Due to the desperate resistance of the Iraqi Air Force, the second group of Iranian planes that reached the skies over Abadan did not achieve bombing results, especially the two MiG-23 formations led by Arslan, which managed to spot the bombing formations at low altitude ready for a surprise attack, they successfully shot down several F-4 and F-5 fighters, and the rest, could only drop bombs and escape. And the MiG-23 was also shot down by the free-handed F-4 with Sidewinder missiles.

And the battle between the Phantom F1 and the Tomcat in the high altitude has also been divided, a Phantom F1 was shot down, a Phantom F1 was damaged, and the Tomcat was shot down one, because the bombing formation was no longer able to continue the bombing mission, the Tomcat also stopped fighting with the Phantom F1 and began to return.

This large-scale air battle has come to an end for the time being, and in general, there are mutual victories and defeats, but today's air battle has made the Iraqi Air Force raise its eyebrows, because the Mirage F1 has finally verified its power: the advanced radar and the medium-range Matra missile can finally kill the Iranian Tomcat head-on.

And the ground battle has also begun, the first to fall into the flames of war, is the 35th Division's trump card, Ali's armored regiment, they created the surname with an inflatable model, attracting the first wave of bombing of Iranian aircraft, which made Zhang Feng feel a little gratified, in terms of specific tactical command, this armored genius, is really full of ways, you know, in the later Gulf War, the Iraqi Army deceived the US Air Force above its head in this way, so that the other side wasted a lot of bombs, but did nothing.

The only difference is that the Iraqi Army's practice of burying tanks in the sand in later generations is not advisable, because the United States has advanced infrared equipment, which can observe the infrared rays emitted by the tank engine, so even if it is buried in the sand, it will be successfully locked and blown up.

The Iranian army made a tentative attack on Ali's defensive line. However, it was ruthlessly crushed by Ali. Because, Ali's armored regiment is equipped with first-class weapons.

The BMP infantry fighting vehicle launched anti-tank missiles, and the T-72 tank made the Iranian army even more shocked to find that the other side had successfully aimed itself and fired shells at a distance of 1,500 meters, and what was even more terrifying was that the 125 mm smoothbore gun was extremely powerful and successfully tore through the armor of the Chieftain tank.

In the minds of the Iranian armored troops, the Iraqi tanks only know how to blindly rush forward and rush forward, and when they know that they are close to five or six hundred meters, they will simply use visual aiming to launch a confrontation with Iran's armored forces.

Therefore, they were very confident that they could kill all the tanks in front of them before they could get close to a distance of several hundred meters.

However, the merciless shells flew and completely shattered their dreams, and they found that the armored force in front of them had already accurately hit themselves from a long distance, even farther than the chief's artillery.

The fat Ali sat inside the T-72 tank, commanding his armored assault forces, like a sharp bayonet, picking off the strongest part of the opponent.

Due to the automatic loader, the T-72 tank had a three-person system, with the driver in front, the commander and gun commander in the turret, and the loader was eliminated.

The commander is responsible for searching for the target and handing it over to the gun commander, who is responsible for manually entering the fire control data into the fire control computer.

And due to the advanced fire control system, the T-72 does not need to stop to shoot, and in motion, it can directly fire shells, which also increases the difficulty for the opponent to shoot himself.

Although the British Chieftain tank has strong armor protection, the old T-62 tank can only penetrate the Chieftain from the side at close range, while the T-72's powerful 125mm smoothbore gun, which fires a deshelled tail stabilized armor-piercing projectile, can penetrate it effortlessly, and it is even more refreshing if equipped with the Soviet army's own depleted uranium armor-piercing shells, which will burn in the process of armor-piercing to increase the effect.

It's just that this kind of thing pollutes the environment, and besides, the Soviet army will never export the most advanced weapons.

In order to protect their own armored forces, when they realized that they had no advantage, the Iranian army immediately and quickly retreated.

The two sides stopped contacting, and Ali did not continue the pursuit because he did not have his own fighters to protect him in the sky.

He is very wise, otherwise, as long as he chases a hundred kilometers, Iran's Cobra helicopter gunship will be dispatched to deal a merciless blow to him.

Since they did not succeed in seizing air supremacy, Iranian helicopter gunships did not dare to reach too close to the front line in Abadan.

Today's battle has put aside the phenomenon of fighting each other in the past, and the air force and the army have cooperated so closely that Zhang Feng feels that the commander of the other side must be very clever.

In order to prevent Iran's retaliation on the sea, Zhang Feng sent a reconnaissance plane to reconnoiter movements on the sea.

Although the Air Force and Army have been fighting repeatedly in the nearly a year of fighting, but the Navy has not been involved, Zhang Feng has attached great importance to this time, and if the Iranians commit to the Navy, then the situation will be reversed.

It is because of this that he attaches more importance to the personnel of aerospace companies and Dassault Systèmes.

Zhang Feng guessed well, the old virgin Alina, it was indeed after Zhang Feng left, she felt that it was not cost-effective, so she suddenly changed her mind and added this step in order to get more orders.

This missile, which had just been assembled on the production line and was ready to be sent to the French Navy, was intercepted by Alina and used for demonstration in Iraq first.

After Dassault learned about it, it also sent its own personnel as soon as possible, and if Iraq wanted to launch Exocet missiles, it would have to use the carrier aircraft of the Mirage F1, and perhaps Dassault would also get an unexpected contract.

If you want the Mirage F1 to be able to launch Exocet, you have to upgrade the fire control system, so Dassault sent engineers of the fire control system to upgrade the fire control software and hardware, and at the same time help Iraq master the use of this missile.

When they arrived, they heard that a large-scale air war had broken out between Iraq and Iran, and although Iraq had lost five Mirage F1s, it had also successfully restrained the Iranian Tomcats, and they couldn't help but feel a little happy, and Iraq was likely to buy new Mirage F1s in order to replenish consumption.

So, although they were greeted in the hangar of the Mirage F1 just after getting off the plane, the engineers did not complain.

Joseph got off the plane and looked around, this was his first time in the Middle East, as a tourist he also has a great interest in the Middle East, which has historically had a powerful empire and is also the center of Islamic culture.

However, the last trip to Moscow had cast a shadow on Joseph, and he felt that his interest had diminished considerably.

Besides, he didn't have time either, and as soon as he got off the plane, he was taken directly to the hangar by the reception staff of the Southern Iraqi Military Region.

The chief of staff of the Southern Military District, Fate, who came to receive him? Harad, first of all, greeted them with a warm welcome and high respect, expressed his heartfelt thanks for their arrival, and then said that due to the urgency of the war situation, the Mirage F1 is needed to have the ability to carry Exocet missiles, and I hope they can start as soon as possible to modify a Mirage F1.

The hangar of Nuoda has been empty a lot, and just today, the two squadrons of the Mirage F1 of the Southern Military District have been shot down by five and lost four pilots, this is a cruel war.

They were infected, after all, they had killed a few pilots in battle, and they just had to make some effort, so it shouldn't be nothing, besides, in addition to the travel expenses given by the company, the other party also provided a lot of subsidies.

As a result, the engineers overcame the fatigue of the journey and plunged into the intense work.

Joseph, too, came to the front of a Mirage F1 and disassembled the equipment hatch in the fuselage.

When the Phantom F1 was designed, it was very important to emphasize the maintainability of the surname, as long as a few hatches on the front skin were opened, various electronic devices could be easily disassembled.

After nightfall, the pilots who had gone to reconnoiter finally returned in the MiG-23, which had been hit by several anti-aircraft shells.

He ventured deeper, all the way along the sea, flew into the port of Khomeini, and found that the warships in the other port's port were nervously transporting all kinds of supplies, especially the image of a crane lifting missiles loaded on the battleship, the Iranian Navy, it is likely that there are signs of sortie!

Hearing this, the military district headquarters immediately became highly nervous.
