Chapter 730 Situation
"How can we do it?" Alexander looked at Qin Chuan in surprise.
"Of course, we are not completely free from Brandenburg troops!" Qin Chuan replied: "We need them to provide information!"
"This is not a problem!" said Alexander. "Brandenburg troops have been providing us with intelligence. But what you said is... It is almost impossible for us to capture a senior Soviet officer, unless we cross the river and fight them, and even this is hard to come by!"
Qin Chuan could understand what Alexander meant. Strictly speaking, what Alexander said was right. It is indeed hard to find a case of capturing senior enemy officers. Unexpectedly, when you want to capture prisoners, you would often send a few generals to the front. For example, when you were fighting in the African desert before, several generals were carried into the German team as you walked.
But if you really want to catch it, it will be harder than climbing to the sky... It is easier to kill the target, but it is almost impossible in this era to capture and bring him back alive as evidence.
Qin Chuan looked around, then glanced at Ambassador Alexander.
Alexander met and immediately took Qin Chuan to a small room next door. This was Alexander's private space, and it could also be said to be a little privilege for Paulus's son.
"First of all, we have to lock in a target!" Qin Chuan said: "This target must be an insider. I mean, he needs to know the offensive plan of the Soviet army!"
"I know this, Major!" said Alexander: "It is not difficult to do this, but we must first know... Usually only officers with higher ranks are insiders, and officers with higher ranks often have many guards. How can we capture them without knowing it and bring them back?"
"Col. You seem to have forgotten that we still have helicopters!"
"God, are you saying you want to use helicopters to capture the prisoners?" Alexander couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard the house.
"Yes!" Qin Chuan spread his hands: "Otherwise, what do you think? There is a river in front of us, and there are large minefields and barbed wires on the other side of the river. After that, there are their trenches, defenders, tanks, artillery... How can we pass through it? The best way is to use an airplane, right?"
"But……"
"I know, colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "The helicopter is fragile. But when the enemy has not discovered us, it is actually not important whether it is fragile or not, isn't it?"
"You mean to operate at night?" Alexander asked.
"Maybe!" Qin Chuan replied: "It depends on the situation, which is what I am talking about!"
"What's the situation?" Alexander continued.
"I have already said that the target must be an insider..." Qin Chuan replied: "Secondly, because the helicopter is fragile, its operation location must be far away from the front line, otherwise we may not have a chance to escape!"
Alexander nodded in agreement. The front line was a dense area of enemy troops. Even if the helicopter could easily overcome various obstacles and then suddenly landed near the target like a divine weapon falling from the sky, he could even capture the target, but when he looked up, he found that the helicopter was destroyed... they could not come back.
"Again!" Qin Chuan continued: "There should be a place suitable for helicopter takeoff and landing near the target!"
Alexander nodded again. He already understood the tactics that Qin Chuan said.
"What you mean..." Alexander took a map casually, took a pen and stroke to represent the Soviet defense line, and then found a location behind the defense line, saying: "For example, in this position, behind the Soviet defense line, a division command or military command, we fly directly over this command with helicopters, and rope down to arrest important officers in the command center, and then take them to the agreed landing point to bring everyone back with helicopters?"
"Yes!" Qin Chuan praised: "You understand very quickly, Colonel!"
"Major!" Alexander's face was a little embarrassed: "I don't think this is a compliment!"
"Sorry, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "I don't mean that!"
Qin Chuan did not mean that, because Qin Chuan felt that it was normal for him to know these things, and it was difficult for Alexander and others to understand this cross-age tactic, but Alexander quickly understood it, which showed that he was not bound by traditional tactics, so Qin Chuan was indeed praising Alexander.
But from Alexander's perspective, as a famous colonel, he still needs to "understand" like a student in front of the major Qin Chuan, so listening to Qin Chuan's words is a bit ironic.
"You don't need to apologize, Major!" Alexander sighed: "I know the gap between myself and you, such as the tactic you mentioned... I originally thought you must be crazy, but after you introduced it step by step, I think it is very likely to succeed. Even this tactic is tailor-made for helicopters!"
"Hmm!" Qin Chuan did not deny it.
"Although we used a similar tactic once on the sandbar..." Alexander continued: "But there is an essential difference between the two: on the sandbar it is just a simple rope landing, and then the helicopter can leave. This time the helicopter has to hover or even land nearby, and then bring people back. This is definitely much more difficult than the rope landing!"
"Of course!" Qin Chuan was a little surprised. Alexander could see so many problems just by imagining, which was quite difficult.
"So the Soviets are still not prepared, right?" Alexander continued: "Their impression of the helicopter may still be on the Soaring Sand, so they may strengthen the air defense of the sandbar, but they would never think that we are going to catch prisoners this time. Wow... I want to see the expression on his face when the prisoners were brought back!"
"Where did we just talk about it?" Alexander suddenly remembered Qin Chuan's topic: "Oh, by the way, is there a fourth point?"
"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "We must be very familiar with the environment of the target location, including the deployment of troops, terrain, the location of the target, etc., and even the enemy's equipment. The reason is that we must clear all threats in the shortest time and bring the target out. It is obviously impossible to do this without accurate information!"
"Totally agree!" Alexander replied: "I'll leave these to me, Major!"
"Don't we need to report to the general?" Qin Chuan asked.
"This is just a small action!" said Alexander: "Maybe we can wait until we succeed before reporting!"
