Chapter 25 Personal Investigation
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, can we have any results from our investigation in the past few days?" Zhang Feng asked Muhammad.
Nearly ten days had passed, and it was less than ten days since the famous battle broke out in the swamp in my memory, but it was not a good sign that no trace of the other party had been found.
Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to win the battle, and now, where the enemy is, I don't know, how many enemies there are, I don't know, this battle will not be easy to fight.
Although he saw that the 35th Brigade had already begun to set up positions on the side of the swamp, Zhang Feng did not feel much relieved, could these hastily constructed positions withstand the impact of the opponent's armored group? You know, offense is the best defense, if you want to defend this place well, then you have to make sure that the opponent can't fight here, and in the swamp, killing the opponent is the wisest choice.
The swamps, an absolute nightmare for Chieftain tanks.
"I have a hunch that the cunning Persians will come up soon, and there is not much time left for us, Your Excellency Brigade Commander, please send most of the armored vehicles into the swamp to look for traces of the Persians, we must find them as soon as possible, and I will go to the military region again to see if I can get the military region to send a helicopter to reconnoitre." Zhang Feng said.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Muhammad said that he had almost a blind trust in Zhang Feng, and that His Excellency Qusay, who could accurately predict that the Jews' planes would bomb the nuclear reactor and thwart the Jewish conspiracy, could not discover the conspiracy of the Persians. The last time I went to the swamp, I met the other party's helicopter, which shows that there is indeed a problem in the swamp of Susangilde, but I haven't found it for the time being.
Zhang Feng picked up the phone on the table and called Ibrahim again.
"Hey, dear uncle, how are you doing these days?" Zhang Feng became enthusiastic again.
Ibrahim heard that it was Zhang Feng's voice, he didn't have a good feeling, every time this nephew would give himself a lot of problems, but fortunately he was solved one by one, this time, what did he want from him? Even the SVD sniper rifle treasured in the military region was taken away by him.
"There's a combat meeting that I need to hold soon, so just tell me if you have anything." Ibrahim said, not to make a long story short, I don't know if he will be encircled by him again.
"Uncle, I want to report a secret to you." Zhang Feng said.
"Secret? What secrets can you have? Ibrahim said: "If you are okay, then stay in the 35th Brigade, train your unit, and let them show their faces when the military region competes." ”
"Uncle, in the Susangil Marsh, there is a relic of the ancient Babylonian Empire, which is said to have buried a lot of treasures..."
Around 2200 B.C., a detachment of Semitic Amorites from the Syrian steppes captured a small city in the valley of the two rivers and established a state. The brave and martial Amorites took this as the center, conquered the north and the south, and fought everywhere, and finally established a powerful Babylonian Empire, known in history as the "Kingdom of Ancient Babylon". The Amorites were also called Babylonians for this reason. The Babylonians inherited the Sumerian and Akkadian civilizations and carried them forward, developing Mesopotamian civilization to its zenith.
And this small city, the legendary city of Babylon, is somewhere in the valley of the two rivers, and many scholars say that it may be in the marshes of Susangilde.
Zhang Feng threw this out, hoping to attract Ibrahim's attention, and send a helicopter to search, so that he could unintentionally insert willows and find the armored group of the Iranians.
There is no way, as soon as he mentioned that the Iranians would burst out of the Susangilde swamp, Ibrahim had such an impatient expression, as if everyone in the world knew that the Iranian tanks would never be able to cross the swamp, this was just his own wishful thinking, so Zhang Feng made this decision.
Hearing the treasure, Ibrahim's eyes did light up, but after all, he was older, and he no longer had the same impulse as a teenager, and after a little thought, he knew that this nephew of his was joking with himself, very simply, if there was really a treasure, he would have found someone to dig it up a long time ago, and he still used his wheel to get himself?
Didn't you send a helicopter to the swamp yourself? It's just a waste, and now, the war on Abadan's side is tightening, and even the president has asked about it, and after a year of fighting, he still hasn't been able to take Abadan, which has made President Saddam Hussein angry several times, and recently, he is deploying troops to prepare for another attack.
Don't mess with yourself at this time! It's good enough to leave him a resting armored brigade to play with, and you still want a helicopter?
It's free!
However, in my memory, Kusai is a young man with a deep city government, and he is silent, when will he do such a thing?
"The treasure of the ancient Babylonian Empire belongs to our great Iraqi people, Qusay, report this to the president, and he will immediately send someone to dig it up." Ibrahim said: "Why don't I contact the president for you?" ”
Oops, this Ibrahim is not a fuel-efficient lamp, it seems that he is clever and mistaken this time, Zhang Feng snorted: "Since my uncle is not willing to make a fortune with me, then I will do it alone, alas, it's a pity!" ”
After speaking, Zhang Feng hung up the phone quickly, and now, he can only rely on himself.
He put down the phone, only to find Muhammad staring at him blankly: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, what are you staring at me?" ”
"Your Excellency Qusay, do you want me to send some people to follow you to dig up the treasure together?" Muhammad asked.
"Dig your head!" Zhang Feng said: "I deceived the commander of the military region with those words, how can there be treasures there, there are a lot of iron bumps of the Persians!" ”
Lie to the commander of the military district? Only then did Muhammad realize that he would never dare to do such a thing, and just now he thought it was true when he saw the excited expression of His Excellency Qusay.
This is a lie about the military situation, if you talk to the commander of the military region like this, there will be a law enforcement team to clean yourself up tomorrow, or is your Excellency Qusay bold, but it doesn't seem to be a military situation, right?
Looking at the several staff officers around him, Zhang Feng said: "The phone call I made with the commander of the military region today must be kept secret, and if anyone leaks it, don't want to stay in the 35th Brigade in the future." ”
The staff officers nodded their heads like chickens pecking: "No, no." ”
"Bring me the map." Zhang Feng said. This group of soldiers is really rigid soldiers, and they are not flexible at all.
Zhang Feng actually wronged them, President Saddam Hussein has just been in power for a few years, he has already firmly controlled the army, and occasionally carries out purges, in the army, discipline is the first, who of them dares to joke with their superiors?
And Zhang Feng, a post-90s generation, although he came out of the special forces, he is not bound by so many rules and regulations. No matter what happens, the most important thing is to achieve the goal in the end.
Once, they were dropped into the mountains by helicopters and needed to return to the station within three days, and the only thing in their hands was field rations that could only last one day, as well as individual equipment, but the rifle had no bullets, the grenade was also a trainer bullet, and only the dagger was real.
As a result, Zhang Feng unexpectedly encountered people in the mountains driving four-wheel drive tractors, Zhang Feng immediately discussed with him, spent a hundred yuan, and went out of the mountain comfortably.
I just made up a lie, but it was just a small trick, and the depressed thing was that my uncle didn't take the bait.
Give me a helicopter, is it that hard? I'm thinking about the Southern Military Region.
However, in a few days, when the Iranian Sheikh tanks swarm out of the swamps, you will regret that you don't pay attention to me now.
Without helicopters, then there is only one way: armored vehicles for reconnaissance.
And the armored vehicles did not detect the results several times, probably because the Persians had not yet sorted, or they were not in the right direction.
The staff officer spread out the map in front of Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang looked at the map for a long time, and suddenly found something: "The terrain of this swamp area is high in the north and low in the south?" ”
"Yes, that's it." The staff officer said.
"We've been searching the east-west middle line lately, and the swamp is higher to the north, which means it's better to take the road, and will the Persians come from the north of the swamp instead of the middle line?" Zhang Feng said.
Such a simple truth, as soon as Zhang Feng said it, everyone suddenly understood, but at the beginning, no one could think of it.
"Let the armored vehicles do their best to search this area, keep in touch with the brigade headquarters at all times, and a battalion of the tank battalion, ready to go into battle at any time." Zhang Feng said.
"Yes, I'll order it at once." Muhammad said that since the arrival of His Excellency Qusay, he had been completely convinced and was willing to listen to His Excellency Qusay.
"Warih, Marwan, with the Sidewinder troops, let's go together." Zhang Feng walked out of the brigade headquarters and said to the two people who were waiting for orders outside the door.
The Rattlesnake Troop is the name he gave to his squad, hoping that they can be like the Rattlesnake and shock the Quartet.
"Yes!" The two replied.
After training, fourteen people were eliminated, and Zhang Feng divided them into three groups, with Warikh, Marwan and himself as team leaders, with thirteen people in each group, and three armored vehicles were enough.
Needless to say, Marwan already has strong combat skills, and Warikh, although he was born as an anti-aircraft artilleryman, has very good physical fitness, and besides, he actually graduated from university, which is also an advantage in an army with a lot of illiteracy. Both are rare talents.
After training these days, it is time to put it to the test in practice to see how effective their training is.
"Your Excellency Qusay, do you want to investigate yourself?" Muhammad asked.
"Yes, I can't rest assured." Zhang Feng said.
"Then, I'll send a few tanks to protect you." Mohammed was very cautious, and if something happened to His Excellency Qusay in his defense area, even the president and even the commander of the military district would never spare him.
"No, the target is big but sensitive, we drive a few armored vehicles, go to the swamp to reconnoitre, and at the same time, it can be regarded as training, besides, even if we encounter the Iranian Chieftain tank, we have a way to deal with him." Thinking of those portable missiles of his own, which are enough to deal with all kinds of weapons of the Iranians, even a helicopter in the sky, you can also shoot it down with the Sam-7.
