    Chapter 1220 Gumu (Part 2) Of course Peng Hanyi knew that the order given to him by the General Staff was to gather the troops as soon as possible, withdraw to the southern coast area to establish defensive positions, and adopt a defensive posture in the early stages of the war, but the problem is,  With the current morale and fighting spirit of the Royal Iranian Army, if the German army catches up with the retreating Iraqi army too quickly, it will be a big rout. Therefore, before retreating south, a blocking battle must be carried out here in Gum.  , and his idea also received support from Lan Tianwei.  (Niu Wen Novel ~ Read Novel Online) The commander of the Royal Iranian Army was a little hesitant about Peng Hanyi's suggestion to establish a defense line in Gum. Although he did issue an order to assemble the troops going south, he had no idea about the idea of ??on-site defense.  He expressed a different opinion.  "Unless the ASEAN security forces can assist us in our defense and can get the full cooperation of the Chinese Air Force, it will be difficult to hold Gum. Moreover, it must be considered that His Majesty the King wants to move to Abadan Port, and the government must also move  When arriving at the Port of Abadan, the Royal Guards Division is likely to be taken to the new capital by His Majesty the King." Seeing the commander of the Royal Iranian Army hesitate in speaking, Peng Hanyi subconsciously waved his fist and interrupted the allied commander.  words.  "The question now is not whether you can hold it, but whether you are willing to hold it. In my opinion, the morale of your royal army is now at a low point. If we cannot fight a tenacious blocking battle, I will  He believes that when they arrive at the port of Abadan, they will be completely turned into a mob. Perhaps without the German attack, the morale of the royal army will completely collapse and military discipline will be lost. No matter what, they must fight here.  Even if the Chinese Air Force cannot provide effective cover in this blocking battle, you must hold on for at least five days. Gum is your defense zone. You are very familiar with the situation here, and for you, this is a battle to defend your motherland and hometown.  Fight, you have no reason to retreat without firing a shot. You have already lost Tehran and cannot lose Gum. Even if Gum will definitely be lost, the German army must be hit head-on here. Otherwise, the German army will only fight harder.  The stronger you are, the less confident you will be." "Perhaps because of his excessive excitement, Peng Hanyi's words were spoken in one go. The translator almost couldn't keep up. After finally completing the translation, who knew that the Iranian king's army  The commander spread his hands and looked helpless.  "Please forgive me for being cautious. As a royal officer of the Kingdom of Iran, I know very well that this is my motherland, but the problem is that the decision-making power is not actually in my hands, but in the hands of His Majesty the King. In fact, in  Last night, I received an order from His Majesty the King. Unless there is a written order from His Majesty the King, the royal army that has withdrawn to Gum cannot launch large-scale military operations under any circumstances. Preservation of strength is the first priority.  "This is irresponsible behavior. Please tell me the call number of His Majesty the King. I will talk to him personally." Peng Hanyi had no other choice but to place his hope on the king's wisdom.  But unfortunately, the Iranian general refused to tell the Chinese general in front of him the call sign of the King's Train. His excuse was to protect the safety of His Majesty the King. However, in Peng Hanyi's view, the other party was simply timid and he did not dare  Commanding the army to attack the German army in Gum, the so-called king's order only gave him a shield.  When Peng Hanyi was entangled with the commander of the Royal Iranian Army, he heard the roar of jets flying from the southern sky. He looked up and saw four German jets flying from the sky.  Flying from the south, they looked a lot like the four Me262 jet fighters that had just passed over Gum.  At first, Peng Hanyi thought that these four German aircraft had completed tactical reconnaissance or harassment missions, but he soon discovered that his analysis was incorrect, because just after these four German aircraft flew over, in the southern sky  Four more jet fighters appeared, flying faster. Judging from the aerodynamic layout of the aircraft, they looked very much like the "Lightning" made in China.  Although there is a Chinese Air Force advance team stationed in Gum, this force is only a reconnaissance force and is not equipped with jet fighters. Obviously, it cannot be the "Lightning" that took off from Gum Airport.  When Peng Hanyi was guessing, a staff officer rushed to him and reported the latest situation to him.  "Commander, I just received a telegram. The plenary meeting of the Asian League ended at 8:30 in the morning. The meeting passed the motion of the permanent representative of Iraq and decided to forcibly intervene in the situation in Iran. The Chinese air force in Iraq has received orders to cross  It suddenly dawned on Peng Hanyi that the "Lightning" that just flew over to chase the four German jet fighters took off from Iraq. China has an air force base in Baghdad. If the "Lightning"  "If you hang up the auxiliary fuel tank, the flyingGetting to Qum and back to Baghdad is no problem.  Although the Asian League has passed a resolution to forcibly intervene in the situation in Iran, this does not mean that the Asian League ground troops will immediately mobilize large-scale operations into Iran. This still requires the cooperation of Iran, but given the current passive resistance stance of the Shah of Iran  It seems that Peng Hanyi has no confidence in conducting a blocking battle in GUM.  The commander of the Royal Iranian Army is unwilling to cooperate, so Peng Hanyi is the bare commander. Now in Gum City, there are only more than a thousand Asian League ground troops under his direct command, and the Asian League security forces originally stationed along the Aras River  The troops are still blocked in the north. It is difficult to say when they can be transferred to GUM by railway. Even if they can arrive before the German army, there is no guarantee that they will enter the battle immediately. After all, the troops are too thin and they will not be able to defend GUM even if they have air superiority.  .  Are you just waiting for the Shah of Iran to come?  Peng Hanyi thought about it, and he really couldn't find any better way besides sending a telegram to the Asian Alliance Military Joint Meeting to report the critical situation in Gum.  While Peng Hanyi was waiting for a call back from the Asian League Military Joint Meeting, the whistle sounded at the train station and another train entered the station. Soon, Peng Hanyi got the news that the train that had just entered the station was the Shah of Iran.  Reza Khan's special train.  The commander of the Royal Iranian Army hurriedly rushed to the platform to greet him. Peng Hanyi originally thought that the king would also summon him, so that he could take the opportunity to speak to the king. However, he did not expect that the king had no intention of summoning him at all. He had been sitting in the dispatch room.  Here, he couldn't even see the king's face, which made him a little suspicious whether the king was discussing something shady with the commander of the royal army, such as making a separate peace with Germany.  Half an hour later, the commander of the King of Iran's army was still missing and returned to the dispatch room. Peng Hanyi was worried that the King of Iran was planning to run directly from Gum to Abadan. In order to prevent this situation that might lead to the collapse of military morale, Peng Hanyi  Quietly giving orders to several staff officers, soon the switchman at the train station discovered that all the switch rods had been removed and some parts of the switches had been damaged. It would take at least an hour to repair them.  , before that, no train could even think of going south.  Just as Peng Hanyi was leading his staff to wreak havoc everywhere at Gum Railway Station, a special train approached Gum Railway Station from the southeastern branch line. Due to a fault in the switch system, the train had to stop at the train station.  Outside the station, there was no way to enter the station, and the passengers on the bus had no choice but to get off the train and walk forward. They soon walked into GUM Railway Station and found Peng Hanyi.  What surprised Peng Hanyi was that the person who came to him was an acquaintance of his, Zhu Daniu, the veteran and commander of the Chinese special forces. When he arrived in Iran, Peng Hanyi had no idea.  "Commander Zhu, why did you get to Gum?" "I'll tell you this later. Now, you first call a few capable staff officers to come over and help me. There is something I must do immediately." Seeing that Zhu Daniu was a little confused  Peng Hanyi didn't ask much about the mystery. He immediately sent two staff officers to follow the special forces commander. Twenty minutes later, the two staff officers were sent back to Peng Hanyi by Zhu Daniu. Both of them also had a look on their faces.  Mysteriously, I walked up to Peng Hanyi and told him something while biting my ears.  "Commander, we just participated in a palace coup. The old king of Iran was placed under house arrest. The young king is now the new king of Iran." The staff officer's words were a bit confusing, but it probably meant that Peng Hanyi had already  He understood. He speculated that the train that had just entered the station from the southeast railway branch was the special train of the Iranian Crown Prince Pahlavi. Accompanying the Crown Prince to Gum was a capable assault force led by the commander of the Chinese special forces.  Team, they apparently broke into the residence of the old King Reza Khan with lightning speed, and then launched a bloodless palace coup. Without firing a shot, the old King Reza Khan became a prisoner, and then  The crown prince succeeded as the new Shah of Iran, ruling the country, which was struggling with war.  Although the staff did not know the inside story of this palace coup, Peng Hanyi's intuition told him that this coup was quite beneficial to the defense of Gumu. Otherwise, Zhu Daniu would not have personally participated in this incident as a commander.  Palace coup on foreign soil.  Facts have proved that Peng Hanyi's speculation was correct. Just half an hour after the coup, Iran's new king Pahlavi issued a series of new orders, two of which were crucial to the defense of Ghum.  , one order was to remove the former commander of the royal army in Gum and appoint a highly respected old general to take over the command. The other order was that His Majesty the King would personally command the defense of Gum, and hoped that Peng Hanyi would serve as the king's military adviser.  Participated in commanding the defense of Gum.  Hearing the news, Peng Han sighed. In any case, Gum will not surrender without a fight. This may be the venue for a head-on confrontation between the Asian League and Germany.?A battlefield in the true sense, and Peng Hanyi had made psychological preparations for this battle. As for the material preparations, Peng Hanyi did not ignore it. He not only sent a telegram to the Asian League, requesting that Zhou Peng  The country¡¯s ASEAN security forces mobilized and went to GUM for reinforcements, and also recommended that the new Shah of Iran issued a new order. According to this order, Iran¡¯s Permanent Representative to the ASEAN will formally submit a document to the Security Council this afternoon.  According to this application, starting from this afternoon, all armed forces of the Kingdom of Iran will accept the unified command of the Asian Alliance Military Joint Conference.  While the new Shah of Iran was busy issuing personnel appointments and dismissal orders and military orders, Peng Hanyi had already devoted himself to defense work efficiently. Under his command and coordination, all Iranian troops retreating from the north were intercepted in  Gum, and immediately evacuated to all strategic locations around the city to immediately build defensive positions. At the same time, the airport in Gum was also ready to receive the Chinese Air Force combat troops in Iraq.  By the time it got dark that afternoon, Gum¡¯s defense work was basically ready, and the Chinese Air Force¡¯s jet unit in Iraq had also completed its transition, waiting for the Germans to pounce.
