"Where did these new Iranian tanks come from?"

Just as the commander of the Mosul Armored Regiment was deeply saddened because his tank was destroyed, the flanks several thousand meters away were watching Hollande, who was using the artillery mirror to watch every move on the battlefield, was so shocked that he almost squeezed his eyes out of his socket.

Whether it was the courage to line up to block thousands of troops, the precise firepower, or the fire net woven at super high rate of fire, Hollande was shocked, but compared with this, what made him most incredible was where these new tanks came out.

You should know that in the night battle in Horamshahr city three days ago, although the Hollande armored battle group he led lost, it also caused a great damage to the Iranian armored battalion in the hand-to-hand tank battle. He knew very well at that time. Then when he implemented the "left hook punch" plan, he also confirmed his judgment from the captured Iranian soldiers that there were less than four new tanks that could be moved by the Iranians.

But now, eight new tanks with extremely powerful combat power are located in front of the tide of the Republican Guard armored cluster. The new tanks used to confuse and restrain the Iraqi army must be four to six. The sum of the two is almost the same as the new tanks of the Iranian mixed armored battalion in the heyday of the night battle in Horamshahr three days ago. In total, it is only 72 hours. In just 72 hours, the new tanks in Iran's hands have regained their terrible combat effectiveness again. How did they do it?

"Has China provided another batch of new tanks? After all, it is not far from Iran's port of Khomeini!" Just as Hollande was in deep thought, the adjutant's words suddenly woke him up, but after he thought for a while, he shook his head again:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. In order to launch this offensive, the Soviet Union implemented all-round monitoring of the Persian Gulf. Chinese cargo ships could not get close to Iranian ports at all. Even if they were transported by a third country, they could not escape the KGB's omnipresent eyes..."

"What's going on with these new tanks? You should know that they also suffered heavy damage the day before yesterday. Why...How..."

After hearing Hollande's words, the adjutant was so surprised that he couldn't speak. No matter what, he was also a witness to the night battle three days ago. Whether during the fierce battle or during the escape, he witnessed the damage of the new tank with his own eyes. Many of them seemed difficult to repair. Even if they could be repaired, the time it took would be very long. However, the real facts in front of him showed professional terms that had not appeared for a long time in his mind...

"Excellent maintainability!" Hollande's amazement expressed his thoughts and thoughts: "This has absorbed Israel's experience in the Fourth Middle East War, and it has done better than the Israelites back then. I don't believe that the Iranians' logistical support force can surpass the smart and powerful Israelis. Therefore, the only credible thing is that China has integrated super maintainability into it when it was first developed...."

The Fourth Middle East War that Hollande mentioned took place in 1973, also known as the "Yongpus Day" War. At that time, Egypt and Syria suddenly launched a raid on Israel in order to seize the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights. Israel caught off guard suffered heavy losses, especially the armored troops. Just a few days after the war started, two elite armored brigades were annihilated, and countless tanks were injured and severely damaged.

However, with its super creativity and hardworking spirit, relying on the characteristics of American equipment maintenance, the Israelites used the shortest time to repair a large number of tanks under extremely harsh conditions. It was precisely because of this that the Israeli forces that were facing collapse were restored to the full health state again and again. Because of this, Israel not only resisted the fierce attack of the Arabs, but also turned the defense into offense and eventually won the war.

It was inspired by this war that the maintainability of tanks has become the focus of attention for tank designers from all over the world. However, compared with this, the Chinese seem to have gone further and more advanced. You should know that in such a short time and harsh environment, the word "miracle" has become too pale. Only the best-in-class design idea can make all this possible...

"This efficient maintenance performance can instantly make one tank use two or even three. With its outstanding comprehensive performance, we were not wronged that night, but not wronged..."

Hollande sighed meaningfully, then leaned down again and put his eyes on the cannon mirror. The adjutant standing beside him looked at his watch with some eagerness and reminded him:

"Sir, Iraq's tank clusters are going to surround us, and we will be able to operate..."

"Not busy!" Before the adjutant finished speaking, Hollande interrupted it without thinking, and then said firmly: "I always have a feeling that the Iranian mixed armored battalion will have a way to resist this Soviet-style armored cluster attack, and we can learn and learn!"

"But the Iraqi armored cluster just suffered a big loss, and may point its finger at us..."

"Don't worry, Petrov has no time to care about us!" As he said, a thoughtful sneer came from the corner of Hollande's mouth:

"Because, the baby has been found in his eyes..."

Hollande was right. Petrov did find the treasure he had long wanted, and this treasure was nothing else, but the new tanks at the forefront of the position. In fact, Major General Petrov was also shocked when he witnessed the destruction of the Mosul armored regiment with his own eyes. However, he became extremely excited at the next moment. No matter what, he had not seen such an excellent tank for a long time.

In this case, he happened to use his superior forces to capture or destroy it, and then transport it back to the Soviet Union for research and cracking. Although as a loyal believer in the theory of deep combat, Petrov always believed that absolute quantity could defeat absolute quality, he did not blindly reject the tanks with outstanding performance, not to mention that the Iraqi people in his hands were almost the same as cannon fodder.

During World War II, the Soviet generals were able to use tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of Soviet lives to exchange for victory. Today, while using the blood of thousands of Iraqis to win, they seized several enemy tanks with outstanding performance. They were 10,000 times more kind than God in heaven. Because of this, Petrov not only did not stop the attack, but instead added an offensive:

"Tigris Armored Brigade, going around from the flank, the Euphrates Armored Brigade sent a regiment to feint the front, and the main force boldly interspersed, launched assault, attack, attack, and attack again from the flank...."

Major General Petrov's hissing voice was transmitted to various Iraqi armored cluster combat units through the radio commander. After the fierce beast licked the wound slightly, it stretched out its sharp claws again and rushed towards the thin line of defense composed of eight new tanks.

However, at this time, the eight new tanks saw that the situation was not good, and they all released the smoke screen, and then quickly retreated with their superb maneuverability. The Iraqi armored cluster was blocked by the smoke screen released by the new tanks, and they could not see the true face clearly. They suddenly hesitated. When the Iraqi soldiers reacted, the eight new tanks had already jumped out of the Iraqi armored cluster.

The angry Iraqi soldiers, the driver T-72 tanks broke through the blockade of smoke and were about to launch a clamp attack again, but they did not want to get into the pocket of the Iranian mixed armored battalion. They had already laid a magic 59 "Java" tanks behind eight new tanks,

Seeing that the T-72 tanks rushed to the effective range, fifteen 105mm rifled anti-tank guns instantly played the death note. In an instant, seven or eight T-72s turned into flames and became scrap iron. Before the Iraqi tankers could react, the second wave of scattered and the third wave of scattered fire followed one after another. In the blink of an eye, the Iraqi armored forces intending to encircle the new tank were severely damaged......

However, this Republican Guard ace trained by the Soviets showed amazing combat effectiveness in such adversity. Not only did it quickly organize a strong counterattack force to damage the Magic 59 "Java" tank, but it also used its numerical advantage to implement flanking interlacing and encirclement again, intending to eat the weaker Magic 59 "Java" tank battle group first.

But at this moment, eight new tanks that had just used smoke to cover the cover and escape without a trace suddenly emerged from the left wing of the Magic 59 "Java" tank battle group and carried out a powerful counterattack on the Iraqi T-72 tank group that had not yet adjusted its formation. This retaliation not only grasped the timing just right, but also fought accurately and fiercely. In an instant, six T-72 tanks were sent to the west.

Not only that, eight new tanks retreated very quickly. Before the Iraqis could react, eight new tanks quickly retreated under alternate cover. As for the ambush, the Magic 59 "Java" tank had already released smoke and disappeared without a trace.

When the furious Iraqi tank cluster crossed the smoke screen and launched a pursuit again, the Iranian infantry hidden on the flank immediately activated the mine spreader made by China. In the gap between the tanks of both sides, a large number of anti-tank mines were arranged. By the time the Iraqi tanks reacted, their tanks had already fallen into the minefield and could not move...
