The No.15 Armored Division is even more aggressive. Although they are equipped with backward T-62 tanks, their will to fight is also unprecedentedly high.

The Iranian army, which was blocking the defense line and wanted to surround and annihilate the cold and hungry Iraqi soldiers, suddenly discovered that the Iraqis had once again turned into ferocious wolves!

The Iranians on the offensive route of the No.15 Armored Division waited not for victory but for death.

The Iranians don't have heavy weapons at all. They only use those anti-tank missiles to destroy each other. However, in this cold weather, the time for them to operate such missiles is greatly extended. Many times, they are not ready, Iraq The tanks have already come up.

The No.15 Armored Division was in full swing, and soon attacked Bakhtaran!

Zhang Feng, who was behind, felt a little regretful after receiving the news.

If several infantry divisions coordinate well when they attack, then it is completely possible to counter-encircle the Iranians in the encirclement, and then cooperate with the first armored division returning to help to eliminate these Iranians.

It is actually not important to attack the city. It is more important to eliminate the Iranians' vitality. Now, the Iranians gather together, which is a good opportunity to destroy them. If they spread out again, they will run to those hills. Restoration of transport lines, this is a big threat.You know, the guerrillas are like wildfires that can't be burned out, and the spring wind blows and they are born again.

No.15 Armored Division, some are too anxious!If you are eager to do meritorious service, you may kill someone.

However, Zhang Feng knew that if he rescued these troubled troops and turned defeat into victory, his mission would be considered complete.

It's time to go back to the Southern Military Region, and many things are still waiting for him to deal with.

At this time, everyone in the northern military region knew that the invasion of Bakhtaran was imminent, and the greatest contribution was His Excellency Qusay. Without him, this army would have been very dangerous.

Saddam Hussein has praised Kusai several times in public, which is very intriguing.

However, Zhang Feng knew that he must not be complacent. It would be very dangerous if he showed arrogance.

As a friendly response, Zhang Feng notified the US side that at present, the hostages have been rescued by one of the several personnel he dispatched through his efforts. They are avoiding the lingering pursuers of Iran and are preparing to pass The northern border returns to Iraq.

President Reagan was very happy when he got the news. What he was most worried about was that an accident happened to the hostages. He could not explain to Congress or the American people. It has done something that the US military could not do.

For now, the CIA has not found the whereabouts of the hostages.

The United States curiously asked about the current location of the hostages and what happened, but was shirked by His Excellency Qusay, because they could not be contacted at any time, and for the sake of confidentiality, even His Excellency Qusay did not know where the hostages are now. After entering Iraq, he will notify the United States as soon as possible.

These are also reasonable.Because the Americans know that it is absolutely impossible for Iraq to deal with the United States together with Iran. Iran and Iraq are sworn enemies, and the hostages were undoubtedly kidnapped under the order of Khomeini. They have nothing to do with Iraq. The reason why Iraq was able to rescue the hostages , the possibility of coincidence is very high. Moreover, due to the war between Iraq and Iran, they already have a large number of intelligence personnel in the other side's territory and a complete intelligence network. Since the hostage incident at the embassy in the United States, all forces, It was cleared from Iran, so Iraq has these advantages in being able to rescue the hostages.

The hostage incident can finally be over!The Iraqis are really giving face!When President Reagan's hanging heart was about to let go, another wave rose again.

In this hostage incident, Iran did not gain any benefits, only the Boeing 707 aircraft that stayed at the airport, what use could it be?The weapons Iran needed were not available, and the repaired planes were all blown up. Even Bakhtaran is now going to be shot up by the Iraqis.

Khomeini was very angry. Those hostages who had accidents were probably done by the Americans themselves!Khomeini carefully analyzed what happened, and only the Americans themselves are the most likely to direct this play!

In this case, Khomeini thought secretly in his heart, then don't blame me for disclosing the whole thing!

On the day that Bakhtaran was invaded by Iraq, on November 11th, Iranian Foreign Minister Velayati delivered a televised speech that shocked the whole world.

"In the recent incident of hijackers taking hostages, we in Iran did the best mediation for this incident and successfully rescued several hostages. In exchange, the United States provided us with a series of weapons, Including spare parts of F-14 fighter jets, phoenix missiles, and various other weapons. However, we did not expect that the United States is the most rogue country in the world. They have promised us that after the hostages are released, they will be delivered to us A batch of about three ships of spare parts, the Americans sent special forces to hijack the rescued hostages we had transported to the Turkish border, and then lost these spare parts, we strongly protest this!"

Seeing the foreign minister with a turban around his mouth and a big hairy beard on TV, Reagan wanted to kill him with one shot!Totally spitting blood!

In this statement, Iran has completely presented itself as a peace-loving person, but I am afraid that no country will believe his words. Up to now, even people in the least developed regions know that it is a person named Khomeini's guys took hostages from the United States, and then asked the United States for weapons!

On the same day, the US foreign affairs department issued a statement that Iran's rhetoric was absolutely slanderous!After careful investigation by the United States, this hostage incident was all caused by Iran!With the support of Iran, two hijackers hijacked a passenger plane of American Civil Aviation, then flew to Beirut, refueled here, and then flew to Tehran, where the hostages fell into the hands of the Iranians.

Moreover, in order to deceive people, Khomeini of Iran deliberately played a decent image and released some of the hostages on the plane, just to blackmail the United States and hope that the United States will provide him with weapons!

Now that their conspiracy has gone bankrupt and the hostages have finally been rescued, they have come up with such a way to slander the United States, it is too much!We hope that the United Nations will authorize to strike against Iran!

The statement was very forceful. However, he only said that the hostages were rescued, how they were rescued, who rescued them, and where the hostages are now. He did not say anything.

Now, what the United States needs most is the support of His Excellency Qusay. As long as the hostages can return, then any slander will be powerless.

Because, in the country, there has been a surging dark wave. The United States has a two-party system, Reagan belongs to the Republican Party, and some people in the opposition mínzhǔ party want to use this to make a fuss, causing Reagan the same as Carter. .

Moreover, if the matter is true, then Reagan will definitely fall!

This kind of thing can be big or small.

The development of the matter up to now has been very consistent with the Iran-Contra in history. The only difference is that because of his own intervention, the Iran-Contra incident that almost ousted President Reagan from office happened much smaller than the historical scene.

In the previous life, it was Khomeini who benefited from the Iran-Contra, but in this incident, Iran did not benefit, and neither did the United States. As for how much benefit I can get, it depends on how I grasp it.

"Your Excellency Qusay, the American ambassador is here again," Gasal said.

Sure enough, I can't hold back anymore. It seems that the pressure on Reagan in the United States is not small!It was still not enough, the Iran Gate that almost capsized him in later generations, this time the movement was too small.Zhang Feng thought about it, and said: "Please come in."

Brightman has a lot of things on his mind, but how to hide his true feelings is also a very important knowledge to become a qualified diplomat.

"Your Excellency Qusay, I am very glad to meet you." Brightman said.

"Yes, with your contact last time, your country's transport plane successfully resupplied our troops. We are very grateful." Zhang Feng said.

"Yes, the United States and Iraq have a very deep friendship." Brightman said, when he said this, after thinking about it carefully, he didn't count a few things that could represent the deep friendship between the two sides.

"Yeah, we also attach great importance to the relationship with your country, so I hope you can explain to us clearly, those Iranian Tomcat fighter jets that have regained their combat effectiveness, and the Phoenix missiles that have become extinct in Iran, how to deal with them?" Appeared again all of a sudden?" Zhang Feng's tone was not very heavy, but his voice was stimulating Brightman's nerves.

"If the Iranian air force is not restored, then our important logistical supply line will not be interrupted. Our offensive has been delayed for half a month, and it has caused hundreds of redundant casualties. This is not a small fortune I hope your country can explain clearly."

I already knew that you were going to do such a stupid thing. Fortunately, I prevented it in advance. Anyway, it has already happened. The most important thing is how much benefits the Americans can give themselves!

In terms of morality, Zhang Feng has an absolute advantage. The Yankees did not behave properly this time. They gave the Iranians weapons, then beat themselves, and then called themselves brothers. From any point of view, the United States is at a loss.

Besides, even if the rogue country is unreasonable, they also know that those hostages are rescued by themselves. No one knows where the hostages go, and they don't know if there will be another accident!

Chapter 369 Kusai Lion's Big Opening

"I'm very sorry, the truth of this incident, we will definitely investigate clearly, where the Iranian parts and missiles came from, we will definitely give you an explanation, but this incident is of great importance, I hope you can tell me Please explain, the president, that the United States has always valued good relations with your country, and we don't want to see this kind of thing happen, please stay sensible and don't fall into Khomeini's tricks." Bligh Man said.

"I'm sorry, I can't explain this kind of thing." Zhang Feng said: "I believe that the Iraqi intelligence department has already got the news, and, as you know, our president is very loyal. If you know His most trusted American brother betrayed Iraq, and you know the consequences, I can't persuade the president, my influence here is not very big."

Brightman naturally knew, otherwise, why would he come to Zhang Feng? If he went directly to President Saddam, the matter would not be settled at all. Although Saddam is also a shrewd politician, he is even more violent. Or, only to find the most trusted person around him.

"Your Excellency Qusay, you are the president's son, and you have made great military achievements. If you explain to the president that we Americans have never sent weapons to Iran, the president will definitely believe you. Your current status in Iraq is second only to that of Iran. President Damm, and you will definitely be the ruler of Iraq in the future. Therefore, we in the United States trust you very much and attach great importance to friendly exchanges with you. We even exported important aircraft production lines to you. Isn’t this a living thing? example?"

"Only the aircraft production line, but my engine and avionics still have to be imported from your country. Whenever your country is unhappy, you will impose an embargo like at the beginning of the year." Zhang Feng said: "If your country wants to Show your sincerity, so why didn't you approve my plan to introduce the engine and avionics production line together last time?"

"This is a complete misunderstanding." Brightman explained: "Engine and avionics belong to the precision field, even if they are sold to your country's production line, relying on your country's skilled workers cannot produce qualified products. Our direct supply to your country is much cheaper than the high scrap rate produced by your country, we are completely for your country's sake."

In the manufacture of aircraft, engines and avionics are two core areas. Engines work under high temperature and high pressure. Only first-class designers can develop new engines. Iraq lacks such personnel, so it can only be imported. start.And avionics is the key to improving the combat capability of aircraft. It is also very reasonable for the Americans to hold on to these two aspects.

Zhang Feng, on the other hand, took advantage of this crisis to get the United States to agree to export these two things to him.Although all kinds of raw materials still have to be imported, the ownership of the production line is definitely a cross-age. Even if the United States turns its face in the future, raw materials can still be imported from the Soviet Union, Western Europe or China under various names. Moreover, with these equipments, future Engine overhaul and life extension will be very easy.

I have to thank Khomeini for giving myself this opportunity.

"Your Excellency Qusay, I am very sorry. We have no precedent of exporting the production line of engines and avionics equipment to a non-Western country. We really cannot agree to your request. However, I can apply for domestic and give you a preferential price Provide one hundred F404 engines and avionics equipment to meet your needs, so it will be all right?" Brightman said.

Iraq needs a total of 20 F-[-]s, and nearly [-] have been delivered. He will be provided with another [-] engines, so that even replacement engines will be available. Isn't he satisfied?
