Baghdad, Ministry of Defense. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧

On this night, when most people have fallen asleep, the lights are still bright in the Ministry of Defense.

This night is the night of Iraq's miracles, many battlefields, are fighting, tonight's battle, related to tomorrow's follow-up development, all people are waiting for the progress of the front line, analyzing these aspects of the battle.

Now, it's two o'clock in the morning.

Kusai looks calm on the surface, and at times like these, he has to act like a master and build confidence in those below.

Wars and exercises, after all, are different, and it is impossible to develop according to one's own plan every time. And now, the war situation in the Middle East has been rewritten beyond recognition by him, and those histories will not be rewritten.

The attack on Tehran was a large-scale campaign carefully planned by the entire Ministry of Defense, and although a great deal of work had been done in advance, great progress had been made in actual combat, with the successful transfer of Iranian troops from Tehran, the successful paratroopers, and the successful removal of government buildings. ≦≧

However, the battles in the other two directions did not go as smoothly as originally planned. Iran's Ministry of Defense building is a hard nut, although two-thirds of the troops of the third airborne battalion have been transferred to attack the Ministry of Defense, plus the Crescent special forces, and nearly twenty helicopter gunships, they still did not break into the Ministry of Defense building, and the resistance of the other side is very tenacious, beyond their imagination. However, this also proves that there should be key Iranian figures in the Ministry of Defense building, and they will definitely gain a lot this time.

And at the Tehran air base, which was a strategic point to which he paid more attention, two airborne battalions were dropped here, and the battle began very smoothly, successfully taking the entire airfield.

Next, it was time for the second batch of transport planes to land and transport heavy armored equipment, with which they could be immediately transferred to attack the Ministry of Defense building, and the pure infantry carried out the storm, which had great drawbacks.

However, no one thought that the commander of Tehran would dare to send all the reserve forces to the Tehran air base!

Moreover, the other side dispatched very quickly, if it was half an hour late, its own transport planes would have already transported a batch of heavy troops, in that case, there would be no need to be afraid of the Iranian attack troops, no matter how many people on the other side were, they were just ordinary infantry, and they could be easily defeated with armored forces, but the paratroopers who were airdropped over were only ordinary infantry, although they were the elite of the infantry, and they could not be ten by one. ≦≧

What's more, the airfields are very empty, and without suitable fortifications to rely on, it is unwise to hold on, and Qusay is very satisfied with the strategy of the commander on the spot.

It's just that, in this way, the whole attack was delayed, and what Qusay was worried about was not how the Iranian army would counterattack, as long as the Iranian reinforcements that were transferred out were surrounded, the remaining defenders in Tehran would not make too many waves. Moreover, the remaining main forces of the defenders were wiped out at the airfield, which was still of great benefit to the battle for the liberation of Tehran.

Qusay is only worried that the failure to quickly resolve the fighting in Tehran will create a disadvantage for the international community.

Because the Iranian government has gone against the grain and done some major things that have seriously hurt the interests of Western countries, and the blockade of the Persian Gulf has aroused public outrage, the United States, including the United States, has always adopted a supportive attitude toward Iraq's invasion of Iran.

However, after all, Iran is a big country in the Middle East, with a vast territory and a large population, and it is rich in oil production, and after Iraq occupies the southern Iranian province of Khuzestan Province, Iraq's existing total crude oil reserves have surpassed Saudi Arabia's, and oil production will steadily rise with the end of the war and return to the share given by OPEC. ≦≧

It's just that, unlike Saudi Arabia, Iraq has not fully shown its pro-American intentions until now, and now the United States is helping Iraq just to confront the current Iranian government, but taking Tehran means the fall of the current government, will the United States jump out and point fingers at the current situation in Iran, hoping to support a pro-Western government?

Therefore, Qusay chose this time, at this time, the American army is still looking for the defenders of Grenada in the jungle of Grenada Island, the Soviets are still active on the battlefield in Grenada, and the American ** team seems to have found that they are not only facing the Grenada government army, the Cuban army, but also a small number of elite Soviet soldiers, but, in order to avoid the escalation of the conflict, they still regard the opposite army as purebred Grenadans.

The attention of the US military, deliberately pushed by Qusay, has been directed to Grenada, and they are still increasing their troops in Grenada despite the public opinion of the whole world's accusations.

So, in this case, Qusay hopes that the fighting in Tehran will be resolved quickly, and then, a new Iranian government, will be formally established in Tehran. ≦≧

In the capital of Iran, Iran's own organization has set up its own government, and all this will become Iran's internal affairs, and then all the countries in the Middle East will recognize this new regime, and at that time, even if the US government wants to support another force, I am afraid they will not have a chance.

All this must be based on one premise: fast!

To take Tehran, to eliminate the current regime, and to establish a new regime, we must be quick, before the Western forces find out, before they can react, and establish all the facts so that they cannot react.

Therefore, this night's battle is very crucial.

The battle on the front line is still going on.

"Where is the current Iranian National Liberation Army advancing?" Qusay asked.

"It has already reached a distance of only five kilometers from the Tehran airbase. ≦≧," said a staff officer.

"Let them speed up, get to the air base as soon as possible, help the airborne regiment retake the airfield, and be quick, we must transport the first batch of heavy troops into the theater of operations by transport planes before dawn." Qusay said.

"Yes."

"Where has the 1st Panzer Division advanced?"

"It has already crossed from the junction of Qazvin and the Central Province into the border with Tehran, and by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, it can reach Tehran."

The 1st Panzer Division was from Hamadan, and this pace was no longer slow.

"The 1st Armored Division, be sure to enter Tehran by 12 o'clock tomorrow afternoon." "It's a military order," Qusay said. ”

"Yes."

"What is the situation with the 4th Panzer Division?"

"They are about to complete the encirclement of Iranian reinforcements, and the battle is about to begin."

"Okay, we must destroy this enemy." Kusai clenched his fists.

In any case, this time we must achieve our strategic goals, occupy Tehran and establish a new government!

In the darkness, Rajawi Mohammed's heart was on fire, and his team, moving forward, the M48 tanks at the front, were ready for battle, because they were approaching their destination: Tehran Air Base, where the faint sound of gunfire proved that the battle was going on.

Finally came to the capital of Iran, they want to liberate here, they want to liberate the whole of Iran!

No one would know that even the CIA was unconscious, and a KH-11 "keyhole" reconnaissance satellite, flying in a predetermined orbit, happened to pass over the Middle East. Compared with other spy satellites, this kind of satellite no longer uses film, and it takes a certain amount of time to take the film after falling and recovering through the recovery device, it belongs to the real-time photographic reconnaissance satellite of the digital image transmission type, that is to say, it is taken by the "imaging remote sensor" on the satellite through the scanning method of the ground scene image, and these "high-quality long-distance photographic television signals" are transmitted to the ground satellite receiving station in real time by means of digital image transmission, so, The CIA's National Image Interpretation Center in Washington has immediate access to the country's various areas of the country's immediate developments, and the credibility and real-time nature of the intelligence is very high.

Because it was night, this kind of satellite, which was not equipped with synthetic aperture radar and only took pictures, when it swept over the area, most of the images scanned were black and useless, it just faithfully carried out its own orders, used its own remote sensing device, aimed at the land, and inadvertently, glided past Tehran.

In the dark, Tehran and several surrounding areas are bright.

An officer on duty was leisurely stirring the coffee cup in his hand with a coffee spoon, and the freshly brewed coffee emitted a rich aroma, and he was just about to put the coffee to his lips, when suddenly, his eyes were fixed on the screen.

He noticed that there were some spots of light on one of the satellite images, and as a trained ground reader, he immediately felt something was not right.

What is that?

He put down the coffee cup, put his hand on the worktop, and operated the joystick, and the image slowly became clearer.

He is still relatively familiar with the terrain of Tehran, and now, the places where those fires appear are the Ministry of Defense in Tehran, the government building, and the Tehran Air Base outside.

Although there may be Iranians who have not had enough fun to set fires just after the fire jumping festival in Iran, the light of the fire can make the satellites in the sky find that even if it is dark, it must reach a sufficient brightness, and this brightness is only possible with weapons, only the fire of bomb explosions.

That is, Tehran is going through a battle!

As an image reader, he is only responsible for judging the images and reporting the most valuable information to the higher authorities, and it is completely irrelevant to him as to what is decided.

However, he was secretly prepared to leave a copy for an organization to which he was allegiated, because he had another identity, he was a Jew!
