When the Iraq-Iran War first began, under the command of President Saddam, although Iran was caught off guard and was attacked into the mainland, they made the invading Iraqi army pay a heavy price, and in terms of the strategic situation, it gradually became beneficial to Iran.

Until Kusai Abdullah arrived in the Southern Military Region, the situation changed. From then on, Iran had almost no good life.

Now, there are several provinces in southern and northern Iran. Although they are full of confidence in Iran on the surface and believe that they will definitely defeat the invaders, they may only know what they think in their hearts.

What's more, those who now hold military power by Iran do not understand military affairs. It would be good if those people who have received higher education in Western military academies can be released from prison. They have no ability to enter the top management, and they are even more unlikely to point fingers at the current situation.

At this time, the Prime Minister, who was a civil servant, understood more clearly. Iraq was aggressive this time, so how could it be that it could just throw a few bombs and leave?

"We have set up a line of defense in the Central and Ghazwan provinces. If the Iraqis want to attack, then they have to cross our line of defense first," said Muhsin.

Rafsanjani knew that now, the Iraqi army had crossed the Iranian plateau. In order to prevent the Iraqi army from continuing its attack, the second-line reserve team set up a defense line in the Central Province and Ghazwin. However, these people were poorly equipped and had not been trained, and were simply cannon fodder.

Because there are not many regular Iranian troops, they cannot attack and must stay in the city of Tehran. Although these senior Iranian personnel have insufficient command experience, they have experienced these wars after all. Knowing that their current troops have left Tehran, they cannot resist the attack of Iraqi armored troops. They can only rely on Tehran to engage in street battles with Iraqi troops. Even if Tehran is still lost in the end, they will definitely kill Iraqi soldiers in large numbers, so that they can play a role, just like the Battle of Horamshahr in 1981, after which the Iraqi army will no longer dare to venture into Abadan. They are afraid of suffering the same losses.

Let Tehran become the second Horamshahr, and let the blood of the Iraqi people pay tribute to the great Iran!

While Iranian top leaders are discussing the cause of Iraq's sudden attack, there has been a change in the front line.

In the north of Hamadan, Razan, an Iraqi feint force has begun their attack.

This is a mechanized and invasive battalion equipped with dozens of Type 63 infantry fighting vehicles and several Type 69 tanks. They showed their teeth towards Iran's defense line.

Before Iran's second-line troops could react, they had already rushed to Iran's defense line, tore all the infantry guarding several companies there into pieces, and then continued to move forward in the direction of Tehran.

The Iranian army did not resist decently at all, and their combat qualities were too poor.

This army, undoubtedly, must have come to Tehran!

Because it was dark, the surviving Iranian soldiers did not see clearly how many troops were there that broke through their own defense. They only knew that the chariots were rumbling and they were attacked by Iraqis.

The information was quickly passed upwards and arrived in Tehran.

The meeting was just over and a preliminary consensus was reached. Pay close attention to the movements of the Iraqi army and mobilize all troops in Tehran at any time. Prepare for the subsequent street fighting, and even pass a resolution to distribute weapons to the citizens and call on them to resist the Iraqi invasion together.

Due to the situation today, Rafsanjani decided to transfer the special group of people in the army, namely the Jewish instructor, to the rear.

"Instructor Odo, thank you for your help during this period." Rafsanjani said: "Now, the Iraqi army is showing signs of advancing towards Tehran. For your safety, please ask your instructor team to retreat to Yazd in the rear."

"Mr. Chairman." Odo said: "Now, Tehran is facing danger. Although we are a volunteer army, we are willing to fight with you. Moreover, with our instructors, we can make our soldiers more flexible in fighting. We are willing to contribute our own strength to your just war."

If a young man from Iran heard the words of Odo, he might be very moved. However, for Rafsanjani, who has already experienced countless times, he knows what the other party is planning.

If they train their army, there is a risk that the army will be controlled by them. Now, in the street fighting in Tehran that may come later, if they are allowed to command the army, no matter how far they fight, it will be a very dangerous behavior for the Tehran government.

As a qualified politician, you must see further than others.

"Last time, your country's aid weapons were discovered, your top leaders were greatly affected. Now, if you participate in the street fighting in Tehran, then if you are discovered by Iraqis, your top leaders will have great trouble. Although you come here as a volunteer, it may have a bad impact on your country internationally." Rafsanjani said: "And the task of training the six newly formed infantry divisions in Yazd is even more arduous, and they will shoulder the heavy responsibility of future counterattacks."

Rafsanjani generously rejected the other party's kindness, and Odo was not dissatisfied, but said: "This Iraqi attack is a bit strange. I hope you can keep your eyes open. The real target of Iraq's attack may not be Tehran."

Rafsanjani's heart tightened. In fact, this idea had been hovering in his mind for a long time. No matter how well Iraq was prepared, they would not know that now they have deployed a lot of troops in Tehran. If the other party wants to take Tehran, it will cost a lot of casualties.

But if the Iraqis’ target is not here, then all their military plans and combat plans are useless now.

Apart from this place, there is only another place worthy of large-scale attack by the Iraqis, the city in the desert that is more important to Iran, 135 kilometers south of Tehran!

Rafsanjani just felt a little in his heart. Even as Iran's almost supreme leader, he did not dare to think about how brave Iraq is to attack that place.

However, now it seems that Iraq really has this possibility. Now there is nothing that the young man named Kusai dares to do. Don’t he know that that will arouse public outrage from the entire Iranian people? Or does he just don’t care at all, because he already has that ability?

Compared to Tehran, that city is almost unguarded, and there is no armed force except for an infantry battalion guarding the periphery there.

It seems that it is time to send troops to strengthen the defense there. Even if the Revolutionary Guards are drawn from Tehran, they must protect the security there, and the Supreme Spiritual Leader is still there.

"No matter where the true purpose of the Iraqi attack is, we will defend closely and completely defeat the Iraqi conspiracy. This is like Moscow in World War II, which will become a turning point in our great war." Rafsanjani said.

After seeing off the Jews, Rafsanjani received amazing news: the Iraqi army had already begun to attack at night, and they had crossed the line of defense arranged on the periphery and were heading towards Tehran!

If it weren't for the conversation with Odo just now, Rafsanjani would have been going to order the army to prepare for street fighting in Tehran, but now his mind has been calmer.

"How many troops did they come in total? How many armored vehicles did they have?" asked Rafsanjani.

"The exact numbers are being counted." However, the several companies we arranged on that line of defense have suffered heavy casualties."

After only a few companies died, they were so shocked that they even reported to themselves! Rafsanjani was a little angry, but suddenly, he thought of another situation that made him suspicious.

If the Iraqi army is really ready to attack Tehran, then it will definitely break through on several defense lines at the same time. How could there be only a few companies of their casualties? This is clearly a small force of the Iraqis, and it is definitely not their main force.

From the complicated battle situation, Rafsanjani was carefully sorting out his thoughts, and at the same time, his mind became clearer and clearer.

Until now, these actions in Iraq have been just feints. Their real target is definitely not Tehran!

It seems that I really underestimated Kusai's courage.

"Order the Air Force to take off the reconnaissance plane immediately, focusing on reconnaissance of Iraq's armored forces at the junction of western Central Province and Hamadan, whether there are signs of large-scale deployment."

"Reported that the airport has been blown up today and is under emergency repairs."

The Iraqis destroyed their own airports, probably for this purpose!

"Then take off the helicopter and conduct reconnaissance immediately. At the same time, let the troops stationed in the Central Province immediately send reconnaissance soldiers to check the situation on the route from Hamadan to Kum." Rafsanjani's face was a little terrible.

In the night, the movement of the feinted Jibuying camp slowed down. After pushing forward for fifty kilometers, they almost stopped.

At the same time, in the dark night, another main attack force, the powerful Iraqi armored force, and the Fourth Armored Division equipped with T-72 as the main battle, began their other long-range raid.

After lifting off the covered camouflage net, the Fourth Armored Division began to quietly head southeast from the gap opened by the Mechanical and Budian Battalion.
