Chapter Ninety-One: Rattlesnake Special Forces, Dispatched Again!
The F-5 Tiger fighter is also another fighter equipped by the Iranian Air Force, although there is one more model than the Ghost (the Ghost is the F-4), but it does not mean that its combat effectiveness is a grade higher than the Ghost.
The F-4 Phantom, a heavy two-seat twin-engine fighter of the U.S. Navy, is used to compete for air supremacy, and before the F-14 Tomcat was not put into service, it has always been the main fighter, and even the U.S. Air Force has purchased it in large quantities.
The F-5, on the other hand, is a light tactical fighter that became the main aircraft of the United States in arms dumping against its third world allies in the 70s of the 20th century, and the US Air Force itself is not equipped with it.
It can also be seen from its own weight that the ghost has an empty weight of 14 tons, an air combat take-off weight of 19 tons (including weapons and fuel), and a maximum take-off weight of 28 tons. And the Tiger, with an empty weight of only four and a half tons and a normal take-off weight of only 7 tons, is indeed a lightweight among fighters from this point of view, and it takes a small and flexible route, comparable to the MiG-21.
Therefore, the Iranian Air Force focuses on using two types of fighters, the Ghost and the Tomcat, but now, in the face of the defeat on the banks of the Karen River, Hassan has to let the second-line Tiger rush to support, yes, it's better than nothing.
Just when the Tiger fighters arranged in the second line were hurriedly making pre-flight preparations, hanging missiles, refueling, formulating flight routes, and having to carry out an in-flight refueling, after all, the external refueling was limited, and if the missiles were hung, they could not be hung with additional fuel tanks, and no one noticed that a large helicopter flew over the battlefield.
CH-47, Chinook, is flying in the direction of Abadan.
In the cabin, armed men in Iranian military uniforms sat against the side wall with serious expressions, checking their weapons and equipment.
"Captain, can we succeed this time?" A soldier asked cautiously.
"Nonsense, you coward, if you're afraid of death, go back to your 10th Panzer Division now." Marwan shouted.
"No, that's not what I meant, I mean, isn't our action a little too bold this time?"
"We are carrying out the orders of Commander Qusay, don't forget, who led our Sidewinder special forces to a brilliant victory in the Susangilde Marshes, our Commander Qusay, the commander is wise, we will definitely succeed this time." Marwan said.
"Hart, when you see Iranian GIs, don't be so scared that you pee your pants!" Hades said.
Hart blushed and didn't dare say anything more.
"Allah is above, and with the command of His Excellency Qusay, we will surely achieve victory." Marwan has admired Qusay so much.
This time, they carried out a special mission.
The last time he carried out a mission in the Susangilde marsh, although the Sidewinder special forces were a hit, they also suffered great losses, almost half of the soldiers were killed, and after returning to the military region, by the east wind of victory, by his own name, Zhang Feng added some recruits in a grand manner, these recruits are not ordinary recruits, they are all elites selected from various units of the Southern Military Region.
Some of the leaders of the troops welcomed him to choose people, this army will definitely be Qusay's personal guard in the future, and their own people will join his personal guard, so there is a relationship, and some of the army leaders do not want their elites to be transferred, but they are helpless, who dares to offend the chief of Qusay, who is in the limelight?
In this way, the Sidewinder special forces were expanded, and when they reached a hundred people, they were still divided into three squads, led by Warikh, Marwan and Zhang Feng himself.
Now, Marwan is taking this team, in a helicopter, ready to swagger into Abadan, and their mission is to occupy the Abadan political axe building and wipe out the Iranian mayor and others here.
Now, most of the Iranian troops in Abadan have gone out to pursue the "retreating" Iraqi army, and the emptiness of the city of Abadan is a good opportunity for them to attack.
What made their movement even more assured was this Chinook helicopter.
After Zhang Feng reluctantly drove the captured Chinogan back to Basra, Zhang Feng fell in love with this helicopter and took it for himself, and this time, it came in handy.
Using the Chinook with a squad of its own soldiers to occupy the opponent's political axe building, this can play the biggest role in confusing the surname, no one would have thought that the Iranian GIs brought in this Iranian Air Force Chinook are not their allies, but the special forces of the Iraqis.
Although there were few people, this combat mission was not very difficult, there were not many defenders left in the city, and after they occupied the political axe building, the second wave of teams, divided into three hind helicopters, would follow and provide them with support.
After that, the expanded 35th Panzer Division will arrive and enter Abadan to clear the remnants of the enemy.
Although the 35th Armored Division is still in the process of being reorganized, the personnel have just been fully equipped, and many people are not comfortable with weapons and equipment, and only the original team can get their hands on it, but if you want to occupy the important port of Abadan at the minimum cost, you have to take a dangerous move.
In later generations, there will be a decapitation operation, and this time, a special operation will be carried out with special forces to occupy Abadan as quickly as possible! Even if the opposing commander saw the danger and wanted to transfer troops to support Aladan, it was already too late.
At the mouth of the calm Shatt al-Arab and the Persian Gulf, no one noticed that two light patrol boats were heading in the direction of Aladan.
The splash from the propeller was churning on the water, there was no wind and waves, and the speedboat was very smooth.
At the bow of the speedboat, a man is holding a telescope, observing the port that is gradually becoming clearer.
Abadan, I'm coming! Warish thought silently in his heart.
Although Iraq is a large country in the Middle East, its territorial waters are very small, only about 12 nautical miles, and its coastline is only 52 kilometers. With the exception of the Faw Peninsula, the southernmost point of the territory, Iraq is a landlocked country.
Although the coastline is very short, the security of the Persian Gulf, as the most important oil transportation route, is extremely important, so President Saddam Hussein attaches great importance to the construction of the navy.
Although it attaches great importance to it, because of its own limitations, the Iraqi Navy is a coastal force, and it can even be said that it is a coast guard, except for being equipped with some missile boats and speedboats, the Iraqi Navy does not even have a decent frigate.
Although Saddam Hussein ordered six Assad-class corvettes with a full load displacement of 700 tons from Italy, as the Iran-Iraq war progressed, Iraq simply could not afford to pay, and the project was delayed.
Although the navy is small, Zhang Feng also decided to use the navy's projection capability to transport a squad of his own special operations team and a reserve infantry company in Basra, and their mission is to occupy the port of Abadan!
