The bridge
The martyr Mohammad Khajeh was born in Kheij village.
We were doing building jobs together for several years. During the war, both of us were dispatched to the front lines twice. At the second time, we went with Seyed Al Shohada battalion to Khoramshar Bridge. We were returned to Ahvaz at 1 a.m. We were talking together in the morning. Mohammad khajeh said: “uncle Hossein! I dreamt last night, what would happen in the night of operation.
I said: “Explain to me.”? He explained: “I dreamt, I would be martyred and your right eye would be wounded.”? I have a favour to ask you. “If you had a narrow escape, give my greetings to my family.”?
In the next night, we went to Khoramshahr, slept there. In the morning, we advanced to the enemies. We sat behind the embankments from 11 a.m. till 4:30 p.m. I was the radio man of Seyed Al Shohada battalion and khajeh was R.P.G gunner. We left towards Bovarin Island before sunset. We rested near the enemy at 10 p.m. we sat for 1 or 2 hours.
I said Goodbye to the guys. The battle was started at 2 a.m. we tried to enter to the island through a bridge. Martyr khajeh got ahead while carried the R.P.G. he fired the first missile towards the enemies.
The right side of his neck was shot and then he fell down. We tried to bring his pure body but, couldn’t.
We sent our message by the radio and asked for reinforcement troops. We consulted the guys to find a way to bring his pure body from the bridge.
Two guys were selected. At the same time, one of my friends and I were shot. We fell down. We couldn’t return the Martyr’s pure body. He remained there. Later Iraqi's had brought him and buried him in Basreh with the same BASIJI clothes. After two years, his body was transferred to Tehran and buried in his birthplace, Khalij village.
