Chapter 431 Attack on Tehran
Andrei advised the Iranians to carry out terrorist activities against civilians in the United States. This activity was quite effective. After only one time, the Americans were obediently withdrawn from Iran, and various conditions were negotiated. Although it was actually a combination of various reasons, such as the serious economic problems of the United States, the United States' fear of the Vietnam War, etc., this incident still made the Iranians have a good impression of Andrei, so this trip to Tashkent.
They have forgotten how they called the Soviet Union Satan and cooperated with Satan was their biggest mistake.
The Iraqi war continued to fight in full swing. The Iraqi army drove straight into the mainland of Iran. The forward, getting closer and closer to Tehran, the capital of Iran!
The Iraqi army has high morale and is confident. With previous experience, they can defeat Tehran within one month! The armored troops are the vanguard, and other infantry divisions follow closely, crossing the desert area, and can already see Tehran!
Just a few months ago, the US team fought fiercely with the Iranian army here, and half of Tehran's urban area collapsed. Even so, the United States still did not occupy the entire Tehran! In this city, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and Tehran is also called the Blood City.
And now, the title of this blood city will be presented to the whole world again! The Iranians have no way out and their capital must not be occupied!
Just outside Tehran, in the trenches of several scattered lines, Iranian young people who were urgently recruited to the army were holding the weapons in their hands. Their eyes looked at the Iraqi armored troops in the distance, knowing how cruel the battle they were about to face was!
Last time, the Americans came very quickly. The Iranian army could not react and was attacked by the United States. This time it was different. The Iraqi army continued to attack, giving Iran sufficient defense time. Just when the battle in Isfahan was not over, the guards of Tehran began to enter the state.
In the distance, Iraqi tank troops were constantly moving! Amid the rumbling sound, the ground was also trembling slightly.
"Boom, boom!" At this moment, the t-72 tank marching in front suddenly made an explosion. With the sound, the tracks slid quickly and fell down. They crushed the minefield!
Although the t-72 tank is advanced, it is not omnipotent. Almost all tank tracks will be destroyed by anti-tank mines.
There is a minefield! Ali was extremely distressed when his armored troops lost several tanks. He immediately ordered the armored troops to retreat and wait for the engineers to come to clear the mines.
At the same time, Ali tentatively attacked from other directions, and then he realized that the entire periphery of Tehran was covered with landmines. Is the Iranians not going to pass? At this time, Ali had already smelled the danger.
The several infantry divisions behind continued to move upwards, surrounding Tehran like an iron barrel. After several days of demining and opening the passage, the attack continued to unfold.
The tank rumbled over the trenches. Just as the tank continued to move, Iranian soldiers appeared from the trenches inside. They used the simple rpg rocket launcher in their hands to attack the rear of the tank and launched a fierce battle with the Iraqi infantry behind them!
There were fierce battles everywhere on the entire battlefield, and at every moment, countless living lives disappeared. The Iranians seemed to be crazy and attacked completely regardless of death. They held the bazooka and attacked the weak parts of the T-72 tank. They took the AK rifle and charged at the infantry behind the tank. Even if they knew it was death, they would dare to stand up and shoot their last magazine! The bullets were gone, and they could even smash them with a butt, stab them with a bayonet, and bite them with their teeth!
There were cruel battles everywhere on the entire front, as if at this moment, the Iranians turned into monsters that were not afraid of death!
The Iraqi army fought hard for ten days and did not rush into the city of Tehran. New reinforcements continued to come up from behind, but they also entered the bloody battle in the outskirts of Tehran. It seemed like a bottomless pit, and there were not enough soldiers!
Finally, after paying the price of 30,000 people, the Iraqi army annihilated the Iranian defenders on the periphery and rushed into the Iranian capital Tehran! In front, there were fierce street fighting waiting for them!
Since the war started, it has been unstoppable. Now, the fierce battle has surprised Baghdad. However, for them, this is just the last tough battle! It is understandable that the resistance encountered by fighting the Iranian capital is a little stronger. However, as long as Tehran is taken care of regardless of casualties, even if Persia is destroyed!
Baghdad was still optimistic. They were waiting for the news of victory to come, but what they did not expect was that the Iranian counterattack had already begun!
Isfahan, a city in central Iran, is located on the main transportation route. This is a city of strategic significance. It was Iraq that captured Isfahan and used Isfahan as a springboard to attack Tehran!
As a large number of troops attacked Tehran, Isfahan had almost become an empty city, with less than one infantry division stationed here. Their main task was to provide logistical supplies to the front line. As the front line progressed, the Iraqi front line troops needed more and more supplies. In order to support the battle in Tehran, Iraq stored a large amount of weapons, ammunition, and food in Isfahan.
The sentinels of the 11th Infantry Division stood in front of a checkpoint. For them, their daily task was to check the local residents coming and going to see if they were carrying weapons illegally. These days, attacks on the outposts have occurred from time to time, and they were highly vigilant.
At this moment, rolling dust appeared on the ground in the distance. It must have been an armored force that was coming!
Now, where is Iranian decent armored force? The Iranian armored forces have long been destroyed! So, the one that can come must be our own armored force! The sentry looked into the distance and looked at the tank unit coming from the west. Is it a new reinforcement? Why didn't he receive the order?
Soon, this smoke-filled armored force arrived. The high gun barrel and round turret looked a little like a t-54, a little like a t-62, etc., and it seemed wrong!
The sentry suddenly thought of something, and no new armored troops started! The street fighting should be infantry! This newly launched armored troops are not organized by their own troops!
It's not our own, it's Iranian! (To be continued.)
