Chapter 59: The Return of the Hero

Basra, Southern Military District Command.

"What, there's no news of Qusay yet?" Izzat asked with a blushing face.

"The ground forces of the 35th Brigade are still searching, and the helicopters in the sky are also searching, and an hour ago, three Type 63 armored vehicles were found when His Excellency Qusay set out, one of which was very close to the bombed-out supply base, but no one was found on the armored vehicle." Chief of Staff Fath Harad replied.

With the help of air power, the 35th Brigade completed a glorious victory, one of their brigades blocked a division's armored units head-on, and then, captured nearly 1,000 Iranian soldiers, captured more than 50 Chieftain tanks, nearly 100 American-made M113 armored vehicles, and captured more than a dozen senior commanders of the opposing side except for division commander Rajavi. This armored division was eliminated in a systematic manner, and this was the first time in the war in the past year or so.

Because of this victory, the Southern Military Region will be commended by the president, especially the officers and men of the 35th Brigade, who suffered nearly half of the casualties, and the president has ordered the expansion of the 35th Brigade into the 35th Armored Division, equipping them with advanced weapons to encourage the heroic performance of the 35th Brigade in this battle.

However, Izzat knew that these halos were superficial, and their blocking made an unforgivable mistake: to let the son of His Excellency the President fall into the battlefield and his whereabouts are unknown.

Although each has its own difficulties, if His Excellency Qusay has any strengths and weaknesses, don't look at the president's praise of the 35th Brigade on the surface, I am afraid that he has already begun to make up his mind in his heart, and I don't know if there will be another purge to kill those he feels are disloyal.

Although Izzat is Saddam's younger brother, I am afraid that he will also be implicated.

Therefore, although the battle was over, the six Hind helicopters did not return immediately, in the name of patrolling the battlefield, searching for the whereabouts of Qusay, and the exhausted 35th Brigade, in addition to escorting prisoners, also began to search the swamp with a dragnet.

Izzat knew that this time it was his own negligence, at this time, Qusay, who was still a teenager and would not be eighteen years old in another year, but had already shown outstanding military talent and keen battlefield instincts.

This Kusai is like a god! This is the sigh of Izzat's heart.

I never believed that the Iranians would attack from that place, it was simply impossible, how could the Iranians make such a low-level mistake? It was a swamp that was impassable for tanks.

Who knows, the myth of the Arabian Nights, on the huge and heavy Hetainkh tank in Iran, actually did it, when it was learned that the Iranians used reeds to solidify the road, and even threw cement to solidify the road, Izzat couldn't believe it, bold, eclectic, the Iranians seemed to have become military geniuses.

If there is no Qusai to come to the Southern Military Region and no Qusai to the 35th Brigade, then the situation in the south at this moment may have been rotten.

After the swamp, it is a flat river, and the powerful armored forces of the Iranians will stab them in the back, cross Hamid, along the Karen River, and enter Abadan from the north, besieging Abadan, which has not been defeated for more than a year.

In this sense, Qusay is a miracle, he went deep into the swamp, risked his life, spied on the Iranians' armored forces, and blew up the opponent's base, although it was not confirmed by Qusay himself, but from all indications, it is inferred that Qusay's team must have attacked the opponent's logistics base, igniting the countless fuel and ammunition.

Otherwise, with the backward T-62 tanks of the 35th Brigade, it would not be able to stop the opponent's attack at all, and Muhammad also said that the battle on the evening of the first day was very lucky, and the other side suddenly retreated for some reason, presumably at that time, the opponent's oil was bombed.

Otherwise, on the first night, the Iranians would have come out of the swamp, like a tiger released from a cage, and the consequences would be severe.

It was the outstanding actions of Qusay that saved the 35th Brigade.

Correct and resolute behavior, strict and careful thinking, and desperate behavior like a gambler, is this his nephew who is not yet eighteen years old?

He is simply the pride of the Iraqi people, the condor of the army!

Suddenly, the phone on the table rang.

A staff officer picked up the phone: "Hey, what? Found Mr. Qusay? Where is it? ”

When Izzat heard it, he took the phone: "I am the commander of the military district, where is Qusay?" ”

"Commander, I'm Marwan, and we're at the Basra Central Hospital right now."

"Smack!" Izzat put down the phone, "Let's go, let's go to the hospital." With that, he ran out.

Qusay went to the hospital? Don't make a big deal!

Marwan heard a beep coming from inside the microphone and hung up the phone helplessly. It seems that in the eyes of the commander, Qusay is very important.

Zhang Feng piloted the huge Chinook helicopter, and at the same time prayed to Allah, God, and Buddha in his heart, hoping that they would bless his safety.

If under other circumstances, Zhang Feng felt that he could still control his own destiny, but in this helicopter, he had no confidence at all.

Fortunately, this Chinook is very face-saving, and not a single red light is on.

Zhang Feng first went west, flew out of the swamp, and then went south, although he could read the radio compass, but also a little lost, due to the influence of crosswinds, although he flew south, but the actual course was southwest.

By mistake, I actually saw the Shatt al-Arab, and flew along the river all the way to Basra.

With Zhang Feng's level, there is no way to fly in the city, and those buildings and wires are a huge threat to him.

Therefore, Zhang Feng landed Chinook on Highway No. 6, a few miles away from Basra, sent several soldiers to guard the plane, hijacked the car on the highway, and went directly into Basra and came to the largest central hospital.

Zhang Feng is most concerned about his injured subordinates, especially Nierhe, whose leg injury is too serious, and he has lost too much blood, and has entered a coma stage at this time, hoping that the doctor can save his life in the operating room.

While waiting in the hospital, Marwan dialed the military district.

Izzat and his men jumped into the car and immediately drove to the central hospital.

Qusay, don't scare me, if something happens to you, how can I explain to the president?

At this time, it was common to maintain rule by family ties in Iraq, and almost all the key departments of Saddam's regime were controlled by his cronies, and his most elite Republican Guard came from his hometown of Tikrik.

Qusay is also Izzat's nephew, and Izzat cares a lot.

The commander of the military region personally dispatched, and several escort vehicles followed him to protect his safety, and although the operation was relatively hasty, they were still prepared for prevention.

When Izzat walked into the central hospital, he saw Zhang Feng standing in the hall, at this time, the hospital had been put under martial law by the police who arrived in advance, and Zhang Feng already knew that his uncle was coming in person.

A one-piece flight suit brought out the resolute and resolute Kusai, at this time, his face was already full of exhaustion, and all parts of his body were still intact.

"Abdullah, it's such a pleasure to meet you, I've been worried about your safety for days." Izzat said.

"Uncle!" Zhang Feng knew that Izzat at this moment was telling the truth.

There was a false alarm, and it turned out that Cusay was fine.
