Chapter 382: Swift Counterinsurgency
For thousands of years, although the Kurds no longer belong to a single country, and even the written language has been divided, the Kurds' desire to establish their own state has never been dashed!
Countless Kurdish villages are quietly armed, and many Kurdish strong young men have taken up arms, ready to fight bravely for the establishment of their country!
In Bassett's village, hundreds of young men had already picked up the rifles they had just been handed out, and their task was to fight the garrison in the nearest town with several nearby teams, where there were about a hundred Iraqi soldiers.
The rugged mountain road is nothing at all for the Kurds who are accustomed to it, and the Kurdish lad clenched the steel gun in his hand, thinking about what Shech had just said, took up arms and fought for our own Kurdish country!
In the minds of many Kurds, building an ideal state is the greatest thing.
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, they climbed over several hills, and when they came to the town, it was already midnight.
The weather was still very cold, but there was a fire burning in their hearts.
Bassett and the rest of the team converged, and they decided to attack together!
Although hunting is also a traditional way of life for the Kurds, there are still many people who have picked up a gun for the first time and just know how to fire bullets.
Bassett also had no experience, and the result of the discussion between several of them was to rush forward in a swarm!
Rush, rush forward! Kill the Iraqi forces and they can take it and regain a piece of Kurdish territory!
Halemi is just twenty-one years old, the age of the Kurds, who is already a father of two young children, and he has an M16 rifle in his hand, which is the best weapon selected from the Iranian aid, and the whole gun is very new and the rifling is not worn.
Holding this heavy rifle, the magazine was full of bullets, and Halemi didn't think much about it at this time, but just knew that he rushed forward!
In a dark town, everything is quiet, and it would be nice to be able to kill the Iraqis in your sleep.
Halemi had opened the safety and could get angry at any moment, and he took a big stride and ran inside.
Behind him, there are countless figures.
They don't know that they are on their way to extinction.
Halemi ran, ran, and suddenly, somehow tripped over something, slipped on his feet, and fell forward.
It was at this moment that he saw a scene that he would never forget.
I don't know when, suddenly in the darkness ahead, countless tongues of fire spit out, and fierce shooting sounds came.
The two BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles arranged on the outside of the town began to fire fiercely at the Kurds who rushed up, and on the turret of the infantry fighting vehicles, a 7.62mm ПКТ parallel machine gun next to the main gun began to pour bullets, and the Kurds who rushed up were shot and fell.
The 7.62 mm machine gun bullet hit the human body and immediately tore a large gap, and the Kurds were caught off guard and fell in a large area.
BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle! The pride of Saddam, Republican Guard!
When there were signs of rebellion in the north, Saddam Hussein sent the most elite Republican Guard, starting from Tikrit, along the road, to quickly rush to various places where war might break out, and brutally suppress it!
The bulky T-72 tanks could not reach quickly, so the first to arrive were nimble infantry fighting vehicles.
The two infantry fighting vehicles kept spitting out tongues of fire, and Halemi was very glad that if he hadn't tripped just now, he would have been shot down, and he fell so timely that no one noticed that he had tripped and thought that he had been shot and fell to the ground.
Bassett froze in the back, although he was mentally prepared, but he didn't expect that so many of his young men would fall like this?
In the darkness, there was a rumbling sound, and the two infantry fighting vehicles had already begun to start, strafing forward the Kurds who were still stupidly rushing up.
The Kurds are a peculiar people, once the blood surname is aroused, they will be fearless, and the fall of their brothers just now did not scare them away, but made them even more courageous to rush forward.
However, they did not succeed, because the outcome of a small arms fight against infantry fighting vehicles was very tragic, not to mention, they did not even have a bazooka!
"Quick, let's retreat!" Bassett knew that the most correct choice for him now was to withdraw from the fight, otherwise, in a few minutes, there would be no one left of his people.
Halemi looked at the behemoth that was driving in front of him, and looked there with hatred, the tongues of machine gun fire slaughtering incessantly, devouring the lives of his brothers.
with you! Halemi picked up the two grenades he had brought with him, looked at the silhouette that was approaching in the darkness, and suddenly jumped up, and at the same time, pulled the grenade tab, ran in the direction that the other party was coming from!
He couldn't throw it, and in the darkness, he couldn't see the exact location, and he was running forward with a grenade with the safety open.
The grenade is delayed by up to two seconds, otherwise it will cause damage to the thrower himself, but Halemi didn't even think about making it back alive!
At this time, the opponent was strafing the left side, and did not find Halemi running from the right.
When Halemi mentally counted to three, he ran right next to the infantry fighting vehicle, and he used the last second of his life to throw the grenade into the center of the infantry fighting vehicle's tracks.
Then, before he could dodge, in the violent explosion, accompanied by a huge wave of air, countless grenade fragments hit his body.
His body fell backwards, in front of him was the huge fire from the explosion just now, and in his mind, it was his own rough mother-in-law and two children... With the explosion, the tracks on one side of the infantry fighting vehicle broke, and it was suddenly impossible to move.
The hatch in the back of the infantry fighting vehicle opened, and the elite Republican Guard fighters inside leapt out to continue fighting the thugs who had begun to flee.
Completely one-sided battles, with a well-trained and well-equipped Republican Guard, coming to face a group of newly armed Kurdish thugs without any suspense.
The other infantry fighting vehicle also stopped moving forward, and the fact that the infantry fighting vehicle was in distress just now indicates that there may be a situation nearby, and it is more appropriate to let the infantry go down to fight.
The sky was getting brighter, and nearly a hundred corpses were left on the ground.
The Republican Guard, having completed the task of blocking it, began to carry out the second order issued by the president himself: no matter what signs of rebellion appear, while extinguishing it, it must make an example of every 100 people, and completely slaughter the entire tribe where the thugs are hiding!
Iraq has always taken a conniving attitude towards the Kurds, which is why the current situation has arisen, look at what Turkey is doing! Since the founding of the Republic of Turkey in 1923, the political axe has stated that there are no Kurds in Turkey, and that there are only "Turks who have forgotten their mother tongue and live in the mountains!" “。 The armed insurrection of the Kurds has always been suppressed by force!
At this time, Saddam Hussein had not yet revealed his true colors like the brazen invasion of Kuwait in later generations, but if you think that such a person is a very easy-going and easily regressive leader, it is completely wrong! If Saddam Hussein is a good person, how can Khomeini be so depressed.
Saddam Hussein has always been very tough and believed in violence and the use of violence, since the Kurds don't want to stay like this and want to build their own state, then let them pay the price!
The fighters of the Republican Guard repelled the attack, and at the same time, a counteroffensive began.
Anyone who sympathizes with and supports the rebellion must be dealt with once and for all!
The next day, they marched into the same villages that had attacked them yesterday and began to arrest the Kurds who had been identified by the intelligence agencies as sympathetic and supportive, and even went to the battlefield themselves and escaped.
In later generations, Saddam Hussein only began to deal with the Kurdish issue after the end of the Iran-Iraq war, and even used chemical weapons, which is very polite now.
A group of people were arrested one after another, and peace was restored.
Such scenes are being played out in different places, but in some places, the Kurds continue to resist, and as a result, everyone in the village, including the elderly and children, is slaughtered.
Saddam Hussein's vigorous and resolute style, and the powerful Republican Guard attacked boldly and quickly, and this wave of rebellion stirred up by the Iranians soon disappeared.
However, the initiator of the matter did not give up.
In a village in the north, several people have begun to deliberate.
"This time we have been suppressed, and Saddam Hussein is our worst enemy!"
"If Saddam Hussein is dead, then we can take advantage of the chaos!"
"Yes, we want to avenge the death of our compatriots! We organize a death squad, enter Baghdad, assassinate Saddam! ”
"We want to mobilize our people again, in order to build our country, bloodshed and sacrifice are inevitable, and we will never give up!"
The chairman of the Kurdish Mincho Party, with a blazing flame in his eyes, only by killing Saddam Hussein can the Iranians regain the lost territory, and at the same time invade Iraq, he will have a chance to establish his own country of the Kurds!
Although this uprising failed, it was mainly the ordinary Kurds who had just been armed that suffered losses, and the armed forces of the Mingzhu Party suffered very little losses, and there was still a chance to come again!
Those Kurds who have experienced brutal fighting will have a bitter hatred for Iraqis, and many of them will become reserve soldiers of his armed forces.
Now, in order to build his own country, it is time to give it a go, and Turkey's Ocalan is doing a very good job and cannot be left behind.
Kill Saddam! He's a murderer!
