If the division commander is gone, this army, which does not have much combat effectiveness, may be in danger of disintegrating.

Wahari wiped the blood off his face, sat up, and said, "I have no problem. The number of Iraqi airborne troops will not exceed [-]. Our division must retake the airport as soon as possible."

Hearing the division commander's affirmation, the division staff who followed the division commander were all refreshed. The division commander was not harmed, and there were much fewer Iraqis on the opposite side than expected!

Attack, attack!

Because of being bombed by planes, and because the division commander was attacked by the shameful Iraqis by pretending to be deserters, the Iranians were angry. They were no longer afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, and they were full of fighting spirit!

"Your reinforcements came really fast." On the airport tower, Abed, the head of the airborne regiment, said to the captured base commander: "However, we will kill them all! It's a pity that you can't see it. "

The sentinels who were investigating in front had already sent back reports. They found a large number of Iranian armed forces approaching in the east, south, and north, but for some reason, they left the west without attacking.

Therefore, Abed has already formulated a battle plan. The opponent has a large number of people, and his own side does not have heavy weapons. Frontal combat is not good for one's own side.

"Attention, our mission is to eliminate these Iranians while protecting ourselves. If the airport is lost, we can regain it." Abed issued an order to his subordinates.

There is no chance to construct fortifications, no armored vehicles and other heavy equipment, and it is undoubtedly very unwise to confront these wolf-like Iranians head-on with only flesh and blood. The assigned task is to seize this airport so that subsequent transport planes can land and transport heavy equipment and reinforcements. But now that the Iranian reinforcements are coming very quickly, it would be foolish for them to stick to this airport and fight for every inch of land.

If it was very troublesome to do this in the Saddam era, the superiors would suspect that there was a problem with loyalty, they could not strictly implement the orders of the superiors, and they would even be said to be war-afraid, which made their operations very dogmatic and passive, lacking in adaptability .

But His Excellency Qusay never did this. He gave the troops on the battlefield a lot of autonomy, and one of his representative arguments was that fighting requires brains, and you need to use as little energy as possible. Casualties, in exchange for greater victories!

Therefore, Abed had an idea, and sent his own police guards who were proficient in Persian to pretend to be airport guards who had fled. After meeting the Iranian reinforcements, they began to say that the airport had been completely occupied. Strong, scaring off the Iranians who come for reinforcements is the best.

If you can't, then kill the Iranian commanders and make them mess up!

However, this little strategy doesn't seem to be working. The cleverness on the battlefield may not work, and you have to rely on your real strength to fight.

Come on, the heroic Iraqi airborne troops are fully capable of completing this arduous combat mission!

"Attention, the Iranians are coming up." On the east side of the airport, the soldiers of the first battalion arranged here all clenched their weapons. They were staring at the front, and there were already faint footsteps.

With the help of night vision goggles, the Iraqi airborne troops had already spotted the approaching Iranians ahead of time, and they were calmly preparing for battle.

Gently pulling the bolt, and hearing the bullets have entered the chamber, they placed the butt of the gun against their shoulders, skillfully fired in a lying position, and waited quietly.

In front is the Tehran Air Force Base. Every step forward is one step closer to the Iraqi army. The soldiers of the [-]th Division are slowly advancing, one step after another. very careful.

Walking in the front are the soldiers of the sharp knife platoon. They hold their rifles in both hands and are always in the firing state. They can fire at suspicious targets in the first time.

It's just that the darkness blocked their sight, and they couldn't see clearly even ten meters away.

Suddenly, one of the front soldiers with sharp ears heard the sound of the firing pin hitting the primer of the bullet from the front amidst the rustling of his own side. There were Iraqis in front!

His right index finger, which he had been waiting for all this time, pulled the trigger without the slightest hesitation.

Then, he heard the sound of bullets shooting from the opposite side, and the flames flashed out. The moment his bullets also flew out of the gun chamber, he already felt several severe pains in his body. The opponent hit!

With the severe pain coming from his body, he, who was still full of fighting spirit just now, felt like a balloon that exploded, deflated at once, his body no longer had any strength, and his right hand could not pull the trigger, his body tilted, fell to the ground.

It was getting darker and darker in front of him, and his eyelids were getting weaker and weaker. He closed his eyes unwillingly. Before he lost his intuition, he felt that his comrades were constantly falling down beside him.

Intensive gunfire has already sounded in front, and the troops in front have exchanged fire with the Iraqis!Wahari urged the soldiers behind to speed up their pace and fight bravely.

The soldiers in front didn't have the spirit of rushing to die. When they saw the person in front fell down, they instinctively fell to the ground, then fell to the ground and shot.

Because of the high mental tension, they almost pulled the trigger hand, and didn't stop until the entire magazine was fired.

The gunshots were loud, but they were all their own gunshots.

In the opposite position, there was no sound of gunfire.

what happened?

The Iranian soldier who had been lying on the ground climbed up carefully. Judging from the gunshots from the opposite side just now, the distance between the opponent and his side was no more than 50 meters. Therefore, even if the opponent shot randomly, the aim was amazingly high.

Carefully, move forward step by step, ten meters, 20 meters...

Suddenly, an Iranian soldier stepped on something. He bent down and touched it with his hand. There were still some hot bullet casings. This was the position of the Iraqis who had ambushed them just now. But where are the hateful Iraqis?

The Iraqis have fled!

Thinking of being ambushed just now, these Iranian soldiers were very depressed. Judging from the firepower of the other side, there were not many Iraqis who ambushed them, so they didn't dare to continue fighting with themselves. After firing a few bullets, they ran away!

Damn!

They finally straightened up and mustered up their courage, the Iraqis escaped, and they wanted to take back the air base!

Going forward again, ten meters, 20 meters, they became more and more courageous, and finally straightened up and walked forward in big strides.

Unexpectedly, just after walking another 100 meters, there was another burst of intensive shooting in front, and these Iranian soldiers were all killed off guard.

Such battles are constantly unfolding on the outskirts of the Tehran Air Force Base. On the surface, it seems that the Iraqi soldiers are retreating steadily. However, they continue to bring great harm to the Iranians with almost no casualties. casualties.

"Master, everything is going well. Our troops are continuing to advance, and the Iraqis have been retreating." Wahari heard the intermittent gunfire from the front, and got his adjutant's summary.

"At all costs, we must regain the airport before dawn." Wahari said, now that the Iraqi Air Force's attack has stopped, if the airport cannot be regained before dawn, the Iraqi Air Force will definitely come to help out. At that time, this The battle is not easy to fight.

He is not afraid of paying some casualties, what he needs is victory, regaining the airport, and boosting the morale of Tehran!

"Commander, everything is going well. Our soldiers are gradually retreating." On the airport control tower, Abed also received the same report.

"Are our casualties high?" Abed asked.

"Our casualties were very small. Two people were killed and five were wounded, all of whom were hit by stray bullets."

"Okay, we have to prepare to retreat." Abed said, the gunshots were approaching, and they needed to withdraw from the base they had just taken from the west.

"Are you all ready?" Abed turned around and asked the prisoners.

Including the commander of the base, their eyes were full of despair. They wanted to pray, but they seemed to know the result, and the other party would not let them go!

They were all tied together. In the middle of them was the warhead of an M82 bomb found in the base warehouse. The fuze had been reconnected to the gate of the tower. They all blasted into the sky.

"We need to retreat, we can't take you away, you will be safe, if the brothers who came to rescue you are smart enough." After Abed finished speaking, he took his own people and walked off the tower. The last person When leaving, connect the fuze trigger.

Iraqis are all devils!Falling into the endless darkness, listening to the gunshots getting closer and closer, and leaning against the bombs that would explode at any moment, they were completely desperate.
