Volume 12 Prelude to the Great War Chapter 99 Disarms and surrender

The battle of the US troops was very fierce. 【】Its lead can be described as "miserable cannon claw."

Although the U.S. military's breakthrough action was unusually resolute and decisive, under the artillery fire with an accuracy of the meter again and again, the biggest gain of the U.S. troops breaking through was to save a large number of body bags, because under the blazing barrage, the dead U.S. troops were cut into pieces by the flying shrapnel.

Anyway, there was only one pound on the top of Kaval. battalion, moreover, a guard battalion.

Yuan Chenhao didn't want the soldiers of the first combat unit to die for no reason, and the commander of the Iranian army didn't want to be robbed of all the gains by the republican ** team.

When the U.S. forces stormed Kawar, the Iranian army was also storming Kran.

Comparatively speaking, the battle for Crane was even more fierce.

After the two attacks before dawn were repulsed, the vanguard of the Khomeini and Ahvaz divisions withdrew. On the one hand, the front-line commander told the officers and men to rest on the spot and hurry up for breakfast, and on the other hand, they contacted the artillery in the rear and demanded a covered artillery strike on the American positions in Crane. Because the main armament of Iranian artillery is still large-caliber howitzers, and not electromagnetic cannons, which have already been popularized in the army of the republic, the combat effectiveness of Iranian artillery is much inferior to that of its counterparts in the republic, and it is difficult to pose a threat to the strong fortifications of the American army. In fact, the Iranian army has several battalions of electromagnetic guns, but because there is no supporting mobile power supply system, these electric guns must be deployed near the backbone power grid with a power supply capacity of more than one million kVA, and in Iran, only the Tehran region has such a backbone power grid. Tehran is many kilometers from the Iranian-Turkish border, and it has long exceeded the maximum range of the first generation of electromagnetic guns equipped by the Iranian army.

It was at this time that Yuan Chenhao joined forces with the Iranian military again and asked the Iranian army to adjust its offensive deployment.

Khomeini's and Ahvaz's divisions, which were in front, were still attacking the main attack, while Hassan's division, which was following behind, maneuvered westward, trying to bypass Crane and occupy the three-way junction between Crane, Hakkari and Gulpernal, and preventing the American troops from breaking through to the north. Although judging from the situation at the moment, because the first combat unit has already surrounded the city of Van and the vanguard is advancing towards Gulpenar, it is unlikely that the American army will break through to the north, but in order to prevent contingencies. Avoiding unnecessary trouble, Yuan Chenhao still decided to take control of the only passage from Hakkari to Gulpenar and block the US troops in Hakkari. Attacking in the south, in four Iranian divisions attacking from east to west, to be exact. The Abadan Division and the Basra Division, which are slightly less combat-ready, have already mentioned earlier, and this is two catties. The division, which was reorganized from the militia units, could be regarded as a reserve force advancing in a southeasterly direction, and was responsible for attacking Yuksekova and Shemdinli, and opening the road from the south of West Azerbaijan Province to Turkey. The third ground supply channel on the Eastern Front. Because the tactical airlift forces of the 10th combat unit are already being transferred to Iraq, although it is possible to continue to supply the 1st combat unit. But Yuan Chenhao was very aware of Pei Chengyi's arrangement. That is, the tactical airlift force of the 10th combat unit is very likely to serve the 5th and 8th combat units in the next battle, so that Jiang Wancheng and Wang Xueping can advance to Ankara as quickly as possible, so it is necessary to establish more ground supply channels as soon as possible, and do not pin their hopes on tactical airlift. The other two Iranian divisions, Ahmadinejad and Andymeishk, combined with Khomeini and Ahvaz, continued to storm Kran. Because the south of the battlefield is the highest peak in Turkey, which is close to the stubborn altitude of Mount Gilo, Yuan Chenhao does not have to worry about the US army breaking through to the south, so he did not let the troops go south of Kran.

When Yuan Chenhao adjusted his deployment. Staff officers of the front command have already arrived at the front

Although Yuan Chenhao did not want to meddle in the combat operations of the Iranian army, according to the secret agreement reached between the two sides, the front-line command could send coordinators to the Iranian army when necessary to indirectly direct the Iranian army to fight. Yuan Chenhao sent his staff officers to the front line in the hope that the front-line commanders of the Iranian army would understand the campaign intentions of the commander-in-chief of the northern front and carry out the combat orders accurately and in a timely manner.

Skynet, bright, the Iranian army launched a third offensive.

As if to prove something, the commanders of the Khomeini and Ahvaz divisions sent all their forces in the posture that they did not intend to move the fourth round of attack, and asked the Ahmadinejad division and the Andymyshk division to send several infantry battalions to follow behind the armored forces and strengthen the control of the position

More importantly, the artillery of the Khomeini division with the Ahvaz division reached the first line.

This round of offense was very bloody.

Although the power of the hand-armed millimeter howitzer is far inferior to that of the large-caliber electromagnetic gun, the mass is only more than kilograms, and the lethality of the millimeter artillery shell is not as good as that of the kilogram-level shell, but the Iranian artillery dragged the artillery outside the US position. The howitzer was used as a tank gun, and it was leveled to carry out a direct-aim strike at the US position.

If intermittent firing is required, the Iranian army calls in the artillery of the other divisions that remain behind.

The Iranian army is so large, in fact, it is exposed than the introduction with. The design flaw of the ugly mouth is that neither of the main weapons of the main battle equipment is capable of striking strong fortifications, whereas before that, the main battle tanks equipped with mm tank guns were able to easily knock down the strongest fortifications. In fact, it's not a loop. Wangkou does not have the ability to strike at solid targets, and the army of the republic has long been older than 3. The EEG cannon opened against the defense, Wei's special shells. The anti-fortification missiles equipped with Choukou are only for export, and the millimeter special artillery shells belong to the ban on arms sales, and the price of anti-fortification missiles is too expensive, and the general state will not purchase them in large quantities. As a result, the Khomeini and Ahvaz divisions were far inferior to the combat units of the Republican Army, and in order to deal with the enemy's strong fortifications, large-caliber howitzers could only be used as tank guns. If it weren't for the fact that the Iranian Army had eliminated all the bulky self-propelled howitzers and adopted light looting guns, I am afraid that it would have been time to attack. The big guys, who look like tanks but can only withstand machine-gun bullets, are likely to follow the tanks and attack the American positions.

In any case, under the full and complete artillery fire of the Iranian army, the defenders of Crane soon collapsed.

The battle continued until Jiao was around. The last US firing point was pulled out by Iranian forces.

Because Yuan Chenhao asked the staff officers who went to the front line to coordinate combat operations to tell the commander of the Iranian army unmistakably that there must be large reconnaissance planes of both warring sides over the battlefield, and the process of the battle must have been recorded, don't be stupid, otherwise Allah will not be able to protect the Iranian soldiers who made mistakes, so most of the wounded American troops who surrendered have received due treatment, and the officers and men of the Iranian army are also very restrained. In any case, the Iranian war has passed for almost a long time, and most of these Iranian soldiers are still teenagers when the war was being invaded by the United States.

"Excesses" are still inevitable. According to video footage released by the U.S. authorities after the war, at least seven wounded U.S. soldiers were secretly executed by Iranian soldiers after surrendering, including a female beauty named by the thug. It is a "great pity" that the video was taken from above, and it can only identify the Iranian soldiers who shot and killed the wounded US soldiers, and identify the officers and soldiers from the epaulettes of these soldiers, but it is impossible to determine the true identity of these soldiers, nor can they confirm which unit these soldiers belong to, so the US authorities only demand that Iran hand over the war criminals, but cannot name the war criminals. The Iranian authorities, however, categorically deny the US accusations, arguing that the video released by the US authorities was a forgery and had nothing to do with Iran. Otherwise, why didn't the United States take pictures of those "war criminals", and at least find out which unit they belonged to. In the end, this matter can only be stopped.

Because Khomeini's division and Ahvaz's division were attacking too hard, the vanguard of Hassan's division occupied the three-way road to Hakari until about the time of the battle after the fall of Koran. Because the main force of the Hasan division was behind the vanguard, the counterattack of the American army was quickly beaten back by the Hassan division, which had an absolute superiority in strength.

At this time, the Abadan and Basra divisions, which were attacking to the southeast, had not yet reached Yuksekko

From this it can be seen that the third offensive of Khomeini's division and the Ahvaz division was indeed excessive.

Although the capture of Klan boosted the morale of the Iranian officers and men of the two divisions, and they had breakfast before the attack, the commanders of both divisions thought that they should take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack and march towards Hakkari. However, Yuan Chenhao very decisively stopped the reckless actions of the two Iranian army major generals, and asked them to only send artillery to the front to support the Hassan division, and the armored troops were temporarily reorganized in Klan, and the combat vehicles that could continue to fight were put together to ensure the formation of 3 to 1 armored assault forces. Yuan Chenhao's intentions were very clear, Khomeini's division and Ahvaz's division had already lost a lot of troops, and if they did not make adjustments, they would most likely be severely attacked by the American army at Hakkari. Although the temporary reorganization wasted time, taking this opportunity to force the US troops to counterattack to the north was able to use the defense line of Hassan's division to consume the vital strength and morale of the US troops, which would be of great benefit to the later offensive. All in all, the US military is already a boiled duck, and there is no need to compare the length of the moment. Since there were no armored units to replace Khomeini's and Ahvaz's divisions, the task of cleaning up the battlefield fell to Ahmadinejad's and Andymyshke's divisions. It can be judged from this. If there is really a vicious case of shooting and killing the wounded American soldiers, then the murderer must have come from the Ahmadinejad division or the Andy Meshk division.

Yuan Chenhao can not take time into account, but the US military is not so lucky.

After the loss of Crane, Blucher's first instinct was to fight back and recapture Crane at all costs, so he asked the thugs of the 3rd Infantry Division, who remained behind, to immediately advance towards Crane. To be exact. Because the U.S. command in Crane was overtaken before the end of the battle, Blucher sent a counterattack force before the Iranian army could wipe out the last of the U.S. troops.

It was precisely because of this that these two US military battalions ran headlong into the impregnable wall of Hassan's division.

In the battle of a surprise attack. Beat an opponent of an Iranian infantry division. In any case, Hassan is one of Iran's oldest ace divisions, with outstanding performance in the Iran-Iraq War and countless honors in the Iranian War against the US invasion. Even if the division is not lucky enough to become the first batch of main forces to be reequipped, most of the main battle equipment is very old, and the performance is relatively backward, but with the advantage of troops and the situation of being ready for battle, it will definitely not let the US army taste the sweetness.

In fact, the U.S. military at this time is no longer the U.S. military on July Day. The address of this site has been changed to: Eliminate the heart, delete please log in to read!

After a round of assault and the loss of several tanks and tanks, the commander, the commander of the armored battalion, the battalion commander major, concluded that he was ready for the year. The attack continued on the abyss, but quickly made a detour to the north, intending to outflank the ass of Hassan's division and continue its march towards Crane. In any case, Blucher gave them the order to march towards Crane without specifying which route to take.

This move ultimately saved the two battalions of American GIs, but buried the rest of the American troops in Hakkari.

Now that the U.S. forces are maneuvering north, Hassan's division is also taking immediate action. Two armored battalions and three infantry battalions were sent to maneuver northward and open the defensive line. Although several or two battalions of the U.S. Army belong to infantry divisions, they are not equipped with "Witch cavalry fighting vehicles that have passed the Iranian army's main battle tanks and old infantry fighting vehicles, but when driving off-road, the maximum degree of tracked combat vehicles with good performance is very difficult to say.

Now that the Iranian army has caught up, the US military can only speed up.

Not long after, the US military major received the latest intelligence from Crane through the tactical data network, and determined that Iranian armored forces had occupied the entire town of Crane. The last American troops also served as prisoners of war. Obviously, there is no longer any point in continuing the assault on Crane. Heading south and returning to Hakkari, not to mention whether it can break through the defense line of the Iranian army again, even if it can be rushed back, what is the point?

It is clear that the American major has such selfish intentions.

It took him about a few minutes to think about such a simple question.

That is, by the time he figured it out, his troops were about a kilometer away from Hakkari, and less than a kilometer away from Gulpenar to the north. More importantly, because when the Iranian army attacked, it carried out suppressive electromagnetic interference in the direction of Hakkari, and the combat units could only obtain battlefield information through the tactical data network, so the US major could not contact General Blucher in time, and therefore could not obtain the general's orders.

In any case, the major made the wisest choice and marched on Gulpernal! The address of this site has been changed to: Eliminate the heart, delete please log in to read!

Because the vanguard of the first battle did not reach Gulpenar until the afternoon of 2 July, the American army, consisting of an infantry battalion of thugs, did not encounter ground combat units, and after reaching Gulpernal, replenished the tanks and fighting vehicles, and then advanced westward, reaching Perverry on the night of the 2nd, and reaching Siirt in the early morning of the 3rd to join up with reinforcements. Because by this time, the superior units of the American army in this division had been completely annihilated, and it was the troops of the 1st Panzer Division that reached Silt first, not the troops of the 3rd Infantry Division, so the division was sent to Bartman to rest and recuperate, and to join the main forces of the 3rd Infantry Division. It was in this way that the US troops in the unit once again escaped. After arriving at Bartman, the division did not stay long, and was sent to the rear to guard the line of communication before the arrival of the single main force of the 10th Battle, so when the 10th combat unit defeated Bartman, the American troops of the division were very lucky to avoid the edge of the Republican ** team. Of course, these are all things that come later.

For Blucher, who was trapped in Hakkari, the collapse of the northern defence was absolutely a bad thing.

While the images of the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft came show. Iran's main armored forces were still in Crane and did not immediately move south, but Blucher did not count on much because before the American forces took Caval. The Iranian army will definitely attack again and take Hakkari in one fell swoop.

The problem is that at this time, Blucher has nothing left to worry about.

After receiving a call from Duchway, Blucher handed over command to Colonel Klose, the commander of the 1st Thug Brigade. The lieutenant general did not let the two subordinates fight to the death, but just hoped that the two would fight for the honor of the American ** while still having combat effectiveness. To put it bluntly, it means not to surrender when you can continue to fight. The question is, when is it called "can still fight"? In the tradition of the republican ** team. That is, there is still a shot and a bullet called, "I can continue to fight, and according to the tradition of the American ** team." Only when it is still possible to achieve the purpose of the battle is it called "can continue to fight". That is, if the two American colonels believe that no matter how hard they try, they will not be able to achieve the purpose of the battle, they can surrender to the enemy.

In fact, before Blucher left, both colonels did not see the need to fight.

There is no hope of breaking through, and the best option is to surrender, because desperate efforts can only lead to more casualties among officers and soldiers.

Of course, the purpose of the battle in Blucher's eyes is not to break through, but to contain the opponent's master

After arranging the "aftermath", Blucher waited in Hakkari for about three hours before boarding the vertiport that had come to pick him up and return to Iskenderun.

Before he could be beaten after leaving, the two American colonels surrendered to the Iranian forces that had already stormed outside Hakkari.

At this time, the battle for a full-scale offensive had just begun.
