    This is Voice of Liberty Radio and I am General MacArthur, Filipino People, and I am back!  ————Mike Arthur.  ***************************************************  ********************* In the early morning of January 25, approximately 4,000 artillery pieces deployed by the Iraqi army on the east bank of the Jordan River opened fire at the same time to focus on the support points and command posts on the Israeli defense line.  At the same time, more than 400 combat aircraft of various types violently bombed the Israeli artillery positions, surface-to-air missile positions, command posts, radar stations, and logistics facilities.  SS-21 Dongfeng-11 and Samud-1 Samud-2 surface-to-surface tactical missiles also fired at Israeli bases and airports in depth and carried out violent strikes.  This artillery preparation lasted for 55 minutes and caused huge damage to the Israeli army's positions.  In preparation for the artillery fire, the Iraqi troops jumped out of their trenches and positions and began to cross the Jordan River.  They pushed aside the camouflaged first wave of troops and headed toward the west bank of the river in rubber boats and assault boats.  The PT-76 Water 6 tanks under the Ninth Army also advanced together to provide fire support for the infantry.  Behind the commandos of about 10,000 troops are engineers driving mechanical pontoon bridges. They will build pontoon bridges in the river, including light portal bridges for infantry and heavy portal bridges for tanks, to allow a large number of armored troops to rush across the Jordan River and invest.  fighting.  However, the fastest ones to reach the west bank of the river at this time were not the commandos but the special forces members in helicopters. They flew directly over the Israeli defense line and landed in the deep zone.  The Israeli army has already built strong fortifications on the west bank of the river and built a high sand embankment between the river and the land, which prevents infantry and tanks from directly landing on the land.  They could only jump into the cold river water up to their knees and brave the hail of bullets from the Israeli army to blast open the way.  But none of this could stop the heroic Iraqi army. At this time, artillery fire had begun to extend. The first batch of landing troops jumped out of the rubber boat and waded ashore under fierce fire from Israeli machine guns.  Under the fierce enemy fire, most of the soldiers were forced to throw away all supplies except weapons, bullets and grenades.  Now reaching 6 quickly is the biggest victory.  "Quickly-throw away the backpack and only need weapons-" Captain Hussein of the 47th Infantry Division shouted at his men and grabbed the heavy backpack dropped by the engineer beside him: "You*  "You can't throw explosives. How can we get up there?" The soldiers rushed forward desperately and swept through several lines of fire. His company suffered heavy losses under the dense bullets. Captain Hussein and his men rushed up with difficulty.  The shore was hidden under a tall sand embankment.  At this time, the biggest threat to them was not the machine gun but the enemy's heavy artillery.  The Israelis mounted heavy mortars in armored vehicles and quickly maneuvered here to attack the landing force 6.  Several companies hiding under the sand embankment suffered heavy losses under the shelling because they had discarded explosives and could not blast.  "Blast this damn sand wall open for me -" Captain Hussein yelled - a heavy artillery shell exploded not far away, and a stone flew up and scratched his face.  A trace of blood.  But the captain did not move and continued to urge the engineers to work.  While they were fighting hard, the airborne commandos that had penetrated from behind the Israeli defense line had already landed and reached the vicinity of an artillery position.  Several Israeli heavy mortars were fired. Captain Jassim made a few gestures and then whispered: "The machine gunners set up a firepower point here to provide fire cover. The others followed me to attack and take out the Jewish cannons."  !” The Iraqis’ cross-river attack was so swift and powerful that Israel was unable to respond in time.  The terrain around the position where the mortars were located was very irregular and there were many shrubs and trees. This provided Captain Jassim with the opportunity to attack the enemy from different directions.  He quickly deployed a light machine gun on the edge of the bushes leading to the target and instructed them to provide covering fire.  At the same time, order a sniper to stand on a high place and snipe the enemy's fire points.  Then he led his troops to crawl towards the artillery position.  Although they carried anti-tank missiles, Captain Jassim obviously thought it was not the opportunity to use this killer move. He wanted to use grenades to kill this position.  Just as they were moving forward, Jasim suddenly saw an Israeli steel helmet - the man was running towards this direction with his waist down. Jasim unceremoniously picked up the D-9o automatic rifle and aimed at the Israeli and fired a burst.  Send him to the west.  The Israelis seemed to hear the gunshots, and the soldiers beside several mortars turned to fight with their guns.  “Charge over————” Jassim roared and rushed towards the mound in front of the position. At the same time, the light machine guns on the side also opened fire fiercely in time to provide fire support.  He led six soldiers and rushed to the position bravely. The Israelites were in chaos.  They were now being attacked by fire from two directions: machine gun fire from the left and a frontal attack from Jassim's group.  After a fierce exchange of fire, Jassim led his men to a place very close to the artillery position. He waved his arms fiercely and asked for sniper support.    The sniper began to look for a thicker tree on which he could hide and shoot as early as Jassim's order.  He selected a branched tree and carefully sat on its front branch, distributing his weight in several directions.  It took a while for him to hold off on firing.  Now he saw Jassim’s movements in the scope and immediately fired a shot at an Israeli in the position.  The man's head exploded with a bang. The harsh sound of the Israeli machine gun suddenly disappeared, leaving only the crisp and continuous blast of the commando's light machine gun.  Bang——Bang————The sniper knocked down two more Israeli soldiers in a row. The Israelis panicked and looked for shelter.  At this time, Jashim had led people to approach the artillery position. He shouted: "Grenade——Throw————" A row of grenades was immediately thrown into the trench.  Boom——The roaring cannon immediately misfired and several Israeli artillerymen were blown into the sky.  At the same time, there was a bang. A huge gap was opened in the sand embankment. Captain Hussein rushed forward with his soldiers. The dense bullets flew in and immediately killed two soldiers beside him.  But without the support of artillery fire, this firepower could not stop the torrent of Iraqis.  They rushed into the Israeli forward positions with unstoppable momentum and quickly eliminated the enemies with rifles, grenades and bayonets.  At 4:15 in the morning, the Iraqis occupied the first bridgehead on the West Bank!  ***************************************************  ******************************* Haha Thank you again for your concern!  Thank you editor for the great recommendation!  I'm so impressed with this book  Your message, even just one (*^__^*), will become the motivation for the author's creation.
