Chapter 49 Preparation

It was already dark, and the ch-47 chinensis was pulled from the dry land, and it was lightly like a hawk, flying away from the base of Avas.

At this time, the big belly of ch-47 was filled with fuel and ammunition that the armored division urgently needed.

Without fuel, tanks are just decorations. Without ammunition, tanks can only choose to escape.

The afternoon battle and ammunition consumption were also very large.

The chief tank's ammunition base is 64 rounds, but because this time the mission is to assault the rear of the Iraqi army, half of the shells are grenades, which is the first choice for charge to break through the opponent's defense line.

However, unexpectedly, in the swamp, the tank war broke out by the opponent's tank brigade.

Grenades are ammunition that contains violent ammunition, which relies on the fragments generated during explosion and the energy generated by explosion to kill and destructive effects. It is a killer weapon against infantry and can also pose a part of the threat to deal with fortifications. However, when dealing with tanks, you will have the will but not enough strength.

When dealing with tanks, the main type of ammunition is the shell-removing tail wing stable armor-piercing bomb. Each tank has only 20 rounds, and the rest is the armor-piercing bomb. Practice has proved that armor-piercing bombs cannot deal with T-62, and only armor-piercing bombs are best used.

Therefore, the ammunition transported this time was mainly armor-piercing ammunition used by the Chieftain's tank's 120mm rifled gun.

In addition to tank shells, some 155mm shells of m109a1 self-propelled howitzer were also transported.

The fate of this self-propelled howitzer was even more tragic. In 1979, Iran imported 440 m109a1 self-propelled howitzer from the United States to equip several domestic armored divisions and provide fire cover.

The m109a1 self-propelled howitzer is a 39-caliber tube, 155 mm caliber, and a large howitzer. This weapon is mainly used to accompany the armored group, with a maximum range of 18 kilometers and provides long-range fire assistance.

This time, when I followed the armored division into the swamp, there was a battalion of self-propelled howitzers, but the swamp was obviously a big test for self-propelled howitzers with worse mobility.

In order to pass through the swamp, one must reduce its weight. Therefore, although the self-propelled howitzers followed, they did not carry shells. Each shell was about 50 kilograms, which could reduce the weight of one and a half tons by carrying 30 shells, which would be of great help to pass through the swamps.

As a result, before these shells were loaded onto the self-propelled howitzer, they were all lit in the supply base.

Otherwise, in the daytime battle, although the self-propelled howitzers were placed behind, with their long range, they were enough to send all the opponent's armored vehicles to the sky, greatly reducing their positive pressure.

Rajavi stood beside the command car and listened to the huge roar in the distance.

In the low light night vision camera, the pilots of the ch-47 aircraft group had already seen a row of parked vehicles in the distance. After radio confirmation, they airborne in a suitable place and unloaded the supplies they carried.

All the soldiers ran over to help, and in the wind of the helicopter rotor, they carried the oil pot on it and ran towards their chief.

As long as the chief is filled with oil and ammunition, the chief is still a powerful weapon!

The pilots of the helicopter were all very nervous because, before they set out, they received a news that the last two cobras that were responsible for covering them had been shot down, and they could only rely on themselves. If they encountered any attack, it might be a disaster.

God knows what cobras were shot down. If there were Iraqi female deer here, who would have risked the night to attack themselves quietly?

But the soldiers took obedience to orders as their duty. In order to save the armored division, they had no choice but to take Chinooka on them.

Rajavi looked at the busy soldiers, then at the stars in the sky, thinking about the soldiers who died in the battle today, and was in a very complicated mood. All-powerful Allah, please bless Iran, a disaster-stricken country!

Baghdad, Presidential Palace.

"His Excellency President, although Kusai is young, he is very smart. Although we have not found him, we still haven't found his body?" said Adnan Helala and Saddam.

Adnan is Kusai's uncle, but he is Iraq's Minister of Defense and head of military security. After learning about the Southern Military Region, he immediately came to see Saddam and reported to him.

"Yes, I didn't expect that although Kusai was young, he did so many major things. When he said he wanted to go to the Southern Military Region, I agreed. He went to the Southern Military Region and did not stay at the headquarters, but went to the Susangild swamp, which could not be a battlefield. As a result, the Iranians actually came from the swamp." Saddam sighed: "Kusai is worthy of being my good son. If he hadn't been to the 35th Armored Brigade, the brigade was resting and would not have been vigilant, and would not have successfully blocked the Iranians in the swamp. If the Iranians succeeded, we would have fallen into a great passive."

As a president of a country, especially a president with many strong desires, Saddam knows that now is not the time to consider personal feelings. Even if Kusai dies, he will still be honored even if he dies!

Adnan looked at the map on the wall and felt deeply touched. Who would have thought that the Iranians actually chose to appear in a place that was absolutely impossible. If the 35th Armored Brigade did not block it and the Iranians rushed in, they would stab behind more than a dozen divisions besieging Abadan. These troops were caught off guard, and the results achieved in more than a year would probably be gone.

In the battle report ahead, the 35th Brigade fought over half of the tank troops, but finally successfully blocked the Iranians' pace. The 35th Brigade made great achievements!

"What's the Air Force doing? Are you ready for the attack?" Saddam asked dissatisfied.

Major General Abid immediately sweated and said, "His Excellency President, when the Iranians were discovered, the fighter jets at our Basra Air Force Base were under maintenance. The combat duty was a MiG-21 fighter squadron. They were powerless to deal with tanks on the ground. Most of the female deer armed helicopters are in the Abadan area. Three squadrons of female deer helicopters are currently mobilizing three squadrons of female deer helicopters to prepare to assist the Susangild swamp area. At the same time, the number of ground bombs required by the Su-20 is insufficient and is being transported by the headquarters. Tomorrow morning, the Air Force will definitely dispatch and report the combat plan to the President."

"What's wrong with the MiG-21? Isn't MiG-21 equipped with missiles? Can't use missiles to hit tanks? It's just a fear of war! Also, there are only three squadrons of female deer? It's not enough. I'll transfer 6 squadrons to pass. Tomorrow morning, take off MiG-25, MiG-23 and Su-20 to deal with the Iranian tanks and execute orders." Saddam said.

Abid replied immediately without any hesitation: "Yes, Your Excellency the President."

Saddam never believed in the Air Force, and he had another problem. Like a mustache, he liked to point fingers at the specific tactics of the army. However, his level was not good, and commanding the army was OK, but he didn't understand the Air Force at all. As a result, the Air Force was timid and did nothing at all.

The MiG-21 has missiles, but it is air-to-air missiles, and it is a tank attack? I'm afraid only the President can think of it? The MiG-25 is a high-altitude high-speed fighter. What should you do with this kind of fighter to the swamp?

Abid dared not say much. He didn't want to be cleaned up for no reason. He should modify the combat plan overnight.
