Babylonian Empire

Oops, there's an ambush!

The off-road trucks that set off from Ahvaz were the most elite troops sent by Hashemian. Among them were many middle-level commanders released by Khomeini with rich experience.

If it wasn't because the order was too urgent, they would not have chosen such a bold way, but now, they reacted immediately.

Definitely Iraqis!They calculated their own marching route and deliberately ambushed here. They are so cunning!

Their first measure was to immediately turn off the headlights. Turning on the headlights at night like this would be courting death!

Turning off the headlights, it was dark all around, except for the fires of the hit trucks.

On one truck, at least one platoon of fighters and equipment were killed in the flames.

The rest of the trucks drove off the road. Although there were pits underneath, the off-road trucks were designed to drive under such conditions.

Now it's dark everywhere, take advantage of the night, try to escape from here!

Until now, they still have illusions, hoping to complete their mission and rush to Port Khomeini as soon as possible.

Do you think that if you turn off the headlights, you will not be found?From the infrared imaging night vision device, the tank soldiers can clearly see the car in front, aim and shoot accurately.

It's just that it's too much of a waste of tank ammunition!If the bmp-1 infantry fighting vehicle is there, the low-pressure 76mm smoothbore gun is exactly for this job. It is a bit wasteful to use 105mm caliber ammunition, even if it is a grenade.

While aiming and shooting, the tank approached the battlefield.

At this time, trucks that were blown up were everywhere. To the tank, the truck was an object that had no resistance at all and could only be slaughtered by him.

Iranian military officers keenly discovered that it is absolutely impossible to escape by truck. As the trucks were hit one by one, they stayed in the truck and could only wait for death.

They had no choice but to give up their preparations to reinforce Port Khomeini, stay here first, and think about how to get out of trouble!

Those who stayed in the truck could only wait to die. Needless to say, those who were hit, in this dark night, there were quite a few people who got stuck or overturned because of their panic.

The soldiers had no choice but to get out of the car, and the commander ordered to find a bunker to resist on the spot and wait for the rear tank troops to come up.

They ran too crazy just now, and the tank troops in the rear were several miles behind them. Otherwise, with their own tanks, how could they be bullied so badly.

However, they didn't know that their own tank troops did not fare much better.

Hearing the sound of artillery in the front and the armored troops in the rear, they knew that the situation was not good. However, there was no information that there was a regular Iraqi army nearby, so they thought it was a small Iraqi army that interspersed.

Immediately the armored troops drove off the road, spread out the attacking surface, and prepared to rescue the hapless troops ahead.

In the scramble for the road just now, in the tank unit, it was not the chief who rushed to the forefront, but the old-fashioned m60 tank.

Although the chieftain has more horsepower, it is also heavier, so it is not as good as the light m60.

The battle ahead has reminded them that the tank soldiers turned off their headlights, and the gunners turned on their infrared headlights to observe the front with the infrared device on the vehicle.

The chief in the rear was a little helpless. Its infrared equipment should be the best, and its artillery fire should be the most violent. However, he was squeezed behind by a bunch of M60s and couldn't rush up.

At this time, no matter who the tank troops in the rear were, they thought that the front was only being harassed by a small group of Iraqi troops. Since the distance was more than ten miles away, they only saw the flames and did not see the scale of the battle clearly.

Elad was already the commander of the [-]st Armored Brigade, and his tank soldiers rushed to the front. Soon, there were shining spots of light in the infrared imaging night vision device.

Our side is equipped with infrared imaging night vision devices, and does not need the infrared headlights. At this moment, all the tanks in Iran still use infrared headlights. It is like turning on a flashlight in the dark night, hiding in the dark and being able to see Clear everything around.

This kind of battle is very cool.

Because at this moment, Iran's armored forces have not found the opponent's tanks at all.

When the distance reached 300 meters, Elad stopped his tank troops.

Although the new fire control system has a very high hit rate of motion-to-motion first shots, Elard still chose to stop and shoot for the insurance period.

The Second Armored Brigade chose to make a detour from the side. They needed to block the way for the Iranians to go home, and even one car could not escape, otherwise it would not be a complete victory!

Like fireflies in the dark night, or moths catching fire, the Iranian tanks have been set on the sights one by one, and the shooting parameters have been input into the ballistic computer.

"Salvo!" Elard yelled over the radio.

Suddenly, as if a demon came out of hell, in the darkness opposite, countless flames suddenly flew out, and shells appeared from the darkness, ruthlessly ravaging the Iranian armored forces.

At this moment, there is no sign of each other in their poor night vision goggles.

The accuracy of the first round was so high that the m60 tanks rushing to the front line were shot one after another, and the power was so great that all the shot tanks were shot through without any accident, and then exploded and caught fire.

Watching their own tanks being shot, the Iranian armored forces immediately launched a counterattack.

The enemy must be ahead!Their tanks started at full power one after another, and rushed into the darkness.

In the night vision device, the silhouette of the opponent's tank finally appeared.

You are hiding here!Iranian tanks, ready to fight back.

At this time, the second round of shells flew over again.

A tank equipped with an automatic loader can continuously fire at 6-8 rounds per minute, while a manual loader takes more than ten seconds to load, plus aiming and firing, especially though the fire control system is more advanced, However, it also takes longer to break in.

The gunner also received Elard's training: if you are not absolutely sure, then don't waste shells!

Therefore, although they shot a little slower in the second round, their accuracy was still very high.

Chapter 341 Night Attack ([-])

Shkurta, the brigade commander of the 65th Armored Brigade, knew that he was in big trouble this time.

His armored brigade, plus the tanks that had joined him from Ahvaz, was under his command, but right now he didn't know what to do with himself.

Shkurta became the brigade commander by firmly supporting Khomeini during the Islamic Revolution. His military ability is also not outstanding, but now, the opponent's style of play has left him helpless.

Can't find the opponent, but our own side is suffering continuous losses. This shows that the Iraqis have stronger night vision capabilities and can see themselves from a distance, but they cannot see each other.

There is no way to fight this kind of battle. In his heart, he has already started to retreat.

Maybe back off and wait until daylight?

But will the infantry in the truck ahead hold out until dawn?He already knew that the Iraqis who ambushed them now are absolutely indispensable.

Moreover, Khomeini Port needs them to go to the rescue. If it is blocked here, Khomeini Port will be in danger.

Yes, the idea of ​​the Iraqis is definitely to stop their reinforcements and delay their actions!Shkurta made up his mind: must hold on, charge!Break through the opposing line, rescue the infantry in front, and then, before dawn, rush to Port Khomeini!

Shkurta's ideals are lofty, but his actions are weak.

Elard's Armored Brigade had already completed the U-turn, and then retreated back.
