Chapter 241 This is not the Husky I know! (Second update!)

Ever since the Soviet army moved south to Persia, Türkiye has been closely following the Soviet army's movements.

Especially after the Soviet army won victory after victory and captured several cities in succession.

After Türkiye learned about this, it felt that if it did not send troops, Persia would be conquered.

So after taking stock of our own weapons and equipment, I thought it was worth a try.

After all, he had the support of Britain and the United States, so he didn't have to be afraid of the Soviet army at all.

You know, the Turkish Air Force has a lot of German fighter planes.

When Türkiye saw German fighter planes suppressing the Soviet army, it felt that it could do it too.

So Turkey secretly assembled a group of fighter jets and imitated the German tactics. At dawn, more than 200 fighter jets from the border formed a huge formation and headed towards the Baku oil fields.

Half an hour later, we arrived in the Caucasus region.

At this moment, we are very close to the Baku oil fields.

The Soviet troops on the ground had not discovered it yet.

The Soviet ground forces mainly responsible for guarding fighter jets were deployed in the north.

I never thought that Türkiye would launch an attack.

"Oh my God, why are there so many planes?" In the early morning, the workers at the Baku oil field were running hurriedly towards their respective factories.

According to the latest plan, they will refine no less than one million barrels of oil this month.

You know, 90% of the aviation kerosene used by the Air Force comes from Baku.

70% of the oil consumed by the army is produced in Baku.

To meet the wartime demand for oil, large numbers of oil workers and equipment were continuously sent to Baku.

Even the original three-shift system was changed directly to a two-shift system.

Many workers even worked three shifts in a row, not sleeping for two days and one night.

The purpose of maintaining production through over-exploitation is to supply the torrent of steel to the front lines.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard they drilled, their oil production still did not reach half of last year's production.

The reason was that their refineries were constantly bombed by the German army.

To this end, a small number of radars were sent to the Caucasus region to provide early warning.

It was because of this that the Turkish fighter jets came to their senses only when they arrived over the Baku oil fields.

"Where are they flying to?" some workers asked in confusion.

"Are these German fighter planes?" Many people recognized that they were German Stuka bombers and a large number of FW190 fighter planes.

This was the condition that the German army agreed to in exchange for Türkiye sending Soviet troops.

The two sides had already begun discussing the issue of arms exports.

The main reason is that they hope Türkiye can remain neutral and not attack Bulgaria.

As a result, during the negotiations, the Soviet army moved south to Persia.

Therefore, the German envoy accelerated the negotiation process and stated that if Turkey sent troops, they could immediately deliver all the promised FW190 fighter jets.

There are 72 FW190 fighter jets, which can be said to be one of the most advanced fighter jets currently.

It was originally a means for Germany to win over Turkey.

Unexpectedly, it has now become a killer weapon for attacking the Soviet army.

More importantly, this batch of fighter jets are directly equipped with 20mm machine guns, saving Turkey a lot of trouble.

Not only that, it was also very considerately equipped with a large number of Stuka bombers.

This is why Türkiye dared to bomb the Baku oil fields.

With the three kingdoms backing him up, no one is as confident as he is.

Because there was no time to change the paint, it was recognized as a German fighter plane by the workers on the ground.

"There seems to be an oil depot in this direction? Damn, are these German fighter planes going to bomb the oil field? Why was there no warning?" Someone came to his senses, rushed to the phone, and called his superiors to report the situation to them.

Fortunately, the speed of telephone transmission is much faster than the speed of airplane flight, otherwise it would be impossible to rely solely on manpower to shout.

I'm afraid the planes have already flown back before the people have arrived.

The person in charge of the Baku oil field who received the news was also confused.

"Haven't you received any news about the German attack?" The officer in charge of the radar looked even more confused.

Their radar showed no sign of any fighter jets entering their airspace.

The ground security personnel didn't see the plane either.

But the problem now is that a large number of German fighter planes appeared over the Baku oil fields.

The defenders of the airport are taking off one after another.

"Now is not the time to assign responsibilities. Order all fighter planes to take off immediately. We must stop the German planes and never allow them to bomb the oil fields." The officer in charge of the Baku Oilfield shouted loudly.

"Yes."

The production capacity has already dropped by half. If it is blown up again, I am afraid the production capacity will be even lower.

Therefore, no problems are allowed in the oil fields.

Soon, Soviet fighter planes responsible for guarding the Baku oil fields took off to meet the enemy.

At the same time, all workers were arranged to take refuge in the nearest air-raid shelter. Not only that, personnel were also arranged to transport the refining equipment.

"This looks like the German FW-190 fighter?" said an I-16 fighter pilot somewhat nervously.

The Yak-9 fighter is still under development at this time, and according to the plan it should be put into mass production by the end of this year or early next year.

Therefore, the Soviet Union’s current fighter jets are mainly I-16 fighter jets.

But this fighter has no chance of winning against the FW190 fighter.

If they could really win, they wouldn't have lost air superiority, right?

Before the coming of winter, the German army had always firmly controlled absolute air superiority.

It was not until the Yak-9 fighter jets were mass-produced that the German army gradually lost its air superiority.

Later, as the German army lost a large number of elite veterans in the winter, it began to decline and suffered a series of defeats.

"I don't know. The gap in strength between our fighter planes and the German ones is still too big. We are no match for the German planes at all. The best way is to retreat after one strike and never circle around with them." The experienced pilot gave the answer.

In fact, the effect of retreating after one strike was not very good, because the German fighter planes were very fast and it was easy to catch up with them and destroy them easily with 20mm machine guns.

But in order to protect the Baku oil fields, they had to go ahead.

"No matter what, we must stop the Germans from bombing the Baku oil fields."

When the German warplanes arrived at the center of the Baku oil field, fifty Soviet I-16 fighters were already on standby.

Soviet fighter planes from other directions are on their way.

Judging from the situation, it's probably too late.

Because the performance of the FW190 fighter is indeed excellent.

"Kill them." The Turkish commander gave an order and all the pilots scattered.

Compared with the tactics of German pilots, the Turkish Air Force obviously had no experience in actual combat and their tactics were very outdated.

If it were the German army, they would never use this tactic.

Not to mention, they had only had this fighter for a few days, had little flying time, and had low proficiency in flying the fighter, so they could only use their experience of flying old fighters to control it.

Even so, the generation gap in weapons is difficult to shorten.

In just ten minutes, five Soviet fighter planes were shot down.

This scene stunned the Soviet pilots. Are these really the German army?
Logically speaking, German pilots would never be so weak.

But the fact is that it took only ten minutes to shoot down five fighter planes.

This immediately boosted the morale of the Soviet pilots.

However, as time went on, and Turkish Air Force pilots began to figure out the performance of this fighter, Soviet casualties continued to increase.

"God, please save me, I don't want to die yet." A Soviet I-16 fighter pilot shouted in fear as he watched the tail wing being hit and black smoke billowing out. However, the radio was full of cries for help, so his cry did not attract much attention.

In the end, they could only watch the fighter plane being shot down.

He also shed blood in the sky along with the fighter plane.

"Damn it, they are not German fighter planes, they are Turkish fighter planes." Finally, an experienced Soviet pilot recognized that these were not German pilots and shouted loudly.

"Damn it, Türkiye actually launched an attack on us?"

"Has Türkiye joined Germany?"

Unfortunately, the radio was filled with cries for help, and no one could hear what the pilot was saying.

After all, staying alive is the most important thing right now.

If you can't win, you can retreat.

But their mission was to prevent the Baku oil fields from being bombed.

If they withdraw now, no good end will be waiting for them.

The lightest punishment was to go to Siberia to dig potatoes.

Then follow a group of people and live a happy life, shouting every day.

Where to dig potatoes?

It would be better to die in battle than to live like this.

As more and more planes were shot down, the Soviet pilots finally collapsed and began to retreat.

The Turkish pilots did not pursue because their mission was to escort and destroy the oil depot equipment on the ground.

In addition, there are the anti-aircraft artillery at the Baku oil fields.

After all, the location of the Baku oil fields is very important, and it is impossible to place all hopes on the Air Force.

There must also be a large number of anti-aircraft weapons on the ground.

Therefore, the mission of the FW190 fighter, in addition to defeating those fighters, is to deal with the ground air defense weapons.

This created a great opportunity for the Stuka bombers responsible for the bombing.

At this time, Stuka bombers and other bombers began to drop bombs at high altitudes. Nearly a thousand aerial bombs turned a large area centered on the Baku oil field into ruins. A large number of buildings were destroyed, as well as a large number of oil refining equipment.

Although the Soviet ground-based air defense firepower was still firing back fiercely, the air defense forces suffered heavy losses in the face of fighter strafing and Stuka dive bombing, and the results of the battle were not as great as expected.

After dropping all the bombs, the Turkish pilots flew away in their fighter planes, leaving the workers at the Baku oil fields in tears.

Because this month’s target will definitely not be achieved.

Production has fallen by at least 20%, if not more.

In particular, the areas where oil was stored were destroyed, leading to huge fires all over the sky.

It is unknown how long it will take to put out the fire.

It can be said that this wave of sneak attacks by Türkiye did cause heavy losses to the Soviet army.

Unless Persia is completely conquered, it will be absolutely impossible for the Soviet army to recover this wave of losses.

The first person to receive the news was the bearded man in Moscow.

"Damn it, damn Turkey, how dare they bomb our oil fields?"

The angry bearded man, but no one dared to provoke him easily.

Even his confidants had to keep their heads down.

"Gather troops and attack Türkiye." The bearded man was furious and the first thing he thought of was revenge.

How could the Soviet army, which never wanted to suffer any loss, swallow such a huge loss in silence?

That's millions of tons of oil lost.

Production had already been falling sharply, and now it has been reduced by several million tons.

Wouldn’t the planned winter counterattack be doomed to fail?

Even if you don't take a bath.

The strength of the counterattack will also be weakened several times.

Intelligence came from the front that the German army was withdrawing troops and newly formed troops from the Western Front to reinforce the Eastern Front, which meant that the German army was strengthening its strength on the Eastern Front.

Without enough oil, the Soviet counterattack this winter would not be very powerful.

The reason why they had to go south at all costs was because the output of the Baku oil field had dropped sharply.

It is less than half of last year's level, a total of more than 10 million tons of oil missing.

There is a huge oil field in Persia now, and if they can take it, they can fill this gap.

You can even get an outlet to the sea.

Their influence will reach across the Indian Ocean.

By then, it will truly be a super power spanning three continents.

Can you give up this piece of fat meat that is right at your fingertips?
I will definitely not give up!

As a result, we just launched the attack and won victory after victory. We have already captured a large area and are only 100 kilometers away from Tehran.

It can be reached in two or three days.

The operation can be said to be very smooth.

result!

Turkey intervened and sent fighter jets to bomb their Baku oil fields.

This made the already poor Soviet army even worse off.

Can this be tolerated?
If I can endure this!
What do the other powers think of him?

Even your own oil depot has been bombed, how can you still endure it?

"Two hundred thousand troops are not enough. We need to continue to increase the troops. We need at least five hundred thousand. I want to completely crush Persia and Turkey." The furious bearded man was desperate.

"Pull 300,000 elite troops from the Far East and send them to the Caucasus immediately. Have them launch an immediate Turkish attack."

Everyone could see that the bearded man was very angry, so no one dared to object.

The most confused person was the German envoy Ribbentrop.

Wasn't he busy for so long just hoping that Turkey would fight the Soviet army?

As a result, the fight in Türkiye was completely different from what he had imagined.

The Baku oil fields were blown up directly.

You know, one of the only targets of the German army on the Eastern Front was the Baku oil fields.

The purpose is to take it for themselves, and then use the oil fields here to strengthen the strength of their own armored forces.

As a result, this wave of bombing by Türkiye caused a lot of loss of production capacity.

Even if we take over this oil field, it is estimated that more than half of it will be scrapped, and even millions of tons of production capacity may be lost in the end.

This is totally useless.

His original purpose in instigating Turkey was to have it dispatch the army and cooperate with the air force to cut off the retreat of the 200,000 Soviet troops.

The results of it?
The other party directly launched an air attack, and all his plans came to nothing.

It can be seen from Pahlavi's expression that he is really excited.

He really didn't expect that Türkiye would take the initiative to come forward and attract fire.

It's incredible.

Could it be that Britain and the United States have made an effort?

If this is true, there is no need to cooperate with the German army.

After all, the risk of cooperating with the German army is too great.

　Just two pictures. I'll post more once I'm done with my chores!
