Chapter 693 Baghdad Night
This night was the most desperate day for the once arrogant Kamal brothers.
They could have been a member of the Iraqi government. Their two ministerial figures, at the top of Iraq, can also be said to be very powerful, but they were unable to grasp military power. Because of their ambitions and dissatisfaction, they made a wrong step and, under the instigation of certain forces, embarked on the road of rebellion.
Hussein Kamal, the son-in-law of President Saddam and the brother-in-law of the current President Kusai, conspired to launch a rebellion, and with the support of the United States, he reached the peak of power.
Unfortunately, Kusai didn't give him this opportunity.
When Hussein Kamal walked onto the streets of July 14 with his own guards, he was still full of confidence. Because Baghdad is now an unguarded city.
Several cars, carrying Hussein Kamal's men, embarked on this road of no return.
What awaits them is death.
Guarding at the intersection were two T-72 tanks of the armored regiment. The tank's muzzles were scanning the two sides of the street with vigilant eyes.
Suddenly, the captain in the tank discovered the convoy coming from afar.
"Note that there are people approaching." The captain shouted in the radio, and suddenly, the infantry inside the two bmp-1 infantry fighting vehicles were already running into the temporary shelters on both sides of the street, ready for combat.
In the early morning, Baghdad was already a little chilly. The soldiers opened their eyes wide and looked at a convoy gradually approaching the streets hidden under the street lights in front of them.
The car in front suddenly stopped.
"Why not leave?" asked Hussein Kamal, and he poked his head out and looked forward.
Seeing the giant creature, Hussein Kamal suddenly felt a chill from the bottom of his heart. He still knew that the things in front were tanks!
If there are tanks guarding at the intersection, it means that Baghdad has been martial law. Where did this armored force come from? Has it happened?
Hussein Kamal frowned. He was very convinced that he had not been exposed yet. Otherwise, he would have been secretly targeted and could not be able to move in and out freely. He could still lead these people to the target. The temporary martial law appeared. It is likely that for other reasons, he no longer had a way out and his internal agents had been determined. As long as he took down the Ministry of Defense and the Palace of the Republic, even if he succeeded this time, Saddam Hussein had already mobilized the special guards. When this team came, it was still possible to use the terrain to deal with tanks. Even if these troops were not good for him, as long as he achieved his goal first, he would have taken the lead.
Although the situation is not optimistic, there is no turning back when the arrow is drawn. Hussein Kamal decided to keep going and move forward. He may be able to deal with these people at the intersection with him as his identity. After all, he is still the Minister of Sports in Iraq.
Although Kamal has served as a soldier, he has never been to the battlefield and lacks intuition about the situation on the battlefield. In this case, as a coup, he still dares to move forward like this, which only shows that the throne of power is too tempting and will make people take risks.
"Report. Suspicious persons were found riding six cars and approaching us." The responsible platoon leader at the intersection reported upwards at the same time.
"Watch closely, if they possess weapons, follow the orders and fire to destroy them." A familiar voice came from the radio.
If they were just ordinary citizens, although it was already late at night, they could not open fire at will. The orders they received were targeting armed personnel.
Watching the opponent's convoy slowly drive, a soldier on the road shouted: "Stop moving forward!"
"The Minister of Sports has just returned from the National Stadium. Passing here, please give way." A person poked his head out of a car in front of him.
The Minister of Sports? The platoon leader was a little confused. In his eyes, the Minister of Sports was a big shot, but what they had to stop was probably the rebellion of the big shot.
The platoon leader got out of the infantry fighting vehicle and walked forward towards the already stopped convoy.
Hussein Kamal opened the car window and revealed his head.
The platoon leader knew that this person often appeared on TV, and he was indeed the Minister of Sports.
"Let it go." said the platoon leader.
The tank rumbled and made way for the road. Performing missions in the capital is a very complicated matter. If suspicious militants are released, they will be suspected of dereliction of duty. If the senior figures are accidentally attacked, they may immediately become rebels.
The Minister of Sports went home by himself, so he couldn't kill him, right?
The convoy began to slowly drive past the tanks at the blockade intersection.
When the last car passed by, the platoon leader suddenly felt something was wrong. When the Sports Minister came home, there was no need for so many people to follow him, right? He remembered that when they came just now, they had passed by the National Stadium. After get off work, there was no one at all, the lights were on, and there were no cars in the parking lot outside!
He suddenly woke up, no, the National Stadium was not in that direction at all. On their way, which is the direction of the current convoy, how could they have returned from the National Stadium?
There is a problem!
"Stop!" the platoon leader shouted.
At this time, a man suddenly stood up in the last car and raised his automatic rifle.
"Baopao," a few bullets hit the cement road under the platoon leader's feet. The platoon leader had skillfully rolled to the temporary shelter on the side.
They have weapons! And they fought back! This means that they are unknown armed personnel that their side needs to eliminate!
"Fire!" The platoon leader just finished speaking, and his tanks and soldiers began to fight back.
Hussein Kamal couldn't help but want to curse. The guy who was in the car behind him had a bad thing, but a sound that made him stand was heard from behind, and the guy couldn't control it.
People who have first walked onto the battlefield, even if they pat their chests and say they are brave before leaving, they will still have various abnormal reactions when they arrive on the battlefield. This is a normal reaction for people. Only old soldiers who have experienced many battles can face the whistling bullets calmly.
The people gathered by Hussein Kamal were usually brave enough in Baghdad, but now they are still unable to maintain enough sober facing this situation.
Immediately, there were fierce exchanges of fires one after another. Kamal's first few cars were moving forward quickly, leaving only one intersection left from the Ministry of Defense building they were going to control.
The two cars behind were already beaten into hornet's nests in the fierce firefighting behind. Hussein Kamal no longer cared about the cars behind. He needed to rush through the intersection in front and take down the Ministry of National Defense!
At this time, he actually regretted it. If the fight between his hundred people is not enough, it will be easy to deal with.
Kamal's convoy, before he reached the intersection, was hit by another fierce attack.
They have been exposed, and they are holding weapons and firing first at the martial law troops, which is enough to show that they are the people that the martial law troops need to deal with.
The soldiers of the ** Armored Regiment guarding at the intersection in front were ready. When the cars arrived, the 73mm caliber 2a28 low-pressure smoothbore gun in front of the bmp-1 infantry fighting vehicle first tore through the silence of the night sky in the entire Baghdad city. The car in front was immediately lifted up under the fire.
In such streets with many residents, the power of using tank guns is too amazing, but the artillery of this infantry fighting vehicle is enough to deal with ordinary vehicles.
Seeing a ball of fire appearing in front of him, the car was lifted up. Hussein Kamal, who was sitting in the second car, knew that something was wrong. There were interceptors in front and heavy weapons. At most, they could not deal with ordinary soldiers with rocket launchers.
Moreover, what they need to consider now is how not to be eliminated, rather than attacking the Ministry of Defense.
"Hold on, our reinforcements will arrive soon." Hussein Kamal still has great confidence that his brother will order the President's private security special guard. Maybe he will come here in the next second and participate in the battle.
Although those tanks look majestic, they still have a chance to break through the weak armor at the back of the opponent by just going up from the building next to them and launching rockets from the side.
They had no chance. Then, the soldiers of the Mechanical Infantry Battalion in the infantry fighting vehicle had already entered the battle. They began to encircle from the side and followed the soldiers coming from the intersection behind to form an encirclement circle, completely surrounding these unknown armed personnel, and they could no longer escape.
The citizens of Baghdad spent the night in fear. They heard the sound of gunfire outside and knew that another big thing had happened in Baghdad.
They remembered that Baghdad had finally calmed down after several turmoils a few years ago. Is it going to be staged again?
The gunshots only took more than ten minutes before calming down, but many people couldn't sleep all night.
There was another group of people who had already devoted themselves to the Kamal brothers. They heard the gunshots and knew that the Kamal brothers had taken action, but they did not know whether they had succeeded and whether the heavens in Baghdad had changed.
By the next day, you will know the exact situation!
They didn't wait until the arrest began before dawn, and anyone who had been too close to the Kamal brothers and had sufficient evidence recently was arrested.
