610 deviated from the historical Iran-Iraq war
"General Qasim, we sincerely hope that you will think again, your soldiers are not prepared, although we have provided advanced tanks, but your soldiers have not fully mastered the performance of these tanks......" As the intermediary who brokered this deal, Jack was promoted in rank, and at the same time, he also received a large bonus, and his rights were greater.
If he hadn't needed more information, he could have returned to the C.I.A. as a more senior official.
Now, after less than three months of training, the Iraqis are moving eastward, which makes him very distressed.
The war on the battlefield between Iran and Iraq has made the whole world unable to evaluate, not because they fought too well, but because their strategy and tactics have completely subverted people's understanding of modern warfare -- instead of drawing lessons and lessons from the world's military wars to improve, nor are they training their armies to cope with more complex battlefield environments according to the models of other countries, but they are still using the old-fashioned tactics of World War I to conduct wars.
This is especially true in tanks as well as in armored units.
Tanks and armored vehicles are directly charged at the enemy's position, and if they encounter enemy troops, then both sides stop, and then set up battle formations and fire shells at each other......
The Americans have been studying the most advanced tanks for several years, and it is really a little speechless to use them in such an environment.
Moreover, these tanks, in such a war, will not be able to show performance, find problems.
"No, Colonel Jack, we can't wait any longer. The Iranians received more than 300 tanks, but they were introduced one after another, not all at once, as we did. We were well trained, but they didn't. All the tanks were procured and put directly on the battlefield. If you wait any longer. Familiarize them with the combat performance and characteristics of the tank, and we may not necessarily have a chance of winning......" Qasim shook his head firmly.
He will not tell the Americans that this time he will not listen to their advice again.
Last time, it was because of the intelligence of the Americans that he lost all the command staff of the most elite regiment.
Now the Iranians are in the same situation as them, not to mention, after Mubashar fed back the information, they learned from the pain and quickly solved those problems, logistics and supplies. The problems of infantry and tank coordination, armored vehicles and tanks have been solved to a certain extent.
The Iranians are also working to solve these problems, but their tanks have always been fast in front rather than waiting for armored vehicles to come along.
"Lieutenant Colonel Jack, you don't have to persuade us. You should have faith in us, and the source of this confidence is your most advanced tanks, even the huge tank guns of the T64 tanks of the Soviets, which are not easy to destroy! Equally. The armor-piercing shells of these tanks also had a hard time penetrating the T64 of the Soviets...... "Kasim did not care at all about the advice of the Americans.
The Soviets were very unhappy that they had only purchased a few dozen T64s, and stuck them when the Ministry of Defense was preparing to introduce Scud missiles.
The reluctance of the Americans to sell missiles to Iraq made President Saddam very dissatisfied.
So. It is necessary to test as soon as possible which of the two tanks is more powerful.
The small tanks from China carried the same large-caliber artillery as the Soviets, which was very worrying for the Iranians.
In particular, the number of battles of the Rybose tanks was very small. But he showed a very strong talent.
Whether it is the T64 or the M1, it is difficult to blow up the T72 with a single armor-piercing bullet like the Longwei tank. Defense is strong. But the Iraqis care more about firepower!
Just because, the T72 is also carrying a 125 mm caliber tank gun!
Ignore the Americans. Qasim directly issued an order, hoping that his officers could attract Iranian tank troops and armored forces as soon as possible, so as to avoid Iranian artillery supporting their tanks during tank battles.
In that case, no matter how powerful the defense of the tank is, it will be in vain.
"We should take battalions and take turns to attract Iranians. They have now moved their positions and defense lines to the front a lot, and those anti-tank rocket launchers are easy to pose a threat to our tanks, after all, the range of these anti-tank rocket launchers cannot exceed one kilometer......" In the face of the doubts of his subordinates, Qasim told everyone the information fed back by Mubashar and others, who were being taken prisoner.
"In other words, as long as the opposing infantry does not come within five hundred meters of our tank, there will be no problem!"
"Starting today, we must look for opportunities to take out the opponent's Ryona tank. As long as we kill the opponent's Longwei-1, our southern front will be able to quickly break through the opponent's Ahvaz and take the port of Mahshahr into the bag...... "The task of Iraq's southern front command is the port of Mahshahr, which is the main oil-producing area of Iran.
Iran's oil is definitely the red eye of Iraq.
Moreover, because Iran originally followed the US imperialists, it has a lot of American investment, and the construction of oil fields is much better than that of Iraq.
"I will personally command this war, and the shame of those fanatics from Iran must be recovered, otherwise the Tikrit division will be removed from the president! We are the defenders of the president, and if we can't even defend our own honor, how can we keep the president safe? How to defend the dignity of the president? ”
The Tikrit division is all from Tikrit, the hometown of President Saddam Hussein, which is the army that Saddam Hussein began to form when he was in the army, just because they were all from the same place, and there was only one regiment in size.
Now a division, or even an army, is not excessive.
The establishment far exceeds that of other units, with a total of one division, three brigades and two independent regiments!
And these three brigades are all division-level formations, and the most elite is the tank division that the division lost......
The tank division is called the Tikrit Division, and the other units are also called the Tikrit Division!
The only difference is that the Tikrit armored division is paid for by the president.
Therefore, they are the loyal defenders of Saddam's regime.
In the face of the menacing Tikrit Panzer Division, Ahvaz's top brass was also very nervous.
The firepower of both sides is about the same, and even the firepower of the Chinese Longwei tank is much stronger. But the defense, for sure, will not be stronger than those tanks weighing more than sixty tons.
"If the enemy wants to fight, we will accompany us. Once retreated, Ahvaz's defense could no longer be rock solid. "It's a lot less, and the performance is a lot worse.
This made Ahvaz commander Ale. Teddell was uneasy.
The Revolutionary Guards will not retreat, and the entire line of defense will not be able to retreat.
"Your Excellency, I don't think the other side has to fight a decisive battle with our tank troops, and it is not possible for one to hide. Now the war between your country and Iraq has fallen into a confrontation, and no matter who wins this battle, the final result will be a fierce attack......" Shi Dabing discussed a lot with Ganquan, and Liu Suxue's mysterious figure also appeared here, which brought them some very good information.
Therefore, they need to put the Dragonie tank in a battle with the strongest tanks of the United States and the Soviet Union.
Even if the Iranians lose all their tanks, it's none of their business.
The Soviets needed the results of this war, and the Americans needed it.
China, even more so.
So, even if the two countries are reluctant to come up with the idea of a large-scale tank battle, in the end the war must happen.
Instead of this, it is better to let the Iranians destroy each other a little more!
"According to the investigation in the past few days, our side is not without a chance to win......
"Really?" When the Iranians heard this, they immediately became excited.
The words of the Chinese, although they sound unreliable, really make them move.
The Revolutionary Guards have always wanted to counterattack, and in the face of a more well-equipped and well-trained Iraqi army, they naturally cannot continue to trade the lives of their soldiers for time as they did at the beginning.
"Of course, but you need the advice of a more professional person." Shi Dabing introduced Liu Suxue to the commander of Ahvaz.
"Although the tank units of the Revolutionary Guards do not work well with the armored vehicle units, and there is no training in coordinated operations with the air force, in the current situation, there is only one chance to change the situation of the war - the underappreciated armored vehicle units! The infantry is in the armored car, carrying anti-tank rocket launchers and rockets, following behind the previous batch of tanks as bait or dead soldiers, once the two sides come into contact and reach the firing range, the infantry carrying rockets in the armored car will spread out on the battlefield...... "Liu Suxue's suggestion is very much in line with the current situation of the Iranian army.
"And this time, the battle line will be decided by our side. Abadan is occupied, and the Shadaigan region is still in Iranian hands, and this area is about to become a battlefield, and if the Iraqis are to have no time to separate, this side will have to carry out a counteroffensive. The Air Force must maintain the bombing ...... of the Iraqi army"
"As long as we have repelled the opposing tank forces and even eliminated some of their armored vehicles, we can completely liberate the Iraqi-occupied Abadan and even Khorramshahr ...... with high morale."
"However, there is one biggest problem, this is such a war, and some soldiers will die......"
For the advice of this unattractive old man in front of him, Ale. Teddell became excited.
Although this act is very cruel, for Iran, it is not important at all.
The Revolutionary Guards, armed with the teachings of Islam, have long devoted their lives to the cause of Allah.
He immediately bowed solemnly to the old man in front of him who had given him a very perfect and highly executed advice, and then said: "Sir, the soldier of the Revolutionary Guards, everything has been dedicated to Allah, including the ...... of life."
These words made Liu Suxue unbearable to hear them.
But there is no way to do this, and only in this way can the Iran-Iraq war be accelerated. (To be continued.) )
