Forward, forward, the proudest cavalry of the Soviet, invincible!

Galloping in the mountains of northern Iran, you can realize that the cavalry is the most suitable arms here. They have strong mobility and flexibility. At the same time, the machine gun dragged behind the horse also allows them to have strong firepower at any time when they need it!

The 23rd Cavalry Division was almost dispatched together with the 1st mountain cavalry division, but the attack routes of both sides were different.

The 1st mountain Cavalry Division has even grams of the city. When it is marching towards Tabriz, the 23rd Cavalry Division has also established fruitful achievements.

Go, go! Wielding sabers, the cavalry cut the occasional Iranian soldiers who resisted in half. The soldiers of the Iranian border guard behind quickly threw away their guns and surrendered.

The battle went so well!

Colonel baranov, the division commander, rode on his horse and observed his long team.

They marched eastward along the South Bank of the Caspian Sea. Within one day, they rushed to enzeri port and occupied Rasht. Now, after a night's rest, their cavalry and horses have recovered their strength.

Today, they are going to occupy the west gate of Tehran, the city of Ghazvin!

When they attacked along the Caspian Sea, they walked on the flat coast, and now, marching south, they entered the mountains.

The cavalry can't spread out in the mountains. This long snake array is easy to be ambushed by the enemy.

It also needs time for the enemy to be ready for an ambush! In this battle, the Soviet Army formulated the tactics of quick battle and quick decision, which are the experience learned from the German Blitzkrieg.

Fast, this is the only magic weapon. As long as the speed is fast enough to make the other party unexpected, it is impossible for the other party to organize an effective counter attack!

Along the way, the Iranian army has no decent resistance at all. Wherever it goes, the Iranian army is defeated thousands of miles, which makes the Soviet cavalry more excited. For them, today, they hurry up and occupy the city of Ghazvin. Tomorrow, they can meet the first army in the city of Ghazvin and rush to Tehran!

On both sides, there are tall and towering mountains? Wake up, can you transport the equipment to the mountain in ten days and a half months?

Colonel baranov was not worried about being ambushed. He was only worried that he was not fast enough.

The cavalry advanced for an hour, and the mountain pass in front was even more dangerous.

Godasco Valley!

Iran's roads are built along the interior of the valley. There are high mountains on both sides of the valley, and they extend for more than ten kilometers.

"Sir, shall we send someone to check on the top of the mountain?" Beside baranov, said Konig, commander of the cavalry company.

Konig is a tall Cossack. He has lived on horseback since childhood. The most noticeable thing is a scar on his face, which runs almost across the whole cheek from the corner of his left eye to the right of his mouth.

This was left when they fought with the White army. For Cossack men, it was a kind of pride to be cut into their faces by the other party's saber. They were born to fight, and it was a kind of honor to be injured in battle.

Now, Konig also found the danger of the terrain. If there were enemies lying in ambush on the peaks on both sides, it would be a great threat to his own side.

"No, what we need to do is speed up the whip and run over quickly!" Baranov said: "we have no time to delay. Our goal is to reach Tehran in two days."

In two days, it will become two days later, which has made balanov lose face. If he can't wait for the first army in gazwin, he even plans to fight Tehran alone, rush into the Royal Palace of lisahan, capture lisahan alive and take it back to the Soviet Union!

Hurry up and rush over!

After walking through the valley, gazvin is ahead. He can't wait.

At baranov's urging, the striker did not hesitate. One white horse stepped into the godasco valley.

They did not know that on both sides of the mountain, there were pairs of eyes watching the arrival of this huge army.

There are not many Iranian troops.

The size of the Iranian army is about 120000 people. It is composed of two Royal Guard divisions equipped with 105mm Skoda artillery. They are stationed in Tehran and nine ordinary divisions are stationed in six military regions across the country, of which five divisions are in the north to guard against the Soviet Union and four divisions are in the South to guard against oil fields and possible maritime attacks.

In addition to these, there are five gendarmerie brigades and an independent mechanized brigade.

These troops did not play an immediate role in the Soviet invasion, because they were scattered in various stations and could not be concentrated into fists. They were easy to be broken by the Soviets.

They're not ready yet.

Even after a day has passed, modle has just assembled about six battalions near Ghazvin, plus the 167th infantry division, the total number has just exceeded 10000, but modle is full of confidence.

imitate others and thus lose one 's own individuality.

The Soviets wanted to learn from the German Blitzkrieg. They used cavalry instead of tanks in the mountains and had the ability to move quickly. They really beat the Iranians all the way.

However, the essence of German Blitzkrieg is definitely more than using mobile advantages to attack. On the way forward, it must be accompanied by a large number of Stuka bombers to blow up the enemy in front in advance!

The Soviets used bombers. Their bombers were just a kind of intimidation. They indiscriminately dropped two bombs on the city and told the citizens not to attempt to resist the invasion of the Soviet Army!

It's so simple. It's too pediatrics.

Of course, there are reasons for this. Northern Iran is mountainous. Anti aircraft machine guns are easy to hide, and even light machine guns can shoot in the air. The Soviets lack effective armor protection. The only IL-2 is deployed in the West.

Moreover, they don't think it's necessary. There are no large fortifications in the mountains of Iran. They can't find a suitable target.

Moreover, the Soviet Army's consistent thinking made them despise the role of the air force. If they could have a plane searching on the way forward, they would avoid the tragic annihilation of the whole army.

Modle's headquarters was set up in a natural cave on the back hillside, and reports from the front line were constantly transmitted to his headquarters.

"The Soviet forward has entered our ambush zone!"
