Chapter 575: Step by Step Trap

"Where did these new tanks of the Iranians come from?"

Just when the commander of the Mosul armored regiment was grieving because his tank was completely destroyed, on the flank, thousands of meters away, Hollande, who was carefully watching every move on the battlefield with the artillery mirror, was also so shocked that he almost didn't squeeze his eyeballs out of his sockets.

Whether it is the courage of the eight new tanks lined up to block thousands of troops, or the precise firepower in them, or the network of fire woven under the ultra-high rate of fire, Hollande is shocked, but what makes him most incredible is where these new tanks came from.

You must know that in the night battle of Khorramshahr three days ago, although the Hollande armored battle group led by him suffered a great defeat, it was also in hand-to-hand tank combat, inflicting great heavy losses on the Iranian mixed armored battalion.

But now, the eight new tanks with extremely strong combat effectiveness are lying in front of the tide of armored clusters of the Republican Guard, and the new tanks that were previously used to confuse and contain the Iraqi army must have four or six tanks, and the two add up, which is not much different from the number of new tanks of the Iranian mixed armored battalion in its heyday in the night battle in Khorramshahr three days ago, which is 72 hours, and in just 72 hours, the new tanks in Iran's hands have once again regained their terrible combat effectiveness, how did they do it? ?

"Is it that China has provided another batch of new tanks? After all, this is not far from the Iranian port of Khomeini!" Just as Hollande was in deep thought, the adjutant's words suddenly woke him up, but after thinking for a moment, he shook his head:

"No way. It is absolutely impossible, in order to launch this offensive, the Soviet Union carried out all-round surveillance of the Persian Gulf, and Chinese cargo ships simply could not get close to Iranian ports, even if they were transported under the guise of a third country, they could not escape the omnipresent eyes of the KGB"

"And what's going on with these new tanks, you know, they also suffered heavy losses the day before yesterday. How how"

Listening to Hollande's words, the adjutant was also speechless in surprise, no matter what. He was also a witness to the night battle three days earlier, both during the fierce battle and on the run, and he had seen first-hand the damage to the new tanks, many of which he thought were difficult to repair. Even if it can be repaired. It will take a long time, but the real facts in front of him will make his mind appear professional terms that have not appeared for a long time

"Superior maintainability!" Hollande exclaimed, expressing the adjutant's thoughts: "This is based on Israel's experience in the Fourth Middle East War, and it has done a better job than the Israelis back then, and I don't believe that the Iranians' logistical support can outperform the shrewd and tough Israelis, so the only one can be trusted." It was China that at the beginning of the development of this tank, it integrated super maintainability into it"

The Fourth Middle East War as Hollande speaks. It happened in 1973, also known as the "Yom Kippur" war, when Egypt and Syria, in order to seize the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights, suddenly launched a surprise attack on Israel, and the unexpected Israeli suffered considerable losses, especially the armored forces, only a few days after the war, two elite armored brigades were annihilated, and countless tanks were damaged and damaged.

However, the Israelis relied on their super creativity and hard work and tenacious spirit, relying on the characteristics of American equipment maintenance, and under extremely harsh circumstances, they used the shortest time to repair a large number of tanks.

It is under the inspiration of this war that the maintainability of tanks has become the focus of attention of tank designers in various countries, but compared with them, the Chinese seem to have gone further and more advanced, knowing that in such a short time and in a harsh environment, the word "miracle" has become too pale, and only super-first-class design ideas can make all this possible

"With such efficient maintenance performance, we can use one tank as two, or even three, in an instant, coupled with outstanding comprehensive performance, we were not wronged that night, and we were not wronged."

Hollande sighed meaningfully, then leaned down again and pressed his eyes to the gun mirror, while the adjutant standing beside him looked at his watch with some eagerness, and then reminded:

"Sir, Iraq's tank cluster is about to be encircled, and it's time for us to act."

"Not busy!" Before the adjutant finished speaking, Hollande interrupted him without thinking, and then said in a firm tone: "I always have a feeling that Iran's mixed armored battalion will have a way to resist this Soviet-style armored cluster attack, and we can just learn from it!"

"But the Iraqi armored cluster has just suffered a big loss, and it may be aimed at us"

"Don't worry, Petrov doesn't have time to take care of us!" said Hollande, a hint of an intriguing sneer tugging at the corner of his mouth:

"Because, he has already found the treasure in his eyes"

Hollande was right, Petrov did find the treasure he had been dreaming of for a long time, and this treasure was nothing else, it was the new tanks at the front of the position, in fact, when he saw the destruction of the Mosul armored regiment, Major General Petrov was also shocked, but in the next moment he was extremely excited, anyway, he had not seen such an excellent tank for a long time.

Although as a faithful believer in the theory of large-depth operations, Petrov always firmly believed that absolute quantity can defeat absolute quality, but in the face of tanks with outstanding performance, it is not blindly rejected, not to mention that these Iraqis in their hands are almost like cannon fodder.

In World War II, those Soviet generals were able to use tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of Soviet lives in exchange for victory, and now with the blood of thousands of Iraqis to achieve victory, while grabbing a few enemy tanks with outstanding performance, it is simply 10,000 times more merciful than God in heaven, because of this, Petrov did not stop the offensive, but increased the offensive:

"The Tigris armored brigade, bypassing from the flanks, the Euphrates armored brigade sent a regiment to make a frontal feint, and the main forces carried out bold intersperses, launching a surprise attack from the flanks and rear, attacking, attacking, and attacking again"

Major General Petrov's hissing voice was transmitted through the radio command to the combat units of the various Iraqi armored clusters, and after licking the wound a little, the fierce beast once again stretched out its claws and pounced on the thin line of eight new tanks.

However, at this time, the eight new tanks saw that the situation was not good, and they released the smoke screen in unison, and then quickly retreated back with their superb mobility ability, and the Iraqi armored cluster was blocked by the smoke screen released by the new tanks, and they could not see the true face of it at all, and they immediately hesitated, and when the Iraqi soldiers reacted, the eight new tanks had already jumped out of the encirclement of the Iraqi armored cluster.

When the enraged Iraqi soldiers broke through the smoke barrier and prepared to launch another pincer offensive, they did not want to get into the pocket of the Iranian mixed armored battalion and had already laid an ambush position behind the eight new tanks.

Seeing that the T-72 tank rushed to the effective firing range, the 15 105mm rifled anti-tank guns instantly sounded the note of urging death, and in an instant, seven or eight T-72s turned into flames and turned into scrap metal; before the Iraqi tankers could react, the second and third waves of salvo fire followed one after another, and in the blink of an eye, the Iraqi armored units intending to encircle the new tank suffered heavy losses

However, this ace of the Republican Guard, which was trained by the Soviets, showed amazing combat effectiveness in such adversity, not only quickly organized a powerful counterattack force to cause damage to the Mogai 59 "Jaguar" tank, but also took advantage of the numerical advantage to once again carry out flank penetration and outflanking, intending to eat the weaker Mogai 59 "Jaguar" tank battle group first.

At this moment, however, eight new-type tanks, which had just escaped without a trace under the cover of smoke, suddenly struck out from the left flank of the 59 "Jaguar" tank battle group and launched a powerful counter-assault against the Iraqi T-72 tank group, which had not yet adjusted its formation.

Not only that, but the eight new tanks were also withdrawn very quickly, and before the Iraqis could react, the eight new tanks quickly retreated under alternate cover, and the Mogai 59 "Jaguar" tank as an ambush had already released smoke and disappeared without a trace.

When the angry Iraqi tank cluster again crossed the smoke screen to launch a pursuit, the Iranian infantry hiding on the flanks immediately activated the Chinese-made mine spreaders, and a large number of anti-tank mines were laid in the gap between the tanks of the two sides, and by the time the Iraqi tankers reacted, their tanks had already fallen into a minefield and could not move

At the same time, the 23 tanks under Ahmadinejad's command lined up outside the minefield, and the black holes were aimed at the T-72 tanks, which looked like targets. )
