Babylonian Empire

After recovering from the initial excitement, the Iranian soldiers on the battlefield felt something was wrong.

The 152mm grenade has amazing explosive power.Grenades are also called flower shells, and they are the "old men" among artillery shells.It uses the fragments and shock waves generated after the explosion of the projectile to kill or blast. The "belly" of the grenade is filled with explosives, which explode when it hits the ground, forming a large number of fragments to kill the enemy. The power of the 152mm grenade can produce about 2800 effective fragments, and there is nothing that can resist it at a distance of several hundred square meters around it.

Fortunately, the opponent's grenade is not aimed at the infantry in the rear, otherwise, the infantry's flesh and blood, without a suitable cover, would not be able to resist at all.

However, even a tank can only withstand the fragments of the grenade. If it is directly hit by the grenade, even though it is not an armor-piercing projectile, the huge energy is enough to kill all the members of the tank and damage all the sighting equipment.

Of course, the possibility of being directly hit by a grenade is not very high.

After being shelled by the opponent, Taki immediately observed the direction of the shells from the periscope.

Now, the order to retreat has not been issued, so they had to rush forward, find the opponent's artillery position, and completely kill the opponent's artillery.

There was black mist from shell explosions everywhere, the battlefield was hazy, and the remnants of the Iraqi soldiers who were chasing ahead had disappeared at this moment.

Taki is trying to find out. If there is an artillery radar, he can immediately know the position of the opponent's artillery by measuring the opponent's trajectory, but now, he can only observe with the naked eye and use experience to deduce it.

Taki's periscope turned twice, but before he could find the trajectory of the opponent's shell, he saw a scene he would never forget.

MiG machine!A large number of MiGs are coming!He could even see the heavy bombs and the terrifying rocket launchers mounted under the wings.

The first attack formation finally flew over the theater.

Arslan drove his own MiG-23, pulled the rod and flew to high altitude, and began to undertake important air defense tasks.

The four MiG-23s turned into two twin formations, pulled to an altitude of 8000 meters, turned on their unreliable radar, and began to monitor the surrounding airspace.

Four MiG-21s hovered at an altitude of 5000 meters, ready to attack any Iranian air force that might appear.

At this time, the sky above the Karun River is dominated by the Iraqi Air Force!

With the covering fighter jets of the two squadrons, the fighter jets responsible for the bombing mission in the rear finally came to the heads of the Iranians.

They have been chasing the Iraqi army all the time. They were originally accompanied by the anti-aircraft firepower of the armored forces, but they all stayed at the headquarters, while the air force went to meet the Iraqi air force that bombed Tehran. At this moment, they became lambs to be slaughtered.

The first to fly was the MiG-23.

At the time of design, the MiG-23 was defined as a fighter, used to compete with the enemy for air supremacy. However, from the perspective of actual use, the MiG-23 was originally designed with a classic variable-sweep wing and did not bring The improvement of the maneuverability is too large, but the weight of the structure is increased, so that its maneuverability is not even as good as the lightweight MiG-21:.

On the contrary, due to the dual-engine design and large load capacity, it is more suitable to remodel it into a bomber, which led to the later MiG-27, which is the bombing version of the MiG-23bn.

At this time, the MiG 23s of the two squadrons, in addition to the two infrared fighting bombs, were mounted under the wings and on the belly, and they were all ordinary 250kg low-drag bombs, 6 on each side.

The Su-20 at the back is a dedicated ground attack aircraft. In addition to the 20mm cannons at the left and right wing roots, there are 3 pylons under the wings, 4 pylons under the fuselage, and a total of 10 external pylons. hanger.Except that the middle pylon under the wing is a special pylon for defensive weapons and can only hang infrared-guided air-to-air missiles, the inner and outer wing pylons and the lower pylons of the fuselage are all used for ground attack ПД3 -57mt or mta type hanger.

For this attack, the Su-20 has optimized its configuration. The pylons on the outside of the wings are equipped with B-8 launchers, each of which is equipped with 20 80mmc-8 rockets, and the middle part is equipped with infrared air-to-air missiles. It is two 500kg 3Б-500 free-fall and deceleration napalm bombs, four pylons on the abdomen, the front is 2 rocket launch rails and c-24 240mm rockets, and the rear is pВc-250 cluster bombs.

The Iraqi Air Force lacks ground-to-ground precision-guided weapons, so it mounts ordinary ground-to-ground bombs. However, these bombs are definitely the existence of Iran's nightmare!Please remember the URL, if you like "Babylonian Empire" written by Huadongzhixiong

Chapter 84 Napalm!

Chapter 84 Napalm! ——

The MiG-23, whose wings have been adjusted to the minimum sweep angle, spreads its two wings, like eagles, and enters the battlefield from a low altitude.

Although the Iranian army has been exposed to the undefended plains at this time, for a plane flying at high speed in the sky, it only takes a maximum of 1 minute to fly by, and the shooting window is very short, so the pilots are on the ground Before you enter a war zone, prepare yourself.

All bombs are unlocked, and the fire control system is switched to ground mode!

Fingers wearing white gloves deftly flicked a few switches on the right side, and a halo appeared on the head-up display.

The pilot was counting silently, "Ten, nine, eight, seven..." When the count reached zero, the Iranian armored troops appeared in the field of vision, pushed the lever, aimed the halo at the densely populated area, and pressed the operation button Fire button on the stick!

The pilot of the MiG-23 fighter jet is doing this ordinary but unusual action, this is not a drill.

Immediately, the 12 bombs on the wings and abdomen fell one by one, like a goddess scattering flowers, but what was spreading was death.

Nearly 23 150kg bombs exploded from two MiG-250 squadrons and fell from the sky.The Iranian army below instinctively began to panic.

They have the spirit of not fearing death, and they can use their flesh and blood to storm the fortifications outside Abadan. That is their hope of victory. However, they have no means to deal with the planes overhead.

Some soldiers picked up automatic rifles, screamed wildly, and fired blindly into the sky.

The armored soldiers rushing to the front also began to manipulate the anti-aircraft machine guns on the top, and strafed desperately in the direction of the plane.

However, everything was in vain. After the MiG-23s of the two squadrons flew over, the ground was full of flames from bomb explosions. The planes in the sky were not damaged at all, and they pulled up from low altitude, preparing to assemble and return.

The protagonist in the rear, the Su-20, finally stepped onto the stage.

Unlike the MiG-23, which continuously bombs and carpet-bombs, the Su-20 needs to go around the theater three times and drop the different ammunition it carries in turn.

In the cockpit, the pilot flipped a few switches, and his men transferred the weapons switches to the napalm bombs on the inside of the wings.

Napalm is prepared by adding a thickener to gasoline.The basic charge of napalm bombs prepared by using a mixture of naphthenic acid and fatty acid as a thickener.The bombs equipped with napalm are called napalm bombs. In order to attack targets in the water, some active alkali metals and alkaline metals potassium, calcium, and barium are added to the napalm bombs. The hydrogen gas released by the combination of metals and water will burn again, increasing the Burning power.

Napalm bomb, after the explosion, forms a layer of flames that splash around, emits a high temperature of about 1000-c, and can stick to other objects and burn for a long time.It is definitely a powerful weapon to deal with the army.

When formulating the combat plan, Zhang Feng asked in detail about the types of bombs used by the Air Force for ground bombing. Zhang Feng knew that the Iraqi Air Force lacked precision ground attack weapons, that is, various ground missiles and laser-guided bombs. However, ordinary bombs , there is always no shortage, right?

When I asked, as expected, especially when Zhang Feng knew that there were so many napalm bombs stored in the Iraqi Air Force's arsenal, he immediately showed a scary smile on his face: "Yes, use this kind of bomb , it’s time for the Persians to experience the power of our air force.”

With these things, why not?Zhang Feng really couldn't figure it out. In the later stage, Saddam even used chemical weapons.

Although the Iranian army was desperately resisting, when the plane flew overhead, the opponent's first wave of attacks did not cause much damage to itself. More than 100 bomb craters were distributed over a distance of several kilometers. Not very dense.Especially the armored units at the front, as long as they are not directly hit, basically there is not much danger.

At this time, the order to retreat finally came from the headquarters.Before the air force arrived, our own army only wanted to be slaughtered in the endless riverside plain. Although Hassan was eager to completely annihilate the fleeing Iraqi army, he didn't want to spend all his troops here. Abadan's rescue is already a great achievement.The prudent Khomeini also agreed with his decision to withdraw troops immediately. Even Khomeini, who doesn't understand military affairs, already knew that this was probably a trap set by the Iraqi army.

However, they all thought that the Iraqi Air Force was only here to help the army retreat. Moreover, they cooperated with each other a little cleverly, and the timing was just right. However, their own fighter jets were on their way to the sky over Tehran and could not return. None of them watched Come out, the biggest back move, the danger that is close at hand, is Abadan.

After receiving the order, Taki did not hesitate, and immediately ordered his tank company to retreat. His tank company rushed to the forefront, but the shelling and plane bombing just now were lucky to not suffer any losses. The only thing that disappointed him was Let go of the Iraqi army being chased by him.

Their air force was here to cover their retreat, and this time they were lucky, so let them be let go, Taki felt a little unwilling, and could only comfort himself in this way.

"Retreat." Taki shouted on the radio. The explosion just now left many craters on the ground. The driver in front of the turret must operate carefully, otherwise, it is very easy to overturn.

The &48 tank cannot turn in place at all. The driver drives forward while pulling the left control lever. The tank turns left. Then, brakes, puts the reverse gear, and pulls the right control lever. The tank reverses while twisting the body. Come over, drive forward, and repeat three times before completing the preparation for turning.

The Chieftain tank behind is much more relaxed. The driver operated the tank and made a beautiful turn on the spot. The left track turned forward, and the right track turned backward, turning the ground on the ground into a large mound. That.

Due to the turn, the already chaotic formation was even more chaotic.

Medical soldiers also rushed from behind to treat those injured in the explosion just now.They all thought that as long as they stopped chasing the fleeing army, everything would be over.When did the Iraqi Air Force organize continuous bombing?Eight planes bombed together just now, that is already the limit.

None of them thought that this was just the beginning.

At the moment of the most panic, another aircraft group flew overhead.

As a professional attack aircraft, the Su-20 has a complex attack navigation system, including the acП-17 (bc) sight, which is mainly used for visual aiming, and the cvm-20-22 central computer, which is used for system control, navigation calculation and Although the calculation of weapon delivery is simple, it is absolutely sufficient.
