During the Iraq-Iraq War, Iraq made a serious mistake in military command, attaching too much importance to the struggle for one city and one place, and neglecting the elimination of living forces.

In order to capture Horamshahr, on September 25 last year, the Iraqi army launched a raid on Horamshahr. Who knew that it would easily capture it, but it fell into the opponent's many traps. In the narrow streets and road network filled with obstacles, the attacking armored division was hit by unexpected heavy blows. With the rapid reinforcement of a special brigade, the Iraqi army, who had been bloody for fifteen days, finally captured Horamshahr.

However, more than 1,500 people were killed in battle, and more than 4,000 were injured; Iran paid a more tragic price: more than 3,000 people died and more than 5,000 were injured. Later, Iraq changed the name of Horamshahr to Huninshahr, the Blood City, where every inch of land here was dripping with the blood of those soldiers, and it was already ruined at this time. However, as a strategic location, Iraq stationed an infantry division here.

In the war, paying too much attention to the mastery of the city is undoubtedly the most lacking in vision. It should be aimed at eliminating the enemy's living forces as the main goal. How many troops does Iran have in total? If half of its troops are eliminated, they will completely lose the ability to resist. Fighting street battles in such a solid city and paying heavy casualties is simply unpaid.

Zhang Feng knew that it was still difficult to accept his father Saddam. After all, occupying the enemy's territory was very glorious. So what he proposed now was a temporary alternative.

Now, Abadan has been in siege and has never been defeated. This is not to give up the land he has obtained, right? Will he lead Abadan's defenders out and on the flat ground, and do you still have to worry about destroying the other party?

"Kusai, what do you mean?" Adnan asked tentatively, "Want to give up the siege of Abadan?"

"Yes." Zhang Feng said: "Although we have been surrounding Abadan on land, Abadan is a port, on the side of the waterway, we cannot surround him. We have been besieging him for a year and have no choice but to do anything about Abadan. The other party has been using ships to transport supplies to Abadan defenders. If we surround him, we may not be able to gain any advantage. Why not, let's take a step back."

"Speak on," Saddam said.

"Our problem is that we are unwilling to use our flesh and blood to fill the bottomless pit of street fighting, so we have been besieging Abadan, but we have not achieved the expected goal. Anyway, we cannot defeat Abadan for the time being. Why not take advantage of the Iranian counterattack and make a strategic retreat. In this way, Abadan's defenders will definitely come out. We have been besieging them for a year, and they have been holding back. After they withdraw, we will have enough methods to deal with the Iranians." Zhang Feng said.

"Retreat? Father, absolutely not. This is a betrayal of Allah!" Uday said from the side.

Saddam ignored Uday. Although he hated the word retreat, he really appreciated this combat theory.

"If the Iranians really mobilized several divisions to attack us, can we resist the attack on Abadan's army?" Adnan thought more. The Iranian tanks were too powerful. If they were fighting outside Abadan, they might not have enough troops.

"We are not without strength, we just haven't fully tapped our strength." Zhang Feng said: "Father, if we rely solely on our army, the T-62 main battle tanks we equipped in the field are indeed not as powerful as the Iranian chiefs, but we still have our own advantages! Now, the Iranian aircraft have lost its parts source, and not many can be put into combat. Our air force is gradually becoming stronger. We can use the air force to focus on attacking the ground with attack aircraft, kill the most elite tank division of the Iranians, and win our victory! In the Susangild swamp, our 35th Brigade could hardly stand it. As soon as the air force arrived, it defeated the Iranian armored division."

Hearing these words, Abid's eyes were filled with hope. He looked at Zhang Feng. The second young master's words were considered to be about his heart.

Air Force? Saddam intuitively wanted to shake his head.

"Father, modern warfare is different from during World War II. The air force has a very powerful maneuverability advantage in the sky. Our Su-17, Su-20, and MiG-23 are all very good types of ground support. Moreover, we also have Mi-24 armed helicopters. When dealing with the Iranian armored forces, these aircraft can play a great role. We must give full play to our advantages and hit the weakness of the Iranians. What we need most is victory!"

The last sentence made Saddam think, "Yes, what he needs is victory. Now, the war has fallen into a glued state. Victory, victory after victory is what he needs."

Even if it is dispatched, the air force of the Southern Military Region will be dispatched. The air forces around Baghdad are still under their own strict supervision, so there should be no big problems.

"Father, I guess that the Iranians will launch an attack on the Abadan army at the end of September. We don't have much time to prepare and we must complete the combat plan and deployment as soon as possible." Zhang Feng said.

"Kusai, you must be very confident when you say that?" Saddam suddenly smiled.

"Father, if the Air Force can complete the predetermined strategic goal, we will definitely fight a beautiful annihilation battle! Eliminate Iran's army, take down Abadan, capture Khomeini Port, and fight until Munich!" In the words, there was a momentum of a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger.

What Saddam likes the most is this momentum. He has no dog son. He is already full of pride for his son and has been winning battles these times.

"Okay, I agree." Saddam said: "The Air Force of the Southern Military Region is ready to support the ground forces."

"Yes, Your Excellency the President," Abid said.

"Kusai, you go back to the Southern Military Region. Now, your position is the special counsel of the Southern Military Region Command. Note that your position is in the headquarters. If the last incident happens again, I will transfer you back to Baghdad immediately." Saddam said.

His own son went to the battlefield and fought with the Iranians in person. This kind of thing is enough to do once.

"Yes, Your Excellency the President!" Zhang Feng was extremely happy.

"After going back, formulate a detailed combat plan and submit it to the Revolutionary Command Committee." Saddam continued.

The Revolutionary Command Committee was a military institution established when it was formulated to attack Iran, and its chairman was Saddam himself.

"Yes, Your Excellency the President," Zhang Feng asked tentatively: "Can that Arslan be transferred to the Southern Military Region and make meritorious service?"
