Chapter 432: Attack on Tehran

At the beginning, Andre suggested to the Iranians to carry out terrorist activities against civilians in the United States. This activity was quite effective. It was only carried out once, and the Americans withdrew from Iran obediently and reached various conditions. Although it was actually a combination of various reasons, such as the serious economic problems in the United States, such as the fear of the Vietnam War in the United States, etc., this incident still made the Iranians full of goodwill towards Andre, so there was this trip to Tashkent.

They have forgotten how they once called the Soviet Union Satan. Cooperating with Satan is their biggest mistake.

The Iran-Iraq War continues to rage on. The Iraqi army has advanced deep into the interior of Iran, and the vanguard is getting closer and closer to the Iranian capital, Tehran!

The Iraqi army was in high spirits and full of confidence. With their previous experience, they could capture Tehran within a month! The armored forces were the vanguard, followed by other infantry divisions, crossing the desert and already within sight of Tehran!

Just a few months ago, the US military fought a fierce battle with the Iranian army here, and half of Tehran collapsed. Even so, the United States still did not occupy the entire Tehran! In this city, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and Tehran was also called the Blood City.

And now, the title of this bloody city will once again be presented to the world! The Iranians have no way to retreat, and their capital must not be occupied!

Just on the outskirts of Tehran, in the trenches of several hastily constructed skirmish lines, Iranian youths who were urgently conscripted into the army tightly grasped their weapons in their hands. Their eyes were fixed on the Iraqi armored forces in the distance, knowing how brutal the battle they were about to face would be!

Last time, the Americans came very quickly, and the Iranian army had no chance to react, so they were driven into Tehran by the United States. But this time it was different. The Iraqi army kept attacking, giving Iran enough time to defend itself. While the battle in Isfahan was not over, the guards in Tehran began to get into shape.

In the distance, the Iraqi tanks were moving in! Amid the rumbling sound, the ground was shaking slightly.

"Boom, boom!" At this moment, the T-72 tank moving in front suddenly made an explosion. With the sound, the tracks slid rapidly and fell down, and they ran over the minefield!

Although the T-72 tank is advanced, it is not omnipotent. Almost all tank tracks can be destroyed by anti-tank mines.

There is a minefield! Ali was very distressed when he saw that his armored unit had lost several tanks. He immediately ordered the armored unit to retreat and wait for the engineers to come and clear the mines.

At the same time, Ali tried to attack from other directions, only to find that the entire periphery of Tehran was already covered with mines. Did the Iranians not intend to cross? At this time, Ali had already smelled the breath of danger.

The infantry divisions behind continued to move forward, surrounding Tehran like an iron barrel. After several days of mine clearance and opening up the passage, the offensive continued.

The tank rumbled over the trench, and just as the tank continued to move, Iranian soldiers appeared from the trench inside. They used the simple RPG rocket launchers in their hands to attack the rear of the tank and engaged in a fierce battle with the Iraqi infantry behind!

The battlefield was full of fierce fighting. Countless lives were lost at every moment. The Iranians seemed to be crazy and attacked without regard for death. They used rocket launchers to hit the weak parts of the T-72 tanks. They used AK rifles to charge the infantry behind the tanks. Even though they knew they would die, they dared to stand up and use up their last magazine! When they ran out of bullets, they could even smash with the butt of their guns, stab with bayonets, and bite with their teeth!

The entire front line was filled with brutal battles, as if at that moment, the Iranians had turned into fearless monsters!

The Iraqi army fought hard for ten days but failed to break into the city of Tehran. New reinforcements continued to arrive from the rear, but were also thrown into a bloody battle on the outskirts of Tehran. This place seemed like a bottomless pit, and no matter how many soldiers there were, it was not enough!

Finally, at the cost of 30,000 people, the Iraqi army annihilated the Iranian defenders on the periphery and rushed into the Iranian capital of Tehran! Ahead, there was still a fierce street fight waiting for them!

Since the beginning of the war, they have been unstoppable. Now, the fierce battle has surprised Baghdad. However, for them, this is just the last battle! It is understandable that they will encounter strong resistance when attacking the Iranian capital. However, as long as they take Tehran regardless of casualties, Persia will be destroyed!

Baghdad is still very optimistic. They are waiting for the news of victory. However, what they did not expect is that the Iranian counterattack has already begun!

Isfahan, a city in central Iran, is located on a major transportation route. It is a city of great strategic significance. It was after Iraq captured Isfahan that it used Isfahan as a springboard to attack Tehran!

As a large number of troops attacked Tehran, Isfahan almost became an empty city, with only less than an infantry division-sized army stationed here. Their main task was to provide logistical supplies to the front line. As the battle 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.

A sentry from the 11th Infantry Division stands in front of a checkpoint. Their daily task is to check whether local residents coming and going are carrying weapons illegally. In recent days, attacks on the sentry posts have occurred frequently, and they are on high alert.

At this moment, rolling dust appeared on the ground in the distance. It must be an armored unit moving over!

Now, where does Iran have a decent armored force? The Iranians' armored forces have been destroyed long ago! Therefore, the ones that can come must be their own armored forces! The sentry looked far away, looking at the tank troops coming from the west. Are they new reinforcements? Why didn't they receive the order?

Soon, this armored unit arrived with billowing smoke and dust. From a distance, its tall gun barrels and round turrets looked somewhat like T-54, but also somewhat like T-62. Wait, something seemed wrong!

The sentry suddenly thought of something. There would be no new armored troops moving in! For street fighting, it should be the infantry! This newly-moved armored unit was not part of their own army!

If it's not ours, then it's Iranian!
