The first thousand and twenty-six chapters take the initiative to attack
"Come? Is it Kvashning?" Lieutenant General Franks, commander of the 7th Army, suffocated his movements with his pencil, turned around and exhaled gently, his face as serious as ever, and his eyes were a little unsightly, "This battle is in Iraq, and it hurts the whole world. The subsequent impact is not something we can control, but at this time we have no choice, so prepare to fight."
After speaking, Lieutenant General Franks stopped talking. As a heavy force, the Seventh Army was the mission of facing the Soviet Red Army. Unfortunately, most of this country is a desert, and it is not a friendly environment for the defense.
This is a very dangerous distance for the US Seventh Army and the Soviet Red Flag Sixth Tank Army. Speaking with numbers, Basra is only 40 kilometers away from the Kuwait border and less than an hour by car. In the distance of less than 40 kilometers, the Seventh Army, which has seven division-level heavy troops, is far away from the Red Flag Sixth Tank Army, which has eight divisions, including an artillery division. From the battlefield, this distance is not far even in ancient times.
It is due to the reason that the Soviet Union and the United States were afraid of each other. If they were not each other's opponents, if another country was fighting against the two countries, the two troops would not have allowed the enemy to be so close to them.
"Is this damn ghost weather a sandstorm?" Lieutenant General Kvashning, who had just arrived in Basra, looked at the gradually darkening sky. At this time, he encountered nature that was disrupting the situation, and was in a very bad mood. At such a close distance, under the cover of the sandstorm, once the United States starts to raid, he will be in trouble.
"Each unit is ready to fight, maintain communication with each other, and prevent the US military from attacking us." As the yellow sand in the sky disrupted visibility, Lieutenant General Kwashning had to issue a guard order. He could not rest assured to the enemy, which was irresponsible to his own soldiers.
Under the guidance of radar, the anti-destructive barrage consisting of anti-aircraft guns is warned of altitudes of one thousand to three thousand meters, within a range of ten to twenty kilometers to prevent the US military from attacking during the sandstorm. The Shileka River air defense vehicle, Tunguska portable bullets, BMP and BTR machine guns, and the accompanying low-altitude air defense network. These two layers of air defense networks are arranged behind the Tank Army and protected by the steel torrent of the Hongqi Sixth Tank Army.
Forty kilometers south, Lieutenant General Franks, standing at the entrance of the commander's department, was in the strong wind with thoughts. He let the tiny grains of sand hit him, as if he was feeling the charm of nature.
"The artillery division that accompanied the Soviet army, with a volley, may one of our divisions disappear directly from the battle sequence. I hope to report the situation of our Seventh Army to the country immediately. We all know that once the Soviet tank army is activated, no force can stop it. After a day, Baglamyan will bring more Soviet troops to the battlefield. At that time, we have no other way out except to surrender." Lieutenant General Franks said to Lieutenant General Franks on the phone, "It's time to show his decisiveness. If Kuwait City is not conquered in one day, it's a question whether we can leave."
This greeting from nature made the already very sensitive situation even more complicated. The US Seventh Army and the Soviet Sixth Tank Army quickly sent the weather conditions in southern Iraq to the domestic meeting.
The heavy armored troops of the Seventh Army rushed over, like an endless iron stream. Under the cover of Abrams' main battle tanks and armed helicopters, they lined up in neat formations and attacked the defense line of the Sixth Tank Army in a straight line. The artillery shells of the American rocket artillery landed accurately on the enemy's positions, providing cover for the tank troops' assault.
The Abrams tanks, which occupied a vantage point at a high altitude, began to shoot. This fierce and sluggish battle was the first time that the Sargon main battle tank and the T80 main battle tank. But immediately, the US military immediately knew why some people described the Soviet Red Army as a mobile torrent of steel, with the T80 tank as the vanguard. The huge tank group of t72b tanks appeared continuously in the storm, surging like a flood breaking through the dam.
The Soviet tank soldiers in the war did not place the tanks neatly like the West in August 1st, and their coquettish movements showed the foundation of a powerful army. Any Soviet tank soldiers who could perform ballistic calculations alone were also trying to figure out the opponent's psychology. Facing Abrams' first fire, the Soviet tank group was not in a hurry to fight back. In this visibility state, the Soviet tank players who were also equipped with night vision instruments and infrared equipment knew that the hit was entirely due to faith, and they were completely unlucky to be hit, and they still needed to wait patiently.
They do not allow the tank to be parked in a fixed position, and always use short stop sliding shooting. They use their rich tank operation experience and figure out the judgment in the tank palm, which makes the tank players on the opposite side feel very uncomfortable.
The idea of the US armored division was naturally to rely on the advantages of night vision equipment to continuously open fire outside the detection range of the Soviet T-72 tank night vision instrument. First, it eliminated the most threatening T-72 tanks, and then spread out into wedge-shaped echelons in units of tank platoons, gradually approaching the Soviet position. Defeat the tank troops and let the infantry collapse. This trick is useful to Iraq, but is basically useless to the Soviet Union.
Any army includes a small number of armored soldiers and a large number of infantry, but the Soviet Union is different. As early as the end of the Patriotic War, the Soviet Red Army, which suffered a great loss, completed the mechanization of the entire army in a short time. In the sequence of the Soviet armed forces, without the infantry division, Lieutenant General Franks' fighting style would not have the effect of driving a duck into the sea.
"Warring? Who will fire first?" General Bagramiyan was shocked. The war began a bit suddenly. Even now, he still felt that under the threat of nuclear weapons, all his preparations might be useless. The two countries might compromise, but now, this possibility no longer exists.
"Transfer my order, the 24th Air Force will immediately bomb the air base listed in the earlier plan, and there is also?" General Bagramiyan seemed to come back to his senses and suddenly looked at the sky, "The whole army immediately built a mobile air defense system..."
