If you have a cold, let the soldiers rest for a few days. It depends on how much you can write in the next few days, there will be at least two chapters.

"But we must reinforce Kazbek Peak!" Freco said.

"How many troops do you have there?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Two battalions!" Major General Freko replied: "One German mountain battalion, the other Romanian battalion!" ”

Hearing this, Colonel Slein and Qin Chuan couldn't help but look at each other, two battalions against the enemy's division, and one of these two battalions was a Romanian battalion.

"You know...... "we don't have enough troops, we only have one regiment in the whole eastern sector to defend it, and I think the mountain pass is more important, so I have two battalions and a Romanian battalion here!" ”

Of course, you can't blame Freco, not to mention that there are only so many troops, "it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice", and Freko has nothing to do. What's more, according to the theory that the offense is greater than the defense, the defenders always need more troops, and the attacking side can choose the enemy's weak points to break through as they please.

That is, no matter how Freko arranged these forces, it was useless: the main forces were placed in the mountain passes, and the Soviets would attack the Kazbek peak. The main force is deployed at the Kazbek peak, and the Soviet army will attack the mountain pass with all its might.

"General!" Colonel Slein said: "The Soviets have a division, and they have already captured the main peak of Kazbek, and even occupied one of our warehouses that has just transported a few tons of supplies, how many reinforcements do you think will be necessary to stop them?" A regiment? ”

Major General Freko replied: "We have a regiment, and it is not a problem for you to go up and block a division if you reinforce it, and you don't even need a regiment to do it!" ”

Major General Freko is right, the first corps, everyone is equipped with STG44, not to mention the rest, the firepower of a regiment is far more than a division of the Soviet army.

"But we may not be able to do that, General!" Qin Chuan said: "As said before, it is likely that the enemy blocked the airspace of Kazbek Peak with Seagull fighters. If we do that, the first corps will be shot down in the air for no sense......"

At this time, the staff officer handed a telegram to Major General Freko.

Major General Freko glanced at it, then frowned and said, "You're right, Major!" The Soviets blocked that airspace. In fact, it's worse than we think...... The Soviets sent a large number of Yak-1 and MiG-3 fighters to fight for air supremacy with real guns! ”

Hearing this, Qin Chuan and Colonel Slane couldn't help but be stunned, this is rare on the battlefield of the Eastern Front. However, it did not seem surprising, because Baku was important to the Soviet Union, and it was worth it to dig out something at the bottom of the box to compete with Germany for air supremacy.

"Marshal Manstein is urgently transferring more air forces from the Crimea to the war!" Major General Freko said: "But...... I guess it won't work for us because they won't be ready until two days later! ”

Fighter combat is by no means just a plane that can be put into battle immediately after it flies over, it also requires the allocation of ground crew personnel and the transportation of spare parts, and it is not easy to transfer a large number of fighters to the field and prepare for combat in two days.

But here's the problem...... Can two battalions of Kazbek Peak hold out for two days? Or when the fighter is ready, it is no longer powerless.

Qin Chuan looked at the map and said, "The Romanian troops are in the second line of defense!" ”

"Yes!" Major General Freko replied: "Of course they should be in the second line of defense!" ”

"It will be easier for us to reinforce the Romanian troops!" Qin Chuan replied.

"Yes!" Colonel Slein said: "Let the German soldiers on the front line attract attention!" ”

"No problem!" Freco agreed: "But as soon as possible, they may not be able to resist for long!" ”

After a pause, Freko asked again: "How many helicopters are you going to send to reinforce them?" ”

Qin Chuan thought about it and replied, "Six armed helicopters, six transport helicopters!" ”

"So there's only one company?" Major General Freko had an expression of disbelief on his face.

Major General Freko also knew that one transport plane could only carry 20 people, and six would be 120 people.

"One company doesn't do much!" Major General Freko said, "You know, they have a division!" ”

"General!" Qin Chuan said: "The Soviets are likely to come prepared, not to mention that the Soviets have also occupied high places......"

Colonel Slain understood when he heard this.

"Yes!" Colonel Slain said: "The Soviets occupy high ground, and they will condescendingly pose a threat to our helicopters and send them in one go...... The consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Major General Freko thought about it for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay! I'll contact the Third Battalion right away and ask them to cooperate with your landing! ”

Major General Freko has the attitude that it is better to have reinforcements than no reinforcements.

This landing on Qinchuan did not participate, and it was the troops of the second battalion that carried out the task, and the commander of the second battalion, Bazel, personally commanded and participated in the reinforcements.

The landing went relatively smoothly, and the whole battle began with a fierce German counterattack against the Soviet air force to temporarily gain air supremacy, while the German soldiers of the 3rd Mountain Battalion carried out a counteroffensive against the Soviet troops on the ground.

Then the helicopter group flew to Kazbek Peak.

As soon as the helicopter gunship came on the field, it cooperated with the German mountain soldiers on the ground to launch an attack on the Soviet army...... Machine guns, rocket artillery, etc., like crazy, smashed bullets and rockets on the heads of the Soviet troops.

In fact, this was all to attract the firepower and attention of the Soviet army, and then the transport helicopter was guided by the Romanian soldiers.

Two helicopter gunships and two transport helicopters were lost throughout the battle, resulting in 28 casualties...... It can also be seen from this that the Soviet army was on guard against helicopters, especially the fact that the Soviet army was equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns, because two of the helicopter gunships were shot down by anti-aircraft machine guns.

"It's going to be harder for reinforcements next time!" Colonel Slane said.

"Why don't we rappel in the night?" Major General Freko asked.

"I'm afraid it's more difficult to descend at night!" Colonel Slane explained: "First the sound of the propeller will be obvious, then the enemy will fire flares, and then the anti-aircraft machine guns...... And our rappellers can't even tell where the ground is! ”

Colonel Slain was right, especially on the steep terrain, sometimes the helicopter leaned forward and backward a little, and the height of the rope from the ground would be more than ten meters, tens of meters, and it might even be led into the abyss.

"I don't think we should have implemented any more reinforcements!" Qin Chuan said.

"Major!" Major General Freko objected: "Although I know that it is dangerous, we cannot allow the Soviets to occupy Kazbek Peak, because he will directly threaten the rear of Baku!" ”

Major General Freko is right, the Baku oil field is on the right side of the Kazbek peak, and even the drilling and refinery of the oil field can be seen on the Kazbek peak.
