The tragic siege and defense of Khorramshahr lasted only a few more than a dozen hours, but it resulted in the destruction of more than 150 tanks of the Iraqi armored group, two-thirds of which were the new T-72 tanks that Iraq had just equipped.

However, other units in the desert that have lost the protection of armored forces are like jelly without the protection of their shells, and it is only a matter of time before they are swallowed in one bite, not to mention the devastating blow to the command center that commands the Iraqi armored clusters, which makes the situation of the Iraqi army in Khorramshahr even worse.

In the evening of the same day, the Iranian strategic reserves, which had already assembled in the northeast of the city of Khoram Shahr, finally sounded the horn of attack, and the attack echelon composed of 300 **** and "Chieftain" MK5 tanks took the lead, and launched a fierce offensive against Iraqi positions under the cover of more than 200 artillery pieces of various types.

In less than an hour, the Iranian troops opened up the land passage to the city of Khorramshahr, so that the wounded in the city were transferred and the long-awaited supplies were also obtained.

However, this elite armored force was not immediately put into the battlefield by the commander of the Iranian strategic reserve, but as the trump card of the entire Iranian counteroffensive force, ready to be used in more important follow-up operations. Moreover, the forces now are sufficient to deal with the besieging forces.

You must know that since the beginning of the counteroffensive, the "Euphrates" armored brigade has lost most of its armored forces. It was divided and surrounded by Iranian troops with superior forces, and the once arrogant "Tigris" armored brigade was also wiped out under the fierce assault of Iranian armored forces.

Although the Iraqis made a very heroic resistance with the remnants of the T-72 tanks in their hands, the few T-72 tanks did not make much waves in the face of the sheer number of Iranian armored forces and the endless tide of people. was completely submerged by the boundless torrent,

On the other hand, Major General Petrov's tactics were slightly corrected, but it was not the Iraqi troops under his command that benefited. On the contrary, it was the Iranian forces that were hostile to it, but fortunately, Major General Petrov at this time was judged missing by the Iraqis, otherwise those who knew him well would know that this kind of thing of picking up his arm and hitting him in the face. It will definitely make the Soviet general jump violently.

However, there are only a few people who can think of Petrov at this time. Most of the Iraqi officers and soldiers were more concerned about their own lives, and after seeing that the Iranian offensive was fierce, the rear was cut off, and their own aviation was suppressed to the death by the more skilled Iranians, the Iraqi people's hearts finally collapsed completely.

First, a few soldiers abandoned their positions and abandoned their intact tanks; then small groups of troops began to abandon their positions and flee; and finally the Iraqi army, which had developed into a formation, began to collapse without a fight, and those who could not escape chose to surrender on the spot in a short period of four hours. The most elite armored division of the Iraqi Republican Guard, the "Hammurabi", fell apart in this way

It's just that the Iranian strategic reserve clearly lacks sufficient flexibility and response capabilities in its organizational capacity to face the collapse of the Iraqi army. Lieutenant General Rafsanjani, as the commander, is still in order, and in addition to the fact that there are many new recruits in Iran's strategic reserves, when they see the equipment and personal belongings discarded by Iraq, they frantically rush over to snatch the spoils of war, thus losing in vain the opportunity to annihilate Iraq's vital forces

"I finally understand why the two Irans have not won or lost for two years, in the final analysis, it is really half a catty against eight taels!"

On the afternoon of the third day, the tense atmosphere of the Chinese military technical team on the outskirts of Khoram Shahr City has disappeared two days ago, and the former tranquility has been restored in the station, and Lu Jiadong, Qian Aimin and others have little leisure to sit together and chat, but when talking about the current war situation, Zhou Hao, who is responsible for training Iranian armored forces, pouts:

"A good siege and annihilation battle, just like this, it becomes a rout, alas it looks aggrieved!"

"What's not to be aggrieved, you didn't really come here to fight, to be honest, if it weren't for the cornered people who were surrounded, I was really lazy to do this!"

"Xiao Liao's words are a little mean, but it's not unreasonable!" As soon as Liao Shaoqing's words fell, Qian Aimin took over the conversation:

"Let's just do our job!"

"It's just a pity that the Iranians didn't do their best!" Zhou Hao sighed deeply: "Alas~~ If it goes on like this, the two Irans will have to fight for at least a year and a half!"

"A year and a half is nothing, at least another four or five years!"

As soon as Zhou Hao's words fell, Lu Jiadong said with a smile, but Zhou Hao and Liao Shaoqing were slightly surprised, and even Qian Aimin looked at Lu Jiadong in surprise, because in their opinion, such a large-scale war, another year or two is considered the limit, after all, in the end, the war is not a single person's bravery, or the excellent performance of a certain weapon and equipment.

At this stage, neither Iran nor Iraq is a country with super comprehensive national strength, and it simply cannot withstand the long-term attrition of a large-scale war, but Lu Jiadong, who came from later generations, knows that the Iran-Iraq war has been fought for eight years, which is why Lu Jiadong dares to draw such a positive conclusion.

But it is precisely because he is too sure that it will cause the surprise of Qian Aimin and others, if Lu Jiadong can leave a little leeway, maybe a few of them will not be like this, Lu Jiadong also noticed this, but he didn't want to explain, and he couldn't explain, so he could only lament in his heart that he was too careless, so he quickly changed the topic:

"But these are not the point, and the crux of the matter is what we have gained in this battle! For example, our new tank is lacking in night combat; for example, the protection capability of the Magic 59 'Jaguar' needs to be strengthened; and then there is our terminal sensitive bomb. The reliability of the components is still very insufficient, and there are only about four layers of hit rate in actual combat, which is what we need to strengthen after we go back.

Except, of course, in terms of armament. I think the tactical aspect is also worth savoring, although I don't know much about this aspect, but I can also see that the Iraqi armored cluster, under the guidance of Soviet advisers, has indeed brought the so-called large-depth combat theory to a very high level, and how to defend their heavy tank cluster is not also an important issue facing our country?

If it weren't for the fact that the Iraqi forces underestimated the enemy, and that we had a 'killer' type of terminal bullet in our hands. I don't think it's really clear whether it's going to be the outcome, you know, it's an Iraqi force, if it's a real Soviet heavy armored cluster. Will we ever have such good fortune?

You must know that we also have many problems in this battle, one of which is that our command and communication system is too complicated, the front line and the rear are not well connected, and effective communication between the various arms cannot be established. So that we always have a state of fighting separately in actual combat. Fortunately, our scale is relatively small and it is relatively easy to solve, but if it is a general battle of tens of thousands of people, more than 100,000 people, can we still effectively maintain such a command system?"

"Learning war from war is a glorious tradition of our army!" As soon as Lu Jiadong's voice fell, Qian Aimin nodded thoughtfully:

"It was the same in the past, and it is the same now. This is true at home, but even more so abroad, and the navy is after the Battle of the Falklands. Jia Dong was right just now, we have won a big victory with some equipment, but there are many things that need to be summarized, especially how to establish an efficient command system and improve the combined combat capability of all arms, it is indeed worth thinking about!"

As soon as Qian Aimin finished speaking, Zhou Hao and Liu Liang nodded approvingly, and this is exactly the result Lu Jiadong wants, just like the current navy's summary and discussion of the Falklands War, Lu Jiadong also hopes that the army can also have a big thinking and discussion.

After all, the future army is developing in the direction of three-dimensionalization, synthesis, and informationization, but the current Chinese army does not have such capabilities, and does not even have a little rudimentary form, and the so-called synthesis of various arms is still an extremely fresh proper term, and under such circumstances, profound changes are imperative.

However, Lu Jiadong also knows that the army is not as open as the navy, and it takes a long process to accept new things, not to mention that there are many "traditions" and "entanglements" mixed in Since it is impossible to change the whole, then start from the little by little around you, and whether it is Qian Aimin or Zhou Hao, or Liao Shaoqing, they can be called the leaders of the younger generation in the army, if they can sow a seed of the future army in their hearts, Lu Jiadong believes that one day, this seed will be passed on to ten, ten to hundred, and then take root, sprout, and eventually grow into a towering tree

"So, we still have to study hard, the joint operation of all arms is a university question!" Lu Jiadong continued:

"The military industry is the same, how to form a group to sell weapons and equipment is also a headache, I think this point, I really have to learn from the French, people are really willing to sell weapons and equipment!"

"Don't worry, Chief Master Lu!" As soon as Lu Jiadong's voice fell, Zhou Hao put down the half-gulp of water: "I will already explain to Ahmadinejad, you see, his performance is no worse than the French"

Zhou Hao was right, Ahmadinejad's performance has far surpassed the French, and after returning to combat, the mixed armored battalion under his command has achieved brilliant results and achieved an unparalleled reputation, and with the drastic changes in the situation in Iraq and Iran, the world's attention has once again been focused here, and the mysterious Chinese weapons and equipment have finally been presented to the world through layers of fog (to be continued). )
