Babylonian Empire

Originally, he came here to attack and get Abadan back, but now, he can only switch to defense.

This is one of the main oil fields in Iran. If it is captured by Iraq, Iran's economy will be even weaker, especially the oil fields near Ahvaz. It is rumored that after Iraq occupied Abadan, the refinery Work has been restarted, and if the oil fields here are obtained again, Iraq will be even more powerful.

Absolutely must not let their conspiracy succeed!

"Let's go back to the war room," Hashmian said.

With extremely insufficient troops, it is simply impossible to defend such a vast area.Moreover, what's more serious is that in his hands, he no longer has any armored forces that can be used to counterattack. In the last battle, there were no more than ten tanks that could retreat completely. How could they resist the crazy attack of the Iraqis?

Only guarding key areas such as Ahvaz and Port Khomeini?No, absolutely not, Ahvaz is the transportation hub in southern Iran, if the other party is allowed to rampage outside, then they will definitely drive to the outskirts of Ahvaz and surround them.Ahvaz is not like Abadan, there are waterways to pass through, and being surrounded by the opponent is a dead game.

And Khomeini Port is a port city named after the leader. If it is surrounded there, he will probably be dismissed for dereliction of duty.

Not to mention, those left in the outskirts of the villages and towns, where the Iraqis slaughtered.

Is it really necessary to use those cannon fodder?

no!Report to Khomeini, then call for soldiers!Although he is still being investigated, the situation is urgent and he doesn't care so much.

Chapter 327 Preparing for the Battle

Chapter 327 Preparing for the Battle

The improved 69 tanks from the tank overhaul factory were first transported to the tenth armored division.

In the last battle to capture Abadan, the Tenth Armored Division undertook the craziest two-sided attack, so they suffered a lot of losses. After the battle, the Tenth Armored Division went into rest.

Since Zhang Feng's trump card, the 35th Armored Division, is not yet fully equipped, the supplements of the [-]th Armored Division have not been in place, and they have been resting.

This time, with the new equipment, Zhang Feng decided to supplement it to the Tenth Armored Division first. They have been holding back for several months, and they have a strong sense of fighting.

Kalma, the commander of the 69th Division, was very excited when he got the news of the replenishment of equipment. When he learned that the replenishment was a Type [-] tank, he became less happy.

What everyone wants is now Iraq's ace equipment, the t-72 tank.

However, Kalmar immediately changed his mind when Elard performed on the shooting range of the [-]th Armored Division.

If you can hit someone at a long distance, if the process of shooting becomes so simple, if you have powerful night vision equipment, what is the name of the tank, where does it come from, and what does it matter?

What Kalmar values ​​most is the night combat capability of the tank. When you see a place 1000 meters away from the infrared imaging system, it is still so clear. When you see the infrared headlights, in the infrared night vision system, it is almost like When he was a silly boy with a flashlight in the dark, Karma was already grinning from ear to ear.

What's this?This is simply the equipment that can beat the Iranians all over the place in the dark!

The Type 69 tank has been improved and has undergone essential changes. The mobility and protection have not increased, but the firepower has been completely changed.Even against the most powerful sheikh of the Iranians, he still does not fall behind.

It's just that the extra fuel tank at the back made the tank soldiers a little scared, but the tank soldiers began to accept it when they learned that the external fuel tank was burned first, and after arriving in the theater, the fuel tank was almost empty.

Everyone's life is life, and no one wants to be around a large fire bomb at any time.

Along with the 69 tanks, Zhang Feng also added many veterans from the 35th Division to the [-]th Armored Division.

Since the fire control system of the 69 tank is relatively advanced, it is difficult for the officers and soldiers of the 35th Armored Division to master this fire control system, and the 62th Armored Division has been able to use the t- [-]'s fire control system no longer relies on experience to aim visually, so these people can adapt to the fire control system from Germany with a little training.Relying on the teaching and guidance, the armored soldiers of the [-]th Armored Division will be handled so that they can operate this fire control system proficiently.

Of course, it is unknown whether Zhang Feng has other purposes. The 35th Division is Zhang Feng's starting unit. Armored Division, although the Tenth Armored Division is also very loyal, but in this way, it is more secure.But looking at Zhang Feng's simple face, he shouldn't have so much heart, right?

And another person, not so happy.

Armor Ali.

Ali dragged his fat belly, and he had gone to Zhang Feng for countless times. His purpose was very clear: to change the fire control system of the T-72 tank of his armored regiment to that of infrared imaging. After night observation and shooting in 69, I no longer want to use the infrared headlights of t-72.

At night, if you encounter 69, you will be courting death!How come the tanks from the Soviet Union are still such idiots?

For some reason, His Excellency Qusay always disagrees with his request.

Zhang Feng has his own considerations. So far, the T-72 is still the most advanced tank in Iraq. Even looking at the whole world, the Western camp is still very afraid of the rolling torrent of Soviet steel.I am full of fear of this kind of tank.

Only Zhang Feng knows that this simplified version of the T-72 is good enough to fight against the Iranians. If one day there is a collision with the West, the T-72 will not be able to fight back at all.

Now that composite armor has become popular, the armor of the T-72 is actually filled with a layer of quartz sand between two layers of steel plates!Although the caliber of the artillery is 125 mm, it is not as powerful as the Western 120 mm caliber artillery, and the backward fire control system cannot be compared with the West.

So far, You Anli has only been ordered to refit the 69 tanks. When the 69 is refitted, he can carry some t-62s with him, but the t-72s should be avoided.

Moreover, if it is modified, it will be a complete set, only an infrared imaging night vision device will be modified, can it be compatible with other Soviet fire control systems?If all the fire control systems are changed, then the ballistic characteristics of the 72mm caliber gun of the T-125 are different from the 7mm caliber gun of the L105. Should the barrel be replaced with a 105mm caliber gun?Is it necessary for the Germans led by You Anli to master the performance of this 125mm caliber artillery?The red empire in the north must go crazy!

For many reasons, Zhang Feng did not agree to Ali's request. However, Zhang Feng agreed to Ali's other condition. When the new main battle tank is put into production, he will first change his tank regiment!

Although the new type of main battle tank has not been seen until now, His Excellency Qusay acted very quickly. It is said that the f-20 fighter jet will be able to provide the low-speed production model in a few months. Main battle tank, you shouldn't let yourself wait too long, right?

Dragging his fat body, Ali finally let go of his new boss from the stalking.

Looking at Ali's back, Zhang Feng didn't expect to draw a pie for him and feed him. The new tank seems to be far away!

Back at the headquarters, Yizart and the others were still nervously making battle plans.

"At present, our assault forces mainly include the 35th Armored Division stationed in Abadan, the 10th Armored Division stationed in Hamid, and the 60th Armored Division stationed in Khuzgan. We launched an attack at the same time. These three armored divisions divisions, advance together and advance eastward. If the situation goes well, they should be able to advance 10 to 60 kilometers per day, and within ten days at most, they will be able to advance to Ahvaz and Khomeini Port. Among them, the 35th Armored Division and the 42th Armored Division The division surrounded Abadan, and the 11th Armored Division besieged Khomeini Port. The rear mainly relied on the 96nd Infantry Division to defend the key points. The 72th Special Brigade and the 35th Infantry Brigade followed the northern armored forces, occupied the captured area, and followed the siege In Ahvaz, the [-]nd Infantry Division follows the [-]th Armored Division and is preparing to besiege Khomeini Port." Chief of Staff Fat said.

This battle plan can make use of the tank group with its own mobility first, and the army's training in this area is the most sufficient. The huge tank army charges, that kind of scene is very spectacular.Over the past few months, the staff has been planning, and even the advancement of each company has been deduced.

This group of guys is still deeply influenced by the Red Empire in the north, so the tank group can charge and win?This is also called a battle plan?Zhang Feng didn't think so.

Seeing Zhang Feng's displeasure, Izzat asked, "Qusay, is there anything inappropriate?"

"What does the General Staff mean, that all our armored forces should be exposed to the undefended plains, and then advance in a neat formation?" Zhang Feng asked.

"Well, that's right," Fart said.

"So, what if there are Iranian planes in the sky?" Zhang Feng asked.

"Recently, Iranian planes have seldom come out for activities. We estimate that their fighter planes have already been unable to take off due to a shortage of parts?" said a staff officer.

"Estimate? We are formulating an action plan. We can't estimate it absolutely. If the Iranian fleet launches an air strike while the armored forces are advancing, in that case, if you are unlucky, the entire armored force may be wiped out." Zhang Feng said .

Although the Phantom F1 was added, there must be no mistakes in Abadan. Therefore, the Phantom F1 is mainly cruising over Abadan to prevent the tough Iranian Air Force from attacking.And other fighters, MiG-23 and MiG-21, can't take advantage of the Tomcats. Therefore, as long as the armored troops are marching, as long as there are two Tomcats escorting them, the Iranian f-4s and f-5s will hang up. Bombs can seriously threaten armored forces.

Thinking of later generations, until the 90s, when conducting military exercises, many Chinese soldiers still liked this Soviet-style group charge, and as a result, they were defeated in front of the blue army.The command of the soldiers must keep pace with the times and must not be conservative.

Although the Iranian fighter planes have stopped now, who knows if they are waiting for the next outbreak?

It is absolutely wrong to pin the hope of victory on speculation!Never underestimate your opponent!

It would be great if the f-20 arrives. With the sparrow air-to-air missiles and powerful radar, the f-20 can definitely compete with the Iranian Tomcat!

However, there is another way to solve the problem. Since there is no way to compete with them in the air, then, on the ground, kill the Iranian eagles!If the air force base in Ahvaz is destroyed, the Iranian Air Force will have to take off from a farther airport if it wants to support it.

And one's own armored forces should not adopt such a blatant advance plan, only a surprise attack can have a miraculous effect!

A bold idea had gradually formed in Zhang Feng's mind.
