Nuri did not stay in the solid basement, but went outside. His guard was fighting against the outside army at this time.

"Nuri is our scum in Iraq, an ambitious man!" Outside, the people of the first division were shouting: "he plotted against our king Ghazi and sold our Iraqi interests to the British! Whether you choose to be buried with Nuri or stand up depends on your own! "

Nuri secretly murdered King Ghazi. This rumor spread all over the country. Moreover, looking at the outside army, the guards had little confidence, and some of them began to waver.

I'm sure I can't fight. It's better to surrender. It's good to stay out of it.

Only some of Nuri's diehards are still holding on. They stare at their side. If anyone dares to escape, shoot immediately!

"Don't listen to outsiders!" Just then, Nuri came out. He said to his guard, "King Ghazi died in a car accident. I am also very sad about his death. Moreover, I tried my best to assist King Ghazi's son. How could I secretly harm the king!"

At this time, Nuri stood behind the guard. Anyway, across the fence, he didn't have to worry about being sniped by his opponent.

"Now, there are rebels outside. If you leave now, I can plead with the king and forgive your rebellion." Nuri said, "Whoever dares to shoot the prime minister's house is the sinner in Iraq, and his family will be punished as they deserve!"

Nuri has begun to threaten people outside. Although he won't scare the other party and let the other party leave, he can at least delay time and wait for reinforcements!

Unfortunately, he underestimated his opponent.

"Come on, get out of the way, get out of the way, howitzer, ready!"

When he heard the noise outside, Nuri changed his face, spread his legs and ran to the basement.

"Boom, boom!" There was a huge explosion outside. In this terrible sound, the wall was blown open, and even the building of the prime minister's house was blown to pieces!

The other party was just surrounded and did not attack immediately. They were just waiting for the field artillery to be dragged over. They didn't hesitate to use field artillery to fight a prime minister's house!

The wall collapsed, and the wounded guards screamed. Outside, the infantry of the first division could not wait to attack inward!

Camille brought, of course, the most determined personnel. They would not be bewitched by Nuri's words. They had long believed that Nuri was the murderer of King Ghazi!

Inside Baghdad, gunfire rumbled and made a mess.

Outside Baghdad, 97 kilometers away, the small town of habaniya.

This is the base of the Royal Air Force. In history, it is only a flight training school, and the aircraft in the base are old goods, including 9 Glasgow "Gladiator" biplane fighters, 1 Bristol "Burlingham" MK. I bomber, 26 speed "Oxford" trainer 8 Ferrari "Gordon" trainers and 30 Hawk "ODEX" trainers.

However, it is different now. With the continuous retreat of Britain in the Middle East, this is the main base of the British air force. There are more than 5000 soldiers and more than 100 modern fighters in the base. Most of them are exported from the United States, most of them are P-40

This fighter improved on the basis of P-36 has good performance, especially fast delivery speed, so it has won the contract of the U.S. Army aviation team and exported a large number of aircraft.

The British air force calls this kind of aircraft "Mohawk". They are satisfied with the performance of this kind of aircraft. In air combat, at least they will not be completely defeated. They can fight with the German BF109 and deal with fw190, which is a little worse, but experienced pilots can also win.

Now, the whole air force base has sounded the emergency horn.

Rashid's coup has summoned up courage, and there is almost no possibility of failure. It is just icing on the cake. However, facts have proved that Iraqis do not have the ability to fight and are not fully prepared for a coup.

For example, now, the attack on British bases has been temporarily increased, but their coup was not launched at the same time. When the noisy infantry divisions surrounded the prime minister's house, the British air force base here has received the news of asking for help.

Although it was in the dark, they also began to prepare. The lights of the whole base were shining. On the apron, P-40 fighters were preparing to start.

Wait a few more hours and it will be dawn. Before dawn, they can take off to expel the rebels outside the prime minister's office!

Some of the pilots who have the ability to fly at night can't wait to take off immediately.

Pilot d-f-hataki, carrying his flight helmet, came to the side of the plane and watched the ground crew make nervous preparations before takeoff.

As a fighter, the main weapon of this aircraft is two browning M2 heavy machine guns on the nose, with a caliber of 12.7 mm, plus two browning M1919 machine guns on the left and right wings, with a caliber of 7.62 mm.

Although the most commonly used caliber in Britain is 7.7mm, it is too late to replace these aircraft. Anyway, the backup of Britain is the United States. It is enough to directly deliver 7.62mm bullets to them.

At the same time, when necessary, the aircraft can carry a 1000 pound bomb under the fuselage and two triplet rockets on the wing.

Now, their mission is to support Baghdad and disperse the rebels. In this case, their aircraft must be equipped with ground weapons.

Originally, the plane was full of oil and the machine gun was full of bullets, so now it's a bomb! The ground crew loaded more than 400 kilograms of bombs on the belly of the aircraft on a trolley, and then added rockets.

When the ground crew installed it, hataki could not wait to climb onto the plane and prepare for takeoff.

When his cockpit lid was closed, hataki had started the engine. The fighter held his head high and slid to the runway. Then, increase the throttle. The liquid cooled engine burst out 1150 horsepower. The P-40 slid on the runway and ran faster and faster. He gently took the operating lever and the P-40 pulled up easily.

Through the moonlight, there can be a few hundred meters of blurred visibility, which is enough. When the two sides exchanged fire in Baghdad, it must be brighter. Hataki pushed the operating lever and wanted to fly in the direction of Baghdad. At this time, he suddenly heard the anxious voice in the headset.

"Kingfisher, kingfisher, come on, northeast of the base, find the rebels coming to us!"

Almost at the same time, hataki saw a fire on the ground in the distance. It was gunfire!

"Boom!" The mechanized brigade arrived first, and the leading Renault ft17 tank launched the first round of shelling towards the airport.
