"Quick, must be fast!" At this moment, Hassan was very nervous.

The fate of the tens of thousands of troops who were besieged at the moment was no longer as tense as the situation in Abadan, and now, the defenders of Abadan were already in a state of uncontact, were they asleep? If so, he would have to shoot a few of the soldiers who were sleeping on duty, and if not, he would be in big trouble.

Abadan occupies an important position, Abadan is on the main transportation route, and if the Iraqis take Abadan, then further east, the port named after the great leader: the port of Khomeini, will be in danger. Abadan is an important oil refining base for Iran, and if Abadan is taken by Iraq, Iran will lose 60 percent of its refining capacity. You must know that the profit from exporting ten barrels of crude oil is worth the profit of one barrel of refined oil, and the worst possibility is to blow up the oil refining equipment when the Iraqis attack.

What the Iranians can't get, and they must not cheapen the Iraqis!

Hassan still has a glimmer of hope that things won't be so bad.

A couple of Chieftain tanks at the head, American-made M113 armored vehicles in the back, interspersed with off-road trucks, and the last and only reserve, Hassan's guard battalion, plus all sorts of people who could take up arms, were rushing towards Abadan.

None of them knew that the other side's army was reinforcing in the direction of Aladan, and if Hassan could go first, as long as the internal enemy was cleared out and held out for two days, reinforcements would arrive, and at that time, even if Iraq captured Abadan, it would have to pay a great price, and Iran would never be left behind in the street battles in the city.

And if the 35th Armored Division can arrive first, then, with the strength of their division, they will be able to firmly hold Abadan, and Abadan, which has been surrounded for more than a year, will be in the hands of Iraq, and this credit will be handed over to the 35th Division, which is a great honor.

In terms of distance, Hassan was located closer to Abadan, but his movement was relatively slow, not as early as the 35th Division, and the 35th Division moved very quickly and resolutely, especially the Reading Panzer Regiment led by Ali in front.

Night, dark night sky, not a single star, everything, in silence.

Suddenly, there was a rumbling roar in the distance, and without warning, a torrent of steel rolled in.

Forward, forward, twenty miles away, you can reach Abbataan, Ali rubbed his sour arm, and felt a little proud in his heart, those of his colleagues were all looking forward to Baghdad to see through, where could he have such a majesty.

"Reconnaissance vehicle No. 1 reported that an unknown army was found ahead, on my left, at a distance of three kilometers, also moving in the direction of Abadan." Suddenly, a voice came over the radio.

In this high-speed march in the dark night, Ali did not forget to be vigilant, and several fast-moving infantry fighting vehicles, acting as armored reconnaissance vehicles, were on guard in front and on the sides.

This cautious approach allowed Ali to gain valuable preparation time.

It turns out that the Iranians have found out! Ali thought to himself, this unknown army must be Iranians, who went to reinforce Abadan, but he didn't expect to let himself run into it.

Originally, I was afraid that there would be no battle to fight, if the troops who entered in the early stage had already wiped out all the remaining defenders of Abadan, and they would only receive an empty city, after all, it was not very glorious, but now that they have encountered reinforcements from the Iranians, they are finally relieved.

Soldiers are born to fight! Ali immediately took the radio and began to issue combat orders: "Armored battalion, four armored companies, arranged in a fan shape, Iranians are spotted in front, three kilometers away, use night vision devices, turn on the fire control system, and be ready to receive fire at any time. ”

Ali's armored regiment consisted of 48 T-72 tanks in 4 tank companies, and these powerful tanks armed with 125mm smoothbore guns were the most desired by the Iranian chieftain tanks.

Hearing the order, the tank company quickly turned around from the high-speed march just now, turned on the ballistic computer, warmed up various systems, and the automatic loader began to act, and a shell-out armor-piercing bullet had been stuffed into the gun chamber.

The turret began to rotate around, ready to engage the enemy at any time.

"Pay attention to the infantry battalion, after the battle starts, accurately judge the position of the opponent, maneuver from the side, surround all the Iranians, and fight a beautiful battle of annihilation, the self-propelled artillery company pays attention, stands by in place, is ready before launch, and receives launch instructions at any time." Ali ordered.

As Ali's armored regiment, which has strict requirements, the training level of this team is not ordinarily high, just looking at the handling of emergencies at this time, you can see a glimpse.

The average army would be in a hurry to make all kinds of preparations, but now, they can't hear the noise of a soldier, they all know what they should do.

The infantry fighting vehicles began to pick up speed and rushed towards the sides of the armored battalion, and in a moment they would outflank the Iranians in a roundabout way.

And the self-propelled guns, however, stopped, methodically chose solid ground, opened hatches, raised their guns, and were ready to provide fire support at any time.

The self-propelled gun, although it was in the back, however, had the longest range.

An invisible net has been slowly unfolded in the dark night.

Unbeknownst to Hassan, Hassan had made one of the most serious mistakes, and as a senior commander, it was his duty to stay in the command and direct the battle, not to rush to the front line. Although Abadan is very important, it is enough to send only the guard battalion, no more than him, no less than him. Due to his hurry and hurry, he did not send a reconnaissance vehicle in advance, and the whole team walked forward in a group.

This is a big taboo, in the dark of the night, marching blindly, Hassan's military qualities, I am afraid not quite clever, Khomeini made him a commander, purely because he was religiously and unswervingly supported his movement.

Khomeini did not trust those senior commanders who had well-established military theories and went to the United States to further their studies, such as Rajawi, who shamefully absconded with Aber.

Piggybacking, he also distrusted General Sharaf, so he let Hassan command the battle, but the outcome of the battle was miserable.

The Chieftain has advanced suspension, and while it is going on high-speed off-roading, the crew inside has adapted to the bumps.

Through the night vision device, the commander once saw that there seemed to be a heat source similar to the engine in front of him, but it was fleeting, maybe he was dazzled! The commander thought.

He didn't know that it was the other party's reconnaissance vehicle that had made contact with them, and as soon as the reconnaissance vehicle found them, it quickly retreated. The task of the reconnaissance vehicle is to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and when it fights with tanks, it is certainly not an opponent.

After a few more minutes, the yawning commander's gaze suddenly straightened.

On the side, there was a large heat source, which was quite a large convoy, and at such a time, it could only be a combat vehicle, most likely a tank. And those obvious highlights in the heat source are probably the other party's infrared headlights!

"Be careful, we are encountering an unknown convoy, and the other side is likely to have tanks." The commander pulled over the radio and anxiously reported to the commander.

Before he could finish speaking, he heard the deafening sound of artillery.

"Boom, boom!"
