The Iranian Air Force pilots obviously did not expect that the Basra fighters would follow them into Iran, and they had the idea of counterattacking, but this thought hovered in their minds for less than a second, and then disappeared, although the other side followed them into their territorial waters, but now there is still a huge disparity in strength.

Whether in terms of aircraft performance, radar, or weaponry, they are weaker than the Basra Air Force, and there is absolutely nothing false about this information, but it is real, because this is what the Russian military provided to them before this, and they do not have any advantage in numbers, the other side is twenty-four, twice as much.

However, they had already planned to not fight hard with the Basra Air Force, but to introduce them into the hinterland of Iran step by step, and when the time came, with the cooperation of the Air Defense Force, the Basra pilots would have to die in Iran even if they were powerful.

But soon they realized that something was wrong, and the twenty-four planes in the rear actually separated in formation, and eight followed them, and sixteen of them went to the other side, and quickly disappeared from their radars.

The experienced commander of the formation immediately reported the situation to the base, and soon they got the answer, the target of the sixteen planes was actually the port of Khomeini, this time they were shocked, judging by the frequency of radar launches, they were obviously fighters, fighters on bombing missions?

This is not unprecedented, because the opponent is a heavy fighter, not a light bomber, the light fighter has excellent fighting performance, but the bomb load is not much, while the heavy fighter, the bomb load, the combat performance will be relatively weakened, and the price is also very expensive, but it can perform some ground bombing missions accordingly.

However, the command of their Khuzestan province did not expect that the Basra Air Force, after sinking their warship, would make such a big circle and actually use fighter jets to carry out air raids.

Although there is an air defense force in Khuzestan province, it is relatively weak, and from the Iran-Iraq war to the present, Iran has pressed most of its military forces on the Persian Gulf coast in the southeast and Tehran in the north.

It is close to the Iraqi capital to the north, while it faces the Persian Gulf in the southeast, and is opposite the U.S. Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.

Basra is relatively empty, and who would have thought that Basra would become stronger? After the new president took office, he did not have time to replenish the military strength here, because they had never had such an army as Basra and dared to attack them on the initiative.

They have always believed that with the strength of Basra's army, the initiative of the war has always been in their hands, they can fight and withdraw when they want, and the Prophet's army is unable to launch a counterattack against them, or directly threaten their territory.

Because of all this, coupled with the supersonic cruise of fighter jets, they have no time to stop the air attack, and the Dizfuler Iranian Fourth Air Base in Khuzestan Province has only twenty fighters in total, barely forming a squadron.

The rest were reconnaissance planes or small bombers, and the main forces of the air force were concentrated at the first air base in Tehran and other air bases in the southeast.

Now they are faced with a problem, what about turning back to the enemy? Or homecoming!

In the end, the commander of the Dizfuller Air Force, Yakubi, gave them a decision to turn back to meet the enemy, and after destroying the enemy aircraft, immediately support the port of Khomeini.

At the same time, ten other aircraft at the base took off urgently to support the port of Khomeini.

Today was an extremely unusual day for the commander of the Diz Fuller Air Force Base, Yakubi, who first received an order to support the Navy, and when the planes arrived, a small formation of the Navy had already been sunk, and in the face of the powerful Basra group, they had to turn back.

But he never expected that the Basra Prophet Army, which was weak in their eyes, not only sent an air force to strike at their warships, but even penetrated deep into their territory and threatened their military ports.

Yakubi could hardly believe that, as a member of the Revolutionary Guards, Yakubi never believed that Fao's defeat was a sign of the Iranian army's infighting power, but that the president's regular troops were too poor in quality and equipment, and he had a sense of blind orthodox pride.

But what happened this time completely changed his previous view of the Prophet Army, and when he informed the Air Defense Force to shoot down these planes, the commander of the Air Defense Force actually replied to him: "Yakubi, you don't have a fever, do you?" How could the weak Basra Air Force attack us? And our radar did not detect the intrusion of UFOs into Iranian airspace. ”

At that time, Yakubi had the urge to slap this commander, the arrogance of the air defense force is unique in the Iranian army, and it is okay to do this in peacetime, but it is still so lax in wartime, Yakubi really can't hold back his anger: "My plane has been dispatched to meet the battle, you better wash your eyes and look at your radar screen, if the military port causes losses, you will wait to be shot at that time." ”

The commander did not continue to joke about Yakubi, and after the communication was interrupted, Yakubi learned that it was too late, and the air defense forces had obviously not fulfilled their duty, so that the Basra air force had the opportunity to enter the military port of Khomeini, and he soon received a call for help from the military port.

But there was nothing he could do, because he had done everything he could, and the attack on the military port this time was certain, and it was up to them to recover how much damage they could recover.

However, Yakubi apparently did not expect another thing, a phone call from the Revolutionary Guard Headquarters in Khuzestan Province, and the content of the call was actually a request for him to send air force reinforcements to the border.

At that time, Yakubi was stupid, and after asking about the situation, he learned that the Prophet Army had launched a full-scale attack on the border and that there was air force cover, at which time Yakubi suddenly thought of something, after the pilot reported that thirty fighters attacked the naval formation, but only twenty-four came to them, that is, six returned.

And now the six returning planes, after returning to Basra Air Base, took off again and launched an attack on the Iranian border.

"This is all-out war." Yakubi suddenly understood one thing, this was not a local friction as they imagined, but a total war, against which the Basra people had waged.

Even he couldn't believe this result, once upon a time they had always had an absolute advantage, whether it was on the border or at sea, they were on the active side, and now the side that they seemed to be weak actually took the initiative to attack, how could he believe it?

However, the commander of the Khuzestan Command told him that without the support of the Air Force, they would lose the entire province of Khuzestan and they would have to retreat.

Getting this news, Yakubi's first reaction was, how is it possible? Khuzestan province is heavily guarded, 50,000 regular troops and 10,000 revolutionary guards, and the total strength of Basra is only more than 30,000 people, if you don't count the militia, this is 50,000 cattle, put for the prophet army to kill, it will take a long time, not to mention that they are all people, flesh and blood soldiers with weapons.

But since the headquarters asked him to support him so miserably, it was obviously beaten very badly, Yakubi regretted a little, regretted that he underestimated the Prophet Army, maybe the army was beaten so badly, it was also because they underestimated the Prophet Army, and now he is faced with another choice, whether to support the army, or to support the military port?

After weighing the pros and cons, Yakubi rejected the Army's request, knowing full well that even if he did return to meet the battle, once his plane reached the border, it would not be the Basra Air Force, but the damned missile brigades of the Prophet Army, even more advanced than the Iranian Air Defense Force.

At least keep the military port here, they can still have the advantage at sea, as long as the fleet is not destroyed, they can have absolute sea superiority on the return.

But Yakubi never expected that what he heard in the base was the last screams of the pilots, and with these screams, the plane disappeared from the radar.

Watching the planes being shot down one by one, Yakubi was furious, he picked up the phone, dialed the air defense force and scolded: "Are you all-eaters? What about anti-aircraft missiles? Is it fun to watch my plane get shot down? ”

But the commander of the air defense forces replied to him: "The command asked us to immediately support the border areas and stop the offensive of the Prophet's army." ”

At that time, Yakubi almost fell to the ground, if the Iranians had the habit of scolding their mother, Yakubi would definitely scold their mother at that time, but unfortunately they did not have this habit, he was silent.

This damn Air Defense Force commander was a pig's brain in his eyes, and now he could only watch as a group of fighters took out their planes, bombed their military ports, and flew away.

The air defense forces did not launch a single missile, and in the end, with a slight battle loss of one aircraft, the Prophet quickly flew towards the open sea and returned to Basra.

They lost almost all of their planes, and the only two Mirage fighters that returned home were slightly damaged and could not continue the battle.

However, he knew that the warships in the military port were probably sunk, and the combined strength of sixteen heavy fighters was equivalent to bombers, and he did not believe that the Basra Air Force did not understand what a precision strike was, which was a naval base that included one frigate, two corvettes, and ten missile boats.

Now that it's gone, Yakubi is angry in his heart, angry that this pig-brained air defense commander doesn't know what strategic value is, if he had discovered the Basra Air Force earlier, even if he hadn't found out, if he cooperated with him to destroy the Basra fighters on the military port, it would directly lead to the loss of air power of the Prophet Army.

As long as the planes attacking the military port are eliminated, the losses of the military port can be minimized, and they can also free up their hands to support the army, and then they will be able to occupy air superiority, and in a few days, troops and fighters will be transferred from other provinces, and then it will be the end of all the prophetic armies.

But he knows that there are no ifs or assumptions in war, only the cruel reality, and once he loses his fighter plane, he will lose the initiative on the entire battlefield and lose the war
