Chapter 762 Supply Station

"Our opportunity is here!" Zhukov pointed to the Kazbegi Peak in the east and said, "The terrain in the east is relatively gentle and there are fewer peaks, right?"

"Yes!" said Vasilevsky: "Comrade Zhukov, are you planning to use this area as the main attack direction?"

"Yes!" Zhukov replied: "The terrain is relatively flat and there are no deep trenches and dangerous ravines, which means it is difficult for the helicopter to hide at low altitudes!"

"Although this is the case, it is also not conducive to our Seagull fighter jets!" said Vasilevsky.

"You forgot that we have Jacques 1 and MiG3?"

"But they need to protect the airport..."

"We can use one hundred to protect the airport and another hundred to fight the Germans!"

So Vasilevsky said nothing.

This seems to be a feasible solution, although Jacques 1 and MiG3 are still not as good as German fighter jets... This is not only because of the performance of the fighter jets, but also because the quality of Soviet pilots is generally not as good as that of German pilots.

However, it is still possible to use Jacques 1 and MiG3 to drag the German fighter jets, and then use a large number of Seagull fighters to deal with the helicopters, so this seemingly dead game of chess was played alive again.

"But Comrade Zhukov!" Huasilevsky said hesitantly: "If we cannot successfully break through the enemy's defense..."

Needless to say, the Soviet army at that time was afraid that there would be no chance of retreat.

"We have no other choice!" Zhukov replied.

After pausing, Zhukov added: "In addition, we also need to airdrop anti-aircraft machine guns, at least each battalion needs to be equipped with one!"

"Yes, Comrade Zhukov!" Huasilevsky agreed. Although equipping anti-aircraft machine guns may actually weaken the combat effectiveness... because the troops must free up many people to carry anti-aircraft machine guns and the ammunition it needs, it is still better than having no resistance in front of a helicopter.

Zhukov had a lot of fun in the discussion behind, but Qin Chuan never stopped on the battlefield.

Qin Chuan knew that this was the best time to beat the dog in the water. After a while, the Soviet army might be equipped with heavy weapons because it realized the experience of the helicopter, so the helicopter could not be so unscrupulous.

Therefore, in the past few days, the First Infantry Regiment has almost been dispatched. The entire First Infantry Regiment has 35 transport helicopters and 16 armed helicopters. Almost after taking off and fighting, it returned to replenish fuel and ammunition, and then flew into the sky to launch a new attack on the Soviet army.

One of the most important things is that it has captured two supply stations of the Soviet army...

The German army has been reconnaissance of the Soviet army, mainly reconnaissance aircraft. Although there are few scouts, the survival rate of sending scouts is too low without using helicopters. For example, if you are lying in the ice and snow and observe the enemy without collecting any useful information, you will be frozen to death.

The easiest thing to observe among these is the supply station.

In fact, the location of the supply station can be observed from the radar... The German army used helicopters to air transport two radar stations in the western, middle and east sections of the Caucasus.

These radar stations soon observed that a large number of planes flew back and forth to the same several locations every day without the Germans being attacked.

From this, the radar soldiers speculated that it was the transport plane that the Soviet army was responsible for airdropping.

I sent a reconnaissance plane to reconnaissance, and found that the materials dropped downwards were taken, and photos were taken from the air... I could clearly see traces of the materials being transported on the snow.

It is said that the Soviets are relatively careless, which shows that such an important supply station was exposed to the enemy.

So needless to say, of course helicopters were sent to attack.

This sneak attack was carried out under the cover of the German Air Force, after all, it was on the backscene surface and was the control range of the enemy aircraft.

The Luftwaffe's air supremacy was nothing to say. After sending twenty fighter jets into the relevant airspace, and after shooting down more than a dozen Soviet fighter jets and a group of transport aircraft that were preparing to drop, they reported that the airspace was safe.

Then the helicopter crossed the Caucasus and headed straight for the Soviet supply station.

The soldiers stationed at the Supply Station were not prepared at all. Many of them didn't even hold rifles in their hands... Their mission was to collect airdropped materials, and they would have a little more weight on their backs. What's more, they thought it was the rear, and carrying rifles was completely unnecessary.

Therefore, when the German soldiers of the First Infantry Regiment rushed to them, they could only raise their hands.

There were two supply stations in front and behind. According to the Soviet prisoners, each of them stored dozens of tons of supplies... Those were the results of their work for more than ten days, but they only heard a loud "boom" sound, and all of them disappeared.

The war was very exciting, especially the First Infantry Regiment was also equipped with small walkie-talkies. It is not an exaggeration to describe the word "like an arm instructor" every time.

But the helicopter troops also suffered losses...three transport helicopters and two armed helicopters.

The losses of transport helicopters are usually when hovering ropes are landing, which is always an irreparable defect. Fortunately, the crew only suffered more than ten casualties.

Armed helicopters are because they fly into a lower position to fight... The peaks are always high and low. When the armed helicopter attacks the supply station, they must be at a low position, and their armor is below.

So, the Soviet army located on the mountain peak hit a few bullets from a high place, easily penetrated the upper armor and shot it down.

This also attracted a lesson for Qin Chuan, unless it is particularly necessary, try not to choose a target with a low offensive trend.

"Why didn't the Soviets retreat?" Colonel Slein asked in confusion: "They should have known that victory does not belong to them!"

"The Soviets never realized this!" Major General Freco said: "They only know how to charge and die before us!"

"I don't think it's so simple, General!" said Colonel Slain.

"I think so too!" Qin Chuan agreed: "Because this is the Caucasus, if the Soviets had no other way to continue like this, then we would not need to do anything at all. The coldness of the Caucasus and the lack of food will leave them here forever!"

"So what's their solution?" Major General Freco took the steamy coffee handed over by the staff officer, and couldn't wait to take a sip.

Since helicopters improved transportation, coffee has not been a luxury for the 1st mountain master.
