After more than a month of intense training, a commando with a population of 300 was finally formed.

The reason for three hundred people is that the commando needs one hundred people as the reserve team.

There are also 400 people who serve as the post-replacement force... They can also carry out aircraft landings and can serve as reinforcements for the commando at any time.

Of course, this will have to be with helicopters surviving.

"The situation in our battle in Stalingrad has not made much progress!" Alexander said: "So the general hopes that we can implement the 'October Plan' as soon as possible!"

This is the name Alexander gave to the plan. Originally Conrad wanted to call this plan the "Sandbank Plan" or the "Dragon-style Plan".

To be precise, both of the two plan names that Conrad chose were appropriate, because this plan was to launch an attack on the sandbank with a "dragon" helicopter.

But this does not meet the requirements of military confidentiality... Marine operations are not about writing essays. Writing essays must meet the meaning of the title and obtain an appropriate title. However, military plans are taboos in this, because once the plan name is leaked, enemy intelligence personnel may associate based on the information contained in the plan name and follow the clues to master more information.

In this regard, the plan name Conrad chose is obviously not a good name.

Instead, it was the name given by Alexander... "October Plan".

This makes people think it was a plan that was launched in October, but in fact, this October was an allusion to the Soviet Union... The Soviet Union launched the "great October Socialist Revolution" in October 1917, overthrowing the Bolshevik regime established by the Provisional Government.

Therefore, this "October Plan" can not only express its meaning well but also hide important information about the plan.

Qin Chuan thought about it and asked Conrad: "When will the No. 5 be repaired?"

After all, the newly developed "Dragon" helicopter will cause minor failures from time to time.

Because of this, Conrad even transferred a maintenance team from Berlin, as well as parts and even engines that need to be replaced.

From this we can also know that a raid like this is not just a simple matter of two hundred soldiers on ten helicopters. There are a lot of logistics personnel behind them who ensure their normal work.

Conrad asked his assistant around him, and then replied, "It will take two more days!"

"Then let's take action on the third day!" Qin Chuan said: "Practical training was suspended in the past two days to ensure that all helicopters are in the best condition!"

Qin Chuan's words surprised Alexander a little. He originally thought that it would take at least half a month of training.

"Are they ready?" Alexander asked: "We probably only have one chance!"

Qin Chuan understood what Alexander meant.

There is indeed only one chance for such a raid, because after a sneak attack, the enemy immediately knew that the Germans had this kind of equipment and this new tactic, and then they would make up for their shortcomings based on this tactic.

This is still easy for the Soviet army... Shazhou is not far from the Soviet Southeast Front, and it has not been blocked by the German army at all. The Soviet army can reinforce the sandzhou with confidence.

"Maybe our preparation is not enough!" Qin Chuan replied: "For example, the actual test of the 100-meter cable landing time has been around for about two minutes, and the cooperation between pilots is not very good..."

After all, it is a helicopter rope landing, and the pilot decides where the commando lands. Once the pilot makes any mistakes, it may affect the entire operation. This is not even a decision by the soldiers of the 1st Infantry Regiment.

"But!" Qin Chuan continued: "The Soviets were even less prepared, and we didn't have time to drag on it!"

The weather in Russia has become a little colder in August. If September enters, the minimum temperature will drop to 7 degrees Celsius, and the situation of the German army will worsen.

Although Alexander and others did not know what Qin Chuan meant by "no time", they all agreed that "can't be delayed anymore", because during the stalemate in Stalingrad, there were thousands of casualties every day, and the German army's troops were getting more and more short of strength.

So, a few people nodded and set the time.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

At two o'clock in the morning, all the commando soldiers were woken up from the bed.

Since no information was disclosed in advance, the soldiers thought this was a routine training or exercise.

It was not until everyone "huh" flew to the transition target, which was a base in Zovsk that Qin Chuan told everyone through the walkie-talkie: "We will launch an attack in two and a half hours, with the target being Sandbank No. 1!"

The soldiers in the cabin looked at Qin Chuan in surprise, but soon calmed down again.

"Wow!" said Werner: "The Soviets are going to be unlucky!"

"Yes!" Alphredo continued, "This battle has been stalemate for a long time, let's end it!"

"You guess..." asked the baker: "What expression would the Soviets look like when they saw these helicopters appear above their heads!"

"They will open their mouths in surprise!" Dominic said, "and then I can put the barrel in!"

The soldiers couldn't help laughing.

Qin Chuan knew they were a little nervous, but it was not their fault, because this was the first time after all, and no one had done this before... and helicopters launched a raid on the enemy.

Half an hour later, the helicopter landed at the Zovsk base.

Zovsk was originally an unknown small Soviet village, similar to the village of Wikino. It was not an important place and there were no Soviet people... The people were all transferred to Stalingrad.

This can make the helicopter less eye-catching.

Before this, Alexander had sent people to build the village into a helicopter forward base... It is actually not easy to do this at all. Infantry protection, helicopter maintenance, fuel, and parts preparation are all necessary, as well as ammunition, equipment, etc. used by the commando. Even because he was worried that the Soviet army would attack the base from the air and cooperate with the commando to fight, Alexander was also setting up two air defense regiments, twenty fighter jets and ten "Stuka" bombers in this direction.

Twenty fighter jets are used to alert, seize air supremacy and escort helicopters. The cross "Stuka" bombers are used to assist commandos in attacking the sandbanks.

After landing, Qin Chuan gave a simple lecture and assigned tasks to each unit.

The mechanic did the final inspection of the helicopter.
