The 45th Army has two divisions under its jurisdiction, and the total strength of the troops directly under the army is 50,000, but due to the problem of ships, it is only enough to transport the strength of one division, and Song Laohu finally chose the 90th Division as the force to attack Tehran, not because the 90th Division is relatively strong in combat, but only because the 90th Division is relatively close to the Caspian Sea. Song Laohu first used the radio of the headquarters to directly order the 90th Division and the guard regiment directly under the army to assemble along the Caspian Sea coast, and then rushed to the headquarters of the 90th Division by car.

As the elite of the Chinese Empire, the 90th Division was naturally very efficient, and by the time Song Laohu arrived at the headquarters of the 90th Division, the 20,000 troops of the 90th Division had already left for the Caspian Sea coastal area.

The commander of the 90th Division is Zhou Tiedan, this guy was also transferred to the Western Expeditionary Army with Song Laohu, and after Song Laohu saw Zhou Tiedan, he first briefly introduced the task to Zhou Tiedan.

Zhou Tiedan was naturally excited after hearing this, patted his chest and promised, "Please rest assured, commander, our 90th Division will ensure that it will complete its mission and take Tehran in one fell swoop." ”

Song Laohu patted Zhou Tiedan's shoulder and said with a smile, "This time is a great opportunity for you and my brother to make meritorious contributions, the Western Expeditionary Army has an army of more than one million, and our army has only seized this opportunity because of the early arrival, otherwise there are so many troops, and such a good task may not be able to meet us, so this time there must be no mistakes." ”

"Don't worry! Tiny Tehran only has 10,000 British troops, and our army is a sneak attack, so it is easy to take Tehran in one fell swoop while the British army is caught off guard. Zhou Tie said confidently.

That night, more than 20,000 men of the 90th Division boarded ships on the southeastern coast of the Caspian Sea, and the fleet was loaded with soldiers and sailed toward the southwest. If you prepare in advance, you will lose the opportunity to sneak attack.

Sure enough, due to the frequent movement of the Chinese army on the northeast front of Iran, it seemed that they would attack at any time, attracting all the attention of the British army to the northeast front, so they did not find this sneak attack force coming across the sea.

Early the next morning, the 20,000 troops of the 90th Division landed in the vicinity of Amole, a small town with only a small number of Iranian troops stationed there, and the 90th Division captured Amolle with little effort.

At this time, Song Laohu and Zhou Tiedan were still on the way to Amole on a small steamer. After receiving the battle report from the front, Song Laohu immediately ordered the vanguard to advance directly in the direction of Tehran.

At the same time, in the northeastern region of Iran, hundreds of thousands of troops of the Chinese Imperial Army launched a fierce attack on the defense line of the Anglo-Iranian army, under the bombardment of thousands of artillery pieces and dozens of aircraft of the Chinese Empire, the defense line of the Anglo-Iranian army was like paper paste, and was soon broken through by the Chinese army, and hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves stepped on the corpses of the enemy. Singing the military song of the Chinese Empire all the way, it quickly advanced towards the hinterland of Iran.

News of the rout at the front soon reached Tehran, where the city was in chaos, and the British commander, seeing that the general situation was gone, knew that it would be difficult to resist the onslaught of the Chinese army. Attempt to lead the remnants to retreat into Iraqi territory and resist again. But at this time, the British commander made a wrong decision, that is, he wanted to take the Iranian king Ahmad hostage? Shah, so the commander of the British army personally went to the palace to persuade Ahmad? The Shah retreated with the British.

But when the British commander entered the Iranian royal palace. It was attacked by the Iranian King's Guard, and the British commander became a prisoner of the Iranians. Upon learning that the commander had been held hostage by the Iranians, the British immediately launched an attack on the Iranian royal palace. The commander who tried to rescue them. Iranian forces loyal to the Shah of Iran ensued a fierce battle with the British.

Tehran, which was already in chaos, became even more chaotic at this time, and at this time, the vanguard of the 90th Division had rushed to the city of Tehran, and immediately launched an attack on Tehran. The British army, which had lost its unified command, was already panicked, and at this time did not know the reality of the Chinese people, and thought that the main force of the Chinese army had arrived, and under the attack of the Chinese army, it was soon completely defeated, and a large number of British soldiers escaped from Tehran and rushed westward, and the 90th Division easily occupied Tehran.

Hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops broke into Iran, the British army was about to collapse, and the Chinese army swept away the leaves with a strong wind, quickly sweeping most of Iran.

On December 1, 1916, King Ahmad of Iran? Shah, announced the abrogation of all unequal treaties signed with Western powers such as Britain and Tsarist Russia, and declared war on the side of the Entente led by Britain, France, Russia and the United States. At the same time, he announced that he would become a vassal of the Chinese Empire, join the Chinese Alliance, and join the Allied Group.

"It took less than ten days for the Western Expeditionary Force to successfully occupy the entire territory of Iran, and its vanguard force has even broken through into Iraq." At the imperial meeting, Yang Jichang, chief of the general staff, respectfully reported to Ren Chao.

At this time, unlike Iran, Iraq had not yet become an independent state, and was nominally part of the Ottoman Empire, but soon after the outbreak of World War I, the British army captured Iraq.

"Very good, Zhao Bin fought a very good battle, successfully attacked Tehran and rescued the Iranian royal family, if the British absconded with the Iranian royal family, it will definitely bring us a lot of trouble. And now with the full cooperation of the Iranian royal family, we can also stabilize the situation in Iran more quickly. Ren Chao nodded approvingly and said.

"Your Majesty, Commander-in-Chief Zhao Bin plays His Majesty, and the meritorious soldiers for this battle ask for merit." Yang Jichang continued.

"Zhao Bin's merit excerpt, I have already seen it, and I will approve it all!" Ren Chao said briskly.

"Your Majesty, on behalf of the front-line soldiers, thank you Majesty Longen." Yang Jichang said respectfully.

According to the report of Zhao Bin, commander-in-chief of the Western Expeditionary Army, due to the smooth progress of our army in the Middle East, in order to reverse the disadvantage, Britain and the United States and other countries began to increase troops on a large scale in the Middle East. Since the Australian battlefield, the Indian and South Sea battlefields pinned down the main forces of the British, the British could not draw many troops. But the Americans, who had just entered the war, had plenty of troops, and now about 100,000 U.S. troops had rushed to Iraq to reinforce them. And reinforcements are still pouring into Iraq. Yang Jichang continued.

"I didn't expect that the first time we fought the Americans would be in Iraq." Ren Chao couldn't help but smile and said, "How is the follow-up reinforcements of my Western Expeditionary Army progressing?" ”

"At present, 500,000 troops have rushed to the front line, and the rest of the follow-up troops will also rush to the front line to participate in the battle within a month." Yang Jichang replied honestly. (To be continued......)
