Babylonian Empire

At this time, the Iranian armored soldiers had already discovered that the situation was not good, and they no longer had the capital to fight in front of this armored force!The best way is to retreat immediately!

Although there was no order from the front line, the vanguard of the Iranian armored forces and the remaining armored vehicles chose to retreat. Because of time constraints, they had no time to turn around, and most of them were in reverse gear and directly retreated.

As a result, they collided with the main force behind and disrupted their attack formation.

The T-72 tanks of the Fourth Armored Division are also moving to the two wings. They have formed a semicircular encirclement against the Iranian armored forces.

The sky gradually darkened.

Iranian armored soldiers faithfully carried out Muhammad's orders. They drove their own tanks and were also fighting Iraqi tanks.

At a distance of 1000 meters, several tanks finally approached and fired several shells, but most of them missed. Only one hit the main armor of the T-72, but it did not penetrate. , However, although the members of the tank were shocked to the point of discord, they were still fighting hard, blasting the tank that attacked them into scrap iron.

It was already dark, and both sides turned on their night vision devices.

The night combat devices of the T-72 and 69 tanks both use infrared headlights. However, limited by the technical level, the combat distance under the infrared headlights of the 69 tanks is as short as 400 meters.

Ahmadi personally commanded the battle in a T-72 command tank. During the daytime battle, the 42nd Division paid a great price. Now, it is time for the Iranians to pay back their blood!

Annihilate this army of Iranians!

Although the Iranian attack group has gathered most of Iran's armored forces, in terms of scale, it is not comparable to the Fourth Armored Division, and in terms of combat effectiveness, they cannot compete with the elite Fourth Armored Division compared to troops.

Facing the powerful offensive of the Iraqi armored forces, Muhammad finally ordered a retreat. This attack failed again when it was closest to victory.

The war situation was continuously collected in Basra and reported to Baghdad.

Qusay knew that Khomeini's conspiracy had been shattered this time, and the armored force he had accumulated through untold hardships was once again completely wiped out by him. However, the casualties of his side this time were still very large, especially The 42nd Infantry Division that was almost disabled.

The main reason for this defeat is Port Khomeini and the mountains east of Ahvaz!

Occupying this plain, gaining oil production and processing bases, gaining a lot of economic income, war, and ultimately serving the economy, he is already satisfied, but now it seems that it is absolutely impossible!

Due to the blocking of mountains, Khomeini Port to Abadan, which seems to have a large strategic buffer, is easy to be quickly advanced by armored forces because they are all plains, and the air force of the Southern Military Region, which has always been trusted by itself, is in Iran put all its eggs in one basket and threw itself into the confrontation of the air force, but did not show much advantage.

Iraq's struggle for hegemony is still very difficult. If you don't pay attention, you will fail!Qu Sai finally knew that on the road to hegemony, one cannot stand still, one must move forward, and then move forward!

In his mind, he is already conceiving the next strategy. After the Iranian attack is completely smashed, his side will pursue the victory. In the south, the troops remaining in Ahvaz and Khomeini Port will continue to march eastward and occupy the On the edge of the mountainous area, several large radars were placed on the top of the mountain to monitor the surrounding airspace and connect with the C3I system of the Southern Military Region to gain more warning time for the eastern plain.

In the north, Bakhtaran's forces marched north, occupying Kurdistan province.

At the same time, in order to combat the war potential of the Iranians, carry out a large-scale bombing of Iran!Blow up their J-4, F-[-], etc., all onto the runway!

Iran is like a centipede, dead but not dead.

Then cut off your legs one by one, so that Iran's war potential will completely disappear!

In the past, Qusay still had long-term considerations. He was worried that the military action against Iran would progress too fast and would not be able to keep up with the changes in the world pattern, which would attract the United States' hostility towards Iraq in advance.

Iraq is too powerful and will pose a threat to the United States. Therefore, these transactions with the United States cannot continue. The Jewish forces in the United States will definitely make a big fuss about Iraq.

Qusay has forgotten that the United States has always played up the China threat theory, but China is still getting stronger. How can they say that they cannot interfere, but they must make Iraq stronger!Can't wait any longer!

But now it seems that his idea is a bit too naive. Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. We should not be too kind to Iran. We must completely remove Khomeini and completely solve Iran's problems!

Because what Iraq is facing is definitely not Iran, but the whole world!

The rich oil resources under the land are coveted by rogue countries. Iraq has no other way but to be strong, no matter how strong it is!

Qusay has already made up his mind, and the specific combat operations have also begun to be formulated under his instruction, and the entire Ministry of National Defense is in full swing.

Khomeini didn't know that if he stayed honest and stopped thinking about regaining lost ground, the country of Iran could still be maintained for a few more years.

However, his desperate madness this time completely aroused Qusay's fighting spirit, and a plan to completely conquer Iran finally began to lay out.

It is unrealistic to completely occupy Iran. However, occupying the strategic highlands in the southwest and north of Iran and obtaining Iran's oil production areas and important agricultural production areas will allow Iraq to obtain the greatest economic benefits. Moreover, with agricultural production areas , Iraq can no longer import food, and at the same time, support the separatist forces within Iran, and then establish a puppet regime, so that Iran, a country, can completely become a vassal of Iraq!

Everyone who specifically executed the battle plan was extremely excited. They knew what a huge and important battle plan it was!

The history of the Middle East, from the daytime of the bloody battle of the 42nd Division, to the evening when the [-]th Division began to attack, began to undergo earth-shaking changes.

The bloody battle in the east of Abadan is still going on.It's just that it is the Iranian armored soldiers who are bleeding now.

This day can be said to be the end of the Iranian armored forces.

If two years ago, the Iranian armored forces were driving the most powerful Emirates tank in the Middle East, and had the most advanced fire control system, they could completely dominate the land, but Khomeini's purge lost a large number of skilled tankers.

Now, Iran's armored forces have dropped a notch in terms of equipment and training. Using 69 tanks to deal with infantry is a big killer, but fighting against T-72 tanks is purely courting death. behavior.

They barely got a chance to fire and were killed by T-72 tanks.

On the plains outside Abadan, it became the cemetery of 69 tanks.

Chapter 421 The Motorcycle Division Is Followed by Annihilation

When the Iranian armored forces collapsed, the motorized infantry division that followed was also in crisis.

Rafsanjani's intention was originally to let the armored troops attack, and the motorized infantry division followed to expand the results of the battle. Therefore, when the armored troops charged forward, the motorized infantry division also followed behind, but the eyes of both sides were fixed on Armored units, that motorized infantry division is no longer taken seriously.

Now, after the Iranian armored forces were killed, the motorized infantry division following the armored forces immediately realized that they were in danger.

The so-called motorized infantry division is the infantry in the car. Before the battle, it is faster to move in the car. However, in the real battle, it is okay in the city. In the wilderness, it is absolutely incomparable with the armored troops.

Therefore, when they learned that there was a strong blockade ahead and even the tank troops began to retreat, the motorized infantry division in the rear also chose to retreat!

Wheeled vehicles are much faster than tracked vehicles on the march, but although they are fast, the Iraqi army moves faster!

The No.30 Fifth Armored Division, the garrison of Khomeini Port, dispatched a tank brigade to block the retreat of the Iranian armored forces.

They did not block the armored troops, they blocked the motorized infantry division.

In the dark, the advantages of the tank brigade were brought into full play again, for no other reason. This tank brigade was equipped with modified 69 tanks.

After refitting for the Tenth Armored Division, the extra tanks were added to the No.30 Fifth Armored Division, and the main modification of this tank is the fire control system and artillery.

The active infrared night vision devices of German companies are much higher than infrared headlights, let alone trucks without any night vision devices.

The rifled gun of the 69 tank, a few shells passed by, accurately hit several cars in front of the convoy, and the entire convoy behind fell into chaos.

The wrecked cars in front blocked the road, and the cars behind had to drive off the road and walk on the ground.

Even off-road vehicles have limited capacity. Now that they were forced to drive off the road, their marching speed immediately slowed down.

On the plain, being attacked by the opponent's tank unit is not a good thing. The newly formed motorized infantry division immediately began to be in chaos.

If they observe on their own, they can find that as long as they are more determined and break through the opponent's blockade, they can still escape. However, they were fleeing in the first place, and now they are blocked again, and panic began to spread in the troops stand up.

Some soldiers, disregarding orders, jumped out of the cars and fled into the darkness.
