Chapter 416 Infantry Fighting Tanks

The Iraq-Iraq War that took place on the Middle East has been in its third year. Although Iraq is not as large as Iran, its population is not as large as Iran, and its war potential is not as strong as Iran, during the entire war, Iraq has always received support from surrounding Arab countries and supported by Western countries, so it has always been in a favorable position throughout the war.

Iran, a country dominated by Persians, was inspired by religion and was also carrying out unremitting counterattacks under the Islamic Revolution of Khomeini. Although it was sanctioned by Western countries, Iran has been self-reliant and improving various weapons and equipment. While also obtaining a large number of weapons from Eastern countries, it has re-armed itself...

The Iranian Air Force, with the J-7 fighter jets and the attack of all large aircraft groups, finally burned the war to Abadan. The Air Force's spirit of not fearing sacrifice created an opportunity for the torrent of the army.

Liberate Abadan! This is a very important part of Iran's counterattack. If you take Abadan, you can close the gates to the plains and then defeat the isolated ports of Avas and Khomeini.

Therefore, the task of the offensive troops is very heavy, and their strategic significance is also very far-reaching.

The Iranian Air Force successfully restrained the energy of the Iraqi Air Force and prevented them from freeing up their hands to launch a large-scale attack on this torrent of steel.

However, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and both sides are competing for an important thing: time!

As long as the Iranian army is delayed and the armored forces of our side can be arrived, they can encircle and annihilate the army.

For the Iranian army, as long as the Iraqi air force is freed, the Iraqi air force advantage can be wiped out. Abadan is an important petrochemical city, and they will never take the risk to bomb Abadan.

The powerful Iranian armored troops, still running around the plains, were valued by commanders on both sides. Nearly 150 tanks and more than 200 armored vehicles were already a powerful assault cluster, this torrent of steel was enough to crush the Iraqi infantry standing in front of it into meat paste.

Pressing on the shoulders of the Forty-two Infantry Division is a heavy task, using flesh and blood to resist the Iranian armored cluster!

The Forty-Two Infantry Division was stationed in various places, with its division headquarters located one hundred miles northwest of Port Khomeini.

At this time, in the division headquarters, the division commander Majidkrama was conveying the above orders.

"The military region lets us stay here and hinder the progress of the Iranian army. At least until dusk," said Majid.

"Terminal Commander, this is impossible. What we face is not Iranian infantry, not their sea of ​​people attacks, but we face a powerful armored group charge, we can't resist it at all." said a staff officer.

"Shut up!" Majid immediately angrily rebuked: "This is the order above. We cannot violate it. Even if we die in battle, we cannot embarrass Your Excellency Kusai! We must complete the task resolutely!"

The scolded staff member blushed and said, "Terminal Commander, I am not saying that I violate the orders of my superiors, but just saying our facts. We are infantry, and most of them are scattered in various places. We also lack powerful weapons to attack armor."

"The more difficult our task is, the more beautiful it will be, because we are the 42nd Division of the Southern Military Region! We must make military achievements, and we are the troops of His Excellency Kusai! In the Susangild swamp, the Iranian armored troops were so powerful, so they were still wiped out by His Excellency Kusai? Allah bless us! We will definitely complete the task!"

When talking about Your Excellency Kusai, everyone suddenly felt excited. The battle examples created by Your Excellency Kusai made them extremely excited. Why can't infantry kill the tanks? It's absolutely possible!

When everyone thinks of fighting a tank, the first thing that comes to mind is the bazooka. However, the range of the bazooka is very close, and it must be close to the opponent's tank, and it must be on the flank to be sure to destroy it. However, in a high-speed tank, if you want to get close to the opponent, you must at least ask whether the machine gun on the opponent's tank agrees.

When infantry use rocket launchers, they must rely on dense fortifications and traffic trenches and other earthworks. However, now, it is definitely too late to temporarily construct these positions.

"We can use a bazooka," said a staff officer. "But, in this case, our casualties will be quite large. We can also use a ** bag and put it under the tracks of the opponent's tank..."

Before the staff member finished speaking, he felt that it was inappropriate. If there was a street fighting, these methods were possible. However, in the wild, the 100-meter-long sported the opponent's tank and then put the bag under the opponent's tracks.

Marshal Zhukov also used this method during World War II, but he used military dogs.

"We can use recoilless cannons!" said the division commander Majid.

Recoilless cannon! Everyone's hearts were lit up, good, why did you forget this thing?

A recoilless cannon is a cannon whose body does not retreat when fired. When firing, a considerable portion of the gas produced by the launching medicine overflows from the rear of the cannon, thus generating a reverse momentum close to the momentum of pushing the projectile forward. This makes the cannon itself almost produce no recoil.

The artillery has no recoil, so the recoil buffering device required by conventional artillery does not need, so the recoilless cannon becomes very light and easy to use. Infantry can also use recoilless cannons to fire large-caliber shells. It is mainly used to directly aim and strike armored targets, suppress, and fight live power and firearms, and has made great contributions in the history of anti-tank warfare.

In World War I and World War II, this artillery made great contributions, but after the 1970s, due to the development of armor technology and the equipment of anti-tank missiles, the status and role of the resilient gun became increasingly tense.

However, within the 42nd Division, an artillery company was still arranged in each battalion, with more than a dozen 82mm recoilless cannons.

Now, it's time to make this weapon show its strength!

"Our mission this time is to delay the march of Iranian armored forces. Before our armored forces arrive, they are unable to reach Abadan. Therefore, our mission is to harass, let the recoilless artillery of our various artillery companies carry out harassment attacks on the Iranian armored groups. At the same time, our infantry retreated to the periphery of Abadan and began to build fortifications. Once the actions ahead cannot work, we need to use our blood to defend Abadan!" Majid said.

With the formulation of the division's action plan, the counterattack of the 42nd Division finally began.

Self-propelled anti-aircraft guns cannot keep up with the flight of Iraqi Air Force fighters because the opponent uses Maverick missiles that can be fired from afar beyond their range. Although the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun's gun aiming radar discovered the fighter jets in the sky, there was no way.

At this time, the fearless Iranian Air Force sent two squadrons of fighter jets again, including the several J-7 that had just returned to the airport and completed the refueling maintenance. The Iranian Air Force's dispatch efficiency was also very high.

Arslan's F20 fighter jet had just launched two calfs and destroyed two tanks on the ground, so it had to engage in air combat with Iranian Air Force fighters.

Several tanks were lost, but they did not affect the attack of the armored troops. They knew that time is everything now.

They didn't know that on the plain, there was already a team carrying equipment specially used for anti-tanks and began their bloody battle operations.

The 42nd Division is equipped with an 82mm recoil-free gun produced from China. This gun body tube and medicine chamber are an integral structure, and a transverse switch latch mechanism is used to reduce the weight of the gun. The bulge has two upper and lower spray holes, and the locking with the gun tail is completed by using the latch shaft and the opening rod. The bulge bolt is also equipped with a long nozzle to reduce the danger of rear spraying; it is equipped with a dual-purpose optical sight and a low light sight.

When dealing with armored targets, four kilograms of armor-piercing bombs are used. The armor-piercing bombs are rocket extended-range bombs, and they use double-cone medicine covers. The thickness of armor-piercing is 150 mm. Therefore, it can only hit the sides of the tank with a range of 500 meters. Therefore, the danger is still quite high when operating the infantry, which is also the reason for gradually being replaced by anti-tank missiles.

However, in war, there are no immortals! It depends on whether the sacrifice is worth it or not! Now, it is time for the officers and soldiers of the 42nd Division to use blood to forge the military spirit!

The officers and soldiers who operated this recoilless cannon immediately rushed up to face the Iranian armored torrent.

In the tank's vision, all kinds of motor vehicles will be their targets. Therefore, the gunners of the 42nd Division did not use the approach of getting closer to the car. They chose to walk, and then, looking for a suitable place and waiting for the fighter plane.

Because the tail of the gun needs to be pressed, the chamber pressure of the recoil-free gun is not very high. The thin steel plate gun barrel is also very light, which allows a group to carry it smoothly. One person carries the cannon body, one person carries a tripod, and the other two people can just carry the cannon shells. In critical situations, you can also use the tripod and directly carry the fire on your shoulder.

On this plain, there are large areas of weeds around. If infantry arched inside, they would not notice it in the Mercedes-Benz tank.

The Iranian armored forces were still advancing, and they had completed nearly half of the march, and Mohammed was very satisfied with the speed of his army.

Retake Abadan! Drive the Iraqi invaders out of Iran’s land! Although most of the soldiers of this armored force are new, they have a very high sense of war and are eager to fight! Fight for the great Iran and sacrifice for the great leader Khomeini! (To be continued...)
