Chapter 338: Decapitation (1)

In the dark of night, several helicopters flew low at altitude, huge propellers, churning the air around them, making characteristic noises.

It's destined to be a sleepless night!

In the front, a twin-propeller CH-47 Chinook helicopter, followed by two Mi-24 Hind.

In the cargo hold of Chinook, it is already full of energetic soldiers at the moment, and from the badge on the shoulder, it can be seen that they are the most mysterious unit beside His Excellency Qusay: the Sidewinder special forces.

This special forces, although it has not been created for a long time, has repeatedly made meritorious contributions, Susangirde Marshes, Abadan, almost every victory in the battle, they have appeared.

They are already a sharp sword, and now, the sword is unsheathed!

Everyone is in good spirits, they have a characteristic camouflage paste on their faces, and in their hands they hold their own special weapons, automatic rifles, sniper rifles, submachine guns, anti-tank missiles ... Daggers and pistols are standard for everyone.

Tonight, their mission is called Operation Decapitation!

The concept of "decapitation" in modern warfare was developed by the British military theorist Fuller. Later in World War I, he proposed a "paralyzing attack," also known as a "decapitation attack," in which attacking the enemy's chain of command was the primary objective. In fact, in ancient China, there has long been such a saying, hit the snake and hit the seven inches, and the thief will capture the king first.

Where are the troops in Iraq? On the road to attack the port of Khomeini, they are ready to get a big victory to add to the success of the new year.

No one will notice that the Iraqis, will send a small detachment to the pre-war command in Ahvaz, to behead the defeated Hashhmian!

At this moment, the headquarters is still brightly lit.

None of the staff officers dared to sleep, and none of the staff officers were willing to sleep, their eyes had become red because of staying up late, but they were still staring at the sand table in the headquarters.

The helicopter gunships fought hard, and several of them were killed, but the result was still very unoptimistic, and the Iraqis were still advancing.

Although many defensive positions were laid out on the road from Abadan to the port of Khomeini, they did little to the effect, and the machine-gun fortifications and infantry bunkers were taken out by the Iraqi armored corps.

If you have a strong armor force, you can delay the opponent's journey! If your fighters are not destroyed, they are fully capable of using the air force to completely kill them!

However, now they have nothing, the only reinforcement is still on the way, and they must enter the port of Khomeini before the Iraqi army arrives, and use street fighting to have any hope of winning the Iraqi army.

Your own armor is too small!

If it weren't for the Susangild swamps, Iran's armored group would not have been so overstretched, and the tank forces in the north would also need to defend against the attack of the Iraqi Northern Military District, the northern region of Iran, which is the main grain producing area, and if it is also occupied by Iraq, the consequences will be very serious.

Reinforcements have been sent, and whether they can reach the port of Khomeini tomorrow morning will require the blessing of Allah.

So far, it seems that the march of reinforcements is very fast. In particular, the trucks carrying troops, which reached a speed of almost 70 kilometers per hour, could have rushed to the port of Khomeini before dawn, although they were only infantry, and they could also play a great role in the battle to defend the port of Khomeini.

The armored forces, which are also advancing rapidly, have broken the limit of off-road speed, I am afraid everyone knows how they did it, but no one objected, the road can be repaired again if it is broken, and if the port of Khomeini is lost, it will be difficult to get it back.

Hashmian also stood still in front of the sand table, but he didn't care where the reinforcements went, he was just guessing what the commander on the other side had his real intentions.

At this time, there were still 2,000 troops left in Ahvaz, but the most elite troops had already been sent to support the port of Khomeini, and the rest were only second-line soldiers, as well as newly recruited soldiers, whose combat effectiveness was not very high, and their vigilance was very poor.

To defend the entire Ahvaz, as well as the air base, the oil fields in the northeast and other key areas, their troops are also insufficient, and most of them are on the periphery of Ahvaz, and the guard in the headquarters is only one company, and most of them are doing service work.

The bombing of the airfield in Ahvaz was to prepare for the attack of their armored forces, and now, their armored forces are on the way to the port of Khomeini, this move has completely disrupted the defense of the entire area, and the reinforcements are on the way to the port of Khomeini.

Are there more powerful tricks hidden in these dazzling moves? Is Iraq's goal really to take the port of Khomeini?

If the other party was any other Iraqi commander, Hashmian had no doubt, but the clever commander of the other side made Hashmian have to be careful and careful, he could not afford to lose.

"Attention, about to enter the city of Ahvaz, check the weapons, get ready." Marwan shouted from the cabin.

In order to confuse the other side, the helicopter did not enter directly from the west, but made a half-circle and entered Ahvaz from the north.

Although the helicopter was noisy, the sentries were already tired after tossing for more than half the night, and the soldiers left behind were not vigilant, and most of them did not pay attention.

A few veterans also noticed, but when they heard that the helicopter was coming from the north, and in the night sky that had become brighter, they could vaguely see that the plane in front was a twin-propeller, and only their own air force had this kind of helicopter, so they did not doubt it much, to the north, in the direction of Dizfuller, there was already an armored unit from there to support the port of Khomeini, and now, several more helicopters were flying from there, which must be related to the fighting in the port of Khomeini.

No one thought that it was Iraqis who came!

The helicopter smoothly entered the sky over Ahvaz, and then, the most important step came, in this dark night, with the help of night vision devices, to find the location of the opponent's command post!

Prior to this, the pilot of the helicopter had carefully studied the situation here, but it was still very difficult to find out in the shortest possible time, and the longer the time, the easier it was to arouse the alert of the other party.

At this time, the Messiah Bureau once again played its role, and the intelligence officers who had been ambushed here in advance had already aimed a laser emitting device at a distance of the building where the headquarters was located.

On the Chinook, a device is installed that can accept lasers, and after the laser reflected from the building is received by Chinook, their next move is very easy.

If there are laser-guided bombs, then only a few bombs need to be dropped, but this kind of thing is still a relatively sophisticated weapon at present, and Iraq does not have such weapons in its arsenal.

Therefore, the Sidewinder special forces, again dispatched, need to deliver a precision strike on the command.

The light blinded the eyes, and Hashmian left the sand table where he had been staring for hours and walked to the window.

Suddenly, a loud roar was heard from a distance.

Helicopter! Hashmian was suddenly shocked.

"We've received a message, is there a helicopter coming?" Hashmian asked.

The staff officers shook their heads, none of them knew that there would be helicopters visiting at three or four o'clock in the middle of the night.

"Maybe it's the great leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who has come to inspect us." A staff officer said.

Khomeini? No way! Hashmian thought of a terrible possibility.

"Notify the guard platoon and assemble immediately." Hashmian said.

The staff officers have not yet reacted, and even a few of them have been confused, Khomeini is coming, but he said that he will notify the guard platoon, is it a rebellion?

"It's Iraqis!" Hashmian said loudly: "Everything before was to confuse our eyes, and the ultimate goal of the Iraqis is not the port of Khomeini, but Ahwaz!" ”

All along, Hashmian had a vague idea in his mind, what good could Iraq's bloody battle for the port of Khomeini be?

However, Ahvaz is different, because near here, there are Iranian oil fields!

At this time, the huge CH-47 Chinook helicopter had hovered above the headquarters building, and the members of the Sidewinder special forces were gliding down the rope one by one.

Each of them wore night vision devices, and everything around them, was very clear.

Opening the passage to the roof, they began to rush downward.

Iraqi? How did the Iraqis come? While the staff officers were still hesitating, Hashmian had already pulled out his American-made M1911 pistol with the handle of an ivory gun for self-defense and rushed outside.

At the door, two guards, already asleep!

Without hesitation, Hashmian kicked them up: "Quick, take your guns and follow me!" ”

Hashmian came to the end of the aisle, opened the window, and fired a shot into the sky.

This shot completely woke up the people in the headquarters, and the gunshots rang out in the headquarters, something definitely happened!

At this time, the staff officers in the back woke up like a dream, thinking that it was safe to stay here, but they didn't expect that the Iraqis actually touched here.

They all picked up their pistols, and some of them did not have guns, so they picked up the legs of the stool next to them and rushed out together.

Iraqis are also too deceitful! Although they are directing the operation and hoping to go into battle to kill the enemy in person, since the Iraqis are here, they will definitely not let go!

Iranian servicemen have never been afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice!

They were constantly joined by guards, who followed Hashmian and ran upstairs.

Because, that huge roar came from the top of the building.

Hearing the gunshot, Marwan, who commanded the operation, secretly cursed, they had already killed the two soldiers guarding the top floor, and were about to touch down, but they heard the sound of chaos below.

What a failed operation!
