The decisive battle against the Third Reich

The third group used STG44 to knock down piles of pilots and guards who rushed out. The second group threw time bombs from their backpacks into the plane below or even inside the plane. The whole operation lasted for fifteen minutes, and then The transport planes were lowered one after another to pick up the soldiers.

The helicopter flew towards the sea again, only to hear explosions from the airport behind it, and the entire airport was blown into a sea of ​​flames.

Looking at their "results" behind them, the German soldiers couldn't help but cheer.

"It's so enjoyable!" Werner said: "I guarantee that we will blow up many more planes tonight than the Air Force shot down!"

"So, pilots can all retire!" the baker continued.

"Hey!" the helicopter pilot turned around and responded: "The pilot has retired, will you fly this thing?"

"Sorry, Rose!" the baker replied, "Of course we're not talking about you!"

As he spoke, the German soldiers laughed happily.

On the other side, after Zhukov heard that the airport was attacked, he personally led troops to the airport for reinforcements.

However, they obviously failed to catch up with this "event". The Germans moved too fast. From the time they discovered them to the end of the battle and withdrawal from the battlefield, it only took a total of twenty minutes.

So, when Zhukov rushed to the airport, all he saw was a raging fire at the airport and a row of neatly arranged fighter planes burned into scrap metal in the fire.

Zhukov waved his hand, and the soldiers quickly put away their rifles and joined the fire-fighting team.

But needless to say, not many planes could be saved.

Zhukov grabbed a pilot who was running by and asked: "Where is your commander? Where is Major General Bonlesman?"

"I don't know, sir!" The pilot recognized the marshal standing in front of Zhukov from his military rank, and a flash of fear flashed in his eyes... He was worried that Zhukov would throw him into a punishment camp for escaping. Or shot.

But Zhukov had no time to pay attention to it. He pushed the pilot away and walked to the airport control tower with the guards and several staff officers.

Unexpectedly and at the same time, when Zhukov rushed to the control tower, all he saw was corpses.

As expected, because no one has come to report to Zhukov, this seems to be telling Zhukov that the airport command is finished.

Unexpected, because Zhukov couldn't believe that anyone could break through a fortress-like building like the airport control tower in ten minutes. You must know that it was designed for enemy bombing, and the reinforced concrete on the top was five meters long. thick.

But when Zhukov's military boots stepped on the glass on the ground and made a few crisp sounds, Zhukov understood... The Germans not only attacked from the front, but also attacked from the windows, and the windows were the most unexpected and the most Weak spots.

Walking to the window, Zhukov saw the mess and the bullet holes on the windowsill, and knew that his guess was right.

"Comrade Zhukov!" At this time, a staff officer called from the corner.

Zhukov understood something, walked forward quickly, and then saw the bloody air force commander Major General Bonlesman lying on the ground. He was holding a Tokarev pistol, but after inspection, he found that he Not even a chance to pull the trigger.

In addition, almost all the corpses had their backs to the windows... It was obvious that the Germans first used firepower to attract their attention in the direction of the stairs, and then suddenly launched an attack from the windows, that is, their backs.

"Damn fascist!" Zhukov punched the desk hard.

"Comrade Zhukov!" the signal soldier shouted: "Moscow call!"

Zhukov hurried over and hesitated before standing up to take the call, with a few drops of sweat on his forehead.

"The airport was attacked?" Stalin asked on the other end of the phone.

"Yes, Comrade Si Dalou!"

"How much is the loss?"

Although Zhukov didn't want to say it, he still had to report it truthfully: "Almost all, Comrade Stalin!"

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and after a while, Stalin said: "Change the strategic goal, station garrison on the Caucasus Mountains, and keep the Germans out of the Transcaucasus!"

"Yes, Comrade Stalin!" Zhukov replied.

Stalin was right. It is basically impossible to continue the attack when the air superiority is completely lost. If the attack continues, the mountain divisions that attack the Caucasus Mountains will be completely annihilated.

Therefore, the only way now is to stay in place and confront the German army in a stalemate on the Caucasus Mountains. Although Baku cannot be recaptured in this way, at least the Caucasus Mountains can be used to block the German army from threatening the flanks of the Soviet Don River defense line.

However, even so, the Soviet army will freeze and starve to death in the Caucasus Mountains in large numbers due to insufficient supplies.

"Do you know why we are always attacked by the Germans without being able to do anything about it?" Stalin asked.

"Helicopter, Comrade Stalin!" Zhukov replied.

"Yes!" Stalin said: "This is a terrible weapon. Although its attack power and defense power are not strong, they can bring the enemy almost anywhere. So the battle does not always happen in the same place as before. We are on the front line, and any point in our rear...the headquarters, ammunition depots, airports, etc., may become targets of attack by the Germans. All these important places need to be defended, so there are loopholes everywhere!"

"Yes, Comrade Stalin!" Zhukov nodded in agreement, which was exactly what he thought.

To guard against everything means to guard against nothing. As long as the Germans have accurate intelligence, they can quickly attack and then retreat in one blow, while the Soviets... don't know when the Germans will suddenly appear in front of them, so they have to guard against everything. My nerves are on alert 24 hours a day.

"You have to find a way to deal with this tactic!" Stalin said: "Otherwise we will be very passive in future battles!"

"Yes, Comrade Stalin!" Zhukov put down the phone and couldn't help but make up his mind.

Although he didn't know how to deal with helicopter tactics... This kind of special operations using helicopters as a means of transportation does not have a good response even in modern times, let alone this era.

But since Stalin will let Zhukov find a way to deal with it, this means that Stalin has not lost trust in him.

However, this seems to be normal, because Stalin himself understood the dangers of this tactic and the difficulties of defense, so there was no reason to put all the blame on Zhukov.

To put it simply, in the final analysis, Stalin had a certain understanding of strategy and tactics, otherwise things would not have developed like this.
