Chapter 547: Iraq's Goal Is Not Tehran

readx;

At the beginning of the Iran-Iraq war, under the command of President Saddam, although Iran was caught off guard and invaded the mainland, they made the invading Iraqi army pay a heavy price, and the strategic situation gradually became favorable to Iran

It wasn't until Qusay-Abdullah arrived in the Southern Military District that the tide of the war changed, and since then, Iran has hardly had a good day. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧

Now, several provinces in the south and north of Iran have been silkwormed, and although they are all confident in Iran on the surface and believe that they will definitely defeat the aggressor, but in their hearts, only they know what they think.

What's more, those who now hold military power at the top level of Iran do not understand military affairs, and it would be good for those who have received higher education from Western military academies to be released from prison, and they have no ability to enter the top level at all, let alone point fingers at the current war situation.

At this time, on the contrary, the prime minister, who was born in the civilian service, saw more clearly, how could Iraq be so aggressive this time that it was possible to just drop a few bombs and leave?

"We have set up a defensive line in Zhongyāng and Qazvin provinces, and if the Iraqis want to attack, then they have to cross our line first. ≦≧," Mohsin said.

Rafsanjani knew that now, the Iraqi army had crossed the Iranian plateau, and in order to prevent the Iraqi army from continuing the offensive, a defensive line was laid down by the second-line reserves in Zhongyāng Province and Qazweib, but these people were poorly equipped and untrained, and they were purely cannon fodder.

Because, there are not many regular Iranian troops left, they can't attack, they have to stay in the city of Tehran, because, although these high-level Iranian personnel have little command experience, after all, they have already experienced these wars and know that their current troops are out of the city of Tehran, then. They will not be able to resist the attack of the Iraqi armored forces at all, they can only rely on the city of Tehran to engage in street battles with the Iraqi army, even if Tehran is still lost in the end, they will definitely kill and wound a large number of Iraqi soldiers, so that it can be effective, just like the battle of Khorramshahr in 81, after that. The Iraqi army no longer dared to venture into Abadan. Fear of the same loss.

Let Tehran, turn into the second Khoram Shahr, and let the blood of Iraqis come to honor the great Iran!

At a time when the Iranian leadership is discussing the reasons for Iraq's sudden attack. ≦≧ there were changes on the front.

North of Hamadan, Razan, an Iraqi feint force. Their sorties have already begun.

This is a mechanized infantry battalion, equipped with dozens of Type 63 infantry fighting vehicles and several Type 69 tanks, and they are showing their teeth towards the Iranian defense line.

Before the Iranian second-line troops could react, they had already rushed to the Iranian lines, tore several companies of infantry guarding there to pieces, and then headed in the direction of Tehran. Moving on.

The Iranian army did not put up decent resistance at all, their fighting qualities were too poor.

This army, without a doubt, is definitely coming towards Tehran!

Because it was dark, the surviving Iranian soldiers did not see clearly how many troops had broken through their own defenses. All they knew was that the tanks were rumbling and that they were attacked by the Iraqis.

The intelligence was quickly passed upwards and reached Tehran.

The meeting had just been concluded and a preliminary consensus had been reached. ≦≧ closely monitor the movements of the Iraqi army and mobilize all the troops in Tehran at any time. In preparation for the ensuing street fighting, they even passed a resolution that they could issue weapons to the citizens and call on them to join them in resisting the Iraqi aggression.

As a result of the circumstances that arose today, Rafsanjani decided to transfer a special group of people in the troops, that is, Jewish instructors, to the rear.

"Instructor Otto, thank you for helping us during this time." "Now that the Iraqi army is showing signs of advancing towards Tehran, for your safety, ask your team of instructors to retreat to Yazd in the rear," Rafsanjani said. ”

"Mr. President." "Now, Tehran is facing danger, although we are volunteers, we are willing to fight with you, and with our instructors here, we can make our fighters more flexible in battle, and we are willing to contribute our own strength for your just war," Odo said. ”

If a young Iranian man hears Odo's words, he may be very moved, but for Rafsanjani, who has already experienced countless things, he knows what the other party is planning.

Let them train the army, and there is a risk that the army will be controlled by them, and now, in the possible street fighting in Tehran, if they are allowed to continue to command the army, then no matter how far they end up, it will be a very dangerous behavior for Tehran. ≦≧

To be a qualified politician, one must see further than others.

"Last time, because your country's aid weapons were discovered, your high-level was greatly affected, and now, if you participate in the street fighting in Tehran, then, if you are discovered by the Iraqis, your high-level will be in big trouble, although you came here as a volunteer, I am afraid it will also have a bad impact on your country internationally." "Moreover, the task of training the six newly formed infantry divisions in Yazd is even more difficult, and they will take on the heavy task of counteroffensive in the future," Rafsanjani said. ”

Rafsanjani generously rejected the other party's kindness, and Odo was not dissatisfied, but said: "This Iraqi attack is a bit strange, I hope you can keep your eyes open, the real target of Iraq's attack may not be Tehran." ”

Rafsanjani's heart was tight, in fact, this idea had been circling in his mind for a long time, no matter how well Iraq was prepared, they would not not be unaware that now they have deployed a lot of troops in Tehran, and if the other side wants to take Tehran, it will need to pay a great price for casualties. ≦≧

But if the Iraqis are not aiming here, then all their current military plans, all their battle plans, will be useless.

Apart from here, there is only one other place worthy of a large-scale Iraqi attack, the city in the desert that is even more important for Iran one hundred and thirty-five kilometers south of Tehran!

Rafsanjani only had a vague feeling in his heart that even as the almost supreme leader of Iran, he did not dare to think about how bold Iraq was to attack that place.

However, it now seems that Iraq really has this possibility, and now, there is nothing that the young man named Qusay does not dare to do, and he does not know that it will arouse the public anger of the entire Iranian people? Or does he simply not care, because, he already has that ability?

In contrast to Tehran, the city was almost undefended, with no armed forces except for an infantry battalion guarding the perimeter there.

It seems that it is time to send troops over to strengthen the defense there, even if the Revolutionary Guards are drawn from Tehran, they must protect the security there, and the Supreme Leader is still there.

"Whatever the real purpose of the Iraqi offensive is, we will defend it tightly and completely defeat the Iraqi plot, which is like Moscow in World War II, which will be a turning point in our great war." Rafsanjani said.

After sending off the Jews, Rafsanjani received shocking news: the Iraqi army, already on the offensive at night, had crossed the line of defense laid out on the perimeter and was coming in the direction of Tehran!

If it hadn't been for the conversation with Odo, Rafsanjani would have ordered the army in Tehran to prepare for street fighting, but now his mind is calmer.

"How many troops did they come? How many armored vehicles are there? Rafsanjani asked.

"The exact number is being counted." However, several of the companies we had placed on that line of defense had already suffered heavy casualties. ”

It's only been a few companies that have died, and I'm so shocked that I reported it to myself! Rafsanjani was a little angry, and suddenly, he thought of a situation that made him suspicious.

If the Iraqi army is really preparing to attack Tehran, then it will definitely break through on several lines of defense at the same time, and its own casualties, how can there be only so many companies? This is clearly a small force of the Iraqis, and it is definitely not their main force.

From the chaos of the battle, Rafsanjani was carefully sorting out his thoughts, and at the same time, his mind became clearer and clearer.

Until now, these actions in Iraq have been just feints, and their real goal is definitely not Tehran!

It seems that he really underestimated Cusai's guts.

"Order the Air Force to immediately take off reconnaissance planes and focus on reconnoitering whether there are signs of large-scale sorties by Iraq's armored forces at the junction of the western part of Zhongyāng Province and Hamadan."

"According to the report, the airport has been blown up today and is currently being repaired."

The Iraqis destroyed their own airfield, I'm afraid that's the purpose!

"Then take off the helicopter and immediately conduct reconnaissance, and at the same time, let the troops stationed in Zhongyāng Province immediately send scouts to check the situation on the route from Hamadan to Qom." Rafsanjani's face was a little scary.

In the night, the movements of the feint infantry battalion slowed down, and after advancing fifty kilometers, they almost stopped.

At the same time, in the darkness of the night, another main assault force, the powerful Iraqi armored forces, the 4th Panzer Division, with T-72 as the main battle equipment, began another of their long-range raids.

Tearing off the camouflage net that covered it, the 4th Panzer Division began to quietly advance in a southeasterly direction from the gap opened by the infantry battalion. To be continued
