This war between the Kingdom of Afghanistan and the Persian Kingdom is called the Apo War.↖ Although it was just a war between two small countries, it was equally eye-catching. Because fools knew that this was actually a confrontation between the two major powers of the Chinese Empire and the German Empire. It was also the Apo War that opened the curtain for the full confrontation between the Chinese Empire and the German Empire. Before the beginning of World War II, the Chinese Empire and the German Empire had fought countless such confrontations. However, the best result almost ended with the victory of the Chinese Empire. Of course, this also restrained the energy of the Chinese Empire, giving the German Empire enough time to develop, making World War II more intense.

At 6 a.m. on June 23, 1857, the army of the 200,000 Afghan Kingdom was ready to go. In order to defeat the Persian Kingdom, the Afghan Kingdom tried its best. Akbar Khan sent all his troops to the border, and the domestic security was completely handed over to the police and tribal armed forces to maintain. Of course, Akbar Khan became the king of the Afghan Kingdom with the support of the Chinese Empire. Even if the other tribes were dissatisfied with the rule of Akbar Khan, they would not dare to rebel. After all, with the support of the Chinese Empire, Akbar Khan's rule was as solid as a decent.

The army of the Kingdom of Afghanistan was divided into two parts. One part was the 1st Infantry Army, 2nd Infantry Army and 3rd Infantry Army led by Afghan Army General Kawahi, with a total of 110,000 troops. They will cross the border from northern Afghanistan, attack into the territory of the Persian Kingdom, and then attack from the northern part of the Kavel Salt Desert. They will advance all the way to Tehran. The other part is the 4th Infantry Army and 5th Infantry Army led by General Ades, a total of 70,000 troops. They will attack the territory of the Persian Kingdom from the south of the Kingdom of Afghanistan into the territory of the Persian Kingdom and attack along the Kuhrud Mountains. They will sweep the central area of ​​the Persian Kingdom, then advance from the south to Tehran, and join the Northern Route Army to siege Tehran to completely end the war.

Although the Persian Kingdom had long expected the war to break out. However, they did not expect that the war would come so quickly. When the war broke out, the army of the Persian Kingdom was caught off guard. Before the war began, the army of the Persian Kingdom had expanded from 300,000 to 400,000, which was twice that of the Afghan army. Moreover, their expansion continued, and it was expected to expand 600,000 people in the end. However, the army of these Persian Kingdom had just changed their clothes and carried out training with the help of the German officers' regiment. The troops deployed on the border were just second-line troops. Almost all of them were equipped with cold weapons, so after the war began, they had no counterattack power to face the Afghan army that was almost armed to the teeth. They were easily attacked by the Afghan army and drove straight into the country.

In the Kingdom of Afghanistan, Kohsan on the banks of the rivers is only more than ten kilometers away from the border with the Persian Kingdom. And here it has also become the headquarters of the Northern Route Army of the Kingdom of Afghanistan. In the temporary command, the army officers of the Kingdom of Afghanistan got busy early in the morning. They are determining whether the three infantry troops of the Kingdom of Afghanistan have reached the predetermined position. This morning, they will launch an attack on the Kingdom of Persia. The Kingdom of Persia has always been the overlord of the West Asian region. Although the powerful Persian Empire has long been destroyed, in the mind of the Kingdom of Afghanistan, the Persian Kingdom is still extremely powerful. The Kingdom of Afghanistan has been independent from the territory of the Kingdom of Persia. Now it can counterattack the Kingdom of Persia and can also destroy the Kingdom of Persia with the help of the Chinese Empire, which has excited all Afghans.

Among these Afghan officers, some of the black-haired and yellow-skinned Chinese officers were particularly eye-catching. They were the officers from the Chinese Empire. In the past year, they were responsible for training the army of the Kingdom of Afghanistan. It can be said that it is entirely their contribution to the army of the Kingdom of Afghanistan that has undergone such complete transformation.

The heads of this officers were Major General Zeng Bohan and Major General Zuo Jigao from the Imperial General Staff. They were originally brigade generals of the Imperial Army. They made military achievements in fighting against Russia and were promoted to major generals after the war. However, the two did not continue to lead the troops, but were sent by the General Staff to the Kingdom of Afghanistan to serve as head of the Imperial Officer Group. This time, the Imperial Officer Group will also participate in the battle against the Kingdom of Persia. However, they will not rush to the front-line battlefield. They are more responsible for commanding the generals of the Kingdom of Afghanistan. Although their rank may not be higher than those of the Afghan Army. However, the generals of Afghanistan respect them very much. Not only because they come from the powerful Chinese Empire, but also because many of the generals of the Afghan Army are their students.

"General Zeng, General Zuo, General Kavashi invites you to come. Our army is ready to attack the Persian Kingdom!" A major general of the Afghan army said respectfully to Major General Zeng Bohan and Major General Zuo Jigao.

"Well! Let's go, Lao Zuo. After the battle in the Afghan Kingdom, we may be able to return to the country!" said Major General Zeng Bohan. At the age of 46, he is not young among the generals of the Imperial Army. When the Empire destroyed the Qing Dynasty, he did not join the Imperial Army as soon as possible, which led to the loss of many opportunities. However, gold always shines. After the Empire destroyed the Qing Dynasty, he joined the Imperial Army. In just over ten years, he grew from a small soldier to a major general of the Imperial Army. This was already extremely amazing.

"Yes!" Major General Zuo Jigao nodded. His experiences were similar to Major General Zeng Bohan. They were poisoned by feudal thoughts and initially regarded the Imperial Army as traitors. It was not until the Qing Dynasty became the A Dou who could not afford it that they changed their minds. However, in this way, the initial opportunity would be gone. Otherwise, they might have already been in a high position in the Imperial Army.

"General Zeng, General Zuo, you are here. I am going to order an attack. Do you have any other opinions?" General Kavashi asked respectfully.

"General Kavashi, order an attack! The troops deployed by the Persian Kingdom on the border are just second-line troops. The weapons and equipment are basically cold weapons, and they are not opponents of the Afghan Army. We will strive to break through the Persian Army's defense line in the shortest time, break into Persia, and end the war in the shortest time!" Major General Zeng Bohan said.

He discussed with Major General Zuo Jigao. Now it seems that the combat effectiveness of the Afghan Army is completely above the Persian Army. The only disadvantage is probably the military strength and logistics support. The Persian plateau is mountainous and logistics supply is very difficult. If the Persian Kingdom cannot be destroyed in the shortest time and the war is stalemate, it will be very difficult for the Afghan Kingdom to win.

"Okay, order the front line and launch an attack immediately!" General Kavashi issued an order to attack.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The artillery troops of the Kingdom of Afghanistan, which had already been in place, began to open fire on the positions of the Persian Army. The equipment of the Kingdom of Afghanistan was almost exactly the same as the Imperial Army, except that the firepower was weakened. The number of light machine guns, heavy machine guns and artillery was relatively small, only half of the Imperial Army. But even so, such terrifying firepower still made the Persian Army, who had never experienced such a scene, dizzy. Many Persian Army were directly frightened by the violent shelling, threw away the weapons in their hands and fled.

The Afghan Army's artillery bombardment took only thirty minutes. However, this had already collapsed the Persian Army. After the shelling, the Afghan Army immediately launched an attack. Three infantry troops entered Persia from a defense line that cost more than 30 kilometers. They had almost no decent resistance, as if they had entered a no-man's land.

However, the officers of the Imperial Army were still dissatisfied with the performance of the Afghan Army.

"The accuracy of the shelling is too low. During the thirty-minute shelling, it did not cause much damage to the Persian Army. The Persian Army was completely scared away. During the attack, I forgot all the attack formations and other things that were handed over to them. If their opponent was not the Persian Army, but the Imperial Army, what awaited them would be a massacre!" Major General Zuo Jigao put down the telegram sent back by the imperial ** official regiment on the front line, and said speechlessly.

"Forget it, Lao Zuo, you can't be too demanding of these Afghans. Besides, if the Afghan Army really accepts all the experience of the empire and becomes a first-class army, then we should be the one who has a headache!" Major General Zeng Bohan said with a smile. Compared with Major General Zuo Jigao, Major General Zeng Bohan's political wisdom is undoubtedly higher and he can see more profoundly.

"This is true. What the Empire wants is just a loyal lackey. If the lackey becomes a vicious wolf, the Empire may attack them as soon as possible!" Major General Zuo Jigao nodded.

General Kavashi was very satisfied with the offensive of the Afghan Army. He broke through the defense of the Persian Army in one attack, invaded Persian territory, and annihilated tens of thousands of Persian Army. This was a rare victory for the Afghan Army.

Similarly, the Southern Army led by General Ades also achieved success. They also easily tore the direction of the Persian army and invaded Persia. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
