At exactly four o'clock in the morning, the ten "Dragon" helicopters started the engine.

Twenty spirals roared in turn, and then from slow to fast, it quickly turned into a vague disk, and the airport was filled with airflow disturbed by spirals.

"Good luck!" Alexander shook Qin Chuan's hand: "We are waiting for news of your victory!"

"Thank you, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied.

Conrad came up and hugged Qin Chuan, and said, "Major, although I have always disapproved of you doing this, I believe you will do it and give those Bolsheviks good looks!"

Qin Chuan nodded, and then the soldiers who were already ready made a gesture and ordered: "Come on the plane!"

The soldiers lined up in groups of twenty people, carrying guns, boarded the helicopter, closed the cabin door, and then took off in a wedge-shaped manner with the permission of the tower and flew towards Stalingrad.

Qin Chuan looked at the time and mastered it very accurately at 4:11.

Time has been repeatedly calculated to make the helicopter fly to the sandbank before dawn.

This certainly has its positive significance... Helicopters fly in the night to hide their whereabouts and will not be discovered by the Soviets and intercepted them with air defense fire along the way. When they arrive at the sandbar, the helicopter pilots need light to identify the landing point, which also facilitates the commandos to quickly capture and control the sandbar.

Of course, this will lead to a problem: it is difficult for the helicopter to distinguish the road ahead in the night, and the sound of the spiral will also attract the attention of the Soviet army.

But this problem was solved quickly:

"We can use artillery fire to cover up the sound of helicopters!" Qin Chuan said: "At the same time, guide them!"

Conrad nodded and said, "Good idea to let the artillery fire extend forward at the speed of a helicopter. It just requires training of the artillery, otherwise their shells will likely knock the helicopter down!"

As he said that, he turned his attention to Alexander.

Alexander agreed: "No problem, I'll finish it!"

So, when the helicopter took off, the German artillery fire bombed Stalingrad in the distance, and bursts of fire were telling the helicopter where to fly.

This direction is very coincidental. The direction of Mamayevgang... After thinking about it, I finally thought that Mamayevgang is the most suitable as a breakthrough path. This is mainly because there are fewer buildings in this area, so there are less air defense firepower hidden in the buildings.

On the contrary, if you insert into the sandbank from other locations, you may enter the central ferry with dense air defense firepower.

Regarding this interspersed point, Werner couldn't help but say: "Isn't that the defense zone of the 21st Armored Division? When we flew over them, I wonder if those guys would notice us!"

"Come on, Werner!" said the baker: "You'd better hope they didn't notice us!"

"Why?"

"It's very simple!" replied the baker: "No one has seen this helicopter, so they can't tell us the enemy, do you understand?"

Werner couldn't help but say "Oh".

The baker is right, it involves the issues of confidentiality and identification.

These two are actually contradictory:

In order to prevent the plan from being known to the enemy, it must be kept secret from everyone, especially the own troops fighting on the defense line, because they have a high chance of being captured by the enemy and then the news will be transmitted to the enemy.

However, if it is to be able to identify the enemy, we must tell them that the German army has equipped a new type of aircraft. Otherwise, in this era, we will use aircraft models to distinguish them. When we look at the plane, we will never notice the "cross" sign on the cabin, and think it is an enemy aircraft.

"Don't worry!" Qin Chuan said: "We have notified them!"

"How did we inform them?" the baker asked curiously.

"We tell them!" Qin Chuan said: "If you see something strange in the sky... don't be surprised or attack, the sky is always under our control!"

The baker nodded.

Such an order is appropriate. Even if the Soviet army gets this information, it will not get anything. If there is anything different, it is "strange things".

At this moment, Alphredo, who was looking out the window, suddenly shouted to the outside: "Hey, look...what is that?"

The soldiers looked out the window at the same time and saw a huge black shadow standing in the night sky, and a giant gun barrel like a factory chimney was raised in front of them.

"Dora!" the soldiers couldn't help but scream: "It's 'Dora'!"

"I saw it, it's such a big guy!"

I don't know if it was a coincidence, but at this time "Dora" made a loud noise, and a burst of fire and smoke came out of the gun barrel. It was obvious that a shell was fired in the Soviet army just now.

This made the German soldiers on the helicopter cheer and scream.

Qin Chuan was a little ridiculous about this group of cute soldiers. Their performance was not like soldiers who were about to enter a life-and-death battle, but rather like traveling in a helicopter.

But this doesn't seem to be a bad thing, because it allows soldiers to enter the battlefield without any pressure.

Perhaps, the purpose of their performance in this way is to release the pressure.

Amid the soldiers' screams, the helicopter entered Stalingrad, and the artillery fire seemed to extend in front of him. Because the helicopter was moving forward at a high speed and the flames and smoke had a certain delay, the soldiers on the helicopter, including Qin Chuan, felt that they were rushing into the artillery fire, and sometimes they could even feel the air waves coming from the irregular ups and downs of the helicopter.

Qin Chuan couldn't help but complain in his heart... He must tell Alexander when he went back that the artillery fire cover was too close.

However, this seems that the artillery can't be blamed on those artillery soldiers. They fight completely according to their feelings and data. Many of them are M1910 artillery with poor performance seized from the Soviet army, and their accuracy can be said to be incomprehensible.

Finally, the helicopter followed the artillery fire to the Volga River and rushed through Stalingrad.

When you come to the Volga River, you can no longer cover and guide with artillery fire, because the bombardment explodes on the Volga River, which will raise up the water columns that soar into the sky and disperse the water mist and even spray it on the glass in front of the cockpit, further reducing the visibility and increasing the risk of crashes.

What the cover troops could do at this time was to shoot a flare above the sandbank from afar.

The pilot turned around and shouted, "One minute and thirty seconds left!"

"Prepare for surrender!" Qin Chuan ordered loudly.
