The General Staff of the Field Army, which was guarding Ahvaz, received a special order not to retreat in the face of the Iranian army's counteroffensive.

It stands to reason that this order is in line with the psychology of the Prophet Army of the entire territory of the occupying army in Khuzestan Province, because they are not willing to withdraw, so why did the central government not move a single moment, and let their achievements be wiped out with an ultimatum? There is nothing so good in the world, but the decision is in the hands of the prophets.

Akram is a general with a big picture, although they occupy Khuzestan Province and occupy a strong terrain, but after all, they are an occupation army, and the people do not have much good opinion of them, although in the past month, they have implemented many strong measures, such as the fact that Oriental International began to plant Wasa No. 1 in Basra in addition to China.

For example, they improved people's livelihoods, because although Khuzestan province was a big oil province, it was just as devastated by war as Basra, so Basra merchants began to enter the province and solve the widespread hunger and poverty here, mainly by distributing relief food here.

But none of this can change the hatred of the Iranians in Khuzestan province towards the occupying forces, and in a sense, they support the Iranian army to fight back.

It would be good to say that the Prophet's army was fully defending the province of Khuzestan, but the frequent movements of neighboring Kuwait threatened the rear of Basra, especially after the central government changed to negotiate with Kuwait in the hope that Kuwait would send troops to urge Basra to withdraw its troops when it did not withdraw its troops in Basra.

It is said to be urging, but can it be urged with the army? By this time, Basra had fallen into a two-front situation.

Akram is most worried about Kuwait, on the contrary, he is worried about Kuwait's American army, the Prophet Army is simply unable to compete with the modern American Army, although they are already very good, but the Prophet Army, which has invested most of its troops in Khuzestan Province, is not able to make up for the gap in quality with equipment when the province is all new soldiers, and their equipment does not have much advantage compared with the American army.

Therefore, Akram hopes that the Prophet can consider the overall situation, withdraw the troops first and negotiate peace with Iran, and maintain the original position, saying that for the Prophet Army, whose entire army is demanding to fight to the death, it is impossible for Akram to mention this suggestion, because his boss Hei Wuchang will never agree, although he has rational considerations.

Akram could only hope that the wise prophet would also consider it rationally, but he was disappointed because the latter part of the order was reinforcements for the province of Khuzestan .

Two-thirds of the main force of the air force will be stationed at the Dizfula airfield in Khuzestan Province, and the missile brigade originally had 12 battalions, plus the newly expanded eight battalions and 120 battalions, and two new battalions will enter Khuzestan Province to maintain absolute air superiority.

That is, Basra left twelve battalions, eight battalions in the province of Khuzestan to form a triangular air defense strategy with Ahvaz, Dizful, Khomeini ports.

The newly expanded Army Heavy Brigade will be stationed in Khuzestan Province at the same time to deal with the all-out Iranian offensive, and if you count the 100,000 militia troops, then they have already invested two-thirds of their forces in Khuzestan Province, at least the Army.

Akram is very strange, not only did not withdraw the army, but also increased the army, which really does not match his impression of the prophet, although in the eyes of everyone, the prophet is a hardliner, but Akram feels that the prophet is a full rational, since the establishment of the prophet army, fought several wars, it seems that it is an irrational risky gamble, but if you look closely, you will find that it has been fully prepared.

However, this time, it is obvious that in terms of strategy and tactics, it is impossible for them to achieve any big advantage, and to invest so many troops into the occupied area is tantamount to making their rear air defense weak.

So Akram quickly reported the matter to the Supreme Commander Black Impermanence, for this black general, Akram is still very impressed, his tough and lightning-like attacks, always bring unexpected results, many people think that the black general is a clumsy person, but in Akram's eyes, he is a wise and foolish person.

At least in terms of employing people, he is unambiguous, he uses it when he recognizes it, and has no doubts, which makes Akram also dead set on him.

The black general still responded with a smile, obviously he had no resistance to the prophet's orders, which made Akram feel very bad, a battlefield commander should not just follow the orders from above, but also follow the situation on the battlefield to judge the direction of the situation.

General Black is good at everything, but he listens too much to the words of the prophet.

But Akram also knew that as long as the black general showed that signature smile, it meant that he would carry it out firmly, and he would not even explain anything to them.

"Do you doubt the head's orders?" Hei Wuchang put down the document in his hand and smiled tirelessly.

Akram was a little strange, in this case, General Black would not explain anything to him, but since he asked, he would naturally say what he thought: "I doubt the correctness of this order. ”

Saying that, he analyzed his consideration of the battle situation and the surrounding situation, and finally had such an opportunity to speak, Akram thought that even if the black impermanence would not change his determination, it would still play a role.

But General Hei confidently denied: "Although everyone makes mistakes, I think the mistakes made by the head are the least among all the excellent people I have ever seen." ”

"How can you be sure that he must be right? If it fails, Basra will be beaten back to its original shape, and he gives us hope, and I don't want to despair, we can't afford to lose. Akram said what he thought about that a smart commander would never say that on the battlefield, whether facing his subordinates or his superiors.

But Akram was smart, but he was far more hopeful of that hope than he was.

Hei Wuchang still smiled: "In terms of command and overall considerations, I am not as good as you, but you are not as good as me in terms of understanding the head, if you think that it is only you Basra people who can't afford to lose, then you are wrong, from the moment you followed the head here, I knew that he was already connected with this land, and he couldn't afford to lose either, that's why you trusted him so much." ”

This may be the passage that Hei Wuchang has said the most, which surprised Akram and thought deeply, looking at the smile on General Hei's face, Akram was a little less worried.

To their surprise, this time Canglong not only gave them full support, but also transferred the deputy commander of the Air Force, Aziz, to be responsible for this defensive campaign.

Hei Impermanence immediately summoned all the senior generals to discuss the deployment of the battle, because Canglong didn't have any more orders to come down, and only gave them a word, improvisation.

Although this is to give them the maximum delegation of authority, but such a vague order, but they are very entangled, everyone discussed how to deploy the defense, and even Akram came up with a perfect plan, almost to frustrate the Iranian army, but all were vetoed by the black impermanence, he did not speak, just wrote two words in Arabic on the blackboard, "attack".

So all the staff officers shut up, they were surprised at the same time, but they were also enthusiastic, maybe this plan is the most risky, but the attack is the best defense, now they have an absolute advantage in terms of troops and weapons, why not attack?

It was only at this moment that Akram understood why Black Impermanence trusted Canglong so much, and the so-called improvisation was actually to let them attack, and when the enemy thought they would defend, he would take them by surprise.

At the same time, in Basra, all that Canglong can now use is the twelve battalions of the missile brigade, and on the border and coastline, most of the troops deployed by Canglong are the new army and militia, which makes the top brass of Basra very afraid, how can this force cope with Kuwaiti harassment or possible attack?

But Canglong vetoed everyone's opinions, insisting on this, they couldn't do anything, and after the central government and Kuwait talks, Kuwait's reaction became bigger and bigger, and even later openly declared that it might help Iraq to clear out the rebels, as a friendly attitude of neighbors.

In the following half a month, Kuwait began to send its navy to continue to harass Basra and blockade the border, Kuwaiti soldiers sometimes crossed the border, there was not much movement in Khuzestan province, and the Iranian army fought with the Prophet's army no less than dozens of times, but it was a small battle, and the two sides could not hold each other.

The Kuwaiti Navy blockaded the ports of Basra and Fao, but did not block the ports of Khomeini, so most of Basra's trade went out through the two occupied Iranian ports, flying the UAE flag.

Despite this headache for both Iranians and Americans, the UAE is doing normal port trade and is not supporting Basra weapons and equipment, nor is it violating any terms.

However, when the U.S. Fifth Fleet decided to withdraw from the Persian Gulf once again and go to the Mediterranean Sea for exercises, the Iranians became excited, and finally they did not have to face the threat of the Americans' Fifth Fleet, and could send their navies from other naval bases to further threaten Basra, and even recapture the ports of Khomeini and Maheshahr.

The actions of the Americans were tantamount to telling the Iranian Navy, you can fight with confidence, I will not participate in the war, and the Iranian Navy immediately responded, and a fleet of two destroyers, three frigates, four corvettes, and twenty missile boats sailed out of the base in the port of Bushehr and headed for the port of Khomeini and Basra, and this mighty fleet shook the province of Basra.

They have no navy, they can only be beaten, and the air force is now two-thirds of its aircraft sent to the Dizful airbase in Khuzestan, and it is already difficult to confront the Iranian air force, let alone to support the port, if this fleet is placed directly on the mouth of the Shatt al-Arab, then Basra will be heavily damaged, leading to a total collapse of the rear.

Coupled with the harassment of Kuwait and the inability of the Forces nouvelles, the crisis has become more and more serious.

The high-ranking officials of Basra persuaded the prophet to hold peace talks and prepare as soon as possible, or the pressure was too great, Canglong actually compromised, and he sent a special envoy into Kuwait, hoping to reach some kind of agreement with Kuwait.

Although they were a little disappointed in the eyes of the senior officials that the mission was for Kuwait rather than Iran, they were finally relieved that at least the prophet knew the compromise and sent the mission to negotiate.

But how did they know that before the special mission was sent, the Russian aircraft carrier Peter the Great, supported by two frigates and a supply ship, had sailed into the Arabian Sea and would soon enter the Persian Gulf, visiting various countries along the way.

In the words of Nikolav: "Russia will fully support Basra and fight any war." ”

So why did Canglong send a special mission to Kuwait?
