527 China's new anti-aircraft missile, which is the addition, is on the field
"Long Weiyi, assault..."
The Iraqis had lost six tanks before they could figure out what was going on.
And the opponent was not hit.
Even if they hit the opponent's turret with armor-piercing bullets, the armor-piercing bullets were even embedded in the armor of the turret, and they had no effect at all and would not affect the combat performance of the opponent's tanks at all.
Iraqis panicked.
They didn't encounter anything like this.
This kind of thing was too strange for them. These weird tanks with diamond-shaped turrets were not like other tanks of the Iranian army. The armor-piercing bombs hit and did not explode! This completely out of the perception of the officers and soldiers of the Iraqi armored forces. Even the commander who was originally willing to take up his duties again and ordered his tank battalion to retreat.
When the command vehicle that was originally thrown behind and accompanied the slow Chinese crawler armored vehicle to the battlefield slowly like an old ox, he was left behind by the battalion commander and mullah. When Ansar, who became the commander, retreated when he saw that the Iraqis obviously had an advantage in numbers, he was immediately excited.
He didn't care about complaining or other things, and didn't even think about how far the opponent's 6th Army artillery was, and directly ordered the tank troops that were moving on the battlefield and constantly attacking the Iraqi tanks.
With the result of the battle, when you have a strong morale and have no energy to consider other things, you must take advantage of the victory to pursue. No one should pursue the enemy, no one should follow the enemy, and no one should follow the enemy, and become a lonely army, which is not considered by the battalion-level commander.
If I hadn't been worried about being cleaned up, Ansar himself would have jumped onto the tank next to him and rushed forward.
The commander's order came from the commander's radio, and the tanks that were originally fighting each other rushed towards the tanks that fired fire on the back. For many people, they thought that the Dragon Guard tank was the most powerful.
Many tanks were cleaned up, but there was no harm at all. Of course, there were also several tanks with bad luck, whose tracks were blown up and crawled into the nest, stopped there and raised their gun barrels high, using them as fixed turrets. They fiercely shot shells at the armored vehicles behind the opponent's tank group.
The 6-minute shot per minute and the huge recoil force made the tank weighing nearly 40 tons constantly retreat and move in the opposite direction of the shell flying out.
34 shells, including five armor-piercing shells, were soon wiped out by tanks that were lying in.
For this reason, the Iraqis again left behind the wreckage of four T72 tanks, and several tanks whose tracks were blown off or were damaged in other places and could not continue to move. Before they could rush to the battlefield, the armored vehicles behind them had just been dispatched and were about to let the infantry cooperate with the tanks to fight, the tanks in front ran towards the back frantically.
For a moment, the Iraqi positions became chaotic.
Some of the scattered infantry began to rush forward, while others were starting to retreat into the inside of the armored vehicles. The commander was no longer able to control it.
The artillery in the rear was still dozens of kilometers away, and there was no time to support it.
Once the tank is withdrawn, these armored vehicles can only become targets in front of the tank.
"boom!"
"Boom!" "Boom!"
When the first shell fell around the armored vehicle, more and more shells fell towards it.
The tanks are still exploding. There are only less than twenty tanks left now. The strange tanks of the Iranians are getting closer and closer. Their degree is significantly higher than the T72 tanks on their side. Many infantrymen who cooperate in combat have carried individual anti-tank rocket launchers. They calculate the distance and wait for the opponent's tanks to be closer to them.
The original pursuit turned into an encounter battle, and the encounter battle soon turned the blocking troops into a fleeing force. The Iraqi commander never thought that such a thing would be.
He desperately issued orders to his tank troops and armored vehicles. He needed to figure out why Iranian tanks caused their tanks to explode, and they exploded a lot, and the turrets flew high.
This is a narrow valley with armored vehicles and infantry fighting in concert. Apart from a few mortars and individual bazooka, there are no more anti-armor weapons.
The small caliber cannon on the armored vehicle is used to clean up the opponent's infantry fortifications, not to attack tanks.
I didn't see that many armored vehicles were firing fires, but they had no effect at all. The opponent's tank seemed to have a thicker skin than the t72, like an unbreakable steel monster.
"Tanks hold on! Let the armored troops build defensive positions quickly, and prepare for anti-tank bazooka!" Iraqi commander also found that the opponent's tank was faster than the t72. He had to issue an order to organize defense on the spot.
While the staff members around him gave his orders, a young staff member suggested to the commander: "Commander, we should call for the air force behind us for support. Our tanks are not fire-fire enough, and the artillery is too far away from here, so it is not reachable at all. Even if reinforcements come up, the war here is over!"
The commander thought about it and did not care about embarrassment. He had to let the Air Force use more powerful bombs to deal with these weird tanks.
Otherwise, their tanks will be left here by the other party.
"Click to the Basra Air Force Base Command and ask for reinforcements!" This order was almost spit out with gritted teeth.
The Tikrit Division, all the officers and soldiers came from the president's hometown, were the elite troops with the best equipment, the best treatment and the strongest combat effectiveness. President Saddam gave high hopes for the entire army. In this case, he did not let the Tikrit Division stay in Dudu to defend the president, but let the most elite troops divide into three parts, attack Iran from the north, middle and south directions, and attack Khomeina's bastard to export the religious revolution.
On the other side, Iran's pursuit continued, and the number of Iraqi T72 tanks was gradually decreasing.
The infantry, which was already retreating to the rear of Mahshahr Port, retreated.
Instead of stepping forward, they built a defensive position in the rear using the mountains on both sides of the road.
"Commander, I am the company commander of the 3rd Company of the 128th Regiment of the 9th Division of the National Defense Forces. I am here to report to you and cooperate with you in the battle!" As the war ahead was in full swing, a second lieutenant with a tired face appeared in the command car and reported to Ansar.
"Are you troops retreating from Abadan?" Ansar asked with a frown.
The retreating troops can be said to be defeated soldiers and have no structure at all.
"Report to the sir, yes, we are completing the blocking mission to retreat from Abadan. We have been chasing the shameless Iraqis along the way! Our troops have been dispersed and we have been unable to organize effective resistance..." The second lieutenant replied loudly.
"Tell me about the situation of the other party and Abadan's battle situation..." Since the other party was chasing Abadan, if there was no supplement, then there was no need to worry that the reinforcements behind them would come up soon.
They drove a tank to assault more than 2,000 kilometers from the Ibah border in a short period of time, and they had no use for three days.
And the opponent is the attacking side, so it is impossible to be like in the rear.
"The night before yesterday, Abadan was already lost. We lost all the heavy equipment and the air force provided very little cover... At present, the command center requires us to gather in the port of Mahshahel to organize resistance..." The second lieutenant briefly introduced the situation.
"So, the number of Iraqis in Basra's air force is quite large?" Ansar frowned when he heard this.
These tanks have fully demonstrated their powerful performance. They have not experienced much failure in long-distance raids. Even the combat performance in front of them shows that the Chinese are not bragging.
More than a dozen T72s were blown into scrap iron. Except for a few tanks that were blown off the tracks. There are basically no tanks destroyed in emergency repairs!
"Yes, at least two hundred aircraft have been stationed at Basra Air Force Base. During the battle a few days ago, the air forces of our sides carried out many air combat, destroying more than fifty of them, and we also lost at least sixty of them..." He said with a little gritted teeth.
They were scared by the other party's air force.
"So, there are at least 15o fighter jets over there?" Ansal suddenly felt a cool air rising from his back.
When he saw the lieutenant nodding, he immediately became nervous.
"All the tanks were returned, and the armored vehicles drove three times. The infantry built fortifications on the spot and set up the air defense missiles for me! Called the Mahshahr Port Command and asked them to provide air support!" Soon, a series of orders were issued.
The tank chasing ahead did not obey the commander's orders and was still chasing Iraqi tanks.
The air force in Port Mahshahel did not agree to provide support from the Communist Army, and Iraqi aircraft are constantly bombing important facilities in Port Mahshahel. If it is battalion commander Khojatyi, or Maulah Hazari, the order will be implemented even if the soldiers are not retreated soon.
The status of the deputy battalion commander is too embarrassing.
Moreover, Ansar was an officer mobilized from the old army to the Revolutionary Guard!
"When you retreat, did the air defense forces follow you?" Ansar knew that he could only save himself now.
After the Iraqi Air Force arrived here, these tanks could not withstand the attack of heavy aviation bombs. He had also heard that these tanks originally had air defense missiles, but due to price issues, the air defense missiles were not installed. The interfaces for air defense missiles and anti-armored missile modules were left behind.
The only hope is the ten individual shoulder-mounted missiles from China that they added at the Shahel base in Iran.
I hope that China's air defense missiles can perform as well as these tanks. If two missiles kill an Iraqi fighter, Ansar will be content.
The high-level dual-purpose 127mm machine gun on the tank cannot effectively damage the jet fighter. They are mainly ground troops, and there are no air defense missiles installed on the tanks, and the armored troops are only used for combat with tanks, rather than for air defense. Without air defense troops, it is impossible to build a solid position.
Under Ansar's order, the armored vehicle that was still advancing moved towards the hills on both sides.
The infantry inside the armored vehicles also began to carry engineer shovels and some slender silver-white missiles toward the mountain.
The missiles carried by these soldiers were slender and thicker than the arms of adults. The sharpest parts at the tip were painted red, with wings in the middle and wings at the tail.
The shoulder-mounted air defense missile produced in China, Houyi-2, has a range of 63oo meters and a shooting height of 28oo meters. Infrared guidance, the warhead has been equipped with advanced chips that control flight attitude and compare the targets. It has increased the range of about one kilometer compared to the Houyi-1 air defense missile, an increase of about 5oo meters and a weight of several kilograms, reaching 212 kilograms. The guidance part has added a large number of rare earth elements.
The cost of each coin is 430,000 RMB!
Compared with the Houyi-2 that was originally shown to Kanon on the Sino-Vietnam border battlefield, this missile has lowered its range, increased its shooting height, and increased its weight. This missile is not the Houyi-2 air defense missile. The Houyi-2 itself is an air defense missile for helicopters. The Ansar troops obtained only the ground air defense missile designed by Qin Yuan and others for fighter jets for promotion. Of course, Liu Yijiu also provided a lot of suggestions for this missile, and even the guidance part was made by him and Huang Qingyu.
There was no actual test in China, nor was there any target shooting experiments. For the poor Chinese Air Force, target aircraft are very expensive. The Iranians purchased a large amount of equipment and just sold new products and gave them it!
Even the shoulder-carrying style is not considered a sign.
The real Houyi-2 has a range of 82oo meters, a shooting height of 13oo meters, a solid fuel, and a total weight of 1273 kilograms. The difference between the two is quite large.
These missiles are not willing to accept by the Iranian Ministry of Defense, and there is no battlefield performance at all, and there is no more experimental data. In the end, Liu Yijiu waved his hand and gave priority to it. If he performs poorly, we don’t want money!
Only ten pieces were produced in the entire China.
In the whole of Iran, only ten were obtained.
No one expected that these ten missiles that should have been very useful should be equipped into Iran's air defense forces. As a result, they were waved by the logistics allocation department where Iran Shahl was located and equipped with the First Armored Division of the Revolutionary Guard Corps formed by Khomeini himself.
"Can these missiles work? Commander, I think these missiles are not as useful as anti-aircraft machine guns! They can't aim at them at all!" When I saw three small black dots appearing in the distant sky, the captain looked at the so-called air defense missiles that were obviously enduring the weight of these soldiers, and couldn't help but ask with some concern.
If it is useless, the battlefield in front and even behind them will be blown up by the opponent's fighter jets as targets. (To be continued.)
