Chapter 117 In order to win, everything can be given up
The fires around were still shining, and this sneak attack was coming to an end.
The casualties were reported continuously. At the same time, the enemy in the city launched a total of 63 attacks. The largest was the command center here and the tank station. Each attack was covered with artillery fire. The smallest attack was just a shell, some even knocked away without causing any damage, and some were very unfortunate. For example, the maintenance troops were blown up by oil tankers, causing heavy losses.
General Novikov looked at the mess all over the ground, looked at Major Dmitrylav who was on fire, and said lightly: "Put our tanks away and fire ten shells."
At this time, it is absolutely unwise to rush into the city. The people inside must be ready. In the darkness, the advantages of the tank are not obvious. On the contrary, it will become a target and be easily destroyed by the opponent.
Therefore, General Novikov did not agree with Dmitrylav's request.
Major Dmitrylav, who was full of anger, returned to his own troops and conveyed the orders from his superiors.
"Shoot into the city!"
shooting!
The tank troops were also extremely angry. They were attacked by sneak attacks!
When the opponent's rockets flew over, they were all asleep. There were cavalry guards outside, so they were too tired, so no one was on guard at all. In this way, they were greeted by shells.
At the same time, when they were attacked, they reacted extremely quickly. They jumped onto the tank and started. The cannon leader turned the turret, but could not find the target.
It is true that the target cannot be found. The opponent's shooting is several kilometers away. If there is no clear fire, they cannot determine the position. The opponent will run away after hitting!
Now, I finally received the order and fired directly into the city!
Tanks raised their gun barrels and loaded their loaders to stuff the 76mm grenade into the gun barrel until the captain gave a clear command: "Fire!"
"Boom!" A huge flame emerged from the muzzle. In the front of the flame, a 76mm grenade flew out of the muzzle and flew into the city!
Tank guns opened fire together, and the entire tank soldiers' positions were trembling violently.
"Boom!" The shells fell on the houses, on the streets, on the land in the urban area, and exploded large pits, and the ground was trembling.
"The Soviets were so calm that they didn't even chase after him." In a basement in Ghazwin City, a group of generals were communicating with smiles.
Using rocket launchers to sneak attack and run away after they hit. This tactic has opened the eyes of the Iranians. They are quite interested in the fighting methods of the German army. Some people are already suggesting to introduce German equipment in full and form German equipment divisions.
However, later, Germany put forward a requirement that there is no problem in introducing German equipment, but German instructors must be trained.
This matter was discussed after the war. At least now, the aimless artillery attacks of the Soviets made everyone present relax. An angered opponent is not scary, and a deep and experienced opponent is difficult to deal with.
Model did not discuss these issues. He was still thinking about the city map. In the upcoming street battle, how can we kill the vitality of the Soviets in large quantities while minimizing casualties as much as possible?
Fortifications and fortresses are the most important things. To rationally arrange firepower points, effectively use their own weapons and personnel to achieve an optimal combination, Model must consider both strategy and tactics.
"General, the latest information." A staff officer hurried in and handed the telegram to Model.
After receiving the telegram, Model's face changed immediately.
The 402nd Soviet infantry division was coming quickly, and now passed through Tabriz and will arrive in Ghazwin tomorrow!
Now, the power in Ghazwin City is enough to deal with the existing tank brigades and cavalry divisions of the Soviets, but if one infantry division is added, it would be different.
In street fighting, a lot of people and a lot of power is an unchanging truth. It is compared to who has more guns and whose guns are faster!
The sudden increase in infantry division will make Ghazwin's situation critical!
What should I do? Should I give up Ghazwin? If I give up here, the Soviets will head straight into the army and the Summit will directly point to Tehran!
The entire basement became silent, and everyone looked at Model. They also realized that the situation had become complicated this time, but they believed that Model would have a solution!
Model looked at the large-scale map on the wall and observed carefully. Finally, he made up his mind: "Appoint the Stuka bomber to blow up the bridge on the Uzan River near Mianne. It must be completely blown up, and there is no possibility of repair."
Hearing Model's words, an Iranian officer suddenly became anxious: "No, we spent a lot of money to build that bridge. It has just been put into use for less than five years!"
"Major General, pay attention to your thinking. Now is the war period. If the bridge is destroyed, it can be built again. If the Soviets rushed over, our city of Gazwin will be lost. We will kill and injured thousands of soldiers. Compared with the lives of these soldiers, what is a bridge? If you think it is not suitable, then I order you to lead a unit to block the reinforcements of the Soviet infantry division?"
The Iranian major general finally stopped talking, and Model's face was still serious: "This is a war, or it may turn into a war of destruction. It is related to Iran's life and death, and everything can be given up!"
Until now, these Iranians still don’t turn around. If they hadn’t brought people here, the Soviets would have really been able to fight to Tehran! Model was convinced by these guys, and he still didn’t even understand what the war was.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, so driving at such nights is nothing.
The 402nd Soviet Infantry Division belonged to the Soviet Transcaucasus Military Region. They did not want to participate in the war of invading Iran. For them, invading Iran was just a matter of tying their fingers.
As a result, a reorganized cavalry division was wiped out in the valley. The Soviet senior officials immediately realized that something was wrong, and the reinforcements were ordered to come.
