Chapter 20: A Question

The lightly armed infantrymen who parachuted down were lying low one by one in the shallow pits that had been hastily dug. The ≥ of the 1 August Little ≧ said that the attacks on the ≤ air made them somewhat depressed. With the night breeze came, the smell of blood ahead and the smoke of gunpowder from the explosion of shells.

The hastily established defensive line, under the cover of a large number of machine guns and artillery, successfully defended itself against the attack of the Iranian cavalry. At this moment, the soldiers huddled in the foxhole, busy checking weapons and preparing ammunition. They knew that if they could not resist the attack of the other party, then their fate would probably be a very tragic experience.

The hasty bloody battle that had just landed had caused many soldiers to be injured. At this moment, the officers are counting the number of people and reporting to the headquarters. The ambulance soldiers picked up some soldiers from the piles of corpses at the front and sent them back to the rear of the battle line.

Li Jin was lying at the bottom of the foxhole at this time, and there was a messy pile of communication equipment around him. As for the guards and staff officers at hand, they didn't know where they were at this time because of the attack they received when they landed.

"Hey, Li Jin, how are you doing!"

As the chief and deputy commander of the infantry regiment, of course, he could not sit in a foxhole, and the deputy commander Situ was still at the artillery position of the rear regiment, which did not prevent them from chatting between battles.

As for combat, following Tang Yunyang from Europe to Asia, from the guards to the "Devil's Journey", the knowledge of the two of them is enough. Today's battle against Iranian soldiers is really not a dangerous battle.

In the battle ahead, Situ Shang commanded the artillery company's 12o heavy mortars and 75mm guns in the rear, providing sufficient lethal fire for the infantry in the front. But in between battles, he was really itchy in the back.

Although the radio communication of "Thunder International" is only at the level of squad leader, this does not prevent them from chatting with the chief and deputy head of the regiment.

"It's okay, but my subordinates don't know where to go, if it's me, I guess I'll kill at least 5o of them, this gang of Iranian cavalry is not beaten, if you want to say that our gun is ......!"

When Li Jin was about to blow down again, Situ Shang had already screamed.

"Alright...... Okay, don't blow it, I'm not unfamiliar with your gun*. If we don't have artillery, you can still stop the cavalry charge with a few broken guns in front of you! ”

Situ Shang's malicious "ridicule" made Li Jin unhappy, and he turned over in the foxhole, habitually poking his head out to look ahead. On the plain in the early morning, the corpses of dead men and horses were tangled together like black stones.

Occasionally, some of the injured people's ** have been passed along with the night wind.

When the cavalry charge was over, the bright lights on the defenders' positions faded at the same time, and a terrifying darkness enveloped every soldier on the battlefield. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the soldiers who had landed on the ground scattered quietly moved to find their team.

As the soldiers from the "Devil's Journey" who were deeply "tortured" by Rommel, especially Li Jin and Situ Shang, Rommel had special attention. Before the start of the war, these special forces, who had undergone run-in training in the "Thunder International", were assigned to their respective posts. To the great delight of these soldiers, they have completed their transition from soldier to officer.

"Frontline troops prepare for the attack......

From the command, Rossnik's icy voice conveyed the order to them. This made Li Jin, who was still about to raise the bar with Situ Shang, stop talking, loaded the weapon in his hand, and quietly got out of his foxhole

"It's our turn, brethren, come with me!"

In Li Jin's soft command, the soldiers in the foxholes quietly moved forward under the cover of those corpses not far from the front line in the dark night. They are like ghosts in the dark night, each with a cat at the waist and a gun in hand, lined up in an attack formation.

Soon after, in the dark night, the previously attacked side began a counteroffensive. There was no shouting, and there was no Weihe when the horses galloped. The Iranian cavalry suffered huge casualties from only silent fire.

Under radio command, the attacking squads quickly inserted into the enemy's line of defense in the dark night, and the sky was shining with flares. The Iranian soldiers watched in amazement as the flames of bright silent fire lit up in the darkness, followed by the mournful screams of the battle line echoing in the night wind.

Before the battle, the Iranian cavalry was told that the enemy troops parachuted in this night were well equipped. However, when they were to confront the cavalrymen who were good at swords, they were not very capable of fighting.

But now the dying cavalrymen have not figured out to death why these demons in the dark were able to react so quickly from the initial attack.

After a brief engagement, the Iranian cavalry division was broken up in a silent and swift blow in the dark night. The airborne base was safe, and it was only then that Rossnik had time to start thinking.

"Why are we being attacked when we are airborne, is it because we leaked information?"

The offensive on the Tehran side began with the landing of Rosnik's lightly armed troops, and some cement slabs and honeycomb cement pipes thrown from the airship only needed some dirt or sand to quickly establish a field defensive line.

Behind this line of defense is the landing aid device for the airship to land. About three hours after the infantry landed, a group of airships transporting huge armored units arrived from over the Caspian Sea.

At this time, the field airfield was protected by the improvised "fast front" of light infantry, and the floodlights provided landing instructions for the airship group in the sky. Airships laden with armored vehicles descended slowly and safely to the ground.

Along with the armored forces, there were also "Razor" rotary-wing attack aircraft. Up to this point, this open ground base and its vicinity already have five forces, including the tank brigade, the heavy brigade, the light infantry brigade, the razor unit, and the Zion column.

But so far, this air-to-ground base has no more air power in addition to ground air defense forces. Then this gives their enemies an opportunity to take advantage of it.

The news of the airborne attack reached the operational command center in Zion City, where Rommel had just boarded the airship and planned to lead the command to Tehran under the protection of the flying troops.

"The 7th Division is the main force of the British-* mixed 8th Army Corps, and if other mechanized units are strengthened, it will be a considerable force! In addition, I think that the night attack we encountered when we landed in Demeran was also an unknown factor that we had to pay attention to! ”

Guo Songling, who was promoted to chief of staff, held the intelligence in his hand and looked at the Thunder International Commander in front of him, who was 8 years younger than him. He couldn't figure out where Tang Yunyang found these guys.

The armored forces of the Chinese Federation, although far less world-famous than aircraft carriers or air forces, have made other countries talk about tigers. However, he knew that the construction and application of armored forces had always been a research conducted by the Chinese Federal Defense Forces at great expense.

Guderian and Manstein, former Wehrmacht officers, often surprised Chinese-educated officers such as Guo Songling with their military knowledge and use of armored forces. They don't understand where such systematic and creative common sense comes from.

It has to be said that the military knowledge taught by the so-called "lecture halls" under the control of China's Beiyang government at that time was often outdated in itself. In addition, the accumulation of the First World War and the experience in the use of the army are not topics that can be clearly studied by the Chinese leaders who are far away from world-class warfare.

In addition to being surprised by the knowledge of German and other officers on the battlefields of World War I, they were even more surprised that these foreign officers' views of Tang Yunyang had elevated him to the status of almost a "god of war".

He used to wonder that Guderian, who was an instructor at the Whampoa Military Academy at the time, told him so.

"The Satanic Eagle is the first soldier in the world to use attack aircraft groups to successfully suppress ground attacks, and the first military personnel to creatively use armored clusters; Also the first to use the Airborne Forces for operations; Moreover, the aircraft carrier battle group, the number one force that has now made the Federal Republic of China a military power in the world, was actually the first to be used by him. In this world, is there a more advanced concept in military research than his? ”

These words have always made Guo Songling maintain a kind of awe for Tang Yunyang. In his feelings, it was as if Tang Yunyang's gaze could really penetrate time and space. Now the Federal Republic of China has a world-recognized aircraft carrier fleet, air force, airborne strikes, and special operations.

Even airships, which had been almost obsolete, were seen in the thousands of ships in the Chinese Federation, and the huge airlift capacity turned the course of the war around. All this has surprised all countries in the world, otherwise the figure of a large airship could reappear in the transportation of the 8th Army organized by the British and * coalition forces.

"Really!"

Rommel had no worries at all about this war in Iran, and an army as strong as "Thunder International" could possibly worry about its capabilities as an officer.

At this moment, the only thing on his mind was how the Iranians knew about the airborne landing of the Airborne Forces and organized a night attack in time. According to his thoughts*, it is almost impossible for the group of airships that suddenly descend at night to be revealed. Then this attack on the Airborne Forces revealed some strange oddities.

"Could it be that there is something wrong with us, is it that there are enemy spies lurking in the recruits who have been transferred this time?"

Just as he was thinking about it, a message was delivered to his airship.

"Sir's telegram!"

Looking at the paper in his hand, Rommel's face could not hide his surprise at the intelligence.

"Hmph, it looks like someone has jumped off the wall this time!"
