Hashmian, who was lying on the operating table, had been undergoing surgery for more than three hours, and finally pulled him back from the call of death.

Under the effect of the anesthetic, Hashmian took at least ten hours to wake up.

Suddenly, there was the roar of an airplane in the distance, and then there was an explosion.

Just after completing the supply task, the 60th Armored Division began to march towards Ahvaz. They arrived at the periphery of Ahvaz almost at the same time as the No.[-] Armored Division.

At this time, the air force brothers have already started the bombing.

There is no suspense in the bombing. The Iranian planes have been killed on the ground. Even though there are still a few planes in the hangar that escaped by chance, the runway has not been repaired and they cannot take off to meet the enemy. As for the planes that took off from other bases, there are, However, instead of heading towards Ahvaz, they flew towards Tehran.

Iraq did not know what was going on, and once again put on a strong offensive posture, not only in the south, but also in the north. The Iraqi air force also launched a high-intensity attack, bombing most of the cities in the north.

In the north, the Iranian Air Force has engaged in dozens of skirmishes with the Iraqi Air Force.

People's concepts will gradually change, and the Northern Military Region has actually used fighter jets to play the leading role.

Barracks, power stations, and street fortifications are the main bombing targets of fighter planes.

During the bombing, the recruits in Ahvaz who had no one to command had already begun to mess up.

If there are veterans around, you will know that although the opponent's bombing looks aggressive, the accuracy of the bombs is not high, and you should hide in the advanced air-raid shelter. It's not too late to go out and start fighting.

However, the veterans were all wiped out in the battle last night. Hashmian did his best for Port Khomeini. Although he sent half of them, he was his best unit. The rest can almost be said to be a mob.

During the bombing, their morale had been shattered to the extreme.

However, at this time in Ahvaz, there is still a paramilitary force that is not afraid of death, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the group of young soldiers.

Although this group of people had just picked up guns, they had a strong belief in Khomeini and the spirit of not fearing death.

Because they firmly believe that after dying for their country, they can go to the heaven where Allah lives.Since one can have a good home after death, why should anyone be afraid of death?

The two forces formed a stark contrast.

"The Iraqis are about to attack. We must rely on our tenacious fighting to drive the Iraqis out! Because we are the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and we are the most loyal force!" Tah encouraged his staff.

The most tense moment has come, and Hashmian is already unconscious. If Ahvaz can calmly defeat the Iraqi attack under his command, then after this battle, he will rise to the top and enter the center of power!

Although Tach is actually very afraid of death, he still chose to stay and command these troops who are least afraid of death. The other members of the investigation team were frightened by the tragic situation after the attack by the headquarters. I fled here and went back to Tehran.

After the air force's bombing is completed, the army has to rely on the army to complete the task of taking Ahvaz.

Kamal's Tenth Armored Division has already begun preparations for entry.

Fighting in urban areas is different from fighting outside. In field battles, it is enough to rely on the charge of armored groups to engage in long-distance combat. Almost all tanks charge in front and armored vehicles behind.

But it is different in the urban area. Due to the limited vision of the tank, if there is no infantry protection, it is easy to be injured by the infantry in the building.

Therefore, almost every tank is followed by an armored vehicle, and the infantry can follow the tank at any time to protect the tank. This is also a lesson learned by Khorramshahr.

Elad's armored brigade rushed to the forefront.

Near the urban area, two fortifications appeared on the roadside in front, which had been blown up by bombs dropped by planes and were still burning.

Blood and fire is the battlefield!

The tank held its head high, and then moved forward.

The tankers are cautious, and entering the urban street fighting is a headache for every member of the armored force. Therefore, Your Excellency Qusay tried to avoid street fighting. The number of troops is still unknown, and the combat effectiveness is also unclear. I have to try my best to prevent accidental injury to civilians. This battle is very difficult.

If the Iranians have rich experience, as long as they plant some pressure mines at intersections and other places, their actions can be greatly delayed.

In street fighting, the defending side has the right time and place, and every intersection and every street can cause the attacker to pay a heavy price.

If Hashemian hadn't been in a coma, and if experienced veterans hadn't been sent out, then, at this very moment, the Tenth Armored Division and the No.60 Armored Division would have suffered casualties.

Ahwaz is not Abadan. After nearly a year of siege, Abadan has long been a dead city with no citizens but only soldiers. Landmines can be planted anywhere, but not in Ahwaz. There are still a lot of citizens here, and the landmines are not buried casually, otherwise, it would be bad if they are accidentally triggered by unrelated people.

The experienced veterans were not there, and the recruits couldn't even shoot accurately, so they didn't know what mines to plant. Therefore, the armored division's attack went very smoothly.

It went so smoothly, it was unimaginable!

Seeing the tanks coming in, some Iranian soldiers chose to retreat, while others chose to resist.

Inside the fortifications, the heavy machine gun spit out flames and fired frantically at the approaching tank, hitting the armor of the tank with a ping-pong sound, but unfortunately it was useless.

If even a heavy machine gun can penetrate a tank, it can only mean that it is indeed tofu.

The tank soldiers loaded the grenade calmly, aimed and fired, and blasted the fortification into the sky.

Everything went as smoothly as a drill, and none of the Iranian soldiers carrying rocket launchers that they were most worried about suddenly emerged from the buildings on both sides did not appear. They only performed two actions, resisting inside the fortifications, and then were shot , or run away.

Where is this a war!The commander of the attacking force couldn't believe his eyes. The combat skills of Iranian soldiers were far worse!As if, like a group of recruits!

However, Kamal did not allow his own side to accelerate the advance. He also implemented a step-by-step strategy. Every time he controlled a street, he would leave some soldiers and tanks to guard it, and then advanced steadily.

The No.60 Armored Division on the other side of the city is different.

In this battle, the No.30 [-]th Armored Division made a big splash, and the [-]th Armored Division also made a great contribution in the battle last night. Only their own armored division has not yet accomplished an inch. Why do they eat meat and let themselves drink soup? ?

Seeing that the battle was going so smoothly, Battelle, the commander of the No.60 Armored Division, was moved. He rushed, rushed to the city center, and his own armored division was not a vegetarian!

Anyway, in the rear, the 11th Special Brigade and the 96th Infantry Brigade are coming, and they will help them maintain the occupied areas.

The tanks are in the front, and when they encounter fortifications, no matter whether there are people or not, they will fire two shots first, blasting the fortifications into the sky, and then the tanks and armored vehicles will drive past, even the infantry will not get off the armored vehicles to cover the two sides. Pulled away.

"Buzz, buzz," the tanker bangs the accelerator, and black smoke billows from the rear of the tank as it drives into a block.

The young soldier Asi's family was standing in an abandoned private house, watching the approaching tanks. His body was covered with explosives.

Young soldiers are not afraid of death, because when they enter the army, they have only one purpose, which is to resist the attack of the Iraqis with death.

Besides, they have basically not received formal military training. Stepping on landmines, blocking gun holes, and human bombing are their fate.

Asgari's task is to prevent the approach of the Iraqi army.

The tank looked like a steel monster. The tracks on the ground made deep marks one by one, and some dust was picked up at the tail of the tracks.

And the turret above is also constantly turning, left and right, scanning for all suspicious targets, as if it is about to fire a shell at any time.

Although the above order is to prevent accidental injury to civilians, it is simply impossible to actually implement it like that.

If there are Iranian soldiers hiding in civilian rooms and shooting outside, fight, or not?If you don't fight, it's suicide.

Asjiali was a little nervous, he looked behind, and the other two young soldiers also began to look for their targets.

Their calm spirit infected Asgari. If the Iraqis come, let them come and go!
