The decisive battle against the Third Reich

If you have a cold, let the soldier rest for a few days. It depends on how much I can write these days, but there will be at least two chapters.

"But we must reinforce Kazbek Peak!" Freko said.

"How many troops do you have there?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Two battalions!" Major General Frecco replied: "One is a German mountain battalion, and the other is a Romanian battalion!"

Colonel Slain and Qin Chuan couldn't help but look at each other after hearing this. Two battalions were fighting against one enemy division, and one of the two battalions was a Romanian battalion.

"You know..." Freco explained: "We don't have enough troops. There is only one regiment to defend the entire eastern section. I think the mountain pass is more important, so I deployed two battalions and a Romanian battalion here!"

Of course, this cannot be blamed on Freco. Not to mention that there are only so many troops. "It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice." Freco has nothing to do. What's more, according to the theory that offense is greater than defense, the defenders always need more troops, and the attacking side can choose the enemy's weaknesses to break through at will.

In other words, no matter how Freko deploys these forces, it will be useless: if the main force is deployed at the mountain pass, the Soviet army will attack Kazbek Peak. If the main force is deployed on Kazbek Peak, the Soviet army will attack the mountain pass with all its strength.

"General!" Colonel Slain said: "The Soviets have a division and have captured the main peak of Mount Kazbek. They even occupied one of our warehouses where a few tons of supplies have just been transported. How many reinforcements do you think we need to go up? How about blocking them? "

Major General Frecco replied: "We have a regiment, and if you go up with reinforcements to block a division, it won't be a problem. You don't even need a regiment to do it!"

Major General Frecco is right. Everyone in the First Infantry Regiment is equipped with STG44. Not to mention other things, the firepower of a regiment far exceeds that of a Soviet division.

"But we may not be able to do this, General!" Qinchuan said: "As mentioned before, the enemy is likely to use Seagull fighter planes to block the airspace of Kazbek Peak. If we do this, the First Infantry Regiment will It would be meaninglessly shot down in the air..."

At this time, the staff officer handed a telegram to Major General Frecco.

Major General Frecco glanced at it, then frowned and said: "You are right, Major! The Soviets blocked that airspace. In fact, the situation is worse than we imagined... The Soviets sent a large number of Jacques 1 and MiG-3 fighter jets, fighting for air supremacy with real weapons!”

Hearing this, Qin Chuan and Colonel Slaine couldn't help but be stunned. This was rare on the Eastern Front battlefield. But it seems not surprising, because Baku is very important to the Soviet Union, and it is completely worth digging out some of the things at the bottom of the box to compete with Germany for air supremacy.

"Marshal Manstein is urgently transferring more air forces from the Crimea to join the war!" Major General Frecco said: "But... I think this will not be useful to us, because they will not be ready for two days!"

Fighter combat does not just require planes to fly over and be ready to fight immediately. It also requires the configuration of ground crews and the transportation of parts. It is not easy to transfer a large number of fighter planes and prepare them for combat in two days. .

But the question is... can the two battalions on Kazbek Peak last two days? Or it may be that when the fighter jet is ready, there is nothing left to do.

Qin Chuan looked at the map and said, "The Romanian troops are on the second line of defense!"

"Yes!" Major General Frecco replied: "Of course they should be on the second line of defense!"

"It will be easier for us to reinforce the Romanian troops!" Qin Chuan replied.

"Yes!" Colonel Slain said: "Let the German soldiers on the front line attract attention!"

"No problem!" Freco agreed immediately: "But we have to do it as soon as possible, they may not be able to resist for long!"

After a pause, Freco asked again: "How many helicopters do you plan to send for reinforcements?"

Qin Chuan thought for a while and replied: "Six armed helicopters and six transport helicopters!"

"That means there is only one company?" Major General Frecco had an expression of disbelief on his face.

Major General Frecco also knew that one transport plane could only carry 20 people, and six would be 120 people.

"A company can't do much!" Major General Frecco said, "You know they have a division!"

"General!" Qin Chuan said: "The Soviets are probably well prepared, not to mention that the Soviets have occupied high places..."

Colonel Slaine understood after hearing this.

"Yes!" Colonel Slain said: "If the Soviets occupy high ground, they will pose a threat to our helicopters from above and send helicopters up in one go...the consequences will be disastrous!"

Major General Freco thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay! I will contact the Third Battalion immediately and ask them to cooperate with you in landing!"

Major General Frecco has the attitude that having reinforcements is better than having no reinforcements.

They did not participate in the landing in Qinchuan this time. The troops of the Second Battalion performed the mission. The commander of the Second Battalion, Bazel, personally commanded and participated in the rappel reinforcements.

The landing went smoothly. The entire battle began with the German army launching a fierce counterattack against the Soviet air force to temporarily gain air supremacy. At the same time, the German soldiers of the Third Mountain Battalion launched a counterattack against the Soviet army on the ground.

Then the helicopter group flew to Kazbek Peak.

As soon as the armed helicopters came on stage, they cooperated with the Deshan soldiers on the ground to launch an attack on the Soviet army...Machine guns, rocket launchers, etc. went crazy and smashed bullets and rockets on the heads of the Soviet troops.

In fact, this was all to attract the firepower and attention of the Soviet army, and then the transport helicopter rappelled under the guidance of the Romanian soldiers.

Two armed helicopters and two transport helicopters were lost in the entire battle, with 28 casualties... It can also be seen that the Soviet army was prepared for helicopters, especially when it was determined that the Soviet army was equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns, because two of them were armed. The helicopter was shot down by anti-aircraft gunfire.

"Next time reinforcements will be more difficult!" Colonel Slaine said.

"Why don't we choose to rappel at night?" Major General Frecco asked.

"I'm afraid it will be more difficult to rappel at night!" Colonel Slain explained: "First the sound of the propeller will be obvious, then the enemy will fire flares, and then use anti-aircraft machine guns... and our rappelling personnel can't even judge. Where is the ground?"

Colonel Slaine is right, especially on steep highlands. Sometimes if the helicopter moves forward or back, the height of the rope from the ground will differ by more than ten or dozens of meters, and it may even be triggered. Toward the abyss.

"I don't think we should implement any more reinforcements!" Qin Chuan said.

"Major!" Major General Freko objected: "Although I know it is dangerous, we cannot let the Soviet Union occupy Kazbek Peak, because he will directly threaten Baku's rear!"

Major General Frecco is right. The Baku Oilfield is on the right side of Kazbek Peak. You can even see the oil field drilling and refinery on Kazbek Peak.
