During the Iran-Iraq war, Iraq's military command made a serious mistake by attaching too much importance to the struggle for one city and one place and neglecting the elimination of vital forces.

In order to capture Khoram Shahr, on September 25 last year, the Iraqi army launched a surprise attack on Khoram Shahr. Who knows, I thought it would be easy to take it, but in the end, it fell into the traps of the opponent, and in the narrow network of streets and roads stuffed with obstacles, the attacking armored division was unexpectedly hit hard. With the rapid reinforcement of a special brigade, the Iraqi army, which had been bloody for fifteen days, finally captured Khoram Shahr, but more than 1,500 people were killed and more than 4,000 were wounded; Iran paid an even more tragic price: more than 3,000 dead and more than 5,000 wounded. Later, Iraq renamed Khoram Shahr Hunnen Shahr - the City of Blood, and every inch of the land was dripping with the blood of those soldiers, which was now in ruins. But as a strategic location, Iraq has stationed the strength of an infantry division here.

In the war, too much emphasis on the mastery of the city is undoubtedly the most unsightly, and the main goal should be to destroy the enemy's living forces, how many troops does Iran have in total? Wipe out half of his forces, and they will be completely incapacitated to resist. Fighting in the streets in such a fortified city and paying heavy casualties is simply not worth it.

Zhang Feng knew that it was still a little difficult for his father Saddam Hussein to accept this point of view, after all, occupying the enemy's territory was very glorious. Therefore, what he is proposing now is a temporary alternative.

Now, Abadan has been under siege and has never been defeated, so it doesn't mean to give up the land that has been acquired, right? Lure out the defenders of Abadan and destroy them on the flat ground, don't you worry about destroying each other?

"What do you mean?" Adnan asked tentatively, "Do you want us to abandon the siege of Abbataan?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Feng said: "Although we have been surrounding Abadan on land, but Abadan is a port, on the side of the waterway, we can't surround it, we have besieged it for a year, and we have no choice but to get Abadan, the other party has been using ships to deliver supplies to the Abadan defenders, and if we surround it again, I'm afraid we won't be able to take any advantage, so let's take a step back." ”

"Go on." Saddam said.

"Our problem is that we are not willing 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, Abadan we can't fight for the time being, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity of the Iranian counteroffensive, we do a strategic retreat, in this way, the defenders of Abadan will definitely follow out, we have besieged them for a year, they have long held back their strength, and when they withdraw, we have enough ways to deal with the Iranians." Zhang Feng said.

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

Saddam Hussein ignored Uday, and although he hated the word retreat, he really appreciated this operational theory.

"If the Iranians really mobilize a few divisions to attack us, will we be able to resist the army in Abadan?" Adnan thought more, the Iranians had too many tanks, and they were fighting in the field outside Aladan, and I was afraid that those troops would not be enough.

"It's not that we don't have power, we just don't tap into our power to the fullest." Zhang Feng said: "Father, if we only rely on our army, the T-62 main battle tank we are equipped with, in the field, it is indeed not as powerful as the Iranian chieftain, but we still have our own advantages!" Nowadays, the Iranian planes have lost their source of parts, and there are not many that can be put into combat, and our air force is gradually becoming stronger, and we can use the air force to focus on the ground attack with attack aircraft, kill the most elite tank division of the Iranians, and win our victory! In the Susangild marshes, our 35th Brigade was almost overwhelmed, and as soon as the air force arrived, it smashed the Iranian panzer division. ”

Hearing these words, Abid's eyes were full of hope, and he looked at Zhang Feng, the words of the second son can be regarded as speaking to his heart.

Air force? Saddam Hussein, instinctively, wanted to shake his head.

"Father, modern warfare is not the same as in World War II, the Air Force is in the sky, it has a very strong mobile advantage, with our Su-17, Su-20, MiG-23, are all very good ground support aircraft, and we also have Mi-24 helicopter gunships, these aircraft can play a great role in dealing with the armored forces of the Iranians, we have to give full play to our own advantages and hit the weakness of the Iranians. What we need most is victory! ”

The last sentence made Saddam's heart move, yes, what he needs is victory, and now, the war has fallen into a glued state, and victory, victory after victory, is what he needs.

Even if it is dispatched, it will be the air force of the Southern Military District, and the air force around Baghdad is still under its own close supervision, so there should not be much of a problem.

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

"Kusay, you must be very confident when you say that?" Saddam Hussein suddenly laughed.

"Father, if the Air Force can accomplish the predetermined strategic objectives, we will definitely fight a beautiful war of annihilation! Destroy the Iranian army, take Abadan, take the port of Khomeini, and fight all the way to Munich! In the words, there is a kind of newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers.

Saddam's favorite thing is this momentum, the tiger father has no dog son, he is already full of pride in his son, these few times, has been winning battles.

"Okay, I agreed." Saddam said: "The air force of the Southern Military District is ready to support the ground forces. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency." Abid said.

"Qusay, you go back to the Southern Military Region, now, your position is the special staff officer of the Southern Military District Command, pay attention, your post is in the headquarters, if what happened last time happens again, I will immediately transfer you back to Baghdad." Saddam said.

His own son, personally going to the battlefield and fighting with the Iranians, this kind of thing, it is enough to do it once.

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Zhang Feng was overjoyed.

"When you get back, draw up a detailed battle plan and submit it to the Revolutionary Command Committee." Saddam Hussein continued.

The Revolutionary Command Council is a military body established when the attack on Iran was planned, and the chairman was Saddam himself.

"Yes, Your Excellency the President," Zhang Feng asked tentatively, "That Arslan, can you transfer him to the Southern Military Region and make meritorious service for his crimes?" ”
