"Everyone, the battle is not over yet. We must not take it lightly, especially now that it is dark. After dark, it is not good for our defenders. Soldiers on all positions must be highly vigilant to prevent the Iranians from breaking out in the dark!" Zhang Feng Said.

"That's right. Immediately call each position. I will shoot anyone who lets go of a Persian!" Izzat also said, "At dawn tomorrow, our general offensive will officially begin!"

This is destined to be a sleepless night.

The tens of thousands of troops that Iran has worked so hard to accumulate are now in a desperate situation.Hassan in the headquarters has become anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

From time to time, there were loud noises in the headquarters.

"Our original goal was to rescue Abadan. Whoever gave the order to pursue the Iraqis is a trap!"

"Who gave the order? Didn't your army run ahead when you said you were going to pursue it? Your army should have entered Abadan!"

"It was enough for Abadan to defend the army. I went in, it was for the worst plan, and there is no need for it now."

"Stop arguing. Our current topic is how to rescue the besieged infantry regiments. Think of a way."

"Unless the troops are mobilized from the rear, but no matter where they are mobilized, I'm afraid it will be too late."

"Then deploy the air force and do a bombing too."

"Our air force is running out of planes. In today's air battle, two more Tomcats were lost. One was shot down, and the other crashed due to a mechanical failure during the return flight. We simply don't have the ability to dispatch enough planes." bombing."

"It would be great if the defenders of Abadan didn't follow in pursuit. We can send out the defenders of Abadan to rescue the trapped army. Now, they are all trapped together. There's only one battalion left."

What?Suddenly, Hassan felt a chill in his heart. When he ordered the pursuit, he didn't think too much. Now, the pursuing army is all trapped in the Karen River. The opponent's tactics this time are very clever, and they have calculated themselves everywhere , so what is the purpose of the Iraqis?Is it just to besiege and destroy these own troops?No, absolutely not, their goal is Abadan, which has not been captured for more than a year!

The most angry thing is that the opponent successfully mobilized his own defenders in Abadan, a battalion of troops, to defend such a large urban area, which can be said to be undefended.

Abadan must be supported immediately!Otherwise, after the army by the Karun River is wiped out, the opponent will definitely rush to Abadan. At this time, Abadan is empty of troops and will definitely be defeated by the opponent!

Hassan figured it all out.

"Abadan is the most dangerous now. We must immediately support Abadan." Hassan said, "The Iraqis are very cunning. Their target must be Abadan!"

"Where do we have backup?"

"It's the guard battalion next to us!"

"Great leader, please go back to Tehran first!" Hassan said, "I need to take the nearest army here, the guard battalion, to support Abadan."

Khomeini knew that at the most critical moment of the battle here, he could only let the soldiers disperse their forces in order to protect themselves, which would not do any good to the battle of Abadan.

"Okay, I will call enough young soldiers to respond to Allah's call to support Abadan." Khomeini said.

"Report, the sound of fierce fighting is heard at the port of Abadan. It is very likely that a small number of Iraqis have invaded there." A staff officer suddenly came in and said.

"Contact Abadan immediately."

"could not be reached:."

Hassan knew that something might really have happened this time.

"Hurry up, notify the guard battalion and set off overnight! The logistics team also distributed weapons to them and acted together with us. The Chieftain tanks responsible for defending the river bank were sent to me. We must hurry!" Hassan was anxious this time. .

Abadan, there must be no mistakes.

The night was dark.

On the vast land, there were rumbling sounds incessantly.

&-Type 62 tanks, Chieftain tanks, Type 63 armored vehicles, m113 armored vehicles, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, and nearly a hundred off-road trucks. This is like a motley crew, marching tirelessly under the cover of night.

Sitting in an armored command vehicle, Mohammad kept urging orders.

Although it has been expanded to the 35th Armored Division, all kinds of equipment have not been allocated. The 35th Division can only use the existing equipment for training.

However, the armored soldier at the front is particularly interesting.

The &-72m main battle tank is followed by the bmp-1 infantry fighting vehicle, mixed with a small number of 2s1 122mm self-propelled artillery and the "Shilhe" four-tube 23mm self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery. It is simply a regular elite Soviet armored regiment.Please remember the URL, if you like "Babylonian Empire" written by Huadongzhixiong

Chapter 98 Armored Ali

Chapter 98 Armor Ali——

Ali Abdullah Shehri, aged 33, commander of the Armored Forces, nicknamed "Armored Ali".He is the head of an armored regiment of the ace "Hammurabi" division of the Iraqi Republican Guard.This Ali is not the company commander in front. In this Middle Eastern country, the phenomenon of duplication of names is too common, just like Wang Ming and Zhang Gang in our country.

Ali was born in poverty. After joining the army, his living standard improved significantly. He changed from a bean sprouts body to a fat body full of fat. He was jokingly called "Armored Ali". He has rare intuition and talent in commanding armored forces, and he is one of the few Iraqi armored commanders who went to France Saint-Cyr Military Academy and German Armored Forces School to systematically study Western armored forces tactics and strategies.

Naturally, Zhang Feng would not let such a talent go. Taking advantage of the wind of victory, his father agreed to expand the 35th brigade into the 35th division. Zhang Feng opened his mouth and asked this person over.

Not only the important people, but also his equipment. Although the father promised to expand the 35th division, and the personnel are easy to complete, but the equipment is too difficult to complete. Tanks and armored vehicles have never been in stock. It is said that although the order was made from the Soviet Union, it has been consumed a lot since the start of the war. At the critical moment, the Soviet Union raised the price again. Saddam really couldn't make up too much military expenses. It's a bottomless pit.Therefore, now Saddam is borrowing money from other countries, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and other countries, anyway, the war they are fighting now is also resisting the spread of Khomeini’s fundamentalist movement, and they are fighting for them.

What I said couldn’t be ignored, so Zhang Feng represented the 35th Division. After discussing with my father, my father finally agreed to add the tank regiment where Ali of the Republican Guard belonged to the 35th Division in an organized way.However, the other equipment of the 35th Division will be ignored for the time being. The 35th Division can use the weapons they have seized for temporary use. When the finances become looser, they will be able to provide them with enough Soviet-style weapons.

After consideration, Zhang Feng agreed to his father's condition. "Search to see the fastest"

Last time in Susangilde, a large number of British-made Chieftain tanks and American-made M113 armored vehicles were seized. Zhang Feng used these equipment, together with the original T-62 tanks and Type 63 armored vehicles, to temporarily arm the 35th Armored Division stand up.

Everyone knows that the 35th Armored Division is the place where His Excellency Qusay started. Therefore, the ammunition supply of the 35th Division and the logistics department of the Southern Military Region were also handled by Zhang Feng.Everything else is easy to say, that is, the shells used by the chieftain tank, and it was finally solved after exhausting all the efforts.

Zhang Feng knew that all of this was temporary. After the war came to an end, he would equip the 35th Division into a first-class armored force!

Compared with equipment, talents are also very important, which is why he chose Armored Ali.What's more, there are all the equipment of this armored regiment.

The &-72 tank is a new generation of tanks trial-produced on the basis of the t-64 tank.Soviet-made tanks, after the t-62, the next model is the t-64, but the t-64 has applied a lot of advanced technology, such as automatic loading machine, aiming computer, etc., so the t-64 is mainly for the Soviet army It is used, and it is not very stable, so the next model has been improved, and the t-72 has been equipped with troops in large quantities.

&-62, the biggest feature of t-72 is that it uses a 125mm caliber gun. The front armor of the battle tank also uses an automatic bomb loader, and the number of personnel is reduced to three, and a new type of fire control system is adopted.Although the t-72's fire control system is still a bit crude, it has been able to maintain a relatively high "static to dynamic" or "static to static" state with the use of early ballistic computers and optical rangefinders. Shooting accuracy. The turret of the T-72 and the composite armor installed on the front of the car body can effectively resist the attack of armor-piercing projectiles fired by 105mm rifled guns commonly equipped on other tanks.

&-72 is worthy of its title. It can be said that any type of tank in the Middle East is not its opponent.

The t-72m, a simplified version of the &-72, began to be exported to various Warsaw Pact countries. With good relations, Iraq was also equipped with this advanced tank. Of course, it was equipped with Saddam's most trusted unit, the Republican Guard.

Zhang Feng was naturally very satisfied that he could get this kind of weapon from his father.Although he knows that this castrated version of the t-72 is much simpler than the model equipped by the Soviet army, and even more simplified than the t-64, it is still a very successful tank. For the m160, it is simply It is an invincible existence.

The &-72 model is later than the t-64, but in fact, the t-64 is much more advanced than the t-72, with tail stabilized tungsten alloy depleted uranium shell-piercing shells, composite armor, reactive armor, v1000 engines with more than 12 horsepower, two-way Stabilizers, automatic loaders, complete three-defense and automatic fire extinguishing devices, night vision devices and other devices, at that time, cost more than 300 million US dollars.

Sometimes quality is better than quantity.

&p-1 infantry fighting vehicle is a kind of infantry fighting vehicle equipped with a large number of Soviet tank divisions and motorized infantry divisions. The body of the vehicle is welded with steel plates, which can prevent bullets and shell fragments, and the front arc area is resistant to 12.7mm armor-piercing bullets And armor-piercing incendiary bombs, the front upper armor is aluminum armor with ribs.It adopts a 6-cylinder 300-horsepower diesel engine, torsion bar suspension, the driving wheel is in front, the idler wheel is in the rear, and there are 6 road wheels and 3 supporting pulleys on each side.

This infantry fighting vehicle has more powerful weapons. The main weapon is a 1mm 73a2 low-pressure smoothbore gun with low recoil. It adopts an automatic loading mechanism and is fed by 28 rounds of magazines around the fighting compartment.Equipped with a fixed fin stabilized armor-piercing projectile.There is a 40mm parallel machine gun on the right side of the main gun with 1 rounds of ammunition.There is a ventilation device in the turret to remove the gunpowder gas in the turret.

In addition to these, there is a SEG anti-tank missile monorail launcher above the main gun, equipped with 4 missiles, and 2 are stored in the car body and the turret.The missiles are loaded through the window in front of the top of the turret, with a range of 500 to 3000 meters, and can only be launched during the day. This type of infantry fighting vehicle can give it a go even if it faces a tank.

It can accommodate 8 fully armed soldiers, 4 on each side, riding back to back, and the personnel can enter and exit through the double doors behind the vehicle.Each motorized infantry platoon equipped with this vehicle also has a vehicle carrying two Sam-1 individual anti-aircraft missile launchers.

Compared with it, the Type 63 infantry fighting vehicle is nothing short of dirt.
