"Ansar, what do you say?" Hearing Ansar's words, Khojathi was immediately furious.

He was tempted to ask if Ansar was still loyal to the Pahlavi dynasty, and everything about American imperialism was stronger than Iran! But he knew that the consequences of asking such a question would naturally have no effect on him, and it might even be because of this meritorious service, but for Ansar, it would definitely be a disaster.

The armored regiment needs such a talent as Ansar, and, many times, it is Ansar who is in charge of the overall work.

He, the regiment commander, is far worse than Ansar in terms of ability.

He is not jealous of Ansar, and he does not want Iran to lose the war, otherwise in the end, the Iranian revolution will fail, Iran will continue to be ruled by the Pahlavi dynasty, and the Revolutionary Guards will eventually be hung on the gallows by the Pahlavis.

Everyone's eyes were on Ansar.

Ansar, in such a situation, is not worried at all. After sorting out the collar of his military uniform, he said to many senior officers: "Our tank regiment is well-equipped, but the training is very insufficient, especially the second battalion and the third battalion, which are all equipment that was taken over later, without the personal teaching of Chinese instructors, only trained by the personnel of our first battalion, the time is not long enough, and the current combat capability is very poor!" ”

Ansar's words came out, and even Khojatyi had nothing to say.

He knew the situation of the 1st Tank Regiment better than anyone else, otherwise he would not have let Ansar do it.

"It's not a problem if it's just a lack of training. The first battalion is all elite, and many are college students. But what about the second and third battalions? There are also our units of armored vehicles that work together, and they have not even been trained in infantry and tank cooperation. Armored vehicles are capable of effectively providing cover for infantry fighting in tandem with tanks, however. The maximum range of the tank rocket launcher we purchased from China is only 630 meters, and if it exceeds 400 meters, the armor-piercing ability will be greatly reduced! If the first battalion is used as the arrow, the second and third battalions are used as the main force, and the armored vehicle units work together, it can only be a situation where the whole army is annihilated! Because the opposing side's tanks far outnumber us! ”

Ansar spoke these questions, and he had been studying them for a long time.

In particular, some of China's methods of warfare. It's all about fascinating him.

China has gone through too many large-scale wars, and the experience of the troops has been passed down and continuously improved. China's armored forces are not weak, but they are able to challenge the US imperialists on the Korean battlefield and compete with the Soviet Union's steel torrent.

This is something that any country in the world that is not strong enough in armor should learn.

"And, it's not just these reasons. The Ryonpo tank from China, although it has not changed much overall, has been equipped with more weapon modules, which is this. Even China's own tank crews are estimated not to have undergone much acclimatization training. The key enhancement of the Longwei II tank is the firepower output, some are anti-aircraft missiles, some are anti-tank missiles, and how to maximize the power of these missiles. We didn't have special training to fight with friendly forces, until now. None of our fighters in the 1st battalion were familiar with the operation...... "This is the biggest problem."

Without the 1st Battalion, the combat effectiveness of the entire 1st Regiment would have dropped to a worrying level.

All the bigwigs were silent.

Even the first battalion. None of these fighters completed their training and ended up showing surprising results.

As a matter of fact. After the debut of the Ryonpo tank, not far in front of the port of Maherschahr, the war on the southern front began to turn into a confrontation.

The first battalion, which has not been tested in much war, has not gained enough experience in war.

At the beginning of the encounter, the Iraqis did not react, if the coordinated armored vehicles in the back poured in, and the first battalion did not form an effective command system, a large number of tanks would be lost!

In the war, the problems of the troops are constantly discovered, and then they are learned, improved.

This is a problem that any country faces.

"Now the Iraqis will not give us any more time, the Tikrit division is the most elite unit of Saddam's presidential guard, and they are all from Saddam's hometown, two consecutive losses, so that the Turklit division has lost face, if there is no revenge, even Saddam, can not let the Tikrit division continue to maintain the special treatment and honor in the whole of Iraq...... "Al. Teddell said through gritted teeth.

The chief of staff next to him continued to add, "That is, no matter what happens on our side, they will attack!" There is no time for us to continue training. ”

"Do you have to fight?" Ansar sighed and asked the bigwigs.

They need time too much. "Didn't the Iraqis also just get the tanks for not long? They're also unfamiliar with gear! ”

"So this is our chance. Now it's not about the military quality of our fighters, it's about fighting for equipment! Whoever is better equipped will win this war. The other side is a heavy tank of more than sixty tons, and ours is less than forty tons......" The chief of staff looked very serious.

"In the event of a failure, the northern side of the port of Maherschahr will be opened. With the loss of the port of Mahshahr, our navy will be driven out from this side...... "The strategic intentions of the other side are very obvious, which is to serve the interests of the Persian Gulf.

The Persian Gulf, the other side is controlled by Saudi Arabia, and if they keep retreating, eventually Iran will lose the interests of the entire Persian Gulf.

Saudi Arabia is constantly supporting Iraq.

"Ansar, we must win this war. Otherwise, Iraq's forces will advance rapidly in the south...... "As the commander of the first regiment handpicked by Khomeini, Khojathi knows their situation very well.

Ansar shook his head, in such a situation, the Chinese tank is obviously unable to fight the heavy tanks of the Americans and the Soviets.

"Perhaps, we should ask the mercenaries from Nipudosan." It took a long time for Ansar to give his opinion.

What's going on with Nipudosan, even smart people can think of it.

Moreover, the Guardian Mercenary Group from Nipudosan, as well as the Weeping Blood Mercenary Group, a mercenary organization that is well-known on the battlefield in Afghanistan, are also good at fighting advanced troops with outdated weapons and equipment.

Shi Dabing did not expect that the command of the Iranian Southern Front would actually let them go to an operational meeting.

But when he heard the predicament that Ahvaz was facing, he shook his head helplessly.

He was not a high-ranking officer, and that kind of strategic thinking was simply not there. What's more, they like to play special operations instead of regular positional warfare. Although the fighters of Iraq and Iran are still fighting according to the formation of the First World War, only the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps can do the intensive charge.

The Iranian army's key officers were purged, and its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

Islamists are not good at commanding war.

"General, I can't give much advice on the current situation. But I personally believe that the Revolutionary Guards should change their way of fighting, and that they should not continue to charge intensively with the lives of their soldiers as before. If you want to keep Ahvaz, it's very simple, as long as you ensure that the armored forces are not damaged on a large scale...... "For the problems of the Iranian army, Shi Dabing has no good solution.

Now, it is only possible to hold the Iraqi army thirty kilometers away, otherwise their artillery will carry out a massive artillery bombardment of Ahvaz.

Tank and armored units will inflict irreparable damage on infantry if they lose a comparable enemy.

"Colonel Shi, I wonder if you have any research on armored force operations?" Aller. Teddell is now in a state of panic.

If the Guardian Mercenary Group can perform miracles again, it will be like a lifesaver for them.

Shi Dabing shook his head directly, "We just accepted special operations. But in the current environment, no matter how powerful the special forces are, it is impossible to inflict irreversible damage on the other side......"

The opposing side has more than three hundred tanks in one place, and at the same time, there are hundreds of armored vehicles, and at the same time, there is an infantry division guard, who would dare to carry out such a task?

And the other side has suffered losses, and now the tanks are dispatched, accompanied by armored vehicles.

"Of course, it is possible to make our tank units go out and carry out a tentative active attack. Test the combat performance of the opponent's new tank and the operation of the opponent's fighters. Shi Dabing did not suggest, and Gan Quan, as the deputy commander of the regiment, suddenly spoke, suggesting that the Iranian army should take the initiative to attack.

"We have a big gap now, we are superior to them in numbers, but they are more advanced in equipment than we are, and there are very few air support forces...... said. Teddell said with a frown.

"No, the other party doesn't know how many anti-aircraft missiles there are here, and the other party still doesn't know the specific performance of Houyi's anti-aircraft missiles......" Ganquan desperately agitated.

It is necessary to test how far the Lyonda is from the advanced tanks of the United States and the Soviet Union.

Ahvaz's command fell into deep thought, but Shi Dabing looked at Ganquan with a calm expression on his face.

"Yes, we should take the initiative to attack, and only when we know the enemy's weaknesses can we formulate a targeted plan of action!" In Aare. Ansar, who has a very important position in the hearts of Tedel and the others, firmly supports Ganquan.

"Why?" At the beginning, it was Ansar who was opposed, and now it is Ansar who is the first to attack.

"To take the initiative, to be able to seize the initiative on the battlefield and let the other side fight as we want......," Ansar explained.

After this operational meeting, Ahvaz began to mobilize urgently, advancing the defensive position five kilometers forward, planting a large number of anti-tank mines in a wide area, and desperately digging trenches...... (To be continued.) )
