Chapter 1013： Be careful (1/2)

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. .
