Chapter 695: The Smoke of Gunpowder, Abadan's Harbor

The key to the power of the Tomahawk cruise missile lies in the type of warhead it carries, and the most powerful BGM-109A land-based nuclear attack Tomahawk can carry a 200,000-ton nuclear warhead with an adjustable yield - 80-1 nuclear warhead, which is equivalent to 200,000 tons of TNT. The ordinary BGM-109C conventional land-attack missile, with a high-explosive warhead, 1,000 pounds is equivalent to the explosive power of more than 400 kilograms of TNT.

So when Field Marshal Richthofen's attack order was given, 60 Tomahawk missiles had already bombed a third of the port of Badan, and these bombardments were still because only high-explosive warheads were used, and two or three such Tomahawk high-explosive bombs could bomb a building to pieces.

Of course, if the warhead carried is a nuclear bomb, then there are many dead.

In fact, Chen Yanlong also wanted to use a submarine to launch, because the submarine launch was impossible to prevent, and the attack was powerful.

But because he didn't redeem the corresponding submarine to launch, he didn't take the submarine launch attack.

"Boom! Boom ......"

"Boom! Rumble ......"

With the sound of earth-shattering explosions, one after another, all the residents of the entire port of Abadan and the Anglo-Indian troops, as well as the Iranian troops, were in a state of panic and casualties.

Just now, they were very proud, and the British army was bombed in the blink of an eye, and the dead and wounded, and the mutilated were mutilated......

wailing, screaming, wailing, pleading; endlessly, endlessly, and shockingly......

However, after the first wave of Tomahawk cruise missile attacks by the German army, the naval artillery bombardment of the German aircraft carrier fleet also bombarded those areas where the sea was not destroyed, especially all the military facilities of the British and Iranian troops, and the garrison areas, as well as the barracks and other important strike places.

In a matter of moments, the entire port of Abadan was plunged into a sea of fire and a cloud of mushrooms from the explosion.

"We are the first detachment, and the bombing of all shore defense artillery and artillery positions in the port of Abadan has been completed!"

"We are the second detachment, the enemy's military facilities have been bombed, please give new combat instructions!"

"We are the third detachment, the British garrison has completed the bombing operation, the enemy has suffered heavy casualties, all the ammunition has been dropped, please return to the defense to replenish the ammunition!"

......

After 20 minutes of large-scale and indiscriminate bombardment, the German flying detachments reported one after another.

"All the flying teams will immediately come back for replenishment, and the second wave of carrier-based aircraft groups will prepare to take off and launch a surprise attack inland!"

Then came the order for Field Marshal Richthofen's second wave of bombers to attack the interior.

As the order was issued, the second wave of F4U "Corsair" carrier-based fighters, F9F Panther carrier-based fighters, and Il-28 bombers, which had already been ready to go, quickly took off one by one.

At the same time, Guderian was also immediately commanding the army units that had undergone short training to carry out amphibious landing operations.

"Hurry up and land in a landing craft, and all troops are ready for landing operations!

"Hurry up and keep up with the tank landing! Fast! ”

Under Guderian's supervision, landing craft and tank landing craft, escorted by the convoy, headed towards the port of Abadan, where smoke was billowing and explosions were deafeningly loud.

During World War II, Britain had three important sources of oil in Iran, one was the Iraqi oil field group, one Persian oil field group, and the other Borneo oil field group.

Chen Yanlong's goal was also to these oil fields, and if Guderian was able to occupy these oil fields, he would not only allow the German army to have a steady supply of oil.

And Britain, with its large number of overseas colonies, will immediately fall into a miserable situation of lack of oil supply, because Britain needs more than 10 million tons of oil a year.

Moreover, Britain has not yet developed the oil fields in the North Sea, which means that the oil supply of the British Isles is entirely imported.

As for the current crude oil in Germany, it relies on the technology of turning coal into oil to replace it.

"Because the British control too many overseas oil fields, and we have too little oil in Germany, and the damned Britain and the United States have been enforcing a naval blockade on us, so that we are forced to use coal to make oil."

"But as soon as we take control of Iran and Iraq, as well as Kuwait and Persia, the situation will change dramatically!"

"At that time, the countries that lack oil will no longer be our German Empire, but it will be the turn of Britain and the United States, and even the Soviet Union!"

When Field Marshal Richthofen had given the order for the attack of his fleet and carrier-based aircraft group, he came to Guderian, who was still commanding the army units in the landing operation.

"Yes! I think so too! Therefore, we must use fast and slow combat operations to achieve the most rapid victory by blitzkrieg tactics! ”

Guderian smiled and nodded in agreement.

After that, he continued to concentrate on commanding the army units and conducting landing operations with the armored divisions.

Field Marshal Richthofen, on the other hand, gazed excitedly at the port of Abadan, which was getting closer and closer.

Looking at the scene of the war and the smoke of gunpowder, facing the cold wind, I fell into deep thought
