In addition to the fact that the pilots are more professional, there are two other benefits of airdrop resupply with Heinkel HE111 bombers:

First, the speed of the Heinkel HE111 is twice that of the Junkers transport aircraft, reaching more than 400 kilometers per hour, although this speed is not comparable to the BF fighter, but at least it can be coordinated with it. And the faster it is, the shorter the reaction time left for the Soviet air defense forces on the ground, and the greater the success rate of airdrop supplies.

The other is that the Germans were very groundbreaking in creating a bomb specifically for air dropping...... This kind of bomb is actually made of a layer of iron sheet to make an aerial bomb, which is not filled with explosives but supplies, and has a parachute at the tail.

So these supply bombs can be hung on the bomber like real bombs.

This approach is much more clever than the airdrop of transport aircraft...... After the transport plane is airdropped over the target area, it also needs to open the hatch, and then push the supply crates out of the hatch one by one, as long as the action is slow, the supply crates will be airdropped outside the target area.

With the supply bombs, there is no need for such trouble, and all the operations of the pilot are exactly the same as bombing: reduce the altitude, aim at the target, and drop the bomb...... Leave the rest to God.

As a result, Holm was always restocked, and sometimes the pilots would write all sorts of greetings on the supply bombs:

"To the comrades-in-arms who are holding on to Holm, you are doing well!"

"You are the pride of Germany, salute to you!"

"I hope these supplies can relieve you a little bit of stress, bless you!"

……

Although these greetings did not have any real effect, in that situation, when Holm was besieged by Soviet troops and became an isolated island, they were like a torch to warm the hearts of the German soldiers.

So, Colonel Slein ordered that the canisters be evenly distributed among each battalion, so that each soldier could read the greetings written on them whenever he needed them.

"Captain!" On this day, Qin Chuan was called to the headquarters by Colonel Slane, and then handed over a document and said, "Remember that you captured a major general on the West Bank a few days ago? ”

"Yes!" Qin Chuan nodded.

"His name is Yakov!" Colonel Slane said: "He gave us everything he knew, such as the equipment, troops, and location of the assault 3rd Army. ”

Qin Chuan nodded, he was not surprised at all.

The Soviets were too demanding of officers, and Stalin demanded that no soldier, especially an officer, should become a prisoner of war, otherwise he would be a "traitor to the Fatherland" and an "enemy of the people".

Although this requirement in some ways increased the combat effectiveness of the troops, because the soldiers knew that if they became prisoners of war, they would lose the opportunity to return to the Soviet Union and be spurned by their families, so they would fight until the last moment.

But there are two sides to everything, and the negative impact of this kind of military regulation is that once someone unfortunately becomes a prisoner of war, such as this Major General Yakov, then the first thing he thinks of is ...... If you return to the Soviet Union, you will definitely die.

This is certain, if the soldiers become prisoners of war, there is still a possibility of going back, because the Soviets need a large number of troops, and they will send these soldiers to the battlefield again to use as cannon fodder.

But if a general becomes a prisoner of war...... When he returned to the Soviet Union, he would have to be executed as a model of treason.

As a result, they tend to surrender at short notice and cooperate with the enemy's work.

"But the Colonel!" Qin Chuan said: "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with me!" ”

"No, of course it does!" Colonel Slane said, "Turn to the third page!" ”

Qin Chuan turned the third page and saw the words "legendary sergeant".

Looking at Qin Chuan's surprised gaze, Colonel Slane nodded and said, "Yes, Captain." The Soviets already knew you were here, and they got detailed information about you from the British. You know, the Soviets were allies with the British! ”

"Uh-huh!" Qin Chuan shifted his gaze back to the document.

Colonel Slane got up and poured Qin Chuan a cup of coffee, and then continued: "We know from Yakov that before he was captured, General Pukayev, the commander of the Soviet Assault Third Army, was suspicious...... Holm has been able to hold on to this day because of you. Of course, there are two meanings here, one is that you can boost the morale of the whole of Holm, and the other is that you can always think of a way to repel the Soviet army! ”

"So ......" Qin Chuan said, "Is there any difference in this?" ”

"We can't know anything else!" Colonel Slain said: "Yakov also knows only this, but we think that the Soviets may launch some actions against you!" You know, if that's what they think, and that's true, then they're going to want to get rid of you! ”

"The problem is that they can't do it!" Qin Chuan spread his hands.

"I've reported this to command!" Colonel Slain picked up his coffee: "They suggest get you out of here!" ”

Qin Chuan couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked with a smile: "How to save it?" ”

"We're going to push a clearing in front of the hospital!" Colonel Slane raised his head out the window: "There's going to be a plane landing there and taking you away!" ”

"It's less than 50 meters long!" Qin Chuan said: "No plane can take off here!" ”

"There's a guy who can!" Colonel Slain said, "You know her! ”

"She?" Qin Chuan asked, "Hannah?" ”

Colonel Slane nodded.

"This is ridiculous!" Qin Chuan said: "I refuse such a rescue! ”

"Tell me why!" Colonel Slane asked.

"Because I'm a soldier!" Qin Chuan said: "It's not the object that needs to be rescued!" ”

This reason is enough, if Qin Chuan can escape from this battlefield like this today, then what about the battlefield in the future? Do you avoid it every time? The truth is that no part of this world is a pure land, not even in the rear.

"You have to think about it, Captain!" Colonel Slein said: "If the Soviets succeed in getting rid of you, then it will be a big blow to our morale!" ”

"But the Colonel!" Qin Chuan asked rhetorically: "Could it be that if I leave Holm, it won't be a blow to morale?" ”

Colonel Slane nodded in agreement, and the so-called "rescue operation" itself was very dangerous...... This danger is not only a matter of short take-off and landing, but also a problem of the Soviet army arranging a large number of air defense forces outside Kholm.

So Colonel Slain believed that it might all be Hannah's feelings.
