The decisive battle against the Third Reich

Regarding the chapters about the airborne troops, many readers thought it was cheating or cheating... But in fact, this battle was written based on real combat cases, and there was no cheating at all. Not only was there no cheating, I also tried every means to make the Soviet Union's This battle looks a bit more normal. In other words, the actual performance of the Soviet airborne troops was even worse. This airborne battle was the battle of the Dnieper River. Some readers have already figured it out... The numbers of the Soviet airborne troops and radio malfunctions, etc. in the article They are all true. The airborne landing time has been slightly changed. I dare not write about other mistakes made by the Soviet paratroopers in this battle, otherwise it will be regarded as "cheating".

As the Soviet troops withdrew from the Caucasus, other parts of the 11th Army, such as the infantry division and Roman subunits that had not crossed the strait on the Kerch Peninsula, entered the Transcaucasus.

At this time, the Romanian army played an unexpected role... Romania is an oil-producing country. There are many soldiers in their army who know the oil industry, and some of them were even oil workers before joining the army.

So needless to say, let the Romanian troops take over the management of the Baku oil fields. Hitler even brokered with Romanian General Antonescu to urgently mobilize some technical personnel from Romania to fly to Baku from the other side of the Black Sea to start the restoration of the refinery. production work.

(Note: At this time, General Antonescu held the real power in Romania, and King Michael I did not have much real power)

The other is the defense of the Transcaucasus region.

There is no big problem in this regard. The reason is that there is a natural barrier of the Caucasus Mountains, and there are even supplies and fortifications left by Soviet soldiers on the Caucasus Mountains. It only requires the 1st Mountain Division to be stationed to defend a road that is more than a thousand kilometers long. line of defense.

The biggest problem here is the problem of supply transportation... Supplying to high mountains and ridges has always been the most troublesome problem, because there are no roads and almost relies on manpower, so there will be a situation where half of the bag of food is eaten up. .

Manstein handed over this problem to two newly transferred Romanian mountain divisions, namely the 1st and 4th Romanian Mountain Divisions.

The gaps on both sides of the Caucasus Mountains are garrisoned by German infantry divisions. Among them, the side near the Caspian Sea, which is Baku, is more threatening, and the 22nd Armored Division is also arranged here.

Then there are arsenals that need to resume production, food processing plants, and public security, etc.

Many of these problems were handled by Manstein and his staff... Although Manstein also had a headache about these, who made him the marshal.

In this regard, it is still necessary to arrange the police officers into the troops to follow the occupation like the United States. When the troops advance, the police officers will start to restore the economy and transportation of the occupied areas. This measure is still necessary.

The security forces in the German army are somewhat similar, except that Qin Chuan has seen what these security forces do in Holm. It may be possible to let them maintain security, because the people will be obedient to their hands, but they have to When it comes to restoring the economy, transportation, order, etc., it cannot be compared with the American model of sending professionals to serve as peace officers.

Qin Chuan didn't need to worry about any of this. All Qin Chuan and the First Infantry Regiment had to do was take a quick bath in the Caspian Sea, and then drink the "vodka" and food captured from the Soviets at the beach.

"Wow!" Werner shook his head after taking a sip of wine: "God, I still don't understand why these Bolsheviks like this kind of wine. They cruelly deprived me of the pleasure of enjoying the spoils of war!"

Germans are still used to drinking wine and the like.

"If you eat some of this black bread..." Alfredo tore off a small piece of black bread in his hand and put it in his mouth painfully, chewing it carefully while saying with a disgusted expression: "Then you will I think it’s much better!”

Werner didn't seem to believe this evil. He took a bite of the black bread and spit it out on the spot.

"What is it made of?" Werner said. "I can't believe the Soviets ate this!"

"I asked the same question!" the baker replied: "Buckwheat hulls, wheat kernels, wheat bran, rice bran, grass seeds and fine mineral powder are also mixed..."

"Grass seeds and fine mineral powder?" Werner looked at the baker in disbelief: "Forget the grass seeds, why do you need to add fine mineral powder? Are these Soviets machines that can digest ore?"

"They say it makes you full faster, which means you won't get hungry so quickly!" the baker replied.

"God!" Werner couldn't help complaining.

Qin Chuan has also tasted this kind of black bread. It does have a strange taste and is so hard that it is difficult to eat.

but……

"Just be content!" Qin Chuan said, "You must know that a loaf of black bread like this is their daily ration for a class. Werner, the piece you just spit out is almost a meal!"

Werner couldn't help but be stunned.

"This is what war is like!" Eberhard said: "We just haven't been here long enough. Think about the people who froze and starved to death when attacking Moscow. If you are in that state, Do you still find this kind of bread unpalatable?”

The soldiers became silent after hearing this, and then each of them took some black bread and put it in their mouths to chew.

Most of these German soldiers have not experienced hard times. To be precise, they have not experienced the same hard times as Soviet soldiers on the Eastern Front, so some cannot imagine the conditions under which they fought.

Suddenly, Qin Chuan felt pity for those Soviet soldiers.

"Hey!" At this moment, an excited shout came from behind.

Qin Chuan turned around, and the first thing he saw was Conrad. A familiar woman beside him was waving in Qin Chuan's direction.

The next second Qin Chuan recognized her, it was Hannah!

When Qin Chuan realized this, he jumped up from the ground like a spring, picked up Hannah and spun her around a few times regardless of everyone's eyes.

"Major!" Conrad said, "I remind you that I think you should be gentler!"

"Why?" Qin Chuan asked.

Conrad tilted his neck, and then Qin Chuan saw the injuries on Hannah's face.

"What's wrong with you?" Qin Chuan asked.

"No, it's nothing!" Hannah smiled: "You know, this is my job!"

"Oh!" Qin Chuan quickly understood: "Were you injured during the test flight?"

"Yes!" Hannah nodded: "But it doesn't matter, I've almost recovered!"

"Which aircraft is it?" Qin Chuan asked.

The reason why Qin Chuan asked this was because a plane that could hurt Hannah was definitely not an ordinary plane.

"Is it still V1?" Qin Chuan turned his eyes to Conrad.

"No!" Conrad shook his head.

"I can't tell you!" Hannah said, "Don't worry about me, everything is fine!"

"No, I know that's not the case!" Qin Chuan said, "Because it's luck to survive any test flight accident!"

There is no doubt about this.

"I can tell you!" Conrad said: "Although the major is far from meeting the confidentiality requirements, the major is not an outsider, isn't he?"

After a pause, Conrad said: "It's just that even if I tell you... you don't know what it is."

Then Conrad lowered his voice and said: "The Me163 that Hannah is testing is flying!"
