Chapter 1163 Air Strike

Lieutenant General Alfred Kohler, commander of the German Air Force 7th Aviation Group Command, is asking about the transfer of troops.

Originally, the 7th Aviation Group was stationed in mainland Germany and was responsible for local air defense tasks. Now, the situation in the Persian Gulf region of the Middle East is tense, and the Air Force Command has issued an order requiring the 7th Aviation Group to transfer to the Persian Gulf in the Middle East.

"General, the 71st Fighter Wing has already set off, and it is expected to be stationed at the airport in the Kingdom of Iraq in two days. However, we need enough fuel, bombs and other spare parts. The ground crew also need to rush there as soon as possible!" Major General Goodes, chief of staff of the 7th Aviation Group, said.

"Contact the Strategic Air Force and ask them to dispatch fighter jets and bombers to help us transport personnel, ammunition and spare parts! The Navy can also help us transport, but the Navy is too time-consuming!" Alfred? Lieutenant General Koller said.

"The transition this time was really too hasty. However, it was all caused by the Russians. I believe that the pilots will transfer their anger to the Russians." Major General Goodes said .

Lieutenant General Alfred Koller laughed: "There is no way. I am afraid that before the end of this war, we will have to garrison there to eat sand. After defeating the Russian Caucasus Front Army, we have to Launch an attack on the Caucasus and even on the territory of Russia. Also protect those oil fields, deploy air defense systems, etc.!"

"Yes! His Majesty the Emperor issued an order, and no one dares to disobey it!" Major General Gudes said.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. All the troops must be transferred to the Middle East Persian Gulf within a week." Lieutenant General Alfred Koller said.

The 7th Aviation Group has three fighter wings, one dive bomber wing and one ground attack wing, with a total of 600 combat aircraft. There are thousands of pilots and reserve pilots. If the ground crew and air defense personnel are added, the entire 7th Aviation Group will exceed 10,000 people. Now, so many people have to go to the Persian Gulf region of the Middle East by airlift, which is undoubtedly a great trouble.

A large number of German aircraft were transferred to the airport in the Kingdom of Iraq through the airports in the Balkans and Turkey. After defeating the Russian Caucasus Front Army, their station will expand to other Middle Eastern countries. Air defense weapons such as large air defense radars will also arrive in the Middle East to further strengthen Germany's air defense system here and ensure that the enemy cannot threaten oil wells and oil fields in the Middle East through bombing.

On November 1, the headquarters of the 7th Aviation Group was transferred to Baghdad. Among the aviation wings under the 7th aviation group, there is already a fighter wing, and the dive bomber wing and the ground attack aircraft wing have been transferred here first. The other two fighter wings will also switch over later.

At the same time, the German Air Force used a large number of transport planes and bombers to transport the ground crew and ammunition needed by the 7th Aviation Group to Iraq. Moreover, before the arrival of the ships transported by sea, the ammunition consumption of the 7th Aviation Group had to be transported by air. Although such a cost would be very high, there was no way around it.

Turks and Iranians, the big ones are very hard. If the German army can launch an air strike against the Russian army, it will at least relieve their pressure and buy more time for the arrival of German reinforcements.

If the blocking fails and the Russian army invades southern Iraq and destroys those oil wells, Germany will pay a greater price for it.

The German Navy is now doing its best to help the German Army transport troops. The 21st Army and the 22nd Army are already on their way. The speed of those transport ships has been increased as much as possible.

General Lundstedt, commander of Army Group E of the German Army, moved his headquarters to Baghdad first.

"General, General Lundstedt is here!" Lieutenant General Alfred Correll's office hadn't been tidied yet, and Admiral Lundstedt came to visit.

"Please!" Lieutenant General Alfred Koller said.

Although the two sides belong to different systems, General Lundstedt is not only one rank higher than him. At the same time, judging from the current regional division, the 7th Aviation Group is also assigned to the E Group Army Group. Admiral Lundstedt can also be regarded as his immediate boss.

"Your Excellency, please sit down. I'm sorry, I'm in a mess here." Lieutenant General Alfred Koller said.

"General Koller, don't get busy, I know you've just started. However, the situation on the front line is not good. The Russians have launched a more violent attack. They will soon reach the Zagros Mountains. The Iranians It’s almost unbearable. Therefore, I hope that the 7th aviation group can launch an air strike against the Russian army as soon as possible to reduce the pressure on the Iranians!” Admiral Lundstedt said.

"Your Excellency, Commander, there is no problem. The air strikes can start tomorrow. However, due to the insufficiency of various materials and the need to adapt to the situation here, the air strikes may not be too powerful at the beginning. But I guarantee that the air strikes will become more and more powerful. We will do our best to cause more damage to the Russians!" Lieutenant General Alfred Koller assured.

Admiral Rundstedt nodded, and he also knew that there was no way. However, it is already a very good thing that the 7th aviation group can make a full shot.

Admiral Lundstedt did not stay long at 7th Aviation Group Command. Although, the Army's 21st Army and 22nd Army have not yet arrived. But preparatory work needs to be done well. In this case, when the two armies arrive, they can launch an attack immediately.

At the request of Admiral Rundstedt, the Iraqi and Kuwaiti troops are building supply stations on the road leading to the north. In this case, the German army can advance directly north along the road after arriving.

On the morning of November 2, the German 7th Aviation Group dispatched a fighter brigade, covering a dive bomber brigade and a ground attack aircraft brigade, and flew to the front to attack a part of the 47th Army of the Russian Caucasus Front. The Iranian Army, so that they can hold on for a longer time, hold back the Russian army and buy enough time for the arrival of the German army.
