The biggest enemy threatening Amer does not come from the Prophet Army or other countries, but from within.
After fighting for more than three hours, basically all the 10,000 Revolutionary Guards were killed. What was left was a group of conventional troops with poor combat effectiveness. There was no way, there were only 120,000 Revolutionary Guards in the country, and the rest were The combat effectiveness and loyalty of the conventional forces and the Revolutionary Guards are unquestionable, but their numbers are too small.
The conventional troops are large in number, but their combat effectiveness is very low. The most important thing is that they are not determined. If they are led by soldiers of the Revolutionary Guards, they can exert strong combat effectiveness. However, after three hours of fighting like this, even the Revolutionary Guards were defeated. If they are disabled, what hope do they have?
When the spirit is highly tense, the conventional troops will certainly not relax, because they are facing the aggressive Prophet Army. They believe that if they don't fight, there will be no way out. They will all die anyway, so they will fight with the Prophet Army. Come on, try your best. More than 20,000 people are crammed into a few kilometers. It feels very small.
However, at the critical moment, the Prophet Army suddenly stopped attacking. Not only did the ground troops stop, but the artillery groups and aircraft also stopped bombing.[
The soldiers of these conventional troops thought in their hearts, wow, the attack has stopped. Could it be that the Prophet Army has no "medicine" and they don't need to die?
Nima was not "forced". Who wants to die? Since they don't have to die, they definitely want to live. War is the truth that tests everything. This sentence is appropriate to apply to Iran's conventional troops, so they began to discuss They rushed out. Anyway, the prophet army did not surround them.
When the first person runs away, the second person runs away, and when the second person runs away, the third person runs away, and then the whole army is defeated.
But can they really escape? The answer is no. Leaving the cover of the city, two feet can run past the armored troops of the Prophet Army.
Amer has no control over the fate of these troops, because the Prophet Army has occupied his headquarters. Although it is located underground, he has to face a choice: "suicide" by shooting himself, surrender, or Continuing to think about it, the Prophet Army became impatient and dropped a few bombs, burying him directly.
In the end, Amer chose to surrender, and he surrendered immediately without any delay. After all, they had not reached the point of annihilation of the country. According to his judgment, the Prophet Army did not have the ability to continue attacking other provinces. Although the Prophet Army was powerful in combat, But their numbers are too small. If the battlefield is spread out, not only will their logistics support not be able to keep up, they will not even have the ability to occupy it.
You can't be like the Mongols who massacre the city when they hit a place to maintain stability in the rear.
Doing this in modern times would probably cause public outrage around the world. Massacre is a taboo. Amer didn't think that the prophet would do something so irrational.
As he expected, after the Prophet's Army occupied Ahvaz, they did not massacre or do anything excessive. On the contrary, the Prophet's Army captured all the escaped troops and concentrated them in the city. Let them save people,
Yes, it is to save people. This may be an incredible order, but after Canglong captured Ahvaz, he issued three orders in a row, not to disturb the people and not to massacre prisoners. If the above two violate any one of them, military law will be dealt with, and the Prophet Army's There is only one military law, shoot to death,
The third order is to rescue people. Except for the troops maintaining order, most troops have been involved in rescue work. There are three million people in this city. There may be accidental injuries during the war, but after the war, Canglong must do Do your job and rescue all people who may have been accidentally injured in the war.
Amel could hardly believe this, but at this moment he finally understood that he did not lose unjustly. Such a rational commander is the most terrifying person.
After occupying Basra, Canglong immediately dispatched 20,000 militia troops from Shadegan to maintain order, and at the same time allowed two battalions of the air defense brigade to enter Ahvaz.
After doing all this, Canglong set his sights on Dizful, a city as important as Ahvaz. This is where the fourth Iranian air force base was crippled by Canglong. The strategic location here is also extremely important. It is far away from the capital Ahvaz. One hundred and twenty kilometers from Waz, it can be said to be the northern gateway of Khuzestan Province.
Once this place is occupied by the Iranian army in advance, Canglong and the others will face possible air threats, so Canglong works almost non-stop, dividing his troops into ten thousand and heading towards Dezful.
At the same time, we stepped up the mobilization of militia forces from within the country to supplement the lack of troops. There was no way they were fighting too fast and the battle lines were stretched too far.
They defeated an entire province in one night, which made the supply of troops a big problem. The Prophet's Army only had a total of more than 30,000 people. Fortunately, Khuzestan Province was about the same size as Basra, which is equivalent to a relatively large city in China. ,
The defense was not very strenuous, but Canglong could not put all the troops in Khuzestan Province. Instead, he immediately mobilized 10,000 people and returned to Basra to let the militia and 10,000 prophets defend Awa. Soldiers, returned troops, used to prevent possible crises,
But Canglong knew that the size of the Prophet Army was still too small. When they entered other provinces in Iraq in the future, they would inevitably face a shortage of troops, so they must expand their size after the war.[
In the temporary headquarters of Ahvaz, Canglong was receiving Iranian officials from Ahvaz. In his hand was a map of the oil fields in Khuzestan Province. He did not order the burning of these oil fields. On the contrary, he Some troops were dispatched to protect these oil fields and facilities.
The main oil fields in Khuzestan Province are all located around Ahvaz, and are close to Basra. This means that as long as they hold Ahvaz, they can use equipment that has not been cleared by the Iranian army in time to exploit oil. ,
Some people may say, there is already so much oil in Basra, why do we need to go all the way to get oil from Khuzestan Province? It is very simple. If you are rich, do you want to be richer?
What surprised Canglong was that due to the recent instability in the Persian Gulf, although a lot of oil was mined in Khuzestan Province, it was not shipped out. So after Canglong occupied this place, he received a big gift, nearly half a million yuan. Barrels of crude oil were ready. Without saying a word, Canglong immediately asked the militia troops to take the oil and trucks to Basra.
You must know that this is all money. Half a million barrels can be sold for nearly 40 million US dollars. He needs money to fight the war, and he also needs money to occupy this place. Now he wants to get it back. Before the Iranians counterattack or negotiate, he needs money. It’s definitely not a loss,
After he occupied Ahvaz, the people here hated them very much at first, but with a series of measures, those who resisted disappeared, and officials also calmed the local people. After a bloody battle, they all saw how powerful the Prophet Army was, so relatively few people resisted.
The management conditions implemented by Canglong are also very simple, with high benefits and high risks.
I can occupy this place, rescue people after the war, distribute supplies to you, maintain order here, and prevent the army from disturbing the people. But if you take any irrational behavior against the army, I'm sorry, I can only pull you into a corner.
, execute the execution,
Under the double standard, there are fewer and fewer rebels. Of course, this is also based on another condition. The occupying army is not the army of Western countries, but the prophet army with the same culture and ethnicity as them. During the Iran-Iraq war, they
I understand the truth that war is a matter for the military. As long as there is no foreign invasion, they can tolerate the occupation by people of the same ethnicity and skin color.
In their bones, they believe that sooner or later, the occupation will end and they will return to the embrace of Iran, just like the Iran-Iraq War. The two sides fought, you occupied some of my territories, I occupied some of yours, and finally the war ended and everything
Return to the original state, just as it happened,
Canglong has nothing to say to these officials. He only asks them to do their duty and appease the people. He will not take any drastic action against the people here. Basically, you should do whatever you want. I will help you as much as possible.
Don't play any tricks, otherwise don't blame me for not sparing anyone.
After dealing with these officials, Canglong picked up another document, which was the battle damage report of the bloody battle of Ahvaz. Even under such a plan, their losses were very serious. Dozens of main battle tanks were lost, and five tanks were lost.
Repair, more than twenty armored vehicles were lost, most of which were difficult to repair,
The casualties reached 3,000, with 2,000 killed and 1,000 seriously injured, most of them infantrymen of the field division. Although this casualty was absolutely acceptable for the results of this war, Canglong still felt heavy in his heart.
He could explain it away by saying that there will always be casualties in war, but wouldn't it be better to have war? These people don't have to die. They are all fresh and young lives.
But wars will always happen. This is something Canglong can do nothing to prevent. The way is, if you don’t fight others, others will fight you. If you don’t fight others’ territory, then others will hit your territory.
slaughter your people,
In contrast, Canglong is more willing to choose to attack proactively to defend the lives and safety of his people.
However, the Iranian army suffered heavy losses. Ten thousand Revolutionary Guards were killed and less than a few hundred survived after the war. Canglong did not do anything to them. Instead, he asked military doctors to give them the best medical treatment. They were admirable enemies.
, compared to those prisoners who escaped, although Canglong captured nearly 30,000 people (some were disguised as civilians and hid in residential buildings), only a few thousand of them were injured.
Therefore, except for the injured prisoners, most of the others were driven directly to the desert near Ahvaz by Canglong and kept under centralized care. They were only provided with a fixed amount of water and food.
After settling everything, Canglong began to wait, waiting for Heichang to capture Dizful and waiting for the Iranian army's counterattack. But after he waited for a long time, the Air Force's reconnaissance plane told him that the Iranian army was more than 100 kilometers away from Ahvaz.
Stopped on the outskirts of Ramholmuz,
When he was wondering, Vivian also sent someone to bring a message. An Iranian envoy had arrived in Basra and was seeking negotiations. This envoy arrived in Basra an hour before he attacked Ahvaz.
