Chapter 1007： Handan Toddler

Go forward, go forward, the proudest cavalry of the Soviets, invincible!

Galloping horses in the mountains of northern Iran, you can realize that cavalry is the most suitable unit here. They have strong mobility and flexibility. At the same time, the machine guns dragged behind the horses also allow them to, when needed, Strong firepower at any time!

The 23rd Cavalry Division was almost dispatched together with the 1st Mountain Cavalry Division, but the attacking routes were different.

The 1st Mountain Cavalry Division has already had several kilograms, and when it is marching towards Tabriz, the 23rd Cavalry Division has also established many achievements.

Rush, rush! The cavalry wielded their sabers and cut the occasional Iranian soldiers who resisted in half. The soldiers of the Iranian border guards behind them quickly threw their guns and surrendered.

This battle went too smoothly!

The commander, Colonel Baranov, rode on his horse, observing his long line.

They marched east along the southern shore of the Caspian Sea. Within a day, they rushed to the port of Enzeri and occupied Rasht. Now, after a night's rest, the physical strength of their cavalry and horses have been restored.

Today, they are going to occupy the west gate of Tehran, the city of Qazvin!

When they attacked on the coast of the Caspian Sea, they were walking on the flat coast, but now, marching southward, they entered the mountains.

The cavalry formation is impossible in the mountains. This kind of long snake formation is easy to be ambushed by the enemy.

That also requires the enemy to have time to prepare for an ambush! In this battle, the Soviet army has formulated tactics for quick battles and quick decisions. These are all lessons learned from the German blitzkrieg.

Fast, this is the only magic weapon. As long as the speed is fast enough to make the opponent unexpected, it is impossible for the opponent to organize an effective counterattack!

This way, the Iranian army did not have any decent resistance at all. Everywhere the Iranian army went, the Iranian army collapsed thousands of miles. This made the Soviet cavalry even more excited. For them, today, they have increased their whip and occupied Qazvin. City, tomorrow, can join the first army in Qazvin city, and then rush to Tehran!

On both sides, there are tall and towering mountains, set ambush? Wake up, can you transport the equipment to the mountain without ten and a half months?

Colonel Baranov was not worried about being ambushed, he was only worried that his speed was not fast enough.

The cavalry marched for an hour, and the mountain pass in front became even more dangerous.

Godasco Valley!

Iran’s roads are built along the inside of the valley. Both sides of the valley are high mountains, and they stretch for more than ten kilometers.

"Commander, shall we send someone to the top of the mountain to check it out?" said Koenig, the cavalry company commander beside Baranov.

Koenig is a tall Cossack who has lived on horseback since he was a child. The most noticeable thing is a scar on his face, from the corner of the left eye to the right side of the mouth, almost across the entire cheek.

This was left when fighting against the White Army. For the Cossack men, it was a kind of pride to be slashed in the face by the opponent's saber. They were born to fight and were wounded in battle. It is an honor.

Now, Koenig has also discovered the danger of the terrain. If there are enemies ambushing on the peaks on both sides, it is a great threat to his side.

"No, all we need to do is to speed up the whip and run over!" Baranov said: "We have no time to delay. It is our goal to hit Tehran in two days."

In two days, about two days later, Baranov has lost face. If he can't wait for the first army in Qazvin, he even plans to go to Tehran by himself and rush into the ceremony. In Sa Khan’s palace, Reza Khan was captured alive and taken back to the Soviet Union!

Hurry up and rush over!

After walking through this valley, Qazvin is in front of him, and he can't wait.

At the urging of Baranov, the forward did not hesitate, and one by one white horses stepped into the Godasco Valley.

They didn't know that, on both sides of the top of the mountain, at this time, there were pairs of eyes watching the arrival of this huge army.

There are actually not many Iranian troops.

The size of the Iranian Army is about 120,000. They are organized into two Royal Guards Divisions equipped with 105mm Skoda artillery. Both are stationed in Tehran. Nine ordinary divisions are stationed in six military regions across the country. Five of them are in the north. In defense of the Soviet Union, four divisions defended the oil fields in the south, while also preparing for possible maritime attacks.

In addition to these, there are five military police brigades and an independent mechanized brigade.

These troops did not immediately play a role in the Soviet invasion, because they were scattered in various stations, they could not be gathered and twisted into fists, and they were easily attacked by the SovietsThey Not ready yet.

Even if it had been a day, Mordel had just assembled the forces of about six battalions near Qazvin, plus the 167th Infantry Division that hurriedly arrived. The total number has just exceeded 10,000. However, Mordel has already Is full of confidence.

Toddler in Handan.

The Soviets wanted to learn from the German blitzkrieg. They used cavalry to replace tanks in the mountainous areas, and they had the ability to quickly maneuver. All the way, they really defeated the Iranians.

However, the essence of the German blitzkrieg is definitely not only the use of mobile advantages to attack. On the way forward, it must be accompanied by a large number of Stuka bombers to blow up the enemy in advance!

The Soviets have used bombers. Their bombers are just a kind of intimidation. They throw two bombs at the city indiscriminately, telling the citizens not to try to resist the invasion of the Soviet army!

It's that simple, it's too pediatric.

Of course, this is also for a reason. Northern Iran is in mountainous areas. Anti-aircraft machine guns can easily be concealed. Even light machine guns can shoot in the air. The Soviets lacked effective armored ground attack aircraft. Some Il-2 are deployed to the west.

Moreover, they also felt unnecessary. There were no large-scale fortifications in the mountains of Iran, and they could not find a suitable target.

Moreover, the Soviet Army’s consistent thinking made them underestimate the role of the Air Force. If they could have an aircraft searching on the way forward, they would avoid this tragic annihilation.

Mordel's headquarters was set up in a natural cave on the backside of the hillside, and the reports from the front line were continuously passed to his headquarters.

"The striker of the Soviets has entered our ambush zone!" ()
