Tehran, the Royal Palace of Iran.
King Reza Khan was walking around anxiously. At this time, his heart was quite uneasy.
Gazvin is the west gate of Tehran. If Gazvin cannot achieve a crucial victory, then the entire Kingdom of Iran is in danger.
Suddenly, he heard a rush of footsteps outside, and then he saw Prime Minister Mansour, walking in at the fastest pace, walking in, shouting: "Your Majesty the King, Your Majesty the King, Qazvin Victory, 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 victory of Gazvin is of great commemorative significance. The Soviet army commander drove straight in and was invincible. Finally, in Gazvin, the cavalry division who underestimated the enemy's advance accidentally fell into the encirclement and was finally wiped out. The Soviets wanted The plan to quickly destroy Iran was thus aborted.
And this is just the beginning!
Like other places, Tabriz was also collapsed in the Soviet offensive, and Novikov immediately became cautious after receiving the news from Gazvin.
Obviously, the Iranians are not as weak as they are seeing now. They can also set up an ambush and wipe out one of their cavalry divisions. It is the least worthwhile to underestimate the enemy's advance.
Originally, Novikov ordered his first mountain cavalry division to quickly reinforce the 23rd Cavalry Division. Now, he immediately calmed down and ordered the 23rd Cavalry Division to stop advancing temporarily!
Did not wait long, in the middle of the night, the independent 44 tank brigade finally arrived.
In the early stage of the attack, the cavalry used to attack quickly in the mountains. However, even if the cavalry dragged the horse-drawn machine guns, the firepower was still insufficient. Therefore, behind them, the tank brigade also crossed the border. In the process of marching, the tank brigade was not as fast as the cavalry.
It was enough that they were planning to rush to the battlefield when they were besieging Tehran. As soon as the tank appeared outside, see if the Iranians surrendered!
Now, with the arrival of the independent 44 tank brigade, General Novikov regained his confidence. With the tank brigade and cavalry division, he embarked on his way of no return.
Go to Qazvin and attack Tehran!
With the continuous expansion of Soviet tank production, it is finally possible to refit other troops. For example, the current independent 44 tank brigade has completely completed the new refit.
The 44th Tank Brigade has two tank battalions, one T34 tank in the battalion, 3 companies per battalion, 5 KV1 tanks in 1 company, 7 T34 tanks in 2 companies, 10 light tanks in 3 companies, and a motorized infantry. camp.
The rest include reconnaissance company, maintenance company, transportation company, sanitation platoon, etc.
The brigade has 1,471 people equipped with 20 taels of light tanks, T34 tanks, 16 KV tanks, 10 military trucks, 156 45 mm anti-tank guns, and 8 82 mm mortars.
These are all data on paper. In actual combat, it is difficult to match the entire brigade. However, the 44 tank brigade is a completely full tank brigade. They are the most powerful brigade in the entire Central Asian Military Region. .
Brigadier Commander Dmitry Lav, sitting in his T-34 tank, his body bumping with the tank, while still looking at his marching map.
Tanks can’t take the mountain trails, they can only take the road. Fortunately, the cavalry units in front of them can provide them with early warning. Now, he is most worried about being ambushed by the opposing force, just like that. The same cavalry division that was killed.
It took almost a whole day, and finally, they also rushed to Godasco Valley.
The stone blocking the valley was removed. On the mountain peak at the top of the valley, a sentry had already gone up in advance to confirm that there was no ambush.
The whole valley was stinking, and flies flew around. Looking around, there were dead bodies everywhere, even the corpse fortifications were still there.
Looking at all this, all the Soviet soldiers were angry. These hateful Iranians did not even bury their bodies after the battle!
This is the greatest disrespect for the dead!
"Brigade commander, General Novikov ordered us to pass through the valley quickly and not to stay." Dmitrylav wanted to stay, but was stopped by the order given by the radio hand.
They also have difficulties passing through the valley quickly. Now, they don’t have time to bury the body. They must go to support quickly, fight Qazvin, fight Tehran, and when they solve Tehran, they must drive the citizens of Tehran to bury it here. Corpse!
Dmitry Laf clenched his fists. He hid his anger and led the troops through the canyon. He did not look outside anymore, which would make him furious.
When the sun was about to set, the entire army finally came outside Qazvin~www.novelhall.com~ The cavalry did not enter the city immediately, but surrounded the surrounding groups. General Novikov’s face was Anxious.
Gazvin is the west gate of Tehran. The Soviet Union must take down Gazvin to advance to Tehran. Now, he seems to have a foreboding that this battle will not be as smooth as before.
After seeing the arrival of his tank troops, General Novikov was considered to relax a little: "Major Dmitrylav, you arrived in time. We will take a rest outside for a while. Tomorrow morning, we will Go into the city!"
It is a taboo to enter the city at night. With the cover of night and buildings, the other party is likely to carry out a sneak attack on the Soviet army. For the Soviet army, accidental casualties can no longer occur, and they must be careful.
"Yes." Dmitrylav replied immediately, saluting General Novikov, and then went down to prepare.
Along the way, the tanks also need maintenance, check the tracks, artillery, refueling, etc., prepared tonight, just to launch the attack tomorrow.
After a day’s journey, the tank soldiers felt that their bodies were about to fall apart, but they were still meticulously maintaining them. If something went wrong during the battle, it would be a big trouble.
When they finished the maintenance and refueled, everyone was exhausted, and they found a place to fall asleep.
Tank soldiers, seemingly majestic, are actually quite tiring work.
At this time, almost as they thought, in the headquarters in Qazvin, the German defensive master, Model, was meditating on the map. When he raised his head, he said to the generals present: "I Look, we can organize a night attack!" ()
