Chapter 418 Hold the Iranian Armored Forces!

Along Highway Six next to the Arab River, the Fourth Armored Division was moving rapidly.

They were originally marching on the river bank. After receiving the order to speed up, the commander of the 4th Armored Division, Ahmadi Avatar, immediately ordered the troops to sail on Highway No. 6...

Originally, in this kind of marching, heavy equipment was needed to be dragged to the border with a tow truck. However, in the rebellion to wipe out the north, the trailers equipped by the Fourth Armored Division had already participated in the mission of transporting other brother troops to the north, and remained in Mosul and could not return immediately.

Therefore, the Fourth Armored Division had to start fighting vehicles and go to the south by maneuvering. The bmp1 infantry fighting vehicles and various other vehicles were OK, but the T72 main battle tanks in the Armored Division were definitely fuel-consuming guys, so the logistics vehicles in the division were also advanced with the troops.

In Saleh Fort, the armored cluster refueled again, but the two refuels delayed a lot. Faced with the urgent war ahead, Ahmadi finally made the decision to drive along the highway.

Although various armored vehicles use rubber tracks, some of the rubber pads have fallen off after several years of use, so if you drive directly onto the highway, the entire division's equipment will cause great harm to the highway.

The military situation was so hot that they couldn't wait for too long, so they had to drive the tanks onto the road and run quickly.

A t72 tank drove up from the edge of the road on the side, and then the track on the left stopped rotating, and the track on the right continued to rotate. The body came straight over, but there was immediately a noticeable asphalt on the road on the edge of the track on the left.

No matter how strong the road surface is, it cannot withstand the tossing of these big guys.

Then, the second and third cars were driving on the road and continuing to head south.

In addition to the possible damage to the road surface when driving on the road, there is another one, which is that it is easy to be discovered by planes in the sky. Therefore, the four-pipe self-propelled anti-aircraft guns of the division have been deployed during their walking process. Air defense operations can be carried out at any time.

Although Iran's air force is exhausted, it still needs to prevent the possibility of encountering sporadic enemy aircraft.

The Fourth Armored Division arrived at the battlefield one minute earlier, which could reduce casualties of the 42nd Division.

After Jafri used a recoilless cannon to kill an Iranian tank again, his position had been exposed.

The Iranian armored cluster has received news. Iraqi infantry are using recoilless cannons to pose a threat to them, so they are very vigilant.

Seeing the flames appear on the side, they immediately used machine guns and fired frantically at the location where Jafri was.

Jiafuri was shot a few times and fell down unwillingly.

Such scenes are happening everywhere.

"Terminal Commander, our gunners suffered heavy losses." said a staff officer in the division command. "But the Iranian armored forces are still attacking."

"Current our bazooka and we must stop the Iranian attack!" Division Commander Majid said firmly.

Looking at the commander's order, others knew that if anyone suggested retreating now, the commander might shoot him immediately.

No matter how much the entire division pays, it must complete the task of the command center!

The soldiers of the Forty-Two Infantry Division were using their flesh and blood to resist the opponent's armor torrent. They killed more than a dozen tanks and more than twenty armored vehicles, but they still could not delay the operation of the Iranian armored group.

The bullets fired frantically on tanks and armored vehicles were dangerous to get close to each other within a thousand meters. Only by hiding in the direction of the other party’s advance can one have the chance to kill one, but they will be killed by the Iranians as they follow them.

The casualties of the Forty-Second Division are getting bigger and bigger.

Just after four o'clock in the afternoon, the forward of the Iranian armored cluster finally approached the periphery of Abadan. Here was a line of defense that was hurriedly built by the Forty-Second Infantry Division and the 11th Special Brigade.

The best way for infantry to fight armored forces is to put the opponent into the city and fight street battles, but Iranians must not be allowed to enter Abadan. Otherwise, if a few tanks bombard him, the losses of the Abadan oil refinery will be huge, and Iraq's financial source will be a big loss.

They could only wait on the periphery and persevere. Even if they died to the last person in battle, they had to wait until their reinforcements arrived!

Even the division commander Ma Jide personally went to the defense line to boost morale. He knew that the biggest test for the 42nd Division had finally arrived.

The land was dug into trenches, and they could go deep into the front, use a rocket launcher to strike tanks, and then retreat. However, due to the tight time, the trenches were not very deep and the distance was not long enough, so their battle would be very tragic.

Looking at the shadows appearing on the horizon, the soldiers of the 42nd Division had just blushed, and the words of the superiors scolding flashed in their minds.

"Behind us is our Abadan. Everything there is captured under the command of our great Lord Kusai himself. It is the sign of our victory over Khomeini! Now, the abominable Persians are unwilling to fail. They have always wanted to use the export revolution to deal with us. This is absolutely unacceptable to us! Take up your weapons and fight bravely, and don't embarrass Your Lord Kusai!"

Your Excellency Kusai, in the Southern Military Region, it is a god-like existence. Everyone knows that Your Excellency Kusai has fought in person and experienced many dangers. Even Your Excellency Kusai can fight bravely without fear of sacrifice. He is an ordinary Iraqi warrior, and he should fight without hesitation!

When it comes to Kusai, everyone is burning in their hearts, and they are full of fighting spirit!

Although Majid was very determined, he had looked at his watch several times. The later the Fourth Armored Division came, the more casualties his division would be.

If you don’t care about the lives of your subordinates, you are definitely not a qualified commander, but now it’s time for the bayonet to become popular!

Looking at the torrent coming up, Majid knew that the most tragic battle was about to begin.

Even if you hit it to the end, you must fry it with a ** bag and tie it into bundles with grenades, and you must stick to it!

Tanks, as the king of land warfare, are very imposing in clusters of charges. If they have no resistance, the momentum alone will crush the infantry from the spirit.

Feeling the slight vibration from the ground, some new recruits began to turn pale.

It is impossible for a person who is on the battlefield for the first time to say that he is not afraid of death from the heart. Only veterans who have crawled back from the edge of countless life and death will not take death seriously. The more afraid of death, the easier it is to die. On the contrary, if he is not afraid of death and moves forward bravely, he may be able to survive.

Knowing that the forward was approaching Abadan's edge, Mohamed, the commander of the Iranian armored forces, was very happy and gave the order to speed up the troops.

Before dark, you can enter Abadan city!

At this moment, a situation that he did not expect happened, completely shattering his dream.

In Port Khomeini, a large group of armed helicopter units stationed in Iraq. After receiving the order, they immediately hung up bullets and prepared to take off.

However, time was still delayed. When they completed their preparations and set out to attack the Iranian armored forces, the Iranian Air Force's fighter jets flew in the second time and engaged in fierce air battles with their own fighters.

Helicopters cannot compete with fixed-wing aircraft, and the Mi24 helicopter formation has to lower the altitude, fly from the ground at an ultra-low altitude, and rush to the battlefield.

On the hangers on both sides of Mi24, two UV3257 rocket launchers and two At2 "fly swatter" anti-tank missiles were mounted, which are typical combat equipment for the armored group.

Looking at the charge of hundreds of armored groups like locusts on the ground, the pilots of the Mi24 helicopter began their hunting operation.

A Mi24 flew to the outside of the flank of the armored forces at a very low altitude, pulled it up suddenly, and then lowered the nose. Rockets rushed one by one among the multiple rocket launchers on both sides. Each rocket launcher had 32 57mm rockets. Although these rockets could not penetrate the front armor of the tank, there was still a certain chance of launching from a high place to hit the weak top of the tank.

However, when dealing with tanks, armed helicopters still like to use anti-tank missiles. The rockets fired just now are used to deal with armored vehicles.

The dense rain of rockets in the sky rushed towards the armored forces on the ground like a god of death.

The armor thickness of an armored vehicle can only withstand the shooting of large-caliber rifle bullets at most, and is very fragile to the attack of rockets.

The armored vehicle attacked by rockets was immediately shot and caught fire.

At this time, Iran's armored troops reacted and were sneak attacked by Iraqi armed helicopters!

Suddenly, all the air-to-air firepower, the anti-aircraft machine guns on each vehicle, and the special self-propelled anti-aircraft guns opened fire into the sky, and the scene was in chaos.

However, with its good maneuverability, Mi24 kept dodging and launched its carrying anti-tank missiles.

Iran's armored forces were very embarrassed by the sudden emergence of the armed helicopter unit, but their losses were not very large because the number of armed helicopters was too small.

This time, only eleven Mi24 were flying. Even if all missiles hit the opponent, they could only kill more than 40 tanks and could not completely destroy the power of the armored troops. What's more, in this fierce battle, the missile's hit rate would not exceed 50%.

Moreover, during the attack, a helicopter broke out of control and crashed to the ground due to operational errors, and two pilots died.

However, the participation of the Mi24 helicopter in the war delayed the operation of Iran's armored forces. (To be continued...)
