Super military empire

On the highway in southeastern Iran, an armored unit composed of dozens of weird tanks in yellow-brown desert camouflage and armored vehicles of the same camouflage is racing on the road. Cars driving on the road will get away when they see this armored unit from a distance. Up the road.

No one knows why such an advanced and elite tank unit will appear in this position.

But they knew that the hateful Iraqis had invaded.

Six hours later, the tank had left the Iranian Shahr at the departure point by a distance of 300 kilometers!However, it is still more than two thousand kilometers away from the western battlefield.

The tank's butt fume exhaust pipe was puffing out black smoke feebly, like some tank soldiers in the tank who couldn't stand it.The speed dropped so sharply that the commander who was watching this situation in the command car had to order a rest.

"Be faster! The Iraqis are raging on our land!" Three days have passed since the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq War!

After resting for half an hour, let the soldiers solve the problem on the side of the road, and because of their numb body after sitting in the tank for too long, Hojatyi gritted his teeth and issued an order.

The Iraqi army, which caused heavy losses to the old army stationed on the border, is quickly rushing from the border area to the western border.

However, the distance is too far.

Although before the start of the war, a battalion of 33 tanks provided by China was assembled in Shahr, a transportation hub in the southeast, but unfortunately, it is too far to the border.

The command of the Supreme Chief Khomeini made the First Armored Division of the Revolutionary Guards, which has not yet been reorganized and formed a combat capability, rushed to the western town of Awas!The infantry division of the Revolutionary Guards in the capital has rushed towards the border battlefield.

"Battle commander, the tanks are running low on fuel. You must stop to replenish fuel. I suggest you continue marching at night. The maximum range of these tanks is 550 kilometers. If they all travel at the highest speed, they can only reach 430 kilometers..." Deputy Battalion Commander Said with a frown.

For these new tanks, he knew that they were much stronger than the tanks that King Pahlavi had bought from the United States and France.

If they keep marching at the highest speed like this, without maintenance, before they reach the battlefield, it will lose a lot.The Chinese have not completed all the tests. Long-distance attacks can easily cause non-combat attrition.

"Ansar, we must go to the border as soon as possible and drive the Iraqis back! We have lost a lot of territory in the past three days! Those guys in the old army suffered heavy casualties..." Facing this from the old army After mobilizing the experienced deputy's advice, Khojatyi knew it should be adopted, but he couldn't let the soldiers stop.

Everyone is tired.

These tanks are all new tanks, and the soldiers on the tanks have only been familiar with them for two months. From the training of recruits to the present, the total is only four months, except for some of the experienced Islam mobilized from the old army. Many of the armored soldiers are recruits.

Even the running-in was not completed.

"Even if we catch up now, it's no use. The command from the headquarters is to arrive in Ahwaz within ten days. It is enough for us to drive 300 kilometers a day. We should slow down and let our soldiers become more familiar with it. Tanks and careful maintenance. Only in this way can we kill more invaders!” Deputy Battalion Commander Ansar himself has rich experience. At the same time, he also learned from the instructors sent by China very seriously to discuss the relationship between the two countries. The tactics of battle between tanks.

Every day, I am absorbing the knowledge from Chinese instructors like a sponge.

The combat effectiveness of the Iranian army is not strong, although the equipment is advanced.China's People's Liberation Army has always been accustomed to fighting powerful enemies with backward equipment.This is what they must learn.

"No, let the soldiers take turns driving. There are enough gas stations on the side of the road to replenish fuel. We must enter the battlefield as quickly as possible! We want the old army to see the quality of our devout religious warriors!" Mullah Hazari He hadn't spoken all the time, and when he saw Hojatyi he had to agree, and immediately raised an objection.

The Revolutionary Guard is a new team.

Only these religious clergymen know more clearly what kind of mission they have.Not only need to maintain the security of the entire country, but also their Islamic teachings.

In this world, there is only Iran.

"If these tanks ran for more than 2,000 kilometers for a long distance, without good maintenance, we would all lose a lot in the end!" Ansar gritted his teeth and said, "Chinese instructors are asking us to check and maintain them every day. Only in this way can we Let our tanks be in service for a longer period of time without problems at critical moments!"

"Now these tanks have been running for six consecutive hours, running hundreds of kilometers, are there any problems? We should fully trust our suppliers!" Hazari retorted unceremoniously.

These tanks from Shahr in Iran have been overhauled by professional technicians.

This is the logistic personnel who are determined to purchase from China and then transferred to China to study maintenance. These people are not responsible for this work, but are involved in the design and manufacture of the Longweiyi tank. Trainers.

Pakistan has invested huge funds in design and development, and obtained related manufacturing authorizations. The two countries have cooperation in this area.

The presence of Pakistani personnel in Iran is normal.

"It's not true, but there are more than two thousand kilometers away!" Ansar didn't care that he might be fired or even sentenced for colliding with the mullah.“It’s not reliable for these Chinese tanks that have not undergone this kind of inspection to run long distances at the maximum road speed for more than 2,000 kilometers! Especially their tracks, even if they are covered with a layer of carbon fiber and more than ordinary tanks. Better rubber, when there are not enough accessories, I don’t think our tanks can survive combat missions for a long time..."

"Let's talk about it first! The Chinese should have provided us with at least 100 tanks at this time. Up to now, there are only more than 60 tanks. Although there are still 25 at sea, we don't know when we will get to Iran. Must be thrown into the battlefield as soon as possible to resist the attack of the Iraqis!" Hojatyi, who was a little hesitant, also strengthened his thoughts.

They know their combat quality.

Because of this, they should quickly throw themselves into the battlefield.Without trains, they can't transport their tanks over there long distances, and there are no large military transport planes. The only thing that can be done is long-distance raids!

"Then at least, let our soldiers take care of it first! If the soldiers can take it down, we will continue on our way..." Ansar had to take a step back.

Hojatyi and Mullah looked at each other and had to agree.

For tank operations, Ansar, who came out of the armored unit, is more proficient than them.

Under Ansar's arrangement, the soldiers in the team who were lying lazily resting on the tank shell suddenly became busy.

The roads are not hardened, and the roads are relatively smooth dirt roads, because too many heavy trucks are crushed, the road pits and bags are not flat, and the rubber wrapped around the new tank track is easy to wear.

A dry area, with a lot of dust, and enough pebbles.

All of this is a severe test for expensive advanced tanks, especially these Chinese tanks have not experienced a long test.If you change to any country, you will not buy a new tank from another country when the test is not fully completed.

The Iranian plateau is even worse than the several tank test sites in China.

There are too many electronic systems in these tanks, the electronic parts themselves are very delicate, and there are even more headaches in the hydraulic system!

"No problem, you can continue. But our soldiers..." At the end of the overhaul, all the tanks performed well and were in the best condition.

"Before setting off and loading the ship, the Chinese have been running for a long time. The first two months of training are enough to expose a lot of problems! Ansal, your worry is unnecessary. Let the soldiers go!" Hojatyi received the report from the logistics company and was very satisfied."The weapons exported by China are not the best in performance, at least in terms of reliability!"

Ansar was speechless and could only continue.

Although the soldiers are physically exhausted, and sitting in them for a long time, the blood does not circulate and they are easily tired.

All are fanatical religious believers who have contributed everything to Allah.When Allah’s cause is affected, when their country is facing an enemy’s invasion, they naturally clenched their teeth.

Under the command of the command vehicle, it only took one hour and eight minutes to complete the inspection and repair of the rest zone, and the convoy was on the road again.

The entire convoy hurried all the way, and still hurried towards the western battlefield at the maximum highway speed, unless the road met the gas station in the small town, it rarely stopped.

Even in the dark, the speed has only dropped to fifty kilometers!

Such madness is a huge miracle for the entire history of the armored corps in the world.

Twelve hours later, the armored convoy was six hundred kilometers away from Shahr, Iran!If it were not that the soldiers' bodies could not bear it, the crazy battalion commander and the mullahs would not allow the soldiers to rest.

At night, after eating the unpalatable 761 compressed biscuits imported from China and drinking cold water, all the soldiers slept on the ground wrapped in military coats beside the tank.

After only six hours of rest, the tired soldiers were kicked out of their sleep by the battalion commander again.

Carry out a comprehensive overhaul of the tank in the lights, and then refuel the tank. After a busy period, before dawn, the huge convoy roared again and headed straight to the west!

The people in the fanatical armored unit of half recruits and half veterans, whether they are officers or soldiers, no one knows that they are creating a miracle!

After the birth of a tank, the miracle of the fastest running speed.

Even the world's most powerful country, no one dares to do this. The long-term continuous operation of the tank will cause great damage to the engine.After all, an engine can make objects weighing tens of tons move fast at an average speed of 50 kilometers and run continuously for dozens of hours, which is very harmful.

There is a way that is ignorant and fearless. Only those who understand and do not understand can make history and create miracles!

On the first night, I had a six-hour rest. On the second day, I just stopped to refuel and drove throughout the day. After all, the captain and gunner of the tank were able to drive the tank.There is no need to observe the external environment, and there is no need to guard against the sudden appearance of the enemy during the movement.From the way they advance, there are no big cities or huge oil refineries, and Iraqi fighter jets cannot fly such a long distance.

On the second day, after driving for 20 hours in a row, the first battalion of the first regiment of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s First Armored Division trained in Pakistan was only 800 kilometers away from the battlefield.

"Keep on driving, the Iraqi fighter jets can spot us during the day! Assault at night, rest during the day, and overhaul equipment!" Ansar can't care about anything else now.

From now on, we must observe the enemies in the sky.

Otherwise, if they were bombed by the Iraqi Air Force, they would have run for so long in vain.

In Basra, there is a huge Iraqi Air Force fleet stationed, and the oil refineries in the south are the prime targets of Iraqis.

Driving a distance of two hundred kilometers forward again, the sky has begun to light up.

Under the command of the officer, the tank broke off the road and hid in the valley next to it.

The yellow-brown desert camouflage outside makes these steel monsters not easy to spot.

"The front is only more than 300 kilometers away from Mahshahr Port and a little more than 600 kilometers away from Ahwaz. If we go to Ahwaz, we won't be there in a short time..." Along the way, the radio on the traffic car kept receiving According to the news ahead, the Revolutionary Guard’s First Division is currently stationed at Mahshahr Port, except for some units that accept air defense missiles from China. The division headquarters and large units are in Ahvaz and placed in front of the officers of the first battalion. There are two options.

It is likely that they will be spotted by the Iraqi fighter fleet on their way from Mahshahr Port to Ahwaz.

The most advanced fighter jets of the Iranian Defense Forces, the F14, were all stationed in the capital Tehran. They participated in the war in the north, and the southern battlefield could not support them.

"We will not go to Ahwaz, we will pass through Mahshahr port directly to the mountain to the west to intercept Saddam's Tikrit Division's tank regiment!" Ansar was aware of the news ahead and knew Iraq’s most elite president. The Tikrit Division of the Guards dispatched a tank regiment equipped with Soviet T72 tanks to Basra before the war.

"We only have one battalion!" Hojatyi said with a frown.

"Before we set off, we couldn't think of being able to run two thousand kilometers in less than 48 hours, and now we are done! Even if we sacrifice, as long as we can destroy their most elite offensive forces, we can stop their offensive. Otherwise, they It will occupy Mahshahr Port..." Ansar said solemnly.
