On the northern Iranian front, the Headquarters of the Russian Caucasian Front Army moved together with the 51st Army Corps. The two tank divisions of the 47th Army Corps served as the vanguard, while the massive forces of the 51st Army Corps mopped up the Iranian troops scattered by the tank units.
At the very least, judging from the current situation, the Caucasian Front Army had fought quite well in this battle. The 44th, 45th, and 46th Army Corps had inflicted devastating losses on the Turkish 1st Army and 2nd Army Corps in eastern Turkey, driving them back step by step. Meanwhile, the 47th and 51st Army Corps had crushed the 1st and 2nd Army Corps of the Iranian Army in northern Iran. Everything was developing in a direction favorable to the Russians.
"Comrade Commander, the Iranians have been utterly defeated by us. We have already taken more than a hundred thousand Iranian prisoners. Vast numbers of Iranians are fleeing in rout. According to the intelligence we have obtained, Tabriz will be the direction of their retreat. They intend to flee there and continue resisting us." Chief of Staff Major General Tolbukhin wore a broad smile.
The Russian military had seen few victories in this war. Although they had only defeated the Turks and Iranians so far, it was still a rare and precious victory! If they could satisfy Comrade Joseph, everyone would reap enormous benefits.
Lieutenant General Kozlov nodded. "Have the 6th and 54th Tank Divisions accelerate toward Tabriz. Eliminate them before the main Iranian force retreats there. That way, northern Iran will be left wide open, and they will no longer have the strength to stop us from crossing the Zarogus Mountains!"
In Lieutenant General Kozlov's view, defeating the Iranians was undoubtedly far easier than crossing the Zarogus
