Regarding these chapters of the Airborne Forces, many readers think that this is a golden finger or a hanging...... But in fact, this battle was written based on real combat examples, and it was not open at all, not only did it not, but I also did everything possible to make this Soviet operation look more normal, in other words, the performance of the Soviet Airborne Forces in actual combat was even more unbearable, and this airborne operation was the battle on the Dnieper, which has already been seen by readers...... The Soviet airborne troops in the article and the radio malfunction are all true, the airborne time has been slightly changed, and the Soviet airborne troops have other mistakes in this battle, I don't dare to write, otherwise it will be regarded as "hanging".

**********

With the withdrawal of Soviet troops from the Caucasus, other parts of the 11th Army, such as the infantry divisions and Roman units that had not crossed the strait on the Kerch Peninsula, entered Transcaucasia.

At this time, the Romanian troops played a surprising role...... Romania is an oil-producing country, and their army includes many soldiers who know much about the oil industry, and some of them were oil workers before they joined the army.

Needless to say, Romanian troops took over the management of the Baku oil fields, and even Hitler mediated with the Romanian general Antonescu to urgently transfer some technicians from Romania from the Black Sea to Baku to start the refinery's resumption of production.

(Note: At this time, it was General Antonescu who held real power in Romania, and King Mihai I did not have much real power)

The other is the defense of Transcaucasia.

There is no big problem in this regard, because there is a natural barrier in the Caucasus Mountains, and even the Caucasus Mountains have supplies and fortifications left by Soviet soldiers, and only the 1st Mountain Division needs to be stationed to hold a line of defense more than 1,000 kilometers long.

The biggest problem is the supply and transportation problem...... Supplies to the mountains and mountains have always been the most troublesome problem, because there are no roads and almost rely on manpower, so there will be a situation where half a bag of food will be eaten by transporting it.

Manstein gave the question to two newly transferred Romanian mountain divisions, namely the 1st and 4th Romanian mountain divisions.

The gaps on both sides of the Caucasus Mountains were garrisoned by German infantry divisions, of which the Caspian side was more threatening, that is, Baku, where the 22nd Panzer Division was also located.

Then there are the arsenals that need to resume production, as well as food processing factories and law and order, and so on.

Many of these issues were dealt with by Manstein and his staff...... Although Manstein also had a headache for these, who made him a marshal.

In this respect, it is still necessary to arrange for the sheriff to be assigned to the army to follow the occupation as is the case in the United States, and the sheriff will work behind the troops to restore the economy and transportation in the occupied area.

The security forces in the German army are somewhat similar, except that Qin Chuan has already seen what these security forces are doing in Holm, and it may be possible to let them be vigilant, because the people will obey them in their hands, but if you want to restore the economy, transportation, order, etc., it cannot be compared with the model of sending professionals to be sheriffs in the United States.

There is no need for Qin Chuan to worry about this, what Qin Chuan and the first regiment have to do is to take a good bath in the Caspian Sea, and then drink the "vodka" and food captured from the Soviets by the sea.

"Wow!" Werner took a sip of the wine and shook his head: "God, I don't understand why these Bolsheviks like this wine, they cruelly deprive me of the pleasure of enjoying the spoils of war!" ”

Germans are still used to drinking wine and the like.

"If you eat a little of these black bread...... Alfredo tore off a small slice of black bread in his hand and put it in his mouth in pain, chewing it carefully with a look of disgust, "then you will feel much better!" ”

Werner didn't seem to believe in this, took the black bread and took a bite of it, and then spit it out on the spot.

"What is it made of?" Werner said: "I can't believe that the Soviets eat this!" ”

"I asked the same question!" The baker replied, "Buckwheat husks, kernels, wheat bran, rice bran, grass seeds and fine mineral powder......

"Grass seeds and fine mineral powder?" Werner looked at the baker in disbelief: "Forget the grass seeds, why do you need to mix fine stone mineral powder?" Could it be that these Soviets were machines that could digest ore? ”

"They say it's going to fill you up faster, which means you're not hungry so quickly!" The baker replied.

"God!" Werner couldn't help but grumble.

Qin Chuan had also tasted this kind of black bread, and it did have a strange taste and was so hard that it was difficult to eat.

But......

"Be content!" Qin Chuan said: "You must know that such a piece of black bread is their daily ration for a class. Werner, the piece you just vomited out is almost a meal! ”

Werner's face was dumbfounded.

"War is like that!" Eberhard said: "Just because we haven't been on this battlefield long enough, think of the people who froze and starved to death during the attack on Moscow, if you were in that state, would you still hate this kind of bread that was unpalatable?" ”

The soldiers were silent when they listened, and then one by one they divided a little black bread and put it in their mouths and chewed it.

Most of these German soldiers had not experienced a hard life, to be precise, they had not experienced the same hard times as the Soviet soldiers on the Eastern Front, so it is impossible to imagine what kind of conditions they fought in.

Suddenly, Qin Chuan felt a little sorry for those Soviet soldiers.

"Hey!" At this moment, an excited shout came from behind.

Qin Chuan turned his head, and the first thing he saw was Conrad, a familiar woman beside him who was waving her hand in the direction of Qin Chuan.

In the next second, Qin Chuan recognized her, it was Hannah!

When Qin Chuan realized this, he jumped up from the ground like a spring, and picked Hannah up and spun around a few times regardless of everyone's eyes.

"Major!" Conrad said, "I remind, I think you should be lighter!" ”

"Why?" Qin Chuan asked.

Conrad tilted his neck, and then Qin Chuan saw Hannah with a wound on his face.

"What's wrong with you?" Qin Chuan asked.

"No, nothing!" Hannah laughed, "You know, it's my job!" ”

"Oh!" Qin Chuan quickly understood: "Injured during the test flight? ”

"Yes!" Hannah nodded: "But it's okay, it's almost recovered!" ”

"Which plane is it?" Qin Chuan asked.

The reason why Qin Chuan asked this was because the plane that could injure Hannah was definitely not an ordinary plane.

"Is it still V1?" Qin Chuan turned his gaze to Conrad.

"No!" Conrad shook his head.

"I can't tell you!" Hannah said, "Don't worry about me, everything is fine!" ”

"No, I know that's not the case!" Qin Chuan said: "Because it is luck to survive any test flight accident!" ”

There is no doubt about that.

"I can tell you!" Conrad said: "Although the major is far from meeting the secrecy requirement, the major is not an outsider, is he?" ”

After a pause, Conrad said, "Only, even if I tell you...... You don't know what it is. ”

Then Conrad lowered his voice and said, "Hannah is testing the Me163!" ”
