789 Tragic tank battles
Ankara would never have imagined that they would receive such attention on the part of Iraq.
Just two regiments, almost half of the number of Longwei tanks that Iraq has, all appeared here, and they used these tanks against their own tank battalion.
There was no chance of breaking through at all, and he didn't even think that the Iraqis would bury their tanks under the yellow sand to ambush them!
"Order all the tanks, aim at the tanks in front, armor-piercing bullets, black arrows, all shoot out, if you can destroy one, we will save our capital!" In such a situation, they can only fight and be captured, and they cannot become the most fierce, elite, and even fanatical tank first battalion of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
They are the propagators of Allah's true bargain and the defenders of Allah's revolutionary cause.
"Order everyone, fight on their own, and stand out when you have the opportunity to ......" was Ankara's last order to the whole battalion.
Instead, he asked the commander of the communications officer, who was trembling in front of him, "Nongduo, are you afraid?" Are you ready to die for the cause of Allah? ”
How could the young communications officer not be afraid, although he was with these madmen every day, he thought he was ready to die for the cause of Allah. But in such a situation, there is absolutely no hope of survival, how can you not be afraid?
The fear in my heart cannot be spoken, because this is the first battalion of tanks of the craziest armored division in Khomeini's most fanatical religious army, the Ankara battalion representing the miracle of Allah!
"Battalion commander, on the first day I entered the Revolutionary Guards, I was ready to give everything I had for the cause of Allah!"
Take courage. The young communications officer said this.
In the end, he felt as if there was nothing to be afraid of.
Perhaps, this is what the battalion commanders often say. From the words of the Chinese instructor: the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road.
Or, this is what the Chinese instructor said, on the battlefield, the complicated situation, the nervous heart, there is no time and energy to think about whether you are afraid. Even if you want to be afraid, you have to wait until the war is over.
The war is over. If alive, there is nothing to be afraid of, because it is over.
If it's dead. There is no need to think about what to be afraid of or not to be afraid of.
"Boom!" Ankara used its own artillery commander's sight, and did not wait for the commander, who could not tacitly cooperate with them in the battle, to report the parameters.
They were only less than two kilometers away from the enemy who was ambushing them in front, and they were so dense that they didn't need to aim too carefully at all. The other party is still crawling outside. Once they've all crawled out. It is estimated that it is about to be fired.
He simply fired all the remaining three Black Arrow anti-armor missiles on the top of the No. 111 tank at that side, and then adjusted the height of the barrel, and as soon as he aimed at the tank in the distance, he fired directly. Three successive shell-piercing shells were fired, causing the tracks of the two tanks that were crawling out of the mud and sand to break off and crawl into the nest before continuing to choose another target.
"Woohoo!"
The others were also aware of this problem, and rushed straight ahead at speed, firing missiles at the tank that was emerging from the ground. While frantically aiming at the tracks of the tanks that were getting closer and closer in front.
"Boom!" An Iraqi dragon guard that had just driven out of the ground with its chassis exposed. An armor-piercing bullet pierced directly into the interior of the turf, and then exploded.
"Hit the chassis!" Once you find the enemy's weak point, you must seize the opportunity to fight.
In an instant, all of the Revolutionary Guard tank guns began to lower the height of their barrels, and then sprayed tail disarm-piercing shells at the opponents.
More than 20 Revolutionary Guards forcibly endured the explosion of shells behind their butts and around them, and opened fire on the enemy chassis that was ambushing them not far away......
When Mubashar saw this, he could only order the other tanks to make a quick assault, and then order the other men to fire wildly......
The war became tragic in an instant.
In both directions of the fighting, a large number of tanks and armored vehicles were frantically rushing towards this area.
"Send helicopter gunships to help our tanks break through!" Alle Tedel, who had been waiting at the headquarters, instantly felt that this time it was a bit too big to play after receiving the information from the front line, but Liu Suxue, who was on the side, was still drinking tea leisurely.
In the entire southern theater of operations, there are a total of three battalions of helicopters on standby, and these helicopters are mainly used to hit the opponent's tanks, all of which are equipped with anti-armor rocket artillery.
The warheads of these rocket launchers were all converted into cloudburst shells and depleted uranium armor-piercing shells.
Even the guidance method of the Black Arrow has changed to inertial guidance.
"No, wait a little longer. Since we decided to use the Ankara battalion as bait at the very beginning, we can't mess around now. Wait until the other side mobilizes more tanks and armored troops, and we will have an armored decisive battle in this area! Liu Suxue stopped Al-Teddell's decision, "Now it's time for us to have the first regiment lying in ambush behind us to make a quick assault, and at the same time order the rest of the troops to go up and ......."
"The 1st Panzer Division simply did not have time to rescue, and by the time they arrived, the Ankara battalion was finished!" Although Al Teyder admires the Chinese in front of him very much, at this time, the Ankara battalion must not be completely wiped out, otherwise it will have a serious impact on the morale of the entire Revolutionary Guard Corps and even the Iranian Defense Forces.
"Do as Advisor Liu asks!" The Southern Theater is related to the outcome of the entire Iran-Iraq war, and Defense Minister Samnila personally sat in charge and invited Liu Suxue, the honorary military adviser of the state, to come over.
It can be said that this strategy has been premeditated for a long time by the Iranian side, and at the same time, Iraq has also been premeditated for a long time.
"Mobilize the 130th Rocket Artillery Regiment to go to the battlefield, and we may be able to capture a large number of Longwei ...... by then," Liu Suxue suggested again.
"Advisor Liu, do you want us to let the 336 rocket artillery aim at the engagement area?" Samnila didn't expect Liu Suxue to be so ruthless.
Just throw out a battalion and then gather Iraq's huge armored clusters!
"Minister, the Ankara battalion is a benchmark for our Revolutionary Guards! Once completely destroyed, it will have a ...... effect on our morale," Al Tedel's face turned blue with rage.
Although the effect of this was very obvious, he did not want to see the Ankara tank battalion, a miracle of Allah, destroyed by the Iraqis.
"I know what you're worried about, as long as Ankara doesn't die and tank No. 111 doesn't die, this battalion exists!" Liu Suxue said coldly.
When a large number of Iranian troops rushed towards the area of engagement, the Iraqis, with the help of American satellites, quickly obtained information.
At this time, the Tikrit Division had always aimed to annihilate the 1st Armored Division of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Therefore, when it was learned that Iran had begun to rescue, the entire Tikrit division and other units began to rush towards the battlefield area.
The decisive battle that was originally planned to be fought in Heram Shahr was directly launched thirty kilometers north of this important border town.
"Let the direct upgrade troops enter the front line, open the gap, and rescue the Ankara battalion!" All the troops have been mobilized, and huge mechanized troops from both sides have poured into the narrow area of tens of kilometers from Khram Shahr to the north.
When he heard that the other party actually used the strength of two regiments to encircle and annihilate the Ankara battalion, Samnila was stunned, and Al Tedl was dumbfounded, and even the corners of Liu Suxue's mouth, who had always been extremely calm, twitched several times.
It is clear that the Iraqi side is more aware of the importance of the presence of the Ankara battalion than the Iranian side.
"There is only one battalion of helicopter gunships, which is not enough ......," Al Tyder said with a cold face when he heard Liu Suxue, a bastard who was not originally Iranian, but because he had a good relationship with Khomeini, finally spoke.
More than 200 tanks besieged, how to break through with more than 30 tanks!
The Dragon Guard tank is in a strong defense, and in such a situation, it is also difficult to preserve.
"Mobilize five helicopter gunships of the Guardian Mercenary Regiment to form the second formation, and mobilize a helicopter battalion in Abadan in the south to form the third echelon!" Before Liu Suxue could speak, Samnila had already spoken. "Get the Guardian Rocket Launcher Battalion ready, and within five minutes, launch a base 336 rocket launcher carrying a cloudburst bomb!"
Now, there's no need to wait.
In the current situation, it is impossible for either side to withdraw from the battlefield.
Only the winner can be decided.
And in the core area of the battlefield, many drivers of the Ankara battalion drove the Dragon Guard tanks to the point of flying, but the encirclement was too large, and the number of their tanks was too small.
In ten minutes, they had only 17 tanks left, and the battle damage rate was as high as 50 percent.
Although they destroyed more than 30 Iraqi Dragonguards, the contrast in numbers between the two sides became even more pronounced.
Car No. 111 had several armor-piercing shells nailed to it, the skirt on the left side of the tank was badly deformed, and even the defensive fence on the outside had been completely torn off.
The situation of other remaining tanks is also not optimistic.
"Battalion commander, call from the headquarters, let's continue to break through, in five minutes, this place will be covered by rocket artillery! At the same time, the helicopter team that picked us up also came! Nondo, who had a dead face, said excitedly to Ankara, whose eyes were red.
There were only 7 shells left in the tank.
"Break out of the fart! Once they break through, they will chase after us in the back of the ass, and let the headquarters blow up here immediately! "Ankara knows that without signal guidance, a strike from long-range rocket artillery will not destroy much of the opposing side at all.
"Brothers, the time has come to die for Allah!"
