The helicopter group landed at the airport of Kinovburg (now known as Zhanjia).

The reason why Kenov Fort was chosen as the base is because it is located directly below the eastern and middle sections of the Caucasus Mountains, not far from the Caucasus Mountains and Baku. Reinforcements can be quickly implemented at the speed of helicopters.

As soon as they got off the helicopter, the soldiers felt a little uncomfortable.

It was early December, and the lowest temperature in the Soviet Union had reached about minus ten degrees Celsius, but it was about ten degrees Celsius. The German soldiers near the base watched the soldiers wearing bulky cotton coats and white camouflage uniforms, and each of them had some strange expressions on their faces.

"Major!" Alexander looked around, and there was no cold look except for the snow that could be seen on the Caucasus Mountains, and said, "I don't think this place seems to be suitable as our training base!"

"Why?" Qin Chuan asked while taking off his disguise.

Alexander spread his hands around and replied: "Our soldiers will adapt to the warm weather here, and they can even jump into the river with their bare butts..."

As they were talking, the German soldiers were already cheering naked and rushing towards the river outside the base.

Alexander couldn't help but roll his eyes: "What am I talking about?"

"I think this is just right!" Qin Chuan replied.

"I heard it right!" Alexander said: "What we are going to do is high ground training..."

Alexander raised his head towards the Caucasus Mountains to the north: "The temperature is extremely low when covered with ice and snow there for many years, and the environment between the two is too big..."

"So we can cultivate our adaptability!" Qin Chuan interrupted Alexander's words: "It's like throwing them from heaven to hell!"

Alexander was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded in agreement.

In fact, if it is just about skills, the First Infantry Regiment, especially Qin Chuan's troops, has already mastered it almost. For example, the straight upgraded rope-surface training is actually taught by the coach of the mountain division. Next, it only needs to add some key points of mountain combat.

Therefore, training should be more about adapting to various environments, and this requires environmental differences.

"So..." Qin Chuan said to Alexander: "Enjoy the life in heaven, we will go to hell again soon!"

As he said that, Qin Chuan took off all of himself and walked towards the river to join the ranks of soldiers.

In Moscow, Zhukov and Vasilevsky were called to Stalin's office again.

Stalin was smoking his pipe "Bao Da" and the office was filled with the smell of tobacco.

After a while, Stalin held the pipe in his hand and asked, "So, is our plan leaking?"

"I think yes, Comrade Stalin!" Zhukov replied: "This is related to the raid launched by the Germans with helicopters and captured our two generals!"

"I'm very confused about this!" said Vasilevsky: "According to our intelligence, Seninovich became a shameful traitor. Sedekov bravely sacrificed his life on the day he was captured. Seninovich did not know what the plan was... "

"But the facts are in front of us!" Zhukov said: "The Germans retreated before we launched an attack. They must have noticed something. Moreover, it is obvious that they have laid many mines in the directions of Sherafimovic and Abuganeterovo, and the traffic damage is the most thorough, which makes our army unable to pursue at all!"

What else Wasseylevsky wanted to say, but Stalin stopped him.

"It makes no sense to discuss these now!" Stalin said: "The German retreat can be said to be a good thing because we have regained a large tract of our own land, which has a certain effect on us in boosting morale. But..."

Stalin put the cigarette butt on the table and kowtowed, poured out the ash inside, grabbed some tobacco and carefully stuffed it into the pipe in the light of the desk lamp, and said, "This inspiration effect is very limited, because they were not our repelling, but they retreated on their own initiative. It is like telling us... Our millions of troops are not enough to protect this country. It is like an unguarded city. The Germans come whenever they want and leave when they want. It is not difficult to imagine that next spring, when the ice and snow melt, the Germans will launch another attack, and then massacre the Soviet military and civilians again, destroy the roads, railways and houses we had just built in winter, and then exit!"

"No, Comrade Stalin!" Zhukov said: "I will not let such a thing happen again!"

"What do you use to guarantee?" Stalin said: "Martyr Timuxin once made a similar guarantee. At that time, the Baku oil field was still in our hands, and we had enough oil to start the machine!"

Temuxingo was the commander who launched the Battle of Kharkov.

But this was not his fault. Stalin seemed to have forgotten that it was his order to launch a counterattack in Kharkov. At that time, many Soviet generals believed that the counterattack was not yet ripe and opposed this counterattack plan.

"We can build a line of defense along the Don River!" Zhukov said: "In this way, we can block the Germans on the west bank of the Don River!"

"I don't know if you noticed it, Comrade Zhukov!" Stalin lit the matches and lit the pipe, took two puffs and continued: "In addition to retreating to the west bank of the Don River, the other direction is to retreat to the Transcaucasus!"

"Of course, Comrade Stalin!"

"And the Transcaucasus is located on the east bank of the Don River!" Stalin said: "That is, the flank of the Don River defense line. This means that if we build the Don River, we will be attacked by the Germans next spring... They don't need to cross the Don River to attack us!"

This is another clever aspect of Qin Chuan's strategic layout.

The Transcaucasus can be said to be a strategic location. If it is occupied, it can use the Caucasus mountains as a natural barrier, retreating, defending, advancing or attacking. Once it walks out of the Transcaucasus and enters the North Caucasus, it will immediately threaten the flanks of the Don River defense line to surround it.

On the other hand, the Soviet army could not build a safer line of defense due to the threat from the flanking German troops... Only rivers could stop the blitzkrieg initiated by the German armored forces, but they could not do this.

"So!" Zhukov said: "While we are building the Don defense line, we also have to compete with them for the Caucasus and even Baku!"

"When?" Stalin asked: "Will wait until next spring? Then the Germans had already launched an attack!"
