Chapter 626 Black Bread
Regarding the chapters of the airborne troops, many readers think that this is a gold finger or a cheat... But in fact, this battle was written based on real battle examples, and there is no cheat at all. Not only did I do anything, I also tried every means to make this Soviet war look more normal. In other words, the actual Soviet airborne troops performed even more unbearable. This airborne combat was a battle in the Dnieper River. Readers have seen it... The number of the Soviet airborne troops in the article and the radio faults are real, and the airborne time has slightly changed. There are other mistakes in the Soviet airborne troops in this battle. I didn't dare to write it, otherwise it would be regarded as a "cheat".
************
As the Soviet army withdrew from the Caucasus, other parts of the 11th Army, such as the infantry divisions and Romanian troops that had not crossed the straits on the Kerch Peninsula, entered the Transcaucasus.
At this time, the Romanian troops played an unexpected role... Romania is an oil producer. There are many soldiers in their army who have an understanding of the oil industry, and some of them were oil workers before joining the army.
So needless to say, Romanian troops took over the management of the Baku oil field. Hitler even mediated with Romanian General Antonescu, and urgently mobilized some technicians from Romania from the other end of the Black Sea to Baku to start the resumption of production at the refinery.
(Note: At this time, General Antonescu was the one who held real power in Romania, and King Mihai I did not have much real power)
The other is the defense of the Transcaucasus region.
There is no big problem in this regard. The reason is that there is a natural barrier of the Caucasus Mountains, and there are even supplies and fortifications left by Soviet soldiers on the Caucasus Mountains. Only if the 1st Mountain Division is stationed, it can defend a defense line of more than 1,000 kilometers.
The biggest problem among them is the problem of supply and transportation... Supply replenishment for the mountains and Junling has always been the most troublesome problem. Because there is no road and almost manpower, it will cause the situation where a bag of food is to be transported up and half a bag of food is to be eaten.
Manstein handed over this problem to two new Romanian mountain divisions, namely Roddie 1st and 4th mountain divisions.
The gaps on both sides of the Caucasus Mountains are stationed by the German infantry division, and the side close to the Caspian Sea, Baku, is more threatening, and the 22nd Armored Division is also arranged here.
Then there are also arsenals that need to resume production, food processing plants and public security, etc.
Many of these problems were handled by Manstein and his staff... Although Manstein was also very troubled by these things, who made him the marshal?
In this regard, it is still necessary to arrange the sheriff into the army and follow the occupation like the United States. The sheriff will start to restore the economy, transportation, etc. of the occupied areas.
The security forces in the German army were somewhat similar to this, but Qin Chuan had seen what these security forces did in Holm. It might be possible to make them public security because the people would obey and post them. However, if we talk about restoring economy, transportation, order, etc., it would be impossible to compare with the American model of sending professionals to become sheriffs.
Qin Chuan didn't need to worry about this. What Qin Chuan and the First Infantry Regiment had to do was take a shower in the Caspian Sea, and then drink the "vodka" and food seized from the Soviets by the sea.
"Wow!" Werner shook his head after taking a sip of the wine: "God, I never understand why these Bolsheviks like this wine. They cruelly deprived me of the pleasure of enjoying the spoils!"
Germans are still used to drinking wine and so on.
"If you eat some of these black bread..." Alphredo tore a small piece of black bread in his hand and put it in his mouth in pain. While chewing carefully, he said with a disgusting expression: "Then you will think it is much better!"
Werner seemed to disbelief of this evil, took the black bread and took it hard, and then vomited it out on the spot.
"What is it made of?" Werner said: "I can't believe that the Soviets eat this!"
"I asked the same question!" The baker replied: "Buckwheat crust, wheat kernel, wheat bran, rice bran, and grass seeds and fine ore powder..."
"Grass seeds and fine ore powder?" Werner looked at the baker in disbelief: "Forget it, why do you still need to mix fine ore powder? Are these Soviets machines able to digest ore?"
"They said that this would make you eat more quickly, which means you don't mean you're hungry so quickly!" the baker replied.
"God!" Werner couldn't help but complain.
Qin Chuan has also tasted this kind of black bread, which does have a strange taste and is so hard that it is difficult to eat.
but……
"You are content!" Qin Chuan said: "You should know that such a piece of black bread is the food for their class for a day. Werner, the piece you spit out just now is almost a meal!"
Werner couldn't help but be stunned.
"This is how the war is!" Eberhard said: "We just haven't been to this battlefield for a long time. Think about the people who froze to death and starve when attacking Moscow. If you are in that state, will you still feel that this bread is unpalatable?"
The soldiers heard nothing, and then they divided a little black bread into their mouths and chewed it.
Most of these German soldiers have not experienced hard days. To be precise, they have not experienced hard days like the Soviet soldiers on the Eastern Front, so some cannot imagine what conditions they fought under.
Suddenly, Qin Chuan felt a little pitiful to the Soviet soldiers.
"Hey!" At this moment, an excited shout came from behind.
Qin Chuan turned around and the first thing he saw was Conrad, a familiar woman beside him, waving in the direction of Qin Chuan.
The next second Qin Chuan recognized her, it was Hannah!
When Qin Chuan realized this, he jumped up from the ground like a spring, and regardless of everyone's eyes, he picked Hannah up and turned around for a few times.
"Major!" said Conrad, "I reminded me, I think you should be gentle!"
"Why?" Qin Chuan asked.
Conrad tilted his neck, and then Qin Chuan saw Hannah with injuries on her face.
"What's wrong with you?" Qin Chuan asked.
"No, nothing!" Hannah smiled, "You know, this is my job!"
"Oh!" Qin Chuan quickly understood: "Are you injured during the test flight?"
"Yes!" Hannah nodded: "But it doesn't matter, it's almost done!"
"What aircraft is it?" Qin Chuan asked.
The reason why Qin Chuan asked this is because the plane that could hurt Hannah was definitely not an ordinary plane.
"Is it still V1?" Qin Chuan turned his gaze to Conrad.
"No!" Conrad shook his head.
"I can't tell you!" Hannah said, "Don't worry about me, everything is fine!"
"No, I know that's not the case!" Qin Chuan said: "Because it's luck to survive any test flight accident!"
This is beyond doubt.
"I can tell you!" Conrad said: "Although the major is far from meeting the confidentiality requirement, the major is not an outsider, isn't it?"
After pausing, Conrad said, "But even if I tell you... you don't know what it is."
