Chapter 805 The Lame Frog

Chen Cheng reported to Feng Yuxiang by wired telephone that the French army dispatched fighter jets to implement leapfrog tactics.Soon, the general headquarters notified the news to Tang Shengzhi's army who was on the way.

In the pond full of green leaves, the frogs jumped nimbly on the lotus leaves to prey on the most desirable prey; in the enemy's fortification layer upon layer, the attacking troops went beyond the front line and went straight into the hinterland, seizing the central points one by one.The "combat mechanism" of the two is exactly the same.People vividly call the latter's combat theory that jumps out of the shackles of linear thinking "leapfrog" tactics.This tactic was thought of by the famous American general Nimitz during World War II, and the French carried forward this combat theory after the war.The "leapfrog" tactic during World War II used the navy as a "jump aid" and was mainly used in landing operations.After World War II, with the improvement of air transportation capabilities, the "leapfrog" tactic gradually became the main theory of the French airborne operations.

After Tang Shengzhi received Chen Cheng's signal, he prepared a big pot for the French.As expected, after the French Air Force bombed an airfield, more than 101 French troops from the 200st Air Assault Division leapfrogged behind the Dragon Army under the cover of Spitfires.Due to the complex terrain in Iran, the imperfect airport facilities, the rapid advance of the Dragon Army tank units and infantry, and the backup airport has not been cleared, it is difficult for Chinese fighters to advance to the front of the front in a short time.

The French thought they had mastered the air supremacy and the opportunity of electromagnetic interference, which would inevitably cause confusion in the command of the Dragon Army. They tried to attack the Dragon Army unscrupulously in a one-way and transparent manner.However, the French had just cleared the airfield and the jets had just left. The Chinese soldiers who had escaped the bombing just now appeared in the mountains and forests around the airborne field, quietly waiting for the arrival of the French army.With the humid mountain climate, it is difficult for French fighter planes to find a Chinese army hidden here.

The leapfrog of the French army was unsuccessful this time. About 200 French soldiers who tried to attack the Chinese from behind jumped into the pot that they had prepared for them in a leapfrog!
A few minutes later, six Spitfire fighters appeared in the sky. After circling a few times in the air, these fighters found no danger, and then gradually lowered their altitude to perform a warning mission at low altitude.Subsequently, six French Rafale fighter jets and eight Typhoon fighter jets also flew from the sky not far away, and slowly lowered their altitude towards the airborne field area.

Not long after, the first Spitfire landed on the ground, and heavily armed French special forces jumped out of the cabin one after another. They quickly dispersed and told their teammates with gestures: "The airborne field is safe."

Subsequently, five Typhoon fighters filed in and dropped the French special forces on the airfield.After all the French special forces landed, they spread out in all directions, preparing to welcome the ordinary infantry of the Air Assault Division to land.After confirming safety, eight French transport planes fully loaded with the 101st Air Assault Division began to enter the airfield one by one, and put the French soldiers on the plane on the ground one by one.The French artillery who landed hurriedly unloaded the 105mm light howitzer hoisted under the plane.

When the last French Rafale fighter plane was about to land, a scarlet fire dragon shot out from the bushes on the ground with a "swish". Before the French could understand, a rocket had hit the fighter plane accurately With a loud "boom", the fighter plane immediately turned into a ball of fire and fell to the ground, and the 105mm light howitzer hoisted under the belly was also blown out.

The fighter plane that crashed in the valley exploded into flames, and all 30 French soldiers on board died on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, several fire dragons shot into the air, and rushed towards the Spitfire and Rafale fighters that threatened the ground the most.The unprepared Frenchman was suddenly attacked by a round of fierce individual rockets, and was fired one after another, falling to the ground.The fighter planes that did not crash quickly pulled up and launched cluster fire strikes at several firepower points of the Dragon Army just now.

Suddenly, there was a dazzling white light in the mountain forest, several flares hit the air, and a row of flash bombs were thrown out by the grenade launcher, hitting the French army.Hearing a shrill scream, the French soldiers were suddenly irradiated by the bright light of the flash bomb, and all of them were blinded in an instant.Howling in pain, they covered their stinging eyes one after another, and suddenly lost their ability to resist.

It was as if a pot had exploded in the woods, and the dense bullets fired from all directions knocked the blind Frenchman to the ground.Immediately afterwards, hordes of Dragon Army soldiers rushed out of the woods and quickly approached the French in a fan shape.

Except for the one that was destroyed, the rest of the fighters managed to evade the rocket attack.When the fighter plane turned its nose to launch a counterattack, it found that its soldiers had been surrounded by the Chinese!
Under such circumstances, no foolish pilot would dare to launch an attack. Once fired, the bullets have no eyes. God knows whether the bullets will fall on the Chinese or the French.

The French soldiers who were surrounded were still blind and had no ability to fight back. Soon they all became prisoners of the Dragon Army.

For Western countries, especially for France, which fell in World War II, being a prisoner is not ashamed, and the most important thing is to survive.And they also know that even if it falls into the hands of the Chinese, there will be no danger to their lives, but the death penalty is inevitable, and they have to suffer a little bit. The series of tortures invented by the French to torture Iranian prisoners are very It will soon fall on its own head.

The French fighter pilots watched their comrades become captives of the Chinese, but there was nothing they could do in a hurry, but the Dragon Army was relentless. More than a dozen rockets drew long white smoke and shot towards the French fighters hovering at low altitude. Launched a new round of violent attacks.

Soon, after dropping more than a dozen aircraft wreckage, the remaining four Typhoon fighters had to flee in a hurry dragging the black smoke from the tail.

Next, after winning several more local battles, the Dragon Army crossed the Hrud Mountains and entered the Kavir Plateau in northern Iran. Large-scale troops rushed towards Tehran.

According to the intelligence of the Chinese Security Bureau, the French, Spanish and Iranian armies intend to avoid direct contact with the Dragon Army, let go of the territory, let the Dragon Army enter the entire territory of central Iran, and then launch a full-scale guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines to eliminate the Dragon Army one by one. Vitality!As for the supply of weapons and ammunition, naturally there is no need to worry. Elite troops including French special forces will be used to defend Mount Alborz. into Iran.

The Dragon Army started its ground attack in early October. By October 10, 11 ground troops had arrived outside Tehran, the capital of Iran!

With 20 troops approaching the city, even children knew that Tehran would not be able to hold it.However, Alphonse Juan and Zahedi firmly believe that even if Tehran cannot be defended, the Dragon Army will have to suffer in street fighting.According to the order of the French Ministry of War, Zhu An had already retreated from the Zard Mountain area to the city of Tehran. The French army will guide the Iranian army and deal a heavy blow to the Dragon Army in street fighting.

"Take care of the layout, sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime." Zhu An stood aside decently, commanding Iranian soldiers to "reform" Tehran. This "reform" project is huge. Not only the Iranian army, *** Revolutionary Guards, even Iranian workers, students, herdsmen and women participated in the project.The city was changed beyond recognition. A large city with a population of 200 million and an area of ​​658 square kilometers became a huge reinforced concrete fortress!

The air-raid shelter project in Tehran has not been completed, and those unfinished air-raid shelters have become part of the underground shelter.The underground garages of each building have been reinforced to become bunkers.Barricades, barbed wire and sandbags were densely arranged on the streets.All the buildings have been "reformed". The weak houses were directly pulled down, and the cleared building materials were used to strengthen the strong houses.It is a solid reinforced concrete building, the doors and windows are blocked, and some small holes are dug in the walls to facilitate the passage of soldiers.

The basement, underground garage and the cellars of some residents have been remodeled. In addition, Iran has been actively preparing for war for many years, leaving behind a large number of civil defense projects. There are many underground tunnels in Tehran. The Chinese will blow them up one by one. It is estimated that all the bombs They were all used up, and less than one-tenth of them were fried.

The terrain of the entire Tehran is low in the south and high in the north, and the main force of the Iranian army is deployed in the north. Once it decides to abandon the city, the Iranian army will quickly retreat into the mountains behind the city.

The officer in charge of the urban renovation of the French army, Damon, was directing the Iranian soldiers to be busy. Suddenly, a major officer with a beard shouted: "Hello! Friends from France!"

"Hello! Friends from Iran!" Daemon said.

The bearded man introduced himself generously and said: "My name is Muhammad Vakiri! Please do us a favor from our French friends."

This name is too popular among Arabs. Anyway, there are more people named Muhammad than rice.

"What's the matter?" Daemon asked.

"Look, a machine gun is arranged here, and a machine gun over there forms a crossfire. Is this layout reasonable? Also, arrange an anti-tank side armor mine here, and three anti-aircraft rocket grenadiers there. ,Is this okay?"

Daemon nodded: "Not bad!"

The Iranians did learn a lot from the French. They learned all the tactics of street fighting.In order to deal with the detection of the enemy's radar, the Iranians also adopted a variety of interference methods, which were organically combined with street fighting.In the city, snipers, machine gunners, infantry, anti-aircraft, anti-tank teams plus one of the most important arms: camouflage troops, the organic combination of multiple arms will turn the city into a grave for burying the invaders!
