"Comrades, Comrade Joseph has issued an order. In three days, we will launch an attack. From outside Caucasus, all the way to Persian Gulf! The enemies we have to face are mainly Turks, Iranians, Iraq people and Saudis! The armies of these countries are just lackeys of the Germany people. Except for Turks, the other countries are simply vulnerable. The great Buru army will definitely be able to defeat them. "Lieutenant General Kozlov is full of confidence in this battle.
After Britain lost Hegemonic Status and Tsarist Russia was destroyed, Germany's power entered the entire Middle East. All Middle East countries have become Germany's Protectorate. They also formed a lot of troops at the request of Germany. Especially before the outbreak of the war, a lot of troops were expanded. The number of Kingdom of Iran's armies reached one million, and they formed five armies, obeying the command of Military Advisory Group dispatched by Germany. Iraq formed an army of 400,000 people, also commanded by Germany Military Advisory Group. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has also formed two armies. The sparsely populated Kuwait have formed two infantry brigades.
Even the armies of these countries have been equipped with German equipment and have undergone German military training 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 powerful armies. I just hope that they can play a role in delaying the Buru army in the event of a war. After German military arrives on the battlefield, it is God's blessing that they can assist German military in combat and ensure logistics safety. After the war, most of the armies of these countries will be disbanded. In that case, Germany can control these areas.
"According to the intelligence we received, Turks has deployed a total of 400,000 people in the east. In addition, the Iranians have also deployed 400,000 people outside Caucasus. Iraq people have deployed 200,000 people. Therefore, we have to invade Persian Gulf For E, we must first defeat the army of one million. Although we have no advantage in terms of military strength, I believe that the elite Buru Army can definitely defeat the local ragtag!" 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 German military. However, that is when facing 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 attack. He hopes that we can win. If we can capture Persian Gulf, that would be the best. Even if we cannot capture it, we still have to capture Persian Gulf. Destroy those oil wells and oil fields and prevent the Germany people from getting a drop of oil from here. If we can complete this offensive mission, then we will all become heroes of the country!" Political Commissar Shamanin said.
Being able to become a national hero is naturally what everyone desires. At least their future will be bright. However, they also know that if they fail, the consequences will be very serious. By then, they may have to walk around without food.
"Comrade Tolbukhin, are the combat materials ready?" Lieutenant General Kozlov asked.
"Comrade Commander, we are ready! There are still a large amount of materials being transported out Caucasus to ensure our consumption in this offensive operation." Caucasian Front Army Chief of Staff Major General Tolbukhin replied.
Lieutenant General Kozlov nodded. "Comrades, everyone go back and prepare! In three days, we will launch the attack on time!"
"Yes, Comrade Commander!" All the generals replied. Everyone knows that now the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. They only hope that they will not encounter Germany people in this battle and can win.
Three days passed by in a flash. The various armies of the Russian army Caucasian Front Army are ready for battle. Especially Russian 47th Army Corps, the front army commander Lieutenant General Kozlov has high hopes. In the combat plan drawn up by Caucasus Area Army Headquarters, 47th Army Corps will cross the border and invade the north of Kingdom of Iran. Then climb over Zarogus Mountains and attack the northern part of Iraq. In this way, not only can the troops deployed in the north of various countries be surrounded, but the road to the south can also be opened. By then, the flat terrain will be more suitable for the two tank divisions of 47th Army Corps.
As for the other troops, they will be handed over to the mountain infantry troops of the Caucasian Front Army. The several armies under Caucasus, except 51st Army Corps, all have a lot of mountain infantry units. The mind is better suited to fighting in these mountainous places. Lieutenant General Kozlov believes that this time their attack will definitely win.
Turkish Army and the Iranian army are not clear about the movements of the Russian army. Especially after German military severely damaged the Russian army on the Western Front, it was even believed that the Russian army had suffered heavy losses. Under such circumstances, the Russian army should use this rare winter to lick its wounds and never launch an attack without authorization. This also made their defense somewhat slack.
At 8 a. m. on October 27, the Russian army Caucasian Front Army launched a surprise attack. Throughout the Caucasian Front Army, thousands of cannons were assembled to violently bombard the positions of the Turkish and Iranian troops.
The fierce bombardment caused heavy losses to the unprepared Turkish Army and the Iranian army and panicked them.
After half an hour of shelling, the Russian army 44th Front Army launched an attack from Georgia to the Turkish Army. The Russian troops 45th Army Corps and 46th Army Corps attack Turkish Army from Armenia. Russian 47th Army Corps and 51st Army Corps attacked Kingdom of Iran from Azerbaijan, attacking Kingdom of Iran's army deployed in the north.
Although, in terms of military strength, both Turkish Army and the Iranian army have an advantage. However, a surprise attack launched by the Russian army defeated them all.
In the panic, Frontline Troops didn't even have time to take precautions, and the defense line was already breached by Germany's people. Under such circumstances, their military superiority could not be used at all. Instead, they were defeated by the Russian army and suffered heavy losses.
Of course, although the Russian army does not have an advantage in strength. But the combat literacy and fighting will of their soldiers are far superior to the Turkish Army and the Iranian army. Turkish Army and the Iranian army were frightened by the Russian army's brave and fearless fighting style. So much so that the weapons in his hands cannot exert much combat power at all.
