"Tell me, Abdullah, what is there in the southern military region that you can see? That kid Mohammad is lucky. Now, his troops should be replaced, but don't you want to ask me for the latest style?" tanks," Ibrahim said jokingly.

&-62, in Iraq, the most advanced is the t-72 imported from the Soviet Union. However, Zhang Feng knows that he can’t even think about these tanks. Even in the Southern Military Region, there are not many of them. Prioritize the equipment of Tikrik Division.

&-62 is already very satisfied, they can even hit the target at a distance of 500 meters. Zhang Feng boasted first, and then said: "However, you should know that the Iranian Chieftain tank is very difficult to deal with, so can you send some armed helicopters over?" "

Zhang Feng tentatively stated his needs, and suddenly felt that the other party was stunned.

But yes, I am afraid that there is no precedent for combining helicopters and tanks. Even in China, the army aviation unit was formed only during the disarmament in 85. The previous helicopters belonged to the air force.

If one's own armored forces can receive the support of armed helicopters at any time, it will be an earth-shaking change.

After waiting for a long time, the other party did not speak, so Zhang Feng had no choice but to say again: "Uncle, I don't want advanced ones. I just need some Mi-24s. It's useless if there are too many. Twenty is enough. There are enough here." space for them to dock."

The Mi-24 armed helicopter is nicknamed "Hind", because compared with Western armed helicopters, this helicopter has a big belly, which can carry infantry, which is convenient for coordinated operations, and it also makes it appear bloated.And this kind of helicopter can just meet Zhang Feng's needs for special operations. He searches for the opponent's fuel supply point on the helicopter.

On the other side of the phone, Ibrahim had already fainted. In his mind, his nephew wanted some guns and ammunition, which he could easily satisfy himself. Unexpectedly, he really opened his mouth like a lion ah.

The 35th Brigade is just a resting unit, not a combat unit. What do you need armed helicopters for?It’s useless if there are more, twenty is enough, I thought armed helicopters were cars, the entire Southern Military Region only has fifty armed helicopters, and the focus is on Abadan on the front line, where did I find so many helicopters? play for him?

"Abdullah, this helicopter really can't be dispatched. Otherwise, you can discuss with the president and ask him to dispatch two helicopters for you from Baghdad."

Baghdad?Wily Ibrahim, damn bureaucracy, asking daddy to adjust the helicopter?Or from the capital?Who has such a big face?It's fine if you don't give it.

The Iranians are going to attack from here, and I know it is absolutely true. Now, the brigade commander and staff officers of the 35th brigade also have a hunch, but after all, this lacks enough information. I went to the swamp and saw a Helicopter, if he said these things to his uncle, he would definitely blame himself for going to the swamp. As for the helicopter, the [-] soldiers under him saw more helicopters, so it was not worth making a fuss about.

In fact, Zhang Feng still had a small thought in his heart. If he turned the tide this time and completely repelled the Iranian attack, he would gain more weight in his father's heart.

My older brother, Uday, is not capable at all, violent, sadistic, and will not be a qualified successor at all. For the future of Iraq, I must highlight my talents.

"Then, uncle, let's forget about the helicopter." Zhang Feng had to settle for the next best thing, "However, I need some individual weapons."

Ibrahim smiled with satisfaction. This is more or less the same. There are many individual weapons in the warehouse of the Southern Military Region. This time, it will be cheaper for Muhammad.

Chapter 22 Chairman of the Supreme Defense Council

Chapter 22 Chairman of the Supreme Defense Council—

Rasul raised the torque gently, and increased the accelerator with his right hand. The ah-1 armed helicopter, like a nimble cobra, stretched and climbed, and started the return journey.

A team of them and four helicopters have been scouting the swamp for several days, hoping to find a road that allows tanks to pass through, and to arrange a fuel supply station in a relatively solid place in the middle of the swamp.

ah-1 "Cobra" helicopter is a special anti-tank armed helicopter developed by Bell Helicopter Company for the US Army in the mid-60s. It has two high-power engines, which make it very maneuverable. The two crew members are arranged in series. , the front row is the weapon operator, and the rear row is the driver, with a wide field of vision, which is conducive to effectively destroying the enemy:.On the pylons on both sides, "TOA" anti-tank missiles, 70mm rocket pods and an m61a1 "Vulcan" airborne cannon can be mounted, with very powerful firepower.

Since Iran introduced this helicopter, it has been used as the main equipment. However, since President Khomeini came to power, the accessories of this helicopter have lost their source.

As long as the helicopter is started, certain parts need to be consumed and replaced according to the flight time. The cobras that used to be seen everywhere in the Iranian sky have been restricted from use. Some of them are not in good condition and are even used as organ donations to protect other The flight of the plane.

Although Tehran has purchased it through secret channels, it has not received any reply so far.

This reconnaissance mission is of great importance, and it is too dangerous to use a chariot to reconnaissance in the swamp, so their flying team was sent to carry out this mission.

They were very lucky and found a certain highland in the middle of the swamp. The ground was still solid rock, very stable, and it was very safe as a storage point for oil and ammunition.

They knew how dangerous the next mission of the armored soldiers would be.

The front is approaching the base, in order to prevent being attacked by air, there is only a dim light.

"Boss, we're home," said Shamsdin in front.

"It seems that there is something abnormal. What are those bundles of black things below?" Rasul saw it through the bulletproof glass on the side.

"Maybe it was made by those armored soldiers." Shamsdin said nonchalantly, "How about I turn on the navigation lights and take a look?"

Forget it, Rasul has already seen the circle where he needs to land, and a ground crew is directing him to land with a glowing baton.

He pedaled the rudder with his left foot, and the helicopter turned half a circle in the air. When the total torque was released, the cobra lowered its noble head and slowly descended.

"Boom!" The landing gear made contact with the ground proficiently, and everything was trained as usual. He turned off the engine, the huge propeller stopped rotating, opened the side glass, and Rasul and Shamsdin jumped off.

Holding the flying helmets, Rasul and Shamsdin hadn't moved yet when they heard the ground crew say, "Report to Captain, General Sharaf is waiting for you two to go in the situation room."

General Sharaf?The two knew that General Sharaf was the commander-in-chief of this operation. An armored division and two infantry brigades were all on standby here.

Fortunately, this time I found a place where the supply station can be arranged. When General Sharaf asks, there will be an explanation.

The two adjusted the corners of their clothes and strode towards the war situation room.

"report!"

"Come in!"

The two pushed the door open, and saw a few people with high military ranks sitting in the war room, and the lowest ones were all major generals:.

However, all the people are surrounding the man in the middle, reporting something.

The person sitting on the middle chair has gray hair, but he is still very energetic. He is listening to the report of the armored division commander next to him.

Seeing the two people coming in, he raised his head, and Rasul and Shamsdin exclaimed, "Hello, Chairman!"

Sitting in the middle is Abel Hassan Bani Sadr, the first president of Iran after the revolution.

Abel Hassan was born in Hamadan, Iran.In his early years, he majored in theology and law at the University of Tehran.During his college years, he had a feeling for the high-level government in the country and the miserable life of the people at the bottom. He participated in the anti-king student group, was imprisoned twice, and was injured in a riot in 1963.After that, he went to study at the University of Paris IV in France.

While in France, Abel Hassan had frequent contacts with the Iranian resistance led by Khomeini. In 1979, he returned to Iran with Khomeini to engage in the activities of the Islamic Revolution.In the newly established government, he served as the Minister of Economy and Finance, and was also the interim acting Minister of Foreign Affairs.

After the success of the Iranian revolution, Abel became the President of Iran through popular election.Although he has Khomeini's support, in fact his relationship with the Islamic Republican Party is not harmonious. The gap in consciousness makes him drift away from religious leaders.Subsequently, Khomeini relieved his military leadership.

However, after Iran was shamelessly attacked by Iraq in September of the same year, Abel was appointed chairman of the Supreme Defense Council.After that, he basically stayed in the command post on the front line.

As an Iranian who longs for the strength of his homeland, Abel has done his best. He has been preparing for the counterattack against Iraq. From his hands.

Now, as the chairman of the Supreme Defense Committee, he came to the front line to see how the situation was progressing.

Whether the attack here can be successful or not will determine the next step in the counterattack of Abadan on the southern front, so he is very concerned.

Unbeknownst to Abel, in Tehran, a conspiracy against him is underway. In a few days, he will be forced to leave Iran, flee to France, form a government-in-exile against Khomeini's rule, and become president himself. .

"Our brave young man is back, wandering around for so long over the swamp in Susangilde, have you found a suitable place?" Abel asked.

"Chairman of the report, we finally found a site with a radius of several hundred meters, which is enough for our oil truck to stop, and there are huge rocks underground, which are very solid." Rasul said.

Hearing these words, everyone present felt relieved, their top priority finally had a clue.

"Justice will always belong to our great Iran, and Allah is with us!" Abel said: "Can our tanks enter the swamp?"

"Chairman of the report, if there is sufficient fuel supply, we can dispatch at any time." Armored Division Commander Rajawi said: "Although our Chieftain tanks are difficult to travel in the swamp, we have already made arrangements in advance. "
