Chapter 1429: The sword is unsheathed
The speed of this thing was very fast, about 100 kilometers per hour or more, and when it was spotted, it soon appeared in front of everyone, stopped moving, and then slowly fell.
In fact, its fall is only half a meter high, and when it falls, the rubber air skirts on both sides will deflat.
When it came to a stop, everyone could see what it really was, the wheelhouse was on either side, with a wide platform in the middle, and a slanted pedal board at the back was lowered.
"Quick, get the infantry fighting vehicle up!" Inside the wheelhouse, a man in a German Marine uniform poked his head out and shouted at them.
Yes, it's the Marines.
This kind of equipment is only produced in small batches, and when it is produced, the Marine Corps sends people to study it, because this kind of equipment is developed for the Marine Corps.
Now the first hovercraft is the commander of the 6th Marine Regiment of the Marine Corps, Reinhardt Haldegen, who originally led the team to learn how to operate, and immediately after receiving the order, he took his men to drive this hovercraft to Iran.
Along the way, they almost walked over the river, almost non-stop, all the way to this pre-set meeting place.
Now this kind of hovercraft is not very large, 27 meters long, 15 meters wide, with a displacement of 100 tons, if you transport the main tank, you can almost only transport one, and if you transport infantry fighting vehicles, you can come up with four in the middle, and at the same time you can transport several hundred fighters.
Now, with Reinhardt's greeting, the Iranian soldiers present suddenly came back to their senses, come on!
Pahlavi also opened his mouth wide, who would have thought that the Germans actually had equipment capable of flying on land! It's just so much fun!
Prince Pahlavi, like everyone else, walked towards the hovercraft, and Reinhardt stopped him again: "Your Royal Highness, come here!" ”
The noise of this hovercraft is quite loud, because Prince Pahlavi will also follow, so Reinhardt has long received an order to keep him safe.
Prince Pahlavi grabbed the handrails on both sides and got into the cab.
On both sides of the cab are the same structure, at the back of the cab, each with a 20 mm cannon, and there is not much space inside, and when Reinhardt gets in, he can only sit on one of the small chairs.
"Your Royal Highness, our wheelhouse is armored and very secure, and there is also radio equipment to facilitate your command of the entire army." Reinhardt said.
"Thank you for your support, this equipment is really amazing!" Prince Pahlavi replied in fluent German.
Ten hovercraft arrived almost simultaneously, and it took an hour to complete the loading of the Iranian troops here, and at the same time, to replenish the fuel.
In order to get enough power, it uses a mature Mercedes-Benz DB605 series engine, a single power of 2,000 horsepower, a total of four, two for propulsion, two to drive the air compressor, when it advances, the unique sound of the engine, makes people's eardrums tremble.
To the west, it was getting dark, and it was time to go.
"Your Majesty, Father, wait for the good news of my victory!" Prince Pahlavi shouted loudly, waving to those on the ground who saw them off.
"Buzz, buzz." Plumes of black smoke came out of the engine, and after the four engines started in turn, the air skirt underneath puffed up again as the blower blew strongly, and then the hovercraft left the ground.
"Now, let's go!" Reinhardt shouted over the radio to the other hovercraft: "Target, Baku oil field!" ”
The tail fan blew the air current, and the hovercraft slid into the calm waters of the Caspian Sea with a huge roar, sailing towards the distant sea, and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
In World War II, Iran, which had remained neutral, has finally taken the initiative! In order to gain an advantageous position in the post-war world, Iran must fight!
Seeing his son's departure, King Reza Khan said: "Our troops in East Azerbaijan are all on standby, and as soon as the landing battle begins, they will immediately pounce on them!" ”
It is not possible to move now, and if the Iranian ground forces cross the state border now, then the Soviets will definitely be on guard, and in order to ensure the success of the raid, they will have to wait first.
Fortunately, as long as you cross the border, there is a flat river on the opposite side, and if it goes well, you will occupy the Baku oil field in the middle of the night today, and in the early morning, a large army will pass through.
So, although it looks risky, in fact the danger is not great, the big thing is that when it is daylight tomorrow, after the main forces of the Soviets react, they will definitely pounce fiercely, and when the time comes, they must hold on!
"Father, let's go back." The princess said to Reza Khan, her hand holding her father's arm: "Almighty God willing, Brother Wang will surely triumph." ”
Reza Khan nodded, and now that the troops had attacked, they had to wait.
The night gradually covered the earth, and it was destined to be a sleepless night.
At Tehran Airport in the rear, a convoy quietly drove over, and these Ford off-road trucks were carrying large bombs that Rommel had asked for.
Rommel did not go to the Caspian coast to see off the Iranian troops, he was waiting for these big guys, and now, in the base, Rommel smoked a cigarette, watched the bombs being hung in the bomb bay, and prepared for departure.
They take off in the middle of the night, and by the time they reach their target, it's just getting dark.
In this way, the danger can be minimized, and at the same time, even if the Soviets are bombed once, they do not know what route the bomber is taking, which further reduces the risk of being intercepted.
Tomorrow, there will be earth-shattering news for Moscow! Their large oil fields, either bombed or seized, look how the Soviets drove tanks and armored vehicles!
"Lu, why are you here, it's cold here." At this moment, a beautiful figure appeared behind him, and all of a sudden, Rommel felt distressed, although the latitude here is low, but it is still very cold at night.
Lucy looked dissatisfied: "You know, it's so late, you left me alone in the residence, and besides, Princess Ashraf is not here, I'm bored by myself." Go, come back with me, hand in your homework. ”
Rommel blushed, in front of so many subordinates, Lucy was still playing with a child's temper, as if she was a willful little girl in her first love, and at the same time, Rommel's love for Lucy was definitely the most famous.
"Okay, Lu, you wait for me a little longer." Rommel said that after one more meeting with the pilots, Rommel went back.
