Chapter 754: Caucasus Mountains
In fact, this kind of hand-held walkie-talkie did exist in World War II, and the producing country is of course the United States, which is not short of money...... Germany, the Soviet Union, and even Britain did not dare to move the idea of a walkie-talkie that could only transmit 1.5 kilometers because of lack of resources, because it would be a huge waste for them: although one was not worth much, if it were to supply an army of 100,000, 200,000 or even millions, it would not be a small amount of money.
Of course, the United States doesn't care about this, so it produces 13 units, the model is BC611, which can be said to be the originator of mobile phones, which looks like the previous "big brother".
It's just that Qin Chuan has made some improvements to it, that is, using wires to connect the microphone and earpiece to the helmet, which basically improves the demand for communication equipment similar to the "rat hunting operation".
Of course, Qin Chuan couldn't just wait...... As the first regiment mastered the tactics of helicopter rappelling, the training soon moved on to the second stage: training into the mountains.
Qin Chuan and others are no strangers to the Caucasus Mountains, and when they attacked the Baku oil fields before, Qin Chuan and others climbed the Caucasus Mountains under the leadership of the Mountain Division.
But the situation is not very different now...... It was summer before, but now it is winter, the Caucasus Mountains have been covered with snow, the temperature and environment have all changed, especially the German soldiers from 10 degrees to minus 20 degrees, from the plains to the mountains.
The helicopter took Qin Chuan and others to fly in the direction of the snow mountain "suddenly", and it took half an hour to arrive at the agreed location...... The headquarters of the 1st Mountain Division, located in the Eastern Caucasus Mountains.
As the helicopter approached, a few red flares were fired on the white snow-capped mountains, and there were faintly people waving red and black military flags on the snowy mountains, so the helicopter knew where to land.
In fact, the helicopter did not land, but carried out a rappelling over the area close to the target...... This was partly due to training needs, but partly due to concerns about avalanches caused by helicopter take-off and landing.
Of course, in addition to the soldiers rope down, piles of supplies were hoisted from the ropes...... These supplies are needed for the training and life of the troops.
When Qin Chuan slid down, he saw an officer wearing a thick cotton cloak greet him and warmly shook Qin Chuan's hand and asked, "Major, do you remember me?" ”
It took Qin Chuan a moment to recognize that it was Major General Freko of the 1st Mountain Division, who was already so thin that his cheekbones protruded high, and his face was dark, and he looked like a different person.
"What's going on, General?" Qin Chuan asked.
Major General Freko shook his head and said, "Let's go back to the fortifications, I don't want to talk outside in such weather!" ”
Qin Chuan led his subordinates to follow Major General Freko forward with a foot deep in the snow and a shallow foot, although the landing point was not far from the fortifications, it seemed that it was only more than two hundred meters away, but the soldiers were still out of breath when they climbed to the fortifications.
"It's only three thousand meters high!" Major General Freko said: "The air is still acceptably thinner, and if you go higher, you will find that it is torture!" ”
The fortifications were left by the Soviets, a converted cave, and the inside was very rudimentary, most of the things were made of wood and stone, and if it weren't for the rifles on the gun racks, it would have looked like a wild man's habit.
"Hey, gentlemen!" The baker opened a supply bag, took out bread from it, and greeted the officers and soldiers in the fortifications: "We have brought you bread, you need ......"
Before the words fell, the officers and men "coaxed" to surround and grab them.
"Now!" Major General Freko said to Qin Chuan, "I can answer your question, Major. Because of the heavy snowfall, we haven't been resupplied for a while! ”
"I'm sorry, General!" Qin Chuan said: "I just learned about this! ”
"No!" Major General Freko said: "You don't need to be sorry, we know this. ”
"You mean to say...... You know helicopters? ”
"Yes, of course!" Major General Freko replied: "They told us about the helicopter and said that this amazing plane could bring us supplies, but we need to wait!" ”
"They can choose to have a helicopter bring in a batch of supplies first!"
"They won't do it!" Rear Admiral Freko said: "This is partly because we can hold on, and partly because they are afraid that this will expose the role of helicopters prematurely." You know, Transcaucasia is full of spies of the Soviets! ”
Qin Chuan couldn't help but nod when he heard this.
This is one of the reasons why the First Infantry Corps did not conduct snow-capped training until this time......
Although the Soviets knew about the presence of helicopters in the German army, they did not realize what role helicopters could play in the Caucasus Mountains.
If the Caucasus had been sent supplies and troops had been sent to the Caucasus from the beginning, the spies in Transcaucasia would have quickly reported what they had seen to the Soviet army...... Helicopter transport can be said to be hidden, because it is flying in the sky and is easy to spot.
As a result, the German security division needed to carry out several large-scale radio raids in the Transcaucasia, especially near the helicopter flight paths.
Qin Chuan handed a piece of bread to Major General Freko, who maintained the demeanor of a general at first, but soon desperately stuffed the bread into his mouth and chewed it heavily.
Rear Admiral Freko asked vaguely while eating, "So, what we just saw was a helicopter, right?" ”
"Yes!"
"It's good to know it's real!"
"You mean ......"
"That's a rumor!" "Some people say helicopters don't exist, and that's just an excuse to trick us into holding on here," Freco said. ”
Qin Chuan nodded in understanding.
At this moment, he seemed to feel the almost isolated state of the 1st Mountain Division stationed in the Caucasus Mountains.
Freko continued: "If you are going to train, I advise you to hurry, because I believe that the Soviets will soon launch an attack on the Caucasus Mountains!" ”
Saying that, Freko shook his head: "It's hard to imagine that they will attack the Caucasus Mountains at this time, they must be crazy!" ”
Qin Chuan felt that the Soviets were not crazy.
Because if you look at it from the perspective of the Soviet army, there will be many advantages to attacking the Caucasus at this time, such as the Soviets are hardy, familiar with the terrain, and so on.
At least, it would be much better than their attack on Baku from the sea.
But Qin Chuan believes that the Soviet army did not take helicopters into account when making this decision.
So, they jumped into the trap set by the Germans.
