Chapter 614: The Basra Uprising
Basra ranks second among Iraq's cities, second only to the capital Baghdad. Basra is also Iraq's largest port and only seaport, so its status is not worse than Baghdad at all. ∈∈∈∈ There are Christians here, and Mandas belong to a sect of Christianity, which has a history of thousands of years in southern Iraq. At the same time, it is Iraq's earliest group activity site, and Iraq also regards this as a key activity area.
"Actually, I don't know when the Iraqi side's actions will start, but it should be these few days. All our directions will arrive in these few days." Selov, who was on duty in Ruby Yangka, raised his son high, causing a burst of laughter. He was explaining to his wife why he worked. In the past few days, Valia will be here to accompany his husband.
Indeed, Selov did not crucify time. When is the most appropriate time, Iraqi **’s final say. Otherwise, this kind of command that ignores the actual situation is harmful to Iraq. If you remember correctly, it seems to be dogmatism. No matter how much Selov analyzed in Ruby Yangka, it is impossible for the locals to understand the local area better than the Iraqi locals. They should prepare what they need for Iraq, and they still have to rely on themselves for the rest.
"Is this the reason why you are not at home?" Valia pinched her waist with her hands and said indignantly, "Do you think the country will not be able to leave you? Why don't you marry Rubiy Yangka as your wife?"
"Do you think I am Zamiajing, the first secretary of the Communist Youth League?" Xie Luofu smiled and put down his son, pinched his wife's face and whispered, "Oh, I understand, it's itchy below, right? I can understand, after all, the demand for women is growing, but who said that this is not possible, it's not a place to live?"
"Why are you talking so hard that your son can understand it?" Valia leaned against her husband, looking at her son standing on the table with beautiful eyes. The little guy's eyes rolled around, looking at her parents curiously.
"That means my son is smart!" Selov glanced at his son. Anyway, there will be such a day sooner or later. Men of gender and women are all like this. Isn't normal people like this? It's worth making a fuss?
Basra is the largest transportation center in southern Iraq, with inland shipping and railways connected to Baghdad. Once the war is delayed, Basra will become the largest logistics base for Iraqi and government forces to engage in a protracted war. For Iraqi, they hope to quickly control the entire region and then raise the banner to ask the Soviet group for help.
Selov also arranged a country as the main support unit, Bulgaria, the most reliable ally of the Soviet Union. Malakov, Chairman of the Bulgarian National Security Council, had made relevant preparations. At this time, Iraq had decided to revolt, and the time was set at the late night of January 10th. Almost all underground party members who had developed in this decade were ready, and the first secretary Hussein Alladi had already taken the Central Committee here to hide in the surrounding villages.
This season is a better time, because many Iraqi people have learned in the Soviet Union and know how to fight under low temperatures. You should know that the city of Basra is the hottest place in the world, with a room temperature of around 50 degrees in summer.
Late at night, the Iraqi leadership, including Hussein Alladi, was anxiously waiting for the news in a small village. They all knew that this would be the time to determine their destiny and they must succeed, otherwise the socialist forces in the entire Iraq would be devastatingly hit.
At this time, the underground party members who had already received the news were waiting anxiously. For the underground party members, this kind of waiting was very painful, because they did not know how many of them were working secretly like them. Many people trained by the Soviet Union had already been scattered throughout Iraq and did not know each other.
But under the cover of the night, the forces gathered from all over the city were accumulating. Even when they suddenly discovered each other, they were surprised. Unexpectedly, the other party was also his own. Finally, an accident made the whole city boil. Everyone was ready to occupy important places without bloodshed, but several police officers from the home from get off work interrogated several underground party members, which made the very nervous Iraqi Communist Party members very nervous and directly robbed and killed the police.
Now, there is no need to hide. The sound of the uprising marked the official beginning of the uprising. The uprisingers from all over the city flocked to several important institutions, telegraph offices, railway stations and post offices. For a time, the entire Basra made a loud noise, and there were tens of thousands of insurrections tied with red cloth on their right arm. They attacked the valuable targets of the entire Basra regardless of the primary and secondary.
"Major Arif, should we inform the division commander immediately? ** has rebelled?" A captain with a nervous expression and sweaty expression came in and found the deputy commander of the Basra Security Corps.
"That's right." Arif agreed and took out a shot and killed the other party without hesitation. Then he took out the red cloth and tied it to his right arm, picked up the phone and said, "Go to me to find the commander of the regiment, let's talk to him."
Given that Shiite residents, who are the main component of the Basra population, have always had anti-Sunni sentiment, Iraq has tried hard to win support from the beginning. Success and failure not only concern the success of the entire liberation of Iraq, but also decisively important for Iraq's reconstruction after the war. However, for many people trained by the Soviet Union, this kind of support is unnecessary, so among some of the insurrections, they were ready to take advantage of the chaos to kill more famous religious figures first, and then directly push them to the chaotic situation.
The defenders in Basra City are poorly equipped and insufficient supply, so no Iranian reinforcements can appear. In terms of architectural structure, it is composed of a group of traditional buildings with fragile structures, and it is difficult to turn them into solid resistance strongholds. At the same time, the rebels' positions have been wedged deeply into the periphery of the city, and from the forefront positions, it only takes half an hour to reach the city center.
As the city where Iraq's key business is operated, Basra's power is far beyond the outside world's estimates. After one night, only a few important strongholds were still under the control of the military government. Abdullahrahman and a group of Iraq's Central Committee members persuaded the soldiers who were still defending inside. Except for the Post and Telecommunications Bureau, almost all the soldiers at the Post and Telecommunications Bureau surrendered, and finally the Basra Security Corps, which had already turned to Iraq, began an attack on the Post and Telecommunications Bureau.
In fact, the government forces defending the Post and Telecommunications Bureau did not have the idea of fighting to the death. It was just a round of artillery bombing, and the Post and Telecommunications Bureau hung up a white flag. At dawn, the entire Basra was under the control of Iraq. As for the exchange of fire, there were dozens of religious people killed, the captured soldiers admitted that they thought they were Shiite residents, so they arrested and killed according to the previous filing.
Then, the first secretary of Iraq, Hussein Alladi, entered the city center of Basra and made a speech surrounded by tens of thousands of supporters. "Over year after year, the Iraqis have almost been trapped in the mud. While other countries in the world are making progress every day, we are conservative of the pain of civil war. In the battle, everyone is our people. They have different factions and positions, and have different supporters behind them. Egypt, Iran, and even Saudi Arabia. We once hoped that a force would stand up, end this chaos, and bring peace and democracy to Iraq. But year after year, we have only seen disappointment. More and more people have become proletarians, while a small number of people, who are warlords, they are leaders, but continue the war with the wealth belonging to all Iraqis. Now it should be over."
"In other parts of the world, we can see that more and more people are saving their own country, fighting against foreign invaders. Now we, Iraq, are going to shoulder the mission of liberating Iraq, let us restore peace to Iraq and become a prosperous country." Hussein Alladi shouted, "Peace, democracy, prosperity, that is Iraq."
"Long live the peace, democracy, wealthy Iraq, long live Iraq." Tens of thousands of Iraqi military personnel held up their weapons, listened everywhere to Hussein Alladi's voice coming from the speaker, and shouted long live.
After Hussein Alladi issued a statement, many cities in Najaf, Erbil, Babylon, and Suleimania held an uprising. In just a moment, Iraq, who had been dormant, showed great energy for the first time. After controlling Basra for a day, a fleet of transport ships arrived at the port of Basra, and 200,000 automatics were unloaded. Hussein Alladi asked Abdulahman to allocate these weapons to the peripheral organizations of Iraq.
The generals of Bagra were almost shocked by the sudden news. They always thought that their opponents were the Baath Party, Shiites, Sunnis and even Kurds. However, they did not expect that Iraqi **, whose number was getting smaller and smaller in recent years, jumped out. They did not know that in Basra, the more difficult enemies they saw were all imprisoned by Abdullahrahman. The people under Abdullahrahman returned from the Soviet Union. The master of these people was the Soviet KGB.
Basra has a population of more than 700,000. Iraqi ** must first remove potential enemies. Now they have this ability. Many information about the leadership of hostile factions has been in their hands. (To be continued.)
