Chapter 508 Military Mutiny
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was originally a college student in Tehran. He was radical and brave. In the incident of attacking the US Embassy, Ahmadinejad took the lead and became a student leader. In the heart of HMN, his status was getting higher and higher.
Recently, with the gradual deterioration of the situation, especially after the unfortunate death of HMN's right-hand man, ISL Revolutionary Guard Captain Mohsen in Sistan Province, Ahmadinejad even became the new captain of the Revolutionary Guard, responsible for commanding the entire Revolutionary Guard's battles.
At the same time, this also shows the gradual shrinkage of HMN's armed forces. Up to now, they have not been able to find someone with more experience, and have let someone like Ahmadinejad become the new captain!
Regardless of his command ability, Ahmadinejad's loyalty is absolutely reliable. Under the current circumstances, Ahmadinejad still maintains a high morale. He firmly believes that all this is a test from the true God and that his side will overcome all difficulties.
And that woman actually dared to make such remarks, blaspheming the true God, she simply deserved to die! Ahmadinejad's eyes were full of anger.
"Our current situation is extremely critical." Another gloomy voice said in the room, "We have relied on human wave tactics to drive the Iraqi army to Khuzestan Province, but we are already exhausted. Many troops have even run out of ammunition and rely entirely on human lives. If we show any signs of weakness, the Iraqi army will counterattack. We simply do not have the ability to take care of the war in the rear, and we cannot send troops to rescue Qom."
The one who spoke was Rafsanjani, a loyal subordinate who had followed HMN in resisting the Pahlavi government from the very beginning. Now, he was on the front line, commanding the army together with Ahmadinejad and others. However, the deterioration of the situation was far beyond their control.
Especially now that Tehran has been taken by these guys who call themselves the People's Liberation Army, the holy city of Qom in the south of Tehran will also be in danger! And their spiritual leader is still in that holy city! The problem before them is how to deal with this mess.
"Our Islamic Revolutionary Guards must be withdrawn to support Tehran." Ahmadinejad's words were unquestionable: "We must retake Tehran, which is our capital, and we must protect our leader."
"Then our current battle line will completely collapse. The other armies will not be able to withstand the fight!" Rafsanjani said.
Now, the battle depends almost entirely on the determined Islamic Revolutionary Guards. The rest of the old army of the former dynasty may be able to fight along if things go their way, but even if the army is equipped with mullahs, their will to fight is still insufficient. For this reason, Rafsanjani even killed several senior generals and still did nothing about it.
Now, Ahmadinejad says he wants to pull back the Revolutionary Guards, so this war really cannot be fought!
"Boom!" At this moment, an explosion suddenly occurred outside, followed by the sound of fierce gunfire.
"What's going on?" Ahmadinejad asked.
"Oh no! Our troops have mutinied! They are attacking us!" an adjutant ran in and said.
The army mutinied! Those armies of the old dynasty were simply unreliable! Now they were subdued by force, and every time they fought, they were pointed at with guns and used as cannon fodder. Now, these armies of the old dynasty finally mutinied!
The general trend is obvious. HMN's government will definitely not be able to hold on, because the Iranian People's Liberation Army has the support of the Soviet Union, while they have nothing! Rather than being wiped out in the battle with the People's Liberation Army, it is better to fight back! The woman president in Tehran has already given them an olive green, and they suddenly burst into fighting enthusiasm.
Even when they were fighting the Iraqis, they were not so brave! Now, they were fighting very fiercely!
Capture the current leaders of the Revolutionary Guard and seek credit from the new master! These armies of the old dynasty have always been very good at scheming!
Caught off guard, the headquarters here was surrounded by these troops and the battle was extremely fierce.
Opposite them, people from the Southern Iraqi Military District were dumbfounded.
What's going on?
"It seems that the Iranians on the opposite side are engaged in a gunfight." The news quickly reached the Iraqi army's headquarters. General Adnan, who received the news, frowned.
As the Iraqi Minister of Defense, Adnan coordinated and commanded the entire invasion. In the early stages, Iraq's offensive was very smooth due to the United States' containment in the east. However, after the Iranians drove the United States away with huge casualties, the battle on their side has been very difficult, with heavy casualties. The entire defense line has been continuously retreating, and now it has even retreated to Khuzestan Province!
President Saddam was very angry and wanted to come from Baghdad in person to supervise the battle. However, it was undoubtedly inappropriate to let the president personally supervise the battle, so Adnan personally came to the Southern Military Region to command the most important battle in the Southern Military Region.
The situation in the north is not so bad, but the south cannot be lost! The goal of Iraq's battle this time is to fight for the estuary of the Shatt al-Arab River and this strategic location! Not to mention that Khuzestan Province has rich oil resources!
The Iraqi army can no longer retreat!
However, it seemed that the time for their side to change direction had come. Just after Adnan arrived in the south, the Soviet Union began to attack. The Iranians were immediately beaten to a pulp. Now, even Tehran has been occupied!
Now, the Iranian army on the opposite side is actually caught up in internal strife again. This is really a good opportunity!
However, could this be a conspiracy by the enemy? They are luring us over and then using human wave tactics to consume our strength? The Iraqi army has suffered many losses from this kind of tactics!
"Report, the 8th Armored Brigade has charged forward!" Just when Adnan was hesitating, a report came over.
The 8th Armored Brigade! That kid Ali! Adnan couldn't help but clench his fists. If this kid was here, he would definitely punch him a few times. He was always so impulsive!
However, Ali's judgment was quite outstanding. When the attack began, Ali's armored brigade took the lead and rushed all the way to Isfahan. However, when he discovered that Iran was using human wave tactics to respond, Ali's retreat was quite timely. Therefore, all the troops suffered heavy casualties, and only Ali's armored forces suffered the least losses.
Now, did Ali discover an opportunity and take the initiative to attack?
"Order the 1st and 4th Armored Divisions to attack immediately," said Adnan.
