Chapter 732: Romanian Army

At 12 o'clock the next night, fifteen direct transport helicopters and six helicopter gunships transferred to land at the Kasa airfield of the Romanian 3rd Army.

The staff at the airport watched the helicopter descend from the sky with a huge air current, and they were only ordered to meet a group of fighters from their allies here, but they didn't expect to be greeted by such a strange plane that they had never seen before.

"What do these planes do?" Someone asked: "Did the Germans use them to blow the cold air away?" ”

The Romanian soldiers couldn't help laughing, but there was one person who didn't: Lieutenant Colonel Adlin, who was in charge of receiving the German soldiers.

Seeing the soldiers around him laughing at the strange planes, Adlin shook his head and said, "Do you know who you're laughing at?" Or laugh at something? In front of you are the warriors of the sandbank, who flew these planes to occupy the sandbar and eventually win! ”

The Romanian soldier was stunned when he heard this.

Sandbank Warrior ...... This is the nickname given by Germany and the client state to the commando led by Qin Chuan.

Originally, Qin Chuan didn't know the name until Werner sprayed it on the fuselage of the helicopter he was on.

Of course, Qin Chuan is not uncommon with this, if they can get a mighty and majestic nickname for every victory, then at this time, they are afraid that it will take a lot of time to memorize these.

The helicopter stopped on the tarmac, and Qin Chuan and Alexander ran to meet a group of Romanian officers and soldiers.

The Romanian army is not good at fighting, but the temper is not small, and the helicopter of the commando team must be "cooperated" with the Romanian officers to transfer here, and it is necessary to negotiate before it can be carried out.

This was due to the insistence that Romanian Prime Minister Antonescu had insisted from beginning to end that the Romanian fighting forces had to be operational as a single unit and under the command of their own officers.

In other words, the Romanian army was independent, they only accepted tasks in principle, and the Germans had no right to intervene in how to complete them.

Hitler had hoped to use the method of "corsetes" for the armies of the client states...... in which the corsets were intertwined, alluding to the alternating deployment of German troops and the troops of the client states.

Obviously, the "corset" type of deployment is more scientific, because the German army can strengthen the defense area and even play a role in teaching the army of the client state how to fight and how to coordinate with the German army.

However, because of the national sensitivities or arguably self-esteem among the allies, the Romanian army strongly opposed this deployment, which eventually became what it is...... The entire flank of Stalingrad was flanked by Romanian, Italian, and Hungarian armies.

Even now, Qin Chuan's commandos have a lot of trouble using the airfield in the Romanian military control zone or passing through the Romanian defense zone.

"Welcome, Colonel!" Lieutenant Colonel Adlin stepped forward to salute Alexander and said, "I am Adlin, a staff officer of the Fifth Artillery Regiment, and I am ordered to cooperate with your work!" ”

Alexander casually asked: "What about your artillery observers?" ”

Because the assault team needed the cooperation of Romanian artillery, Romania needed to send artillery observers to fight alongside the Germans.

"I am, Colonel!" Adlin replied, then showed up a few soldiers behind him, and said, "And them!" ”

Alexander couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect that the Romanian side would send a lieutenant colonel staff officer to serve as an artillery observer for the German army...... This would be an absolute waste if it were placed in the German troops.

But Qin Chuan can understand the Romanian military's approach.

Just as Romania insisted that the troops should be put into operation as a whole, the staff officers of the lieutenant colonels were sent as artillery observers for the sake of a little ...... Dignity.

As long as you are not a fool, you know that the Romanian army is better equipped with the German army to play a better role in the overall combat effectiveness, and the reason why the Romanian army is against it is because they do not want to see the Germans show off their might in front of them, or they can also say that they do not want the Germans to become the teachers or invisible commanders of the Romanians in the end.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is for the sake of face.

Sending a lieutenant colonel staff officer as an artillery observer is also for the sake of face...... The Romanian military feared that an ordinary artillery observer was not good enough and would be taken as a joke by the Germans.

What they did not know was that whoever Romania sent to fight with the Germans in a helicopter would inevitably be "taken as a joke".

"This is Major Flick!" Alexander introduced Lieutenant Colonel Adlin: "I think you should have heard of him!" ”

"Oh, of course!" Adlin hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands with Qin Chuan, and Qin Chuan even felt Adlin's hands trembling because of nervousness.

"Nice to meet you, Major!" "I'm also looking forward to fighting with you! ”

"Really?" Qin Chuan said: "Maybe it's because you don't know what we're going to do!" ”

Adlin couldn't help but cast an inquiring glance at Alexander.

"You don't need to know that much, Lieutenant Colonel!" Alexander replied: "You just need to contact the rear of the artillery and direct them to shoot a few shots in front of the assault team to show them the way!" ”

"Yes, Colonel!" Adlin replied.

Then, after filling up the tank, 21 helicopters took off again and flew into the night sky.

The 21 helicopters have been modified accordingly, among which the transport aircraft has eliminated the two machine guns on the back, added an MG92 machine gun to the hatch, and for this purpose the hatch has been removed altogether, and even a hatch of the same size has been opened on the other side of the hatch...... Needless to say, the advantage of this is that on the one hand, it can shoot at the ground from the plane, and on the other hand, it can shorten the boarding time in stages.

And because the helicopter itself is not fast, this open hatch will not have any effect on the occupants inside, but it is a little cold with the wind blowing so much as winter comes.

The helicopter gunship is equipped with two five-cylinder star-shaped rocket launchers in parallel on both sides of the engine room...... This is not Qin Chuan's invention, but the German army's change of smoke launcher to rocket artillery is just that, and it only needs a slight modification to be installed on a helicopter and put into service.

"Then ......" Adlin asked Qin Chuan loudly in the wind of "whirring", "Can I know which area this mission is to reconnoiter now?" ”

"You think our mission is fire reconnaissance?" Qin Chuan asked rhetorically.

"Isn't it?" Adlin felt that something was wrong.
