Chapter 1439 Bad news one after another
"We will never retreat and fight to the last man!" Suddenly, Prince Pahlavi pulled out his sword and stood at the top of the cannon position of the hovercraft. His voice was extremely loud: "Blessed by the true god, we will avenge our dead comrades and our once lost land!"
At this time, Pahlavi was like a lion.
Seeing this scene, even Reinhardt admired it. Yes, as a member of the royal family, Pahlavi is a real warrior.
Pahlavi's actions inspired everyone's morale. They made up their minds to fight to the death and never retreat!
At this moment, a rumbling sound came from afar. Everyone looked up and saw wolf smoke rising and black smoke rolling in the south of their side. A tank unit was advancing rapidly towards this side.
The Air Force did not come to support on time, but the ground forces did not disappoint them!
The ground troops only started to attack in the middle of the night when they landed in the Baku oil field. They broke through the border guards and advanced quickly, rushed along the way, and finally arrived at the oil field!
Their rapid advancement was almost the same as that of the German blitzkrieg. There were two factors in their ability to be so fast.
The first is the emptiness of the Soviet troops. All the troops that can fight were mobilized to Armenia. Even if the Soviets knew that Iran in the south was ready to move, they were not capable because they lacked troops.
Secondly, the Black Panther 2 tank provided by Germany, which has good off-road performance and is also fuel-efficient. It has been rushing all the way, completely dependent on the high performance brought by this advanced tank!
The Iranians were cheering, while the Soviet airborne soldiers were desperate.
Airborne troops can only be light weapons. It is already good to be equipped with machine guns and submachine guns. Although the Soviet Union had experimented with airborne tanks, they were also light tanks of several tons and could not compete with German main battle tanks.
"Retreat, retreat!" Vrasov shouted, and he greeted his subordinates and retreated to the rear. At this time, it was meaningless to continue attacking, and their follow-up troops could no longer be airborne.
They have failed.
The entire oil field area was filled with cheers from Iranians.
At this time, the sun had just risen, and the rising sun had pulled everyone's shadow for a long time. Standing on the Baku oil field, the Iranians were extremely excited. They finally defeated the hateful Soviets and occupied the Baku oil field!
When the subsequent troops arrive, they will be able to occupy the nearby city of Baku and turn it into territory of the Kingdom of Iran!
Victory comes too fast.
For the Soviets, it was another mood.
In the Kremlin, Stalin broke out completely: "What does our air force do? German bombers drove straight into our heartland and bombed our oil fields, but we didn't even find it?"
"This is a serious dereliction of duty! Air Force Commander, immediately remove all positions and military ranks and go to the military court!" The furious Stalin, no one dared to provoke him, could only give him sympathetic eyes to his companions.
During the original Great Purge, all Soviet armies suffered great losses, and the same was true for the Air Force.
R.N. Alkesnis, who succeeded Balanov as the commander of the air force in 1993, was arrested in 1993 and executed in 19940. His deputy commander, A.N.Hripin, also disappeared in 19937. The person who succeeded Alkesnis was an insignificant person named R.N.Loctiolov, and then he gave way to R.N.Shmushkevich in September 1939.
The current air force commander is Shmushkevich, a veteran of the Soviet Air Force who participated in the Spanish Civil War. Later, he enjoyed a high reputation during his tenure as commander of the Far East Air Force and helped Zhukov defeat the islanders.
Unfortunately, his life is not good.
This time, the Ural Volga oil field suffered a devastating blow. The oil field facilities, tens of thousands of oil field workers and prisoners were all dead, and many people died in factories near the Ural. Preliminary statistics show that more than 100,000 are also killed.
This is a huge number. With so many people dead, the Air Force Commander is destined to take the blame. What awaits him will be the fate of being shot as a scapegoat.
Seeing the Air Force Commander being escorted away, everyone else felt sad.
In the past, they prepared for the future and made large-scale development of Volga-Ural oil fields, believing that this could prevent the Baku oilfield from encountering a crisis and that their side could not obtain enough fuel.
Who knew that the Germans could easily blow up the oil field, and they still fry it when the oil field was already established and ready to produce crude oil efficiently!
The Germans are so scary!
Bad news, one after another.
"Report that Iranian ground forces have arrived at the Baku oil field, and the scale is above the armored division level. The airborne army has stopped continuing to airborne. That is meaningless."
Baku Oilfield!
Stalin's fist hit the table hard, and the thick birch tree made of the table was buzzing, and blood flowed down his hands, and he could not feel the pain.
Everyone was stunned.
The Iranian armored division has arrived at the Baku oil field, so it is already difficult to retake this oil field, because the Soviet Union could not raise troops to go to the Caucasus!
To regain the oil field, at least two tank divisions are needed! Now on the vast plain in front of Moscow, they are racking their brains for a tank company, so how can they care about the oil field?
Now, a greater crisis has arrived. If the oil fields cannot be recaptured, all their mechanized troops will stop due to lack of fuel. Without fuel, they will be unable to withstand the German attack at all!
Do soldiers use their lives to block them?
Even if they were willing, they couldn't do it! The German tanks would crush their soldiers' bodies and would continue to rumble and start, and they had no ability to stop them!
No one dared to mess with Stalin. It was obvious that there was too much bad news this morning. Who would be willing to get into trouble? Maybe he would be shot by the angry Stalin.
Stalin slowly walked out of the window, looked at the rising sun, and said, "Enhance the production of other oil fields, stop unnecessary fuel consumption in all aspects, make every effort to supply the military to use, and ask the United States for fuel support."
No matter how bad things are, Stalin can save them. This is the ability of the leader.
The Soviet Union will definitely stick to it!
At this moment, suddenly, the door outside was knocked open without knocking. A secretary hurried over with a telegram and shouted loudly: "No, no, the German middle army is heading south and advancing towards Kiev. Our Kiev defenders are about to be surrounded!"
