Nearly eight years have passed since the last Yom Kippur War, the Fourth Middle East War, which resulted in the Arab states catching up with Israel, reversing the previous series of defeats and restoring the strategic balance between the two sides. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Through the mediation of the United Nations, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat took the initiative to establish diplomatic relations with Israel, ending the confrontation between the two sides, and Israel returned the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt according to the land-for-peace agreement.

This operation of Babylon, which was already the last major operation of the air base in the Sinai Peninsula, was supposed to end perfectly, but it did not expect to be a fiasco.

Iraq does not share a border with Israel, and it did not declare war beforehand, so it sneaked to people's land, threw a few bombs, and blew up a nuclear reactor that posed a huge threat to itself.

However, now that it has failed, it is completely different. The wreckage of the fighter plane has been discovered, and even the pilot has been caught, and now, even if you want to deny it, it is impossible.

All of a sudden, Israel was thrust into the forefront of public opinion.

wanted to run thousands of miles and surprise attack the nuclear reactor, but as a result, he returned with a feather, and the Israeli Air Force became the laughing stock of the whole world.

Even technicians at General Motors (the manufacturer of the F-16) have publicly stated that the F-16 is an excellent fighter, but to carry out such a long-range attack is beyond the limits of the fighter's performance.

At the same time, violating the airspace of a sovereign state is an act of naked aggression, and this time, even the United States, the biggest backstage boss, cannot pretend to be ignorant; in order to cooperate with public opinion, the US Congress issued a strongly worded condemnation report, terminating all technical assistance to the Israeli Air Force, including the second batch of F-16 fighters ordered by Israel, and postponing the delivery of all of them indefinitely.

Israel is not afraid, because the Jewish forces in the United States will soon be mobilized, and it will not be long before this sanction becomes a waste of paper.

However, Israel still had to give the world an explanation, so Avery took all the blame for the Israeli Air Force, resigned voluntarily, and took all the responsibility this time.

Within Israel, there are also more and more voices opposing Prime Minister Begin, and the commander-in-chief behind this operation is Begin, who concealed the operation for the sake of secrecy, which only a few people know. This has invisibly offended many people, especially the right-wing Likud party.

Begin's life was difficult, but Mossad Director Hoffey's life was even worse.

After returning from the report of the only survivor of the Chisel Squad, the ace pilot Iftachi, the other party used the formation to make the last turn to check the landmark, and set up an ambush on the small lake, how could the other party know so clearly? There must be a mole!

Hofi led the Mossad to full speed to find out who sold the intelligence of the Israeli Air Force's sneak attack to Iraq, which is an act of treason!

He will never find this mole, because, there is no mole at all.

Zhang Feng, who has changed all this, is on his way to Basra at this moment.

Iraq's topography is like a trumpet, narrow in the west, bordering Jordan, Syria and Saudi Arabia in the northwest and southwest, Turkey in the north, and the long national border in the east all intersect with Iran.

According to the geographical relationship, Iraq is mainly divided into two parts, the southern military district, the base is set up in Basra west of the border line, mainly responsible for the attack on southern Iran, this force, has crossed the Shatt al-Arab, captured Khorramshahr, is besieging Abadan.

The defense of Abadan can be said to be a turning point, the strategy of Iraq's initial blitzkrieg was completely declared a failure, in Abadan, after more than a year of protracted attack, all morale was worn out, and Iran's military adjustment has been declared over, and it is about to begin to move to the counteroffensive stage.

Since then, the Iran-Iraq war has continued and entered the stage of eight years of fighting.

History, rewrite it from here! If the Abadan and Iranian counteroffensives fail and the Iraqi army conquers Abadan and takes the port of Khomeini, the course of the war will be rewritten.

Abadan is an important petroleum refining center in Iran, Khomeini Port, is the most modern port in Iran, located in the southwest of a small island in the northwest of the Persian Gulf in Musabal Bay, with a railway across the strait to Tehran and other inland areas in the north, about 80 kilometers away from the port of Abadan in a straight line in the west, and about 62 kilometers away from the Mashur oil port in the northeast.

The reason why Saddam Hussein sent troops to Iran may also be due to this, compared to Iran's long coastline: it occupies almost half of the Persian Gulf, and Iraq has only one estuary to the sea.

Located at the southern tip of Iraq, at the northern tip of the Persian Gulf and near the mouth of the Shatt al-Arab Gulf, the Faw Peninsula covers an area of only 850 square kilometers. It is simply Iraq's choke point to the Persian Gulf. In the event of an accident in France, Iraq would lose more than half of its oil export capacity.

Faou is also the center of Iraq's petrochemical industry, which has been frequented by the Iranian Air Force since the Iran-Iraq war.

When it comes to the Air Force, Zhang Feng regrets for a while, Iraq's military equipment, most of which comes from the Soviet Union, and the same is true for the Air Force, the main equipment of the Air Force, MiG-21 and MiG-23, are all products of the Soviet Union, and this kind of aircraft, and the F-14 of the Iranian Air Force are simply unilateral slaughter.

F-14 is the main equipment of the United States Navy, the ultimate swept wing fighter, belongs to the ranks of the third generation of fighters, although the MiG-23 is also a swept wing fighter, however, the wing can only be artificially maintained at a few angles, and F-14 is controlled by a computer, can be in any position, this is also the air force equipment idea of this era: air combat needs to have good low-speed hovering performance, the sweep angle of the wing must be small, and when flying at high speed, the sweep angle of the wing should be as large as possible to reduce drag.

The disadvantage of the variable sweep wing is the increase in the weight of the structure, and in later generations, the excellent aerodynamic layout can simplify the airframe structure, so the variable sweep wing eventually fades out of the sight of aircraft designers.

And the F-14 is even more powerful, that is, its electronics, the powerful AWG-9 radar.

This radar, which can detect enemy fighters at a distance of 160 kilometers, is superior in resolution compared to the MiG-25's fire control radar, which relies exclusively on increased power, and can even identify and track low-flying targets from the background of ground or sea clutter interference.

Combined with the Immortal Bird missile, which has a range of more than 100 kilometers, this is simply an invincible existence.

So, during the Iran-Iraq war, there was a scene where the ground was Iraqi and the sky was Iranian.

This situation was not until 1982, when Iraq introduced the French-made Mirage F1, combined with the advanced Matra R-530F missile, so that the Iraqi Air Force had a fighter capable of competing with the Iranian Air Force's American-made F-14.

The tactics of the two air forces are also different, and under the training of the dogmatic and rigid Soviet instructors, the Iraqi air force is accustomed to fighting under the guidance of ground-based radars, and there is no comparison with the Iranian air force trained in the United States with a tough style.

Therefore, after entering the Southern Military Region, we must first think about the issue of air defense of the troops.

Without air supremacy, we will not be able to win a modern high-tech war, and this is a bloody lesson; in the original Gulf War, Iraq's armed forces were completely defeated in the face of air raids by multinational forces.

Of course, it is useless to be anxious about all this, and the most important thing at the moment is to give the field troops the ability to defend themselves.

Let this dogmatic army learn to fight a modern war, this was Zhang Feng's original idea.

With this in mind, Zhang Feng entered Basra through Highway 6. (To be continued.) )
