Chapter 743 Confirmation (5th Update, Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket)

Qin Chuan confirmed the ranks of the two Soviet officers on the helicopter, and they were indeed both major generals.

He was worried that he had caught the wrong person, after all, a major general might not be a division commander, so Qin Chuan pulled out the cloth tape stuffed in the mouths of the two Soviet officers when the helicopter "thumped" back to the base.

One of the Soviet officers immediately yelled in Russian, and Dominic, who was standing next to him, immediately hit him with a rifle butt.

"Hey, sergeant!" Qin Chuan stopped him, "We finally caught two alive!"

"Sorry, major!" Dominic replied, "I just want to teach him a lesson!"

Werner joked, "I dare say Dominic wants to kill people to silence them, he must be a Soviet..."

"Second lieutenant!" Qin Chuan stopped Werner from continuing.

This kind of joke can't be made casually, if there is a Gestapo spy in the middle, then Dominic will be in trouble.

Qin Chuan was helpless about this. Although he trusted his subordinates, he was not sure whether any of them were secret policemen... At this time, the infiltration of secret policemen into the Wehrmacht was already very common, and it was also very convenient for them to infiltrate. They just needed to sign up for the army.

Of course, Qin Chuan didn't need to care about this.

Qin Chuan pointed his gun at another officer who looked at him coldly and asked, "Stekoff?"

From his eyes, Qin Chuan knew that he had not caught the wrong person, so he was relieved. He raised his head and let Dominic block the mouths of the two again.

"Major!" Adelin asked curiously, "How do you know that he is the one you are looking for? I mean... there are two major generals here!"

"I don't know, Lieutenant Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied, "I just think that if you can command a division to fight, you should at least be able to keep yourself calm. I just guessed it right!"

Qin Chuan did guess it right. The other major general was Stekov's chief of staff.

In less than twenty minutes, the helicopter landed at the Romanian military airport. Alexander had received the news of the success of the operation long ago. He could hardly suppress his excitement. He leaned over and shook Qin Chuan's hand without waiting for the helicopter to land, and shouted: "Congratulations, Major, you have created a miracle again!"

When Adelin and several Romanian soldiers got off the plane, Alexander also stepped forward to shake hands with them to express his gratitude in order to show his friendship to the Allies.

But Adelin didn't seem to take Alexander's polite words to heart at all. He turned to Qin Chuan and said with an incredible expression: "Major, I have to thank you, because we learned a lot tonight, but I don't think this is a good thing!"

"Why?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Because you make us feel that we can't fight at all!" Adelin replied: "Or you can say that our army can't fight!"

Qin Chuan understood what Adelin meant. Sometimes knowing the truth is not a good thing, because if you don't know the truth...then the Romanian army still has the confidence to fight the enemy on the battlefield. Now that they know that the gap with the friendly forces is so big, and even think that their army can't fight, it will cause a blow to morale.

"Forget about it, Lieutenant Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied, "You only saw a dozen minutes, but you don't know how much preparation we made for these ten minutes!"

"Of course, Major!" Adelin shook Qin Chuan's hand and said, "Of course it takes a lot of effort, and this is where our gap lies! In any case... you are the real soldiers!"

Adelin left with his men, fleeing like a defeated rooster, or a frightened bird, looking at Qin Chuan and others as if they were looking at a group of murderous devils...

"What happened to them?" Alexander asked in confusion.

"Nothing!" Qin Chuan shook his head and smiled, "They were shocked by the success of our operation, completely, thoroughly, and without reservation!"

Alexander couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"This is normal, Major!" Alexander said, "That's why I won't join you in the battle!"

The commando lost two members in this battle, and another five members were injured... The casualty ratio is completely disproportionate, especially since the Soviet army also had a grenade battalion that was blown to pieces.

Stalin was also extremely shocked after hearing this information.

"They captured two of our generals?" Stalin asked the staff who came to report: "But our attack has not started yet, and they haven't attacked either..."

"They used helicopters, Comrade Stalin!" The staff replied: "They used it once when they captured the sandbar, but this time, they not only sent troops, but also took people away?"

"You mean..." Stalin took off his pipe: "They flew over our defense line in a helicopter, dropped troops in Lower Tasker, defeated the guards, captured two generals, and then took the helicopter back?"

"Yes, Comrade Stalin!"

Stalin was silent after hearing this. This tactic was unheard of.

Originally, Stalin thought that he was the only one who didn't know, but after contacting Britain and the United States, he found that they knew nothing about it.

"It seems..." Stalin said, holding the anti-rout telegram, "This is the Germans' new equipment and new tactics, and they used it on us first!"

After a pause, Stalin asked the staff: "What do you think of this?"

"I think... we should let other headquarters prepare for defense!" The staff officer replied: "And convey the situation of this attack to the various troops, so that they know what they are guarding against!"

After thinking about it, Stalin shook his head and said: "No, we can't do this. Because if we do this, our morale, which has already suffered from the failure of the Battle of Stalingrad, will be further hit!"

"But if the enemy launches a similar attack again..."

"We can only tell them what to guard against, and we can't say anything about this attack, understand?"

"Understood!" The staff officer nodded.

When the staff officer was about to leave, Stalin added: "Major General Stekov and Major General Seninovich were not captured, but died heroically, understand?"

"Understood, Comrade Stalin!"

After the staff officer left, Stalin looked at the map and gradually fell into deep thought, and then his brows frowned deeper and deeper.

Stalin realized that if the enemy launched a general attack like this one tonight, the Soviet Red Army's defense line would become full of loopholes.

Because this type of attack can directly skip the defense line and attack any key point behind the Soviet army in a short period of time, and then quickly evacuate after reaching the strategic target.
