Babylonian Empire

Besides, he didn't have time. As soon as he got off the plane, he was taken directly to the hangar by the reception staff of the Iraqi Southern Military Region.

The chief of staff of the Southern Military Region, Fat Harad, first extended his warm welcome and high respect, and expressed his sincere thanks for their arrival. He then said that due to the urgent situation of the war, the Phantom F1 is required to have the ability to carry Exocet missiles. , I hope they can do it as soon as possible and modify a Phantom F1.

Nuoda's hangar has been quite empty. Just today, five Phantom F1s of two squadrons in the Southern Military Region have been shot down, and four pilots have been lost. This is a cruel war.

They were infected. After all, they had killed a few pilots in the battle. I just spent some effort, so it shouldn't be a big deal. Besides, in addition to the travel expenses given by the company, the other party also provided a lot of subsidies.

Therefore, the engineers overcame the fatigue of the journey and devoted themselves to intense work.

The same is true for Joseph, who came to the front of a Mirage F1 and opened the equipment hatch on the fuselage.

When the Phantom F1 was designed, it placed great emphasis on maintainability. Just open a few hatches on the front skin, and various electronic equipment can be easily disassembled.

After nightfall, the pilots who went to reconnaissance finally returned with a MiG-23 hit by several anti-aircraft shells.

He ventured deep, followed the sea, flew into the Khomeini port, and found that the warships in the other party's port were nervously transferring various materials, especially when he took pictures of the missiles loaded on the warships by cranes. The Iranian navy, There may be signs of dispatch!

Hearing this news, the military headquarters immediately became tense.

PS: Thanks to old friends Faxisi and gengsu for their rewards!

Chapter 189 Target: Fao Peninsula

Chapter 189 Target: Fao Peninsula——

Although he gained the upper hand in the air battle and shot down many Iraqi fighter planes, Hashmian was not happy.

Originally thought that with the help of the Tomcats, suppressing the Iraqi Air Force would be easy, but who knows, the situation is not optimistic at all.

One of the Tomcat fighter jets dispatched before the war was shot down and three were damaged. After these three fighters managed to return to the base, they are undergoing intense repairs.If it weren't for the Tomcat's strong survivability, today's Air Force would definitely be in disgrace, not to mention the downed F-4 and F-5.

No matter how many fighter jets it shoots down, Iran will not have the upper hand in this air battle, because its own fighter jets cannot withstand such a large-scale consumption, especially the Tomcat fighter jets.

"Our battle today is simply wrong, especially the air force, which must not be consumed like this." A chief of staff said: "Our air force is used to protect key cities, so it is not cost-effective to consume it like this. , In addition, our tanks are also in short supply, and they must not be placed on the front line of the charge. Today, more than 20 Chieftain tanks were destroyed, and if they were not withdrawn quickly, they would have to be buried there. "

Hashemian turned around abruptly, looked at the staff officer with fierce eyes, wishing to strangle him with both hands.

This staff officer was sent by Khomeini. In other words, Khomeini was still worried that he could command so many troops. This person was sent to monitor him.

This person is from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. He climbed up from an idiot who supported Khomeini with crazy slogans. He didn't know how to fight at all, but he climbed to a high position. Such an idiot's preaching, his military rank is several ranks higher than the opponent's, but judging from the opponent's expression, it seems that he is the highest commander.

Hashmian suppressed his anger and said, "Tah, what do you think we should do? If we don't use the air force, we will be bombarded by the opponent's planes. If we don't use tanks, what should we use to charge?"

"We have young soldiers, great spiritual leaders, who have called our youngsters to participate in this great holy war. They can charge forward and open up a road to Abadan for us!"

Young soldiers?Hashemian wished he could pull out the American-made M1911 pistol with an ivory handle on his waist. The person who made the stepping stones shot in the head, decapitating the opponent.

"Young people are the future of our country. If all the young people are caught up in the battlefield and die, then the future of our country will be gone. This is the most despicable method!" Hashmian yelled angrily.

"Our population in Iran far exceeds that of Iraq. Even if we fight one by one, the victory belongs to us!" Tah shouted: "Long live the great spiritual leader Khomeini!"

"You can't save Iran by shouting slogans, you idiot plus idiot!" Hashmian hates this kind of ignorant idiot the most. War is definitely not a simple comparison of numbers. Do you think you were a bully on the street when you were a child?

Taher was dissatisfied and shouted: "You are slandering our great spiritual leader, I want to report to the leader!"

"I will report to the leader, you don't need to convey it!" Hashmian said: "Get me to Tehran."

"General." The few people next to him were all Hashmi'an's confidantes and were released from prison. They knew that this matter was going to make a big fuss, and it was no good at all, so let's stop.

Hashemian suddenly felt a burst of sadness. Is Iran's luck or misfortune leading the country by theocracy?Although the previous Bavillese dynasty was said to be extravagant and lustful, no one had ever dared to send a young man to the battlefield like this.However, now that Iraq has invaded, Iran has lost the source of parts for all kinds of military equipment. Apart from having more people than Iraq, what advantage does it have?

Hashmian shook his head, suppressing all kinds of thoughts in his heart. The army must obey the order of the supreme commander. No matter whether the order is appropriate or not, if the army has thoughts, it is a harbinger of national subjugation.Unless it is an extremely special situation, for example, mobilizing the army to deal with his own people, this is absolutely unacceptable to him, which is why he refused to carry out the order during the Islamic Revolution.The army is there to protect the people, not to use the people's children as cannon fodder!

In today's battle, he miscalculated. He didn't expect that the opponent had a new type of aircraft to attack the opponent's Tomcat, especially when the Tomcat lacked long-range phoenix missiles. The opponent clearly has the advantage.

The same is true for the army. He did not expect that the Iraqis would deploy their most advanced Soviet-made T-72 tanks at the forefront of the battlefield. This shows that the most elite Republican Guard in Iraq has arrived on the front line of Abadan Yet?

Although he suffered a temporary setback today, Hashmian was not discouraged, because he still had a ruthless move to use Iran's powerful navy to directly occupy the Fao Peninsula in Iraq and burn the flames of war to the opponent's land go up!

He remembered that during the training in the United States, an instructor who taught them said that in modern warfare, there is no concept of front and rear. Give full play to the advantages of your own army and use strong mobility to fight where the enemy least expects!

Just when all the Iranian military officers were thinking about how to recover the lost ground, Hashmian had already seen the front, using the navy to transport troops to the Fao Peninsula, and landing here would deal the heaviest blow to Iraq!

The Faw Peninsula is located on the south side of Basra, on the west bank of the Shatt al-Arab River. Although it does not border Iranian territory, the troops occupying it will face strong resistance from the Iraqi army. However, the Iranian Navy has a strong advantage. It can support the army on the Fao Peninsula, and occupying this place is equivalent to closing the door of Iraq to the sea. Iraq will definitely gather all eyes here. At that time, the pressure from Abadan and other places will be overwhelming. Sudden relief, regain lost ground, easy as pie.

This is the last move of Hashemian. After Khomeini used him as the commander-in-chief, he put forward this suggestion together with the request to transfer the Tomcat fighter jets to the south. The Iranian navy must not be just a display and fight on land. The progress is in full swing, and when the country is lost, how can the Iranian navy have no achievements?

The Fao Peninsula is the fat on the lips of the Iranian Navy, and it is the moment for the Iranian Navy to show its prestige!

Hashmi'an is full of confidence. The navy in Khomeini Port is ready to go. The Iraqi Air Force, which can only throw ordinary bombs, and the Iraqi Navy, which only has a few gunboats, are powerless to stop the navy's attack!

The Persian Gulf, that is the back garden of the Persians!

Hashemian didn't notice the vicious look in the staff officer's eyes when he went out.

Chapter 1 Go to the hangar in person

Chapter 1 Go to the hangar in person——

As soon as they came back, everyone was busy with their own affairs. Princess Sarah and her brother Prince Alwaleed suddenly felt that they had become superfluous people, and no one greeted or cared about themselves.

The situation was too urgent, and Zhang Feng didn't care about settling the two of them. Moreover, the Southern Military Region was already in a tense state of war at the moment, so he didn't take them into consideration.

Moreover, according to reason, Sarah should follow the special plane lent to Zhang Feng for appearance, and it is time to return to Kuwait, and then return to Saudi Arabia from Kuwait.

However, Sarah didn't want to go back. Moreover, since the air battle had already started at this time, in order to avoid accidental damage to Iranian fighter jets, the passenger plane did not take off for the time being, and stayed at Basra Airport.

And Prince Alwaleed, because of the failure of the investment, felt ashamed to go back to see the people in the family, so he chose to go with Sarah. Anyway, Basra is not bad. The two of them left the airport and entered the streets of Basra.

At this time, Zhang Feng was making the final arrangements before the battle.

Although Abadan is at the mouth of the Shatt al-Arab River, it is somewhat difficult for Iranian warships to directly enter the Shatt al-Arab River to provide rear support for Abadan.

Because, on both sides of the river, artillery can cover them with artillery fire. When entering the river, it is difficult for Iranian warships to move an inch. Even when the Iraqi army surrounded Abadan for nearly a year, the Iranian navy only took advantage of the darkness to attack the defenders. It's just for ammunition and food supplies.

Therefore, the goal of the Iranian navy is definitely not Abadan, so there is only one terrible possibility.

Zhang Feng's eyes have been staring at the large-scale military map for a long time. He knows that there is only one target, which is worth dispatching by the Iranian navy: the Fao Peninsula.

The Faw Peninsula is the throat of Iraq to the Southern Military Region, the most strategic port city in Iraq, and the largest oil port in southern Iraq.Oil from Rumaila and Zubayr in southern Iraq is exported through oil pipelines from the oil port outside Faaw Port.Although the Fao Peninsula was bombed by the Iranian Air Force in the early days of the war, it is still in production.

If the Fao Peninsula is lost, Iraq's oil exports will be greatly hindered, and the economy will also be hit hard.

Historically, the Fao Peninsula was once occupied by Iran in [-]. As a result, Iraqi oil could only be exported through Turkey in the north, and the output was greatly reduced.
