500 tons of supplies per flight day.

If each Junkers-52 barely reaches a load capacity of 5 tons, 100 Junkers will successfully land at Stalingrad every day...... It is a landing instead of an airdrop, and if the airdrop is made, the number of materials will be reduced in stages, so more transport planes will be needed. And that's not even counting the loss caused by the low accuracy of the airdrop.

So this is almost impossible to do on the battlefield, because the Soviets would block the Stalingrad airspace with anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, etc...... As mentioned before, Stalingrad is rectangular in shape, with a depth and width of only five kilometers, and its airspace can be easily blocked.

In addition, the surrounding howitzers would make it impossible for the plane to land at Stalingrad at all.

Anyone with a modicum of military knowledge knows that this is impossible.

But Goering replied stubbornly: "I can do it!" ”

So Qin Chuan understood that the reason why Hitler did not withdraw his troops in Stalingrad after his death was at least one reason for Goering's big words.

Paulus was furious: "This is a lie, Your Excellency! ”

But Hitler, apparently preferring to believe Goering's words, replied: "The Reichmarshal has already reported to me, and I can only trust his report and insist on my decision!" ”

In principle, there is some truth to Hitler's plan.

Paulus believed that there were only two options in the case of determining that the Soviets were going to turn back...... Either send more troops to fill the gap or retreat.

But the problem was that Hitler was unwilling for both.

Sending in additional troops...... Hitler had almost no troops left to send.

Retreat, which was even more not what Hitler wanted.

So he had to make his own choice, not to send more troops and hold the line.

Therefore, on the one hand, he considered sending a few units from the 6th Army to join the Romanian army to strengthen their strength and anti-tank capabilities, or it could be said that the German army could mobilize their combat resolve.

On the other hand, in the event that the line of defense is really broken through and the 6th Army is surrounded, then the Air Force can also transport supplies for the 6th Army...... Hitler thought that the sky belonged to Germany, so he believed that the Air Force could do it.

Of course, this is obviously out of touch with the reality of the battlefield, and belongs entirely to the romantic imagination of Hitler and Goering, who sit in office and are in power.

But Hitler just believed Göring's words, or it could be said that Göring saw that Hitler was unwilling to abandon Stalingrad and go for it...... In any case, Qin Chuan's attempt to change Hitler's mind through "evidence" can already be said to have failed.

To be exact, it was the "evidence" that succeeded, but Hitler still did not change his mind.

"Don't worry, General!" Perhaps to appease Paulus, or perhaps to praise Qin Chuan again, Hitler smiled and said: "In addition to the air force of the Reich Marshal, we also have the 'legendary sergeant', and we also have helicopters, don't we?" ”

Saying that, Hitler turned his gaze to Qin Chuan: "I seem to have heard last time that helicopters can transport 2 tons of supplies, right?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Qin Chuan replied: "And the helicopter can also take off and land on complex terrain, only need to provide it with a small piece of open space, I think it is completely possible to use it as a transport of supplies in Stalingrad!" ”

Paulus and Alexander couldn't help but look at Qin Chuan in astonishment.

Hitler said happily: "Look, General Paulus, you have noticed that this is not only me, but the 'legendary sergeant' agrees with me, and you are all his superiors!" ”

"Your Excellency!" Qin Chuan continued: "The problem is, I don't understand why we are doing this! ”

"Do you have any comments?" Hitler asked.

"Can I use a map, Your Excellency?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Absolutely!" Hitler raised his head towards the map, and even took the indicator stick from his desk and handed it to Qin Chuan very easily.

Qin Chuan took the baton, then pointed to the map and said: "I don't know if Your Excellency the Führer and the Imperial Marshal have noticed that if the Soviet Union breaks through from the Don River and the Volga River, it will not only be a matter of Stalingrad being surrounded, but if the Soviet army advances in the southwest direction...... You know, our forces in the rear are so empty that they can advance almost without stopping, and once they capture Rostov-on-Don, they will cut us into three incommunicable parts: west of the Don, Stalingrad and the Caucasus! ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, including Hitler, who was thinking about Stalingrad but did not expect that the Caucasus would also be surrounded.

"The Führer is right!" Qin Chuan said: "The Imperial Marshal is not wrong, it is indeed possible that we will supply Stalingrad with the air force and hold it, and we can even wait until next spring to launch a counteroffensive." But here's the problem...... Did the Soviets besiege the 6th Army just to encircle and annihilate the 6th Army? ”

"We have two mountain divisions in the Caucasus Mountains!" Hitler said: "They can hold off any enemy with the Caucasus Danger!" ”

"Of course!" Qin Chuan nodded in agreement: "But the question is...... The Soviets could also go down the Volga River into the Caspian Sea and land directly in Transcaucasia or even Baku. Prior to that, the 6th Army would have threatened this transport route if Stalingrad had not been surrounded, but if the 6th Army had been besieged near Stalingrad...... So what else could stop the Soviets from doing this? I can't help but wonder sometimes...... This counteroffensive plan of the Soviets, was their goal for Stalingrad or Baku oil fields? ”

Paulus and Alexander only understood what Qin Chuan meant at this time, and couldn't help but glance at each other and nodded slightly.

Hitler, on the other hand, crossed his hands and held his chin in meditation on the map.

Historically, he did not need to bother with this, because Germany did not take the Baku oil fields, but now it is a different matter.

"Perhaps......" Hitler said, "the aim of the Soviets is to make us mistakenly think that their goal is Stalingrad, and on the other hand, they will divide the Caucasus and then go down the river to attack Baku!" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Qin Chuan said: "You must know that the oil production of the Baku oil field accounted for 71.5% of the total oil production of the Soviet Union, and without it, the Soviet Union is like a lion without food, and one day it will starve to death with skin and bones." All they can do is rely on British and American aid to get through Japan, but if they capture Baku again......"

"Then even holding a hundred Stalingrads will not help!" Hitler replied.

So Qin Chuan knew that he had already moved Hitler.
