With supply points and supply depots, the problem of supply in the event of an offensive of the Soviet army was basically solved.

Zhukov used one mountain division, the 22nd Mountain Division, to attack the Western Caucasus, one mountain division, the 39th Mountain Division, to attack the Central Caucasus, the two main mountain divisions, the 9th and 20th Mountain Divisions, which had mostly had experience in mountain operations and had retreated from the Transcaucasian Front, to attack the Eastern Caucasus, and the 242nd Mountain Division to serve as reserves.

In fact, the meaning of being used as a reserve is almost like a logistics team for transporting supplies...... The reserve is used to respond to special situations, and in the battle in the Caucasus Mountains, even if there is a special situation and emergency on the mountain, the troops remaining at the bottom of the mountain or in the rear are basically not able to help.

Zhukov's idea was that the first strategic goal of the western and central Caucasus was to harass and contain them, and the second strategic goal was to capture ...... Although the Germans were called three mountain divisions, only one German 1st Mountain Division could function, and the other two Romanian mountain divisions were only used as convoys.

In other words, the Soviet army faced Germany with one mountain division and one regiment in the western and central sections.

The eastern section is even more of a must-take for Zhukov...... As long as the eastern Caucasus is controlled, it can condescendingly blockade and even encircle the German troops stationed in the Baku oil fields, which is the key to seizing the oil fields in Baku.

However, even if you can't win in the eastern section, you can win in the middle of the western section...... Soviet infantry was also able to outflank the Germans from the rear through the Caucasus Mountains.

The Germans immediately became nervous, and the headquarters of the 1st Mountain Division was filled with the sound of radios, telephones, and staff officers walking around busily.

"The Soviets have reached the eastern section of the pass this afternoon!" Major General Freko pointed to the map and said, "They have a regiment of troops, and we have only two companies of troops stationed there!" ”

This was determined by the lack of German troops, a mountain regiment was stationed in the entire eastern section of the Caucasus, a few people on this highland and a few people on that highland, which were quickly used up, and in some places even had to fill up the Romanian mountain division because it was unmanned.

"They're asking for reinforcements!" Saying that, Major General Freko set his eyes on Qin Chuan.

This is where the trouble lies in mountain warfare, especially in extreme cold conditions...... Reinforcements are not so easy to do, from one hill to another, it may seem close, but it is impossible to walk over the mountains and mountains in a few days.

And at that time, Yamaguchi was only afraid that it had already been lost.

But there is one unit that is an exception, and that is the First Rank Corps.

"We can wait a little longer!" Qin Chuan said.

"Wait?" Major General Freko asked suspiciously, "Major, are you just watching my soldiers being surrounded?" ”

"Now is not the time, General!" Qin Chuan replied: "The mountain pass is a dangerous place, not to mention that we still have fortifications and the enemy has nothing, although there is a big difference between the strength of the enemy and us, it is not a problem to hold it for a few days!" ”

"This regiment is most likely just the vanguard of the Soviets!" Major General Freko said: "They will have more to come!" ”

"That's exactly what I wanted, General!" Qin Chuan replied: "I hope that more of their troops will go up the mountain!" ”

At this time, the sound of a helicopter came from outside the fortifications, and the two looked out in unison...... Helicopters brought in a new batch of supplies, and a dozen more people were requisitioned.

Qin Chuan didn't know who those were until they walked into the fortifications and found that it was Colonel Slein and his headquarters.

Colonel Slein first saluted Major General Freko: "General, the commander of the 1st Infantry Regiment, Slein, reports to you!" ”

Then Colonel Slein turned to Qin Chuan and said, "Major, since it is certain that the Soviet army will attack the Caucasus Mountains, Marshal Manstein ordered us to temporarily be assigned to the command of the 1st Mountain Division!" ”

Major General Freko set his eyes on Qin Chuan, who raised his eyebrows helplessly and stepped forward to ask, "What is your order, General?" ”

"What happened?" Colonel Slane looked at the atmosphere a little strange, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"Nothing, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "I have a somewhat different opinion from the general!" ”

"General!" Colonel Slane said: "I advise you to consider the opinion of the major more!" ”

"You haven't even listened to what we're arguing about!" Major General Freko was a little annoyed.

"I'm sorry, General!" Colonel Slane said, "I should have done it, but ...... Judging from past experience, it seems that this is not necessary. Because in the end you will always find out that you are wrong. I was just...... Omit the intermediate process. ”

Major General Freko smiled bitterly: "Well, I now know why Major General Stryk is willing to throw you to me!" ”

Colonel Slane and Qin Chuan were stunned for a moment, and then several people laughed in unison.

Most people who fight on the front line know that although the two forces that work together are competitive, it is more important that they are people on the same ship...... One wins, one loses.

Therefore, as long as they are smart, they will put down their rank, face, or whatever else is possible, and use the most practical, best, or most trustworthy solution possible.

Because they all understand that this is a matter of the whole army and even their own lives, and nothing could be more important than that.

Major General Freko was a smart man, as was Colonel Slain, so they were able to command the two forces in close coordination.

After a pause, Colonel Slein told Qin Chuan the good news: "The new batch of helicopters has arrived at Fort Kinov two hours ago, and the maintenance department has conducted a preliminary inspection of them, and they are in good condition and ready to go into battle!" ”

"How many helicopters do we have available now?" Major General Freko was clearly more interested in this issue.

"I was about to report to you, General!" Colonel Slain tried to open the file bag, only to find that the leather waterproof file bag was frozen and could not be opened.

Colonel Slain tried several times without success, and couldn't help but curse: "This damn weather ......"

"You should do it!" Major General Freko took the kerosene lamp and baked it at the junction with a flame for a while before returning the bag to Colonel Slain.

This time it worked, and Colonel Slane shook his head and said, "Looks like I'll have to prepare a kerosene lamp too!" ”

"Of course!" Major General Freko took the document and flipped through it as he said, "But you have to be careful, if you don't get it right, the bag will be set on fire!" ”

"Oh God!" Colonel Slain, who was taking off his hat, said, "My hair is frozen with my hat!" ”

Qin Chuan immediately handed over the kerosene lamp: "Colonel, your kerosene lamp!" ”
