Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Returning to his office, Commander Vasilevsky poured himself a glass of vodka.

The light bulbs on the ceiling were flickering, as if they were about to go out at any moment; the continuous shelling by the Germans caused frequent failures in the originally unreliable generator system. Although the reserves of gasoline and diesel were still sufficient, there were still many machine failures. Stability is inevitable.

He drank the vodka in the glass in one gulp and poured another glass. As soon as he raised his glass, his adjutant came in, holding several leaflets in his hand. "Comrade Commander, take a look at this."

"What is this?" Commander Vasilevsky picked up the leaflet and found that it was a surrender letter written by Budyonny and Timoshenko. He wrote a eloquent one-page surrender letter. He only read the beginning and crumpled it into pieces. Tuan threw it into the trash can aside and said with great determination. "I will never betray my motherland!"

What he didn't know was that in a corner not far from his office, several people were whispering something furtively. "It seems that Comrade Commander is not planning to surrender."

"Then what should we do? We can't accompany him to death, right? How about we escape to the Germans tonight?"

"It's easy to escape, but if you just escape like this, you're just an ordinary surrendered soldier at best. If you want to get good treatment, unless..."

After discussing for a long time, everyone finally came up with a pretty good plan.

That night.

The German frontline troops captured a Soviet soldier who claimed to be a staff officer of Vasilevsky Command. This staff officer named Ivanov insisted on meeting the supreme commander here. This news was reported step by step, and finally Ivanov was sent to the headquarters of Commander Sigmund Wilhelm List, who was responsible for the attack on Stalingrad.

"I am Lister, the supreme commander here." Commander Lister laughed. "It seems that Marshal Vasilevsky is ready to surrender? We welcome him."

Ivanov saluted Commander Lister, showing a hint of embarrassment. "Commander List, it's not that Marshal Silevsky wants to surrender. On the contrary, he is determined to live and die with Stalingrad."

"Oh?" Commander Lister raised his eyebrows slightly and then reacted. "Commander Vasilevsky wants to live and die with Stalingrad? Then you don't want to be buried with him? Since you insist on meeting me, the supreme commander, you must have brought some big gift, right?"

"Yes."

Based on the intelligence provided by Ivanov, Commander List's staff formulated a plan that night and reported it to Berlin. After reading the plan, Yannick immediately approved it and ordered Skorzeny to dispatch a special forces unit to Stalingrad to carry out the beheading operation.

The next night, while the night was getting dark, from a German base outside Stalingrad, with the roar of engines, forty helicopters took off one after another, heading for Stalingrad. The darkness concealed the silhouette of these helicopters; at the same time, the sound of ground shelling also completely covered up the noise of the helicopters.

Soon, the helicopter group arrived in the city center and saw a triangular fire on the ground. In the middle of the triangle was the Stalingrad City Hall. Under the city hall was the underground headquarters where Marshal Vasilevsky was hiding.

"Prepare to rappel, the beheading operation has officially begun!"

As the German special forces commander issued the order, the helicopter group slowly lowered its altitude, preparing to lower the special forces to the ground.

There are two main methods of helicopter delivery in later generations. The first is "rapid vertical landing in mid-air", which is a rope descent, and the second is "helicopter landing", which is an aircraft landing. Generally speaking, rope descent is suitable for the rapid delivery of personnel. The personnel who land first can quickly form a defense circle to ensure the safety of the entire delivery process. At the same time, the helicopter can also respond to sudden emergencies anytime and anywhere at high altitudes. Situation: Airborne landings are mostly used for the delivery of equipment and supplies, and are generally suitable for relatively stable positions.

However, rappelling in combat also involves considerable risks. Because the height is too low and it is hovering in the air, the helicopter can easily be shot down if enemies on the ground attack.

As the helicopter gets closer to the ground, the noise gradually gets louder. The Soviet troops guarding the city hall were not deaf, so they naturally discovered this abnormal situation. "What is this sound?!" A Soviet officer stared at the dark sky and muttered. "Turn on the searchlight and see what's going on in the sky?"

Someone on the side suggested. "If you turn on the searchlights, it might attract German artillery fire. What if the Germans concentrate their bombing here? Below is Marshal Vasilevsky's headquarters."

"..." This time the Soviet officer was in trouble, but the noise above his head became louder and louder, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger, and he finally couldn't help but yell. "Damn it, if there's any problem, I'll be responsible for it, turn on the searchlights! Immediately!!"

Soon, the bright light of the searchlight shot into the sky, dispelling the darkness. The helicopter group hovering in mid-air all appeared, and the Soviet troops on the ground were stunned. It's not that they have never seen such aircraft before. What shocked them was that these aircraft were able to launch raids at night and found this place very accurately. They were clearly heading for the headquarters!

"Damn it, what did I say! Fire! Shoot them all down!!" the Soviet officer shouted at the top of his lungs. Normally, these weird aircraft would fly around quickly in the high air, and they couldn't hit them. But now, these aircraft were just hovering in mid-air not far from them, and even a blind man could hit them down.

The Soviet troops on the ground hurriedly aimed their anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns at the sky. Before they could open fire, helicopters in the sky launched an attack before them. The 40mm grenades roared towards the Soviet anti-aircraft positions.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" A dense explosion sounded on the Soviet position, and many Soviet soldiers were directly torn into pieces. Those anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were blown into parts in the explosion.

Not to be outdone, the 7mm heavy machine gun fired wildly at ground targets, causing the Soviet troops to flee.

At this time, the first batch of German special forces had descended around the city hall and immediately launched a fierce attack on the nearby Soviet troops. Although the elites of the Soviet army are guarding here, they appear a bit weak compared to the real elites.

"Boom!" The firepower point in front of the city hall door was blasted into the sky by the German Iron Fist rockets, and half of the door was blown away. The German special forces rushed into the city hall and began to search for the underground entrance.
