Chapter 101: Great Victory
When Ali's armored troops surrounded and suppressed the Iranian reinforcements, the division commander Mohammed was not idle, he led other chariots, bypassing the area where they were engaged, the task of the 35th Division was to completely occupy Abbataan, and could not leave all the troops here to fight with the Iranians, besides, Ali's troops had achieved absolute superiority and did not need the support of other armies.
Tanks, armored vehicles, one after the other, rounded the battlefield and then moved forward.
Ali got the news that he had captured a high-ranking officer of the other side, and judging from his uniform, he was a lieutenant general, and he felt that his luck was extremely good.
The Iran-Iraq war has been fought for more than a year, and there has not been a single capture of the opposing party's senior generals, and this time, he is famous.
What is the concept of a lieutenant general? In the Southern Military District, only the head of the military district, Izat Ibrahim, has the rank of lieutenant general.
Even the lieutenant general personally led the team and set off to support Abadan, it seems that Abadan, who is indeed very empty, Ali held his big belly, opened the hatch of the tank, and looked at the night, at this time, the outside was already a little bright, and the east appeared with a white belly, and the sky was about to dawn.
On the banks of the Karen River, the battle to encircle and annihilate the remnants of the Iranian army has also begun, and everyone knows that the defeat of the Iranians is doomed, their heavy equipment has been blown up, and there are no reinforcements, they have lost contact with their superiors, and tens of thousands of troops were wiped out by nearly half of them yesterday, and those who are lucky enough to die have lost their fighting spirit.
When Iraqi tanks and armored vehicles surrounded them, the rest of the people, with fear in their eyes, could wipe them out without firing shells, even the machine guns of armored vehicles.
Although there were anti-tank grenades, there were also bazookas, but that was only a struggle before dying.
After a short exchange of fire, the remaining Iranian soldiers chose to surrender.
Surrender is shameful, however, only surrender can be the only way out, and at this time, the fight to the death has lost its value.
In the headquarters, I heard a report from the front that nearly 10,000 Iranian soldiers had disarmed and surrendered!
Suddenly, there was cheers in the headquarters.
In this war, the shock forces that Iran had just gathered were all wiped out by them on the banks of the Karon River, which means that from now on, at least half a year, Iran will no longer be able to launch such a major offensive operation, and the Iraqi army will firmly grasp the initiative in the occupied land.
"Qusay, this time you were able to encircle and annihilate the Iranian army, your command is very good." Izzat said approvingly.
"The ability to eliminate the Persians this time is the result of the joint efforts of all our commanders and soldiers of the Southern Military District." Zhang Feng said: "Our air force, first of all, in the bombing on the banks of the Karon River, has completely disabled the opponent's offensive capability, otherwise, last night, the other side will definitely choose to break through, and several of our land forces, successfully completed their combat missions, especially the 10th Armored Division, paid great sacrifices, lured the Iranian army to the Karen River, each unit, has made a contribution, and these victories are inseparable from the efforts of the staff officers of our military district headquarters." ”
After Zhang Feng finished speaking, all the people were full of gratitude to Zhang Feng, never arrogant, and always united all the people around him, His Excellency the Second Young Master Kusai, and the arrogant and arrogant young master Wudai, they are really two types of people!
Izzat looked at Qusay, his eyes were already showing joy, this battle once again showed that Qusay has excellent command talent, and his future development will be limitless.
However, in the middle, I am afraid that there is also a hidden crisis, will the eldest young master in Baghdad watch Qusay make great achievements?
Zhang Feng knew that his victory in this battle was actually just the use of some ordinary tactics, which was more than enough to deal with the Iranian army, and if he faced the US army, it would definitely not work.
The Juche idea is pocket warfare, and this method of warfare can be traced back to the Chinese battlefield in World War II, and this mode of warfare of closing the door and beating dogs is a tactic commonly used by the people's army. Concentrate superior forces, and then use the mobility advantage of armored forces to trap the opponent, first use the air force to eliminate the opponent's combat potential, and then, the infantry only needs to finish.
However, this mode of warfare can only be applied to the Iran-Iraq battlefield where high-tech weapons are used to fight low-tech wars. Modern warfare is dominated by information, winning by firepower, striking at nodes, and breaking the system, and a certain new weapon is not the secret to the final victory, giving full play to the advantages of the system, and exchanging a small price for a big victory.
However, this battle fully illustrates the importance of the Air Force, if it were not for the Air Force to wipe out Iran's tank forces, the other side would still have a strong counterattack force.
Zhang Feng knew that the frontal battlefield had ended the battle, and the most important thing now, and what he was most worried about, was whether Abadan could be taken intact.
At the same time that Ali captured the Iranian lieutenant general, Mohammed's 35th division was already approaching Abadan.
Street fighting in the city, even for the crew sitting inside a heavy tank, is definitely not an easy task.
Although the tank armor is thick, it cannot all be the same thickness, and the thickest part of the tank is the front armor, because the mission of the tank is to attack, the side is second, and the rear is the weakest. In the field decisive battle, due to the wide field of vision, the distance between the two sides is very long, and they are fighting together in groups, so the surname of the person who was hit on the side is not very large.
And in the city, it is different, the city is full of buildings, even if it is a public toilet on the side of the road, it may hide the enemy, and the buildings on both sides of the road are very suitable for the infantry to hide, and the vision inside the tank is not as wide as that of ordinary vehicles, coupled with the complex environment everywhere, the tank can not play an important role in the city at all, on the contrary, from somewhere, a puff of rocket smoke appears, and no matter how thick the armor is, it will be destroyed from the weak point.
Therefore, when entering the city, it is absolutely impossible to let the tank completely act as the main force, and the infantry in the armored vehicles in the rear run forward, mingle around the tank, and grope forward.
The infantry is equivalent to giving the tank many more pairs of eyes, and the tank gives the infantry a strong firepower backing.
As soon as the enemy infantry is detected, the infantry immediately raises the alarm, and at the same time, destroys the opponent, if the opponent is hiding in the building, then, the tank is ready, a grenade passes, and the opponent can be wiped out immediately, this is the normal way of playing.
For more than a year under siege, Iran has been preparing for street fighting, which has made Mohammed wary.
At the front, the main force composed of captured chieftain tanks, accompanied by the tanks, a large number of infantry, vigilantly searching around.
Just now, when passing through the block, I encountered a few scattered Iranian soldiers, and before they could react, they were beaten into a sieve by frantic fire.
The chieftain tanks were slowly advancing, and it took them two hours to finally reach the Municipal Axe Building, where they were surprised to find that the Iraqi flag was already flying on the flagpole in front of the building.
The national flag is a parallel red-white-black tricolor with three green five-pointed stars in the center. Red symbolizes courage and boldness, white shows the broad-mindedness of Iraqis, black is a celebration of victory, and green is the color of Islamic tradition. The three stars represent the three tenets of the Baath Socialist Party: unity, freedom, and socialism.
"Thirty-fifth Division, you're too late." Marwan stood on the political axe building, looked at the large number of armored troops coming, and said lightly.
ps: There is still no recommendation next week, and the hero of East China is still insisting, because, at the same time of the code word, there is a group of readers who like to watch the Babylon Empire, so that the hero of East China is full of confidence, tomorrow is Saturday, if possible, or three more!
