Chapter 442: Eliminate the Terrorist Government

Seven o'clock in the evening, prime time for TV.

The beautiful female announcer read out the speech sent by senior leaders in front of the camera.

"Just today, two terrorist attacks occurred in our Soviet land. An Iranian man with explosives tied to his body attempted to use a suicide attack on our Olympic Games. He has been subdued by our security personnel. At the same time, we will increase inspections of people entering the Olympic Games. If necessary, we may even require them to undress. Please cooperate." said the announcer.

This attack has actually spread all over the world. It is the number one event of this year's Olympics. Countless reporters are staring at the TV screens, waiting to see what the next terrorist attack will be.

The TV camera was switched and only the announcer's voice remained.

"This morning, while the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was underway, 34 Iranian terrorists attacked one of our primary schools in Ashgabat, and hundreds of students and teachers became hostages in the hands of the terrorists."

The camera showed the scene at that time. Outside, the police force was surrounding them, and inside, on the teaching building, was where the terrorists were! Then, the camera switched to the scene inside! The hostages were squatting on the ground, shivering, and the terrorists were all Iranians with big beards!

"Our attitude towards terrorism is to never compromise!" As soon as we learned the news, we dispatched a professional special forces team to fight against terrorism, eliminated all terrorists in one fell swoop, and rescued the hostages. Now, the hostages' emotions have been stabilized and they are all safe."

The footage was still shot by that special camera, and it was seen that the special forces soldiers suddenly broke in and kept shooting at the terrorists inside. However, those terrorists were like dead pigs, allowing the special forces soldiers to slaughter them.

"The current Iranian regime maliciously created these terrorist attacks, which is a provocation to our government. In order to thoroughly combat terrorism, to maintain the normal progress of the Moscow Olympics, and to prevent our citizens from suffering from terrorist attacks, our government has decided to strike at the source of this terrorist organization!" The announcer's voice began to be extremely serious: "This is the responsibility of our government. In order to maintain world peace and stability, we must fight terrorism with all our might!"

The head of the Soviet Foreign Minister, Gromyko, appeared on the screen. He said firmly to the camera: "We have every reason to believe that it is the current Iranian government in Tehran that has concocted these terrorist attacks. We must start to strike this government mercilessly from now on until this terrorist government is completely eliminated! Since the establishment of this government, it has been creating various terrorist incidents at home and abroad. We can no longer tolerate it!"

Destroy the Tehran government of Iran! Taking advantage of the attack on the Moscow Olympics and the kidnapping of innocent people in the school, Moscow's anger has finally reached a limit, and they are going to take action!

At the same time as this statement was released, the Soviet fist was finally extended, and the attack on Iran officially began!

What does Iran have now? When the American army invaded all the way, the total casualties in Iran exceeded 100,000, and those were the most staunch believers. In addition, the United States carried out indiscriminate bombing on various military and industrial targets in Iran.

At the same time, Iraq is now engaged in a full-scale war of annihilation with Iran, and the focus of the fighting between the two sides is concentrated in Isfahan, where Iran's most elite Islamic Guards are fighting fiercely with Iraq's Republican Guards, with both sides suffering heavy casualties.

The blood of those fanatical believers in Iran dyed the land of Iran red, and the eastern part of Iran became almost undefended cities.

The opportunity chosen by the Soviet Union is the most appropriate!

Andrei, who was stationed in Turkmenistan, received the official order from Moscow and immediately issued the most important order to his subordinates since he took office in the Turkestan Military Region.

Save Persia, the operation officially begins!

Yes, the Soviet Union's approach is to save Persia! The current government is wrong, they are an evil government controlled by extremist organizations! Iran must be liberated and Persia must be saved!

The army, which had been ready on the Turkmenistan side, began a military operation that had been planned countless times before, and marched south!

The rolling armored torrent, the military exercises that shocked the entire West during the Western 79 military exercises, has now become a reality!

A large number of aircraft took off from the air force base in Turkmenistan, which is closest to Iran. After these days of consumption, the Iranian Air Force has long lost any combat effectiveness. Therefore, the aircraft that took off were all loaded with heavy bombs. Their mission was to attack the ground and blow up Iran's various border positions to pave the way for the troops in the rear to advance.

The main force of the attack was the 40th Army, including the 5th Guards Motorized Infantry Division, the 108th Motorized Infantry Division, the 201st Motorized Infantry Division, the 68th Motorized Infantry Division and other veteran ground forces, which began the attack on Iran. At the forefront was the independent 149th Infantry Division.

When the heavy equipment was cut, the division commander Choibalsan was extremely depressed. For a traditional Soviet army, armored troops were their magic weapon, but now, the T-62 tank regiment of the 149th Division was compressed into a T-72 tank battalion, with two-thirds fewer tanks! At the same time, the organization of other motorized infantry battalions was replaced with BTR-70 infantry fighting vehicles.

However, the 149th Infantry Division's assault capability has not decreased, because they have added a new flight regiment! A full 40 Mi-24 attack helicopters!

Now, the 149th Infantry Division, which serves as the vanguard of the assault, is attacking rapidly under the guidance of the Mi-24 armed helicopters!

To get from Turkmenistan to Iran, one has to cross the Kopet Damascus Mountains. These undulating mountains are the biggest challenge for the Soviet armored forces. Only a few roads in the mountains are passable, and they also have to take into account that Iranian border troops may be ambushing on the top of the mountain.

It is somewhat similar to the historical invasion of Afghanistan, and Andre's current changes make the assault of the 149th Infantry Division very easy.

The Mi-24 helicopters were roaring and flying low over the hills. Fortunately, the Iranians were not prepared at all, and the only remaining outposts on the top of the hill had been destroyed by the first batch of Su-24 attack aircraft.
