The Kazbek Peak is 2,107 meters above sea level, which is indeed much higher than a thousand meters above sea level than the mountain pass, and it is more difficult to walk on mountain roads and cannot allow cars and tanks to pass like a mountain pass.

But being able to pass is much better than being trapped in the Caucasus Mountains. Moreover, the Soviet Union will follow the infantry along this road pioneered by the Sushan Division and encircle Baku... This will divide the Baku oil field from the Transcaucasus industrial zone, cutting off the ammunition and even food supply of the Baku oil field.

Of course this was not allowed by the German army, but the German army seemed to have no choice at this time.

"General!" Qin Chuan said to Major General Freco: "I don't think that if you don't carry out rescue, it doesn't mean you give up like that!"

"You mean..." Major General Freco looked at Qin Chuan in confusion.

Qin Chuan replied: "We all know that the reason why the Soviets' Jacques 1 and MiG3 were sent to the battlefield until this time was because they needed to protect their airports. Now, since they have sent these fighters, and as the fighters deepen, it may send more and more, which means that their airport protection will become weaker and weaker..."

"Do you want to sneak attack the Soviet airport?" Major General Freco shook his head: "No, Major! Our air force has been entangled by them and cannot get out of it, not to mention that their airport is not unprotected. The radar will find them, and then the air defense forces and fighter jets... These will cause heavy losses to our air force, and the bombing will not cause too much damage to the airport, otherwise they would have done so long ago!"

Qin Chuan had no idea, but just continued to look at Major General Freco.

Major General Freco seemed to understand something, and then said in disbelief: "God, you don't want to sneak attack the airport with a helicopter!"

"You guessed it right, general!" Qin Chuan replied: "The key to the battle of the Kazbek Peak is that the Soviets seized air supremacy or partial air supremacy. In other words, the important thing is the aircraft. If we can blow up their planes, especially the Jacques 1 and MiG-3 fighters, then with the terrain and broad vision of the Kazbek Peak, the Soviet attack will be ruthlessly hit by our air firepower, which means the failure of the Soviets, a complete failure!"

Although this era has not been as much as modern warfare as the air supremacy determines the outcome and the ground forces just go up to clean up the mess, the status of air supremacy is still of great importance.

"Major!" Colonel Slain, who was standing aside, became nervous when he heard this: "But you know, the enemy has radar and air defense forces, and our helicopters are almost vulnerable in front of their air defense fire!"

"Let's take a look at the location of the Soviet airport!" Qin Chuan took the map, pointed to the point next to Makhachkara, and said: "The airport is here, it is only two kilometers away from the sea, and there will be no air defense forces on the sea. At the same time, the Soviet Caspian fleet has been completely injured and killed. If there are warships, they dare not approach Makhachkara!"

Qin Chuan was right. The Caspian Fleet had almost been consumed during the Battle of Stalingrad because it covered the Southeast Front's transportation and supplies across the Volga River.

On the other hand, because the Makhachkara waters are very close to the German Air Force, warships will become targets of the German Air Force if they are close.

"But their radar and reconnaissance opportunities discovered us!" Major General Freco said: "There are also fighter jets patrolling the sea, and the helicopters cannot hide them at all. They will destroy them all before the helicopters arrive at Makhachkara!"

"No!" said Colonel Slain, "If we were flying at night, there would be no such problems!"

"Flying at night?" Major General Freco looked at Colonel Slein in surprise, and then at Qin Chuan.

"Yes!" Qin Chuan nodded: "Flying at night, and flying low altitude!"

If you fly at night, you will certainly not be in danger of being blocked by enemy fighters. At this time, the fighter jets do not have the ability to fight night.

Flying at low altitude can avoid the Soviet radar. Of course, for insurance, the German army also needs to attack the Soviet radar warfare, and even if the Soviet army finds out, they have no choice...

Send a plane to intercept?

As mentioned before, fighter jets do not have the ability to fight at night.

Send warships to intercept?

The Caspian Fleet was in name only, and even if there were warships nearby, they could not catch up with the speed of helicopters.

All the Soviet army could do was provide early warning and give the air defense troops a few minutes of preparation time.

Of course, this is not what Qin Chuan wants to see, because helicopters are too fragile in front of air defense firepower, which will also cause serious casualties to the helicopter formation and even directly bankrupt the plan.

Major General Freco thought for a while, then asked, "Will there be any problem with flying at night?"

Although Major General Freco is not good at flying, he also knows the dangers of night flight, especially flying at sea... Pilots will confuse the sky and the sea surface at sea, and this problem has never been well solved.

However, Qin Chuan and others don’t seem to have to worry too much about this.

Helicopters are different from high-speed fighters. The helicopters are slow and do not have the weightless state of fighter pilots, so helicopter pilots will know clearly that the sea is below is above the sky. At the same time, due to the slow speed, they also have more reaction time, so it is no problem to hover if they really can't.

The difficulty lies in the fact that the helicopter needs to fly at a low altitude, which requires the helicopter pilot to be cautious, because after all, the sea is not far from the foot, and it will still hit the sea if you accidentally.

Major General Freco no longer had any problems after understanding these.

"It's a good idea, Major!" Major General Freco said: "I have no reason to disagree!"

So Major General Freco immediately and Major General Rorenz, the Air Force Commander.

"We don't have to attack the airport radar!" Major General Lorenz said: "On the one hand, it's because they will be repaired soon, you know, Makhachkara is a port, and they will be transported from the sea immediately. On the other hand, the Caucasus Mountains are in the middle so that it cannot function, and it will not have any impact on the battle of the Kazbek!"

Major General Lorenz thought Freco knew nothing about radar, so he had such suggestions.

"No, General Lorenz!" Freco replied: "I know this, but we still need you to bomb the airport radar!"

After a moment of silence, Major General Lorenz said, "Either give me enough reasons or let Marshal Manstein give me orders!"

As he said that, he hung up the phone. The Air Force always has such arrogance.
