Therefore, he sent the commander of the air force to extend a warm welcome to these returning warriors.

In terms of establishment, all the air forces are under the jurisdiction of Abid, the air force commander. However, since Qusay arrived in the south, he has single-handedly grasped the construction of all the troops in the southern military region, including the air force. Naturally, Abid will not intervene very knowingly.

And now, seeing these American-made fighters equipped by the Southern Military Region, Abed is also very jealous.

As the commander of the Air Force, he must be a pilot. Abed naturally knows what those fighter planes mean.

If the Northern Military Region were to dispatch the air force to bomb the Tehran Air Force Base, they would have twice as many fighters, and they would definitely not be able to achieve the current effect!

Especially as the commander of the Air Force, after welcoming these fighter pilots from the Southern Military Region at the airport, he himself stepped into the cockpit of the F-20 with great interest. After seeing the internal instruments, he was even more amazed!

Anyway, the F-20 production line is also set up in the south, and I must ask Mr. Qusay for some fighters to equip the northern military region in the future!

Although the president negotiated a deal with the Soviet Union and introduced a batch of Soviet "advanced" fighter jets, Abed knew that it was not as powerful as this F-20 fighter jet.

Iraq successfully bombed Iran's most heavily defended Tehran Air Force Base, and completely destroyed the entire base. The news immediately spread around the world, attracting the analysis of countless military experts.

The Tehran Air Force Base has a long-range early warning radar, which is deployed on the western defense line. How did the fighter planes of the Iraqi Air Force escape the surveillance of the radar and suddenly appear above the Tehran Air Force Base?

Many military experts have analyzed that there must be a cruise missile in Iraq's arsenal!First use this kind of cruise missile to knock out the opponent's long-range radar, so that they can fly over the opponent and drop their equipped laser-guided bombs and Maverick air-to-ground missiles.Laser-guided bombs are used to bomb large targets, and one is enough to paralyze the opponent, while Maverick missiles are used to strike multiple scattered targets, and none of the important targets will be missed.

Iraq, on the other hand, dispatched so few fighter planes and did not carry ordinary aerial bombs at all. This shows that the application of precision-guided weapons can be several times that of ordinary aerial bombs. In future air strikes, precision-guided weapons can be used. Play a very good effect.

It is even more important to use cruise missiles to covertly attack first and kill the opponent's long-range security capabilities.

This battle example has contributed to the research and development of long-range cruise missiles in various countries.

Northrop, on the other hand, vigorously publicized this record, which is entirely due to the F-20 fighter. Although this fighter was born out of the F-5, it is already a brand new fighter. For ground bombing, the F-20 is fully capable of low-intensity battles.

Although everyone's eyes were on Liangyi, few people noticed that another major event was happening quietly.

"Where have the hostages gone?" Khomeini asked.

Fortunately, he saved this hand for himself, and now it seems that it will finally come in handy.

"Tabriz," said Rafsanjani.

Khomeini looked at the map on the wall and said, "Urge the United States immediately to hand over the arms to us first, otherwise, the hostages can only stay in Tabriz temporarily."

Rafsanjani was taken aback. According to the prior agreement, the Americans needed to wait for the hostages to reach the border with Turkey, and the Americans transported the ammunition to the shore at the same time. Will doing so now stimulate the United States?

However, Tabriz is not too far from the Turkish border, so it makes sense to do so.

Looking at the map and getting closer to the Turkish border, McFarlane became more and more impatient. He knew that now was the most dangerous time.

Khomeini asked them to leave by car, and McFarlane knew it was full of variables. However, the other party did not agree to the plane coming to pick them up, and they had no other way.

Now, the front and back of the convoy are "protected" by the Iranians. Even if they want to run, they will never be able to escape.

However, the temperament of the Americans in the car was obviously much better. They only knew that they would be able to go home in two days.

Compared to the passengers on other flights, they are unlucky, but compared to the embassy incident last time, they are lucky.

Suddenly, the car in front stopped.

what happened?McFarlane stuck his head out of the window in doubt.

"Sir, our superior has called, please answer it." An Iranian came over and said.

Telephone?McFarlane was a little puzzled, what phone number?

He got out of the car and came to the car in front. An Iranian company commander who was in charge of the escort said, "Our superiors have something to discuss with you."

McFarlane was the main person in charge of the weapons-for-hostage incident. When he picked up the radio, he heard a familiar voice say: "Mr. McFarlane, we need to get those weapons immediately."

McFarlane was taken aback, and said, "According to our agreement, the munitions can only be sent to the port after we all evacuate safely. It is very difficult for me to meet your request."

"Maybe you also know that our air base was attacked by the shameful Iraqis yesterday. Our fighter planes are in short supply, and some parts were also destroyed in yesterday's air strike. Therefore, we need that batch of munitions very much."

"Sorry, I have to follow our agreement. This is a guarantee for the personal safety of all our hostages." McFarlane said very directly.

"Then please hand over the phone to the company commander." The words from inside made McFarland suddenly feel a chill in his back.

He looked at the company commander beside him, and he knew that as long as he handed over the phone to the other party, the other party would definitely change his face in the next moment, and these hostages of his might all be re-entered.

what to do?Agree to the other party's request?Or run away?

According to the second action plan, when they are approaching the Turkish border, they will be secretly supported by soldiers from the Delta Special Forces, but it is still a little far away.

"Give me the phone." The company commander next to him said immediately when he saw that McFarlane did not speak or move.

"Boom!" At this moment, suddenly, a huge explosion sounded from behind.

Chapter 361 "Rescue" the hostages

A day ago, the Rattlesnake Special Forces infiltrated near Tabriz and lurked here, because, according to the news from the Messiah Bureau, those hostages would definitely go this way.

Just a few hours ago, they received another confirmation from the Messiah Bureau, and Hades finally announced the mission of this operation: "rescue" the hostages.

"The American hostages have been held by the Iranians for more than a month, and now they are being escorted here again. We have an obligation to rescue these hostages!" Hades said loudly.

Unexpectedly, his words only attracted a burst of ridicule.

"Captain, are we going to rescue the hostages?" A special team member said, he didn't take the majesty of Hades, the captain, into his heart at all.

"Yeah, I thought we were going to catch Khomeini!"

"Last time, the Yankees supported Israel during the Lebanon War and imposed sanctions on us. Let's rescue the American hostages? Captain, don't be ridiculous. By Allah, I want to catch two American hostages." look!"

"Shut up!" Hades was angry: "You guys, you didn't take my words to heart, did you? I meant to capture the American hostages! Wrong, to rescue the American hostages!"

"That's right, I want everyone to catch the American hostages." At this time, the intelligence officer from the Messiah Bureau next to him said that it was the female intelligence officer Hasal who had successfully cooperated with them last time, because the matter was of great importance. Yurid sent her out again, and Hassar, who also wanted to deal with some private matters, needed to come here.

"Now, the hostages are in the hands of the Iranians. They say they want to send these hostages to the Turkish border for release, but the price is that the Americans send them a few ships of weapons! Our comrades-in-arms in the north were blocked in Bakhtaran. Because of this incident, we must not let the Iranian conspiracy succeed! We need to rescue the hostages and let the deal between Tehran and the United States fail!"

Soldiers take it as their bounden duty to obey orders and never ask why, but if they are not allowed to understand the importance of this matter, then these members of the special forces who seem to take this operation so lightly are likely to do bad things, so haha Thrall revealed his true purpose, which was also explained by Your Excellency Qusay before leaving, and he can tell the soldiers the truth when necessary.

Sure enough, after hearing the truth, all the soldiers were filled with righteous indignation: "The Yankees are so hateful that they exchanged weapons for hostages! We should kill the hostages, so that they cannot be exchanged!"

"No, the hostages are innocent, we just need to rescue them, so that Khomeini's conspiracy cannot be carried out!"

"Yes, let's rescue the hostages!"

The Rattlesnake Special Forces finally started their strangest mission: "rescue" the hostages.

The purpose of this action is outrageous.

They were ambushing on the ground they had to pass through, and what made them even more happy was that the opponent actually stopped within their ambush circle.
