Chapter 736: Confirmation (Asking for a Monthly Pass on the Fifth Watch)
Qin Chuan confirmed the ranks of the next two Soviet officers on the helicopter, and they were indeed major generals.
He was worried that he had caught the wrong person, after all, it was not necessarily the division commander who was a major general, so Qin Chuan removed the cloth tape that was stuffed in the mouths of the two Soviet officers when the helicopter "Tutu" returned to the base.
One of the Soviet officers immediately shouted in Russian, and Dominic, who was standing nearby, immediately brought him a rifle butt.
"Hey, Sergeant!" Qin Chuan stopped: "The two live mouths we finally caught!" ”
"I'm sorry, Major!" Dominic replied: "I just wanted to teach him a lesson!" ”
Werner quipped: "I dare say that Dominic is trying to kill people, he must be a Soviet......"
"Ensign!" Qin Chuan stopped Werner from continuing.
This kind of joke can't be messed around, and if there is a Gestapo agent in the middle, then then Minik will be in trouble.
Qin Chuan was also helpless about this, although he trusted his subordinates very much, he was not sure if any of them were secret police...... At this time, the infiltration of the Wehrmacht by the secret police was already widespread, and their infiltration was also very convenient, as long as they signed up for the army.
Of course, this doesn't need Qin Chuan's concern.
Qin Chuan put his gun at another officer who looked at him coldly and asked, "Stepkov?" ”
From his eyes, Qin Chuan knew that he hadn't caught the wrong person, so he was relieved, raised his head and asked Dominic to re-block the mouths of the two.
"Major!" Adlin asked curiously, "How do you know he's the one you're looking for, I mean...... There are two major generals here! ”
"I don't know, Lieutenant Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "I just think that if you can command a division to fight, then you should at least be able to keep yourself calm." I just guessed right! ”
Qin Chuan did guess correctly, the other major general was Stepkov's chief of staff.
In less than twenty minutes, the helicopter landed on the airfield of the Romanian army. Alexander had already received the news of the success of the operation, and he could not suppress his excitement, so he leaned over and grabbed Qin Chuan's hand without waiting for the helicopter to stop, and shouted: "Congratulations, Major, you have once again created a miracle!" ”
As Adlin and several Romanian soldiers stepped off the plane, Alexander also shook hands with them as a gesture of friendship to the Allies.
But Adlin didn't seem to take Alexander's polite words to heart at all, he turned to Qin Chuan and said with an incredulous expression: "Major, I have to thank you, because we learned a lot tonight, but I don't think it's a good thing!" ”
"Why?" Qin Chuan asked.
"Because you make us feel like we can't fight at all!" Adlin replied: "Or so to speak, our army will not fight!" ”
Qin Chuan understood the meaning of Adlin's words, sometimes it is not a good thing to know the truth, because if you don't know the truth...... Then the Romanian army still had the confidence to fight the enemy on the battlefield, and now knew that the gap with the friendly forces was so great that it even thought that its own army would not fight, it would be a blow to morale.
"Forget that, Lieutenant Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "What you saw was only ten minutes, but you don't know how much preparation we have made for these ten minutes!" ”
"Of course, Major!" Adlin shook Qin Chuan's hand and said, "Of course it takes a lot of effort, and our gap is also here!" At all costs...... You are the real soldiers! ”
Saying that, Adlin left with his subordinates, and left as if he was fleeing, like a defeated rooster, and like a frightened bird, looking at Qin Chuan and the others was like looking at a group of murderous devils......
"What's wrong with them?" Alexander asked, confused.
"Nothing!" Qin Chuan shook his head and smiled: "They were shocked by the success of our operation, completely, completely, and unreservedly!" ”
Alexander couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
"This is normal, Major!" Alexander said, "That's why I don't go into battle with you!" ”
The assault team lost two members of the battle and five others were wounded...... The casualty ratio was completely disproportionate, especially since the Soviet army had a grenade battalion that was blown to pieces.
Stalin was also extremely shocked when he heard this information.
"They captured two of our generals?" Stalin asked the staff officers who came to report: "But our offensive has not yet begun, and they have not attacked ......"
"They are by helicopter, Comrade Stalin!" The staff officer replied: "They used it once in the capture of the sandbank, but this time, they not only sent troops, but also took people away?" ”
"Do you mean to say......" Stalin took his pipe: "They flew over our line in helicopters, laid down troops in Nizhny Tasker and routed the guards, captured two generals and then returned by helicopter?" ”
"Yes, Comrade Stalin!"
Stalin could not help but fall silent when he heard this, such tactics were unheard of.
Originally, Stalin thought that he only did not know, but after contacting Britain and the United States, he found that they did not know anything about it.
"It seems ......" said Stalin, holding a telegram of the anti-rout, "this is the new equipment and new tactics of the Germans, and it was first used on our heads!" ”
After a pause, Stalin asked the staff officer: "What do you think about this?" ”
"I think...... We should let the other commands do their defenses! The staff officer replied: "And convey the situation of this attack to the troops, so that they know what they are guarding against!" ”
After thinking about it, Stalin shook his head and said: "No, we can't do this. Because if we do this, we will be demoralized by the defeat at Stalingrad! ”
"However, if the enemy launches a similar attack again......"
"We can only tell them what to guard against, not anything related to this attack, understand?"
"Understood!" The staff officer nodded.
Just as the staff officer was about to leave, Stalin added: "Major General Stykov and Major General Seninovich were not captured, but died heroically, understand?" ”
"Understood, Comrade Stalin!"
After the staff officer left, Stalin looked at the map and gradually fell into deep thought, and then his brow became deeper and deeper.
Stalin realized that if the enemy launched a general offensive like tonight's, the Soviet Red Army's defenses would become full of holes.
Because this kind of attack can directly jump over the defensive line and attack any point in the rear of the Soviet army in a short time, and after reaching the strategic target, it can quickly withdraw.
