Along Highway 6 next to the Shatt al-Arab, the 4th Panzer Division was moving rapidly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧

They were supposed to march on the banks of the river, and after receiving the order to speed up, the commander of the 4th Panzer Division, Ahmadi Avatar, immediately ordered the troops to drive onto Route 6.

Originally, it was necessary to tow heavy equipment to the border in tow trucks during this kind of march, but in the course of suppressing the rebellion in the north, the trailers equipped by the 4th Panzer Division had already participated in the task of transporting the equipment of other fraternal units to the north, and they remained in Mosul and did not return immediately.

Therefore, the 4th Panzer Division had to move to the south in tanks. BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles and various other vehicles are okay, but those T-72 main battle tanks in the armored division are definitely fuel-guzzling guys, so there are also logistics vehicles in the division that accompany the troops.

At Saleh Fort, the armored cluster refueled again, but the two refueling delays a lot, and in the face of the urgent battle ahead, Ahmadi finally made the decision to drive along the road.

Although all kinds of armored vehicles use rubber tracks, because after several years of use, some of the rubber pads have fallen off, so it will cause great damage to the road if it is directly on the road, or the equipment of the entire division is on the road. ≦≧

And the military situation was like fire, and they couldn't wait too long, so they had to drive the tank on the road and gallop quickly.

A T-72 tank drove up from the edge of the road on the side, and then, the left track stopped, the right track continued to turn, and the body came over, but on the left track edge of the road, there was immediately a noticeable squeezed asphalt on the road.

No matter how strong the road surface is, it can't withstand the toss of these big guys.

Then, the second, the third, they kept driving onto the highway and continued south.

Driving on the highway, in addition to the possibility of damaging the road surface, there is another one, that is, it is easy to be discovered by aircraft in the sky, so the division's four-barreled self-propelled anti-aircraft guns have been equipped in the process of walking, and they can carry out air defense operations at any time.

Although Iran's air force is exhausted, it still needs to prevent the possibility of encountering sporadic enemy aircraft.

The 4th Panzer Division could have reduced the casualties of the 42nd Division by arriving on the battlefield a minute earlier.

After Javri again took out one of the Iranians' tanks with a recoilless gun, his location was revealed. ≦≧

The Iranian armored cluster has received information that Iraqi infantry is threatening them with recoilless guns, so they are very vigilant.

Seeing the flames from the side, they immediately used machine guns to fire wildly at Javri's location.

Javri was shot several times and fell down unwillingly.

Such scenes are being played out everywhere.

"Division commander, our gunners have suffered heavy losses." In the division headquarters, a staff officer said. "However, the armored forces of the Iranians, still attacking."

"Turn up our bazookas too, we must stop the Iranian attack!" Division Commander Majid said firmly.

Looking at the division commander's order, the others knew that if anyone suggested retreating now, maybe the division commander would shoot him right now.

No matter what the cost of the entire division is, it is necessary to complete the tasks of the command!

The fighters of the 42nd Infantry Division, with their flesh and blood, resisted the enemy's armored torrent, they killed more than a dozen tanks and more than 20 armored vehicles, but they still could not delay the actions of the Iranian armored group. ≦≧

The bullets fired wildly from tanks and armored vehicles, allowing them to get within a thousand meters of the opponent, are dangerous, and only by hiding in the direction of the opponent's advance in advance can they have a chance to kill one, but they themselves will also be killed by the Iranians.

The casualties of the 42nd Division are getting bigger and bigger.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the advance of the Iranian armored group finally approached the perimeter of Aladan, where the 42nd Infantry Division and the 11th Special Brigade hastily constructed a defensive line.

The best way for infantry to fight against armored forces is to put the other side into the city and fight street battles, but the Iranians must not be allowed to enter Aladan, otherwise, a few tanks will shell it, the losses of the Abadan refinery will be huge, and Iraq's financial resources will be a large loss.

They can only wait on the periphery, hold on, even if they die to the last man, they must wait until their own reinforcements arrive!

Even the division commander Majid personally went to the defensive line to boost morale, and he knew that the greatest test for the 42nd Division had finally arrived. ≦≧

The land was dug into trenches, and they could go deep into the front line, hit the tanks with bazookas, and then retreat, but, due to time constraints, the trenches were not dug very deep and the distance was not long enough, and their battle would be fierce.

Looking at the shadows that appeared on the horizon, the soldiers of the 42nd Division just blushed, and the words of the reprimand from their superiors flashed in their minds. "In our rear, our Abadan, everything there was taken under the personal command of our great Lord Qusay, and that was the sign of our victory over Khomeini! Now, the hateful Persians are not willing to lose, they have always wanted to use the output ** against us, which is absolutely unacceptable to us! Take up your weapons, fight bravely, and don't disgrace Lord Qusay! ”

Your Excellency Qusay, in the Southern Military Region, it is a god-like existence, everyone knows that Your Excellency Qusay personally fought and experienced many dangers, even His Excellency Qusay can fight bravely without fear of sacrifice, and he should fight even if he is an ordinary Iraqi soldier!

When it comes to Qusay, all the people are burning with fire in their hearts, and they are high-spirited!

Although Majid was very resolute, he had already looked at his watch a few times, and the later the Fourth Panzer Division came, the more casualties his division would have. ≦≧

To say that he doesn't care about the lives of his subordinates is definitely not a qualified commander, but now, it's time for the bayonet to see red!

Looking at the torrent that came up, Majid knew that the worst battle was about to begin.

Even if you hit it to the end, even if you blow it up with explosives and blast it with grenades, you have to stick to it to the end!

Tanks, as the king of land warfare, are very imposing when they charge in groups, and if there is no resistance, they will crush the infantry mentally in terms of momentum alone.

Feeling a slight tremor from the ground, some of the recruits began to turn pale.

It is impossible for a person who goes to the battlefield for the first time to say that he is not afraid of death from his heart, and only veterans who have crawled back from the edge of life and death countless times will not take death seriously. The more afraid you are, the easier it is to die, on the contrary, if you are not afraid of death and move forward bravely, you may be able to survive.

Knowing that the advance was approaching the edge of Abadan, the commander of the Iranian armored forces, Mohammed, was so happy that he gave the order to speed up the troops.

Before dark, you can enter the city of Abadan!

At this moment, a situation happened that he did not expect, and his dream was completely shattered.

In the port of Khomeini, Iraq stationed a large group of helicopter gunships, and after receiving the order, they immediately hung up their bombs and prepared to take off.

However, time was still delayed, and when they completed their preparations and set off to attack the Iranian armored forces, the fighters of the Iranian Air Force flew in for the second time and engaged in a fierce air battle with their own fighters.

Helicopters could not compete with fixed-wing aircraft, and the Mi-24 helicopter formation had to reduce the altitude, fly from the ground at an ultra-low altitude, and rush to the battlefield.

On the pylons on both sides of the Mi-24, two UV-32-57 rocket launchers and two AT-2 "flyswatt" anti-tank missiles were mounted, which were typical of the combat equipment of the armored group.

Looking at the charge of hundreds of armored groups like locusts on the ground, the pilots of the Mi-24 helicopters began their hunting operation.

A Mi-24 flew to the outside of the flank of the armored unit at an ultra-low altitude, pulled it up violently, and then, lowering the nose of the aircraft, one rocket after another in the multiple rocket launchers on both sides, swooped straight over. Each rocket launcher contains 32 57mm rockets, and although these rockets cannot penetrate the front armor of the tank, there is a chance that they can be fired from a high altitude to hit the weak top of the tank.

However, against tanks, helicopter gunships still like to use anti-tank missiles, and the rockets just fired are against armored vehicles.

A dense rain of rockets in the sky, like a grim reaper, swooped down on the armored forces on the ground.

The thickness of the armor of the armored vehicle, at best, can withstand the fire of large-caliber rifle bullets, and it is very vulnerable to rocket attacks.

The armored vehicle, which was attacked by rockets, was immediately hit by a bullet and burst into flames.

At this time, Iran's armored forces reacted and were attacked by Iraqi helicopter gunships!

Suddenly, all the anti-aircraft fire, anti-aircraft machine guns on each vehicle, specialized self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, opened fire into the sky, and the scene was chaotic.

However, the Mi-24, with good maneuverability, kept dodging, and at the same time, launched the anti-tank missiles it carried.

The Iranian armored forces were embarrassed by this sudden appearance of helicopter gunships, however, their losses were not very large, because the number of helicopter gunships was too small.

Only eleven Mi-24s flew this time, and even if all the missiles hit the other side, they could only knock out about forty tanks, and they could not completely destroy the strength of the armored forces, not to mention that in such a fierce battle, the hit rate of the missiles would not exceed 50 percent.

Moreover, during the attack, one of the helicopters lost control and crashed to the ground due to an operational error, and two pilots were killed.

However, the entry of Mi-24 helicopters into the war delayed the movement of Iran's armored forces.
