Chapter 420: The Graveyard of the 69 Tank

readx;

The T-72 tank, in the entire Middle East theater, can almost be said to be invincible, the chieftain of the Iranians, at most can be on a par with him, and others, such as M60 and M48, are not opponents at all, and this 69 tank is even more incontagible. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧

The 69 tank still uses a 100 mm smoothbore gun produced by China, and this caliber artillery, when firing shè armor-piercing shells, can only destroy the main armor of the T-72 at a distance of 500 meters, while the 125 mm caliber gun of the T-72, which is at a distance of 1,500 meters, can kill the Iranian tank.

This is the generation difference!

In the Gulf War in later generations, the United States used advanced M1 tanks to defeat the T-72, and the T-72 had no power to fight back at all, and the current T-72 can form a great advantage over the 69 tank.

The T-72 tank went to the battlefield, and the fate of the Iranian armored forces was decided at this moment, and there was no second way to go except to be annihilated!

Two thousand meters away, an armor-piercing bullet with good luck killed a 69 tank, and with this as the beginning, the battle between the two groups of steel giants finally began. ≦≧

However, the outcome of the war was completely one-sided.

The engine of the T-72 tank is constantly refueling, driving the huge body to move forward on the position, and the 125 mm caliber gun is releasing an earth-shattering roar, here, it is the world of Iraq!

In the face of the opponent's armored cluster, Muhammad still wanted to fight, he ordered his own armored troops, quickly break through, and when they approached to a distance of 1,000 meters, their own firepower could also be exerted!

However, he did not expect that the Iraqi armored forces would not give him this opportunity at all.

Just when the T-72 tank was attacking head-on, with the BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle of the armored force, it began to move quickly to the two wings, and they carefully maintained a distance of about five thousand meters from the other side, at this distance, the Iranian artillery fire would never pose a threat to them, but they had weapons that could hit the other side: anti-tank missiles carried on infantry fighting vehicles!

"Boom!" Another armor-piercing shell, the most sharp armored unit of the Republican Guard, the quality is definitely not ordinarily high, at a distance of 1,500 meters between the two sides, the hit rate is as high as 80 percent, almost every moment, there will be 69 tanks smoking and turning into a pile of scrap metal. ≦≧

In ten minutes, the vanguard of the Iranian armored forces, dozens of tanks, were all killed, and after the tanks were eliminated, the armored vehicles of the Iranians became the target of the second batch of strikes.

At this time, the Iranian armored forces have already discovered that the situation is not good, and they no longer have the capital to fight in front of this armored force! The best way to do this is to retreat immediately!

Although there was no order from the front, the strikers of the Iranian armored forces, the remaining armored vehicles, still chose to retreat, because of the urgency of time, they simply did not have time to turn around, and most of them were hanging in reverse gear and retreating directly.

As a result, they collided with the main force behind them, disrupting their own attack formation.

The T-72 tanks of the 4th Panzer Division, which were also moving to the flanks, had formed a semicircular encirclement against the Iranian armored forces.

The sky is getting dark.

The Iranian armored corps, which faithfully carried out Mohammed's orders, drove their own tanks and were also fighting Iraqi tanks. ≦≧

At a distance of a thousand meters, several tanks that finally rushed closer, fired a few shells, but most of them missed, only one hit the main armor of the T-72, but did not penetrate, however, although the members of the tank were shocked, they still fought hard, and the tank that attacked them was bombarded into scrap metal.

It was already dark, and both sides turned on their night vision devices.

The night combat devices of the T-72 and 69 tanks all use infrared headlights, but due to the limited technical level, the combat distance under the infrared headlights of the 69 tank is even shorter to 400 meters.

Ahmadi was in a T-72 command tank, personally commanding the battle, during the daytime fighting, the 42nd Division paid a great price, and now, it is time for the Iranians to pay the bloody debt!

Annihilate this force of the Iranians!

Although the Iranian attack group has gathered most of Iran's armored forces, in terms of scale, it is not comparable to the Fourth Armored Division at all, and in terms of combat effectiveness, they cannot be compared with such sharp troops as the Fourth Armored Division. ≦≧

In the face of a powerful offensive by Iraqi armored forces, Mohammed finally ordered a retreat, but this attack failed again when it came closest to victory.

The news of the fighting continued to flow to Basra and then to Baghdad.

Qusai knew that this time he had smashed Khomeini's conspiracy and wiped out the armored forces he had worked so hard to accumulate again, but his own casualties this time were still very large, especially the 42nd Infantry Division, which was almost disabled.

The main reasons for this defeat were the port of Khomeini and the mountains east of Ahvaz!

Having occupied this plain, obtained an oil production and processing base, and obtained a large economic income, the war, in the end, served the economy, he was already satisfied, but, now it seems that it is absolutely impossible!

Due to the obstruction of mountainous areas, the port of Khomeini to Abadan, which seems to have a large strategic buffer, is easily advanced by armored forces because it is a plain, and the air force of the Southern Military District, which has always been trusted by itself, has not shown much superiority under the confrontation of Iran's desperate investment in the air force. ≦≧

Iraq's road to hegemony is still very difficult, and if you are not careful, you will succeed! Kusai finally knows that on the road to hegemony, we can't stand still, we must move forward, and then move forward!

In his mind, he was already thinking of the next strategy, after completely crushing this Iranian attack, his side would take advantage of the victory to pursue, in the south, the troops remaining in the ports of Ahvaz and Khomeini, should continue to march eastward, occupy the mountainous areas on the edge, and then, on the top of the mountain, deploy several large radars to monitor the surrounding airspace, connect with the C3I system of the Southern Military District, and buy more time for the eastern plains.

In the north, Bakhtalam's army marched north, occupying the province of Kurdistan.

At the same time, a massive bombing of Iran in order to combat the war potential of the Iranians! Blow up all of their J-7s, F-4s, etc., on the runway!

Iran is like a hundred-legged worm, dead but not stiff.

Then chop off your legs one by one, and let Iran's war potential disappear completely!

In the past, Qusay still had long-term considerations, fearing that the military action against Iran would progress too quickly and would not be able to catch up with the changes in the world pattern, which would lead to the hostility of the United States against Iraq in advance.

Iraq is too powerful and will pose a threat to the United States, so these transactions with the United States cannot be carried out now, and the Jewish forces in the United States will definitely make a big fuss about Iraq.

Qusay forgot that the United States has always played up the theory of the China threat, but China is still strong, what do they say, they can't interfere, but they must make Iraq strong! Can't wait any longer!

And now it seems that his idea is a little too naïve, mercy to the enemy is cruelty to himself, he can't be too merciful to Iran, he wants to completely remove Khomeini from power and solve the Iranian problem completely!

Because, Iraq is definitely not facing Iran, but the whole world!

The abundant oil resources under the land are something coveted by rogue countries, and Iraq has no other way but to be strong, and strong!

Qusay has already made up his mind, and specific combat operations have begun to be formulated by the entire Ministry of Defense under his instructions.

Khomeini didn't know that if he stayed honest and stopped thinking about recovering the lost territory, the country of Iran would be able to maintain for a few more years.

However, his desperate madness completely aroused Qusay's fighting spirit, and a plan to completely conquer Iran finally began to be laid out.

It is unrealistic to completely occupy Iran, but it is necessary to occupy the strategic heights in the southwest and north of Iran and obtain Iran's oil and important agricultural production areas, so that Iraq can obtain the greatest economic benefits, and with agricultural production areas, Iraq can no longer import grain, and at the same time, support the separatist forces within Iran, and then establish a puppet regime, so that Iran, the country, can completely become a vassal of Iraq!

Everyone was extremely excited about the people who carried out the battle plan, and they knew what a huge and important battle plan it was!

The history of the Middle East began to undergo earth-shaking changes from the day of the bloody battle of the 42nd Division and the evening when the 4th Division began to attack.

The bloody battle in eastern Abadan continues. It's just that now it's the Iranian armored corps that is bleeding.

On this day, it can be said that it is the end of the Iranian armored forces.

If two years ago, Iranian armored troops drove the most powerful Sheikh tank in the Middle East, and had the most advanced fire control system, they could have dominated the land, but Khomeini's purge lost a large number of skilled tankers.

And now, Iran's armored corps, both in equipment and training, has dropped a notch, using 69 tanks against infantry, which is a big killer, but confronting T-72 tanks is purely an act of seeking death.

They barely got a chance to open fire and were taken out by the T-72 tanks.

On the plains on the outskirts of Abadan became a graveyard for 69 tanks.
