Chapter 135, all the way forward
Bai Wuchang and all the air forces on this mission could not believe such a remarkable result, and the Iranian naval ships in Khomeini Harbor did not seem to have expected that someone would attack them.
For the Basra Air Force, the air raid was so smooth that the only interception was the fighters at Iran's Fourth Air Base, but their old Mirage fighters were still far from the performance of the new fighters of the Basra Air Force, and the only fighter lost was because it was locked by a missile boat, but it was not hit.
The pilot immediately crashed into a frigate that had not yet been sunk, and then the missile lost its target and hit the frigate directly, and the pilot did not eject, but died on the spot, which aroused the anger of the other pilots at that time, and finally they spread all the anger on the Iranian fighter plane.
To their hard time, the Prophet, with the cooperation of the Supreme Commander, shot down three enemy planes, becoming the most successful pilot of the battle, which indirectly boosted the morale of the entire squadron, and when they returned, the other eight fighters on the interception mission had also completed their mission, but allowed two Mirage fighters to escape.
However, this is the first time since the formation of the Basra Air Force that such a long-range mission has been carried out, and it cannot be said to be a simple victory, but a miraculous victory.
Although Bai Wuchang was so happy, he still understood that this had something to do with Canglong's quick decision, if they returned to the sea, there would be no current results, which is exactly what a sentence should be, opportunities and dangers coexist, often in dangerous things, there are always various opportunities buried, just to see if you can find out, and take the opportunity to gamble.
Obviously, Bai Wuchang does not have the ability to predict the unknown, but after carefully recalling all the battle just now, Bai Wuchang found that this was not a gamble, it seemed that Canglong knew all this very well, and the most incredible thing was that Iran's air defense forces did not launch any missiles.
You must know that before the war, they regarded the air defense force as the greatest threat to this adventurous mission, but after the war, they found that they were the least threatening.
After returning to their bases, they didn't have time to cheer when they got the news that because of their air strikes, the whole of Basra was now mobilized and there was a full-scale war with Iran.
This war seems to be a little inexplicable, at least in the eyes of many Prophet soldiers, but they are still moved by the Prophet piloting a fighter plane to lead the air force, and this war was prompted by a few small people to change the decision of the big man and bring this victory.
Even before Canglong came to the air base, he didn't think about what would happen later, relying mainly on the analysis of his own intelligence on the battlefield, and finally came to the conclusion, which is usually called battlefield insight, the ability that a famous general should have.
If it is replaced by Bai Impermanence, it will definitely return, and this war will naturally not be fought.
For the Air Force, they are excited, because for them the war has just begun, they created one victory, and now they are going to move on to create another.
As expected, Canglong gave the order to continue the battle, and Canglong rushed to the general headquarters.
"What are you going to do if something happens?" On the way, Su Su suddenly asked, because he was also shocked by the decision behind Canglong, and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Unless you live up to my trust, there will be no accidents." Canglong said calmly.
Su Su did not speak, Canglong dared to make such a risky decision, largely because he had done his homework before the war, for example, Su Su provided him with a lot of information, including the situation of the Iranian army in Khuzestan Province, and even the psychological condition of some senior commanders.
If you just grasp the enemy's movements and mentality, it will not work, and there is one more important thing to grasp, that is, the mentality of your own people.
That's why Canglong said that he trusted Su Su and them, and without them, Canglong would certainly not be stupid to take risks.
The General Headquarters, when Canglong appeared, everyone looked at Canglong with a solemn face, looked at Canglong in awe, and saluted a military salute, obviously the success of the air raid has spread throughout the General Headquarters, which is also to boost morale for the next war.
Canglong didn't say much, just returned a military salute, and then everyone went to their own homes, but a mark had been imprinted in their hearts, the prophet was omnipotent, and even said that the prophet was invincible.
There was only Badr in the general headquarters, and after seeing Canglong come back, he didn't say too much, but took out the map and reported the battle situation to Canglong.
"Because of the long-term threat of artillery groups of field divisions, Iranian troops withdrew from border cities." "So we crossed the Shatt al-Arab with ease, and occupied the Iranian border cities of Abadan and Khorramshahr, and are marching towards the port of Khomeini in Shadaigan. Badr said.
Canglong looked at the map, but his face was cold: "Why is it the port of Khomeini, and not Ahvaz?" Ahvaz is the capital of Khuzestan province and the center of the oil industry, and as long as it is occupied, the port of Khomeini and the nearby port of Maher are in the bag, so why run to a port that has been destroyed by the air force? ”
In the face of questioning, Badr was silent, how can you not say that we started this war to cover your old man's actions, right?
As a subordinate, Badr is still self-aware, and it would be stupid to say so, so Su Su spoke: "The air force only destroyed the warships in the port, but did not destroy the facilities in the port, if it can advance here, destroy all the facilities and materials in the port, so that if this port wants to be rebuilt, it will take a long time, and in this time, even if the Iranians retake Khuzestan Province, their navy will not be able to resupply in this port, and it is difficult to pose a threat to us." ”
Badr gave him a grateful look, and Canglong fell silent, and then he asked, "Where is the old black now?" ”
"The last time General Black reported his position, he was on the front line in Sadaigan." Badr pointed to the map, "According to the speed of his advance, he should be close to the port of Khomeini by now, I think he should be slowed down, the armored brigade of the field division is advancing too fast and is vulnerable to ambushes, I have given the order to slow him down and wait for the artillery brigade and missile units to be in position." ”
Hearing this, Canglong looked at the map and suddenly said something that no one could understand: "He will not go to Khomeini Port." ”
"What do you mean?" Several people looked at Canglong, not knowing why.
Canglong pointed to the capital of Khuzestan Province, and Ahvaz said: "The armored brigade should go this way, the target of Lao Hei is Ahvaz, order the missile unit and the running group to move in this direction immediately, and order the special operations brigade to parachute into the rear of Ahvaz, carry out the decapitation operation, destroy the port facilities, and hand it over to the militia troops." Both Badr and Su Su looked incredulous, but soon the air force came with the news that Hei Wuchang had taken the armored brigade and went to Ahvaz, the capital of Khuzestan Province, and it was two hours ago.
This guy seems to be the same as Canglong, he has no habit of making reports, and under the cover of the air force, he advanced all the way to the outskirts of Ahvaz, which means that he marched nearly a hundred kilometers in two hours, leaving the infantry and artillery groups behind, and the most surprising thing is that the Iranian troops defending along the way, as if they were sleeping, did not expect the armored troops of Basra to suddenly appear in front of them.
As a result, the Iranian defense forces almost collapsed to the end, and it was not until they advanced to the vicinity of Ahvaz that they encountered great resistance, and had to stop the attack and wait for the infantry and the running group to come closer.
Badr and Susu were amazed, because Canglong did not know the prophet.
Seeing their appearance, Canglong explained: "The main force of the enemy army is in the direction of Ahvaz, according to Lao Hei's character, he will not look for those soft persimmons to pinch, and he will push all the way to Shadaigan and find that it is some small resistance, of course he is not reconciled, so he will definitely advance in the direction of the enemy's main force." Canglong said helplessly, "If my guess is correct, he should have launched an attack on Ahvaz by now." ”
"How is it possible, hasn't it already stopped? Without the support of infantry and artillery groups, it will be difficult for armored brigades to attack Ahvaz. Badr disagreed, "The Revolutionary Guards are the real elite." ”
But Canglong was full of confidence: "When we attacked Khomeini Harbor, the Iranian air defense forces did not fire a single shot, that is to say, they all supported the main forces, and the only ones who met us were their fighters, and the result can be imagined, if it was not for the beating very badly, I believe that the command of Huzestan would not have transferred all the air defense forces." ”
"Then why are our fighters not threatened?" Su Su questioned, "You must know that after you left, we only had a total of six fighters, and they participated in the war later, if the air defense force was transferred over, even if they were not all shot down, at least there should be battle damage, but the air force did not have battle damage." ”
"The defense of Ahvaz's periphery should be the regular troops, and its real elite Revolutionary Guards should be in the suburbs of Ahvaz or in the city, the air defense forces are basically deployed along the coast, and when they are transferred back, they see the corpses of the regular troops all the way, plus the air force is almost completely wiped out, what do you think they will think?" Canglong asked.
"They'll think Ahvaz has been captured." Badr said.
"Even so, as long as the commander of this air defense force is not a fool, he will not run away." Su Su said strangely.
"If he wasn't a fool, how dare I strike at the port of Khomeini?" Canglong said calmly, "Do I look like the kind of person who engages in suicide attacks?" ”
Looking at Canglong's eyes, Su Su suddenly thought of one thing, in the information he received a few days ago, it seemed that there was information about the commander of the Air Defense Force, and he handed it to Canglong without looking at it carefully, and now that Canglong said so, he suddenly understood the mystery
