Chapter 422 Protecting Avas

A 69 tank was slowly advancing on the plains east of Avas. Although the tank was the same as the 69 exported by China, it had a round turret, five load-bearing wheels, and added side skirts, but looking closely, there were still many differences.

At the rear of the tank, an additional round thing was added, which was an additional fuel tank. The cannon smoking device was not at the muzzle, and the position of the sighting equipment was very different. This was the improved Type 69 tank of the Southern Iraq Military Region, equipped in the 60th Armored Division.

The 60th Panzer Division has also been an armored division with 69 tanks in the entire division. Its combat effectiveness can be said to be second only to the 35th Ace Division, which is the starting force of Lord Kusai. However, among the 35th Division, the most powerful armored regiment has been transferred to the north, so it can be said that in the current Southern Military Region, the 60th Panzer Division is a resounding force.

However, their defensive tasks are also the most important. Not only the city of Avas, but also the large oil fields around Avas are their defense areas, and there are plains around it, and there is no danger to defend. The soldiers of the 96th Infantry Brigade cannot defend it simply by relying on fortifications. Therefore, they used infantry construction fortifications, armored troops to patrol continuously, and quickly maneuver, and defeated the Iranian attacks repeatedly.

However, the Iranians are very cunning. After a few tests, they no longer attack on a large scale. Instead, they take advantage of the shortcomings of the defenses' shortcomings of the vast defense area and insufficient troops to attack everywhere. When encountering areas with tight defenses, they will fight and run away. If they encounter areas with weak defenses, the harassment will become a formal offensive. Before the reinforcements arrive, they have eliminated the defenders and then retreated quickly. This tactic makes more defenders than the Iranians tired of dealing with them.

Although the 60th Armored Division and the 96th Infantry Brigade guarded Awas, they had to separate some troops to guard the city, and the area of ​​the oil field was so vast that their troops were too short. Therefore, when the Iranian armored clusters quickly interspered and attacked, they could not divide their troops to deal with this army, because the oil field they defended was also very important. Under the restraint of the Iranian troops, they had no spare energy.

Iran has tried its best to deal with the Southern Military Region. The cooperation between the Air Force and the Army has indeed made the Southern Military Region unbearable.

Otherwise, although the 60th Armored Division is equipped with 69 tanks and the Iranian offensive forces are also 69 tanks, 69 and 69 are different. They have been equipped with Western fire control systems and main guns, and they have considerable tactical advantages when dealing with Iranian 69 tanks, especially if it is at night, the advantages of infrared imaging sighting equipment are more obvious.

There were a few stars in the sky, and the surroundings were not very dark. The wild grass made a rustling sound under the majesty. In a puddle filled with weeds, several Iranian soldiers were hiding inside the puddle.

The 69 tanks remained highly vigilant. While moving slowly, the turret was constantly turning around, scanning everything around. The captain's eyes were staring at the infrared imaging sighting equipment and observing everything outside. This was their defense zone, and they had to make sure that there were no Iranians here, especially at such nights.

The ubiquitous Iranians always like to launch sneak attacks and sabotage at this time. They cannot let the Iranian conspiracy succeed.

It is already late spring, and the day is already very hot, but it is still very cool at night. Since the heat absorption and heat release speed of different objects is different, the infrared rays they release are different. In the night vision device, this behavior is very clear. Those that are a little shiny are stones and those that are dark are the land. If there is someone, since the temperature of the human body is much higher than the surrounding environment, it is easy to be searched out by them, even if the other party hides in the grass, they will be found.

Compared to daytime, nighttime is more beneficial to them. They have used this method to eliminate the Iranians several times. When the machine gun bullets killed all the Iranians who attacked them, the captain was a little excited.

The tank rumbled over, everything was normal here, nothing was discovered.

Listening to the sound of the tank passing by, the Iranian soldiers in the puddle suddenly stood up from the water. Their bodies were full of virginity and their lips were a little purple. However, only in this way could they avoid Iraqi tanks. After their bodies were immersed in the water, the water covered the temperature of their bodies and deceived the other party's night vision device.

Two of the soldiers had two rocket launchers on their shoulders. The two were aiming quickly. After a few seconds, they pulled the trigger. After a firelight, two rockets flew towards the tank, one in front and one behind.

When they aim, they plan to strike the front and back separately. In this way, no matter whether the other party discovers it, they cannot avoid one of the rockets.

The firelight when the rocket was fired brightened the background. Although the infrared imaging night vision device did not aim directly here, the captain in the 69 tank also knew that the situation was not good, and there were Iranians attacking it!

"Quick, speed up!" the chariot shouted. Dodge the rocket's attack, that is, to move immediately, and immediately the opponent's expected hit point before the rocket arrives.

I just scanned this area and it is clearly safe. Where did the Iranians get out of?

Hearing the commander's order, the driver also knew that the situation was critical, so he immediately stepped on the accelerator and hung on the high-end one.

The tank was like a hungry lion rushing to eat, and suddenly increased its speed. Countless black smoke came out from the exhaust pipe at the rear, and the collision sounds of gears in the gearbox were vaguely heard. Tanks from China had no other advantage, but their durability!

Fortunately, because they accelerated very quickly, they aimed at the rocket behind and did not hit the target, and the tank had already left there.

The rocket that was originally aiming at the front also deviated from its original bounce point and shot towards the back.

This is also expected. The reason they used two rockets to shoot together was to make the opponent's tanks hit the target, whether they accelerate or brake.

If the front armor is shot, then, since the front armor of the 69 tank is relatively thick, it is not a problem to get a rocket, but the one behind it will not work.

The rear armor is the thinnest, and the engine is covered with an engine and there is ammunition in the front of the engine. As long as it hits, it will explode in a fire.

The tank hands in the car body heard a crisp collision sound, which was very violent, and they were stunned. Perhaps, the next moment, they would feel a metal heat flowing in, igniting the shells around them, and even the fire extinguishing system could not withstand such impact.

The rocket uses an energy-concentrating warhead, which makes the high-explosion ** into a concave shape. The energy of the explosion during detonation gathers at one point due to the "energy-concentrating effect", forging the rocket's metal shell into a metal fluid with extremely high temperature and pressure, thereby breaking through the armor, killing the personnel in it, and destroying the equipment in it.

They were waiting for the last moment to arrive, and even the driver released the accelerator and was hit. What did they run?

The rocket accurately hit the tank and began its last blow, its energy-gathering warhead, ready to drill out the opponent's armor.

However, it had not tried hard yet, but found that it had completely penetrated the armor. Is the opponent's armor so thin?

If the rocket is wise, then it will definitely regret not seeing the target clearly just now. It did not hit the tank's armor, but hit the additional fuel tank behind it!

There was no oil in the additional fuel tank, so it was a coincidence that it was absolutely a coincidence that the omnipotent Allah was blessing the righteous Iraqi army!

The tankers in the car found themselves safe and were not injured, and immediately began to counterattack, rotating the turret, and 7.62mm bullets of the machine gun were spewing out flames, squirting sparks from the place where the rocket was just launched. Several Iranian soldiers all fell down.

Small-scale battles were constantly staged on several battlefields, Avas, Port Khomeini, and Bachtalan.

Abadan is very important. It is the main petrochemical base in Iraq, and Abashi is also very important. The oil fields near Abashi are the place to provide Abadan with a stable source of crude oil. Abadan refinery can start production at full speed and can continuously create benefits.

Therefore, the troops in Avas were always defending and did not launch a counterattack. They kept fighting against the harassment of the Iranians, but they had no effect.

However, the situation finally began to change. As the battle progressed, with the timely arrival of the Fourth Armored Division at Abadan, it completely annihilated Iran's offensive forces, and Iraq's full-on counterattack slowly began.

Baghdad has sent instructions: to attack the whole line and drive the Iranians out of the plains completely. The troops must occupy the eastern mountainous areas and move the defense line forward. We can no longer let the Iranians attack such tricks from the mountainous areas.

After being harassed for so many days, the 60th Armored Division can finally be proud. With the victory of the Fourth Armored Division, after the Fourth Armored Division advanced to the Port of Avas-Khomeini, the defenders of Port of Khomeini and Avas can finally free up their hands to completely clear out the Iranian army that harassed itself.

What they are waiting for now is the arrival of the Fourth Armored Division. The Iranians who were sneaking into their attacks around them will be arrogant for a few more days. Anyway, they will not be able to jump for a few days.
