Chapter 1153: Surprise Attack

"Comrades, Comrade Joseph has already given the order. In three days, we will go on the offensive. From Transcaucasia, all the way to the Persian Gulf! The enemies we have to face are mainly the Turks, the Iranians, the Iraqis, and the Saudis! The armies of these countries are nothing more than lackeys of the Germans. Except for the relative strength of the Turks, the rest of the countries are not vulnerable at all. The great Russian army will definitely be able to defeat them easily. "Lieutenant General Kozlov is full of confidence in this battle.

After Britain lost its hegemony and Tsarist Russia was destroyed, Germany's power entered the entire Middle East. All the countries of the Middle East became German protectorates. At the request of Germany, they also formed quite a number of armies. Especially before the outbreak of the Great War, the army was expanded quite a bit. The army of the Kingdom of Iran, which numbered a million, formed five army groups, under the command of a military advisory group sent by Germany. Iraq had raised an army of 400,000 troops, also under the command of a German military advisory group. The Kingdom also formed two army groups. Both the sparsely populated Kuwait had two infantry brigades formed.

The armies of these countries, even if they were replaced with German-style equipment and had been trained by the German army for a period of time. But the combat effectiveness is not very good. However, Germany has never expected the armies of these countries to become first-class powers. It is only hoped that they will be able to play the role of delaying the Russian army in the event of a war. When the Germans arrived on the battlefield, they would be able to assist the Germans in their operations and ensure logistical security, and that would be God forbid. After the end of the war, most of the armies of these countries will be cut off. In that case, Germany would be able to control these areas.

"According to the information we have received, the Turks have a total of 400,000 troops deployed in the east. In addition, the Iranians have deployed 400,000 troops in Transcaucasia. The Iraqis deployed 200,000 men. So, if we want to attack the Persian Gulf, we must first crush this million troops. Although, we have no superiority in troops. But I believe that the elite Bu Russian Army will definitely be able to fight with the deployment of those indigenous rabble! Lieutenant General Kozlov said.

The other Russian generals also laughed. Indeed, the Russian army did not perform very well in this battle, and suffered heavy losses under the attack of the German army. However, that was against the most powerful German army in the world! Against other armies, they undoubtedly still have a great advantage.

"Comrades, Comrade Joseph attaches great importance to this offensive. He wants us to win. It would be best if the Persian Gulf could be captured. Even if we can't take it, we will attack the Persian Gulf, destroy the oil wells and oil fields, and prevent the Germans from getting a drop of oil from it. If we can complete this offensive mission, then we will all become heroes of the country! Commissar Shamanin said.

Being able to be a hero of the country is naturally what everyone desires. At the very least, their future will be bright. However, they also know that if they fail, the consequences will be very serious. When the time comes, they may not be able to eat and walk around.

"Comrade Tor Buxin, are the war materials ready?" Lieutenant General Kozlov asked.

"Comrade Commander, it's ready! There are also large quantities of supplies being transported to Transcaucasia to ensure our consumption in this offensive operation. The Chief of Staff of the Caucasian Front, Major General Torbukhin, replied.

Lieutenant General Kozlov nodded: "Comrades, everyone go back and prepare!" Three days later, attack on time! ”

"Yes, Comrade Commander!" All the generals replied. Everyone knows that now it is ready to shoot and has to be sent. They only hoped that they would not run into the Germans in this battle and that they would be victorious.

Three days passed in a flash. The armies of the Caucasian Front of the Russian army are ready for battle. In particular, the 47th Army of the Russian Army was pinned on high hopes by the commander of the Front, Lieutenant General Kozlov. In the operational plan drawn up by the command of the Caucasian Front, the 47th Army was to cross the border and enter the northern part of the Kingdom of Iran. Then it crossed the Zarogus Mountains and invaded northern Iraq. In this way, it will not only be possible to encircle the armies deployed in the north, but also to open the way to the south. At that time, the terrain of Pingchuan will be more suitable for the play of the two tank divisions of the 47th Army.

As for the rest of the troops, they were given to the mountain infantry units of the Caucasian Front. The several armies under the jurisdiction of the Caucasus, with the exception of the 51st Army, all had a large number of mountain infantry units. The mind is more suited to fighting in these mountainous places. Lieutenant General Kozlov is confident that this time their offensive will be victorious.

The Turkish army and the Iranian army are not clear about the movements of the Russian army. Especially after the German army inflicted heavy losses on the Russian army on the Western Front, it was even more believed that the Russian army had suffered heavy losses. In such a situation, the Russian army should take advantage of this rare winter to lick its wounds, and it will definitely not attack without authorization. This also makes their defense a little slack.

At 8 a.m. on October 27, the Caucasian Front of the Russian army launched a surprise attack. The entire Caucasian Front, massing thousands of artillery pieces, fiercely shelled the positions of Turkish and Iranian troops.

Heavy shelling, which caused heavy losses and panic among the unprepared Turkish and Iranian troops.

After half an hour of shelling, the Russian 44th Front launched an offensive from Georgia on the Turkish army. The Russian 45th and 46th armies attacked the Turkish army from Armenia. The 47th and 51st armies of the Russian army entered the Kingdom of Iran from Azerbaijan and attacked the troops deployed by the Kingdom of Iran in the north.

Although, in terms of troops, both the Turkish army and the Iranian army have an advantage. However, the surprise attack launched by the Russian army blinded them all.

In a panic, the front-line troops did not have time to prepare at all, and the defense line was already broken by the Germans. Under such circumstances, their superiority in strength could not be brought into play at all, but they were defeated and retreated by the Russian army one after another, suffering heavy losses.

Of course, the strength of the Russian army, although not superior. But their soldiers' fighting quality and will to fight are far above the Turkish army and the Iranian army. The Turkish army and the Iranian army were frightened by the Russian army's brave and courageous way of fighting without fear of death. So much so that the weapons in his hands can't exert much combat power at all.
