The improved 69 tanks, driven from the tank overhaul plant, were first transported to the garrison of the 10th Panzer Division.

In the last battle to take Abadan, the 10th Panzer Division undertook the most frantic two-sided attack, so they suffered heavy losses, and after the battle, the 10th Panzer Division went to rest.

Because Zhang Feng's ace 35th Armored Division is not very well equipped, the replenishment of the 10th Armored Division is not in place, and they have been resting.

This time, with the new equipment, Zhang Feng decided to replenish it to the 10th Armored Division first, they have been holding back for several months, and the awareness of seeking war is very strong.

Kalmar, the commander of the 10th Division, was very excited at first when he got the news that he was going to replenish his equipment, but when he learned that the Type 69 tanks were being replenished, he began to be less happy.

What everyone wants is the current trump card equipment of Iraq, the T-72 tank.

However, when Elard performed at the range of the 10th Panzer Division, Kalmar immediately changed his opinion.

If you can hit the opponent at a long distance, if the process of shooting becomes so simple, if you have powerful night vision equipment, what is the name of this tank, where does it come from, and what does it matter?

What Kalmar values most is the tank's ability to fight at night, when you see a thousand meters away from the infrared imaging system, it is still so clear, when you see the infrared headlights, in the infrared night vision system, it is like a silly boy with a flashlight in the dark night, Kalmar is already happy to close his mouth.

What is it? This is simply equipment that can beat the Iranians all over the ground in the dark of night!

The Type 69 tank has been improved, there has been a fundamental change, the maneuverability and protection have not increased, but the firepower has completely changed. Even the most powerful chieftain against the Iranians remained outstanding.

It's just that the extra fuel tank in the back makes the tank crew a little scared, but when he learns that the external fuel tank burns first, and after arriving in the war zone, the fuel tank is almost empty, the tank crew begins to accept it.

Everyone's life is life, no one wants to be by their side, there is a large incendiary bomb at any time.

With the 69 tank, Zhang Feng also added many veterans from the 35th Division to the 10th Armored Division.

Because the fire control system of the 69 tank is relatively advanced, it is difficult for the officers and men of the 10th Armored Division to master this fire control system, and the 35th Armored Division has been able to use the T-62 fire control system under the guidance of Elard, and it is no longer relying on experience to visually aim, so with a little training for these people, they can adapt to the fire control system from Germany. Then rely on teaching and helping to get those armored soldiers of the 10th Armored Division to do it, so that they can be proficient in this fire control system.

Of course, it is not known whether Zhang Feng has other purposes, the 35th Division is Zhang Feng's starting force, and everyone here is completely loyal to him, and part of the officers and soldiers of the 35th Division are placed in the 10th Armored Division, although the 10th Armored Division is also very loyal, but in this way, it is more secure. But looking at Zhang Feng's simple face, he shouldn't have so much heart, right?

The other one, on the other hand, is not so happy.

Armored Ali.

Ali dragged his fat belly, I don't know how many times he had looked for Zhang Feng, his purpose was very clear: to change the fire control system of the T-72 tank of his armored regiment to that kind of infrared imaging, since he carried out night observation and shooting in 69, he no longer wanted to use the infrared headlights of the T-72.

At night, if you meet 69, it's simply looking for death! How did the tanks from the USSR come and still be such idiots?

For some reason, His Excellency Qusay always disagreed with his requests.

Zhang Feng has his own considerations, so far, the T-72 is still the most advanced tank in Iraq, even if you look at the whole world, the Western camp is still very afraid of the rolling Soviet steel torrent. There is a lot of fear for this tank.

Only Zhang Feng knows that this simplified version of the T-72 is okay to fight with the Iranians, and if there is a collision with the West one day, the T-72 will not have the power to fight back at all.

Now that composite armor has begun to become popular, the armor of the T-72 is actually filled with a layer of quartz sand between two layers of steel plates! Although the caliber of the artillery is 125 mm, it is not as powerful as the 120 mm caliber artillery of the West, and the backward fire control system cannot be compared with the West.

So far, Youanli was only ordered to modify the 69 tank, and when the 69 modification is completed, you can take part of the T-62 with you, but the T-72 is still exempt.

Moreover, if it is modified, it is a full set, and only one infrared imaging night vision device is modified, will it be compatible with other fire control systems in the USSR? If all the fire control systems are changed, then the ballistic characteristics of the 125 mm caliber gun of the T-72 are different from the 105 mm caliber gun of the L7, so should the barrel be replaced with a 105 mm caliber one? Is it necessary to let the Germans led by Juanli master the surname of this 125 mm caliber gun? The Red Empire of the North, don't go crazy yet!

For many reasons, Zhang Feng did not agree to Ali's request, but Zhang Feng agreed to Ali's other condition, when the new main battle tank was put into production, his tank regiment would first be reequipped!

Although the new main battle tank has not yet appeared, however, His Excellency Qusay has acted very quickly, and it is said that the F-20 fighter will be able to provide a low-speed production model in a few months, and this main battle tank should not make itself wait too long, right?

Ali dragged his fat body and finally let his new boss go from the stalking.

Zhang Feng looked at Ali's back, but he didn't expect to draw a pie for him, so he fed him, the new tank, it seems that it is still far away!

Back at the headquarters, Izzat and the others were still nervously making battle plans.

"At the moment our assault forces, mainly the 35th Panzer Division stationed in Abadan, the 10th Panzer Division stationed in Hamid and the 60th Panzer Division stationed in Huzgan, we attack at the same time, these three Panzer Divisions, go hand in hand, advance to the east, if the situation goes well, should be able to advance fifty to one hundred kilometers a day, at most ten days, to advance to the port of Ahvaz and Khomeini, of which the 10th Panzer Division and the 60th Panzer Division surround Abadan, and the 35th Panzer Division besieges the port of Khomeini. The rear relied mainly on the 42nd Infantry Division to defend the key points, the 11th Special Brigade and the 96th Infantry Brigade followed the armored forces in the north, occupied the captured area, as well as followed the siege of Ahvaz, and the 72nd Infantry Division followed the 35th Panzer Division, preparing for the siege of the port of Khomeini. Chief of Staff Fateh said.

This battle plan can give full play to the tank cluster that can supreme the maneuver of one's own side, and the army's training in this area is the most sufficient, and the huge tank force charges, that kind of scene, is very spectacular. For several months, the General Staff had been planning, and even the advance of each company had been deduced.

This group of guys is still deeply influenced by the Red Empire in the north, so the tank group can charge and win? This is also called battle planning? Zhang Feng was quite unimpressed.

Seeing Zhang Feng's unhappy face, Izzat asked, "Cusay, is there anything inappropriate?" ”

"The meaning of the General Staff is to let all our armored units be exposed to the plains where there is no danger to defend, and then, in a neat formation, advance?" Zhang Feng asked.

"Well, that's right." Fatt said.

"So, what if there are Iranian planes in the sky?" Zhang Feng asked.

"Recently, the Iranian planes have rarely come out to move, and we estimate that their fighters have long been unable to take off due to a shortage of parts, right?" A staff officer said.

"Estimated? We are formulating a plan of action, and we absolutely cannot estimate that if the armored forces are advancing and the Iranian aircraft group carries out air strikes, then if we are unlucky, it is possible that the armored forces will be completely wiped out. Zhang Feng said.

Although the Mirage F1 has been supplemented, however, Abadan must not be missed, so the Mirage F1 is mainly to cruise over Abadan to prevent the tough Iranian Air Force from sneaking attacks. And other fighters, MiG-23, MiG-21, can not take advantage of the Tomcat, so the armored troops, as long as there are two Tomcats to escort the troops, Iranian F-4, F-5 hanging bombs, can seriously threaten the armored forces.

Thinking of later generations, until the nineties, when military exercises were conducted, many Chinese [***] people still liked this Soviet-style group charge, and as a result, they were defeated in front of the Blue Army. The command of military personnel must keep pace with the times and absolutely must not stick to the old ways.

Although the Iranian warplanes have now stopped, who knows if they are waiting for the next moment of explosion?

Pinning the hopes of victory on speculation is absolutely wrong! At no time, don't underestimate your opponents!

It would be nice if the F-20 arrived, the F-20 with Sparrow air-to-air missiles and a powerful radar would definitely be able to compete with the Tomcats of the Iranians!

However, there is another way to solve the problem, since there is no way to compete with them in the air, then, on the ground, kill the eagle of the Iranians! If the air base in Ahvaz is destroyed, then the Iranian air force will have to take off from the airfield farther away if it wants to support.

And your own armored forces should not use this blatant advance plan, surprise attack, in order to have a miraculous effect!

In Zhang Feng's mind, a bold idea has gradually formed.

According to the plan set by the command, Ahvaz was besieged, but if he wanted to take this transportation artery, he was afraid that he would have to engage in brutal street battles, and in the struggle with the Iranians for an inch of land, blood would flow like a river.

Can you do it again last time when you lure the snake out of the hole?

Zhang Feng knew that it was enough to use the trick once, and if he used it a second time, he was afraid that it would fail, and no one would be fooled if the wolf came and shouted the third time.

Still, there's that place, and even if they know they're going to be fooled, they don't have a choice.

Pretending to besiege the port of Khomeini, Ahvaz's army will have to go out, and when the time comes, destroy them outside! Even if the commander of the opposing party knew it was a trap, they would have to jump down, because it was a port named after their spiritual leader, Ayatollah Khomeini!
