Helicopters do need to rest for a while, because they beat the Soviets upset, making the Soviets frightened when they heard the sound of the helicopter.

But because of this, the Soviet army would be prepared for helicopters.

For example, the previous arrangement of fire cover at high places, and the frequent patrols of Seagull fighter jets have greatly limited the helicopter's activity space.

So, the helicopter suddenly disappeared over the Soviet battlefield, which made the Soviet army feel like it had a punch but nowhere to focus.

However, this does not mean that the helicopters are no longer working. They are still transporting ammunition and supplies to the German army on the other side of the Caucasus Mountains.

When the 9th Soviet Mountain Division, when the first ray of sunlight in the early morning shone on the Kazbegi Peak, the division commander Olegnov slowly emerged from the white snow pile, took out the telescope wrapped in white cloth and only needed two mirror holes to integrate the snow and looked at the peak.

The observations made Olegnov very satisfied. The German troops stationed on the mountain were completely unprepared. They were trembling in the cold wind, and many people even threw away their machine gun positions and squeezed with their comrades, hoping to get the warmth from the sun earlier.

The 9th Mountain Division arrived at Kazbegi Peak around 1 a.m. Zhukov ordered Major General Olegnov to attack immediately, but Olegnov did not do so.

On the one hand, the 9th Mountain Division has been marching day and night for a while, and has only two hours of rest and sleep every day... This is not only to fight with the German army as soon as possible, but also to save food and supplies. Simply put, it is to eat food for a day and work for a day.

Under this high-intensity marching, the officers and soldiers of the 9th Mountain Division were almost exhausted and it was difficult to launch an effective impact on the enemy's positions. So Olegnov decided to let the troops rest for a few hours.

On the other hand, it is too difficult for the troops to launch an attack at night... Last night, the wind and snow were mixed, and a large amount of new snow would make it difficult for the attacking troops to advance with one foot deep and one foot shallow... The Germans did not even use barbed wire, and these new snows are the best obstacle delay facilities.

In such a situation, the only hope for the Soviet army to win is to use their own body as a target, and it will only be possible after the Germans finish the bullets.

But the political commissar raised a question.

"Don't we need to face this problem at dawn?" said political commissar Yegorvich. "At dawn, these new snow will be thicker and our offense will be more difficult!"

Olegnov thought about it and replied: "You are right, Comrade Political Commissar. But our troops include Caucasians and Siberians, who are good at fighting in the snow!"

"Yes, that's why we have to obey Comrade Zhukov's orders and immediately launch a charge towards the enemy's position!"

"We should do this, but not charge!" Olegnov replied.

Then Olegnov ordered a commando to form a hundred men, composed of strong Caucasians and hardy Siberians, and then lurked in front of the enemy's defense line in heavy snow... They lurked to a distance of only 20 meters from the German defense line, and then lie there for about an hour until dawn, and the wind and snow would cover up all their traces.

However, Olegnov didn't know how many of those hundred people could stand up from the snow.

Olegnov waved his hand, and the Soviet soldiers behind him rushed towards the German soldiers on the mountain with their guns in groups.

The German sentries discovered them and hurriedly took the gun from their shoulders, but the sniper arranged by Olegnov opened fire. "Bang" several gunshots came from the empty snow-capped mountains. When the echo was still echoing between the peaks, the sentry fell to the ground and rolled down from the peaks, and a landmine was also sounded.

This should be an exception. The reason is that mines in this high-altitude area often lose their function. On the one hand, the mine detonation device may freeze and cannot be detonated. On the other hand, the snow layer will accumulate and thicker on it. It will not take long to take longer than stepping on a foot. If it is about to explode, it will explode earlier.

Then the Soviet soldiers shouted and rushed up the mountain in a dense formation.

Although it was a rush, it was actually moving slowly on the snow, shooting while moving forward.

The German army immediately organized a counterattack and requested reinforcements from the second-line fortifications.

Frontline commander Lieutenant Meyer was not panicked because he believed that if the Soviets were at the charge speed, his troops could completely block the Soviet attack and even repel the Soviets' charge before reinforcements arrived.

but……

At this time, two red signal flares suddenly rose from the Soviet Union.

Although Meyer didn't know what the two red flares meant, he knew that this was not a good thing... The flares were usually used by the enemy to contact cooperative forces, but there was no Soviet force that could be coordinated here.

The next second, Meyer discovered that he was wrong.

Dozens of figures suddenly stood up in the snow in front of the position. They threw a row of grenades into the German defense line one after another, then fell back to their original position and raised their guns.

There were more grenades emitting blue smoke in the German trenches... At that moment, Lieutenant Meyer realized that the defense line on the top of the mountain was about to be lost.

"Kazbegi Peak fell!" The staff officer reported to Major General Freko.

"When did it happen?" Major General Freco raised his head.

"Just just now!" the staff officer replied: "The enemy concentrated at least two divisions there, and they also seized one of our warehouses and obtained supplies!"

Major General Freko's face turned very ugly. He turned his eyes to Kazbegi, then looked up and said, "Obviously, they turned their main attack direction from the Mamisojsky Pass to Kazbegi!"

Colonel Slein nodded and said, "That was a good choice for the Soviets. Their seagull fighter jets can advance through the complex terrain of Mizur Peak, and then arrive at Kazbegi Peak to fight. Once our fighter jets are found, they can hide back to Mizur Peak to get rid of our army's pursuit!"

"This makes it difficult for our helicopters to play a role there?" Qin Chuan said.

"Yes!" said Colonel Slain: "If our helicopters enter that area, they will be exposed to the muzzle of the Seagull fighter!"

In fact, Colonel Slein was not completely right, because just as they were discussing, the German Air Force fighter jets fought fiercely with the Soviet Air Force over the Kazbegi Peak... The Soviet Jacques 1 and MiG3 fighter jets were put into battle.
