"We will not retreat, fight to the last man!" Suddenly, Prince Pahlavi drew his sword and stood on top of the hovercraft's gun emplacement, his voice extremely loud: "God bless, we will avenge our dead comrades and our once lost homeland!" ”

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 boosted everyone's morale, and they were determined to fight to the death and never retreat!

At this moment, in the distance, there was a rumbling sound, and everyone looked up and saw that in the south of their side, wolf smoke was rising, black smoke was billowing, and a tank force was rapidly advancing towards this side.

The Air Force did not come to support on time, however, the ground forces did not disappoint them!

The ground forces began their offensive in the middle of the night, at the same time as they landed on the Baku oil fields, and they broke through the border guards, advanced quickly, and finally reached the oil fields by racing wildly along the way!

Their rapid advance is almost similar to the German blitzkrieg, and there are two factors that can make them so fast.

The first is the emptiness of Soviet forces, all the troops that can fight have been transferred to Armenia, even if the Soviets know that Iran in the south is also ready to move, they are not capable, because there are not enough troops.

Secondly, it is the replacement of the Panther 2 tank provided by Germany, which has good off-road performance and fuel economy.

The Iranians cheered, and the Soviet airborne forces were desperate.

The Airborne Forces can only be lightly armed, and the machine gun and submachine gun are equipped with these burst weapons, which is already good, although the Soviet Union has experimented with airborne tanks, which are also light tanks of several tons, and they cannot compete with the main battle tanks of Germany at all.

"Retreat, retreat!" Vlasov shouted, he beckoned his men to retreat to the rear, at this time, there was no point in continuing the attack, and besides, their follow-up troops could not be parachuted in again.

They have failed.

Throughout the oil field area, cheers from the Iranians rang out.

At this time, the sun has just risen, and the rising sun stretches everyone's shadow very long, standing on the Baku oil field, the hearts of the Iranians are extremely excited, they have finally defeated the hated Soviets and occupied the Baku oil field!

When the follow-up forces arrive, they will be able to capture the nearby city of Baku and turn it into the territory of the Kingdom of Iran!

Victory came too quickly.

And for the Soviets, it was a different mood.

In the Kremlin, Stalin utterly erupted: "What is our air force for?" The German bombers, driven straight into our hinterland, bombed our oil fields, and we didn't even find out? ”

"This is a grave dereliction of duty! Commander of the Air Force, immediately remove all posts and ranks and go to a court-martial! "Angry Stalin, no one dares to provoke, they can only look at their companions with sympathy.

In the Great Purge at the beginning, all the armies of the Soviet Union suffered great losses, and the same was true of the Air Force.

In 1931, Я.I. Arksnis, who succeeded Baranov as commander of the Air Force, was arrested in 1937 and executed in 1940. His deputy commander, V. V. Khrypin, also disappeared in 1937. Arksnis was succeeded by an insignificant figure named A.D. Loktilov, who then abdicated in September 1939 to Я.I. Shmuskievich.

The current commander of the Air Force is Shmushkevich, a veteran of the Soviet Air Force who fought in the Spanish Civil War, and later enjoyed a high reputation as commander of the Far East Air Force, helping Zhukov win the victory over the islanders.

Unfortunately, his life is not good.

This time the Ural-Vol oil field suffered a devastating blow, the oil field facilities, tens of thousands of oil field workers, prisoners, all died, and the factories near the Urals also died a lot of people, according to preliminary statistics, more than 100,000.

This is a huge number, so many people have died, the commander of the air force is destined to bear the blame, and what awaits him will be the fate of being shot as a scapegoat.

Watching the Air Force Commander being escorted away, everyone else had a sense of sadness.

In the past, they took precautions and made a large-scale development of the Volga-Ural oil fields, believing that this would prevent them from getting enough fuel in the event of a crisis in the Baku oil fields.

Who knows, the Germans were able to blow up the oil fields easily, and moreover, they blew them up when the oil fields were already built up and ready to produce crude oil efficiently!

The Germans are terrible!

Bad news, one after the other.

"It is meaningless to report that the Iranian ground forces have arrived at the Baku oil fields on a scale above the level of armored divisions, and the Airborne Forces have stopped continuing to be airborne."

Baku oil field!

Stalin's fist slammed into the table, the table made of thick birch trees, buzzed, blood flowed from his hands, and he felt no pain.

Everyone was stunned.

The armored division of the Iranians has already reached the Baku oil field, and it will be difficult to recapture this oil field, because the Soviet Union simply cannot raise troops to go to the Caucasus!

To retake the oil fields, you need at least two tank divisions! Now on the vast plain in front of Moscow, they are racking their brains for a tank company, where can they care about the oil fields!

Now an even greater crisis has arrived, and if they cannot recapture the oil fields, all their mechanized armies will be stopped because of the lack of fuel, without which they simply cannot withstand the German attack!

Do you rely on soldiers to block it with their lives?

Even if they wanted to, they couldn't! The German tanks, which would have crushed the bodies of their soldiers, would continue to rumble and roar, and they simply had no power to stop them!

No one dared to mess with Stalin, it was clear that there was too much bad news this morning, who wanted to touch the mold? I don't know if I will be shot by the enraged Stalin.

Stalin slowly walked out of the window, looked at the rising sun, and said: "Increase the production of other oil fields, stop unnecessary fuel consumption in all aspects, make every effort to supply the army, and ask the United States for support fuel." ”

No matter how bad things are, Stalin can redeem them, this is the ability of the leader.

The USSR, it will definitely hold on!

At this moment, suddenly, the outside door was knocked open without knocking, and a secretary with a telegram hurriedly came over and shouted: "Oh no, no, the German middle army is going south and is advancing towards Kiev, and our defenders of Kiev are about to be surrounded!" ”
