One thing, the Soviets still guessed wrong, it was not the German tank forces that came over, but the Iranian separate mechanized brigades!

The morale of Reza Khan's administration, the relationship between Iran and Germany is quite friendly, most of the weapons in the Iranian army are purchased from Germany, for example, the main combat equipment of the mechanized brigade is the half-track Sdkfz251 armored transport vehicle, in mountainous areas, this half-track armored vehicle, fast speed, and low fuel consumption, has been well received for equipping Iranian troops for several years.

At the same time, last year, they also obtained more than 20 Panther 2 tanks from Germany, which weighed 20 tons and was equipped with 50 mm tank guns, which was also very advanced in this era.

For Germany, it was eliminated, and that was because Germany's military industry was too strong, after all, in history, when the Germans started the war, they had just tinkered with the No. 1 and No. 2 tanks.

These Panther 2 tanks, painted with a new color by the Iranian army, have become their main force, and now, Iran's only mechanized brigade, is attacking the Soviet artillery!

The Panther 2 tanks in front of them were rumbling, the engines of these tanks had reached the end of their service life, and when they were exported to Iran, they were replaced with new engines, and now, in the best of times, the engines of the tanks rumbled, and the high-pressure oil pumps rattled, constantly feeding diesel fuel into the cylinders, pushing the pistons, and outputting a steady stream of power.

The tanks were galloping across the field, they were coming from Tehran, and the commander of the mechanized brigade, Mehmet, sat on one of the Panther 3 tanks and charged with the whole unit.

"Rush! Kill these Soviet devils! ”

"Boom, boom!" At this moment, the Soviet artillerymen on the opposite side opened fire!

The firing of a 152-mm howitzer is a very spectacular spectacle, even if it is an armor-piercing projectile!

The barrel of the cannon is very thick, and at the muzzle of the gun, a huge fireball comes out, with a puff of black smoke, and when the fireball appears, the barrel of the gun, which weighs several tons, is also involuntarily retreating.

The sound of artillery fire shook people's ears and buzzed! If it happens to be hit by the air flow from the muzzle of the gun, it can even rupture the eardrum of the ear!

The blunt-headed armor-piercing projectile flew out of the muzzle and flew towards the Panther 2 tank opposite!

The tank troops on the opposite side, there is no sign of stopping, they are still rushing towards this side!

Although tanks also have main guns, they are only 50 mm caliber, and at such times, they will not have much advantage, but because of the fire, it will delay their advance!

Artillery, which has always been hiding behind the position, opened fire, they are definitely not fighting bayonets on the front line, and the artillery units, which can be regarded as technical troops, do not have specially strengthened individual combat skills.

So, once they are close to the infantry, they are dead!

At this time, behind the Panther 2 tanks, in those half-track infantry fighting vehicles, Iranian soldiers are also in full array, in their hands, holding MP36 submachine guns, with 75 rounds of drums on them, as long as the armored vehicles send them to the battlefield, the submachine guns in their hands can give the enemy the most violent blow!

The artillery fire of the Soviets, the first salvo, filled their artillery positions with smoke, and when the smoke dispersed, Major Ivan was dismayed to find that the hit rate was zero, and not a single one hit!

"Get closer, fire again at a distance of a thousand meters!" Major Ivan shouted.

The range of howitzers is very long, when they fire grenades, they can hit ten kilometers away, so the artillerymen have just opened fire, it seems to be fine, but they are firing armor-piercing shells, which require accurate shooting, at this time, the distance is too far, the hit rate is too poor, and it must be hit directly!

The gunners continued to load, and the artillery squad leader was extremely nervous to indicate the exact firing elements for his own artillery, which lacked an effective direct-aiming device compared to specialized anti-tank guns.

"Boom, boom!" Finally, the second round of artillery fire began a salvo at a distance of a thousand meters.

This time, the opposing armored unit was not so lucky, an armor-piercing projectile accurately hit the turret armor of a Panther 2 tank, and under the huge impact, the armor quickly recessed backwards as if it were papier-mâché, and then turned into a balloon that had been blown up.

"Boom!" The turret exploded, and the kinetic energy brought by the impact was extremely terrifying, and what was even more terrifying was that under the violent impact, the ammunition inside was followed by a terrible explosion.

During the explosion, the turret was torn apart, and a fire broke out inside.

The driver and radioman in front struggled to climb out, and several people in the turret behind were all killed!

If you want to fight, there will be bloodshed, there will be sacrifices, this is inevitable!

The Iranian army is not afraid, they are still advancing!

"Be careful, don't go in a straight line, maneuver and change positions!" Brigadier Commander Mehmet shouted over the radio: "God willing, we will win!" ”

The Panther 2 tank no longer walked in a straight line, and the driver in front of him was running wildly, adjusting his direction from time to time, crookedly.

Now, the two sides are competing who is tougher and who is faster!

If the Soviets move faster and kill all those tanks and armored vehicles without the tank troops getting close to a hundred meters, then they win, and if the Iranians are faster and rush to a range of a hundred meters, with submachine guns in their hands, they can kill all the Soviet artillery!

The current situation is favorable for the Soviets, because as the distance is closer, the accuracy of their shooting will be, moreover, their artillery fire will completely tear apart the opponent's tank, and there is no need to worry about not being able to penetrate it!

Yakov returned to his company and commanded six howitzers under his command to open fire, and the first hit just now was the result of one of the guns he personally commanded!

"Keep firing, quick!" Yakov shouted, at this time, he was completely distracted by the attack of the Iranians in front of him, and simply did not have time to think about other directions.

Fast, move fast!

Laprive, the loader, quickly ran back to the truck and continued to carry the heavy shells, the 152-mm shells were all divided into separate loads, the warheads and propellants were separated, and his body was strong, and he carried both boxes to his shoulders at once.

He straightened up and wanted to deliver the ammunition to the front of the howitzer, but when he looked up, the corner of his eye was aimed at the back of his side, and he was shocked.

"Cavalry, Iranian cavalry!"
