Braving the bitter cold wind, Khomeini personally came to the Tehran airbase.

What unfolded in front of him was already a ruin, where all the fighters, the hopes of the Iranian Air Force, were buried.

He put his hand on his chest feebly, and said in his heart, Almighty Allah Allah, do you really want to let those who blaspheme your teachings run rampant?

No, absolutely not! It is definitely the right choice to advocate the use of Islamic teachings to govern the country, even if it costs a lot for it, it is worth it!

"Honorable leader, the relics of your son, we have only found so many." The head of the Revolutionary Guard, Mohsin Rafiq Doucet, said, handing over something.

Khomeini took a deformed pistol, which Ahmed had brought with him on the eve of the Islamic Revolution to protect him, and since then, this pistol has been with Ahmed through many ups and downs.

Unexpectedly, with Ahmed ascending to heaven, this pistol also became like this.

Khomeini didn't speak, but his heart was surging.

"Is the loss counted this time?" It took a long time for Khomeini to ask.

"In our base, there are more than 3,000 people in total, and now there are only more than 800 survivors, and more than 30 of our more than 80 pilots have been found, and we are looking for them under the rubble, and there should be many survivors." "At this base, a total of four squadrons of F-14 fighters that have been restored to combat capability have all been destroyed, and two squadrons of F-4 fighters and two squadrons of F-5 fighters are probably no longer usable, our oil depot here has been destroyed, and the anti-aircraft missile positions and anti-aircraft radar positions have lost their due capabilities," Muhsin said. ”

This base bears the heavy responsibility of defending Tehran, so the air force is the most powerful, and those repaired Tomcat fighters are all arranged here, and the battle has been fought until now, the Iranian Air Force is in good condition, as long as there are enough accessories to take off Tomcat fighters, there are only more than 40 left, and now, 16 of them have been blown up at once, which is a heavy failure, and those rest of the fighters, if they want to completely repair and restore their current combat effectiveness, it is not enough to have half a year.

Since the Immortal Bird missiles delivered by the United States are all stored in this base, now, even the base has been wiped out.

"In other words, there is nothing left in our current base?" Khomeini said gloomily.

"Yes." Mohsin said.

He keenly felt that the great spiritual leader had never been like today, and that was a very bad sign.

"Today's sacrifices are the sons of the great Iranian people, their spirit will always endure, our war with Iraq is a cruel war, although now we are temporarily lost, but, Allah willing, the final victory must be ours." Khomeini said: "Now, it is time for Iraq to pay back its blood debt, and we must completely annihilate the Iraqi army in Bakhtalam!" ”

"We, Iran, will definitely not fail!"

Khomeini is angry, Iran is angry.

On the Iraqi side, the mood is completely different.

The commander of the Air Force, Major General Abid, personally welcomed the returning warriors at the airport, who were supposed to fly to the Southern Military District after filling up their tanks in the Northern Military District.

As a result, having received the news of the complete bombing of the Tehran airbase, President Saddam Hussein was very happy.

The offensive of the Northern Military District was blocked, and Iraq was in great need of a big victory to boost morale.

The bombing of Tehran Air Base, destroying all the Iranian warplanes on the ground, and the loss of the offensive capability of the Iranian Air Force, is a great victory, enough to boost the morale of the people of the whole country!

Therefore, he sent the commander of the Air Force to give a warm welcome to these returning warriors.

In terms of establishment, all air forces are under the jurisdiction of Abid, the commander of the air force, but since Qusay went to the south, he has single-handedly grasped the construction of all the armies of the Southern Military District, and even the air force has also taken care of it, and Abid naturally does not interfere in these things very interestingly.

And now, seeing these American-made fighters equipped by the Southern Military Region, Abid is also very blushing.

As the commander of the Air Force, he must be born as a pilot, and Abid naturally knows what those fighters mean.

If the Northern Military District were to send its air force to bomb the Tehran air base, they would have twice as many fighters, and they would definitely not be able to achieve the current effect!

In particular, as the commander of the Air Force, after welcoming these fighter pilots of the Southern Military Region at the airport, he personally stepped on the cockpit of the F-20 with great interest, and after seeing the internal instruments, he was even more amazed!

Anyway, the production line of the F-20 was also set up in the south, and in the future, we must ask His Excellency Cusay for some fighters to equip the Northern Military District!

Although the president negotiated a deal with the Soviet Union and introduced a number of Soviet "advanced" fighters, Abid knew that it was not as powerful as this F-20 fighter.

The news that Iraq successfully bombed Iran's most heavily defended air base in Tehran, and completely destroyed the entire base, immediately spread all over the world and attracted the analysis of countless military experts.

Tehran Air Base has a long-range early warning radar, which is arranged on the western side of the defensive line, how did the fighters of the Iraqi Air Force evade the radar surveillance and suddenly appear in the sky over the Tehran Air Base?

Many military experts have analyzed that there must be a cruise missile in Iraq's arsenal! Using this cruise missile first, knocking out the opponent's long-range radar, they can fly over the opponent and drop the laser-guided bombs and Maverick air-to-surface missiles they are equipped with. Laser-guided bombs are used to blow up large targets, and one is enough to paralyze the opponent, while Maverick missiles are used to hit multiple scattered targets, and no one is left behind any important target.

However, Iraq dispatched so many warplanes and did not carry ordinary aerial bombs at all, which shows that the application of precision-guided weapons can be several times that of ordinary aerial bombs, and the use of precision-guided weapons in future air raids can completely produce very good results.

It is even more important to use cruise missiles to make a covert surprise attack and take out the opponent's long-range alert capability.

This example has led to the development of long-range cruise missiles by various countries.

And Northrop vigorously advertised this achievement, which is entirely the credit of the F-20 fighter, although this fighter was born from the F-5, but it is already a brand new fighter, whether it is the struggle for air supremacy, or ground bombing, the F-20 can be fully qualified for low-intensity combat.

Although everyone's eyes are on Liangyi, few people are paying attention to another major event that is quietly happening.

"Where are the hostages now?" Khomeini asked.

Thankfully, he kept it himself, and now it seems that he can finally use it.

"Tabriz." Rafsanjani said.

Khomeini looked at the map on the wall and said: "Immediately urge the United States to hand over the arms to us first, otherwise, the hostages can only stay in Tabriz for the time being." ”

Rafsanjani was taken aback, according to the prior agreement, it was necessary to wait for the hostages to reach the border with Turkey, and the Americans transported arms to the shore at the same time, and now doing so, will it irritate the United States?

However, Tabriz is not far from the Turkish border, and it makes sense to do so.

Looking at the map, closer and closer to the Turkish border, Macfarlane felt more and more impatient, he knew that now was the most dangerous time.

When Ayatollah Khomeini asked them to leave in a car, McFarlane knew it was full of uncertainties, but they didn't agree to be picked up by plane, and they had no other way.

Now, the front and rear of the convoy are "protected" by Iranians, and even if they want to run, they will never be able to run away.

However, the temperament of the Americans in the car was obviously much better, and they only knew that they would be able to go home in two days.

Compared to the passengers on other flights, they are unlucky, but they are lucky compared to the last embassy incident.

Suddenly, the car in front stopped.

What's going on? McFarlane poked his head out of the window, confused.

"Sir, our superiors have called, please answer it." An Iranian came over and said.

Phone? McFarlane was a little confused, what phone?

He got out of the car and came to the car in front, and one of the Iranian company commanders in charge of this escort said: "Our superiors have something to discuss with you. ”

McFarlane, who was in charge of the weapons swap, picked up the radio and heard a familiar voice say, "Mr. Macfarlane, we need to get those weapons right away." ”

Macfarlane was shocked and said, "According to our agreement, we need to evacuate safely before those arms can be sent to the port, and it is very difficult for me to do so if you ask for this." ”

"As you may know, our air base was attacked by the shameful Iraqis yesterday, and we are very short of warplanes, and some parts were destroyed in yesterday's air strikes, so we need that batch of arms very much."

"I'm sorry, I have to come according to our agreement, this is a guarantee of the personal safety of all our hostages." McFarlane was very direct.

"Then please give the phone to the company commander." The words that came from inside made McFarlane suddenly feel a cold wind in his back.

He looked at the company commander beside him, he knew that as long as he handed over the phone to the other party, the next moment, the other party would definitely change his face, and these hostages of his own would probably re-enter the tiger's mouth.

What to do? Agree to the other person's request? Or run away?

According to the second set of operational plans, they will be secretly met by Delta Special Forces soldiers when they are close to the Turkish border, but it is still a little far away.

"Give me the phone." The company commander next to him saw that McFarlane did not speak or move, and immediately said.

"Boom!" At this moment, suddenly, a loud explosion sounded from behind.
