Chapter 1160: Air Strike (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Luftwaffe 7th Air Group Command, Commander Alfred? Lieutenant General Koller is asking about the transfer of troops.
Originally, the 7th Air Group was stationed in mainland Germany and was responsible for the air defense of the homeland. Now, the situation in the Persian Gulf region of the Middle East is tense, and the Air Force Command has issued an order for the transfer of the 7th Air Group to the Persian Gulf in the Middle East.
"General, the 71st Fighter Wing has departed and is expected to be stationed at the airfield in the Kingdom of Iraq in two days. However, we need enough fuel, bombs, and other spare parts. The ground crew also needs to get there as soon as possible! "said the chief of staff of the 7th aviation group, Major General Goodes.
"Contact the Strategic Air Force and have them send fighter jets and bombers to help us transport personnel and ammunition and spare parts! The navy can also help us transport it, but the navy is too time-consuming! "Alfred? Lieutenant General Coral said.
"This transition was too rushed. However, this is all caused by the Russians. I believe that when the time comes, those pilots will transfer their anger to those Russians. Maj. Gen. Goodes said.
Alfred? Lieutenant General Coral laughed: "There is no way around it. I'm afraid we'll all have to be stationed there to eat sand before this war is over. After defeating the Russian Caucasian Front, we still have to launch an offensive in the Caucasus and even on the territory of Russia. In addition, you have to protect those oil fields, deploy air defense systems, and so on! ”
"Yes! His Majesty the Emperor gave an order, and no one dared to disobey it! Maj. Gen. Goodes said.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. All troops must be transferred to the Persian Gulf in the Middle East within a week. "Alfred? Lieutenant General Coral said.
The 7th Air Group has three fighter wings, a dive bomber wing and a ground attack aircraft wing, totaling 600 combat aircraft. Pilots and reserve pilots, up to a thousand. If you add ground crews, air defense personnel, the entire 7th air complex is more than 10,000 people. Now, so many people have to rely on airlifts to get to the Persian Gulf region in the Middle East, which is undoubtedly a great trouble.
A large number of German planes were transferred to the airfields of the Kingdom of Iraq through airfields in the Balkans and Turkey. After defeating the Caucasian Front, their garrison will be extended to other Middle Eastern countries. Large air defense radars and other air defense weapons will also be delivered to the Middle East to further strengthen Germany's air defense system here and ensure that the enemy cannot threaten the oil wells and oil fields in the Middle East through bombing.
On November 1, the headquarters of the 7th Air Group was transferred to Baghdad. Among the air wings under the 7th Air Group, there is already a fighter wing, and the dive bomber wing and the ground attack aircraft wing have been transferred first. The other two fighter wings will also be transferred later.
At the same time, the Luftwaffe used a large number of transport planes and bombers to transport the ground crews and ammunition needed by the 7th Air Group to Iraq. Moreover, until the arrival of ships by sea, the ammunition of the 7th Air Group had to be consumed by air. Although the cost of this will be very large, there is no way to do it.
The Turks and Iranians are very hard. If the Germans were able to launch an air strike against the Russians, it would be a good thing to relieve their pressure and buy more time for the arrival of German reinforcements.
If the resistance fails, and the Russian army enters southern Iraq and destroys the oil wells, Germany will pay a greater price for it.
The German Navy is now doing its best to help the German Army transport units. The 21st Army and the 22nd Army are already on the way. The speed of the transport ships was increased as much as possible.
The commander of Army Group E of the German Army, General Rundstedt, was the first to move his headquarters to Baghdad.
"General, General Rundstedt is here!" Alfred? Before Lieutenant General Coller's office was cleaned up, Admiral Rundstedt came to visit.
"Please!" Alfred? Lieutenant General Coral said.
Although, both sides belong to different systems, General Rundstedt not only ranks one level higher than him. At the same time, judging from the current regional division, the 7th Air Group is also assigned to Army Group E. Admiral Rundstedt can also be regarded as his immediate boss.
"Your Excellency, Commander, please be seated. I'm sorry for the mess I had here. "Alfred? Lieutenant General Coral said.
"General Coral don't get busy, I know you're just getting started. However, the situation at the front was not good, and the Russians launched an even more fierce attack, and they were about to reach the Zagros Mountains. The Iranians are running out of steam. Therefore, I hope that the 7th air cluster will be able to launch an air strike on the Russian army as soon as possible to reduce the pressure on the Iranians! Admiral Rundstedt said.
"Your Excellency, there is no problem with this. The air strike can begin tomorrow. However, due to the inadequacy of various materials and the need to adapt to the situation here, the intensity of the air strike may not be too strong at the beginning. But I assure you that then the air strikes will be more and more intense. We will do everything in our power to inflict more damage on the Russians! "Alfred? Lieutenant General Coral assured.
Admiral Rundstedt nodded, he also knew that there was no way to do it. However, it is already very good that the 7th Air Cluster can go all out.
Admiral Rundstedt was at the command of the 7th Air Group and did not stay long. Although, the 21st and 22nd armies of the army had not yet arrived. But the preliminary preparation needs to be done well. In this case, when the time comes, when the two armies arrive, they can immediately launch an attack.
At the request of Admiral Rundstedt, the Iraqi and Kuwaiti forces are constructing supply depots on the road leading to the north. In this way, the Germans could advance directly north along the road when they arrived.
On the morning of November 2, the German 7th Air Group dispatched a fighter group, covering a dive bomber group and a ground attack aircraft group, to fly to the front line to attack a part of the 47th Army of the Russian Caucasian Front and reinforce the Iranian army, so that they could hold out longer, delay the Russian army, and buy enough time for the arrival of the German army.
