"General, we must immediately send troops to support the port of Khomeini!" The adjutant said.

Hashmian frowned: "It's not that we don't want to support, but before we understand the intentions of the Iraqi army, our army should not act rashly, otherwise, if we go to support, Ahvaz will be empty, if the Iraqis take advantage of the situation, what will we do here?" ”

"General, the Iraqis are attacking on such a large scale, and the main direction of their attack is the port of Khomeini, which is our largest port in the southwest, and if this port falls, our economy will suffer greatly, and it is definitely not something we can afford." "And here, far from the main forces of the Iraqis, as long as we keep a close watch, there should be no problem," the adjutant said. ”

"The port of Khomeini is important, and it is important here, and if it is lost, our north-south communication artery will be cut off, and it is definitely not something we can afford." Hashmian said.

Everyone was speechless, in fact, they also knew, but they knew even more that if Ahvaz was lost, they could take it back, and if the port of Khomeini was lost, they would probably not even have a chance to take it back, and they would be thrown into prison, which was a port named after the great spiritual leader, and it would be a great insult to the leader to take it away by the Iraqis.

The symbolism of that port is far greater than its actual meaning.

Everyone knows this, but do they want to convince the stubborn Lieutenant General Hashmian to agree? Everyone sweated in their hearts.

"Report." Suddenly, the voice of a telegraph operator was heard outside.

"Come in."

"A call came from the rear, the 65th Armored Brigade stationed in Dizful has set off quickly, hoping that we can provide them with supplies and let them complete the mission to rescue the port of Khomeini."

Dizzy Fuller? Hashmian asked, "Who gave them the task?" They are there, they will face the Iraqi army in Amara, they are strategic reserves, who sent them to rescue the port of Khomeini? ”

Hazfula is north of Ahvaz, and although there is no fighting there, it is becoming more and more obvious that the Iraqi army is preparing to fully blossom on the border, so what is the use of their heavy task, and even if they rush to help, it will take two or three days to arrive?

"The call didn't say it, but being able to mobilize this force must be the top meaning." The telegraph soldier said.

Hashmian was silent, he knew that although Khomeini handed over this force to himself, he did not fully trust himself, otherwise, how could he let a shameless person like Tahe investigate him?

And now, Khomeini did not give the order to his own army, but transferred troops stationed elsewhere from hundreds of miles away, which could not be more obvious. If he doesn't send troops to the rescue, it means that he must have a second heart!

However, can you send troops yourself? He has become more and more convinced that Iraq's dazzling layout must have a deeper purpose, and if he rashly goes out to rescue, he is afraid that it will be useless, and if he is not careful, he will be ambushed by the other side.

However, if the troops are not dispatched, then, when the 65 Armored Brigade comes here and asks for supplies for them, I am afraid that this commander of his own will also do it.

Until now, the cause of the air base attack by the other side is still under investigation, and all kinds of evidence show that Iraq has a new means of electronic jamming that has successfully jammed the radar of the air base, resulting in the base being bombed without any defense, and causing heavy damage.

Will they use the same tactics against the port of Khomeini?

After several transfers, the armored forces guarding the port of Khomeini remained, with only about two dozen tanks left, and they were simply not able to deal with the flood of steel in Iraq, but there was also a base for helicopter gunships in the port of Khomeini, where a large group of Cobra gunships was stationed.

Hashmian thought about it repeatedly, and finally made up his mind: the defenders of Ahvaz, all the assault forces, including more than thirty tanks, forty or so armored vehicles, plus more than a hundred off-road trucks, transport half of the army, two thousand people, and wait until the 65 armored brigade arrives, and go together to support the port of Khomeini!

At the same time, let the helicopter gunships in the port of Khomeini set off to block the Iraqi army's journey, so as to delay the arrival of its own reinforcements as long as possible.

If you really want to attack the port of Khomeini, it will require a coordinated operation of air and ground, and in the current situation, it is not a good opportunity to attack the port of Khomeini! Zhang Feng looked at the large-scale map, so far, the first phase of the Spring Thunder operation has been completed.

First of all, concentrate all the air force superiority, and take out the Iranian air force in Ahvaz, which poses the greatest threat to itself, at once, so that in a short period of time, there is almost no need to consider the threat of the Iranian air force, and as for the air force when reporting the results of the battle, it happened to kill an Iranian transport plane, which is an unexpected gain.

Then, while protecting itself, the 35th Panzer Division began to storm the city in a big way, marching towards the port of Khomeini.

There can be mistakes everywhere, but not in Khomeini Port!

Therefore, the defenders of Ahvaz will definitely send troops to help, so they will set up an ambush in the middle and kill his reinforcements, and this task will be carried out by the 10th Panzer Division.

And now, the intelligence officers who were ambushed in Ahvaz have sent back the news that the Iranian army, as expected, is showing signs of a large-scale sortie, and moreover, there is actually a tank unit in Dizful, further north!

Encirclement and reinforcement, this is a tactic invented by the great Chinese [***] team during the Anti-Japanese War, and now it has been used by Zhang Feng.

However, Zhang Feng still has a follow-up move.

Encircling and sending reinforcements is only half of it.

When the reinforcements are gone, Ahvaz is empty, and take advantage of this opportunity to solve Ahvaz in one fell swoop and open up the north-south passage!

In order to achieve this goal, Zhang Feng's special forces also began to operate, and the task they carried out this time was called the decapitation operation.

Although the Ahvaz army went out to help, but not all the troops are gone, and some will definitely remain, in order to hit the morale of the other party and break their resistance, Zhang Feng let his special forces dig out the other party's headquarters!

An army without a command apparatus is like a fly without a head, and they will fall into a situation where they will fight on their own, and they will be easily broken by the attackers individually.

After solving Ahvaz, occupying the oil field next to Ahvaz is Zhang Feng's ultimate goal, and fighting a war is not to fight for victory or defeat, but to take away real benefits
