609 Let Iran test the performance of the top tanks of the United States and the Soviet Union
"Ansal, what did you say?" Hearing Ansal's words, Hojat Ed was immediately angry.
He wanted to ask Ansar if he was still loyal to the Pahlavi dynasty. Everything about the US was stronger than Iran! But he knew that the consequences of this question naturally had no impact on him, and he might even make contributions because of this, but for Ansar, it was definitely a disaster.
The Armored Regiment needs talents like Ansar, and, many times, Ansar is responsible for the overall work.
The leader of the group is far worse than Ansal in terms of ability.
He was not jealous of Ansar, nor did he want Iran to lose the war, otherwise the Iranian revolution would eventually fail, Iran would continue to rule by the Pahlavi dynasty, and the Revolutionary Guards would eventually be hung on the gallows by Pahlavi.
Everyone's eyes were staring at Ansar.
In this case, Ansar was not worried at all. After sorting out his military uniform collar, he said to many senior officials: "Our tank regiment is well-equipped, but the training is very insufficient, especially the Second Battalion and the Third Battalion, which are all equipment that only took over. Without the personal teaching of the Chinese instructors, it is not enough to train only by the people from our first battalion. The time is not long enough, and the combat ability is very poor now!"
Ansar said something, and even Hojatyi had nothing to say.
He knew better than anyone else about the situation of the First Tank Regiment, otherwise he would not have let Ansar do it.
"If it's just insufficient training, this is not a problem. The first battalion is all elites, many of them are college students, but what about the second battalion and the third battalion? There are also the armored vehicle troops that cooperate in combat, and have not even received training in the coordinated combat of infantry and tanks. Armored vehicles can effectively provide cover for infantry soldiers who cooperate in combat with tanks. However, the maximum range of tanks we purchased from China is only 630 meters, and the armored piloting ability will be greatly reduced! If the first battalion is used as the arrow, the second and third battalion is the main force, and the armored vehicle troops cooperate in combat, it can only be annihilated! Because the opponent's tanks are far ahead of us!"
Ansar mentioned these questions. He was studying this situation a long time ago.
Especially some of China's war styles fascinated him.
China has gone through too many large-scale wars, and the experience in the troops has been passed down and continuously improved. China's armored forces are not weak, but they can challenge the US imperial examination on the Korean battlefield. They can also compete with the Soviet Union's steel torrent.
This is something that any country in the world with insufficient armor strength should learn.
"And, it's not just these reasons. Although the Second Dragon Vehicle tanks from China have not changed much overall, they have installed more weapon modules. Even China's own tank soldiers probably have not conducted much adaptation training. The Second Dragon Vehicle tanks focus on strengthening firepower output, some are air defense missiles, and some are anti-tank missiles. How to make these missiles exert the greatest power? We have not had special training for cooperation with friendly forces. So far, the soldiers of our first battalion are not familiar with the operation..." This is the biggest problem.
Without the First Battalion, the combat effectiveness of the entire First Regiment will be reduced to a worrying level.
All the big guys were silent.
Even the First Battalion, these soldiers did not complete the training and finally showed surprising results.
In fact, after the Dragon Guard-type tank show not far from the port of Mahshahel, the war on the southern front began to turn into a confrontation.
The first battalion did not go through too much war tests and did not gain enough war experience.
The Iraqis did not react to that encounter. If the coordinated armored vehicles came up from behind, the first battalion with an effective command system would not be formed. A large number of tanks would be lost!
In the war, the problems of troops are constantly emerging, and then they are learned and improved.
This is a problem that any country will face.
"Now the Iraqis will not give us time. The Tikrit Division is the most elite unit of President Saddam's Guard, and they all come from Saddam's hometown, and they have suffered two consecutive losses. The Tekrit Division's face has disappeared. If revenge is not taken, even Saddam will not be able to keep the Tikrit Division's special treatment and honor in the entire Iraq..." Altaidel said gritting his teeth.
The chief of staff next to him continued to add, "That is, no matter what we do, they will attack! There is no time for us to continue training."
"Doesn't you have to fight?" Ansar sighed and asked the big guys.
They need too much time. "Didn't the Iraqis just got the tanks? They are also unfamiliar with equipment!"
"So this is our opportunity. Now it is not based on the military qualities of our soldiers, but on equipment! Whoever has stronger equipment can win this war. The other party has heavy tanks of over 60 tons, while ours has less than 40 tons..." The chief of staff looked very serious.
"Once the failure is, the north side of the Port of Mahshahr will open. If the port of Mahshahr is lost, our navy will be driven away from here..." The other party's strategic intention is very obvious, for the benefit of the Persian Gulf.
The Persian Gulf, on the other hand, is controlled by Saudi Arabia. Once they continue to retreat, Iran will eventually lose the interests of the entire Persian Gulf.
Saudi Arabia is constantly supporting Iraq.
"Ansar, we must win this war. Otherwise, Iraq's troops will advance quickly in the southern region..." As the commander of the First Regiment appointed by Khomeini, Khojatyi was very clear about their situation.
Ansar shook his head. Under such circumstances, Chinese tanks were obviously unable to compete with heavy tanks from the Americans and the Soviets.
"Perhaps, we should ask the mercenaries from Nippodosan." After a long time, Ansar made his own opinion.
What happened to Nippodosan? Smart people can think of it.
Moreover, the Guardian Mercenary Group from Nippodosan and the Blood-Crying Mercenary Group, which is well-known on the battlefield in Afghanistan, are also good at arming advanced troops with backward weapons and equipment.
Shi Dabing did not expect that the Iranian Southern Front Command would actually ask them to hold a combat meeting.
But when he heard the dilemma facing Avas, he shook his head helplessly.
He is not a senior officer, and he has no strategic thinking at all. What's more, they like to play special operations rather than formal positional warfare. Although Iraq and Iranian soldiers are still fighting according to the formation of World War I, only the Iranian Revolutionary Guard can do the intensive charge.
The backbone officers of the Iranian army were cleaned up and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
Islamists are not good at commanding wars.
"General, I cannot provide any advice on the current situation. But I personally believe that the combat method of the Revolutionary Guard should be changed, and we cannot continue to use the lives of soldiers as before to conduct intensive charges. To protect Avas, it is very simple. Just ensure that the armored troops are not damaged on a large scale..." Shi Dabing did not have a good solution to the numerous problems of the Iranian army.
Now, the Iraqi army can only be blocked thirty kilometers away, otherwise their artillery will launch a large-scale shelling of Avas.
Once the tank and armored forces lose their rival enemies, they will cause irreversible damage to the infantry.
"Col. I wonder if you have any research on armored forces' combat?" Altadel is now in a hurry to seek medical treatment.
If the Guardian Mercenary Group can create miracles again, it will be like a life-saving straw for them.
Shi Dabing shook his head directly, "We have just accepted special operations. But in the current environment, even the most powerful special forces are, they cannot cause irreversible damage to the other party..."
The opponent's more than 300 tanks were gathered together, and they had hundreds of armored vehicles. At the same time, there was also a guard of an infantry division. Who dared to do such a mission?
Moreover, the other party suffered a loss, and now the tanks are dispatched, and they are accompanied by armored vehicles.
"Of course, our tank troops can be dispatched to conduct a tentative and proactive attack. Test the opponent's new tank combat performance and the opponent's soldiers' operation." Shi Dabing did not suggest. Gan Quan, as the deputy regiment commander, suddenly spoke, suggesting that the Iranian army should take the initiative.
"We have a big gap now. We are better than their soldiers, but their equipment is more advanced than us, and there are very few air support forces..." Altaidel said with a frown.
"No, the other party doesn't know how many air defense missiles there are here, and the other party still doesn't know the specific performance of Houyi's air defense missile..." Gan Quan encouraged desperately.
We must try how far the Dragon Guard type is and the advanced tanks of the United States and the Soviet Union.
Awas's command center fell into deep thought, but Shi Dabing looked at Ganquan with a complicated expression.
"Yes, we should take the initiative. Only by knowing the enemy's weaknesses can we formulate a targeted action plan!" Ansar, who has a very important position in the hearts of Altaidel and others, firmly supported Ganquan.
"Why?" At the beginning, Ansar was opposed, and now Ansar is the one who supports the first attack.
"Take an initiative and take the initiative on the battlefield and let the other party fight according to our wishes..." Ansar explained.
After this combat meeting, Avas began to mobilize urgently, pushing the defensive positions for another five kilometers, and buried a large number of anti-tank mines in a very wide area, and digging trenches desperately... (To be continued.)
