The strong resistance of the Iraqis made the raided Iranian army very difficult.

From the early morning to now, it has been six hours since the battle. The infantry regiment in the front has consumed most of the time, and the Revolutionary Guards have also killed thousands of people. This does not include the teenagers who stepped on the blasting field in the front, but it has not repelled the Iraqis.

This disappointed Lieutenant General Hassan, who was in charge of the command. He had expected this raid to play a role in turning the situation around, but he did not expect that the fight would be so difficult.

He had no other way. Only by defeating Abadan's Iraqi army could he rescue Abadan. This was an important battle, and he could only succeed, not fail!

All the troops were transferred up. All he could do now was to wait for good news from the front line.

Suddenly, a noise came from outside his command center.

"Who? Don't you know the military discipline?" Hassan shouted.

Suddenly, he was stunned. Isn’t the person walking in front of him the spiritual leader of the great Iranian people and the idol of everyone, Khomeini? Isn’t he in Tehran?

"Welcome to the front line to inspect!" Hassan said.

"Well, I heard that the fight here is very fierce. I'll take a look at the soldiers." Khomeini said.

"Yes, we fought very fiercely, but the victory will definitely belong to us. The Iraqis on the opposite side are almost unable to resist." Hassan said excitedly.

"Well, you continue to command." Khomeini knew that although he was a political and spiritual leader, his military command ability was not outstanding. He came here for only one purpose: to boost the morale of the army!

I heard that the spiritual leader Khomeini came to the command center by the Bahamshar River in person, and behind him, all the Iranian soldiers, like crazy, launched a desperate attack.

"Long live Khomeini! Long live Iran!"

In the high slogan, they braved the rain of bullets and rushed forward, and the machine guns in front and the mortar shells exploded around them could not stop their belief in moving forward. Now, they are all fighting with no life.

One fell down, the other would come up, and one fired a rocket, but it didn't hit, and the other would follow up and make up a shot. A machine gun position wiped out ten rocket operators who rushed up, but were hit by rockets shot from another angle.

The Persians are crazy!

Under this powerful offensive, Iraq's front began to gradually shrink, and they could no longer withstand it.

Aware of this phenomenon, the defenders who had been in Abadan City for nearly a year finally received the order from the commander-in-chief. They gathered together and attacked fiercely at the rear of the Iraqi army that was resisting the siege outside!

Listening to the gunshots coming from behind, Karma knew that the defenders in the city had finally come out.

My own resistance was not in vain. From yesterday to now, the 10th Armored Division has lost more than 30 tanks and hundreds of soldiers. Their sacrifices are valuable. If they enter Abadan to conduct street fighting, their division will probably not be able to be defeated even if they are wiped out.

Since the opponent has been dispatched, even if the task of seducing the enemy has been completed, the next one is to successfully withdraw at the minimum cost.

Retreat is also a great subject. If you retreat casually without restrictions, it will eventually turn into a retreat.

Karma issued the first order: the two tank brigades were dispatched immediately and fought a counterattack against the enemies approaching from both sides!

The division's artillery regiment fired all the shells out!

The Iranian infantry in front, inspired by Khomeini, burst out with strong combat power. They looked at the Iraqi soldiers in front and had already begun to retreat. They were about to rush forward, but they saw smoke and dust rolling behind the other side's position.

The opponent's tank is coming!

At this time, the Chieftain tank was already in a state of oil disconnection because it had been driving overnight, so it returned to the rear to refuel.

Taking advantage of this gap, the Iraqi tank brigade rushed up.

The tank gun of T-62 emitted a deafening roar, and one grenade came out of the 115mm tank barrel, mercilessly blowing the Iranian soldiers into the sky.

At the same time, countless shells flew from the sky, exploding around the charge of Iranian soldiers. Each shell would take away the lives of several soldiers.

The front line that strangled each other has now become a bloody meat grinder.

"Quick, rocket!" said an Iranian company commander crawling in a crater. The soldier behind him had fired a rocket, but he had not hit it.

The soldiers behind him handed over the rocket. He quickly installed it on the rocket launcher, stood up suddenly, aimed, and fired at the tank hundreds of meters away from him!

"Boom!" The tank turret was penetrated from the side, causing a terrible ammunition explosion, lifting the entire turret flying.

I've hit it!

"Come on, come another one." The company commander shouted.

There was no movement behind him.

He looked back and saw that the soldier who had just handed him a rocket had already been blown off, and behind him was bloody. He climbed over a few meters away and sent him a rocket.

The company commander glanced at his soldier, got up, and prepared to run over to get the rockets.

"TuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTu

The defenders who came out of Abadan had a total of one infantry division and one infantry brigade. Under the cover of more than a dozen m48 tanks and more than thirty m113 infantry fighting vehicles, they rushed towards the Iraqi front line.

In the Iranian army, only the most elite army can be equipped with British chief tanks with 120mm caliber artillery, the old American m48 tanks, and they are still in service in the Iranian army. However, their models are all the latest m48a5.

Compared with the previous models, the m48a5 increases the engine power to 750 horsepower and the main gun caliber increases from 90 mm to 105 mm. Although it cannot be compared with the 120 mm chief, the performance is no less than the Iraqi-equipped T-62. Moreover, the aiming device including an active infrared night vision device, a mechanical ballistic computer and an imaging optical rangefinder is installed to shoot the target, and the accuracy is very high.

They were like a knife, shattering the Iraqi front line.

The m48 tank kept firing shells, and each shell would overturn the opponent's fortifications.

Although minefields and other fortifications were arranged on the periphery, there were no such fortifications facing Abadan, because the Iraqi army was going to attack the city. If landmines were arranged in front, it would affect its own attack.

This also facilitates the defenders in the city. Under the cover of tanks, the machine gun bunkers and other machines have been knocked out by tanks. They just need to rush forward, kill the troops that have besieged them for nearly a year, and completely wipe out the Iraqis. This is their greatest wish.

They have an absolute advantage.

Suddenly, Iraqi tanks appeared in front of them!

"One thousand five meters ahead, at six o'clock, there is an armor-piercing bomb!" The captain of the m48 tank said calmly.

I just shot fortifications and used grenades, but now I have to replace them with armor-piercing bullets.

The loader immediately replaced the grenade in his hand, carried an armor-piercing bullet, and stuffed it into the cannon chamber.

"One thousand two hundred meters, ready to aim." The commander shouted.

"Boom!" The m48 tank trembled, and an armor-piercing bomb shot towards the opponent's tank.

The battle is in full swing.

In order to allow the soldiers of the Mechanical Infantry Brigade who were fighting on the position to retreat as planned, Karma had to let the armored brigade go out to withstand the opponent's fierce attack, the soldiers began to board the Type 63 armored vehicles in an orderly manner.

The reason why the 10th Armored Division was chosen to undertake this mission was because the Armored Division acted quickly. Within 20 minutes, the soldiers who were still fighting had already boarded the armored vehicle and "escaped" to the west.

After all the officers and soldiers of the Aircraft and Infantry Brigade began to retreat, the two tank brigades completed the cover mission.

At this time, in the main attack direction of the Iranians, the chief tank had completed refueling and rushed forward again.

They wanted to use the chief's powerful main gun to teach Iraqi tank soldiers a lifelong lesson.

Unexpectedly, they lost everything and the other party ran away!
