The machine gunner was a little numb. All the enemies were so tenacious. The more they fought, the more frightened they became.
An army that voluntarily dies is terrible.
Then, another infantry company of the regular army came up.
They have all undergone strict training, and although their company commander has just been released from prison as a purge target, he is still full of love for Iran, the motherland, so he is very concerned about the invading Iraqi army. , full of hatred.
If it hadn't been for the invasion of Iraq, he would probably have been wiped out. Now, when he came back again, it was Iraqi who saved his life.
Of course, he didn't think so. Seeing the ferocity of the opponent's firepower, he immediately ordered the soldiers to crawl forward, go around the side of the opponent's position, and kill the opponent with a rocket launcher!
The machine gunner was already tired, and many corpses that fell on the ground could still show faint shadows in the night vision goggles due to their body temperature. Therefore, the machine gunner did not notice that some green shadows on the ground were moving slowly.
Suddenly, a green shadow jumped up, and then, a burst of fire flew over.
Bazooka!
The machine gunners were shocked, their only instinct was to jump away quickly and lie down.
"Boom!" The rocket exploded accurately at the position of the machine gun, blowing the heavy machine gun into scrap iron.
The fighting continued until dawn, and the Tenth Armored Division had suffered heavy losses.
The division commander Kalma strictly implemented the plan formulated by the military region. When the defenders in Abadan came out, they could retreat.
And Abadan's defenders would only come out of the city when they were at their weakest. Under the attack of the two, they would definitely be "defeated".
Kalmar knew that he had to resist.
Chapter 79 "Rout"
Chapter 79 "Rout"——
The strong resistance of the Iraqis made the raiding Iranian army feel very strenuous.
It has been fighting for a full six hours from early morning to now. The infantry regiment in the front has been consumed by more than half, and the Revolutionary Guards have also killed thousands of people. This does not include the teenagers who stepped on the minefield at the front. Did not fight back the Iraqis.
This disappointed Lieutenant General Hassan, who was in charge of the command. He had expected that this surprise attack would be able to turn things around, but he did not expect it to be so difficult.
He has no other choice but to defeat Abadan's Iraqi army in order to rescue Abadan. This is an important battle that can only be successful, not failed!
All the troops have been mobilized. All he can do now is to wait for the good news from the front line.
Suddenly, outside his headquarters, there was a burst of noise.
"Who? Don't you know 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 everyone's idol, Khomeini?Isn't he in Tehran?
"Welcome the leader to visit the front line!" Hassan said.
"Well, I heard that the fight here was fierce. Let me come and see the soldiers." Khomeini said.
"Yes, we fought 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 can continue to command." Khomeini knew that although he was a political and spiritual leader, his military command ability was not outstanding. He came here with only one purpose: to boost the morale of the army!
I heard that the spiritual leader Khomeini personally came to the command post by the Bahamshar River, and right behind him, all the Iranian fighters, like crazy, launched a desperate attack.
"Long live Khomeini! Long live Iran!"
In the high-spirited slogans, they braved the hail of bullets and kept rushing forward, rushing forward. The machine guns in front and the mortar shells exploding around them could not stop their belief in moving forward. Now, they are all desperate style of play.
When one falls down, the other will come up, one fires a rocket, and if it misses, the other will follow up to make another round. A machine gun position has always eliminated ten rocket launcher operators who rushed up, but was shot by another The rockets fired from the angle hit.
The Persians are crazy!
Under this powerful offensive, the Iraqi front line began to gradually shrink, and they were about to be unable to withstand it.
Aware of this phenomenon, the defenders who had been guarding the city of Abadan for nearly a year finally received an order from the commander-in-chief. They assembled and attacked violently towards the rear of the Iraqi army that was resisting the siege from outside!
Hearing gunshots from behind, Karma knew that the defenders in the city had finally come out.
My 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 I enter Abadan for street fighting, I am afraid that my division will The whole army can't be defeated.
Now that the opponent has already dispatched, his task of luring the enemy is considered complete, and the next step is to successfully withdraw at the least cost.
Retreat is also a big question, if you retreat casually without restriction, it will eventually turn into a rout.
Kalmar issued the first order: the two tank brigades should all be dispatched immediately, and countercharge the enemies approaching from both sides!
The artillery regiment belonging to the division fired all the shells fiercely!
Inspired by Khomeini, the Iranian infantry in front showed great fighting power. They saw that the Iraqi soldiers in front had already begun to retreat. They were about to rush up, but they saw smoke and dust billowing behind the opponent's position.
The opponent's tank is coming up!
At this time, the chieftain tank was already in a state of fuel shortage because it had been driving all night, so it returned to the rear to refuel.
Taking advantage of this gap, the Iraqi tank brigade rushed up.
The &-62 tank gun let out a roar that shook the sky, and a round of grenades came out of the 115mm tank barrel, mercilessly blowing up the Iranian soldiers into the sky.
At the same time, countless shells flew from the sky and exploded around the charging Iranian soldiers. Each shell would take the lives of several soldiers.
The front line of strangling each other has now become a bloody meat grinder.
"Quick, rocket!" An Iranian company commander crawled into a crater, and the soldiers behind him said that he had fired a rocket just now, but it missed.
The soldier behind him handed over the rocket, and he quickly installed it on the rocket launcher, stood up abruptly, took aim, and fired at the tank hundreds of meters away from him!
"Boom!" The turret of this tank was penetrated from the side, and suddenly, a terrible explosion of ammunition was induced, which lifted the entire turret into the air.
hit!
"Come on, another one." The company commander shouted.
There was no movement behind him.
He looked back, and saw that the lower body of the soldier who had handed him the rocket had been blown off long ago, and his back was covered in blood. Just like that, he crawled a few meters away and sent himself a rocket.
The company commander glanced at his soldiers, got up, and was about to run over to get the rockets.
"Tut, chug," suddenly, another tank's machine gun rang out, and immediately beat him into a sieve.
The defenders who came out of Abadan consisted of an infantry division and an infantry brigade. Under the cover of a dozen m48 tanks and thirty m113 infantry fighting vehicles, they swooped towards the Iraqi front.
