The rumbling sound of cannons shocked the world, and the rolling smoke filled the world......

Looking through the artillery mirror at the city of Horamshahr, which was shrouded in waves of artillery fire, and the armored group of the Iraqi Republic Guards who were constantly covering and retreating, Major General Petrov finally breathed a sigh of meaning:

"It seems that's it..."

To be honest, one of the established goals of implementing this "Left Hook" operation is to capture the city of Koramshahr, an important Iranian city. For this reason, Major General Petrov used the theory of deep combat, hoping to seize this strategic city in southern western Iran with lightning speed and annihilate as much of the Iranian army's vitality, especially the elite armored forces, to avoid encountering "Slalingrad"-style urban street fighting.

But the reality is far beyond the scope of his "script". Not only did he not eliminate the Iranian mixed armored battalion while concentrating superior forces, he also suffered unprecedented losses. More importantly, his trump card that he had high hopes - a B cluster composed of four Iraqi armored battalions, suffered severe damage under incredible circumstances.

Because of this, Major General Petrov's heart seemed to be as heavy as a big stone. There were regrets that he had not achieved expectations, and the unspeakable insight in his subconscious mind, but more of it was his overall grasp and observation of the battlefield!

You should know that Major General Petrov is a top student at the Fulongzhi Military Academy. He is a front-level commanding talent focused on training by the Soviet General Staff. Major General Petrov played an irreplaceable role in several major exercises in the Soviet Union, especially in the "Western 81" exercise that shocked the world last year.

Major General Petrov was even responsible for formulating and drafting the entire exercise outline. Therefore, Major General Petrov was a hot new general in the Soviet Union. If nothing unexpected happens, he could become the supreme existence of the Soviet army for more than ten years - the Soviet Marshal.

Because of this, Major General Petrov has always been very keen in his judgment of the battlefield situation. The "left hook" operation is a good example, and this time it is the same, although so far, the Republic Guard armored cluster commanded by Major General Petrov has always had an advantage.

But Major General Petrov knew that his success in a rapid raid had lost its suddenness, especially the B cluster suffered heavy damage. Although Petrov did not know what mysterious weapons and equipment the Iranians used, one thing is certain that the Iranian defenders in the city of Koramshahr had made sufficient preparations.

If you continue like this, the raid will become a war of attrition. In this way, there is no essential difference from the situation where the Iranian army attacked Basra a few days ago. The Iranian army is likely to take advantage of this opportunity to launch an Iranian version of the "left hook" and surround the Iraqi Republic Guard near the city of Horamshahr. You must know that the Iranian strategic reserve team located in the northeast direction has been strengthened. If it is stuck in the city of Horamshahr at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Therefore, even if Major General Petrov was a little reluctant, he was not a pedantic general. He would not hesitate when it was time to attack and would not hesitate when he wanted to give up. Therefore, he ordered the offensive to be suspended, at least the elite armored forces should be removed to prevent being attacked by the Iranian strategic reserve team. Of course, during this period, he would not make the Iranian army in Horamshahr City easier...

"Order the heavy artillery group to maintain this strike force. If necessary, the infantry forces launch a short charge. It is necessary to suppress the Iranian army in the city until the armored forces retreat..."

"yes!"

"besides........"

Before the Iraqi staff who conveyed the order turned around and left, Major General Petrov called him again, then used the artillery mirror to look at the armored troops slowly retreating in the distance, frowned slightly, then raised his head, and ordered unquestionably:

"Tell the armored troops in front that they can move faster. If necessary, they can abandon some of their troops. No matter what, they cannot let the Iranian armored combat group stick it out... Oh... By the way, order the infantry to set up anti-tank positions on both sides of the retreat of the armored troops, and the engineers have arranged anti-tank mines to curb the pursuit of the Iranian army in any case..."

"Chasing over...chasing over..." At the same time, the battalion commander of the mixed armored battalion, Ahmad, also issued a very urgent order through the radio:

"Aim at it, beat me hard..."

As he said that, Ahmadinejad turned the captain's observation mirror and framed a retreating t-72 tank into the "cross" aiming line, and then used the in-car caller to command the captain:

"Distance, 1500 meters, armor-piercing bullets...... armor-piercing bullets..."

Seeing that the on-board computer had settled all the shooting numbers, Ahmadinejad did not hear the gunman's familiar "prepared" reply. Ahmadinejad, extremely anxious, couldn't help but look into the cabin. At this moment, the gunman shrugged at him in frustration:

"Sir, the ammunition has been used up, we..."

The cannon leader only said half of his helpless words and couldn't continue, but Ahmadinejad knew what he wanted to express, but before Ahmadinejad could speak, the command radio station in the car heard the annoyed and helpless voices from other chariots:

"Battorney General, we have no shells anymore..."

"Sir, my tank tank explodes and cannot be started... Damn..."

"The gear of the No. 6 car cannot be mounted, the engine sounds abnormally, and there is ammunition, what should I do..."

After listening to these requests, Ahmadinejad woke up a little. After Iraq joined the reserve team, they fought a desperate battle with the Iraqi armored cluster. Using their flexible and changeable tactics and the excellent performance of their tanks, the Iranian mixed armored battalion not only withstand the impact of the Iraqi armored cluster, but also caused great damage to it.

But as the saying goes, a good tiger cannot hold up a pack of wolves. Even if the mixed armored armored battalion is strong, it will be quite difficult to deal with the attack of the Iranian tank cluster that has an absolute advantage. After a few rounds, the mixed armored armored battalion suffered unimaginable losses. Four of the eight new tanks were hit and damaged.

As for the 59 Magic-Modified Jaguar, which had a slightly worse performance, more than half of it was destroyed. However, it was in this fierce battle that the soldiers of the Iranian mixed armored battalion were red-eyed, and the extremely brave Ahmadinejad was even more so. Seeing the Iraqi tanks retreating, the first thought that flashed through his mind was to pursue, chase, and pursue again...

However, the ammunition is short of now, and the mixed armored armored battalion, which has suffered serious losses, has become the last of its strength. Being able to barely withstand the attack of the Iraqi tank cluster is a miracle among miracles. It is completely impossible to continue pursuing. As the battalion commander of the mixed armored battalion, Ahmadinejad, naturally knew very well, but he was very unwilling to give up because he knew that this was the best time to attack the Iraqi armored cluster:

"Instructor Zhou, what do you think?" In a difficult situation, he turned his eyes to Zhou Hao, who was solemn next to him: "Can we just miss the good opportunity to attack Iraqi armored forces? Even if we don't defeat them, we have to pull off a piece of meat from them..."

"Do you think I don't want to?"

Before Ahmadinejad finished speaking, Zhou Hao's rhetoric made Ahmadinejad speechless. Yes, Zhou Hao always wanted to completely smash the arrogant Iraqi armored forces into pieces of scrap iron. However, according to the current situation, they were unable to launch a pursuit operation and could only watch Iraq retreat calmly. According to the combat plan that was planned in advance, when he was unable to meet his strength, the artillery deployed in the city would give him strong support.

But now, the entire city of Horamshahr was bombed like a purgatory by the Iraqi heavy artillery group. In this case, let alone support, it is unknown whether the artillery's basic combat capabilities can be preserved. You must know that when he started to bombard the city in Iraq, he lost contact with the city's command center.

Because of this, compared with the pursuit of expanding the results of the war, Zhou Hao's mind is more concerned about the safety of his companions in the city. Regarding this, Ahmadinejad, who was trained by Zhou Hao, knows more than anyone else, so he no longer insists on his pursuit plan, but continues to say in a sluggish tone:

"Instructor Zhou, if it really doesn't work, we will withdraw. Maybe the city needs us even more!"

"Yeah!" Zhou Hao responded without comment, then frowned a few times, and finally made up his mind after a while: "It seems that we can only choose... 叶~~叶~~叶~~叶~~叶~叶~叶~叶"

Just as Zhou Hao was halfway through the "choice" on his lips, the dedicated radio in the car contacted the city command center suddenly made a harsh sound. Zhou Hao's eyes lit up when he saw this. He couldn't help but raise his hand to turn on the telephone switch, grabbed the headphones and shouted excitedly:

"Command, I am the 'mouse', how are you..."

"How is it? I was almost poured into a chicken with a 'storm'..." As soon as Zhou Hao finished speaking, Liao Shaoqing's half-joking words came from the radio, but even so, Zhou Hao's long-depressed heart also felt much more relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his face:

"I didn't ask you..."

"I know, both Store Manager Qian and Lu Jiadong are good, and the others are the same. By the way, both of them are in my operating cabin. Do you want to talk?"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, say, when will your artillery pour down the bullet rain?"

"It's already been shot. You prick up your ears and listen carefully. I've pressed half of the strength on my hands on your head..."

"Enough..." Zhou Hao responded, and then a "buzz~~buzz~~" whistling came into his ears. Zhou Hao finally showed a long-lost happy smile on his face. He quickly turned his head and shouted to Ahmadinejad, who was standing beside him:

"What are you waiting for? If you don't fight back at this time, you really want to eat bad!"

"Ah~~" Ahmadinejad was stunned at first, then he immediately reacted: "I understand, fight back..."
