"Come on, immediately order our troops to charge towards the top and take down a piece of high ground!" the division commander Colonel Balanov shouted loudly.

When gunfire and explosions sounded around, Colonel Balanov immediately knew that something was wrong. The Iranians were able to set up an encirclement here while they were retreating step by step. This was simply surprising and I couldn't believe it.

However, Colonel Balanov was not panicked by being surrounded. He immediately made the correct judgment and rushed up the hillside!

Among the Soviet troops, the cavalry were almost all troops with a history of meritorious deeds, and those who could become cavalry were elite. After all, the most talented soldiers were infantry or even cooks. The cavalry often raided for hundreds of kilometers a day, and ordinary people could not hold on at all.

Now, before Colonel Balanov's order was conveyed, some of the cavalry had already taken action!

They patted the horse's back and pulled the reins, signaling their war horses to run towards the hillside!

Quick, run!

War horses are all the best. After receiving instructions from the rider, they immediately ran upwards, but what greeted them was a more violent shooting!

The bullets were like heavy rain, and they were scattered towards them. Rows of cavalry fell down, and the horses were neighing, and the riders were thrown into a blue nose and swollen face, and even their ribs were broken.

But as long as they have a breath, they will continue to run upwards!

They were on the hillside, and they were raising their waists until the bullets shot them, their bodies rolled down and fell together with the war horses.

The battle went on very quickly and was quite cruel. The enemy above had too much firepower!

Cavalry is a terrible group of troops, which has been traversing for centuries. They rely on their powerful impact force and can easily break through the enemy's positions. But now, they cannot rush up at all. It is impossible for horses to charge towards the mountain and run.

In this case, they all became slow living targets! At the same time, there were too many machine guns on it, and the dense bullets were like the god of death!

"Charge towards our southwest hillside!" Balanov pulled out his pistol: "You can only move forward, not back!"

Balanov has participated in many battles and is experienced. In these few minutes, he has already judged that the enemies on the hillsides on both sides are different!

On the hillside in the northeast, the enemy's firepower is extremely fierce and machine guns are dense. In contrast, on the hillside in the southwest, the enemy's firepower is very sparse, and there are even sporadic rifles sounds, and the number of machine guns is sparse.

Therefore, charging towards the southwest hillside is their best choice, and you will first occupy the commanding heights!

Balanov guessed correctly. On the southwest hillside, there are areas where Iranian infantry battalions are arranged near Ghazwin. Compared with the German infantry division, the equipment of the Iranian army is worse.

In fact, since 1936, the equipment in the Iranian army has almost all German weapons. However, the advanced weapons imported by Germany were almost all armed to the two infantry divisions stationed in Tehran first. It was very bad if it was the other troops' turn.

For example, in the current 36th Infantry Battalion, their main weapon is still the Mauser rifle, and each squad is assigned a zb-26 light machine gun. This kind of light machine gun has a small magazine capacity. Although it is called a machine gun, it is fired most of the time, and it does not have excellent continuous firepower like the German light machine guns.

Therefore, when both hillsides were fired, their firepower density was significantly smaller.

Battalion Commander Mohammed, holding a zb-26 light machine gun, opened fire intermittently.

He aimed and shot, a Soviet cavalry fell off the horse, but more Soviet cavalry continued to rush up!

"Note that the Soviets are coming up, prepare for grenades!" Muhammad shouted.

They had long thought of this when they were setting up positions. Once the battle began, they were easily taken care of by the enemy.

So, how can they guard the place? That is to use a large number of grenades!

The firepower density is far behind that of the German army, but there are a whole box of grenades around them!

Last night, when setting up the position here, everyone's shoulders were ground and bleeding. They carried heavy grenades to the top of the mountain, and each of them carried them three or four times!

Now, use grenades to greet the Soviets!

Relying on his spirit of not fearing death, the Soviet cavalry rushed up towards the defense line of the 36th Infantry Battalion. When they rushed to the hillside, the horses finally couldn't climb anymore. They jumped off the horse's back and continued to run upwards!

As long as you occupy the high ground here, you will be invincible. At that time, it will be easy to say whether to fight or retreat!

Colonel Balanov looked at the Soviet army on the hillside. Although one person was rolling and falling, there were more people who climbed up fearlessly and they would definitely rush up!

As they got closer, the cavalry in the front had even climbed to a hillside less than fifty meters away from their positions. Behind him, the black cavalry, at least a few hundred people, were rushing up, and they could break the formation immediately with one move.

At this moment, suddenly, a Persian sounded from the opposite side.

With this sound, they suddenly felt that the sky in front seemed to become dark. When they looked up, they saw that it seemed as if a large group of crows were flying over, black smoked things blocking the sky.

Grenade!

It was very pleasant to throw grenades from a high place. Now, the machine gunners on the top of the mountain were still firing, but the soldiers using the Mauser rifle all put down their rifles, took out grenades from the grenade box beside them, and kept throwing them out.

Turn the safety cover at the tail to reveal the leads inside. Then, hold the grenade in one hand and pull the leads in the other. This German m24 wooden handle grenade is an offensive grenade with a full load of medicine. At the same time, generally speaking, it is good to be thrown fifty meters away.

However, now they have an advantage because they are condescending!

The tail of the grenade was smoking, and a recruit was a little nervous. He just pulled the lead and threw it out without delaying for two seconds!

This throw was only forty meters away, and it just landed at the feet of the Soviet soldier in the front.

The veteran was experienced and just climbed up, he kept jumping left and right to avoid the shooting of the zb-26 light machine gun. Now, when he found a grenade under his feet, he was also unambiguous. He bent down and picked up the long-handled grenade.

His hands leaned back and stood in the most standard posture.

At this time, the recruit had just held the second grenade in his hand when he saw the Soviet soldiers below and threw the grenade he had just thrown out back!
Chapter completed!
