ps: There is a change in the evening......

It was a long time before someone asked: "Could it be that this German commander is a comrade of our secret front?" ”

Everyone immediately became excited: the officer who could command so many troops had to be at least a lieutenant general or a general, could it be that there were already comrades who had infiltrated the heart of the German army? That's great news!

Chernyakhovsky shook his head: "I would also like this, but it is unlikely, the enemy must be hiding a huge conspiracy." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"And these supplies?" Someone timidly asked, "Comrade Commander, can we still use it?" ”

"Of course, the enemy left us with a full use! Tell our comrades that if we continue to be brave and bold, we will achieve victories like today. Chernyakhovsky confessed, "What I just said is top secret, I will report it to Zhukov and Comrade Stalin, and you are not allowed to reveal a single word to the outside world." ”

Everyone nodded hurriedly: If it is really their own comrades, as long as there is a little rumor, this secret will not be kept.

"Worthy of Comrade Chernyakhovsky, he played very well! A large amount of supplies was also seized, which solved the urgent needs of the troops. I want to report to Comrade Stalin and ask for credit for him! "Zhukov, who received the report on the battle on the eastern shore of the Caspian Sea, was clearly very happy.

"However, there are also doubts that the materials found by the troops on the eastern shore of the Caspian Sea, judged by Comrade Chernyakhovsky to be deliberately left by the enemy, sent a telegram asking if we had secret party members or sympathizers in the upper echelons of the German military circles. If not, he judged that there was a conspiracy here. ”

"That's it......" Zhukov muttered, as far as he knew, there were no secret party members and sympathizers, and the conspiracy component was a little bigger, but the possibility of this could not be completely ruled out, and after thinking about it for several minutes, he said, "first report to Comrade Stalin, let the troops rest on the spot for a few days, and we will judge the enemy situation and possible conspiracy together." ”

After receiving the telegram from the front from Zhukov, Comrade Stalin, who had always been depressed, instantly had a bright light on his face: "Look, you see, Comrade Konstantin is still very effective in fighting the war!" In this way, except for a handful of German troops in the Ferghana Basin and some places on the Iranian border, we have basically recovered Central Asia! ”

This is really not bragging, taking the eastern shore of the Caspian Sea, blocking Schellna, and Zhukov himself sitting in Tashkent to "suppress bandits", after a three-pronged approach, at least from the map, Central Asia was recaptured by the Bolsheviks, of course, the actual control is far from before.

The crowd was infected by this emotion, and they also became excited, and they highly praised Comrade Stalin for his farsightedness and use of his troops like a god, and Comrade Zhukov for turning the tide and making outstanding contributions. Only Vasilevsky was silent next to him, he felt that there was a lot of cats in it, and the German army was defeated too quickly, right? However, he is now learning to be obedient, and all the leading comrades are all on the rise, and his own intervention to interrupt them not only causes everyone to be unhappy, but may also make people mistakenly think that they are jealous of Zhukov, and it is better to do less of this kind of immature thing!

"As for the questions and concerns he reported......," Stalin turned his gaze to Beria, "you go and verify them and give Comrade Konstantin an accurate answer." Conspiracy or not, I believe he can judge, at least the real materials in his hands can't deceive people, even if it's a bait, he has to eat it first! Hmph, the Germans will one day shoot themselves in the foot! ”

On 24 February, the same day that Spruance led the South Atlantic Detachment to South Africa, Chernyakhovsky led a replenished and rested offensive cluster spearhead, together with two tank brigades and one cavalry brigade and nearly 130,000 troops of the Malinovsky Army, to land on the southern shore of the Caspian Sea. In this limited time, the logistics department carried out a comprehensive and meticulous inspection of the supplies, and the results really could not find any mistakes, and the speculation that the expected oil was arranged with time bombs and that the food was poisoned was all untenable, and more than 100,000 people responded well after enjoying the German supplies.

It is true that there are a few who died of eating, but after the military doctor's examination, it was believed that their bodies were weak due to long-term lack of food and clothing, coupled with the high intensity of this large-scale transfer operation, and then they ate too much under ecstasy and caused their bodies to bear more than the upper limit. There was a lot of jubilation in the headquarters, and even Chernyakhovsky himself was holding two large pieces of German sausage and nibbling on it - most of the ordinary officers were given a German version of the spam, and only a few senior officers had German sausages or hams to eat. Comrade Commander is his style of being approachable, and the people below him can't not talk about the rank at all -- do they have any consciousness of party spirit?

Since the Germans did not have their own people, it was mostly a conspiracy, and Chernyakhovsky and Zhukov themselves believed that there may be two traps dug by the Germans: first, to lure the Red Army to continue the offensive and stretch the front and then counterattack; The second was to deploy powerful sniper positions on the southern shore of the Caspian Sea to dry the Red Army again. The best strategy to avoid the trap is to get supplies and run away, but this must not be brought up, not to mention that Stalin can't get through it, and the two themselves can't get through it. The Central Asian Special Front is here to fight to the death, how can this little material be satisfied?

In the course of the Red Army's advance, the air forces of the two countries launched round after round of strangulation over the Caspian Sea, but I don't know whether it was because the Germans were "losing courage" or for some other reason, the Red Army planes, which had been suppressed, actually gained the upper hand for the first time and ensured the safety of most of the ships. Unlike the German landing in the Amole area of northern Tehran, Chernyakhovsky chose a more southwesterly landing place for his troops, around Ardabil on the border between Turkey and Iran. Although there is a little bit of ice in this section, due to the latitude, the temperature here is slightly higher, and the ice is not thick, so it is easy to force the ice to go ashore.

The beachhead blockade, which he had been very nervous about, did not appear, and most of the German troops were busy retreating in the direction of Tehran, while the few Iranian troops deployed near the landing site were defeated by the rapidly landing Red Army at the slightest firing. Then at the suggestion of the German advisers, the order of the Shah Pahlavi of Iran also came down: the nearby troops retreated to Tabriz in full. This was in the hands of the Red Army, and the troops urgently expanded the landing ground while stepping up their disembarkation.

Now, combined with the loss of supplies, the weak air battle over the Caspian Sea, the fact that the beachhead is not sniped, and the rapid retreat of Iranian troops, Zhukov can no longer judge that the German army is killing people with a knife, so he is not worthy of being called Zhukov, but even if he can see it, he has to bite the bullet, because after the German army of more than 70,000 people hid in Tehran, it is not something that the Red Army can easily gnaw down, and to cause Iranian shock, it is necessary to at least destroy Iran's oil fields and Bandar Abbas, considering the rugged terrain of Iran, it is impossible to exhaust Chernyakhovsky. In the end, after deliberation, it was decided to continue the original plan and go to fight the Turks and Baku.

Now Turkey also knows the news of the landing of the Red Army near the border between Iran and Turkey, the Turkish army has a total of about 4 divisions deployed on the border between the two countries, the original purpose is to prevent the Iranians from grabbing territory with them, hearing that the Red Army's heavy army group pounced on the Caspian Sea and defeated the German army, they also panicked at first, but after seeing Chernyakhovsky leading the main force of the Red Army to attack Tabriz, the Turks breathed a great sigh of relief - it's good to fight Iran, what does it matter if the Iranians die or live? It's better to knock Iran down, and when the time comes, we can save the Iranians and scrape some oil and water down.

Although the Germans withdrew 70,000 people, the Iranian army itself still had 200,000, and Pahlavi even had 2 Tiger heavy armored battalions on hand, but he learned that the attack on the Soviet army was nearly 400,000 or a little drumming, and the German side itself thought that the judgment was wrong, in addition to Manstein's belief that the Germans would also fight Turkey, even Zeitzler began to hurriedly transfer troops, preparing to transfer troops from the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, and Egypt into the Iranian battlefield. also complained privately to the people around him that the Führer set fire too much and burned off his eyebrows.

After Chernyakhovsky and all his troops gathered, they advanced all the way to Tabriz, but in the middle of the night of February 28, his style of use of troops suddenly changed, and he made a beautiful right hook, turning around and rushing towards the Turkish-Iraqi crossing. The Turks were gloating two days ago, who knew that the Red Army would kill them as soon as the spearhead turned.

And Pahlavi immediately relieved himself when he learned that the 150,000 Red Army turned around, and he didn't bother to care if Turkey was not Turkey - you and Lao Tzu never relented when they robbed Azerbaijan! On March 2, the Red Army stormed the Turkish defense line, and the spearhead of the Red Army's offensive spearhead, led by IS-1 and T-43/85 tanks, crushed the Turkish second-line troops, which were still dominated by No. 3 and 38T. Speaking of which, although the Red Army suffered a series of defeats due to repeated lessons from the German army, it was never afraid of the Turks, and with the Russian-Turkish feud, there was no need to mobilize to fight Turkey. In just two days and one night, the two Turkish infantry divisions that were the first to meet the enemy, together with their equipment, supplies, and supplies, all fell into the hands of the Red Army.

The Turks thought they could fight, but they didn't expect that they couldn't fight at all now, but now they remember: the Red Army was fought by surprise and with the cooperation of German troops, and now all favorable conditions are gone, and the war situation is completely reversed, but it is too late to regret it.

On 4 March, the Red Army advanced more than 30 kilometers in an attempt to outflank the remaining Turkish troops. In order to block the Soviet offensive, the Turkish side asked the Germans for help, on the one hand, asked the Iranian troops to attack from the rear to contain the Red Army's attack, and on the other hand, they transferred troops from the Transcaucasia to the south to support. However, the second landing wave of the Red Army, which had already secured a solid landing field, caught up again, and the Red Army in Turkey had reached more than 200,000.

Although the German army quickly responded to the rescue request, it said that the Caspian Sea was currently frozen, and it could only be reinforced by land, and it must pass through the rugged terrain of the Transcaucasia, which would take at least 2-3 weeks......
