Chapter 131, rush, for Basra
() Reconnaissance planes at Basrah Air Base found that after the opening of the sea ban, the number of fishing boats operating in Basrah's territorial waters increased, and the coastal Jǐng reserve began to escort ships around the clock, but the Iranian Navy ships sailing from the port of Khomeini in Khuzestan province did not intrude into Basra's territorial waters
And the fishing boats that drove Basra away, although they did not shell, but this was equivalent to being put to the neck with a knife, so Canglong immediately rushed to the control tower of Basra Air Base, and at the same time issued an order to the coastal Jǐng reserve to expel all Iranian ships
This order made the staff in the control tower dumbfounded, their air force so far has more than 30 aircraft, including reconnaissance planes, to form a reinforced squadron, most of them are advanced third-generation fighters of Russia, but the navy has a few dilapidated patrol boats, except for the machine gun mounted on them, there is no threat at all in the face of the powerful Iranian navy
Now that Canglong had given this order to die, it was really hard for them to believe it, but they did not question it, as a soldier, the most important thing was to obey the orders of the prophet
The Coastal Jǐng Reserve soon received the order, and although they felt that the order might be in the face of an Iranian naval artillery attack, the servicemen of the Coastal Jǐng Reserve carried out the order, assembled ten patrol boats that were patrolling the sea, and began to approach the formation of the Iranian Navy
In the images transmitted by the reconnaissance plane, Canglong clearly saw the contrast between the two armies, and the patrol boat of the Jǐng reserve on the coast was like an ant, facing the giants, and it was also a group of giants
At this time, everyone became nervous, and the coastal jǐng reserve began to shout at the Iranian Navy with loudspeakers, because there was no radio equipment to dock with the Iranian Navy, so they could only use this primitive equipment to protest, demanding that the Iranian Navy quickly withdraw from the territorial waters of Basra, otherwise they would exercise their right to defend the territorial waters
But in the face of this group of little ants, the Iranian Navy's five-ship formation didn't care, it felt like a group of adults watching a group of children demonstrating with themselves, it was a joke, a corvette plus four missile speedboats were just crushed, and without firing a shot, the coastal reserve could be knocked and sunk, let alone leaving Basra's territorial waters
Then the Iranian Navy began to maneuver with the patrol boat, several times the corvette almost collided with the patrol boat, fortunately there was no danger, but by the huge waves, one of the patrol boats was still overturned, and the other patrol boats rushed to rescue their comrades on board
Fortunately, they were all rescued in the end, but the overturning of a patrol boat aroused the anger of the Coast Guard, and as a member of the Prophet Army, the members of their Coast Guard have always been very aggrieved, because they did not have a warship, so they did not have their share in several wars
And every time they are bullied, they are hindered by the fact that the coastline is too narrow, and they are not equipped with warships, and they do not complain too much, after all, even during the Saddam period, there were not many warships, and if they want to compete with the powerful Iranian navy with sea power, it will be a huge amount of money
But they were burdened with a humiliating burden: the fishermen were captured and slaughtered, and they had no choice but to watch their compatriots being bullied, and even their home port being shelled by the Iranian navy, which was a pain that they will never forget
Although no one blamed them, the guilt in their hearts weighed them down, and they were a little breathless, hundreds of people were on the coast, and every time they trained routinely, they were filled with anger and anger as they watched the Iranian navy rampant in their territorial waters, and they couldn't help it
But I can't help but endure it, and the prophet must not attack the Iranian navy until the battle order is given
But today was different, the Prophet gave the order to expel the Iranian Navy, and although they were well aware that it might cause friction and even misfire, and they would all end up dying here, they carried out the order because the Prophet finally gave the order for them to attack, although they were not allowed to fire
For them, it is an honor, and the honor and disgrace of the country are borne on them at this moment, and this is not vanity, but a matter of dignity, the dignity of a soldier
Since the Prophet took control of Basra, they have been honorably a member of the Prophet's Army, and their pride has never been so strong, and they have been beaten since they were born, but the presence of the Prophet has changed the situation completely, and now they want to regain their dignity, even the weak, and have the right to defend their dignity
On the command boat, Abdul looked at the comrades who were rescued, full of anger, they had done their best, looking at the patrol boat that was about to fall silent after being overturned, Abdul smiled, the adjutant next to him didn't know why he was laughing, but he saw the madness in Abdul's eyes
"Contact the other eight patrol boats and get them all to come over," Abdul ordered, cutting off contact with the base
When the eight patrol boats gathered around the command boat and formed a formation, Abdul took a megaphone and looked at the formation of Iranian ships thousands of meters away and said: "I respect the Prophet, but today I am going to give an order that goes against the Prophet's order"
Hearing this, everyone looked at him with jǐng ti in their eyes, and if he defected, they would not hesitate to take out their guns and shoot Abdul to death, but they knew that this commander would not do anything to defect, so they just jǐng ti just in case
Abdul understood that his subordinates were not dissatisfied with his subordinates, on the contrary, he felt that this was a necessary quality to be loyal to the Prophet and loyal to Basra, which was the Prophet's Army to defend Basra and unite Iraq and lead Iraq to a strong Prophet Army
"The prophet asked us to expel the Iranian Navy, we can't do anything," Abdul shook his head helplessly, and suddenly his face became solemn again, "But today I am not ready to go back, I am not prepared to go back to the base, where to go back, to return there, to live in humiliation, although the weapons on our ships may not cause any damage to the Iranian Navy, but we still have one thing"
Hearing this, everyone understood what he wanted to say, and at this time, the formation of the Iranian Navy approached again, as if to come to the formation that had broken them down
But they didn't know that this ant-like patrol boat formation in their eyes was about to do a crazy thing, Abdul looked at the Iranian warship in the distance, and then looked at the sinking patrol boat, and said with a smile: "Do you want to be cowards and be bullied for the rest of your life, or do you rise up and take back the dignity that belongs to the Prophet's Army."
He was answered by collective silence, they were not afraid of death, silence because at some point it was about to erupt, they did not need to take an oath and they did not need to shout, because they did not lack courage, only silence could represent their anger and the roar that was about to be sent to the Iranian Navy
"Those who are willing to stay, follow me and rush into the Iranian ship formation, even if they hit us, they will sink an Iranian warship, and all those who are unwilling to leave will return," Abdul said solemnly as he looked at his subordinates
Everyone nodded their heads and expressed their willingness to stay in this moment, they may be hated by history, maybe they will not be remembered by history, maybe they may have become sinners for disobeying the orders of the prophet and going to war with the Iranian navy without authorization, but at this moment they are heroes in their hearts
"All patrol boats are at full speed, targeting the Salam, the flagship of the Iranian enemy naval formation, moving at full speed" Abdul gave his last order in this life: "Allah and the Great Prophet may be blessed"
"Allah the Prophet and Prophet have been upon him," all crew members repeated, putting their right hands down on their chests and bowing one last time in the direction of Basra
"Rush, for Basra," Abdul uttered his final cry
Nine patrol boats then sailed at full speed towards the oncoming Iranian naval formation, and although they looked insignificant, they turned into a torrent and vowed to sink the Iranian flagship
At the same time, at the Basra airbase, after the patrol boat was overturned, everyone who saw it was extremely indignant that it was their territorial waters, and they could not stand being bullied like this in their own territorial waters, but what happened next made them puzzled
When the nine patrol boats formed a formation and sailed towards the Iranian Navy, everyone thought that they would continue the expulsion mission, but Canglong realized that something was wrong
"Inform the coastal reserve to let them come back and shoot those who disobey the order immediately," Canglong suddenly gave an order that surprised everyone in the air force
Even Su Su looked strange and Bai Wuchang felt even more inexplicable, Canglong asked the coastal jǐng reserve to be dispatched, isn't it just to find an excuse to start a war, and now withdraw what is going on
But they soon understood that because of Chinese technical support, Basra's land information equipment was still very developed, and the order was quickly accepted by the high command of the coastal Jǐng reserve, but at the same time, all ten patrol boats lost contact
After seeing the posture of them sailing towards the Iranian naval formation, Su Su suddenly thought of something that had happened in China in history, but at that time, the Chinese navy was not as weak as the Basra navy
"All warplanes must take off and annihilate all Iranian ships before they ram the Iranian Navy ships," Canglong gave a very helpless order
But before the fighters could take off, the images transmitted by the reconnaissance planes shocked everyone, with the first patrol boat crashing into the flagship of the formation of the Iranian Navy, followed by the second, third, and fourth
In the eyes of the Air Force, the explosions were a struggle between the naval brothers against the Iranian warships, but you can imagine how tragic the situation was at the time, and the Iranian Navy did not react until the fifth ship collided, and these Basra people carried out suicide attacks, not just funny, to expel them
Two Mk3476 mm guns, two 20 mm guns and two 7 mm machine guns on the Salam on the corvette opened fire at the remaining patrol boats at the same time, and all the machine guns were fired to sweep the shè
The four missile boats also reacted, and only one of the remaining four was rammed into the Salam, and the remaining three were all sunk, stained red with blood, and belonged to the territorial waters of Basra
Since then, all the patrol boats of the Jǐng reserve on the coast of Basra have been sunk, and 252 people have been killed in this naval battle with great disparity in strength
