The decisive battle against the Third Reich

My child is not feeling well today and the update is late. I'll try my best to update it five times. Please forgive me if I can't update it five times. Soldiers are slow in coding. (Please ask for a monthly ticket again!)

Several artillery shells exploded on the other side of the Volga River. Adelin's task was to ensure that these shells were close enough to the helicopter group to be seen without posing a threat to the helicopters... This job can be said to be very simple, so there is no need to send one at all. The lieutenant colonel, who is considered "experienced" and "excellent in quality" by the Romanian Army, collaborates with the staff.

The helicopter flew over the Volga River at an altitude of 500 meters... The reason why it maintained an altitude of 500 meters was because the Soviet army at this time was almost completely blank in terms of air defense.

This is not to say that the Soviet Union was weak in technology. In fact, the Soviet Union at this time also had its own radar RUS2 radar, which the Soviet Union called "Radio Aircraft Capturer-2". In addition, the Soviet Union also had radar equipment imported from the United Kingdom and the United States. These The position and situation of German fighter planes can be effectively observed.

However, the German army had complete air supremacy on the Eastern Front battlefield. Even if the Soviet army discovered that the German fighter planes were dispatched, they could not intercept them. At most, they could only prepare their own fortifications or air defense forces pointed at by the enemy planes. This was nothing more than a warning on the battlefield. It doesn't make much sense outside of its role.

On the other hand, the Soviet defense line was very long. Especially after the German Army Group South reached Stalingrad, its front line instantly stretched from more than 1,000 kilometers to more than 2,000 kilometers.

With such a long line of defense, it would be unrealistic and unnecessary to use radar monitoring everywhere. It would also be a waste of resources... The Soviet army was short of supplies at this time, and they must use their limited transport capacity as efficiently as possible. Investing in air forces that could not compete with the Germans was considered a waste.

After understanding these situations, the helicopter formations did not need to worry more about the Soviet radar, so there was no need to fly at low altitudes at night and risk hitting the ground and obstacles.

"Major!" Adelin asked Qin Chuan nervously: "After crossing the Volga River, we will reach the enemy's defense line. Do we want to continue to move forward?"

"Of course!" Qin Chuan replied.

Adelin had a look of disbelief on his face, because he thought this was purely a meaningless adventure.

It’s not surprising that he thinks so, because air strikes in this era are generally coordinated with ground attacks, such as reconnaissance aircraft, bomber bombings, etc. At this time, the Romanian army did not launch an attack, so people like Qin Chuan and others Of course, there is no point in breaking into enemy airspace by helicopter.

Perhaps they noticed movement in the air. Several beams of light flashed from the Soviet position and shot into the air to search. Occasionally, a few bullets flew up, and there were several "clang, clang, clang, clang" sounds from the bottom of the cabin.

Adelin hurriedly fell down out of habit, which made the German soldiers burst into laughter.

"My friend!" Alfredo said: "If you are on the ground, it is right to fall down when you hear the gunshots, but in the sky... Do you know what it means to fall down? Your shot area will be other people's. Several times, which means the chance of being hit will increase exponentially!"

"Relax!" Kuhn said: "Those bullets did not penetrate the aircraft body. They were obviously fired by rifles or light machine guns... The Soviets like to do this!"

"Yes!" said the baker: "If they find an airplane, they will put the light machine gun on the shoulders of their comrades and shoot into the air, like this..."

As he spoke, he used the STG44 in his hand as a light machine gun, placed it on Werner's head next to him, and made a "ta da da" sound in his mouth while making a shooting gesture.

"Hey!" Werner protested while holding his helmet: "You made my helmet crooked!"

The soldiers laughed.

Adelin stood up suspiciously, and then asked Qin Chuan: "Major, is this an exercise?"

Seeing how relaxed the soldiers were, Adelin couldn't believe that this was a real battle. His appearance once again made the soldiers laugh.

"You'll know soon!" Qin Chuan replied.

The target village of Nizhny Tusk is only 30 kilometers away from the Soviet defense line. This distance only takes ten minutes for a helicopter with a speed of 200 kilometers per hour.

So not long after, the pilot in front shouted back: "We will reach the 'Rat's Nest' in three minutes!"

"Rat's Den" is the code name for Lower Tusk Village.

"Prepare for battle!" Qin Chuan ordered.

The soldiers immediately put away their smiles and made final checks on their equipment one by one. The cabin, which had been relaxed and cheerful just now, was suddenly filled with a solemn and depressive atmosphere.

At this time, Adelin was sure that this was not a drill. He pulled out the pistol from his waist with a little panic, and asked Qin Chuan with rapid breathing: "Major, what do I need to do?"

"You don't need to do anything, Lieutenant Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "In principle, your mission has been completed. All you have to do is put away your toys to avoid hurting our own people!"

Seeing that Adelin was stunned and didn't react, Qin Chuan added: "I'm serious!"

Qin Chuan was indeed serious. Helicopters often lose their balance when the battle begins. The pistols held by Adelin and others who have not been trained in flight combat are unlikely to hit the enemies on the ground in the helicopter. It is very likely to hit the pilot due to misfire. ...This is a matter of whether 20 people will be able to go back.

Seeing Qin Chuan's commanding eyes, Adelin nodded and put away his pistol, and then ordered the several correspondents he brought to do the same.

"If you are scared!" Qin Chuan raised his head towards the ring at the top: "Hold it tightly, don't let go!"

When Adelin described this operation to the Romanians after returning, he said with emotion:

"I always thought I was a veteran. You know, I have lived in the army for eight years, received good training, and can even be regarded as a leader. This is why I can become a lieutenant colonel.

But...

In front of them, I am like a new soldier.

No, it is not appropriate to describe me as a new soldier. To be more precise, I am like a child, a child who can't talk or walk, and can't do anything. I need them to tell me what to do, and then we do it according to what they say!"

At that time, this made Adelin a little unconvinced.

Because Alin thought it was normal for such a situation to occur. He was an artilleryman who had not received flight training. He believed that if he was on the ground, he would not be worse than these people.

But Adelin soon found out that he was wrong, and he was very wrong.

Because just when he was ready, the helicopter had reached the target, which was the sky above the village of Xiatask.

The commandos launched an attack on the target almost the moment the helicopter hovered.
