Chapter 563: Sortie - New Tank
The reason why Hollande has such self-confidence is that he relies on the M60T main battle tank in his mouth, the M60 tank is originally from the United States, and it is one of the masterpieces of the second generation of tanks, and this M60T main battle tank that will burst the Hollande confidence index is deeply improved from the classic M60 tank.
It's just that this tank is different from the gradual improvement of the United States, but the so-called "earth-shaking" transformation based on the M60 tank, which not only draws on the successful experience of the Israeli "Magachi" tank (the Israeli upgraded version of the M60 tank), but also integrates several top tank armored vehicle technologies in Western Europe, especially the part that France is ready to apply to the "Leclerc" main battle tank is an epoch-making technology:
The 1,000-horsepower turbocharged diesel engine of the German MTU company, the new French 120mm anti-tank smoothbore gun modeled after the RH120 tank gun of the Rheinmetall company, the modular blasting reactive armor conceived during the development of the "Leclerc" main battle tank, the optimized and upgraded disturbance fire control system, and the German night vision observation and sighting system
All of this has completely reborn this tank, turning it into a new model that has been changed to the point that its mother doesn't recognize it, and as for its excellent performance, it can not only easily crush various types of tanks of the same generation, but even when it comes to the latest third-generation main battle tank, this M60T main battle tank can also compete with it, or even destroy the opponent.
Le Pen, who was sitting opposite Hollande, knew all about these situations, because the manufacturer of this tank was none other than the French company Thomson Technologies, where he worked. And this also reflects the cleverness of the Thomson company, you must know that the American M60 tank, a classic second generation, is equipped in large quantities in the Western world.
And with the gradual maturity of the third generation of tanks. The gap in combat effectiveness caused by the generation difference makes this classic second-generation tank simply unable to compete, but if it is fully replaced with a third-generation main battle tank, many small and medium-sized countries cannot afford its high price and maintenance costs.
Because of this, the top management of Thomson's company, headed by Sarkozy Sr., keenly saw this incomparably huge cake. So he used the technology mastered by the pre-developed "Leclerc" main battle tank at hand to deeply transform the M60 tank, so as to do so. Not only can it win huge profits for the company,
And it is also possible to transfer the risk of using less mature technologies to other countries in order to verify the viability of the technology of the "Leclerc" main battle tank, which is both profitable. I also found a two-bird method for experiments. So that the French Thomson company will not lose money no matter what it does.
Of course, the French, who are good at advertising on the battlefield, also know the truth of a hit, so the M60T main battle tanks provided to Iraq, the first guinea pig to taste the fruit, are all genuine goods that have been carefully selected and have excellent performance, although they are considered for cost, and some discounts have been made in terms of ammunition and fire control.
But under the old Sarkozy's vigorous maintenance and the smashing of a lot of dollars. The performance of these tanks is still one of the best, at least it can crush Iran's active tanks. Coupled with the personal command of Hollande, a master of armored warfare tactics, although there are only two companies and 24 M60T main battle tanks, it can exert the combat effectiveness of at least one armored regiment.
What's more, judging from the current situation, the entire battle plan has been implemented quite smoothly, if this trend continues, the armored battle group commanded by Hollande can not only capture the city of Homshahr, so that the old Mr. Sarkozy's wish can be achieved, but also horizontally cut the Iranian army's defense line, thus reversing the situation of the Iran-Iraq war, and the trend can also make this M60T tank famous, and countless waves of green dollars can immediately drown the entire Thomson company
At this moment, under the influence of Hollande's victorious laughter, Le Pen's blue eyes seemed to be glowing with golden light, and it was at this moment that he left behind the ridiculous worry just now, no matter how powerful he Lu Jiadong was, no matter how strong he was, how could he stand up to the entire Thomson Technology Company? No matter how strong he was, would he really fight? Could he really be an angel? Joke, he is a man, not a god, as long as he is a human, he is nothing great
Thinking of this, Le Pen also laughed proudly with Hollande, and at this time, the command radio next to him suddenly heard a request from the commander of the Iraqi T-62 reinforced battalion who was acting as a cover, but before the battalion commander could finish speaking, Hollande grabbed the microphone and shouted in extremely authentic Arabic:
"Don't stop, keep going! Remember, you're the hot knife that cuts to the butter, press the throttle hard, use up all the oil in the tank, don't talk so much nonsense to me, just remember to attack, attack, attack again"
With Hollande's order, the entire armored battle group once again opened up at full speed, and instantly rolled up a cloud of sand and dust in the desert, like a storm that devoured everything, and swooped towards the target not far away, and at this time, the city of Homshahr, which was at the forefront of the storm, had already fallen into chaos
"Positions were attacked by massive Iraqi fire"
"Several lots have been breached"
"The aviation is entangled by Iraqi fighters and is unable to provide effective support"
"The armored forces of the front line could not be called back in time"
"Iraq's interspersed armoured cluster is less than ten kilometers from the city of Khomshahr, which is already in danger"
Lieutenant General Jarrad, commander-in-chief of Iran's southern cluster, listened to one bad news after another, and the whole person was about to despair, thinking that Iraq's attack on Chen Zihao and others was just a harassing military operation in the usual sense, which has long been common on the Iran-Iraq front, but he did not expect that the Iraqis used their eagerness to rescue the Chinese to attract the attention of him and even the entire command of the southern Iranian cluster to the village of Kilmal, but the Iraqis suddenly hit a left hook at this time, slamming the brain of the southern cluster. Homshahr City!
Meanwhile. The entire defense zone of the southern cluster was fully plunged into fierce fighting, and all the forces that could be used by Lieutenant General Jarad were pinned down on the front line and could not be mobilized, and the rear was due to nearly half a year of offensive warfare. The reserves have long been depleted, and now Lieutenant General Jarrad, who has neither a soldier nor a single vehicle or horse, has only one choice in the face of the menacing Iraqi armored battle group
"Commander-in-Chief, the enemy has reached the outskirts of the city of Homshahr. Let's retreat, believing that with Allah's blessing, we will take back this beautiful city!"
Watching Jarrad sit there stunned. His adjutant reminded him with an anxious look, and Lieutenant General Jarrad, who knew about the incident, came back to his senses, and then rubbed his tired cheeks vigorously with his hands, and the whole person immediately regained his composure. Then he stood up. Speaking to his adjutant:
"Tell Ahmadinejad that you have to hold off the Iraqis for an hour, no matter what, just an hour!" As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed his clothes and took his own stride, but the moment he walked out of the office, he looked back at the scenery through the window again, and muttered in a tone almost prayerful:
"May Allah bless Ahmadinejad so that he can complete his mission. Blessed"
"May Allah bless us in being able to defeat the invading infidels, your devout believers. Ahmadinejad!"
The same words were solemnly said by the commander of the mixed armored battalion Ahmadinejad, who had just been equipped with a new Chinese tank and a 59 "Jaguar" tank.
Although it is not very familiar with the new equipment and its combat effectiveness has not been fully built, as the only armored unit deployed in the city of Homshahr, this unit with many deficiencies has to take on an extremely difficult task in the face of the wolf-like Iraqi armored group.
Perhaps because of this, the Southern Cluster Command did not expect much from Ahmadinejad's troops how long it could resist, so it only gave an order to delay the enemy for an hour, after all, an hour was enough time for planes to fly to Tehran, but contrary to the opinion of the Southern Cluster Command.
Ahmadinejad, who has always been a maverick, is full of confidence in his mixed armored battalion, which is not only from his own grasp of actual combat experience, but also from the strong self-confidence established by the actual exploration of the two tanks these days, because of this, Ahmadinejad firmly believes that as long as it is used properly, let alone dragging the Iraqi armored battle group for an hour, it is not impossible to defeat the whole thing, but when this confidence meets the firm eyes of the two people in front of him, it turns into incomparable worry:
"Mr. Lu, Instructor Zhou, I swear to Allah, I promise to defeat the Iraqis, you still"
"Major Ahmadinejad, I just want to rescue my companion and relative Chen Zihao, don't worry, we won't drag you down!"
Lu Jiadong responded with a rare and unquestionable word, and after speaking, he got into an armored command car with Zhou Hao, and before he could sit down, he asked the communicator in person:
"Qian Aimin, how did Team Leader Qian reply?"
"He said it would take another hour!"
"Hour by hour" After hearing this, Lu Jiadong first frowned worriedly, then shook his head slightly, and smiled indifferently:
"An hour should be able to hurt the Iraqis!"
"All in place, the 'Jaguar' company on the left flank, the second company on the right flank, and the new tank company in the center"
As soon as Lu Jiadong's words fell, Ahmadinejad's loud Persian voice was heard on the car radio, and then only a roar of the earth was heard, and twenty-four 59 "Jaguars" and twelve new tanks were launched at the same time, and the roaring engines enveloped the entire city of Homshahr in surging excitement
"Sortie - new tank!"
Ahmadinejad gave the order, and thirty-six tanks rushed forward in unison, inverting the "Pin" formation, and crashed straight into the incoming storm (to be continued). )
