against the menacing Iranian armored forces. Not only was Buchancher not afraid, but he breathed a sigh.

Because the Turkish border guards were too weak, when the Turkish line was breached, Blucher had to send a battalion of mechanized infantry to the north to strengthen the defense in the direction of Bashkale. If it was not the Iranian army that was killed, but the armored forces of the Republic Army, I am afraid that Blucher would not have had time to adjust his defensive deployment and would have been annihilated by the other side before he could resist.

Of course, the sudden appearance of the Iranian army also caused a lot of trouble for Blucher.

Anyway. Blucher sent only 2 battalions north, and 2 divisions had to be confronted.

For Blucher, the luckiest thing was that after breaking through the Turkish defense line, the two Iranian army divisions did not make any stop adjustments and killed them directly. If the Iranian army had taken a short break as planned, redeploying offensive operations while replenishing tanks and fighting vehicles, Blucher would not have laughed. Anyway, two were equipped. The Iranian Army Division leading to the Zhao Bow Pass is definitely capable of eating 2 US Army battalions. Although a short stay will give Blucher time to adjust his defensive deployment, as long as the Iranian army is steady, first eats the two US military battalions in front of him, and then breaks down the US defense line step by step, Blucher will definitely lose all his capital.

I have to say. The Iranian authorities are too eager for a victory over the Wicks. Thus ignoring the potential dangers.

After confirming that it was the Iranian army armored forces that had been killed, Blucher immediately contacted the battalion commanders of the two battalions. The mechanized infantry battalion was ordered to defend on the front, and the armored battalion to maneuver eastward, waiting until the Iranian armored forces had suffered a thwart attack, and then counterattacking from the flank, focusing on the junction of Khomeini's division and the Ahvaz division. Fight for the isolation of the Khomeini division. That is, Blucher intends to eat the opponent's most powerful armored division with a counterattack.

Of course, the strength of 2 battalions is definitely not enough.

Not to mention the US military battalion, even if it is an armored battalion of the Republic Army, it is impossible to kill a pound in a battle. Equipped with an armored division with a force and a force.

After arranging the front-line troops, Blucher began to mobilize reserves.

In his opinion, if Khomeini's division could be eaten before dawn, not only would the threat be removed, but the opponent's attacking forces from the south would be forced to slow down and gain more time to adjust their defenses.

From this, it follows that Blucher was not worried about frontal defense.

In fact. There was also no need for him to worry about frontal defense.

The U.S. military's ability to fight defensive warfare has been recognized worldwide, and after World War II, only the Republican Army broke through the U.S. defense line head-on, and there was only one time, and that was the Peninsula War that led to the second century of the drunken era. In addition to this, the frontal line of defense of the American army has never been penetrated by any army. More importantly, in ground operations, in addition to having strong air support, the US military will often counterattack after blocking the enemy, and defeat the enemy in the counterattack to achieve final victory. In the Iran War of that year. The Iranian army has never defeated the American army in a frontal battle, and has not even been able to annihilate the American combat units above the battalion level.

Although this is no longer the case, and Blucher cannot count on air support, he still has reason to believe that "a mechanized infantry battalion can adjust its defenses when it is capable of holding out the thugs."

What makes Blucher so confident is the anti-tank equipment of the US army.

In the Indian War, the "Introducing Series Main Battle Tanks and Blade Series Infantry Fighting Vehicles" not only amazed the world, but also attracted great attention from the United States. During the war, the four were active in India, hoping to get a "prototype car" for thugs. Although uranium did not get a prototype until the end of the war, it did not return empty-handed, and some armor fragments of tanks and combat vehicles were obtained before the end of the war. For the U.S. Army, the most important thing to figure out is the armor protection performance of Shao Yin and Zhao Yichi.

The armor fragments brought back not only made it difficult for the US Army to sleep, but also made the US industry embarrassed.

At the end of the phenol. In a report to the White House and the Pentagon submitted to the White House and the Pentagon by a non-permanent administrative research body affiliated with the Pentagon of the U.S. Ground Armored Weapons Committee and the American Iron and Steel Industry Association, it was clearly mentioned that it was not a problem to imitate the alloy armor used by the Republican Army in the Biyin series and the Ground Edge series. It may be possible to produce a product with comparable performance in a few years, but mass production is almost impossible because the cost is likely to be too high for the Congressional Military Budget Committee to accept. There is only one reason for this result, several trace elements in the manufacture of alloy armor are rare metals, and they are mainly controlled by several resource enterprises of the republic.

The temporary inability to produce alloy armor does not mean that the US authorities have done nothing.

Four at the beginning. The U.S. Army conducted secret tests at the Aberdeen Artillery Test Ground using an armor sample provided by Bath Steel.

The U.S. Army's armament officers were shocked by the conclusion that Tian Ichiyin's frontal protection must have exceeded the four-millimeter-thick homogeneous armor steel and was able to resist all anti-tank weapons. After the addition of additional armor, its side protection capabilities are more than millimeters, and the frontal protection capabilities of most main battle tanks, even its rear protection capabilities are about millimeters. Frontal protection of all infantry fighting vehicles. For the U.S. Army, what is most lacking is not well-protected tanks, but anti-tank weapons that can take out the lead.

Affected by this. The fiscal year. The U.S. Army applied for a $2B equipment development and procurement fee, signed pre-development contracts with Raytheon Missile Company, Hughes Ammunition Company, and other enterprises, and required them to come up with detailed design plans before the end of February.

At the end of that year, the U.S. Army chose Raytheon's "high-throw ballistic high-pitched sonic kinetic energy top-attacking anti-tank missile".

Let's keep it simple. This is an anti-tank missile that strikes the top armor of a tank with a kinetic warhead. Although the metal jet has spent every second of power meters, as long as the attack distance is appropriate, it can penetrate the top armor of all tanks, but the flight degree of the anti-tank missile using the shaped warhead is not very fast, it is difficult to break through the active defense system of the whole side, and the attack efficiency is very low. More importantly, the U.S. Army developed the "piezoelectric passive reactive armor" at the beginning of the ugly years, and this kind of passive reactive armor that relies on high-voltage current to change the shape of the armor and enhance the protective ability is mainly used to deal with the shaped armor-piercing metal jet, which has little impact on the early penetration of kinetic energy. The mother is undoubted. The main battle tanks of the republic certainly adopted similar passive armor. As more and more anti-tank missiles adopt the principle of kinetic attack, anti-tank missiles with shaped warheads will sooner or later become obsolete. Because kinetic missiles fly too fast, and the range of man-portable anti-tank missiles is very limited. Generally, it is about a kilometer, which is equivalent to 2 to 3 seconds of full flight of the missile, so anti-tank missiles using kinetic warheads rarely use the top-attack mode, after all, in such a short period of time, the trajectory of the missile changes are very limited.

In addition to the limitations of these technologies, with the improvement of tank armor performance, the application range of individual anti-tank systems is getting narrower and narrower, and sooner or later they will be eliminated by war like portable anti-tank missiles, so the republic, the United States and other military powers have not paid much attention to individual anti-tank missiles, and only medium-sized military powers like Russia and France, in order to make some characteristics, attach great importance to individual anti-tank weapons.

For the US Army, it is a very helpless choice to turn back and display individual anti-modern weapons.

To put it bluntly, if you want to get the ability to drop the old 3 as soon as possible, you have to work on individual anti-tank weapons. The new address of this site has been changed to: Regret the heart, please log in to read!

Fortunately, the United States has one of the best technical reserves, and Raytheon has long wanted to open a kinetic anti-tank missile to seize the international market, but the US Army has not been interested in such weapons, and Raytheon has been making technical reserves and has not officially started work. Anyway. If the weapons and equipment produced by the US fire enterprises cannot be favored by the US team, they should not want to get a share of the international market.

With the strong support of the U.S. Army, the four-bottom, which was numbered as an order for four missiles such as a set of firing equipment and mouths, was named "Pushpin" by the U.S. Army. By the end of the year, in addition to the first order, the US Army had ordered two more batches, and Raytheon delivered a total of four launch equipment and four Reef missiles to the US Army. According to the Pentagon's second order for the Marine Division, the Army also has a share of the Marine Corps. Among them, the priority to the "pin" is the European Army and the 1st Marine Division.

Thus. It is true that the US authorities are actively planning a war in the Middle East.

There is no problem with the "pushpin" giving priority to preparing the first Marine Division, after all, the Marine Corps is the vanguard of the US ** team, and where there is a war, there is a Marine Corps, but the enemy army is stationed in Europe, and if it is not a Middle East war, there is almost no chance of fighting with the republican ** team, and only in the case of an active Middle East war can the US Army have a reason to give priority to the "pushpin" to the European army.

Of course, in order to be less conspicuous, the United States used the establishment reform as a cover.

In any case, when Blucher went into battle with his troops, the soldiers of the 1st Panzer Division and the 3rd Infantry Division had the only anti-tank missiles in the world capable of taking out the lead at that time. Although the Russian authorities at the time of the four claimed that it developed the ugly "black pipe." Anti-tank missiles are capable of penetrating. The frontal armor of the lead is the first anti-tank weapon in the world capable of destroying the lead, but according to the tests done by the Iranian army that purchased it the next day. Because Russian designers ignored the protective capabilities of passive reactive armor, this anti-tank missile, which claims to have an armor-piercing ability of more than a millimeter of armor, can only penetrate the side armor of the dish, but cannot penetrate its frontal armor.

Of course, the thugs are not perfect anti-tank missiles.

Because it is necessary to use a high-throw trajectory to aim at the top armor of the tank. Therefore, the fighter can only be used in a relatively open and unobstructed place, and if it is to be used in a narrow space, it cannot be used in the top attack mode, and can only use a straight line aiming attack method, thus losing the ability to destroy Tian Yin. What's more. Because the rocket motive used is too small, and the maximum relative endurance of the ballistic apex is negotiable, one of the main reasons why when attacking targets, the cloud of the battlefield guard is required to be prioritized to equip the Eurocorps. This is because the European region is dominated by plains and the meteorological conditions are ideal.

Fortunately, the plateaus of the Zagros Mountains are very open, and early summer is dry and early, with few thick clouds.

Both sides of the network. As soon as they came into contact, the American GIs proved with several indisputable results that the US taxpayers' efforts were not spent in vain.

Having suffered heavy losses, the vanguard of Khomeini's division immediately stopped. This was followed by a retreat of several thousand meters.

At this time. It's almost time to tick the key.

The front-line commander of the Khomeini Division, while organizing personnel to rescue damaged tanks and casualties, reported to the division headquarters that they had been blocked, and asked for long-range fire support. Because the artillery units of the Khomeini division had not yet found a position, only the artillery brigade of the 1st combat unit remained in Sufian was able to provide support. Probably not wanting to show embarrassment, the major general of Khomeini's division did not ask for artillery support, but sent two infantry battalions up, asking the vanguard to attack under the cover of the infantry, and strive to break through the American defense line as soon as possible.

There is no doubt that this is a mistake on top of a mistake.

The results of the second round of the offensive were not much better, because the American artillery fire was not suppressed, so the American GIs uncomfortably fired anti-tank missiles at the onrushing tanks and combat vehicles, and achieved the second batch of results.

Hit to this time. The commander of the Khomeini division reacted and contacted the front command.

Without delay, Yuan Chenhao forwarded the Khomeini Division's request for fire support directly to the 1st Combat Unit's Artillery Brigade, and contacted the Joint Command, hoping that the 10th Combat Unit's Artillery Brigade deployed in northern Iraq would be ready to fight at the appropriate time.

The problem is that this time it was not the scouts of the republic's land grass that acted as the guide of artillery fire, but the vanguard of the Khomeini division.

That is, when artillery support began, no one noticed that a battalion of American armored units was striking to the east of the Khomeini division.

In fact, it is also difficult to pay attention to the armored forces of a battalion.

Anyway. The artillery support of the artillery brigade of the 1st combat unit had an immediate effect.

It can be said that after receiving the news from the front-line troops, Blucher understood why so many Turkish troops would collapse before the ground offensive began. Standing on the side of the beaten, the shelling of the Army of the Republic. I'm afraid it's the most terrifying firepower strike in the world.

It's just a hitter. Three artillery battalions! The powerful electromagnetic cannon threw a shell weighing as much as kilograms at the defensive position of the US infantry battalion, which was only 3 square kilometers in area, and it was not a single high-explosive shell, but a variety of shells. According to the memories of the surviving American GIs, the old minutes of shelling were as long as fresh. By the time the shelling was over, the US defensive positions had turned into hell on earth!

Such a heavy shelling. While defeating the American infantry, it also made for the Iranian army

Bother.

Not to mention anything else, more than 24 submunitions dropped about 10,000 anti-personnel submunitions on US positions, and about 20,000 anti-armor submunitions were dropped on the core submunitions. That is, after the end of the shelling. The attacking units of the Iranian Army had to send minesweepers first.

And this is not to blame for the artillery brigade of the 1st combat unit, but for the erroneous artillery guides of Iran.

When requesting artillery support, the Iranian artillery instructor was probably a language barrier and put forward the request for "comprehensive fire support", and according to the standards of the Republican Army, it was necessary not only to fire with maximum intensity, but also to delay the enemy's counterattack while striking at the same time, so it was necessary to use submunitions with the ability to block the attack. In fact, Iran's artillery fire guides should have demanded "total fire suppression", not the difference between the word "total fire support" and the two words, which caused unimaginable problems for the Iranian army.

In the same way, it also brought a disaster.

After the shelling ended, about a minute later, that is, around the time of the battlefield, the US armored battalion was in position.

At this time, more than half of the armored forces of the Khomeini Division were concentrated in the front of the positions of the American infantry battalions, waiting for the minesweepers to open a safe passage, while the other half of the armored forces followed the division headquarters to stay about a kilometer to the north. Serve as a tactical reserve for this round of attacks. That is, the Iranian general, who had not previously considered reserves, finally thought about the importance of reserves. It is also because of this that there is a gap about a kilometer wide between the vanguard of Khomeini's division and the main force. To make matters worse, when Khomeini's division stopped, the Ahvashi division, which had been operating to the east of it, slowed down, thus making the junction between the two divisions as wide as a kilometre.

These are two very fatal vulnerabilities.

Not to mention Duchway and Blucher, even the major commander of the US armored battalion couldn't believe that he would be so lucky to encounter such a vulnerable army after receiving the battlefield information from the unmanned reconnaissance plane.

Hit to this time. The first armored battle of the Middle East war is finally about to begin.
