The suite where Shapur lived became the station of the military advisory group, and Li Lu recruited Zhao Rongjun and Mai Guanghua, both of whom had served as battalion and company commanders and had rich experience in tactical command.

Li Lu also made up his mind to make a cameo role as a military adviser, and in general, agreeing to give advice to Shapur would have more advantages than disadvantages, and the benefits far outweighed the costs. As far as the Middle East is concerned, because of its rich oil reserves, it has long become a region coveted by Western countries, and in the future, it will be a hot spot for world disputes.

It can be said that whoever grasps the Middle East will grasp the future, and the future is the world of energy. For at least 50 years, traditional energy will remain the only source of economic development that the world can rely on.

Twenty or thirty years later, the country will have the strength to truly participate in the energy affairs of the Middle East, and now there is an opportunity to lay the foundation in advance to arrange the layout, and the cost is very worthwhile.

After careful consideration, Li Lu decided to seriously help the Iranians solve the current predicament, but he couldn't beat the Iraqis too hard, that is also the customer!

With a certain number in mind, the rest will be easy to do.

Li Lu said decisively, "Mr. Shapur, I need a line that can communicate with the front-line troops in a timely manner, and at the same time, I need an officer who can directly command the front-line troops to fight here. ”

Shapur agreed, "No problem, I can get the authorization to give orders directly to the commander of the front-line troops, and now I will immediately ask the people of the General Staff to set up a special line to the hotel." ”

"That's good, it's a temporary home for the Military Advisory Corps." Li Lu said, "First of all, please conduct a comprehensive security check of the hotel to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

"I'll arrange it right away!" Shapur hurried out of the room, apparently needing to make a personal trip to the front headquarters set up in the city.

Li Lu also learned more about Shapur's identity, and it was impossible for the head of the enterprise to obtain authorization to give orders to the commander of the front-line troops. Shapur's ability to receive such an authorization at least shows that his status within the military will not be low.

Zhao Rongjun and Mai Guanghua were seizing the time to familiarize themselves with the battlefield situation. Shapur was clearly prepared, and the maps and information they held in their hands were all translated versions. In fact, in the next room, there was a translator that Shapur had worked so hard to find, all of whom were overseas Chinese. There are very few people who can switch between Persian and Huaxia.

It can be seen that Shapur attaches great importance to the military advisory group, although in his opinion, some of them mean to rush to the doctor.

Li Lu knows the efficiency of the Iranians, so he knows that he can't be in a hurry, the situation is already so bad, no matter how bad it is, it can't get any worse.

Zhang Weiwei took the tea brought from China and loved, and Li Lu made the tea by himself. I don't drink it hot, and I'm always feeling uncomfortable.

Idle, Zhang Weiwei also went over there to follow Zhao Rongjun and the others to study the battle situation.

Li Lu slowly drank tea and thought seriously. The Iran-Iraq war in this time and space has undergone a fundamental change, not some change, but a completely upside-down change, which means that the advanced consciousness he possesses is useless, at least for now.

However, knowledge of all aspects of the warring parties is still useful.

The Iraqis worked so hard to form this direct offensive against Ahvaz, with the aim of seizing the oil-producing area south of Ahvaz all the way to the port of Khomeini, and to gain an important port. Saddam Hussein's heart is big, and this is the intention to eat the economic zone of southern Iran in one bite.

There is not much time left for the Iranians, and how to hold Ahvaz is the biggest problem at hand.

I don't know how long it took, Zhao Rongjun and the others came over and sat down.

Li Lu came back to his senses and said, "Tell me what you think." ”

Mai Guanghua spread the map of the city of Ahvaz on the coffee table, pressed the four corners with a few empty teacups, and Zhang Weiwei handed the baton to Zhao Rongjun. Immediately, he and Zhang Weiwei marked the surrounding area of Ahvaz according to the situation on the battlefield situation map.

In the era when there was no automated command system, it was very retro in Li Lu's view.

After tidying up a little, Zhao Rongjun said, "Boss, Iran's war is very hanging, and Ahvaz is not easy to defend. Their deployment of troops is so bad that it has always been like this, no wonder they have been pressed and beaten by Iraq. The same allocation of troops as pepper noodles can neither carry forward firepower nor form a local superiority in troops. ”

Mai Guanghua shook his head and said, "The comprehensive performance of the Asian Tiger tank is far better than that of the 59 Tan and T-72 equipped by the Iraqis, but they are deployed in the way of one city, one region, one battalion, and one battalion of tanks is scattered on the entire front. What the hell do these Iranians have in their brains. ”

"I basically know why they have twice as many casualties as the Iraqis, and in the past, although Iran lost more and won less, many of the combat casualties were completely avoidable, and it was precisely the most casualties." Zhao Rongjun said in disbelief.

Stretching out his baton, Zhao Rongjun pointed to the city of Ahvaz and said, "This city is surrounded by sand dunes and low hills, and from the perspective of the armored forces, the impact is not great, and it can basically be treated as a plain." Their dunes have a sturdy geology, making them easy for tanks to navigate. The Iraqis concentrated most of their tanks in the center group to form an assault group, apparently studying the terrain on this side thoroughly. Overall, once the Iraqis encircled Ahvaz, it was only a matter of time before the city fell. ”

He is an excellent commander of armored tactics and has a lot of experience in how to use armored troops. His judgment is basically an accurate judgment.

As the capital of the major oil-producing province of Khuzestan, Ahvaz is of great importance, and the canning army has also been heavily deployed here. However, in the first few battles, the Iraqis took a lot of effort to transfer part of the defenders of Ahvaz and annihilate them!

The lack of defensive strength is the biggest problem.

"The Iranians have brought in the nearest troops, but even if they can catch up, it will be difficult to change the situation, and they do not have the strength to compete with Iraq's heavy armor clusters." ”

Li Lu frowned, and his gaze moved from Ahvaz to Khomeini Port. According to the intelligence of the Iranians, it began to be bombed by the Iraqi Air Force and long-range artillery, which was desperately defending. The Iraqis had a clear goal, to capture Ahvaz first and then to return to the port of Khomeini.

The standards of both sides are high, the Iraqis have a clear tactical purpose and are resolute in execution, while the Iranians are almost in a state of confusion, where the fire is extinguished. It's strange not to lose the battle like this. It is no wonder that after the end of this war, the battle loss ratio between the two sides will reach two to one. Iran killed 350,000 dead and wounded 700,000, while Iraqis died 180,000 and wounded 250,000.

In general, the eight-year war has caused great trauma to both countries, especially Iran, which has set the domestic economy back by two decades.

This is the history of another time and space, and in the current Iran-Iraq war in another time and space, which has changed dramatically, I am afraid that Iran will be more seriously injured.

For Li Lu, the best state is that the two sides win and lose each other, and no one can kill anyone, so they just continue to fight, constantly consuming weapons and equipment, so that the Red Galaxy can continue to get orders......

It is not in the interests of the Red Star that the Iranians are beaten like this!
