At 12:52 a.m. on Monday, March 28, the voice of Maryam Rajavi, Deputy Commander in Chief of the NLA, resounded on the wireless networks of all NLA units across the battle front. "... In the glorious memory of the People's Mojahedin's martyrs and all the martyrs of the National Liberation Army of Iran... Fire!" Thousands of guns, flares and a various types of weapons roared in unison and the silent, dark sky was lit up like day. The awesome fire and coordination between attacking forces and gunner and artillery units were so effective that the front line of the regime's defensive fortifications across the 30-kilometer front fell within half an hour. All the brigades broke through, although the enemy forces in this region were not only on full alert, but had been previously reinforced. After the enemy's front- line was crushed, the brigades engaged the Khomeini regime's forces of war and repression on three axes.
In these battles, the NLA's combat brigades advanced rapidly, cleaning up
a vast area on both sides of the international Dezful Amarah highway and
taking control of it. The battalion headquarters of the 77th division -
including the HQ's of the 291st, 134th and 110th battalions - and the 307th
gendarmerie battalion were captured by NLA combatants. Some commanders and
much of their forces were taken prisoner.
The NLA's combat brigades also managed to capture and destroy the enemy's artillery HQs the artillery centers of the 148th and 315th battalions.
