Chapter 1006 The Power of Air Transport
"Boom!" When the bomb hit the ground, the bomb burst into splendid fireworks on the ground, illuminating the surroundings brightly, and it could be seen clearly from a few kilometers away.
"We were indeed bombed!" In the basement of the palace, listening to the report of his ministers, Reza Khan gritted his teeth with hatred: "The Soviets dared not declare war on us, this is a challenge to our entire Iranian people, We must drive away the invaders!"
With that said, he turned his head to the German ambassador and said, "Thank you for your timely reminder. If we didn't conduct a blackout, we would probably be bombed by the Soviets to our capital!"
The Soviets dared to throw bombs on Tehran. If the lights were not controlled in time, Tehran would have been bombed, and even a little loss of personnel and property would not be tolerated.
But now, almost all the bombs of the Soviets were bombed in the suburbs, and some even exploded in the distant mountains, more than ten kilometers away from here.
"Our country is currently actively organizing transportation forces. The earliest aircraft will fly to Tehran before dawn, but it will take about two days to enter the battle." The German ambassador continued: "These two days, I hope The troops on the front line were able to hold on."
This time, the infantry division was invested, but even the infantry division had heavy equipment, such as divisional artillery, etc. Now, after learning that the Soviet Union had launched an invasion war, Germany has moved quickly. 's troops are about to arrive, and even so, they will need to be refurbished before they can fight.
"We will persevere!" King Reza Khan said: "We will persevere until our compatriots arrive."
The eastern sky slowly brightened, and the whole of Iran was broadcasting the speech of His Majesty the King.
"Last night, we got the shocking news that without any warning, the Soviet Union dispatched troops and launched a violent attack on us on the border! This undeclared war is against our whole Iran. Serious violation of sovereignty, we will never give in, we will fight to the end!"
"At this critical juncture, we have the support of our compatriots of the same origin, and we can definitely drive away the invading Soviets! All Iranians, let's take action, in order to drive away the Soviet invaders, contribute to you the power of!"
His Majesty's voice is full of confidence. After all, they have a strong supporter. So far, Germany has never lost, never before, and never will!
Tehran Airport.
In the early morning, the airport is still hazy with fog. Surrounded by mountains, the take-off and landing of the airport here must make the pilot concentrate.
The airport has been under martial law by soldiers, and some senior officials are standing on the runway of the airport, looking at the sky in the distance, waiting eagerly.
"Boom, boom." In the sky in the distance, there was a thunder-like sound, and suddenly, they were all excited, here, here!
I saw several bright spots appeared in the western sky. As the bright spots got closer, they gradually became clear. At the same time, more bright spots appeared behind.
A few small planes around, that are the fighter jets of the Iranian Air Force, escorting the whole process, and in the middle, it is the Atlantic passenger plane!
In later generations, the United States can deploy and reach globally, relying on their advanced air transportation capabilities. Those giant bombers can only be equipped by the United States. Wherever there is a situation, they can reach them.
A large amount of equipment still goes by water, but if the water is bypassed, it will take at least ten days and a half months. The military situation is urgent, and it is impossible to keep up. Now, the German Atlantic passenger plane is usually used for civilian use, and can be used at any time when needed. recruited!
Now, 20 Atlantic passenger planes in Germany have been requisitioned, and these 20 large passenger planes have been able to transport the 167th Infantry Division organically!
At the same time, the transport planes improved by the Atlantic passenger plane are also on the following routes. These transport planes transport the heavy equipment, vehicles, and support artillery of the infantry division. However, the transport capacity is limited and many trips are required.
The wheels of the Atlantic passenger plane touched the ground lightly, slid several hundred meters on the runway, and gently slid into the tarmac on one side.
This action alone shows the skill of training, and at this time, the passenger plane behind has already landed, so no time is wasted at all.
This is definitely the result of a lot of training in the Air Force.
The plane stopped, the cabin door opened, and a group of soldiers ran down from above.
When a group of soldiers came down, at the door of the cabin, an officer stood up, the star on his shoulder shone.
"General Model, welcome to you." Below, Mohammad-Furuji, the commander of the Iranian armed forces, brought a group of people to pay tribute to Model.
"Well, the situation is very urgent now." Model said: "The pre-planned military exercises and military parades are immediately cancelled, and our troops will immediately move north to prepare to ambush the Soviets. Please requisition all your country's cars. , so that we can have enough transportation capacity.”
It was originally planned to use exercises and military parades to tell the Soviets not to cause trouble in Iran, but now that things have happened, this kind of intimidation has lost its effect.
Now, the Soviets should not know that the German army has been stationed in Tehran, so take this opportunity to teach the Soviets a lesson and eat their leading troops.
Model is here to fight, and here, he has the priority to make decisions. The military situation is urgent, and he can make his own decisions without reporting everything to the base camp.
In the airport, transport planes and passenger planes are still landing one after another, transporting people down continuously. At the same time, in a building not far from the airport, a headquarters was temporarily set up. After Model got off the plane , enter the working state.
The situation of the battle was developing very fast. Looking at the latest progress, Model felt that his troops were insufficient.
The Soviets, divided into three routes, the most western route, crossed the Arras River in the Nakhichevan area in southern Azerbaijan, entered Iran, occupied Maku and Hoy, and then marched eastward via Tabriz. .
500 kilometers to their east, another Soviet column marched east along the southern shore of the Caspian Sea, with the goal of capturing the ports of Enzeri and Rasht, and closing in on the city of Qazvin, ready to join the 1st Route Army.
The third Soviet army landed at Shah Port, captured Gorgan and northern Khorasan Province, and prepared to advance to the railway hubs of Semnan and Shahrud.
The movement of the Soviets was great, almost as powerful as the German blitzkrieg. It seemed that overnight, the northern part of Iran was about to fall! Tehran will be conquered within a few days.
The Soviets want to destroy Iran in one fell swoop, or they want to hold Iran in their hands! However, since they are here, the Iranians are doomed to fail!
Model's hand pointed to a position: "Let's start with Qazvin!"
