The Iran-Iraq war, which took place in the Middle East, is now in its third year. Although Iraq's territory is not as large as Iran'www.biquge.info≦≧s, its population is not as large as Iran's, and its war potential is not as strong as Iran's, Iraq has always been supported by the surrounding Arab countries and Western countries throughout the war, so it has always been in an advantageous position throughout the war.

And Iran, a country dominated by Persians, under the Islam of Khomeini, they are inspired by religion, and they are also carrying out unremitting counterattacks, although they have been sanctioned by Western countries, but Iran has been self-reliant, improving various weapons and equipment at the same time, but also from Eastern countries, got a large number of weapons, rearmed themselves. The Iranian Air Force, relying on the J-7 fighters and the attack of a large group of aircraft that were all dispatched, finally burned the flames of war to Aladan, and the spirit of the Air Force that is not afraid of sacrifice has created an opportunity for the rolling torrent of the army.

Liberate Aladan! This is a very important link in Iran's counterattack, taking Abadan can close the gate of the plains, and then the isolated ports of Ahvaz and Khomeini can be defeated.

Therefore, the task of the attacking troops is very heavy, and their strategic significance is also very far-reaching. ≦≧

The Iranian Air Force, on the other hand, has succeeded in restraining the energy of the Iraqi Air Force, freeing them up to launch a large-scale attack on this torrent of steel.

However, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and both sides are fighting for one important thing: time!

Just delay the movement of the Iranian army and let your own armored forces arrive. You can encircle and annihilate this army.

As for the Iranian army, as long as it penetrates into the city of Abadan before the Iraqi air force is freed, the Iraqi air force advantage can be wiped out. Abadan is an important petrochemical city, and they will definitely not risk bombing Abadan.

The powerful Iranian armored forces, which are still running around in the plains, have received the attention of the commanders of both sides, nearly one hundred and fifty tanks, more than two hundred armored vehicles, this is already a powerful assault cluster, this torrent of steel. It was enough to crush the Iraqi infantry in front of it into a pulp.

Pressing on the shoulders of the 42nd Infantry Division was a heavy task, with flesh and blood. ≦≧ to fend off the Iranian armored clusters!

The 42nd Infantry Division was stationed scattered throughout the country, with its headquarters located 100 miles northwest of the port of Khomeini.

At this time, inside the division headquarters, the division commander Majid Krama was conveying the orders from above.

"The military district has allowed us to hold on to this place and hinder the advance of the Iranian army. At least hold out until dusk. Majid said.

"Divisional commander, this is impossible, we are facing not the infantry of the Iranians. It's not their sea of people attacking us. But the charge of the powerful armored group, we simply could not resist. A staff officer said.

"Shut up!" Majid immediately rebuked angrily: "This is an order from above. We can't disobey it, even if we die in battle, we can't disgrace His Excellency Qusay! We will resolutely complete the task! ”

The scolded staff officer blushed and said: "Division commander, I don't mean disobeying the orders of my superiors, I'm just stating our facts, we are infantry, and most of them are scattered in various places, and we also lack powerful weapons to attack armored forces." ≦≧”

"The more difficult our task is, the more we must complete it beautifully, because, we are the forty-second division of the Southern Military District! We are going to make a meritorious service, we are the troops of His Excellency Qusay! At the beginning, in the Susangild marshes, the Iranians' armored forces were so powerful, wasn't they all wiped out by His Excellency Qusay? Allah bless us! Will definitely get the job done! ”

At the mention of His Excellency Qusay, all the people suddenly felt a burst of excitement in their hearts, and the examples created by His Excellency Qusay made them extremely excited, why can't the infantry take out the tank? Absolutely!

When thinking of fighting tanks, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is the bazooka, but the range of the bazooka is very close, and it has to be close to the opponent's tank, and it must be on the flank to be sure of destruction. However, in a tank moving at high speed, if you want to get close to the other party, you must at least ask the machine gun on the other tank.

When the infantry used bazookas, it was necessary to rely on dense fortifications and communication trenches, but now it is definitely too late to temporarily construct these positions.

"We can use bazookas. ≦≧" said a staff officer: "However, in this case, our casualties will be quite large, and we can also use explosives packs and put them under the tracks of the opposing tanks..."

Before this staff officer finished speaking, he felt that it was inappropriate, if it was a street fight, these methods were still possible, but on the field, the 100-meter athlete would definitely not be able to run in front of the opponent's tank, and then put the explosive bag under the opponent's track. At the beginning of World War II, Marshal Zhukov also used this method, but military dogs were used.

"We can use recoilless guns!" Division Commander Majid said.

Recoilless cannon! Everyone's hearts lit up, yes, how did they forget this thing!

A recoilless gun is a gun that does not retreat when fired, and when fired, a considerable part of the gas produced by the propellant spills out of the rear of the gun, thus creating a reverse momentum close to the forward momentum of the projectile. This leaves the gun itself with almost no recoil.

Guns have no recoil, so there is no need for recoil buffers required by conventional guns, so recoilless guns become lightweight and easy to use. Infantry can also use recoilless guns to fire large-caliber shells. ≦≧ it is mainly used for direct attack on armored targets, suppression, and destruction of living forces and firearms, and has made great contributions in the history of anti-tank warfare.

In World War I and World War II, this kind of artillery made a great contribution, but after entering the 70s, due to the development of armor technology and the equipment of anti-tank missiles, the status and role of recoilless guns gradually declined.

However, within the 42nd Division, an artillery battery with a dozen 82-mm recoilless guns was placed in each battalion.

Now, it's time to put this weapon to work!

"Our mission this time is to delay the march of the Iranian armored forces, so that they cannot reach Abadan before the arrival of our armored forces, so our task is to harass and make our recoilless guns of various artillery batteries carry out harassing attacks on the Iranian armored group, and at the same time, let our infantry retreat to the perimeter close to Abadan and start building fortifications, once the front action does not work, then we need to use our blood to defend Abadan!" Majid said.

With the formulation of the action plan of the division headquarters, the counterattack of the 42nd Division finally began.

The self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery could not keep up with the flight of the Iraqi Air Force fighters at all, because the other side used Maverick missiles, which could be fired far beyond their range, and although the self-propelled anti-aircraft guns' gun-sighting radar detected the fighters in the sky, there was nothing they could do.

At this time, the fearless Iranian Air Force once again sent two squadrons of fighters, including several Jian-7s that had just returned to the airport and took off again after completing refueling and overhaul, and the Iranian Air Force's sortie efficiency was also very high.

Arslan's F20 fighters had just fired two Mavericks and destroyed two tanks on the ground before they had to engage in another air battle with the Iranian Air Force.

The loss of a couple of tanks, but it did not affect the offensive of the armored forces, they knew that now time was everything.

They did not know that on the plains, there was already a detachment carrying equipment specially designed for anti-tank use, and their bloody operation began.

The 42nd Division was armed with 82-mm recoilless guns made in China. This kind of artillery weighing 34 kilograms, the barrel of the gun and the chamber of the cartridge are an integral structure, and the transverse switch latch mechanism is adopted, in order to reduce the weight of the gun, the volume of the chamber is small; The gun latch has two nozzle holes at the upper and lower levels, and the latch shaft and the latch lever are used to complete the locking with the gun tail; The bolt is also equipped with a long nozzle to reduce the danger angle of the rear spray; It is equipped with a two-in-one optical sight and a low-light sight.

When dealing with armored targets, four kilograms of armor-piercing shells were used. The armor-piercing projectile is a rocket extended-range projectile, which uses a double-cone powder cover, and the armor-piercing thickness is 150 mm, so it can only hit the side of the tank with a range of 500 meters, so when the infantry is operating, the danger is still quite large, which is also the reason why it is gradually replaced by anti-tank missiles.

But in war, where are the immortals! It depends on whether the sacrifice is worth it or not! Now, it's time for the officers and men of the 42nd Division to forge the soul of the army with blood!

The officers and men operating this recoilless gun, after receiving the order, immediately rushed forward against the torrent of armor of the Iranians.

In the field of vision of the tank, all kinds of motor vehicles will be their targets, so the gunners of the 42nd Division, instead of approaching by car, chose to walk, and then, looking for a suitable place, waiting for fighters.

Because the tail of the gun has to be pressurized, the chamber pressure of the recoilless gun is not very high, and the barrel of the thin steel plate used is also very lightweight, which can be carried smoothly by a group, one person carries the gun body, one person carries the tripod, and the other two people can take the shell, and in case of crisis, you can also shoot directly in the way of shoulder without using a tripod.

On this plain, there are large weeds all around, and if the infantry is lurking in it, they will not notice it in the galloping tanks.

The Iranian armored forces were still advancing, they had already completed almost half of the march, and Mohammed was very pleased with the speed of his army.

Take back Aladan! Drive the Iraqi invaders out of Iranian soil! Although most of the fighters in this armored unit are new to the army, they are very war-minded and eager to fight! Fight for great Iran, shed blood and sacrifice for great leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini!
