Chapter 340: Caught off guard

The first unlucky ones were not the operatives brought by Wang Dong, but the garrison troops on the outer defense line.

The Hellfire missiles fired by helicopter gunships several kilometres away were all fired at the barricades of the garrison, as well as at the armoured vehicles parked at the junction.

Next, helicopter gunships hit the vehicles inside the residence with rockets.

It's just that the accuracy of the rockets was not too high, and only a few off-road vehicles were destroyed.

Flying closer, the four AH-64As began to strafe the garrison outside the residence with machine guns, and focused on the garrison's heavy machine guns.

Presumably running out of ammunition, four AH-64As flew away in a few minutes.

Throughout, the helicopter gunships did not attack the people or buildings in the residence, nor did they even use machine guns to strafe the vehicles parked in the residence.

Why is that?

"Karim doesn't want Razak to be a Sunni national hero."

Hearing this, Wang Dong looked at Luo Qing next to him.

"If Razak dies here, and is killed in battle, millions of Sunni Iraqis will consider him a national hero. Only by taking him to court, and having a judge convict him after the trial, will Karim be able to gain popular support and become the legitimate leader of the state. Luo Qing pursed his lips and said, "Karim only knows that Razak has hired a few bodyguards, but he doesn't know that there are hundreds of people. ”

That's when Lyanna walked over.

"We need to get out of here quickly, those helicopters are from the 'Mosul' brigade, and it won't be long before the armored units will come over."

"You think we want to stay here?" Luo Qing was a little angry.

The meaning of Lyanna's words seems that it is Wang Dong's fault that they have not been able to leave the Speaker's residence, and Wang Dong and them should be held responsible.

In fact, Luo Qing couldn't get used to this old woman who likes to pretend to be tender for a long time.

Wang Dong glared at Luo Qing and told her not to cause trouble.

Although he also disliked Lyanna, Wang Dong felt that there was no need to offend Razak's secretary for a momentary pleasure, not to mention that she was also a British spy.

Outside, the gunfire became intense, and the military police, who had previously been stopped by the garrison, began to advance.

Apparently, the military police had long received information that the "Mosul" brigade had sent helicopter gunships, so they had not launched an attack before.

The officers and men of the garrison were still fighting, but the resistance was extremely weak.

More than half of the officers and men were killed in a surprise attack by helicopter gunships, and all armored vehicles and most of the heavy machine guns were lost.

The remaining officers and men of the garrison will soon be wiped out by the military police.

No one surrendered, or the military police did not take prisoners.

Wang Dong could see very clearly that outside the gate of the official residence, several soldiers of the garrison who were seriously wounded and incapacitated handed over their weapons to the military police, only to be executed on the spot.

That's the military police?

Wearing a military police uniform, but when the officers and soldiers of the garrison were executed, there was no mercy, and perhaps they were not military police at all.

What is that?

Wang Dong was secretly surprised, because he thought of a question.

When the military police arrived, Luo Qing had just received the news that the Baghdad military police had pledged allegiance to Karim.

How can the military police in Baghdad be so fast?

That is, these military police were dispatched before that.

If they were really military police, there was no reason to go out before declaring allegiance to Karim, after all, military police are paramilitary forces.

They are certainly not military police.

Mercenary?

Numerous and well-organized, all bearded and similar in appearance to Iraqis, they mainly use AK series rifles.

No, not mercenaries, it's Iran's Quds Force!

That's right, it's the Quds Force.

These guys, just disguised as military police.

Apparently, they had already arrived in Baghdad and were lurking in the city, ready for battle.

Besides, they definitely have something to do with Karim.

Let's not forget, before the helicopter gunships of the "Mosul" brigade arrived, these guys had been pinning down the garrison and did not attack.

Without working with Karim, they wouldn't have known when the gunship would have arrived.

Their mission was to hold Razak and keep him in the Speaker's mansion to buy time for the army under Karim's personal command.

Let's not forget that both brigades loyal to Karim were deployed on the outskirts, while the "Menini" brigade loyal to Razak controlled all the lost communication arteries.

Although the combat effectiveness of the "Mosul" brigade is extremely strong, it may not be able to storm the city in time under the resistance of the "Manini" brigade.

As soon as he found that the tide was turning, Razak would flee Baghdad.

With the help of an infantry battalion, Razak was sure to be able to escape before the "Mosul" brigade stormed the city.

That's why Karim let the guys attack and stop Razak from escaping.

It's just that Karim definitely didn't expect that Lazak invited not a few personal bodyguards, but a mercenary.

Outside the residence, the battle had come to an end.

The few remaining officers and soldiers of the garrison are still fighting, but they do not have much meaning except to lead the enemy over, and they will soon be completely annihilated by the enemy.

"Man, madman, hold the wings."

"Roger."

"Understood."

"All have it, don't fire. Let the enemy in and listen to my orders. ”

After Wang Dong shouted, several squadron leaders and squad leaders replied one after another.

After speaking, Wang Dong nodded to Luo Qing.

Luo Qing didn't ask much, she understood what Wang Dong meant.

The "Menini" brigade, loyal to Razak, has been routed, and it is useless to destroy as many enemies as possible, and it is imperative to leave Baghdad as soon as possible.

It has to be done quickly.

If you can't destroy these enemies, you have to take the enemy by surprise, so that the enemy can't find the north, and then lead Lazak and others to break through.

Obviously, the suddenness of the attack was crucial.

When Wang Dong was preparing for battle, Luo Qing went to find Razak and asked him to prepare.

Outside the residence, as the last few garrison officers and soldiers were killed, the enemy, disguised as military police, took control of the street entrance and began to assemble towards the gate of the residence.

It's very orderly, but the number of people is too small.

Obviously, those guys felt that they didn't need to send many personnel to deal with a few bodyguards.

After completing the encirclement of the official residence, two teams of more than ten enemies came to the gate of the official residence, one on the left and one on the right, in a standard assault formation.

"Hold your breath, I'll shoot the first shot. Brother Chu, keep an eye on the machine gunner outside. ”

"Roger."

Wang Dong took a deep breath, raised the DF8SMG, and aimed at the enemy at the front.

"Da Da Da-"

Although it was only a few tens of meters, Wang Dong was absolutely sure that he would blow the guy's head with one shot, but for the sake of insurance, he still chose three bursts.

"Da Da Da ......"

……

In an instant, gunshots rang out.

None of the more than a dozen enemies who entered the residence reacted, and all of them were killed.

"Men and women, madmen, kill the enemies outside and cover our evacuation."

Wang Dong did not dare to delay, and immediately organized the evacuation of personnel.
