Chapter 1015 Be Careful (Plus 2)

Tehran, the Royal Palace of Iran.

King Reza Khan was walking around anxiously, and at this time, his heart was quite uneasy.

Qazvin is the western gate of Tehran. If Qazvin cannot achieve a crucial victory, the whole of Iran will be in danger.

Suddenly, he heard hurried footsteps outside, and then he saw Prime Minister Mansur, walking in at the fastest pace, shouting: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the great victory of Qazvin, We wiped out a Soviet cavalry division and captured more than 2,000 people!"

In an instant, King Reza Khan was happy: "Great, great!"

The Great Victory of Qazvin is of great commemorative significance. The Soviet army marched straight in and was invincible. Finally, in Qazvin, the cavalry division, which underestimated the enemy, accidentally fell into the encirclement and was finally wiped out. The Soviets wanted to The plan to destroy Iran quickly was aborted.

And this is just the beginning!

Like other places, Tabriz was also on the verge of collapse in the Soviet offensive, and Novikov immediately became cautious after receiving the news of Qazvin.

Obviously, the Iranians are not as weak as they are now, and they can also set up an ambush, wipe out a cavalry division of their own, and underestimate the enemy's rash advance, which is the least worthwhile.

Originally, Novikov also ordered his own 1st Mountain Cavalry Division to quickly reinforce the 23rd Cavalry Division. Now, he calmed down immediately and ordered the 23rd Cavalry Division to temporarily stop advancing!

It didn't take long. In the second half of the night, the Independent 44th Tank Brigade finally arrived.

In the early attack, they relied on the cavalry to attack quickly in the mountains. However, even if the cavalry was dragging horse-drawn machine guns, the firepower was still insufficient. Therefore, behind them, the tank brigade also crossed the border, but In the process of advancing, the tank brigade was not as fast as the cavalry.

They had planned to rush to the battlefield when they were besieging Tehran, and as soon as the tanks appeared outside, see if the Iranians surrendered or not!

Now, with the arrival of the Independent 44th Tank Brigade, General Novikov regained his confidence. He took the Tank Brigade and the Cavalry Division on his own path of no return.

Go to Qazvin and attack Tehran!

With the continuous expansion of Soviet tank production, it is finally possible to change other troops. For example, the current independent 44th tank brigade has completely completed the new change.

The 44th Tank Brigade has two tank battalions, 1 T34 tank at the battalion headquarters, 3 companies per battalion, 1 company 5 KV1 tanks, 2 company 7 T34, 3 company 10 light tanks, and a motorized infantry. camp.

The rest, such as reconnaissance company, maintenance company, transportation company, sanitary platoon and so on.

The brigade's 1,471 people are equipped with 20 two light tanks, 16 T34 tanks, 16 KV tanks, 10 military trucks, 156 45mm anti-tank guns, and 8 82mm mortars.

These are all data on paper. In actual combat, it is difficult to equip the entire brigade. However, the 44th Tank Brigade is a fully-staffed tank brigade. They are the most powerful brigade in the entire Central Asian Military Region. .

Brigade Commander Dmitri Raff was sitting in his T-34 tank, his body was bumping with the tank, and at the same time, he was still looking at his marching map.

Tanks can't walk on the mountain path, they can only walk on the main road. Fortunately, there are cavalry troops in front of them, so they can provide them with early warning. Now, what he is most worried about is being ambushed by the other party's large troops, just like that The same as the killed cavalry division.

It took almost a whole day, and finally, they also arrived at Godasco Valley.

The stones blocking the valley were removed, and on the peaks at the top of the valley, sentries had already gone up in advance to confirm that there was no ambush there.

There was a stench throughout the valley, flies were flying around, and there were corpses of war dead everywhere, and even the corpse fortifications were still laid out as they were.

Looking at all this, all the Soviet soldiers were angry, these hateful Iranians, after the battle, did not bury their bodies!

This is the greatest disrespect to the dead!

"Brigade commander, General Novikov ordered us to quickly pass through the valley and do not stop." Dmitrylav wanted to stop, but was stopped by the order given by the radio operator.

They also have difficulties in passing through the valley quickly. Now, they have no time to bury the body. They must go to support quickly, fight Qazvin, fight Tehran, and when Tehran is solved, they must drive the citizens of Tehran to bury here. Corpse!

Dmitri Raff clenched his fists, he hid his anger, took the troops, passed the canyon, he did not look outside again, that would make him furious.

Before the sun was about to set, the entire army finally came outside Qazvin.

The cavalry did not enter the city immediately, but surrounded the surrounding area. General Novikov's face was full of anxiety.

Qazvin is the western gate of Tehran. The Soviet Union must capture Qazvin before it can advance to Tehran. Now, he seems to have a hunch that this battle will not be as smooth as before.

When he saw the arrival of his own tank troops, General Novikov relaxed a little: "Major Dmitrilav, you arrived in time, we will take a short rest outside for a night, and tomorrow morning, we will Attack the city!"

Entering the urban area at night is a taboo. With the cover of night and buildings, the opponent is likely to attack the Soviet troops. For the Soviet troops, accidental casualties can no longer occur, and they must be careful.

"Yes." Dmitry Lav replied immediately, saluting General Novikov, and then went down to prepare.

Along the way, the tank also needs maintenance, checking the tracks, artillery, refueling, etc., it is ready tonight, just to launch the attack tomorrow.

After rushing for a day, the tank soldiers felt that their bodies were about to fall apart, but they were still taking care of them carefully. If something went wrong during the battle, it would be a big trouble.

When they finished the maintenance and refueled, everyone was exhausted, just found a place, lay down and fell asleep.

Tank soldiers, looking majestic, are actually quite a tiring job.

At this moment, almost as they thought, in the headquarters in Qazvin City, the German defense master, Model, was meditating on the map. When he raised his head, he said to the generals present: "I Look, we can totally organize a night attack!"
