Chapter 31
"War, why are war always war?"
If Mr. God looked down from the sky, there would be such a question.
On the battlefield between Iran and Iraqi Kirkuk, the battle has entered the most intense period.
During the air war, the Red Earl Richthofen's plane was shot down by ground fire. As for himself, his teammates did not know more about it except that he had skydiving.
"So is he dead? Or should I organize the ground troops to launch a limited attack, maybe..."
Rommel, who fell into the ground in his hand, thought quickly, but he knew that the idea just now was a typical hot-headedness.
At present, there are only 6 brigades in the five brigades of "Thunder International" plus a brigade-level "Zion Column". Among them, in addition to the "Razor Force" and the Flying Team, only 4 brigades can actually conduct ground combat. The troops of these 4 brigades not only have to complete the continuous siege of Tehran, but also have to face the British Tank Division and French Armored Infantry Division who have been sent to the fore, which have almost no losses.
This is a battle with a huge gap in strength. In terms of force comparison, "Thunder International" has an absolute disadvantage. But from a technical perspective, "Thunder International" must be slightly higher.
"Forget it, let our Air Force come back, we are defeated in this air battle! The mission of the Red Hunting Squad has been changed to protect the safety of Hawkeye, and no pursuit or proactive attack is allowed!"
Rommel gave a cold face and gave an order to surprise almost everyone who knew the news that the "Godfather of the Air" - the Red Earl Richthofen, was shot down.
"Commander, are we..."
Guo Songling wanted to ask Rommel to ask him to launch a small-scale ground attack. You should know that in addition to the pride of the "Godfather of the Air" team in "Thunder International" air power, he is also the godfather of Tang An, and Tang Yunyang's buddy and best friend.
As a traditional Chinese, Guo Songling wanted to remind Rommel that all this should be thought of, especially Tang Yunyang's relationship and the prestige of the Red Earl Richter Hoffen in the air power of the Chinese Federation.
Rommel did not answer his question, but looked at him coldly, with some threat in his eyes. Then he turned around and walked towards the war room, and ordered his adjutant as he walked.
"Give me another cup of coffee!"
The red Count Richterhoven was indeed shot down, and a long wound on his face that crossed his cheekbones was bleeding. Although it was not deep, a light-colored scar would be indispensable on his white face in the future.
"Damn it, it looks great now!"
When he was spitting on the remaining part on the plane, the red Count Richthofen murmured in his mouth, then smiled as if he was ridiculed, and made a series of strange swear words in his mouth.
"The Buddha of his ancestors and the Mother of God..."
While he was murmuring and complaining, footsteps and the sound of pulling the bolts came nearby. When the red Count Richthofen came to his senses and understood that he needed weapons to protect himself on the enemy's front, the warning sounds below had already been heard.
"Don't move...you, don't move...raising your hand and throwing the gun where we can see!"
Seeing the downed French infantry of the Red Earl Richterhoven, a search team was sent. As for the "Storm Goddess"-shaped ground effect boat used by Thunder International to search and rescue, it was still in a very distant place at this time.
The red Count Richthofen raised his hand helplessly, but he was not convinced.
"Sigh, you are sinister guys. I was shot down by air defense machine guns on the ground. I can't count it as your pilots! And, gentlemen, don't you understand that it is a despicable act to shoot down airplanes in an air combat with air defense machine guns!"
The French soldiers probably did not have the "awareness" as high as the Red Earl Richthofen, and ignored his repeated glory of the air knight.
"Go away, you bastard!"
"Peng", the French soldier who had just cursed in his mouth was knocked to the ground by the bad-tempered guy Richterhoven, the red Count. However, the silent threatening muzzle in the hands of the rest of the people still stopped him from continuing to punish the guy in front of him.
"I have to warn you all, I am the Red Earl Richthofen, so when you speak to me, you must say sir and please…!"
Perhaps many people in the infantry of the French Foreign Corps had heard of the legend of the guy in front of him, which was like a myth in the sky. Especially when he landed on the Champs-Elysées in Paris, he said the same thing as the French policeman who went to arrest him.
The French respect for heroes and the French's lang-like witty still made the soldiers who came to search peacefully accept the bad temper of the Red Earl Richterhoven.
"Well sir, please go with us. I think you will also want a single cell, right? Don't worry, Lord Earl, we will prepare everything for you. Ah, do you need cigarettes, my Lord!"
French soldiers joked with the red Count Richthofen, but took out cigarettes from their pockets. No matter what great figure the red Count Richthofen was, he was their captive at the moment, and his status only increased the honor and merits of this search.
At this time, the British and French fighters, who suffered heavy losses in the sky, made a comeback again. But to their surprise, the fighter jets of the "Red Hunting Squad" that had never allowed enemy planes to fly in the sky did not come to cause trouble for them.
The "Fei Di" who was afraid of several teams of British and French pilots, surrounded by "Hawkeye" in the distance, seemed to have not noticed the arrival of British and French fighters at all. If they did not make trouble, the "Red Hunting Squad" plane would not have any reaction.
But when they try to tell "Hawkeye", their radar will immediately report and find that a large number of enemy fighter jets will take off to respond. If we look at the distance, when British and French aircraft arrive at the attack position, the opponent's fighter jets will probably have already been waiting for it in the air.

Under the pressure of the French general, General Francis despere, Montgomery had to prepare for the attack. In front of him was the "Thunder International" air base, which was only more than 400 kilometers away from Kirkuk in Iraq. It can be said that this base tightly surrounds Tehran, and its air force firmly controls the large area in the middle.
Montgomery's "but" was precisely because of the sigh that this happened that he could not wait any longer. The armored forces of the Eighth Legion must immediately turn into the attack. They went straight to Tehran, and rescued the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Legion, the British Army General, from the encirclement, and completely disintegrated the "Thunder International" attack.
"It seems that only this is true. Our armored forces will advance to the next location where the front can be reorganized with complete cover of the air force and artillery. Then the infantry will be stationed, air force cover, artillery will move forward... As long as we carry out such a stable offensive pace, then the robber on that side will not have much ability..."
When Montgomery told himself these words, there was a lack of confidence in the evidence, and I believe there were more doubts. But just as Heli questioned the orders of the French general, a very fierce battle occurred in Tehran, which had been calm and unwarranted.
"Brothers, let's go..."
The wide formation of the "Thunder God Tanks" group surged forward almost at the same time with Li Erganzi and Li Jinyu's gesture. Then some black smoke came out of the exhaust pipe, and the solid tank seemed to be lowering its head, and the bull was about to attack.
At high altitude are the "Feidi" fighter jets of the "Red Hunting Squad", providing air protection for the armored forces on the ground. At low altitude, groups of "razor rotor attack aircraft" are constantly dispatching, and their targets are the infantry fronts in the suburbs of Tehran.
As for the "** heavy artillery" of the "Thunder International" Tank Brigade and the Heavy Brigade, the heavy artillery shells were in shock waves, and the roads were opened for the tank troops.
The explosion of the detonated anti-tank mines made these artillery fire very powerful. The barrage kept approaching the trench, which made the British and Iranian infantry there murmur curse the British artillery.
"Why don't these bastards fight back? God knows what these bastards are waiting for!"
Yes, the British artillery did not fight back, and they didn't know what they were waiting for.
In fact, this order came from the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Legion, Edmund Allenby. He was captured by Thunder International, and his eyes were not idle in the enemy's base. The huge pile of combat supplies made him understand that these guys were short of nothing.
The besieged Tehran cannot stop the impact of the two armored brigades of the opponent without airships, planes, or land transportation.
Therefore, he would not take out the cannonballs in the warehouse until the most critical moment. In other words, if "Thunder International" does not break through the suburbs, he would not take out these ammunitions that can repel the enemy at the last moment.
The barrage approached the suburbs inch by inch, and the "razor" in the sky shot a series of rockets, and the entire suburbs fell into the sea of fire. At this moment, Edmund Allenby, the British Army general, did only one thing, and he shouted hard to the radio microphone.
