A bomb just hit the command post where the operator was. Immediately, several operators were blown to pieces.

When the formation completed the task and returned from high altitude smoothly, the entire bombing took less than 5 minutes.

Rigorous preparations in advance and a lot of training contributed to this perfect bombing. Due to the lack of air force, Iran had to endure the bad luck of being bombed above its head.

In Ahvaz, the headquarters has been in a panic.

Hashmian was still in the process of being investigated by the investigation team, and suddenly received the news that the air force base was attacked by Iraq, and immediately returned to the headquarters.

Originally, some people didn’t want Hashemian to return, and they were interrogating the other party happily, but the other party walked away on his own. Of course, he was upset. However, when it comes to commanding the battle, this lieutenant general is still inseparable.

Hashemian frowned, what did the Iraqis want to do?Is this a sign that the opponent wants to attack on a large scale?

At this moment, an astonishing news reached the headquarters: the Iraqi armored division, which had been standing still in the city of Abadan, was advancing eastward!

To the east of Abadan, a valuable strategic location, is Port Khomeini!

Armored Ali in high spirits.

The first thing to start is his magic weapon: the most elite Soviet-made t-72 tank in the Iraqi army, the power of the 125 mm caliber artillery is still unmatched, and the one behind is the BMP-1 infantry combat tank. Relying on anti-tank missiles and 73mm low-pressure smoothbore guns, this infantry fighting vehicle not only protects infantry from charging, but also serves as a powerful offensive force.

The backward Soviet-made 2s1 122mm self-propelled artillery, although at the back, assumes the role of long-range artillery coverage, opening the way for the armored troops in front.

The four-tube 23mm self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery of the "Shile River" walking on both sides is faithfully protecting the airspace where the armored troops advance and preventing them from being attacked by the opponent.

Since the Air Force has already bombed the air base in Ahvaz, the main threat to their advance is not the fighter planes deployed in Ahvaz, but the threat of an American-made Cobra gunship brigade next to Khomeini Port.

Armed helicopters are the natural nemesis of tanks. Moreover, since the Southern Military Region is dispatched to bomb Ahvaz, it will be very dangerous if the Cobra in Port Khomeini is dispatched.

While it's anyone's guess how many Cobras will be able to take off due to parts shortages, even one is a serious threat.

Therefore, let Ali take the lead, naturally because his independent armored regiment is fully equipped and can provide air-to-air firepower, and, in order to better cover their actions, ten Mi-24 gunships have already opened the way in front of them. They clear air threats.

The buster of the tank is the gunship, the buster of the gunship, or the gunship!

Just now, they resolved several lines of defense arranged by Iran with very quick actions.

Since the armed helicopters in front have provided them with the situation ahead, the 122mm self-propelled artillery fired first to clear the obstacles ahead, and then the tank charged to solve the concrete fortifications set up by the Iranians, and the BMP-1 followed up to finish the finishing work That's it.

As if it were an assembly line, each of them performed their duties and advanced steadily.

The other armored units of the 35th Armored Division following Ali's tank regiment were left with the task of continuing to follow up on the track of the front track.

A torrent of armor is already heading towards the weak point of the Iranians, the strategic location of the Iranians, Khomeini Port.

However, this is just suspicion.

In the north, the [-]th Armored Division was ready, but they had to march at night and had to travel hundreds of kilometers to enter the scheduled ambush positions. Their tasks were even more challenging.

Hashmian frowned, and the series of actions represented that the Iraqis had started a new round of offensive, and the most terrible thing was that in each round of offensive, the Iranian Air Force would take the lead in launching a counterattack, but this time... The base was destroyed by the opponent ahead of time. Only a few fighter planes in the hangar managed to escape the bad luck. The rest have become a pile of scrap iron. How to fight back?

Although there are already signs that the Iraqi army is going to counterattack, the Iranian Air Force is working hard to prepare and repair the faulty aircraft as much as possible. The parts shipped by the Hercules were obtained after several applications by Hashemian. Unexpectedly , a bold air strike by the Iraqi Air Force completely disrupted his arrangements.

What's more terrible is that the Iraqi troops are marching towards Port Khomeini!

However, is this really their strategic purpose?Hashemian knew that his opponent was not easy.

Chapter 333 Taking Over the Maldives Island

Chapter 333 Taking Over the Maldives Island

When the British governor in the Malvinas Islands ordered the navy icebreaker "Patience" to carry two helicopters and 140 soldiers to the South Island to implement deterrence, he didn't know, because this decision angered the very self-respecting Gal. President Tieli, Argentina's plan, is ready to be implemented in advance.

On March 3, General Galtieri finally made up his mind. Now that the incident had happened, he immediately made a choice that the Argentine people were satisfied with and captured the Falkland Islands by force!

At this time, apart from Argentina, no country would believe that Argentina would seize the Malvinas Islands by force.

The people of the British Empire already had a graceful and noble aristocratic temperament. Although news continued that Argentina might use force against the Falklands, even the US CIA provided Britain with many satellite photos, proving that Argentina The Chinese navy is making preparations before the battle, but it was all laughed off by the United Kingdom.

Is Galtieri out of his mind?Attacking the Malvinas Islands?is it possible?

Argentina may be regarded as a military power in South America, but looking at the world, it is only a third-rate country. Want to start a war on the territory of the British Empire?Do not make jokes.

In this way, the warning signal about the possible outbreak of war was kicked several times by the bureaucracy, and then disappeared without a trace. At this time, the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher did not receive any news from below. .

However, even if they made preparations immediately, it would be too late. The Falklands are so far away from the UK, and there are only a few hundred British guards on the Falklands. If they were to be raided, the outcome would be obvious.

The sea breeze was blowing, and the waves were beating gently on the port. Jose Luis Apalacio, who had only been in the army for one year, was huddled inside a tank landing ship, holding the steel gun in his hand. Tonight, they were going to board Go to Mashima!

Although Jose has only one year of military experience, his strong body, skillful combat skills, and precise shooting made him enter the Marine Corps that Argentine soldiers yearn for. Soldiers must dedicate everything to the motherland!

Beside him, Santos, who was also in camouflage, also clenched the weapons in his hands, and they were a little nervous.

Soldiers exist for war, but when war really comes, it seems impossible to say that you are not afraid.

However, the risk of their attack this time is not great. The 40th amphibious formation composed of nearly ten ships and thousands of soldiers can't beat the Falkland Islands with only a few hundred people stationed?

The hour hand gradually points past 24:4, and a new day, April 1st, has arrived.

On an icebreaker at the rear, several helicopters on board were ready to take off in the middle of the night. They were the reconnaissance team of the Marine Corps. They were the first to set foot on the land of the Falkland Islands. The landing site was chosen at Pembroke Point.

The sky is bright and full of stars. The rotor of the helicopter rotates. Under the command of the light stick, it slowly leaves the deck of the icebreaker and flies towards the hazy land ahead. The turbulent air current hits the ripples of the sea surface.

At the same time, a conventional submarine of the Argentine Navy has slowly approached the coastline of the Malvinas Islands. The frogmen team skillfully emerged from the torpedo tube, and then swam towards York Beach.

The two armies successfully landed on the land of the Falklands. At this time, the British army on the island was still asleep, and they had firmly controlled several commanding heights.

Immediately, they sent a signal back to the formation.

Knowing that the two teams had successfully landed on the island, Brigadier General Menendez, the commander-in-chief of the 40th Amphibious Task Force, was very happy and immediately ordered the formation to step up to Longke Bay.

The sky was getting brighter, and it was already past six o'clock in the morning.

Several British soldiers guarding Longke Bay rubbed their blurred eyes, preparing to go to the port for routine inspection.

Suddenly, a sharp-eyed soldier noticed that a fleet was approaching on the distant sea, and the flag hanging on the flagpole was very dazzling.

Argentine Navy!

Just as he was about to return and sound the alarm, he heard the sharp sound of shells passing through the air, and the artillery on the opponent's ship had already started firing.

Accompanied by artillery fire, the 2 battalions of marines made final preparations, and then they began to attack.

The tank landing ship drove to the deepest part of Longke Bay, and the tank waded directly onto the beach of Longke Bay.Behind, are other team members who are coming by paddling boats.

The British soldiers didn't even think about it. Looking at the menacing Argentine soldiers outside, their only choice was to run!

I want to play?Do not make jokes!Just a few of them, can they beat so many people?Besides, they don't even have live ammunition in their rifles!
