In fact, from Hans's perspective, what he said seems to make sense.

The First Infantry Regiment has highland war weapon weapon helicopters... Although the Soviet Seagull slow fighter is also very useful in highland warfare, it is still much worse than helicopters.

Especially in some areas with complex terrain, such as narrow mountain passes, there are tall peaks on both sides of the enemy and us. The troops of both sides of the pass are crowded on both sides of the cliffs. Although the seagull fighter jets are slow, their speed is three to four hundred kilometers per hour. Let them dive and shoot or drop bombs at the passes... Not only can't tell the difference between the enemy and us, but they accidentally even have to catch themselves.

There are no such problems with helicopters.

It can even hover, that is, zero speed, and then move forward slowly with slow speed. There is basically no problem of not responding because the speed is too fast.

On the other hand, both the enemy and us in the mountains must save ammunition... They were exhausted and carried a box of ammunition up the mountain, and they were finished in a few "wag" strokes, and even the most powerful logistics transportation could not be supported.

There is no problem with the helicopter. It ascends to a certain height at the foot of the mountain and goes up the mountain.

So the armed helicopters are machine guns and rocket launchers. On the battlefield of the mountains and snow, there are like local tyrants who spend money like money, but the "gold" here is metal gold.

Therefore, when the Soviet army first began to attack the mountain pass, the First Infantry Regiment could actually send helicopters to repel the Soviet army, and it was easy to repel.

But the First Infantry Regiment did not do this until the two companies of the 100th Regiment could not stand up.

However, Qinchuan has its own truth.

The reason is very simple... Six days ago, the main force of the Soviet army only moved to the mountain pass, which is an altitude of more than 1,000 meters.

Qin Chuan judged that the main force of the Soviet army would definitely not continue to stay at the mountain pass and wait for a breakthrough.

On the one hand, this is because the pass is too narrow and the troops cannot be deployed. On the other hand, as mentioned earlier, the high ground on both sides of the pass will also threaten the traffic of the pass, such as setting up a few mortars to blockade with artillery fire.

If at this time, the German army exposed its strength, that is, to dispatch helicopters... just one stick would shock the Soviet army, and then the Soviet army hurriedly retreated.

It was not difficult for the Soviet army to retreat at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters, so the Soviet army could almost escape unscathed.

But now... in order to launch an attack on the German army as soon as possible, the Soviet army actually rushed day and night with their tenacious perseverance, so that they advanced to an altitude of more than 3,000 meters in these six days.

So there is no need to think about it, it must be a dilemma.

Qin Chuan guessed correctly. When the information reached the Makhachkara Command, Zhukov was stunned on the spot.

"First Infantry Regiment?" Zhukov asked.

"Yes, Comrade Zhukov!" The staff officer replied: "They used helicopters to repel our charge, and the 35th Regiment suffered heavy casualties!"

"Where are our planes?" Zhukov roared: "Why don't you send our planes to kill them?"

"Comrade Zhukov!" replied the consultant: "Our planes are also unable to fly low altitudes in that terrain!"

"I didn't say let them fly low!" Zhukov said: "I just wanted to know why there were no fighters in the air, and they would blow them up when they appeared!"

"Comrade Zhukov!" explained the staff officer: "If... to do this, we must ensure that our army's planes are patrolling over each unit!"

Of course, this is reasonable for the staff officer.

The helicopter appeared for a moment. The Soviet army did not know where it would appear in the next moment. It might be in the middle, western, or somewhere in the eastern section. If the Soviet army wanted to defend thoroughly, that is, to ensure that the helicopter would kill it as soon as it emerged from the valley...then it would have to defend comprehensively.

The theory that attack is greater than defense is actually practical in air combat.

If the Soviet army could do this, the Soviet army might still gain an advantage.

The problem is that the Soviet army cannot do it...

First of all, the Soviet army's fuel was not enough to support such a large-scale normalized patrol. All the Soviet army's supplies were transported from the Caspian Sea by small fishing boats. They were already overwhelmed. If they were forced, they would probably crush the logistics.

Secondly, the Soviet army's air supremacy was only partial air supremacy at a certain level. If it really happened, it was still no match for the German BF and FW fighter jets.

At this time, air supremacy actually formed a sandwich biscuit-style control of ultra-low altitude controlled by helicopters, low altitude controlled by Soviet Seagull fighter jets, and medium and high altitude controlled by Germans.

After all, Zhukov was born as a cavalry and was not very expert in air combat.

However, he quickly understood the truth, and then sat back on his chair and held his forehead.

Vasilevskyrie didn't say anything, because he didn't know what he should say.

Because the Soviet army, which had reached an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, was in a dilemma at this time.

Keep moving forward and launch an attack on the enemy... Not to mention the lethality of the German helicopters to the Soviet army, it can be said to be a tank in the snow-capped mountains of the highlands. Just the transportation capacity of the helicopter will make the Soviet army hopeless to win.

The reason is very simple. Although the Soviet army's strength is several times that of the German army, the German supply is several times that of the Soviet army, and it can even be said to be endless... They can be transported by helicopters.

Retreat, the main force of the Soviet army is already at an altitude of 3,000 meters. There is a saying that "it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down the mountain". This is especially true for snow-capped mountains, because if you accidentally slip and fall to pieces... Can you still retreat like this?

Vasilevsky couldn't help feeling guilty because Zhukov had been worried about the German First Infantry Regiment before, and he made him let go of his guard.

"I'm so stupid, aren't I?" Zhukov said: "How could we not have imagined that helicopters can raft in the mountains? They can hover, can raft in the sandbar, can raft in the Tasques, and of course can raft in the Caucasus..."

After pausing, Zhukov raised his head and looked at Wasielevsky: "So, the Germans planned from the beginning. They set a trap for us to jump, and we were fooled!"

"Order the retreat, Comrade Zhukov!" said Vasilevsky: "We have no other choice. It may be too late to retreat now, otherwise..."

Wasseylevsky said further, tens of thousands of people were frozen to death on the Caucasus Mountains, and the tragic scene of starving to death could not help but come to my mind.
