Chapter 192: Flying Fish Attack (1)
Zhang Feng didn't know that there was a problem within the Iranians' command system, otherwise, the opposing warship would have been dispatched that night, which gave him what he needed most: time.
The engineers have been working all night and all the hardware has been installed and the software is being upgraded. This modified Mirage F1 will soon have the anti-ship capabilities that Iraq lacks most.
Yesterday's war can be regarded as a profound lesson for the Iranian Air Force, and besides, today's weather is very bad, and there is a white fog all around, and in this weather, even if the Iranian Air Force sorties again, it will not be able to bomb Abadan again.
Zhang Feng couldn't help but thank God for giving him such a good opportunity, after yesterday's battle, his own losses were also very large, he was negotiating with Baghdad, asking for a few Mirage F1 to come over, but there was no response, so he could only rely on these fighters now to guard against the Iranian attack again.
Hamad had returned to Basrah Air Base, and at his strong request, Mr. Zhang agreed to train him in the essentials of the missile's use and restrictions on its altitude.
At this time, Hashmian was reporting the situation on the front line to Khomeini in Tehran, although the losses this time were a bit large, but as long as the fleet attacked the Faw Peninsula in Iraq after dispatching, the other side would definitely be in a hurry, and it would be easy to regain the lost territory when the time came, so there was no need to use those young soldiers to carry out suicide attacks, which would be useless in the war, and fighting a war was the business of professional soldiers.
And Tahe, who was next to him, was chattering about his dissatisfaction with the Islamic Revolution, his cold reception of the Revolutionary Guards, and his lack of command at all... Halfway through, Khomeini was already interrupted.
Hashmian is glad that the Supreme Leader is still very wise and has a high vision, and the Supreme Leader just doesn't know about those things in the Revolutionary Guards.
Tah was left behind, and Hashmian returned, by which time a full day had passed.
In Hashmian's ears, Khomeini's voice was still echoing: "Since the army is under your command, then I believe in you, hoping that you can recover the lost territory and contribute your strength to the defeat of Iraq." The words are very frank, and there is no sense of hypocrisy.
It's just that Khomeini's complexion is no longer very good, and Hashmian knows that Khomeini's early life of wandering around and tossing and turning has shown traces of time on his body, and he is already old.
The future of Iran belongs to those young people, and there must be no more such young soldiers! Hashmian was going to prove himself right with a beautiful battle to regain lost territory.
What he is most proud of is the special operation of the Navy, and it must be such an imaginative thing to set foot on the Fao Peninsula directly!
In the evening of the same day, Hashmian gave the order for the navy to make a sortie.
Although before this, an Iraqi plane appeared in the port of Khomeini, but the army commander at the port only thought that the Iraqi plane had arrived by accident, and besides, as soon as the artillery fire was fired, the other side fled, so this time they encountered enemy aircraft reconnaissance, they did not report it, otherwise, the cautious Hashmian would probably have to be redeployed.
From the port of Khomeini, by water, the warship will arrive at the Faw Peninsula before dawn in the early morning, which is the most conducive to concealing their whereabouts, and after dawn, they can also get the support of their own air force, at present, the attention of the Iraqi Air Force is all on Abadan, under the surprise attack, the Faw Peninsula has a great possibility that it will fall into its own hands.
And when the time comes, the whole of Iraq will be shocked and will mobilize troops from all over the country in a vain attempt to drive this army into the sea. And those places such as Abadan, where heavy troops are gathered, there will be a gap in the defense, and when the time comes, the army near Abadan will recover Abadan in one fell swoop! And he will go down in history.
In the harbor, the huge warship began to move and slowly left the port.
After the reconnaissance plane finished reconnaissance, he sent several members of the Sidewinder special forces to infiltrate the vicinity of Khomeini Port and observe it with high-powered binoculars and low-light night vision devices.
The other party's actions have finally begun.
Zhang Feng has always been worried that if the other party pounces on him when the integration of his Exocet missiles and Mirage F1 fighters has not yet been completed, there is really no way to deal with them at night.
Now, he is 80 percent sure that although there is only one Exocet missile, it has reached the best condition under the debugging of French engineers, and that 20 percent is afraid that Hamad, who launched the Exocet missile for the first time, will make a mistake.
In all fairness, Zhang Feng was very surprised by the Iranians' attack this time, in the air battle a day ago, the opponent's aircraft group bombed in batches, and then launched an attack on land, showing the commander's good command quality, if it were not for the desperate fight of the first batch of four fighters of his own side, Abadan would have been in a fire, and the armored troops of the 35th Division would have suffered heavy losses under the bombardment of the other side.
And now, with the addition of the navy, all branches of the armed forces are closely coordinated, and the strategy and tactics are very skillful, and the commander of the other side is definitely no longer the supporters of Khomeini who won the power at the beginning, but a former senior political axe officer with professional education in the United States.
Who is this person? Zhang Feng was a little curious.
Although the other party's command concept is advanced enough, it can only play 60 points at most. Because, one of the big flaws of the opponent is that if they do not fully understand the opponent, they will launch an attack wishfully, in the words of the old Oriental countries, knowing oneself and knowing the other, in order to win all battles, but the other side seems to be playing chess, you play yours, I play mine.
In the air battle, the other side does not know the power of their Phantom F1, which is one of them, and now, the other party dispatches the navy, but does not know that they have strengthened the defense of the Fau Peninsula, which is the second, they already have Exocet missiles, which are enough to kill the opponent's largest warship, and the other party does not know it, which is the third.
Therefore, although this battle is said to be in a hurry, the final winner must be himself!
On the runway of Basra Air Base, a Mirage F1 has been pushed out of the hangar, and under the lights, the missile more than four meters long under the belly of the aircraft looks so dazzling, tonight, it will usher in the glory of its own life.
Exocet, the name, will be a nightmare for the Iranian Navy.
Hamad looked like he had been shot down from the sky the day before, and he stood on the runway in good spirits, watching the warplane.
A pilot, shot down in the sky, then, a considerable number of people, will suffer from phobia, afraid of flying, will not return to the blue sky for the rest of their lives, and some people, will learn from the failures and eventually grow into ace pilots! Hamad is convinced that he belongs to the latter.
