"Chase me, you must leave them behind!" Mubashar would never have imagined that the opponent's helicopter not only had such a strong defense, but also such a fierce attack.

The range of the Gaoping dual-purpose machine gun on the tank was not far away, but it was just to interfere with the other side, and the other side's helicopter obviously understood this situation, and the Houyi-3 anti-aircraft missile, which should be very useful, could make a contribution in the hands of the Iranians, but it was of little use in the hands of the Iraqis.

Mubashar felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

It was not easy to surround the opponent's most elite tank battalion, and it also used the strength of two regiments, seeing that the remnants of the opponent's tanks had broken through, how could they agree?

He didn't believe that the helicopters would carry too many decoy bombs.

"Ankara, go directly to the east, there are responding troops over there, and the missile attack ...... will be found here," the middle-aged Chinese said to Ankara and others in the No. 111 command vehicle in the communication channel.

"Boom, boom!" Another round of missile firing blew up several tanks behind the Ankara battalion that were turning their muzzles, and the helicopters began to prepare to protect the remaining eight tanks below and rush out.

"Why haven't the rocket artillery come yet!" Seeing that the tanks on the ground began to scatter in order to avoid the helicopter strike, the middle-aged man couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

Once these tanks are dispersed, the power of the blow will be somewhat small.

Moreover, the place is in a flat and open space, and the power of the cloudburst bomb is greatly reduced.

"Attention all units, prepare for a rocket strike!" The weapons equipped inside the Z-91. That is, two missiles, one rocket artillery, and then there is a 63-mm rocket launcher. Since they did not consider encountering the opponent's air units, when they came, each of these helicopters was equipped with anti-tank missiles, and did not carry anti-aircraft missiles and air-to-air missiles modified from Houyi-3.

How effective the rockets will be, they can't guarantee.

Even if the Black Arrow-3 is modified with a guidance system, when facing the Dragon Guard, it can only do it in the weak parts of the armor on the flanks. Neither the main armor in the front nor the back of the ass is of much use.

Anyone, in the war, is the most progressive.

The Iraqis were able to react quickly to such a blow. They had no way to aim at the small armor weakness of the tank turret where it combined with the turret.

The Z-91 has been going around in circles non-stop and can only attack from the front. There are not many helicopters with anti-armor missiles left.

The only useless ones are artillery and rockets.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the artillery to break through the defense of the dragon guard, even if every shot hits the same point. I don't know how much it will take. This thing can only be used against weakly armored vehicles and unprotected infantry. Or some less sturdy fortifications.

All that's left is rockets.

These rockets are fired very quickly and are designed to destroy the enemy with intensive strikes.

Rockets are not missiles, and the attack range of individual rockets is not far, and the range of 63mm rockets carried by helicopters is actually not too far.

With a range of only four thousand meters, there are not many decoy shells on helicopters now.

The opposing side has a large number of Ryo-II tanks.

"Kasa, rush out at maximum speed! I'll find a chance to launch the rest of the missiles too! "Ankara had received an order before rushing out that the area would soon be covered by missiles. Rushing out of it, the tanks that were pursuing them had already been thrown a few hundred meters away. In particular, more than a dozen tanks in the back were destroyed by the anti-tank missiles of the Z-91, which made the tanks behind hesitate and did not dare to step forward.

"Rush forward! Kill them! "When Mubashar saw these helicopters coming, not to mention the big losses, and let the completely surrounded Iranian tank battalion escape, how could he let out that breath in his heart!

For a moment, the helicopter circled in the sky, and the tanks on the ground began to move wildly in one direction, and from time to time shells exploded around the front few tanks that seemed to be about to fall apart at any moment, and were scarred.

And the several tanks that fled in front of them, in such a situation, not only did not care about running for their lives, but drove their speed to the maximum and made various maneuvers forward, but the turrets were still thinking about turning behind. And the missile launchers on it are also rapidly turning towards the back.

From time to time, a shell was fired at the pursuing tanks behind.

Speed and violence, in this moment, are vividly interpreted by the fanatical Iranians.

The madness of the Revolutionary Guards, at this moment, was completely revealed.

This is not an escape, not an escape, but a real strategic retreat.

Moreover, in the process of escaping, they were all very accurate.

In the yellow sand, the tanks could not reach the maximum road speed, but the speed was not slow, and in a short time, several tanks of the Ankara battalion, escorted by helicopters, opened a gap of thousands of meters with the pursuing tanks behind.

"Tell the artillery in the back to bomb me!" Mubashar was in the last area, and the other tanks were also desperately pursuing, but they were getting farther and farther away from each other.

If it is attacked by the opponent's long-range artillery fire again, it will be difficult for the Longwei tank to survive under the fire of long-range heavy artillery, even if it is thick-skinned.

He had already received information that the large tank force of the opposing side was less than 30 kilometers away from this side, and the large troops of the Tikrit Division that had come to support them in the rear were still about 25 kilometers away.

The shrill sound of a ......fast-moving object cutting through the air is getting louder and louder in the sky.

"Hurry up and evacuate, the missile is coming, this is not rocket artillery, this is the 8208 missile ......" After an exclamation, all the helicopters began to quickly dial high, no longer caring about circling back and forth in this area, Ankara and others have already rushed out, if they don't know what to do, it is estimated that they will be suffocated by the 8208 missile's cloudburst bomb burning and draining the oxygen in the air.

Longwei has an air-conditioning system inside, and it is relatively high-temperature. The instantaneous high temperature would not have caused irreversible damage to Long Wei without a large-scale concentrated explosion.

A strike hundreds of kilometers away, that's not so precise.

But for sure. If the tank falls in the center of the explosion, there will definitely be only a puddle of molten steel left.

"Accelerate! Hasten! "Rao is Ankara and others, and they are also flustered in such a scene.

After such an hour of crazy operation, Casa was already sweating profusely, and he didn't even want to say anything more at this time.

They don't know that this area will become a purgatory on earth. This region, which begins now, will affect the course of the Iran-Iraq war as a whole. It affects the situation in the Middle East as a whole, and indeed the situation in the world.

"Boom!" The earth trembled with a violent explosion.

These missiles are not equipped with cloudburst bombs, but conventional warheads.

The center of the explosion. Exactly in the middle of two Iraqi Dragon Guard tanks. The blast wave of the explosion knocked the frantically moving tank on both sides.

"Spread out ......" Mubashar had just given the order when his voice stopped abruptly.

A huge missile just landed on the tank he was in and exploded, and the explosion was so violent that the entire tank turned into a pile of scrap metal, and the people inside were never intact again.

"Boom!"

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Hundreds of kilograms of bombs lifted the yellow sand on the ground dozens of meters into the air.

The Iraqi tank troops, which had lost their command, began to flee frantically in the surroundings, and the attack of more than 20 missiles did not destroy many tanks, but caused the Iraqi tank units to completely mess up.

"Fire!" More than ten kilometers away. The heavy artillery in the hands of the Iraqi artillerymen began to roar, which was an order from above.

Originally, it was just a duel between tanks and tanks. The battle between tanks and helicopters instantly joined the artillery unit.

The Ankara battalion, which was frantically fleeing towards the front, was instantly covered by the dense explosion range of shells.

And the helicopter in the sky can only quickly flee into the distance, and it can't be cared about.

"Rocket artillery preparation, coordinates 294, 309, elevation angle 27...... Three test shots! "On the Iranian side, the rocket artillery units, which were already within ten kilometers of the battlefield, were ready for firing in less than five minutes.

These rockets were used against Iraq's scattered tank forces, and the effect would be better than those missiles modified from the Hongqi-2.

With a helicopter in the sky as a guide, you don't have to worry about missing.

"Launch!"

"Woo Woo ......"

The rockets on dozens of rocket launchers, after receiving the order, fired three rockets in less than three seconds towards a place that was simply invisible in the distance.

Hundreds of shells exploded not far behind the area of the Ankara battalion, which was already covered with artillery fire.

There is no other shell that blows up a lot of dirt when it lands, and there is no deafening sound, but it has a more dazzling visual effect than when other shells explode.

"Corrected coordinates, elevation angle 26 ° 49 ', direction positive 16 ', three rounds of salvo!" The orders of the command of the rocket artillery were quickly carried out.

The remaining 16 shells in the launch vehicle were all fired in less than forty seconds.

"Knock knock knock ......" The low explosion began to spread in all directions with a shining light.

Ripples rippled in the air from these points of explosion, and then joined together.

"Insufficient engine output...... Iraqi tanks in the epicenter of the explosion suddenly found that their powerful engines were unable to provide the power they needed to escape at this critical time......

This is a high-power diesel engine, capable of making a 40-ton iron lump soar at a speed of 70 kilometers!

But at this moment, there was a problem.

The regimental commander was hung up, and the deputy regimental commander Ihaji had not yet fully taken over all the command, so in such a situation, he could only order everyone to quickly retreat to the rear and report the matter to the headquarters in Basra.

Before that, the Basra command was already busy.

"A large number of long-range missiles are coming!" This news made the entire Iraqi command in Basra nervous, the air defense radar is now on 24 hours a day, they did not expect that the Iranians would start launching missile attacks before the decisive battle!

"What is the target?" Khamlam was sent to the Southern Command as a special adviser to the president, and after receiving the news from the Americans, it suddenly became serious.

The Iranians must have gotten their hands on quite a few missiles in China.

"Coming in the direction of Basra...... "The direction of the missile flight in the sky is towards Basra.

However, before the air defense sirens in Basra sounded, the missiles disappeared from the satellite surveillance network.

"30 km northwest of Khramshahr, the area of tank engagement between Iranian Highway 37 and Highway 96!" The intelligence officer's words immediately made Qasim's face look like ashes.

The missiles were directed at the Mubashar regiment.

"Contact the Mubashar regiment immediately and ask about the situation!" If the missiles used by the opponent are equipped with high-explosive bombs or armor-piercing shells, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties under the intensive attack of dozens of missiles.

At that time, there will be no way to account to the president.

The situation in the southern theater appeared on Saddam's desk in less than a minute, and although the Americans' satellite systems could not monitor them clearly and effectively, his radar soldiers were able to tell him a lot of information he wanted to know.

"Since Khomeini's grandson wants a decisive battle, let's fight them! Order the Basra command to send me all the missiles around Basra to the territory of Iran! "The president was furious.

Dare to compare the number of missiles with Iraq?

"President, are you going to launch an attack on Tehran?"

"Wait until the results of the Southern Theater come out!" Saddam Hussein is very unhappy now. "Let the Air Force and the missile forces be ready and ready at any time!"

The attack on Tehran took a lot of their energy.

"President, General Qasim is here, a large number of Longwei tanks have failed engines......" Before Saddam could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard a staff officer report bad news to him.

"What! Let Kalam take care of this! Why did the Chinese tanks not have problems in the hands of the Iranians, and when they got to ours, they broke down? Or is it such a critical moment? Mobilize troops for reinforcements! "Saddam Hussein was completely insane.

Chinese: This is definitely deliberate.

The last time I came to sell him, I told him that the defect of the Dragon Guard tank was only the chassis, and now there are engine failures on a large scale......

The Iraqi artillery was roaring, and the tanks of the Tikrit Division were still several kilometers away from the place of engagement, and the tanks all stopped, their muzzles raised high, and they desperately fired at the coordinates guided by the Americans......

And the tanks reinforced from the Iranian direction, after discovering the opponent's tank positions, also stopped, and began to tilt shells at the opponent's positions.

The largest battle of the Iran-Iraq War, known to the world as the Battle of Heram Shahr, began with this tragic offensive and defensive battle......
