Chapter 294: The Battle of Xiaolou
Chemical weapons are unconventional weapons that are prohibited by international conventions. As early as the Hague Conferences of 1899 and 1907, and in the 1925 Protocol of the Neiva, there was the Convention on the General Prohibition and Total Elimination of Chemical Weapons.
However, none of the belligerents took chemical weapons seriously.
Chemical weapons were used on a large scale in the First World War, and more than 40 kinds of poisons were used, including chlorine, phosgene, diphosgene, chloropicrine, diphenylchloroarsine, hydrocyanic acid, mustard gas, etc., with a dosage of 120,000 tons and about 1.3 million casualties, accounting for one-twentieth of the total number of war casualties.
During the Second World War, the major powers not only accelerated the production and stockpiling of original poisons and their ammunition, but also intensified the research and development of new agents. Among them, it is the nerve surname poison that has made substantial progress; In the Asian theater, the company has repeatedly used chemical weapons against our country, causing a large number of casualties, and the notorious Unit 731 is such a murderous demon.
After World War II, local wars and large-scale armed conflicts continued to occur in the world, such as the U.S. invasion of North Korea, the U.S. invasion of Vietnam, and the former Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan.
The preparation is simple, only need to have a large pesticide factory, import some drugs in various names, can be made into chemical weapons, and if used properly, it will bring huge casualties, therefore, chemical weapons have been used, this demon from hell, constantly killing and injuring the lives of soldiers on both sides of the war.
The three men knew that they had a very heavy burden on their shoulders, and that they wanted to find out the chemical weapons stored in the port of Khomeini so as not to bring greater costs to their own side, and that they were pressed for time and did not inform the others.
This is a very ordinary building, with the help of night vision devices, they are carefully searching, and the strange thing is that there is not a single soldier on the entire third floor.
Is there no one else but those two snipers? Abed is very strange.
They didn't dare to be careless, and carefully searched the entire third floor, but still found no one else.
Abed, with Amin and Saleh, went to the second floor.
At this moment, a sound was heard coming from the stairs below.
Finally someone is coming!
They immediately lay in ambush at the top of the stairs, listening to the footsteps, and there were only two people at most.
"I have to go to the changing of the guard again, and staying on it for a day is really terrible!"
"You can't say that, if the company commander finds out, I'm afraid we'll be shot!"
"I heard that there seem to be Iraqi snipers in the defense zone today, and the company commander told us to be careful."
"It's just an empty neighborhood of ours, and the highest point is occupied by us, where will there be snipers to send them to death!"
The two men who came were two gunmen from an Iranian company stationed in the port of Khomeini, and they needed to go up to change the guard, but they were still not very happy, as long as they got to it, they had to stay all day, and they couldn't make any movement during the day, it was too difficult.
But it was their duty to surround the port of Khomeini, and they had to do it, and it was just a matter of scratching their hair, and after being in this little building for so long, everyone would become very irritable.
They didn't have flashlights, and they were able to walk in the dark, depending on their familiarity with the place, but they didn't expect that in the darkness, there were already a few people hiding who could kill them.
In the night vision device, the two figures were very clear, and there were no other people behind them, Abed knew Persian, and he had heard the conversation between the two people just now, there was a company stationed here, less than a hundred people, and they were only three people.
Amin was watching from behind, and Abed and Saleh were already quietly following.
Strangely, one of them heard movement behind him and turned his head to look back.
Nothing, and the movement was gone.
Perhaps because of his bad ears, he turned his head and walked forward.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a big hand stretched out and grabbed his neck hard, he struggled desperately, to no avail, his breathing became tighter and tighter, and he was about to be strangled.
Then, he heard a click next to him, this sound, made his heart nervous, it was the sound of his neck being twisted, he knew that his companion had been reimbursed just now.
Can't you escape the fate of being killed?
Suddenly, he heard a voice behind him say, "I ask you a question, you answer, don't make a noise, otherwise, I will kill you immediately!" ”
Abed knew that by interrogating this person, he could know the deployment of Iranian forces below, which would be very helpful for his next phase of operation.
The captive man immediately nodded frequently, and Abed's hand slowly loosened.
"Enemy attack! The Iraqis are coming! As soon as he let go of his hand, the Iranian shouted.
"Phew!" A sharp dagger plunged into the other person's chest, and he felt the blood surging out of control in his body, surging everywhere, but he could no longer speak.
It's a mess! I originally wanted to kill the other party after interrogating him, but I didn't expect that before I started the questioning, the other party shouted out, and this time it was completely exposed.
There was already a rattling sound below.
The Iranians, soon they will rush up!
What to do? Abed's quickening of wisdom made him look at the window next to him, and immediately took the lead and climbed out of the window.
When I came up just now, I climbed up the sewer outside the window, and now, I climbed down the pipe to the second floor!
Saleh was the last to come out and threw two grenades at the top of the staircase.
The Iranian GIs below heard the shouts from above and knew that something was wrong, and they took up their arms one after another and rushed up from the staircase.
Who knows, before he has taken two steps, he hears two voices coming down from the bones above.
Not good, it's a grenade!
In the dark, they had nowhere to hide, and they didn't know where the grenade had been dropped.
"Boom, boom!" Suddenly, there were two explosions, and in the small space, the lethality was amazing, and more than a dozen people fell down at once.
Mixed with cries of pain, the remaining people rushed to the third floor.
In the flashlight, there was nothing, except for the two people who had just fallen and were about to change the guard.
One of them was twisted alive, which shows the cruelty of the other party, and the other person was stabbed in a big hole with a dagger, and it was this person who shouted and reported the news just now.
They picked up his companion, who had been stabbed in a hole by a dagger, and saw that he wanted to say something, but blood kept gushing out, and his life was about to end, but his eyes were still looking at the open window, and his mouth was trying to say something with all his strength.
The company commander also came up, followed his gaze, and immediately found the open window.
"They jumped out of the window and ran away, chase them, be sure to catch them!"
I'm afraid they already know about the chemical weapons here, so they have to kill these people, otherwise, the next day, I'm afraid that Iraqi warplanes will fly over.
Several people rushed to the window, risking their lives and shining flashlights everywhere.
It was empty outside, there was nothing.
Where did those people go?
"Smack, smack!" Suddenly, on the second floor below, two gunshots rang out.
Oops, the other party ran to the second floor! How did they get by?
"Quick, go down to the second floor, you must catch them!" The company commander shouted.
If they go down to the first floor and then down to the basement, then all those chemical weapons will be exposed to them.
Abed climbed to the second floor and looked inside the window, but there was no one.
Everyone ran to the third floor.
He opened the window and went into this room on the second floor.
When he opened the door, he saw two people standing on the stairs outside, and the sound of him opening the door just now made these two people vigilant.
Amin and Saleh, who were in the back, also came in, and they immediately ran to the first floor.
The three-story building is the same, and the rooms are the same, just now they searched the three floors carefully, so when they got to the first floor, they were also very familiar with it.
There are several rooms with doors on both sides, which can be connected.
Just in time for an ambush!
The Iranian GIs were furious, they saw that two of their companions had fallen again, having already lost almost twenty men, and still did not see the enemy!
Where are they?
The hallway was empty again, nothing.
"Search!" The company commander ordered.
The doors of the rooms on the second floor were opened one by one, but there was nothing inside.
Where are they?
Remembering the transfer of the tiger from the mountain just now, the company commander ordered: "First platoon, go down to the first floor to search, the second platoon is on the second floor, the third platoon goes up to the third floor, find the enemy, kill it immediately!" ”
The second floor is gone, maybe the other party is on the first or third floor, and when the time comes, they will be shot coldly again.
He didn't know, and it was even more wrong to do so, because there were only two dozen people left in a row, although the other party was three people, but the other party had an advantage, and they could see it clearly in this dark night!
"Boom!" The door of a room was pushed open, and several Iranian GIs walked in.
Suddenly, one of the GIs who entered at the back felt a chill in his back, and at some point, the dagger he himself carried on his belt had been inserted into his own back.
"Poof!" He fell to the ground, and a few people in front of him realized that something was wrong in the back.
Further back, no one can be found.
Having learned from the experience just now, they have stopped using guns, but instead used daggers or both hands, and killed each other with great ease.
However, Abed has this skill, Amin is okay, Saleh is the worst, ordinary soldiers, although they have been trained, after all, they cannot be compared with professional special forces.
However, it is not a problem at all to deal with the two dozen or so dizzy Iranians with mental calculations or unintentionalities.
Soon, there was no sound below.
The company commander waited on it, the third floor had already been searched, and the second floor had also completed the task, but the first floor had not heard a sound for a long time.
"Two rows and three rows, each with one shift to the next floor." The company commander ordered.
He didn't know that refueling tactics were the stupidest.
