The next day, we go to the field near the base where the combatants are engaged in weapons drills and combat maneuvers. Beforehand, they have struggled their way through a two-hour obstacle course. Now they are carrying out a simulated assault on an enemy base. Amid the deafening row of machine guns, mortars and missiles blasting away the imagi- nary targets, the field commander explains, "Under such an avalanche of fire, no creature alive would dare to resist."
Having seen the fighting ability of these combatants, their proficiency
with weapons, and their unshakably high morale, one can better appreciate
the NLAs brilliant victories, and particularly their minimal casualties
while inflicting heavy damage on the Khomeini regime. In a short period,
the National Liberation Army has become a deadly and immediate threat to
the mullahs' regime. It attacks Khomeini's forces in classical frontal assaults
all along the 1,200-kilometer Iran-Iraq border. Despite repeated attempts,
including several war-scale offensives, the mullahs have failed to strike
any strategic blows to the NLA. The war between the NLA and the Khomeini
regme's apparatus of war and pression has thus entered a decisive stage.
As the Khomeini regime is disintegrating, the NLAs avalanche of fire rolls forward. What chance does the regime stand?
