Babylonian Empire

Yes, it is a retreat, but not a complete retreat.

Because at this time, the distance between the two sides has been close to within 1000 meters, and the Iranians' night vision devices can see them within 800 meters. If they are too close, their own side is in danger.

It is necessary to destroy the enemy as much as possible, but also to protect oneself, so innovation is necessary.

Although the tank was running back, the artillery on the turret was all pointing backwards.

If the reverse gear is fast enough, if the driver is in daylight with good visibility, maybe Elad will let his troops go straight back in reverse gear and put the thickest front armor on the Iranians, but not now.

Soon, the two sides opened up to a distance of 500 meters, and his troops stopped again. Since the opponent's infrared headlights were too eye-catching, they could aim calmly and wait for the opponent to approach within their maximum range. You can choose to fire.

In Shkurta's eyes, the opponent had already fled.

Because, according to the normal battle of tank troops, the opponent will rush up directly, and then the two sides will fall into a melee.

Where is it like now, as soon as the contact is made, a few shells are fired, and the other party disappears.

What are the Iraqis up to?

Whatever it was, he was running out of time.

Go ahead!

The killer is here again!Elad looked at the light spots that were getting closer and closer in the night vision goggles. If they were still old-fashioned tanks, then their own tank troops would not be able to compete with the Iranian troops. From a farther distance, shoot one's own tank, and then the one who is abused will be himself.

His Excellency Qusay has always attached great importance to the advantages of equipment and the lives of his own soldiers. This is what no other high-ranking official does, and it is also the reason why any soldier is loyal to His Excellency Qusay.

At the same time, the grassroots officers and soldiers below also began to use their brains more. On the battlefield, how to use the advantages of their own equipment to try their best to kill as many enemies as possible while reducing their own casualties.

If they rush up and get into a melee with Iranian tanks, even if the infrared imaging device is clear, there will definitely be a lot of accidental injuries. Moreover, they will not be able to take advantage of the long distance of night vision.

Watching the other party walk in, Elad gave the order to fire again.

At the same time, the Second Armored Brigade finally completed the encirclement of the Iranian tank unit while the first brigade was holding back the opponent.

Their armor strength is low, and their night vision devices are not comparable to those of the Iraqi [-]th Armored Division. If the [-]nd Armored Brigade had turned on its infrared headlights, they would definitely be noticed by the opponent. But now, everything is happening in the dark. The Iranians simply didn't find anything.

If the strike of the 65st Armored Brigade only made the [-]th Brigade feel helpless, then the strike of the [-]nd Armored Brigade was completely destructive.

A stab in the back is the deadliest thing.

The tanks of the Second Armored Brigade kept up with the advance of the Iranians and followed them.

At this time, the 65th brigade was completely desperate by the previous few shots, and could not find any trace of the opponent, but its own side was constantly suffering casualties. What's going on?Do Iraqis have clairvoyance?

"Boom!" Suddenly, the sound of high-pressure fixed-bore gun firing came from behind.

With the sound of howling and sharp shells, the few tanks that fell behind were easily killed.

The side armor and rear armor of the tank are very weak. After being hit, there is no suspense at all, it is penetrated, torn, and destroyed.

Why is the sound of fighting coming from behind?

Not only the rear, but also voices came from both sides.

Shkurta knew that something was wrong, and his armored forces had already been surrounded.

At this time, the battle ahead was almost coming to an end.

The tank rushed ahead, and the armored vehicle followed behind, shooting violently with machine guns at the soldiers who had just jumped out of the truck.

At this moment, for Iranian soldiers, it is the coming of death!

There were also sporadic accidents. In an unnoticed corner, two Type 63 armored vehicles were hit by Iranian rocket launchers, and they immediately caught fire.

Subsequently, the Iranian soldiers who fired the bazooka received more violent counterattacks. They were hit by dozens of bullets, and were completely smashed to pieces by another shell.

The sky was getting brighter.

The few remaining Iranian soldiers chose to surrender. They were gathered together and stared blankly at the east direction. Port Khomeini might be captured by the Iraqis.

The bodies of Iranian soldiers who died in battle are everywhere on the ground, some of which have been repeatedly run over by crawlers, and their flesh and blood are mutilated.

And the subsequent battle to annihilate the Iranian tank force is coming to an end.

In fact, if Shkurta's attitude was more resolute and bolder, and his armored troops rushed in one direction, they could still escape part of it, because this is not the predetermined valley, it is surrounded by wilderness, and they have escaped. Opportunity.

However, they were already frightened by the artillery fire that suddenly appeared from the darkness. In their eyes, Iraqi tanks seemed to be everywhere.

Because, as long as there is any tentative tank moving in any direction, it will be shot.

Demo, with the bright infrared headlights on, do you think you don’t know your actions?The tankers of the Second Armored Brigade were already ready.

For fear of falling into a melee, the Second Armored Brigade did not get too close, they just kept harassing and shooting.

Finally, dawn dawned, and the moment of final decision had arrived.

Although the fighter planes had already taken off from the rear, Kamal refused the air force assistance because the surrounded tank soldiers had already lost their fighting spirit.

It was dawn, and the exhausted tank soldiers of the 65th Brigade finally saw the tanks that were rampaging them at night. They were actually a group of t-62 tanks! (At this time, the Iranian tank soldiers did not know that Iraq was equipped with the 69 tanks imported from China. Judging from the appearance, it was somewhat similar to the T-62, but it was not the T-72.)

Did the majestic artillery fire last night come from the other party?

Shkurta is a little curious. In previous battles, this kind of tank was able to hit the opponent within a distance of 600 meters during the day. , I didn't expect that I was hit by the opponent at such a long distance last night?

Simply impossible!

He is still preparing to move west, because Port Khomeini needs his support!

Although more than half of the tanks have been killed, Shkurta still does not give up, he wants to fight back, he wants to fight to Port Khomeini!

Unfortunately, there is no chance.

Because the tank is out of gas!

Last night, the fuel had already been consumed, and the fuel in many tanks was not enough to last ten minutes.

As for the 69 tank, there is not much fuel, but it can still support for half an hour.

A tank without fuel is simply a living coffin.

Without fuel, there is no electricity, and without hydraulic pressure, it is impossible to operate the artillery to fight back.

Therefore, when the rolling traffic came, when all the siege tanks surrounded them with overwhelming momentum, the Iranians finally surrendered.

The [-]th Armored Division achieved its first feat: it wiped out or captured all the Iranian troops supporting Khomeini Port. This battle laid the second solid foundation for this battle.

The first one is the beheading operation carried out last night.
