According Fars News Agency's Resistance and Epic Team, battalion Balal, Army 7 of Vali Asr of Khuzistan did many sacrifices and great activities during the Sacred Defense Era and a great sample of these activities can be mentioned as what they did during the military operation ‘Badr’:

• Being dispatched to the war zones

We were dispatched to the war zones, a few days before the military operation Badr. We had a short rest in Ahvaz city during the night. Apparently we were supposed to stay in Ahvaz city during the night; but we heard the bombardment news of Dezful city. The war veterans got so unhappy about this issue; because they had no news about their families.

We moved towards the war zones at the same night and we passed from Talaeyeh forked road and we entered the war zone and we were so close to Hoor area. It was a huge desert. We made a camping there by the tents that we had.

• knapsack of R.P.G rockets
Ali Reza who was a Rocket soldier helper in the past, later he became an elite sniper. When we were there, they made a decision about the elite snipers and they said those who are elite snipers must deliver munitions with themselves that is why a knapsack of R.P.G bullets was given to Ali Reza who did not have a belt. Ali Reza referred to the main headquarters for three times to change it, but it was the last knapsack that was available.

• The conflicts of Ali Reza and Saeed against enemy

When they had passed half of the way, suddenly Saeed noticed that the Iraqis are moving behind them and that still the line has not been broken. That is why he asked from Ali Reza, where are we going? Ali Reza responded slowly: Keep quite, but he repeated the question once again and it caused that a tall Iraqi that was so close to them to notice that the Iranians were there and suddenly he went to his rifle pit and he started opening fire towards them with a Grinov gun. Since Ali Reza doubted whether he was an Iranian or Iraq, he lied down on the ground along with Saeed and they sheltered behind the slope close to the road. The Iraqi had sheltered inside his rifle pit as well and he continued opening fire towards them. Ali Reza used his Kalashnikov and he responded the firing of enemy and he asked Saeed to use the opportunity and to throw a grenade into the Iraqi rifle pit. In response to his request, Saeed said that he can not remove the grenade toggle. Ali Reza had taken the toggle of one of his grenades half and gave to him and Saeed throw it, but the grenade did not hit the target and the exchange of opening fire was continued.

• A bullet hit the hat of Ali Reza and he was fired

Suddenly Ali Reza felt that someone hit a firm stick into his head. He was dizzy for a few minutes and he did not shoot for one or two minutes, but again he continued shooting. After a few minutes, the Iraqi would not open fire anymore, but Ali Reza felt a sound over his head, when he paid attention, he noticed that a big fire was seen over his head. He stood up so quickly and aimlessly and he started to take off his knapsack which contained three R.P.G bullets. (It should be noted that during the final minutes of movement, since the land wad made of water and soil, there was a long distance until the logistic sources and all the fighters had to take additional munitions. A knapsack that had no belt and contained three R.P.G bullets and its munitions would be tied over the hat. Of course a protective mask would be tied under the knapsack in order to be used against chemical gases. Also there was a life jacket and all the threads were mixed up and the work of separating the knapsack had become something impossible.)
