Chapter 553: Attack on the Government Building and the Ministry of Defense Building

readx;

Sliding down the rope, the fighters of the Sidewinder special forces, who were very experienced in combat, divided into several groups and began to move closer to the government building, and behind them, the airborne troops were also rushing to the battlefield. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info≦≧

In the center of the main street in front of the government building, there is a fortification that the Iranians have built in recent days to prepare for street fighting, but their tactical thinking, apparently still stuck in the stage of World War II, is a machine gun emplacement with some sandbags, and two heavy machine guns are mounted there, just enough to block the streets on both sides.

However, due to the large number of buildings on both sides, in order to avoid accidental injury, the gunship did not fire rockets, and had to be handed over to the fighters of the special forces to solve.

At this time, the battle on the side of the Ministry of Defense has begun, and Tehran is surrounded by firefights, only on the side of the government building, there is no movement for the time being, and it is guarded by two Iranian infantry companies.

The main forces have been transferred out, and Tehran is not in danger for the time being, so there are not many troops defending everywhere, and the most powerful force has been transferred by Rafsanjani to support the airfield, so the two infantry companies listened to the gunfire around them with trepidation, hoping that their side could survive the night safely.

Although helicopters flew through the sky from time to time, they were not attacked, which gave them some psychological comfort that they were safe. ≦≧

They didn't know that around them, there were already more eyes staring at them.

In the middle of the block, two heavy machine guns, eight Iranian soldiers, at the entrance of the government building, six Iranian soldiers, two on the roof of the building, who are supposed to be snipers, the rest of the personnel are unknown, most likely in the building.

Within a few minutes, the Rattlesnake special forces figured out the deployment of the Iranians, and at the same time, more than 200 paratroopers also arrived here, and they immediately began to act according to the third set of combat plans.

"Two hundred and fifty meters away, ready for launch." Warich whispered.

Next to him, a member of the special forces, five big and three thick, was lying on the ground, operating the anti-tank missile he carried, aiming at the fortification in the center of the block.

Seeing him, Warich can always think of that swaggering Hades, but unfortunately, Hades has left the Sidewinder special forces to become the captain of the newly formed Marine Corps of the Navy.

"The action begins." Warich shouted over the radio. ≦≧

"Phew!" A tongue of fire came out, and an anti-tank missile was launched.

At the same time, sniper gunfire rang out, and the two Iranian soldiers at the top of the government building were killed in the first place.

Then, with a loud bang, the fortification in the middle of the street flew into the sky with the sound of an explosion, and the anti-tank missiles that could tear through the frontal armor of the tank were used to hit the concrete fortifications, not to mention the fortifications built with sandbags, and several Iranian soldiers in it were all killed on their positions before they could open fire.

Countless tongues of fire lit up the night sky in an instant, and the battle to attack the government building officially began.

Relying on the buildings on both sides of the street, the warriors of Iraq are approaching the building, a distance of a few hundred meters, for them, it is only a matter of a minute or two.

Moreover, both sides of the street are almost also blind spots for the defenders on the building, who either come out or stay inside and wait for their side to rush in and eliminate them.

Suddenly, a tongue of fire erupted from a window in a residential building opposite the government building, and several paratroopers who had just approached a few dozen meters of the government building were unfortunately shot. ≦≧

Damn the Iranians! I didn't expect that they would actually set up fire points on residential buildings!

"The first group, enter the firepower point of the residential building and kill the other party." Warich shouted over the radio. That firing point was so cleverly arranged that you couldn't move forward without knocking it out.

However, if you rush forward, you must first be exposed to the opponent's firepower.

"I'll kill him!" The anti-tank missile launcher had already reversed course and aimed at the window that was spitting tongues of fire, and was about to launch a second missile.

"No, that would hurt the innocent Iranian citizens next to you." Warich said.

Before attacking Tehran, they were ordered not to harm innocent Iranian citizens, and while doing so would have tied the hands of the soldiers, it would have great political significance for them to take over the ruling of the Iranian capital.

Warich also knew that his orders would cost him his men, but he had to do so.

"A few Iranian pariahs, where the lives of our teammates matter!" This missile launcher said a word in his mouth and launched the missile without hesitation. ≦≧

This is battlefield disobedience! Warish really wanted to shoot him, but he knew that this team member actually had a point, and how could he be willing to follow his own men's blood in vain?

The missile flew very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was in the window with a tongue of fire, and then there was an explosion.

However, the explosion was so violent that it not only succeeded in killing this firepower point, but also suffered from the left and right, and the brick and concrete buildings could not withstand the bombardment of anti-tank missiles at all.

Two missiles were fired in quick succession, and the daring Sidewinder Special Forces member began to pack up his equipment and prepare to change locations to prevent being attacked by snipers.

Warish looked at this guy and actually liked this subordinate of his own.

The firing point was taken out, and the fighters, who were so suppressed that they could not raise their heads, ran towards the government building again. ≦≧

Before entering the building, they alternate cover, while constantly looking around with night vision devices to prevent a hidden point of fire from appearing somewhere.

The gunfire had become sparse, and they managed to get inside the building.

Since it was night, there were almost no staff inside the building, and the occupation of the government building was more symbolic, the occupation of the core of power of a country, the seat of the political center of a country, then, almost speaking, represented the dignity of the country.

Entering the building, the fighters of the Sidewinder special forces and the paratroopers supporting them immediately searched the entire building, and in addition to finding a few Iranians on duty in the building, the remaining soldiers of the Iranian guards had already run away.

That firepower point was collapsed just now, and the personnel were buried alive, which gave the Iranian defenders here too much shock, they knew that with their own strength, they could not hold this place, and the higher authorities did not give them assistance, let them die here? Unable to overcome the fear of death, they chose to flee.

Compared to the Rattlesnake special forces, the Crescent special forces are troublesome.

Because, the resistance of the Ministry of Defense, is very strong.

Guarding the Ministry of Defense is an Iranian infantry battalion, and they know that the place they hold on to is the place that Iranian soldiers yearn for the most, the supreme capital of Iran's military power, and this place, for them, is sacred.

Moreover, in the underground fortifications here, their supreme leader, President Rafsanjani, was directing the battle, and with such a senior leader, they burst out with all their courage.

The area around the Ministry of Defense building is relatively empty, so it has been repeatedly cared for by helicopter gunships, rockets, anti-tank missiles, and beckoning to the building one by one, until the seven-story building has been cut off by one layer, and the northeast corner has collapsed, and the Iranian fighters inside are still holding on.

The one hundred and fifty fighters of the Crescent Special Forces have already suffered more than ten casualties, and the loss of each fighter has made the captain Captain Heidler feel distressed, the fighters of the Special Forces, that is, after repeated training and actual combat, each one is his most valuable asset, and it is consumed in this place. And the more than 400 paratroopers who supported them have already suffered more than 50 casualties. In the same way, paratroopers are elite.

They had already made three assaults, and each time they were beaten back, and if it had been an ordinary unit, the casualties would have been even greater.

Space is open around the building of the Ministry of Defense! Although this is conducive to fire support from the sky, it also makes it impossible for the attacking Iraqi soldiers to find suitable shelter, and the danger of being exposed is great.

It would be nice if there were armored vehicles! Captain Heidler thought in his heart that they were all lightly armed this time, and it was impossible for them to carry armored vehicles from the sky, which led to the lack of assault forces, knowing that the other side did not have heavy weapons, as long as they had armored vehicles to cover, they could rush into the Ministry of Defense building, but they could only be helpless outside.

Until the second batch of transport planes landed at the Tehran airbase, they could not get armored vehicles, they had to rely on themselves.

Why are the Iranians on the opposite side so desperate, the whole building is going to collapse, and they are still hiding inside and not coming out! If the Iraqi Air Force had a sufficient yield of precision-guided bombs, Captain Heidler would have called in the Air Force attack planes and dropped the bombs to completely flatten the place.

"Captain, we can't attack like this." The commander of the 3rd Battalion of paratroopers came over and said to Captain Heidler, who was hiding in a newsstand on the side of the street: "We have to think of something else. ”

"What's the solution?" Heidler asked.

The paratrooper battalion commander pointed to the helicopter in the sky, and then to the roof of the Ministry of Defense building.

Heideler understood, and the other party was telling them to take a helicopter and land on the roof of the building.

Seeing that there were still tongues of fire coming out of the roof, Heideler knew that it was very dangerous to land like this, but it was better than being pressed and beaten here.

"Call the helicopter, land in the rear, we need to board the plane." Heideler said to the vice-captain beside him.

"My men are also trained to land, and we have fifty of us each." said the commander of the paratrooper battalion.

Do you want to take credit, or do you want to grab danger? Heidler's face was calm and he said, "Yes, but my people have to land first." ”
