Chapter 471: Reinforcements Arrive
The first confrontation between the Red Navy and the US Navy on the ocean was over, and no one thought that the United States, which has more than a dozen aircraft carriers and the maritime hegemony of the entire world, lost its due self-confidence in the first confrontation, and they were actually defeated by themselves!
There are many reasons, however, the light enemy is definitely in the first place, for the US Navy, they believe too much in their Tomcat carrier-based aircraft, thinking that in addition to the MiG-25 can pose a threat to them, there is no other fighter opportunity to have an overwhelming advantage over them, and the aircraft carrier of the Soviets, it is absolutely impossible to take off and land the MiG-25, and it was once found that the MiG-25 on the Kiev-class aircraft carrier is just a decoy tactic!
And the MiG-23, this fighter that was massively put into service in the USSR in the early seventies, has now passed ten years! On the battlefield in the Middle East, the Israeli Air Force has long confirmed that the MiG-23 is weak and cannot compete with the third-generation aircraft of the United States.

But now, after the magic transformation, the MiG-23 already has combat effectiveness that is not inferior to the Tomcat fighter! In terms of close-range combat, the MiG-23 with a fly-by-wire operating system and a high-thrust twin-turbofan engine is enough to make up for the shortcomings of the aerodynamic layout, and it is on par with the Tomcat fighter!
And at long range, although the Tomcat fighter has an immortal bird missile, however, this missile, which was originally designed to intercept bombers, has limited overload, as long as it is not a sneak attack, it is difficult to hit a highly maneuverable fighter!
And, most importantly, the pilots of the Soviets, they were simply insane! Yes, there is only a thin line between a genius and a madman! When he heard Powell's narration that the Soviets were actually upside down on Powell's head in the air and followed all the way, Colonel Hilton's anger slowly turned into admiration.
The carrier-based fixed-wing aviation of the Soviets has just started, and it already has such a terrible combat effectiveness and style, so when the Soviet aircraft carriers are grounded one by one and equipped with their troops, how much more will the US Navy have at sea?
When the deck of the Independence was damaged and had to withdraw from the battle, only one Kitty Hawk remained, and it was impossible to have a close confrontation with the Soviet aircraft carrier group in any case! And the Nimitz will take another two days to get over! Will the battle on land be able to last for another two days?
Of course not!
Just as the United States was racing on Iranian soil, the current Soviet army is also advancing rapidly in the desert areas of Iran!
And at the forefront of the whole army is the 149 Infantry Division, which has completed its reorganization!
The T-72 tanks in front, mighty and majestic, with their barrels held high, are advancing rapidly in the desert area, and behind them are large BTR infantry fighting vehicles like ants moving.
The all-wheel drive BTR infantry fighting vehicles are very adaptable and can fully catch up with the speed of the tank, and they have another advantage, which is that the consumption of fuel is very small!
Since crossing the border, they have only refueled once and have been able to run to Zahedan! In this way, the dependence on logistical supplies has been greatly reduced, although the firepower is not as strong as the previous heavy troops, but they still have a protective umbrella above their heads!
The Mi-24 helicopter gunship flies in front of the entire unit, at a distance of fifty kilometers, and the pylons on both sides of the hind are full of weapons, which can blast off obstacles in the way at any time!
Helicopter gunships, armored forces on the ground, can advance quickly and unhindered, there is a big premise, that is, Iran has lost its air power!
The once incomparably powerful Iranian Air Force is now completely at the end of its power, the Tomcat fighters have become broken copper, and the only few J-7s that can fly are trembling under the strong air pressure of the Soviets.
On a command car, Colonel Choibalsan showed his head, all around is an endless desert, after here, it should be his target this time!
In this operation, the 149th Infantry Division after reorganization showed strong adaptability, for example, in terms of charge, no unit can compare with him, he knows that he has thrown his logistics supply convoy out of nearly 200 kilometers, this speed, can be described as crazy!
"105 Airborne Division, 105 Airborne Division, please answer if you receive it." In the command vehicle, a radio soldier kept shouting, after running a few dozen kilometers, it would be time to join the airborne division, and now, it should be his own radio station that can be contacted.
"The 105th Regiment of the 345th Airborne Division has received and welcomes your arrival." Later, a clear voice came from the headphones.
Deployed in the northernmost part of the border, the 345th Regiment was the 345th Regiment, so the 345th Regiment first made contact with the 149th Division.
"Discover the 345th regiment." At this moment, the helicopter gunship, which was leading the ground forces, had already flown to the position of the 345th regiment, and from the air, you could see what fierce battles the 345th regiment had experienced!
"Comrade Molenko, our division was ordered to reinforce and finally arrived on time." Choibalshan got out of the command car and said to Molenko, who was stationed here.
The two sides saluted a military salute, and Choibalshan's eyes were full of shock.
When they arrived, many of them were asleep, their clothes were in tatters, and not far behind them were corpses covered with white cloths.
The first airborne division to be parachuted here experienced what a brutal battle!
"I've had a few fights with the enemy." Seeing the surprise in Choibalsan's eyes, Molenko said: "At first, there were some local Iranian fanatics, but after that, the situation was not right, among the enemies fighting with us, there were more and more faces of Westerners, and their weapons became more and more advanced, and they even bombarded us with artillery. If it weren't for the support of our Navy brothers, and even the Marine brothers who started fighting side by side with us, we really wouldn't have been able to hold it. In this way, we also suffered more than half of the casualties, and now, even the lightly wounded comrades have to continue fighting. ā
The face of the Westerner! In order to avoid the Soviet Union's occupation of the southward passage, the Americans couldn't wait, and their own troops were dispatched in groups, thinking that they would not know each other after changing their clothes? In order to avoid more international turmoil, it is just that it has not made a statement!
This is also the reason why their own strategic bombers dispatched and bombed the border thoroughly!
Airborne troops are inherently surrounded, and the more enemies you have, the more tenacious your side will fight! An army, generally speaking, loses a quarter, and it will have no combat effectiveness, and the Airborne Forces, even if they fight to the last man, will not lose their fighting spirit!
