The last battle at Abadan Port made Kusa a hero.
After the fog cleared, Zhang Feng looked at the messy main battlefield, those destroyed tanks were still smoking, and the bodies of those soldiers who died in battle were lying here and there, feeling a lot in his heart.
The Iranians bypassed the T-72 defense line in the east, thinking that it would be easier to attack from the north. They didn't know that all of them here were armored troops. Although they were defending the city now, they would be the main force of the attack in the future.
The most unexpected thing about the Iranians is that they were so bold and launched an attack from the port of Abadan in the thick fog. If it weren't for the heroic battle of the lonely hero Kusa, they might have already attacked the urban area from the direction of the port. , At that time, if I want to win and eliminate all Iranians, I am afraid that I will have to pay a higher price.
But even so, the casualties this time were very large, so large that Zhang Feng felt a little unacceptable.
After inspecting the battlefield, Zhang Feng returned to the division headquarters. While lamenting the bold and crazy attack of the Iranians, he was also dissatisfied with the casualties of the 35th Division.
"We have completely crushed the Iranian attack. They have retreated, and a small number of Iranians may have infiltrated in. I have sent people to properly protect key targets such as oil refineries and ports. At the same time, I am preparing to conduct a city-wide search. , Clear out all the Iranians who have mixed in." Mohammed said.
"How about our casualties?" Zhang Feng asked.
Muhammad said: "Your Excellency Qusay, our casualties are still being counted. Because the Iranians took advantage of the fog to attack us this time, we were a little caught off guard, resulting in certain casualties..."
"How much?" Zhang Feng asked. Although he was on the front line just now, if he wanted to know how much the losses were on all fronts, he had to ask the statistics from the rear.
"About a few hundred people..." Muhammad said, "Especially at the port of Abadan, they were almost wiped out. Except for that Kusa, they were all killed by the Iranians."
Zhang Feng's heart ached a bit. Although the casualties of hundreds of people were not many, they were not many. The 35th Division had thousands of officers and soldiers. In one battle, one-tenth of the personnel was reduced, and some companies were beaten to nothing. Commander, this battle cannot be called a victory.
Zhang Feng had already heard about the matter of Kusa, and he said silently: "Kusa will be awarded first-class merit once, and his company will be re-established. The damage will be replenished from the rear soon."
"Thank you, Your Excellency Qusay!" Muhammad was very happy that the Heroes Battalion finally came from his 35th Division.
"In view of this situation, the front line of defense must be done well, and trenches and minefields must be arranged. We are temporarily on the defensive. We must not let the Iranians touch it again by taking advantage of the fog. All troops must be more vigilant." Zhang Feng said loudly.
"Yes!" The people in the headquarters replied together.

Chapter 2 Hashmian is under investigation
Chapter 2 Hashmian is under investigation——
After the situation in Abadan stabilized again, Zhang Feng returned to the military region.
It is indeed a military precedent for the Iranian army to be able to take advantage of the foggy weather by making such unexpected moves. Zhang Feng knew that if the Iranians hadn't responded calmly, and if the Iranians' armor had been stronger, Zhang Feng knew that it would probably be The outcome of the battle is about to change.
Zhang Feng knew that there was one thing that must be implemented as soon as possible.
The C3I construction of the army, this battle, the battle of Abadan Port, and the battle of the lone hero Kusa, if he had reported the information to his superiors in advance, he would not have fought alone for so long.If the infantry is equipped with a large number of field infantry radars, then even if there is heavy fog, the Iranian army that comes to attack can be found, so that they will not be wiped on their necks before they know that someone has killed them.
Using old-fashioned radio stations to report from bottom to top is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Once a node is destroyed, the command will be chaotic. In the Gulf War, the United States was the key to attacking Iraq, allowing them to completely Lost the command of the superior and became a headless chicken.
The command system is flattened, the situation on the front battlefield must be clear, and the data link is used to coordinate the front and rear data, and the data is quickly aggregated and analyzed by using large computers and networks. This is a large systematic project. Start with France and the United States.
Zhang Feng knew that the time had come for Prince Alwaleed to play a role.
Let Prince Alwaleed, wearing the cloak of a Saudi, invest in the United States for himself, and at the same time acquire some companies that are not well-known now, but will have great development prospects in the future, especially in electronic technology.
And the intelligence system must be established quickly.He was very satisfied with Yourid's recent performance, and Zhang Feng was ready to let Yourid take on important responsibilities at the right time.
While Zhang Feng was busy, on the other hand, his opponent was in big trouble.
Hashmian was in the rear and had been paying attention to the situation on the battlefield. Judging from the report sent back at the beginning, his side did catch the opponent by surprise this time.
However, just when our own troops were about to attack the urban area, when our own side had completely gained the upper hand, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
No one knew why, and no one told him that the front line was already in chaos, and fighting in dense fog also required luck.It wasn't until the fog cleared and the remaining soldiers retreated that Hashmian knew that this operation ended in failure again, and Abadan was still firmly in the hands of the Iraqis.
Unlike the previous few times, although the previous few times also failed, his main force was still there, but this time, the main force had been sent to the battlefield by his own hands, but he never came back.
Could it be that he really can't beat the Iraqis?Is it really impossible to drive back the invading Iraqis?
Hashemian has never been like this before. Disappointment and downfall have taken over his entire being. His heart is struggling, not to shirk responsibility for failure, but to lose confidence in Iran's future.
The biggest shortcoming of the war so far is the lack of skilled fighters. They have all died in the previous battles. If the armored division that was destroyed in the swamp is still there, why bother Hashmian? Racking your brains to launch various attacks?As long as you use orthodox tactics, fight steadily and advance step by step.
Lack of soldiers, lack of weapons, is the most important thing.
Hashmi'an's eyes suddenly lit up. Weapons and soldiers are not a problem!Weapons can be solved through international channels and ideas, and soldiers can be retrained. As long as Iran is given enough time, Iran will definitely be able to gather enough troops to drive Iraq back!
Now Iran is no longer able to attack. What he needs to do is to set up a line of defense to prevent Iraq from attacking, and then to accumulate strength and counterattack!
Confidence returned to Hashemian again. He knew that the burden on his shoulders was too heavy, and he must not fall down. He supported Iran's backbone!
In a battle, there may be elements of luck, but in a war, the ultimate battle is the war potential. Regardless of the land area or population, Iran is far more than Iraq. Hashmian believes that the final victory , must belong to Iran.
But in any case, offense is impossible now, and defense is the right way. Hashmian even regretted it. If Khomeini hadn't pressed him hard and made full preparations, he might not have won the battle of Abadan. defeat.
At the same time, his biggest failure is probably that he did not correctly estimate the opponent's strength, which was very wrong.
Hashmian didn't know that his biggest failure was not that he didn't correctly estimate the strength of his opponent, but that he didn't correctly estimate his own situation.
Hashmian what?Only outstanding military talent is the proof that he was able to command the army. The reason why Khomeini supported him was that he hoped that he could win the battle and take down Abadan. Now, Hashmian has lost several times. Ni was already full of disappointment with him.
What is the use of a general who can't fight and still doesn't obey his orders?
The person who talks the most gossip is naturally Tah. He spreads around Tehran about Hashmian's disrespect to the spiritual leader Khomeini. If he talks a lot, it will naturally come true.
As a result, rumors spread everywhere, especially when Hashmirian was defeated and more than half of the tens of thousands of troops were wiped out. This kind of victory can't help but make people imagine.
This Hashmian deliberately committed suicide against his own army, with ulterior motives!
Hashemian rebelled and wanted to lead his army to defect to Iraq!
Finally, even Khomeini began to doubt it. After all, it was a disastrous defeat. Those troops, which he worked so hard to gather together, were defeated in this battle. Within half a year, Iran was no longer able to launch a counterattack.
Khomeini decided to send an investigation team to investigate the truth of those rumors.
And one of the members of the investigation team is Tah.
Tahe is very happy, finally he can go back to the old place again, and he will continue to do what he failed last time!
"Hashmian, why did you lose so much in this battle?"
"Hashmian, why did you send troops to attack in the thick fog? Is this your outstanding military talent?"
Thinking of finally being able to question Hashmian arrogantly, Tah felt a surge of excitement, and he must return all the grievances he suffered!
Thinking of being humiliated by Hashmian last time, Tah became more determined in his mind.
Xiao Mian, see if I don't kill you!
