~.-<  >-~    Chapter 415 Blitzkrieg, one day to fight Abadan! (Please subscribe)

News about the Southern War Zone has been continuously spread to Baghdad. In modern warfare, the situation changed suddenly. This time, the Iranian strike was so fierce that it was simply caught off guard.

Fortunately, the Southern Military Region resisted.

Kusai knew that the commanders in the front were most familiar with the specific situation. The senior commanders in the rear were inconvenient to point fingers at the frontline. What he needed to do was to make strategic plans, provide logistical support for the frontline, and lay the material foundation for their final victory.

However, after learning that the Iranian armored forces had emerged, everyone was shocked and once again expressed their admiration for His Excellency Kusai's vision.

The main direction of the Iranians is indeed neither Bakhtaran nor Avas and Khomeini Ports, but Abadan, a major petrochemical city!

In that open plain area, there is no danger to defend, Iran's armored cluster can attack the city of Abadan in one day.

The fourth armored division, ordered by His Excellency Kusai, set out from Baghdad, has now passed the province of Vasit and is entering the province of Misan. It is expected that it will arrive in Abadan in a day.

However, I am afraid that by then, the Fourth Armored Division will fight street battles with Iranian armored forces. This is not a good choice for armored forces with T-72 main battle tanks as the main force.

Then, only the actions of the Iranians were delayed.

However, what is even more terrible is that in the previous air strikes against the Iranians, almost all the fighter jets in the Southern Military Region took off to perform interception missions. Now, the results of the battle have been reported. In the process of shooting down more than 20 enemy aircraft, they also lost about eight, including four F-20s, three Phantom F1s, and one MiG-23.

Although the Air Force of the Southern Military Region has made great progress with its own support, it has not been able to take off again after returning from performing air-optimistic operations and turning to ground attacks. In addition, routine inspections after the plane landed, it was impossible to complete the flight again in less than three or four hours.

"Now, the situation in the south is not optimistic!" Adnan said.

"Yes. If the Iranian armored forces entered the downtown area of ​​Abadan, we would not be able to use air strikes. If we enter street fights with the Iranians, casualties would not be acceptable for us." Taha said.

Since Abadan has become the rear, because the oil industry needs a large amount of transportation power and because the front line has moved forward, Abadan has not constructed fortifications and has become a city with developed transportation.

This is very conducive to economic development, and this is also the previous plan of Kusai. When the front line moves forward, even the Port of Khomeini will undergo such transformation.

However, in the current stage of war, the defenders will be caught off guard, especially in the downtown area of ​​Abadan, where there is only one special brigade stationed and no heavy-equipped forces!

This special brigade mainly protects key areas and performs police-like missions. The armored forces are still far away in Port Khomeini and Avas.

However, if these reasons are released, Kusai's eyes will gradually lit up.

The Iranians' fighting intentions are very obvious. Before their reaction, they approached the city of Abadan and fought street battles with their own sides. There were many Iranians and were not afraid of death, but they could not stand it. After occupying the city of Abadan, they would hinder their own reinforcements, and the Port of Avas and Khomeini in the front would be gradually eroded by them.

They were bold enough for this combat plan, but they still had a great danger.

Because they didn't know that the Fourth Armored Division they sent was rushing to Abadan. As long as they could survive this day, they would be exposed to a plain that could not be defended. Moreover, they would go deep into the deepest forces of Avas and Khomeini, and would block their retreating roads. As many Iranians came, they would have to be wiped out by themselves!

Kusai had already made up his mind secretly.

"Report, call from the Southern Military Region."

"Remember." Kusai said.

"Our Southern Military Region has now crushed the conspiracy of Iran's air strike. Two bombs were hit in the city of Abadan, and the fire has been controlled. However, the Iranian armored troops have broken through my front line and are advancing rapidly towards Abadan. The situation in Abadan is very dangerous, but we will definitely defend Abadan and hope that the Fourth Armored Division can arrive as soon as possible."

Seeing this, Izart felt that he couldn't stand it anymore and asked for help from him.

Of course Izart could not stand it anymore. Iran's tank cluster was moving very fast. The 42nd Infantry Division on the plains was resolutely resisting, but the effect was very limited.

Hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles galloped on the plains, and this scene was very similar to the tank war during World War II.

The Iranians have a very good chance of appearing. Although their air force suffered heavy losses, it has created good conditions for the army.

Although there were armored troops stationed in Avas and Khomeini Ports, they were frustrated by the besieged Iranian army. When they learned that the Iranian armored troops had arrived, the Iranians had already crossed their defense zone before they could react.

This speed is probably comparable to that of the blitzkrieg advocated by Hitler in World War II.

After landing, Iraq's fighter jets were immediately ready to remount ground attack weapons, hoping to stop the Iranian armored troops from moving forward.

However, in the air battle just now, in addition to the few lost fighters, there were several other fighters with mechanical failures, with less than ten fighters. After refueling, the Maverick missile or multi-barrel rocket launch nest that was mounted to the ground attack took off again, the rest needed to undergo more or less maintenance.

For daily air defense operations, more than a dozen aircraft are enough, but for large-scale tank cluster charges of hundreds of vehicles, these fighters are only a drop in the bucket.

The Air Force is not enough to kill and injure the opponent on a large scale, and the Army cannot get out of it. The Basra area has long been empty, so Izart can only ask for instructions from the higher authorities.

Although he said that Abadan city would definitely be able to defend it, the meaning in the telegram was already very obvious.

Kusai knew that what the Southern Military Region lacked now is time.

Then, let the Air Force of the Northern Military Region give them this time!

"General Abid, the Air Force of the Northern Military Region, should be ready, right?" Kusai asked.

"Yes, we firmly complete the task you gave it!"

"Take off the fighter jets from our northern military region, go south to support Abadan, and strike the Iranian soldiers who are advancing wildly on the plains!" Kusai said.

"yes!"

Although the Northern Air Force's fighter jets are not very advanced, it is still possible to complete the mission by attacking Iranian tanks on the ground and delaying their operations?

"Reported that in the eastern part of Bakhtaran, a large number of Iranian aircraft clusters appeared. The Air Force Department speculated that they were likely to bomb the Bakhtaran area, or even the Baghdad area." At this time, a staff officer suddenly came in to report.

How could the Iranian air force suddenly become so powerful? Where did they come from so many fighter planes? Kusai was so angry that he couldn't care about it now. When the war was over, he had to protest with Tu Jida and the Chinese ambassador to Iraq!

Although the performance of the Chinese J-7 is not very powerful, it is also a mobile and flexible aircraft. Moreover, it is cheap and can be equipped in large quantities. If the Iranian Air Force is equipped with a large number of such fighter jets and traveling around the Iraqi airspace from time to time, it will be a headache!

Protest, you must protest, and find a countermeasure! Kusai made up his mind. Kusai knew that although he was in that country in his previous life, now he is the ruler of Iraq and must place Iraq's interests in the most important position. There are only eternal interests between countries!

The safety over Baghdad is even more important, and the scenes in the Southern Military Region are not at stake for the time being.

"Let the 42nd Infantry Division of the Southern Military Region be held for one day, and the 11th Special Brigade stationed at Abadan must also be insisted, and order the 4th Armored Division to speed up. Before dark, they must arrive at Abadan!" Kusai said. "At the same time, let the armed helicopter units stationed at Khomeini Port support the battle of the 42nd Infantry Division from behind."

The commander of the Iranian armored forces, Mohamed Dust, stood in the turret of a 69 tank, opened the hatch and looked at his troops, advancing forward at full speed.

The soil stirred by the tracks forms two ruts behind the tank. This plain location is most suitable for armored troops to charge. The 69 tank produced in China is strong and durable and has good adaptability in this weather.

After drilling out of the mountainous area, they almost suffered any major blows and got closer to the plain. Their current mission was only one, that is, to quickly occupy Abadan!

In the distance, there was a pile of fire burning, which was the trace of the burning of an Air Force fighter plane after the crash. The Air Force made great sacrifices this time and they also gained valuable opportunities.

The rolling armored torrent was advancing forward, with 69 tanks and Type 63 armored vehicles as the main force, followed by a motorized infantry division with off-road vehicles as the main tool.

"Note, air strike!" At this time, the voices of the company commanders of several self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery units that accompanied them came from the radio.

After landing back to Basra Air Force Base, Arslan checked the fighter's planes through ground crews to check that there was no problem. He urgently carried four Mavericks air-to-ground missiles and two short-range rattlesnake missiles. After refueling, he completed the preparation for another dispatch.

His wingman fighter jet has malfunctioned and needs to be repaired.

Arslan and several other F-20 fighter jets that had completed bombings gathered together to take off again, preparing to carry out the bombing mission.

This kind of Maverick air-to-ground missile is just tailor-made to deal with armored targets on the ground!

Looking at the TV screen appearing on the multi-function monitor on the right, Arslan trapped a tank with a tank, and then pressed the launch button.

On the composite hanger, a Maverick TV guided missile flew away from the launcher and rushed towards the tank on the ground.
