The decisive battle against the Third Reich

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night the next day, fifteen direct transport helicopters and six armed helicopters landed at the Kassa Airport of the Romanian 3rd Army.

The staff at the airport all looked like monsters as they watched the helicopter descend from the sky with huge airflow. They only received orders to welcome a group of fighters from allies here, but they did not expect that what they would receive was something they had never seen before. The weirdest airplane I have ever seen.

“What are these planes for?” someone asked, “Do the Germans use them to blow away the cold air?”

The Romanian soldiers couldn't help laughing, but one person didn't laugh. He was Lieutenant Colonel Adelin, who was responsible for receiving these German soldiers.

Seeing the soldiers around him laughing at these weird planes, Adelin shook his head and said, "Do you know who you are laughing at? Or what you are laughing at? Those in front of you are those Sandbank Warriors, and they are flying these The plane captured the sandbar and finally won!"

The Romanian soldiers were stunned when they heard this.

Sandbank Warriors... This is the nickname given by Germany and its slave countries to the commando team led by Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan originally didn't know the name until Werner spray-painted the name on the fuselage of the helicopter he was riding on.

Of course, Qin Chuan did not care about this. If they could get a mighty and majestic nickname every time they won a battle, then they would probably have to spend a lot of time memorizing it at this time.

The helicopter stopped on the apron, and Qin Chuan and Alexander ran towards the approaching group of Romanian officers and soldiers.

The Romanian army is not good at fighting but has a bad temper. For the commando helicopter to transit here, it must have the "cooperation" of the Romanian military officer and requires negotiation before the trip can be made.

This is because Romanian Prime Minister Antonescu insisted from the beginning to the end that Romania's participating troops must be used as a whole and commanded by their own officers.

In other words, the Romanian army is independent. In principle, they only accept tasks. As for how to complete the tasks, the German army has no right to interfere.

Hitler once hoped to use the "corset" method to deploy the armies of the slave countries... "Corsets" are corsets intertwined with each other, which refers to the alternate deployment of German troops and slave country troops.

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 slave country's army how to fight and how to coordinate with the German army.

However, because of the national sensitivities or self-esteem among the allies, the Romanian army strongly opposed this deployment method, and it ended up like this... The entire flank of Stalingrad was placed by the Romanian army and the Italian army. Army, Hungarian Army.

Even now, Qinchuan's commandos are having a lot of trouble using the airport in the Romanian military-controlled area or passing through the Romanian defense zone.

"Welcome, Colonel!" Lieutenant Colonel Adelin stepped forward, saluted Alexander, and said, "I am Adelin, staff officer of the Fifth Artillery Regiment, and I have been ordered to cooperate with your work!"

Alexander asked casually: "Where is your artillery observer?"

Because the commandos needed Romanian artillery to cooperate, Romania needed to send artillery observers to fight with the Germans.

"I am, Colonel!" Adelin replied, then showed a few soldiers behind him and said: "And them!"

Alexander couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect that Romania would send a lieutenant colonel to serve as an artillery observer for the German army... This would be an absolute waste if placed in the German army.

But Qinchuan could understand the Romanian military's approach.

Just like Romania's insistence that the army be put into use as a whole, sending a lieutenant colonel as a staff officer as an artillery observer is all for a little... dignity.

Anyone who is not a fool knows that the alternating deployment of the Romanian army and the German army can better exert the overall combat effectiveness. The reason why the Romanian army opposes it is because they do not want to always see the Germans showing off their power in front of them, or it can be said that they do not want the Germans to become Romania in the end. Human teacher or invisible commander.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it’s just for the sake of face.

Sending a lieutenant colonel as an artillery observer is also for the sake of face... The Romanian military is worried that an ordinary artillery observer who is not good enough will be treated as a joke by the Germans.

What they didn't know was that no matter who Romania sent to fight with the Germans in helicopters, they would inevitably be "treated as a joke."

"This is Major Frick!" Alexander introduced to Lieutenant Colonel Adelin: "I think you should have heard of him!"

"Oh, of course!" Adelin hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands with Qin Chuan. Qin Chuan even felt Adelin's hands shaking due to nervousness.

"Nice to meet you, Major!" Adeline said, "And I'm looking forward to fighting with you!"

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

Adelin couldn't help but cast a questioning look at Alexander.

"You don't need to know that much, Lieutenant Colonel!" Alexander replied: "You only need to contact the artillery rear and instruct them to fire a few shots in front of the commandos to indicate their direction!"

"Yes, Colonel!" Adolin answered.

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

These 21 helicopters have been modified accordingly. The transport aircraft has removed the two machine guns on the back of the aircraft and added an MG92 machine gun at the door. For this purpose, the door was simply removed, and even a door of the same size was opened on the other side of the door... The benefits of doing this are needless to say. On the one hand, you can shoot at the ground from the plane, and on the other hand, it can shorten the boarding time by a large margin.

And because the helicopter's flying speed is not fast, this open door will not have any impact on the crew inside, but it is a bit cold with the coming of winter.

The armed helicopter is equipped with two five-tube star-shaped parallel rocket launchers on both sides of the cabin... This is not Qin Chuan's invention, but the German army changed the smoke launcher to a rocket launcher in this way. It only needs a little modification to be installed on the helicopter and put into use.

"So..." Adelin asked Qin Chuan loudly in the "whooshing" wind: "Can I know which area this mission is to scout now?"

"Do you think our mission this time is fire reconnaissance?" Qin Chuan asked back.

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