Chapter 112, Revenge
After everyone left, Su Su and Vivian stayed, for Vivian, this war was unstoppable, so she could only go all out to support the Prophet Army, and eliminate as much as possible the war might bring Yīn shadows, but she was very dissatisfied with Canglong's last order
"According to the Rì Neiva Convention, you can't kill prisoners at will, which is against international law, and when the time comes, Basra will be under pressure from public opinion, and it will also form a mortal enmity with Iran," Vivien said
Canglong smiled and looked at Vivian, but it made her a little creepy, and sure enough, Canglong said to Su Su: "The Minister of Administration is very thoughtful, she didn't say that I forgot that there is an international law and the Rì Neiva Convention."
At first, Vivien thought that Canglong would cancel the last order, but soon she realized that she was wrong, Canglong continued: "Tell Badr that we don't accept surrender, and since we don't accept surrender, there will naturally be no prisoners, unless they are fast enough to run back to Iran."
Saying that, Canglong also glanced at Vivian as if demonstrating, Vivian gritted her teeth angrily, but she was helpless, but Canglong did this, after all, the Iranian army did not treat the ordinary people of Basra as human beings, so why should they accept the surrender of such an army
As if he didn't think it was enough, Canglong added: "Let Badr leave 100,000 militia troops behind, and the other 100,000 militia troops will be driven to the border to escape, and one will be killed."
Hearing this, Vivian angrily left Canglong, obviously not ready to leave the Iranian army alive, Su Su had few objections, on the contrary, he agreed with Canglong's strategy of exterminating everything
The night was not destined to be peaceful, the Prophet Army was well prepared, almost always in a state of readiness, and with the support of armored forces on its own territory, it was extremely mobile, and the Iranian army did not seem to know that the Prophet Army had purchased a batch of new weapons, and even felt that the Prophet Army was the kind of ragtag that could be defeated in one blow
Iranian Major General Commander Hazem was reporting to the authorities from his temporary headquarters in the city of Faw, which roughly meant that the Basra people were instigating oil and sending a large army to capture the whole of Basra
It's just that what Hazem didn't expect was that the news of his shelling of the Basra port and the massacre of civilians had already been reported by Al Jazeera, although Iran didn't care about any public pressure, but such a scandal still made Hatham receive a scolding from the high command, and the victory was already perfect, but Hatham wanted to add some stains to this perfection
However, this did not affect Hazem's command, and the Iranian military had no intention of removing him, but let him be stationed on the spot, which roughly means to be honest and not to cause trouble for us
Hazem was very angry, didn't he just fire a few shots and killed a few civilians, how could hundreds of thousands of casualties on both sides in the Iran-Iraq war not be concerned, but this major general seems to have forgotten that the Iran-Iraq war was a mistake, and he took the initiative to fire artillery at the people who had no resistance
However, Hathem's anger did not last long, and the victory of the war was naturally a reward for his subordinates, and he thought that this was a rule that no commander could ignore, so he issued an order that night, not to put the troops on guard for battle, but to have the troops take ready-made food from the ready-made shops in Fao City and start a carnival
This stupid order decided in an instant the fate of the 50,000 Iranian troops who invaded France
It was also during their carnival that six Su-30 fighters, six MiG-29 fighters and two J-7Ms took off from Basra Air Base, and they were all loaded with air-to-surface missiles and heavy aerial bombs, almost without any intention of fighting in the air, because they were here for revenge
The brightly lit Fao was their best target, and when the first aerial bomb fell on the Fao, the war began, and at this time Hatham was full of food and drink, and he was convinced that the timid Prophet army would not come to attack them, but waited for them to beat the cowards
When the first explosion sounded, Hadem was still somewhat literate, he immediately got up and ran to the command and asked: "Who gave the order to open fire?"
Hazem thought his men were firing at the poor Basra men behind his back, but the staff officer told him with a pale face: "We have been hit by an airstrike."
"Air strikes" Hatham could hardly believe it: "What is there to be afraid of, haven't you ever fought a war, Basra only has two old Jaws, which are still second-hand goods that we once didn't want and ended up being resold to Iraq"
The staff officer was about to tell him that this was not the case, and then the terrible bombing came, and the whole of Faou was in a sea of fire, because instead of aerial bombs, it was burnt bombs that were dropped, and the Basra Air Force did not hesitate to tilt all the weapons mounted on their planes to add some entertainment to the revelry of the Iranian army
But this entertainment xìng show did not end, and then it was the main event, when Hazem was not easy to recover from the bombing and was about to command the troops to counterattack, but found that the shelling was coming again, and in his backward intelligence, how could Basra have formed an air force and running groups, it was impossible, this must be a dream, Hatham thought so
Even all the Iranian troops thought so, but when the shells fell on them, the last moment of their lives they wanted to scold the Iranian intelligence service, what bullshit intelligence, Nima's Lao Tzu went to see Satan because your intelligence was not in place
Hadem's life was long, and when the shelling was over, his staff officers were almost hanging, and he was able to get up from the rubble and stop an armored vehicle that was about to escape, and it was clear that the soldiers in the armored car did not know that their supreme commander was so big and so embarrassed
Using the communication device on the armored car, Hatham finally contacted his troops, and he was about to counterattack and beat the rats of the Prophet's army, when he suddenly found that all the troops were scattered, in the bombardment just now, most of the commanders only cared about fleeing for their lives and forgot to counterattack, and this intensive bombardment and artillery fire they all became targets, and they did not want to aim at all, one bomb and one accurate, so now he has lost almost a third of his men, another third is preparing to escape, and the other third is still quite qualified
Hatham showed the proper character of a general, did not give the order to retreat, but he gave an order to send these 50,000 people to their deaths, he made these already beaten and disorganized troops stand by for help, he thought that the border was not far from here, as long as the remaining troops on the border knew their situation, they would dare to come to support, and they had the most powerful air force in the region
But he forgot one thing: the main force of the Prophet Army is not the Air Force, nor the artillery group, but the infantry, when the Russian-made T80 main battle tank appeared in their field of vision, Hadem's armored forces completely collapsed, and Iran's most advanced tank is the Russian-made T72 main battle tank, as for the Chieftain main battle tank they developed themselves, they are not even as good as the T72, let alone compete with the advanced T80 main battle tank
Before the battle was fought, they lost in morale, and although the other side also had T72 main battle tanks, they did not flinch at all, under the cover of T80, 72 frequently fired artillery at their armored troops, and they were powerless to fight back, and Hazem, who was sitting in the armored car, finally understood that he lost this war, lost in the light enemy, and lost in the backwardness of intelligence
When the roar of fighter jets reappeared in the sky, and Jīng accurately delivered this blow to his remaining tanks, Hatham began to despair, his only thought was to flee and get out of here, even if the troops on the border reacted, it would take time
In less than half an hour, all the troops who remained here would have to be completely wiped out, because he had already seen the opposing armoured personnel carriers, and the mighty Prophet Army was like a flood of air-ground integration against their troops with the cooperation of tanks
The artillery he expected was not fired, and Hazem could not care so much about it, he could only flee, and he did not even give the troops the order to retreat, because he needed them to cover himself and leave the battlefield, and after the Supreme Commander there was no such thing as a complete collapse of the troops
And the Prophet Army began their revenge in a rhythm, the Iranian army was running fast, can it outrun the planes, the air force played their extraordinary level, and when the missiles and bombs were dropped, they attacked them with machine guns, and there was no mercy in their eyes, because when they fired their guns, they thought of the innocent people who died in the port of Basra, and the Iranian army angered them, and completely angered them
In fact, the first shot was fired not in the city of Faou, but at the Iranian artillery group on the outskirts of Faou near the border of the Shatt al-Arab River, and two Hercules transport planes parachuted all the soldiers of the special operations brigade behind these artillery pieces dozens of times
Although this was their first airborne landing, the special operations brigade still played their due combat effectiveness, although they did not train for long, but after all, they carried the word special warfare, so they were like a pack of wolves pounced into a large flock of sheep, and the Iranian artillery of 3,000 people became sheep to be slaughtered
The people in Fa'o are reveling, and they are no exception, although they are not able to grab a handful in Faou City, but the livestock raised in the houses on the outskirts of Faou City have become the targets of their violence, although they do not know that they have become cattle in the eyes of the special operations brigade when they are reveling
In the early hours of the next morning, for the remaining Iranian troops who were still fleeing, the battle was inexplicably won but lost, and when they managed to escape the bombardment of the planes and tanks, and the infantry ran to the Shatt al-Arab River, which borders Basra, they found that it was already crowded
At first, they thought it was their army, but soon they realized that it was wrong, because these people were not well-dressed, not regular soldiers, but they all had rifles in their hands, and they all wore white silk on their heads, which was the costume to commemorate the dead
And the hatred in their eyes told these Iranian soldiers who had escaped death that they were prophetic soldiers
