Chapter 175 Iran Counterattack

Zhang Feng did expect that there was something different from history. After Iran won Abadan's victory in history, it was unable to launch another attack, so the large-scale war stopped for several months.

Because at that time, the initiative of the war had entered the hands of the Iranians. Iran accumulated strength and finally suddenly made efforts to drive the Iraqi army out of its territory.[]

Now, the situation has reversed. The Iraqi army not only took down Koramshahr, but also took down the important city of Abadan. In this way, the major oil fields with the most abundant oil production in southwestern Iran will be threatened by Iraq's troops coming out of Abadan, and, most importantly, the Port of Khomeini in the east, Iran's largest port, will also be threatened by Iraq at all times.

In this case, Khomeini was already unable to sleep or eat, so how could he ignore it and slowly and organize the army in an orderly manner?

At this time, he finally accepted the suggestion of Lieutenant General Hashmian Said to release a large number of soldiers who were not very enthusiastic about the revolution during the Islamic Revolution in prison.

The reason why these battles failed so badly is that Hashmian believes that the lack of a large number of rich experience in the army is related to the training of middle and low-level commanders.

Because of the cleaning of the army during the Islamic Revolution, a large number of commanders were arrested. In this way, the combat effectiveness of the army declined very quickly. Moreover, he replaced it with a mullah who knew nothing and interfered with the military command without authorization. He even expressed his sharp opposition to the young soldiers stepping on the minefield. What is the future of the country? These teenagers! This put them to death is simply consuming the foundation of Iran!

Fanatic religious beliefs are absolutely unable to resist the overwhelming rain of bullets. Wars require professional soldiers!

These words made Khomeini very disgusted, but he also knew that the defeats in these battles were related to the lack of grassroots command of the troops, and he still trusted Hashmian, so Hashmian was ordered in the face of danger, hoping to turn the tide.

Lieutenant General Hashmien, forty-five years old this year, is a senior military officer of the former government. He studied in Western military academies such as Western pastries for public expenses during the government of the Kingdom of Bavi Le, and had a deep attainment in strategic command. In terms of ability to command operations, he is probably second, and no one dares to be the first. At the same time, he has an extremely strong sense of state-centeredness. The army is the army of the people, not someone. No matter how the regime changes, the people will always need the protection of the army, and the gun of the army must not be in line.

Therefore, in the Islamic Revolution that broke out the previous year, he refused to obey the suggestions of the kingdom government to mobilize his subordinate troops to suppress the demonstrators. Because of this reason, Khomeini considered it a manifestation of current affairs. The emerging government retained his military rank, but deprived him of the power to command the battle.

Until now, he suffered several consecutive defeats, especially the capture of Abadan Port, Khomeini finally remembered this tiger general and activated him again.

After Hashmian accepted the mission, he also made a request to the great religious leader, releasing a large number of grassroots command forces to enrich the team.

What was placed in front of him was still a very difficult task. Khomeini collected him a chief tank armored brigade and an m60 armored brigade. There were only more than sixty chiefs and more than seventy m60 and more than fifty m113 armored vehicles. With these assault forces, it was impossible to complete the task to assault Abadan.

In addition to the armored troops, there are two infantry divisions, both of which are not fully equipped, with less than 20,000 people.

At that time, people who were twice as many as these people gathered, and were defeated by Iraq. Now, only half of them can achieve the predetermined strategic goals?

But Hashmian knew that he had no choice. However, he had another killer weapon: the Air Force.

Ashmian, who had studied at West Point Military Academy, was very dissatisfied with the original style of the Iranian army, but he was very impressed by Iraq's style of play.

Iraq's battle was abnormal, and the Air Force began to play the leading role, especially on the banks of the Karen River. Although the armored troops were surrounded by the opponent, the excellent chieftain tanks, if they fought with the Iraqis, were eventually defeated, but they could also greatly damage the strength of the Iraqis.

However, this scene did not appear at all.

The Iraqi air force repeatedly bombed and completely destroyed the armored forces, while the army basically swept the tail.

Hashmian knew that the other party's commander was a person who was well versed in modern military tactics. If he wanted to command the troops to succeed, he must be better at using all his power than the other party to engage in a modern war.

The primary factor is the Air Force. The last failure was due to the weak air force, which led to the loss of air supremacy, and ultimately led to the disastrous defeat of the Army Brothers.

And this time, you must gain an advantage in the air!

Hashmian is confident because with the efforts over the past few months, the Iranian Air Force's most powerful F-14 fighter jet has finally waited for accessories.

Although there were 79 Tomcats at the beginning, with the embargo of the United States, the number of able to take off was getting smaller and smaller. Many aircraft had to sigh to the sky just because they lacked a few parts. Last time, it even dropped to the lowest point, and only a dozen aircraft could fight.

The Iranian military is also working hard, especially some time ago, when it became involved in a relationship with an international weapon dealer. After all, it went through a lot of hardships and finally got a batch of accessories.

Now, the number of Tomcats that can take off and fight normally has increased to more than twenty.

In addition to defending the fighter jets left by important cities such as Tehran in the north, they are used for combat in the south. The Air Force can invest in the F-14 of two squadrons.

With these two squadrons of F-14, the Iranian Air Force can completely fight for air supremacy.

As long as the powerful F-14 fighter is put into cruise, even if there are no Immortal missiles, it can completely withstand Iraqi fighters with sparrows and rattlesnakes.

In addition to the F-14, Hashmian also obtained several squadrons of F-4 and F-5 fighter jets, which can all be mounted bombs and undertake the task of bombing local targets.

As for the ground, the armored troops were the pioneer, and the infantry division was behind, advancing towards Abadan. After seizing air supremacy, the air force would first bomb, and the army followed, and even if half of the casualties were paid, Abadan would be taken back.

Especially after adding a large number of middle-level officers and soldiers to the command, Hashmian believed that this battle would be more beautiful than ever.

However, during the process of the army's mobilization, the 35th Armored Division, who had been guarding Abadan, keenly discovered the enemy's movements. The division commander Mohammed immediately reported to the military region, and the military region reported to Zhang Feng again.

The clouds of war spread again on the front line of Abadan.
