But Conrad was obviously reluctant to let Qin Chuan do this, because he thought it was simply suicide with his "work", so Conrad argued after Qin Chuan:

"It has a top speed of only 200 kilometers per hour, and it is a target when it encounters enemy aircraft!"

"I'm not going to let it touch an enemy plane!" Qin Chuan walked into the cabin, but quickly retreated again, because there was nothing to see in the cabin, it was the familiar "Junker 52".

"We have air supremacy!" Qin Chuan said: "As long as there are a few BF escorts, the enemy's fighters will not be able to get close to us!" ”

"It will be a good target for enemy anti-aircraft guns and even machine guns!" Conrad said again.

"Maybe ......" Qin Chuan replied: "The enemy's air defense equipment has no time to react at all!" I mean, if we approach at a low altitude! ”

"God!" Conrad looked at Qin Chuan: "You don't want to approach at a low altitude, and then let the soldiers slide down the rope to attack!" ”

"You guessed it!" Qin Chuan nodded.

"You're crazy!" Conrad said, "It can only carry 20 people on one plane, and only 200 people on ten!" ”

"Do you think I'm crazy?" Qin Chuan turned his head, looked at Conrad, and said solemnly: "Colonel, I myself will be one of them, do you think I will be sent to death as you think?" ”

"I'm sure you won't, but ......" Conrad looked at his own "work", he couldn't imagine that this thing could still fight.

After a long while, Conrad nodded and said, "Well, I trust you!" ”

"Uh-huh, why did you suddenly believe it again?" Qin Chuan was a little surprised.

"Because you still have Hannah!" Conrad said.

Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment, and then the two suddenly laughed in unison.

"How long does it take to renovate!" Qin Chuan asked: "I mean, put a machine gun on it, open the belly of the machine, and then install the sling!" ”

"A few days!" Conrad replied: "These are not complicated! ”

"Good!" Qin Chuan said: "I think, it's time for us to talk to Alexander!" ”

In Paulus's headquarters, Paulus and his staff officers seemed to be discussing the feasibility of blowing up the dam, as Qin Chuan heard voices saying that it would at least flood the central ferry and make it difficult for the Soviets to resupply.

This is true, but the problem is that after the Volga water level rises, the Soviets can even drive their ships directly into Stalingrad.

However, there was no need to argue about this issue, and Qin Chuan walked in with Conrad.

Paulus didn't have any expression on his face, but Alexander nodded at Qin Chuan and said, "Major, are you here to say goodbye to us?" ”

"No, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "I think I found a way!" ”

Alexander's eyes lit up and he glanced at Paulus in surprise and delight, and Paulus shook his head slightly, as if to tell Alexander not to get too much hope.

But no matter what, Paulus still gave Qin Chuan a position.

As soon as Qin Chuan came up, he went straight to the point, he pointed to several sandbars on the Volga River, and said: "Gentlemen, the Volga River has a gentle current, sandbars like this can be seen everywhere on the river and the area is not small, the practice of the Soviets is to arrange the troops in the fortified area to build reinforced concrete fortifications on them to resist the bombardment of our army, and arrange artillery in them, including anti-aircraft fire!" ”

"Yes, we know this!" Alexander said: "The artillery fortifications on it caused great problems for our Air Force to blockade the Volga and capture Stalingrad!" ”

"What's the use of saying that, Major?" Paulus said, "Your strategy is not to let the artillery and air force blow up these sandbanks!" ”

"No, of course not, General!" Qin Chuan replied: "I want to occupy these sandbanks!" ”

Hearing this, the officers couldn't help but be stunned.

"Occupation? How? Paulus asked rhetorically.

"Major, these sandbars are in the middle of the Volga!" Alexander said: "It is impossible for us to occupy these sandbanks unless we launch a landing operation!" ”

Then the landing operation is almost impossible to succeed, because these sandbanks can be said to be surrounded by Soviet troops, with Stalingrad on the left and the east bank on the right, and the landing operation is almost a search for death.

"There's another way, Colonel!" Qin Chuan said: "We can be airborne!" ”

The officers looked at each other, and then someone laughed: "Airborne? Our airborne troops will fall into the river to feed the fish! ”

This is common sense in airborne operations, and it is difficult for paratroopers to accurately grasp their landing sites, so airborne landing on a sandbar is naturally wishful thinking.

Conrad seemed to understand what Qin Chuan meant, and he replied for Qin Chuan: "No, gentlemen, we can indeed be airborne, this airborne method can allow us to project our troops on these sandbanks very accurately and quickly!" ”

As if remembering something, Paulus looked at Conrad and asked, "You're talking about that weird plane you flew in?" ”

"Helicopter!" Conrad replied.

Paulus turned his gaze to Qin Chuan again.

"Yes!" Qin Chuan affirmed this answer: "The biggest advantage of the helicopter is that it can hover, and we can use it to throw troops on the sandbar and occupy it as quickly as possible." ”

Paulus hesitated and asked, "How many troops can you send?" ”

"Two hundred!" Conrad explained: "We have ten helicopters, each with a capacity of 20 people! ”

"A garrison of five hundred to a thousand people on a sandbank, and two hundred are sure of a quick occupation?"

"That shouldn't be a problem!" Alexander said: "The Soviet troops on the sandbar were mostly artillery and defenseless!" If we're putting in the elite......"

As he spoke, Alexander glanced at Qin Chuan and said, "For example, the 1st Infantry Regiment equipped with MP43!" ”

Alexander was right, the ordinary 1st Infantry Regiment could have a casualty ratio of 1 to 10 against the Soviets, let alone those non-infantry professional units attacking the sandbar.

"What about supplies?" Paulus asked again.

"On the one hand, it can be transported by helicopter!" Qin Chuan said: "On the other hand, we can use the equipment of the Soviets, who will definitely store considerable ammunition on the sandbar!" ”

Of course, because the sandbar can be said to be an important fulcrum of Soviet front-line firepower, and it is also very safe, so ammunition must be transported up and stored in the underground fortifications on it.

Alexander couldn't help but nod and looked at Paulus expectantly: "General, the fortifications on the sandbar can be used to avoid the bombardment of the Soviets, and these sandbanks can see the central ferry, so they will play a similar role to the Mamayev post, and even the artillery of the sandbar can directly bombard the central ferry!" ”

This is exactly what Qin Chuan thought.
