Super military empire

At this moment, all tanks and armored vehicles on the southern front of the Iran-Iraq battlefield were maneuvering.

The number of Iraqi tanks exceeded 420, and even more than 500 armored vehicles rushed towards Iranian positions on a battle line of more than ten kilometers.

On the Iranian side, the same more than 370 tanks and more than 400 armored vehicles also rushed towards the invaders in three clusters.

The distance between the two sides, with the passage of time, and the increasing dust, keep shrinking.

"Stop!" Arrived at the initial combat area, Ansar issued an order with a serious expression. This order was issued by Mullah Hazari beside him.Hojatyi, the regimental commander who was supposed to be in the command post, got on a Dragon Guard II command tank. He would personally lead the first battalion of the first regiment to charge.

"The second battalion, the third battalion, the defensive formation expands! The first battalion, stop advancing, center and respond, the armored vehicle unit, spread to the tank unit, keep your distance, pay attention to concealment!" Ansar's orders were issued in series Got out.

He couldn't command the tanks next to him. They were not the equipment of the Revolutionary Guards, but the National Defense Forces.

In this battle, the armored regiment of the Revolutionary Guard was the absolute main force.Although the Patton tank from the United States and the Chief Tank from the United Kingdom are heavier than the Dragon Guard tank, their advanced level, defensive power, and even firepower cannot be compared with the lighter Dragon Guard tank.

In Iran, most of them are equipped with second-generation tanks. Although the weight of the chief is close to 60 tons, no matter the caliber of the tank gun or the internal environment, it cannot be compared with the third-generation tanks, and cannot penetrate the T72 at all. Defense, not to mention the more advanced t64 and the American m1.

"Hazari, can you please inform the friendly forces that they are approaching us. The Iraqis have more tanks and armors than us. We can only focus on attacking one of their clusters and then eat the tanks next to them! Let them stay on both sides. The next part of tanks will be contained..." Ansar's commanding ability is beyond doubt.

Hazari didn't care about the other party's tone now.

The situation on the front line was continuously reported back through the armored vehicles under investigation, and the distance between the two parties was only less than eight kilometers.The tank’s high-explosive shell has been reached here, but neither side fired first.

The thick-skinned three-generation tanks, at such a distance, it is impossible to impress the defense at all, unless it is a large-scale saturated artillery bombardment, it is possible to achieve some results.

The Iraqi commanders are not fools. They will not fight in places where Iranian tanks can be supported by heavy artillery units.

Therefore, the tank battles between the two sides will basically not encounter the support of artillery troops. Once the artillery troops appear, the other side will have to retreat, looking forward to fighting again!

"The front is about to come in contact, Mr. Liu, should our artillery be dispatched?" After getting information from the front line, Al Tadel asked Liu Suxue who was drinking tea while the old god was.

Liu Suxue shook his head, "The artillery should move to the Shadegan area. Once there is a result, there should be the main battlefield. Otherwise, it will not be possible to clear Makhshahr or counterattack Dalhoven..."

Artillery troops cannot appear here. Being able to effectively bully armored vehicles does not mean that they can deal with thick-skinned tanks.

"But, in this way, our tank unit..."

"Nothing. You should have full confidence in the Dragon Guard tank. Before that, our tanks had been bombarded with 152 shells. Such powerful shells could not penetrate the Dragon Guard tank's defenses. Iran. On the one hand, there are the most advanced tanks in the US and the Soviet Union. Ours can resist, why can't theirs resist?" Liu Suxue roughly interrupted the other party.

Then there was nothing more to say.

As long as Iraq does not have the support of armored forces, their army will not be as strong.

Al Tedell frowned and began to dispatch the counterattack.

The 40,000 Iranian Revolutionary Guards and the 60,000 old army began the final preparations before the war.

Tanks and rocket launchers from China were distributed to each infantry squad, each squad, with seven anti-tank armor-piercing shells. Similarly, there are 62 rocket launchers and 40 fires that are most popular in the Middle East.

"boom!"

The Iraqis knew that the other party had stopped and waited for their arrival. In the last few kilometers, they stopped at the maximum speed, and the gun barrel charged violently against their tank.

When the two sides looked at each other, the rushing Iraqi tank troops stopped, and then quickly raised the gun barrel. Before they could fire, the first round of the opponent's attack had begun!

"Fire! Fuck them fiercely!" At this moment, the redundant command was useless. Qasim was in the rear command vehicle. After getting the information, he ordered.

Hundreds of tanks lined up, and then the gun barrels began to rise, violently firing at the enemy who was only more than two kilometers away.

No need to aim, the dense tank formation allows the gunners of both sides to quickly press the shell launch button.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" A series of explosions began to eject flames and white smoke from the gun barrel of the tank, starting the prelude to the war in the dust.

"Rush up! Use armored shells! The first battalion continues to stand by!" After two rounds of shooting by the two sides, no results were achieved at all.

High-explosive bombs cannot break defenses.

The opponent's tank also couldn't penetrate Longwei's defense!

After learning about the situation, Ansar didn't even have a judgment, so he issued a puzzling order.

"Let all the tanks move separately!" The Chinese tanks need to fire while they are on the move, which can effectively increase the defense force and make it difficult for the enemy to aim, and the fire control system above can assist the tank in action Shoot.

The same is true for American M1 tanks.

The Soviet t64 also has this capability.

At the beginning of the contact, the tanks on the two wing fronts did not move quickly, but just stopped in place, and the two sides bombarded each other with artillery shells.Whether it is the British chief or the American Patton, they are only 105mm tank guns and cannot use the tungsten core tail shelling armor-piercing projectiles from China.

The British will naturally not provide it to Iran at this time.

The battle didn't last long, and more than a dozen Pattons turned into burning scraps in the opponent's t72.

If it were not for the fact that there were not many t72s in the opponent's hands, the war would end when it started.

Iraq is more equipped with t54/t55 from the Soviet Union.Therefore, the two sides are evenly matched.

"Ansal, the right wing has scrapped 8 taels of m48, and two chiefs..."

"Don't worry about the two wings, our main battlefield is the middle position!" Ansar gritted his teeth and said.He is not a frontline commander, but a temporary commander of the first regiment.

Moreover, as the front-line commander, Al Tadel seemed to have no will to command at all, allowing them to fight like scattered sand.

In the area more than 20 kilometers northeast of Dalhovin, it is the main battlefield of this tank battle. In the middle are the most elite and advanced tank units. The first regiment of the Tikrit Division of the Iraqi Presidential Guard faced the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. The most elite armored regiment.Both sides are the top third-generation tanks.

On the two wings of the middle battlefield, it is different.

Both sides are some second-generation tanks, only Iraq has a large number of T72s, these are the main forces in the war.

"Let the infantry get out of the car, and the armored car back! The tanks cover, rush to the front to kill them with a rocket launcher!" In the east wing battlefield, more than 20 T72s kept the Iranian Patton tanks into a ball of fire.

Commander Mesharyi's eyes were red.

Their tank defenses are not good enough. The old American tanks cannot effectively resist the Soviet 125mm tank guns.

"Commander, this can't be the case. If our infantry does not have the cover of armored vehicles, the opposing tank machine gun can turn them into pieces of meat!" The staff tried to persuade the commander appointed above, "Furthermore, Hojatyi The colonel asked us to keep a small part to contain them and move closer to them..."

"Leave a small part? How to stay? Once we retreat, the other party will chase after us and gradually kill us. At that time, we will have no power to fight back." After finishing speaking, he took the command step. The phone commanded all the tank captains: "Attention all units, organize defenses on the spot, and fuck them fiercely! The coordinated bazookas rush up and kill the other tanks! Allah bless us!"

Following Mesharyi’s order, they were still fighting separately. Some of the tanks that were evading the enemy's attack were scattered on both sides, stopped, and then the tank body turned, the front of the car was facing the direction of the Iraqi tank, and the turret also turned. .

As if to find the situation on Iran, the same was true for Iraq. The tank stopped, t72 moved forward and formed the first defensive position, while the t55 and t54 behind them also began to move towards this position and then stopped.

"boom!"

The battlefield that had just been quiet for a while, with the sound of a cannon popping out of its chamber, became fiery again.

The back doors of the armored vehicles that were originally interspersed with the tanks opened. Numerous Iranian tank soldiers carried bazookas, jumped off, and quickly climbed to the ground. Under the cover of the tanks slowly moving towards the wall, they were preparing to face the opposite. The Iraqis rushed over from the position.

The anti-tank rocket launchers in their hands have been tested by war.

It has great power to deal with advanced three-generation tanks like t72!

As the armored vehicles withdrew, many infantrymen were blown into a pile of meat and blood mist by dense bullets from the opposite side and small artillery shells on the armored vehicles. Meshalyi immediately roared!

"Machine gunner, cover!"
