Chapter 928: We Can't Wait That Long (Page 1/1)
"Can our air force strike right now?"
Looking at the stunned appearance of the operations staff officer, McNair couldn't help but ask in a hurry.
"No, I can't!"
In the face of McNair's impatient questioning, Archiebury, the combat staff officer, hurriedly reacted and immediately responded loudly.
"Why"
Hearing this, McNair's eyes froze, with a displeased expression on his face, staring at the combat staff officer Archibri, and asked in a somewhat stern voice.
"Because our planes have not yet arrived in Iran, we are not on the mainland to deliver the planes and pilots we need on time as promised to us for help! So we simply don't have enough air support right now! ”
Combat Staff Officer Archibri explained nervously.
"Then when will the aviation support promised by our Air Command, Marshall and Eisenhower and Prime Minister Churchill, be realized?"
After hearing this, McNair suddenly became angry and asked angrily.
"It will take a few days at the earliest, and if our transport line is intercepted by the Germans, or sabotaged, it will take even more time! Because now the German army has used the aircraft carrier fleet and the new submarine group to intercept our sea transport lines! ”
Combat Staff Officer Archie Buri continued.
"No! We can't wait that long! I have to have the support of the air force immediately, otherwise we will be crushed by the Germans in this serious war, and we will lose! ”
"And if we lose this war like this, then the consequences for us will be unimaginable!"
"Not only will we lose the combat route of supporting the Soviet army against the German army, but we will also allow the German army to obtain a large amount of oil for mechanized warfare, so that their tanks, planes and armored vehicles and other new weapons and equipment will be supplied with a steady stream of oil, so that their combat effectiveness can be rapidly improved!"
"At the same time, it will also make us lose most of our oil supply, it will make us lose the combat capability of our mechanized troops, and it will turn our tanks and armored vehicles, as well as airplanes, into a pile of scrap metal that can only be seen and not used!"
"So we absolutely can't just lose this war, let alone lose the oil resources of Iran and Iraq and other parts of the Middle East! Even if we lose the war, we will definitely not be able to let the German army under Guderian's command get the slightest loss of oil and troops! ”
McNair was sharp-eyed and resolute.
"Everything is under the orders of the commander!"
Archiebri, the combat staff officer, reflexively agreed, without thinking about it.
Immediately, his eyes became firm, and he clenched his fists and prepared for the final victory in this battle.
"If only you understood! In this battle, as long as I win, I will not allow defeat, even if I want to die on the battlefield! ”
"Otherwise, once we lose the source of oil and the transportation lines here in Iran, I am afraid that the battlefield operations on the entire eastern and western fronts will have an extremely unfavorable negative situation for our troops."
McNair nodded solemnly.
At the same time, he also showed a look of deep concern on his face, and he also quickly thought about how to deal with the overwhelming attack of the German army, and how to support the British army, so that the combat cooperation of the two sides was greatly improved.
There is also how to communicate effectively with the Soviet army, and let the Soviet army send air forces to support them against the air attacks of the German air forces.
