Chapter 794 War Persia (4)

Sino-Soviet defies, Saudi Arabia declares war, the chiefs support, Reza Khan abdicates, Pahlavi takes office as the new king of Iran, a series of dazzling political transactions caught the world off guard. After calming down, careful people will find that in this diplomatic and military operation, Yang Qiu directly abandoned the principles of consulting Britain, France, the United States and other countries in the past, intervenes in the war without hesitation, and excludes Britain, which has major interests in the Persian Gulf!

No matter what explanations were later, one thing was recognized by historians, that is, after unification in 1915 and 24 years of development, although there were still problems in China, China under Yang Qiu was impatient to pass this war and establish the image of an Asian leader! The most intense response to this was Britain, but before Chamberlain and the Parliament could have time to express their anger, Myanmar fell, the Japanese army turned back to Bangladesh and Germany once again increased troops to Poland, and other news that the fantasy of the British Empire was ruthlessly shattered.

After Britain chose to remain silent, France, Italy, the United States and other countries were even more unlikely to intervene in the Iran war at this time. Of course, they were not kind-hearted, but were waiting to reap profits. Therefore, except for Italy, which lacks oil, other countries tightened their exports to China, especially to Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf, which were all collected.

This was a difficult period. Yang Qiu knew very well that before the world situation was completely clear, he had to face the whole world alone! Therefore, the significance of this battle not only determines the fate of China and the Soviet Union, but also rises to whether his Asian policy can be realized. So after the order was issued, he rejected the meeting request of Xu Gesen and Jansen and others, and quietly waited for the front-line battle report.

In the early morning, thousands of pilots stood in front of the planes. Xiong Bofei's thunder and lightning had been printed on five small golden dragons, and the positions were also ranked first, but he did not dare to be proud, because the one who stood in front of him was the old ace of the Air Force. Major General Zhao Meihang, commander of the Air Force of the Persian Gulf Army.

This is one of the legendary figures second only to generals such as Xue Muhua and Yu Lei! 14 effectively shot down in the European war, 4 shot down in the first Afghanistan War, 21 times dealt with the air dangers of new aircraft, and 3 times forced landings to save fighters, including jets sent to the troops for test flights. Flying across all types of aircraft of sea and air, the cumulative flight time is 12,000 hours, basically 1.6 hours a day for 20 consecutive years! Even the performance limit of lightning was he led the team to fly out.

"The president's order has been delivered! We will attack today! Defeat the invaders and defend the interests of the Republic! Complete the sacred mission entrusted by the motherland!" After coming to Saudi Arabia, he remained silent and focused on air military affairs and ignored other things, making Bai Chongxi complain a lot. Now he is like a lion, with his sleeves and his eyes blowing fire, motivating his pilot: "To be honest! I have never been thrown on the head since I opened the plane! I only tasted it here! I want to ask you, is it good to see if someone is shitting on the head?!"

"It's not good!" The pilots gritted their teeth together.

"That's it! Fight back! Clear the sky above Persia! Go and tell the Soviets and tell the whole world! Our nation is not only the legendary flying gods and monsters, but also you! The sky above is the place where dragons and dragons are soaring! It is the world where you make achievements!"

"Defend the country! Sweep the sky!"

"Set off!"

"Set off!"

With shouts and military salutes, Hu Fufu Base and the surrounding four airports all took action, and the high-flying national flag became the totem in everyone's mind. The lightning and snake-turning that protected the bomber, the H-5 with a full load of 3 tons, the H-7 with a full load of 8 tons, and the 578 double-headed war eagles dedicated to aerial interruption and interception, began to rotate the propeller one by one.

"How is Fatty Xiong asking me to be a chief aircraft this time?" A lightning with two little golden dragons slowly slid past Xiong Bofei's landline. The wingman pilot Wang Lan provocatively waved his fist to the chief aircraft.

"You baton. Be your wingman." Xiong Bofei ignored this bastard and carefully checked his anti-Dutch suit, parachute, seat belt and lifesaving bag. The latest equipment of the anti-Dutch suit is because no fighter is invincible. Altitude and high maneuverability are the key to air decisive victory. Therefore, in order to help pilots overcome dizziness and black vision during high overload maneuvering, ten years ago, the General Administration of the Republic of China secretly imitated the anti-Dutch suit based on some top-secret drawings, and took out the finished products to start mass manufacturing last year.

He was indeed not in a hurry, because this time the target was Avas and the surrounding Soviet base, with a straight range of 577 kilometers and more than 500 Soviet aircraft around him, including at least 50 BF109, some of which were fighting. However, the distance made him worried, because lightning and swindling snakes were not considered long-range fighters, and the base close to Kuwait encountered a sandstorm a few days ago, so the lightning and swindling snakes with short feet were hung on a dual fuel tank, and the double-headed dragons with long-range flights were hung on a secondary fuel tank.

"Then let's compare who killed more!" Wang Lan laughed loudly, Xiong Bofei, who was leaping into the sky with the first to rush into the sky.

While an air force war eagle rushed into the night sky one after another, the 22 fleet that infiltrated the Persian Gulf at night 130 kilometers away from the Bushel Port in central Iran was also busy. The center of the fleet is the core aircraft carriers of the Tibet and Xikang. Two Xiangjiang-class light cruisers are responsible for air defense in the east. The outermost periphery is a destroyer and protection formation composed of 6 destroyers and 11 frigates.

Next to the fleet, a landing formation consisting of 10 Tianshan-class landing ships and 22 transport ships was sailing north in two batches under the protection of the heavy cruiser formation.

"Sir, it's a British destroyer. Should I send a deportation formation to destroy it?" Captain Tibet, the flagship of the 22nd Fleet, and the fleet aviation combat staff officer Pan Duheng handed the telescope to Zhu Binhou. In the night, a British W-class destroyer with a flashing red anti-collision light 17 nautical miles away was watching this side silently.

"No need. The big thing is not hidden from others." Zhu Binhou stopped Pan Duheng's suggestion. The Persian Gulf was too narrow. Since the UK wanted to see it, let them see it. He cared more about how to launch the login and asked: "Is there a login plan?"

"The plan of the headquarters is to protect the Xiangjiang River and the Air Force, and a regiment of the 72nd Mofan Division of the 18th Army, and set out to take the shore from the Port of Lilo to attract the Soviet army to move south. We will protect the main 22nd Independent Armored Regiment and the 21st Infantry Division from the east of the Arab River and the Alvande area at the mouth of the Iran. This is the estuary of the river channel, which is washed away by silt, and the water depth is shallow and the terrain is open, which is very suitable for landing ships to rush directly to the beach. It can also exert the firepower advantage of heavy patrols. In addition, in order to avoid stimulating the British army, the Soviet army only had one infantry division and one tank regiment in Abadan, so after getting ashore, the 22nd Independent Regiment will attack Abadan along the Arab River to prevent the British army from intervening!"

"Why, there is information?"

"There is no specificity, but the British army has four infantry battalions in Basra and two divisions in Kuwait behind it, so General Bai is worried that they will take advantage of our opportunity to attack Awas to capture Abadan."

Zhu Binhou frowned. In fact, in his opinion, although Iran is a mountain plateau country, the coastal areas are flat desert areas. The Soviet army has no navy, has lost air supremacy, lacks heavy firepower, and there is no way to build anti-login fortifications on the soft beach, so there is no need to be so cautious. It is the first time that the General Staff is fighting, so it is so cautious that it also gives the "way exploration" code for the login operation.

Pan Duheng was about to continue talking about the landing plan. Chief of Staff Deng Haogan walked in: "Commander, the time is up."

Zhu Binhou looked up and saw that the lights were already brightly lit outside the window. The deck lights of the two aircraft carriers were all turned on. Under the light, 72 Lifeng fighters, 48 ​​Yaksha dive bombers, and 60 Osprey torpedo/horizontal bombers were covered with decks. Although the Navy Aviation has not been as popular as the Air Force in recent years, both personnel quality and fighter performance are actually higher than those of the Air Force. Except for the lightning that has not yet been equipped with the 22 fleet, Lifeng, Yaksha and Osprey are all new aircraft equipped in 35 years.

In view of the poor national aviation design strength, Yang Qiu almost remakes the drawings of ships, aviation, engines, tanks and other equipment from World War II and early post-war and stuffed them to the research department. In order to keep it confidential, he handed over this work to Rui Yao. Therefore, equipment like Thunder and Lightning, which can be built immediately as long as key technologies are breakthroughs, it is nothing more than slightly different performance.

Because the Navy Aviation only had 1200 horsepower engine when it selected the second-generation carrier-based aircraft, it chose Zero War, SBD Fearless and TBF Avengers as the second-generation carrier aircraft. Of course, Chinese aviation masters led by Wang Zhu and Zhou Houkun will not simply imitate them. They will make major modifications in their original technology according to their own ideas and national needs. Therefore, although the aircraft of the Republic of China are very similar to the classic fighter jets in later generations, most of them are newly designed. For example, the 1200 horsepower Li Although the wind was born from zero war, it strengthened protection according to its own standards in the Republic of China, sacrificing part of the range and maneuverability, increasing the take-off weight of a maximum of 2.6 tons to 3.5 tons. Yaksha dive bomber and Air Force version of the ghost vehicle dive bomber also ensured that the attack capacity did not weaken on the SBD5 model, increased the volume and modified the airfoil, using a belly semi-buried pylon and folding wing. The speed was increased to 480 kilometers per hour compared to the SBD5, while the Osprey and TBF Avengers torpedo bombers were comparable to that of the Osprey and TBF Avengers torpedo bombers.

Moreover, in order to increase practical experience, the Navy Aviation not only carefully selected materials, but also carried out confrontation exercises with the Air Force every year, and sent elite pilots to participate in two Afghan wars, so it was only stronger than the Air Force.

"Wild boys!" Zhu Binhou picked up the phone, and the voice of the legendary general who had transformed from a pilot to a fleet commander sounded from a pilot in all the loudspeakers of the fleet: "Yesterday, those bastards from the Air Force asked me to go to the Red Sea for vacation because they said that they were the king of the sky." The pilots showed disdain, the sailors shouted and cursed, but the officers smiled.

"Do you know how I answered? I will tell their commander, go fuck you, I will be closer than you, follow me and eat dust!"

"Now, it's time for us to fulfill our promise! Let's go! Kill the enemy! Sweep the sky! Throw the bomb onto the enemy's heads! Let the enemy tremble under our wings! Let them cry!"

"Go to attack, wild boys! Victory and glory belong to the Navy!"

The two commanders of the sea and air force were encouraged to mobilize the pilots' belligerent. Especially HNA, because there were no missions over the years, it had been a long time to fight with the Air Force.

When more than 700 war eagles rushed towards Avas in batches, the Persian Gulf was completely in chaos! The resentment towards the Persian Empire made the Arabs sit idly by and watch Iran's failure, but the Soviet army's strength and the GC movement hostile to the chief system made them feel fear from the heart. The decline of Britain made the Arabs quickly give up the idea of ​​following the British Empire. Saudi Arabia's changes and the strong intervention of the Chinese National Defense Forces became the backbone to stabilize the local area. Most importantly, China is not interested in Arab land and population, nor is it interested in Islam outside its own country. This also determines that countries, including Saudi Arabia, do not have to worry about their own regime and rule.

But the question is, can they defeat the Soviet army with 300,000 troops, thousands of tanks and armored vehicles, and thousands of aircraft? If China fails, will this desert become a paradise for the GC sect?

The most chaotic one is Avas, the largest and most important military center in southern Iran, has completely become a Soviet fortress. Reza Khan spent a lot of money to build a solid fortification to prevent British invasion and prevent British invasion and made it cheaper for the Soviet Union. Oil fields and refineries became red property, docks had to serve red, soldiers became red vassals, and planes were painted with sickles and hammers. Even the railway, a symbol of national progress, was taken over and requisitioned, and no Iranians could enjoy the convenient transportation that originally belonged to them. The only thing they could see on the railway was the requisition of the army train with machine guns and cannons after being requisitioned. The confused Iranians had to cross the border with their families and flock to Iraq and Kuwait because they felt that it was the territory of Britain and that the war would not affect it.

However, when the Iranians did not know where the future was, news came that Reza Khan abdicated and Pahlavi became the new king. Will the departure of a strong man hated by Imam make the situation in Iran improve? The Iranians did not know, but General Vevere was unwilling to continue to wait like this.

"What the hell do you want to do? Do you want to learn from the Japanese? The Anglo-Iranian Oil Company is British property and must be returned and handed over to the British government!"

In Avas' Soviet command, British Middle East Commander-in-Chief Weiville roared loudly at the Soviet Persian Front Deputy Commander Lemezov. He really couldn't help but get angry! The fisherman's profits are all daydreams of bitch politicians! After the Soviet army controlled Iran, the British Empire had been in trouble for eight lifetimes. First, Tabriz and Abadan's British-Iran Oil Company was temporarily taken over by the Soviet Union in the name of military control, and then the refinery was gone. Then hundreds of thousands of Iranian refugees were poured into the small Kuwait, and finally the Soviet army demanded the release of Kuwait three times a day! The bastards in Moscow even threatened to open up the road with the words "if necessary, they will be forced to disarm the British army in Kuwait if necessary"!

Moreover, recently the Soviet Union has strengthened its activities in Iraq and secretly colluded with the Iraqi Jinban Group, trying to make the British army unable to take care of themselves and have to give up the Kuwait passage so that they can attack Saudi Arabia through here! These actions have made Vevere extremely angry. If Whitehall hadn't said that Moscow needed to restrain Germany, he would have ordered the attack on Avas long ago.

The most annoying thing is that this time the Iranian king changes, and China actually directly excludes Britain! Until now, Reza Khan and the new king Pahlavi are still visiting Beijing, which means that once the Chinese army defeats the Soviet army, Iran's future political situation may not even have the ability to intervene.

So he came today to ask the Soviet army to revoke the control of the British and Iranian Petroleum Company and hand over the British army the Abadan, where the refinery and oil fields are located. As long as he controls this strategic center, the British army will have hope to interfere in the situation in Iran in the future.

Behind him, his adjutant raised his head to maintain the majesty of the British Empire, but he secretly wanted to laugh in his heart. The Soviets had no ships. When Reza Khan fled, he ordered all coastal ships to flee to Saudi Arabia. Now there are only a few small fishing boats left on the Iranian coast. On the contrary, even if the third batch of transport fleets of China had returned, there were still dozens of transport ships and a fleet in Saudi Arabia. Not to mention that 10 transport ships were specially used for landing operations not long ago. So the current situation is that the Soviet Union called for a fight, but could not cross the sea of ​​the Persian Gulf. He had just been cleaned up by the plane!

China has a fleet that can rush straight to the Iranian coastline at any time.

Could the Soviet Union be in a hurry?

Lemezov was indeed very anxious. The news that the air strike group was almost wiped out two days ago had made Moscow very angry. He ordered to attack Saudi Arabia from the land as soon as possible and seize the airport to paralyze the Chinese air base, but the problem was that there was no way! Now Avas' Soviet army has reached two armies, totaling 150,000. If the British army opens Kuwait, he is confident that he can use cavalry to quickly enter Saudi Arabia. As long as his army can rush in, the Chinese Air Force will be rootless duckweed, and the Persian threat can be reduced a lot.

All these British guys are blamed!

Lieutenant General Lemezov looked at Vevell hatefully. Seeing that the Chinese were about to land and kill him, there was no time to prepare for the war, so there was no time to quarrel with the UK. The formulaic reply said: "General, I have said it many times. Please contact the headquarters and Moscow for this issue. I have no right to make a decision." After saying that, he left Vevell aside: "Order Major Cardiff's reconnaissance plane to take off as soon as possible to prevent the enemy from attacking."

"Damn it! You will pay the price!" Weiville stomped his feet angrily. Seeing this, the adjutant immediately came up and whispered: "General, do you want to tell them the news that the Chinese fleet arrived outside Bushe?"

"Why tell? Let these shameless Slavic GC party members suffer!" Recalling the Chinese 22 fleet that moved 120 kilometers off the sea a few hours ago, Vevere was in a much better mood. Since the Soviet Union lost its maritime air supremacy, they didn't know where the fleet was. So they waved their hands: "Let's go, it's a waste of time here! General Quinan should be notified as soon as possible to deploy the troops to Basra."

"Basra? General, Whitehall didn't let us intervene." The adjutant was stunned, but Weiville looked at the slightly shiny sky with deep eyes: "Jeff, you have to understand that the Chinese fleet will not enter this narrow sea for no reason, so they will definitely take action in these two days! Perhaps a landing war will be launched soon, so we must control the initiative!"

Weiville took the jeep he sent when Bai Chongxila's relationship with him and quickly left Avas. Looking at the brand new jeep, Lemezov took back his envious look and sneered and shouted: "Hmph, damn British man! Why are you still standing there? Did the reconnaissance plane take off? I want to know the location of the Chinese fleet!"

The general's request must be fulfilled immediately. Although the heavy losses a few days ago and the Persian Gulf air supremacy battle in the past few days was completely defeated, Avaz Airport was still busy. Soon, two i15 biplane fighters responsible for reconnaissance left the runway and flew south. Then more than a dozen i16 and 4 bf109 engines also began to rotate. Just as the second batch of aircraft were about to take off, a unique motor sound suddenly came from the sky!

"Come on, see who it is?"

"Where have enemy planes been found in the watchtower?"

The Soviet army looked into high places quickly, but the sky in the south had nothing but a few white clouds dyed red by the rising sun. Could it be that the plane from Tehran? Just as they were trying to search for the source of the sound, eight silver spots suddenly jumped on the Karen River 25 kilometers away! It turned out that for optical reconnaissance, eight Li Feng, who was responsible for the raid, set off and flew around the unmanned desert west of Musabar Bay, and then approached the Karen River west of Awas. Since there were unmanned desert areas along the way, the fleet also flew in ultra-low formations. In addition, the Karen River channel was flat and there were dunes blocking the sight of Awas, so it was not until the Soviet army took the initiative to jump out of the Soviet army to discover it.

"Chinese plane!"

"Quick! Send an alarm!"

The Soviet army obviously did not expect that the opponent would come from the east of Iraq. Li Feng suddenly jumped out so scared that the lookout on the tower roared and screamed. Just as the partner behind him shook the alarm hard, eight Li Fengs had already rushed to a height of two thousand meters, and then all turned right, followed by the osprey and rushed down quickly towards the Avas Airport.

Amid the alarm, a large number of Soviet pilots rushed to the apron, trying to take off as soon as possible to intercept enemy aircraft. The anti-aircraft artillery immediately turned the muzzle to the south to the east. The four bf109s that were originally ready to take off were faster and rushed to the end of the runway. Although the Soviet army knew that the National Defense Force would retaliate against the air strikes, the lack of radar and unfamiliarity with ultra-low-altitude flights led to the inability to early warning.

"Free attack, free attack."

Lieutenant Tan Zhen of the Navy Aviation Corps pressed the throat communicator, and after releasing the radio silence, his wrist trembled softly. Li Feng, who kept diving at a large angle, completed a quick and sharp turn to the right again with a small radius, and walked behind a bf109 that had just taken off and could not move.
