Episode 6 Air Corridor(2/2)

A large blackboard was hung in the conference room where the action was planned. These three questions were written on the blackboard by Xiang Xiaoqiang.

After Xiang Xiaoqiang finished writing, he threw the chalk away, patted the chalk dust on his hand, and said:

"Actually, these three issues are interrelated. How much force we need to deliver directly determines how we deliver it. And what kind of delivery method we adopt directly determines how much force we can deliver. We need to deliver

The number of troops depends on how many Soviet troops are stationed there. At least we can't be too disadvantaged. Okay, everyone can speak freely."

The commando commander knows this problem better than anyone here. Now, he is the expert among these people.

His name is Wang Bingcan, with the rank of colonel. He is the commander-in-chief of the Ming Army’s Army Aviation Commando Team, and he is also an old comrade who participated in the rescue operation of the Northern Qing Dynasty with Xiang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Bingcan saw that no one else said anything but looked at him, so he did his part and said:

"Your Majesty, the general is so presumptuous."

"Brother Wang, there is no need to be restrained, just give me guidance."

"How can the general dare to give advice..." Wang Bingcan said, "It's just that we still don't know how many Soviet troops are stationed in Kanas Lake. We don't have intelligence personnel there, so we can only make rough estimates. However, the general feels that

, in this helpless situation, we do not need to be bound by the number of Soviet troops. We only need to consider the upper limit of the troops we can deliver. If we can deliver a hundred, we do not plan to deliver fifty. In this way

, no matter how many Soviet troops there are, we will only do our best."

Xiang Xiaoqiang nodded, glanced around the crowd, and said:

"Well, it makes sense. Indeed, if we can deliver a hundred, we will not deliver fifty. The larger the force, the greater the chance of victory. However, while we are planning, we must also step up the collection of intelligence from Altay and Kazakhstan, and try our best to

Calculate the approximate strength of the Soviet army."

"Your Majesty is right."

"What about the delivery method? How about airdrop?" Xiang Xiaoqiang said, "I think nighttime airdrop is good. There is no limit on the number. We can also airdrop a regiment. And at night, the threat from Soviet anti-aircraft artillery is relatively small."

Xiuxiu hesitated and said:

"I'm afraid the sound will be louder... If we really want to airdrop hundreds of people, it will take dozens of planes. The Soviets will know that we are coming from a long distance away. Then the suddenness will be lost. If the Soviets look at the sky and the sky is full of

It's a parachute. It hid Guangwu directly in the forest, so what should we do...Also, if it's airdropped, how can we evacuate after the battle..."

Everyone nodded lightly. Shi Shigege said:

"Yes, Xiu Xiu is right."

Wang Bingcan said:

"What the two princesses said is right. Airborne landings have this problem. But it is not just a problem. This kind of airborne landing of dozens or hundreds of people is only suitable for plain areas. In mountainous areas, especially high mountains like the Altai Mountains,

They are all covered with forests, so the danger is too great. It would be good if one-third of the people landed without falling and getting injured. Also, after landing, it usually takes a long time to regroup, and many times they don’t get together at all.

I can’t get up. This is still a plain area. It’s even more impossible in mountainous areas. My lord, think about it, there may only be one or two seconds between two people jumping out of the hatch, but after they land, they may be one or two snowy mountains apart. It’s impossible to gather together.

.”

Xiang Xiaoqiang nodded with a solemn expression. He remembered the airdrop of the Taihang Mountains. At that time, it was not an airdrop of troops, but only an airdrop of supplies. There were still thousands of people below lighting fires and responding. Just like that, in the end, half of the packages were still missing.

Found it. If the airborne troops were to land in the Altai Mountains, they would probably be looking for death.

Obviously, Guangwu was not a fool. If he could stay in that place so peacefully, he must have known that that kind of place was naturally anti-airborne.

Xiang Xiaoqiang hesitated for a moment and wanted to ask if it was feasible to sneak there on foot from the foot of the mountain, that is, from the Outer Mongolia side, but after looking at the map, he gave up the idea. This side of Outer Mongolia is also the Altai Mountains, and also has endless mountains.

, didn’t even know that the access road was blocked. Even if the access road could reach the border by car, then even from the border to Kanas Lake, it would still be dozens of kilometers of mountains. The commando team carried heavy weapons, equipment, and supplies, and climbed over the mountains.

There are tens of kilometers over mountains and ridges... I can't imagine that even if I don't get lost, I will still be able to fight. The key is whether I can still come out after the battle.

Xiang Xiaoqiang was about to ask Wang Bingcan directly, "If this doesn't work, that won't work, what do you think we should do?" Wang Bingcan stared at the map, pinched his chin, and spoke to himself:

"Hmm...how long is Kanas Lake? I wonder if this map is accurate..."

As he spoke, he took the pile of aerial photos and looked at Kanas Lake on the map of northern Xinjiang to study it. Then, he picked up the compass and ruler and made a simple calculation.

"Well, almost...the total length from north to south is more than 20 kilometers...enough for a seaplane to land."

After he said these words, everyone's eyes lit up:

Yes, seaplane!



However, Fourteen Princess spoke immediately:
Chapter completed!
