Chapter 422: Protecting Ahvash

A 69 tank, slowly marching on the plains east of Ahvaz, although this tank is the same as the 69 exported by China in appearance, with a round turret, five load-bearing wheels, and increased side skirts, but if you look closely, there are still many differences.

In the tail section of the tank, an additional round thing was added, which was an additional fuel tank. The smoke device of the artillery, which is also not at the muzzle, and the location of the sighting equipment is very different, this is a modified Type 69 tank of the Southern Military District of Iraq, equipped in the 60th Panzer Division.

The 60th Armored Division is also an armored division with 69 tanks, and its combat effectiveness in the Southern Military Region can be said to be second only to the 35th Ace Division, which is the starting force of His Excellency Qusay. However, now among the 35th Division, the Duli Armored Regiment, which has the most powerful combat effectiveness, has been transferred to the north, so it can be said that in the current Southern Military Region, the 60th Armored Division is a well-known force.

However, their defensive task is also the most important, not only the city of Ahvaz, but also the large oil fields around Ahvaz are their defense areas, and here are surrounded by plains, there is no danger to defend, the soldiers of the 96th Infantry Brigade can not hold it at all by relying on fortifications alone, so they have repeatedly defeated the attacks of the Iranians by using infantry to build fortifications, plus armored troops to patrol non-stop, and move quickly. ≦≧

However, the Iranians are very cunning, after they have tried a few times, they no longer attack on a large scale, but take advantage of the shortcomings of the defenders' vast defensive area and insufficient troops, attacking everywhere, and hitting and running when they encounter a well-defended area, and if they encounter a weakly defended area, then the sāo disturbance will turn into a formal attack, and before the reinforcements arrive, they have eliminated the defenders, and then quickly retreat, this tactic, so that the defenders, who are more numerous than the Iranians, are somewhat exhausted.

Although the 60th Armored Division and the 96th Infantry Brigade were guarding Ahvaz, they had to divide a part of their forces to defend the city, and the area of the oil field was so vast that their forces were also stretched, so when the Iranian armored group was quickly interspersed with attacks, they could not divide their forces to deal with this army, because the oil field they defended was also very important, and they had no spare strength under the containment of the Iranian troops.

Iran did its best to deal with the Southern Military Region, and the cooperation of the Air Force and the Army really made it difficult for the Southern Military Region to parry. ≦≧

Otherwise, although the 60th Armored Division is also equipped with 69 tanks, and the Iranian attacking force is also 69 tanks, 69 and 69 are different, and they are equipped with Western fire control systems and main guns, which have considerable tactical advantages in dealing with the 69 tanks of the Iranians, especially at night, and the advantages of infrared imaging and sighting equipment are even more obvious.

There were a few stars in the sky, it was not very dark all around, the weeds were blowing in the majestic wind, making a rattling sound, and in a weed-filled puddle, several Iranian soldiers were hiding inside the puddle.

The 69 tank was maintaining a high level of jingxing, and as it moved slowly, the turret kept moving in all directions, scanning everything around, and the commander's eyes were fixed on the infrared imaging sighting equipment, observing everything outside, and this was their defense zone, and they had to make sure that there was no Iranian movement here, especially at night.

The ubiquitous Iranians always like to engage in sneak attacks and sabotage at such times, and they cannot let the Iranians succeed.

It's the end of the chun, the day has begun to get very hot, but the night will still be very cool, because the speed of heat absorption and heat release of different objects is different, so, the infrared rays they release are different, in the night vision device, this is very clear, those that are a little shiny, are stones, those that are dark, are the land, if there are people, because the temperature of the human body is much higher than the surrounding environment, so it is easy to be searched by them, even if the other party is hiding in the grass, it will be found. ≦≧

It was more beneficial to them at night than during the day, and they had already used this method to eliminate the Iranians several times, and the commander was a little excited when he remembered that the machine gun bullets had killed all the Iranians who had sneaked up.

The tank rumbled past, everything was normal here, nothing was found.

Listening to the sound of the tanks walking by, the Iranian soldiers in the puddle suddenly stood up from the water, their whole body was **, and their lips were a little purple, but only in this way could they avoid the Iraqi tanks, and after their bodies were immersed in the water, the water covered the temperature of their bodies and deceived the other party's night vision device.

Two of the fighters had two more bazookas on their shoulders, and two of them were aiming quickly, and after a few seconds, they pulled the trigger, and after a burst of fire, two rockets, one in front of the other, flew towards the tank. ≦≧

When they were aiming, they planned to strike at the front and the back separately, so that no matter whether the other side noticed it or not, they could not dodge one of the rockets.

The fire of the rocket shè brightens the background, although the infrared imaging night vision device is not directly aimed at here, the commander in the 69 tank also knows that the situation is not good, there is a sneak attack by the Iranians!

"Quick, accelerate!" The captain shouted. To dodge a rocket attack, you are to maneuver immediately, and immediately before the rocket arrives, the opponent's expected hit point.

The area that was scanned just now is clearly safe, but where did the Iranians come from?

Hearing the order of the commander, the driver also knew that the situation was critical, he immediately stepped on the accelerator and hung up the high-grade.

The tank is like a hungry lion pounced, suddenly increased its speed, countless black smoke, coming out of the rear exhaust pipe, and faintly heard the collision sound of the gears in the gearbox when they combined with each other, the tank from China, no other advantages, is durable!

Very lucky, due to the rapid acceleration, they aimed at the rocket behind them, did not hit the target, and the tank had already left there. ≦≧

The rocket, which was originally aimed at the front, also deviated from the original impact point, and shè went backwards.

This is also expected, the reason why they use two rockets to hit together is to make the opponent's tank whether it is accelerating or braking, one rocket will hit.

If it is the front armor that is shè, then, since the front armor of the 69 tank is relatively thick, it is not a problem to get hit by a rocket, however, the rear one is not good.

The rear armor was the thinnest, moreover, the engine was covered underneath, and there was ammunition in front of the engine, and as long as it hit, it was an explosion in a fire.

The tankmen in the body of the car heard a crisp crash, very violently, and suddenly, they were all stunned, perhaps, the next moment, they would feel a stream of metal heat through and ignite those shells around them, and no matter how much there was a fire extinguishing system, it would not be able to withstand this impact.

The rocket uses a shaped warhead, which makes the high explosive into a concave shape, and the energy of the explosion is concentrated at one point due to the "concentrated energy effect" when detonated, and the metal shell of the rocket is forged into a metal fluid with extremely high temperature and pressure, so as to break through the armor, kill and injure the personnel in it, and destroy the equipment in it.

They are waiting for the last moment to come, even the driver, let go of the accelerator, they are all hit, what to run?

The rocket hit the tank accurately, and began its final blow, its focused warhead, ready to drill through the opponent's armor.

However, it has not yet exerted its strength, but it has found that it has completely penetrated the armor? Is the opponent's armor so thin?

If the rocket had intelligence, then it would have regretted that it had just failed to see the target, and it did not hit the armor of the tank, but the additional fuel tank in the back!

There was no fuel in the additional tank for a long time, so, hit by a rocket, safe and sound, this is definitely a coincidence, it is absolutely Allah Almighty who is bless the righteous Iraqi army!

The tankers in the car found that they were safe and unharmed, and immediately began to counterattack, rotating the turret, and the 7.62 mm bullets of the machine guns were side-by-side, and they kept spraying tongues of fire, which sent sparks flying at the place where the shè rockets had just been fired, and several Iranian soldiers all fell.

Skirmishes, which were constantly staged on several battlefields, Ahvaz, Puerto Khomeini, Bakhtaran.

Abadan is very important, it is the main petrochemical base in Iraq, and Ahvaz is also very important, the oil fields near Ahvaz are the place where Abadan provides a stable source of crude oil, and the Abadan refinery can start production at full speed, and it can continue to create profits.

Therefore, the garrison in Ahvaz has always been on the defensive, and has not launched a counteroffensive, and they have kept countering the sāo harassment of the Iranians, but it has not had much effect.

However, the situation finally began to change, and as the battle progressed, with the timely arrival of the 4th Panzer Division in Abadan, which completely annihilated the Iranian attacking forces, the Iraqi counteroffensive on all fronts slowly began.

Instructions have already been sent from Baghdad: attack on all fronts, completely drive the Iranians out of the plains, the troops must occupy the eastern mountains, and the defensive line must also move forward, and the Iranians can no longer be allowed to engage in such tricks of attacking from the mountains.

After being harassed by the Sāo for so many days, the 60th Panzer Division was finally able to raise its eyebrows, and with the victory of the 4th Panzer Division, after the 4th Panzer Division advanced to the area around the port of Ahvaz-Khomeini, the defenders of the port of Khomeini and Ahvaz were finally able to free up their hands to completely clear the Iranian army that was harassing the Sāo.

What they are waiting for now is the arrival of the Fourth Panzer Division, and the Iranians who are sneaking up on them around them will be arrogant for a few more days, and they won't be able to jump for a few days anyway.
