians chasing the paratroopers also heard the rumbling sound coming from the front. Before they could react, the giant steel beast had already pressed up in the darkness.

Even if you don't use machine guns to shoot, don't use tank artillery to bombard, you can crush these infantry of the [-]th Division with just hitting the car body.

When he knew that there were tanks coming up ahead, Wahari was quite happy at first, because the Iraqi airborne troops did not have heavy weapons. Those tanks were probably reinforcements from their own side, and they just completed the encirclement when they came from the west. , However, before he was happy for a minute, those tanks began to kill his army frantically.

It has always been relying on the gradual victory and the morale boosted by Wahari to attack forward regardless of casualties. In fact, their energy has been drained. Now, the arrival of those tanks is to crush them The last straw.

The tanks did not use artillery, but just fired with machine guns. With the help of infrared headlights, the tankers could see clearly that the infantry of the [-]th Division fell in pieces, and their psychological defense was broken. After all, they were Ordinary people who have only been trained for a few months, tonight's battle has already made them feel like they have walked through hell.

They disregarded the military order and started to escape. This was their only way out.

After a fierce battle in the middle of the night, the arrival of several tanks completely controlled the situation. The Iraqi airborne troops and the Iranian National Liberation Army regained control of the airport.

Firmly controlling the airport, the transport plane in the rear finally started to take off again. The main transport plane in the Iraqi Air Force, the newly introduced Il-76, each transported two BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles in the cargo compartment. Although they It was the last mechanized unit of the First Armored Division to set off, but they would arrive at the battlefield ahead of time because they were flying by plane.

At this time, the battle at the Iranian Ministry of Defense Building is still going on.

"Report, the Revolutionary Guards and the [-]th Division are surrounded by Iraqis." At this time, a piece of news surprised everyone in the underground command.

Surrounded by Iraqis?Where are the Iraqis from?

Rafsanjani looked at the map hanging in front of him, looking at the attack road map. Yesterday, the mobile force in Iraq set off to attack the southern city, and the rescue force of his own side also went to stop them. , although they also lack effective means to deal with tanks and armored vehicles, but they must go to protect there.

At that time, Rafsanjani felt a little strange. Since the Iraqis were going to attack, why did they move so slowly during the day? Could it be that the logistics supplies could not keep up?How could the Iraqis make that mistake!

But now, the situation finally became clear. The Iraqi armored force didn't have the guts to attack there at all. It just mobilized its own defense forces to dispatch. Therefore, he eagerly ordered his army to return to defense, but he didn't expect What's more, in addition to the task of mobilizing its own troops, the Iraqi army has another task, which is to annihilate its own troops!

That force, especially the Revolutionary Guards, is the most important force in Iran. Now, that force is surrounded by Iraqis!

The Iranians at the scene all turned ugly. How can this war continue?

"Chairman, it's time for us to retreat. We are in Yazd, and we still have a few infantry divisions. We still have enough strength. It's too dangerous here. You should command the battle from the rear." At this time, a bold senior staff officer Speaking to Rafsanjani, his voice was mixed with the sound of guns overhead, and Rafsanjani only heard the general idea.

"What did you say? You asked me to abandon our fighting warriors, our capital, and be a deserter?" Rafsanjani's face was very gloomy.

"Boom!" At this moment, a huge explosion sounded from above the head again.The light above the head swayed from side to side.

"We can still fight, we can still fight the Iraqis in the streets, we can still..." Rafsanjani looked like a gambler who lost all his fortune, and his eyes turned red when he spoke.

However, before he finished speaking, another shocking news came: "Report, the [-]th Division was defeated at Tehran Airport, and most of the [-] officers and soldiers of the division, including the division commander Wahari, were killed."

In fact, the main casualties occurred during the attack on the airport, and then the tanks arrived. Although the tanks were more powerful, there were only a dozen of them after all. After being attacked by the tanks, most of the remaining surviving soldiers fled Well, if Wahari ran fast, he wouldn't have been killed, but he was unlucky, lost his way in the dark, and crashed into Rajawi's tank.

The 500th Division was also defeated?Rafsanjani felt that his eyes were dark. The [-]th Division was his last resort. Now, the Revolutionary Guards and the [-]th Division were besieged, and the [-]th Division was wiped out. Tehran's defenders, including the police It may be impossible for the second-line troops, including less than [-] people, to fight street battles with the Iraqis.

At this time, all the senior Iranian officials, no matter how idiot they are about the military, have sorted out their complete thoughts. The whole cause and effect are all the conspiracy of that Iraqi Qusay.

The street fighting in Tehran that was originally planned to cause heavy casualties to the Iraqis may no longer happen.

what to do?Is it really necessary to retreat?Rafsanjani was not reconciled.

The Il-76 is a front-line transport aircraft perfectly suited to the recently restored and somewhat undulating main runway of the Tehran Air Force Base.

Taking off from the front-line airport in Hamadan, the infantry fighting vehicles of the Mechanized Infantry Battalion were transported, and it only took a few 10 minutes to transport them to Tehran.

After controlling the Tehran Air Force Base and completely clearing all remaining Iranian soldiers within three kilometers, the runway lights were turned on, guiding the Il-76 transport plane to land here for the first time.

The hatch at the rear of the engine room was opened, and the first batch of infantry fighting vehicles of the [-]st Armored Division stationed in Tehran's Mechanized Infantry Battalion drove down the tail hatch. Although they were not main battle tanks, the addition of these infantry fighting vehicles would also give The attack on the defense complex in Tehran brings new forces.

They did not stop much, and together with the M48 tanks of the Iranian National Liberation Army, they began to drive towards the urban area of ​​Tehran. They needed to support the Iraqi army that was still fighting hard there.

After unloading the infantry fighting vehicles, the transport plane just did a simple inspection, took off again, and prepared to return to Hamadan to transport the second batch of infantry fighting vehicles again.

When the Il-76 transport aircraft was designed, it had a system of seven crew members, so that the aircraft did not rely on the maintenance support of the base, and could perform tasks independently in the field, which had a strong wartime use value.

Rajawi sat in an M48 tank, full of excitement in his heart. Now, the Iraqi army has firmly controlled the battle situation, and Tehran will soon take it down. The Iranian regime will change!

"Boom!" The M48 41mm tank gun of the M90 tank is already outdated in the face of the current main battle tanks. However, in the face of the Iranian Ministry of Defense Building, the tracer grenade is still very powerful.

With the bombardment of the tank guns, all the firepower points were wiped out.

When he heard the roar of tank shells above his head, Rafsanjani finally stopped insisting. He knew that this place would be captured sooner or later. He could no longer contact all the troops, and the situation was not optimistic.

After the revolution was completed in 79, the Ministry of National Defense Building was remodeled. Not only was there an additional headquarters underground, but there was also a passage connecting the outside of Tehran.

Rafsanjani remembered a lot. He had too many memories of the city of Tehran. He fought here, was imprisoned several times, and finally overthrew the Bavillian Dynasty. But now, he wants to start from here again. leave?

The sky gradually brightened.

The citizens of Tehran did not dare to sleep all night. They heard the sound of fierce firefights outside, but they did not know what happened. Could it be that there was a coup d'état?They don't believe it.

Only Iranian citizens living near the Ministry of Defense building saw that the Ministry of Defense building was almost razed to the ground, surrounded by armored vehicles they had never seen before, and the antennas on the roof were flying red, white and black three sè flag of Iraq.

Overnight, Tehran has undergone amazing changes. Could it be that Tehran has changed?

Chapter 559 Died at the Hands of "Allies" Jews

"Urgent information from the United States." In Tel Aviv, Israel, Mossad Director Nahum received the information.

The information was sent a little late, and it was already dawn at this time, because although the Jew got the information, he could not immediately send the information through a special channel, and he did not have the opportunity to meet his own until after get off work. contacts.

Inside the United States, there is a large number of Jews, in their Department of Defense, in their CIA, and there are many Jews, and not everyone has the same answer to the question of whether they are Jewish first or American first, Through unremitting efforts, Israel has already contacted several important people. As long as the CIA gets information, Israel can also get it.

After seeing the information, Nahum immediately realized that there might be a major change in the war situation in the Middle East that they had been paying attention to.

Iraq is attacking Tehran?Just yesterday, there was no movement indicating that Iraq would launch an attack on Tehran. How did such a big change happen overnight?

The matter was so important that he immediately went to meet Prime Minister Begin.

If Iraq really takes Tehran, the capital of Iran, then it means that Tehran's current government is over. If Iraq becomes stronger, it will be the biggest threat to Israel!

In this case, what should be done in the following column?In the worst case, Israel will directly send troops to interfere in this operation in Iraq. However, it will face many problems.

When Nahum was in a hurry to meet the prime minister, he didn't know that the instructors sent by his side to help Iran train the army, those volunteers, had done a big thing.

Rafsanjani has been hesitant until the Iraqis have captured the above-ground part of the Ministry of Defense building, and he finally decides to retreat. Although he suffered setbacks this time, he will definitely come back again!

After hastily packing up his things, Rafsanjani led his subordinates and began to retreat from the tunnel of the fortification.

One day, I will come back!In fact, Rafsanjani did not want to go directly to Yazd. He wanted to retreat to the small city in the south of Tehran first, because the two days of fighting showed a problem. No matter how strong Iraqi military strength is, they will never Dare to launch an attack on that small city!It is safe to stay there, at least wait until it gets dark before retreating in the direction of Yazd.

At the same time, he also issued an order for the provinces to continue to resist the invaders. Every inch of Iran's land must be sacrificed with the blood of soldiers!The remaining defenders of Tehran will also use the fortifications constructed these days to deal a heavy blow to the Iraqis!

A senior general stayed on voluntarily, changed to another command location, and continued to command the remaining army to fight. The rest of them all withdrew from Tehran.

After walking for nearly an hour, before exiting a large villa in the eastern suburbs of Tehran, the few cars that had been pre-arranged here had disappeared.In the entire villa, there was no one in sight.
