German Air Force 7th Air Fleet Headquarters, Commander Lieutenant General Alfred Koller, is asking about the transfer of the troops.
Originally, 7th Air Fleet was stationed at German homeland and was responsible for local air defense missions. Now, the situation in the Middle East Persian Gulf area is tense, and the Air Force Command has issued an order requiring 7th Air Fleet to transfer to Middle East Persian Gulf.
"General, 71st Fighter Wing has set off and is expected to be stationed at the airport at Kingdom of Iraq in two days. However, we need enough fuel, bombs and other parts. The ground crew also need to rush there as soon as possible!" 7th Air Fleet Chief of Staff Major General Gudes said.
"Contact Strategic Air Force and ask them to dispatch fighter jets and Bomber to help us transport personnel, ammunition and parts! The Navy can also help us transport, but it is too time-consuming for the Navy!" Lieutenant General Alfred Kohler said.
"This transition was too hasty. However, this was all caused by Russians. I believe that the pilots will transfer their anger to those Russians by then." Major General Gudes said.
Lieutenant General Alfred Koller laughed, "There is no way. I'm afraid we will have to be stationed there to eat sand before the end of this war. After defeating the Russian army Caucasian Front Army, we still have to launch an attack on Caucasus region and even Russia. In addition, we have to protect those oil fields, deploy air defense systems, etc.!"
"Yes! His Majesty the Emperor has issued an order, and no one dares to disobey it!" Major General Gudes said.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. All troops must transfer to Middle East Persian Gulf within a week." Lieutenant General Alfred Koller said.
7th Air Fleet has three Fighter Wings, one Dive Bomber Wing and one Ground Attack Wing, with a total of six hundred combat aircraft. There are thousands of pilots and reserve pilots. If you include ground crews and air defense personnel, the entire 7th Air Fleet exceeds 10,000 people. Now, so many people have to fly to the Middle East Persian Gulf area, which is undoubtedly a huge trouble.
A large number of German aircraft were transferred to the airport in Kingdom of Iraq through the airports in Balkan Peninsula and Turkey. After defeating the Russian army Caucasian Front Army, their base will be expanded to other Middle East countries. Large-scale air defense Radar and other air defense weapons will also be delivered to Middle East to further strengthen Germany's air defense system here and ensure that the enemy cannot threaten Middle East's oil wells and fields through bombing.
On November 1st, the headquarters of 7th Air Fleet was transferred to Baghdad. Among the aviation wings under the jurisdiction of 7th Air Fleet, one Fighter Wing, Dive Bomber Wing and Ground Attack Wing were transferred first. The other two Fighter Wing will also come over later.
At the same time, German Air Force used a large number of transport aircraft and Bomber to transport the ground crew and ammunition needed by 7th Air Fleet to Iraq. Moreover, before the sea ship arrived, 7th Air Fleet's ammunition consumption had to be transported by air. Although the cost will be very high, there is nothing we can do about it.
Turks and the Iranians are very hardworking. If German military can launch an air strike against the Russian army, this will at least relieve their pressure and buy more time for German reinforcements to arrive.
If the blockade fails and the Russian army invades the southern part of Iraq and destroys those oil wells, Germany will pay a greater price for this.
German Navy is now trying his best to help German Army transport troops. 21st Army Corps and 22nd Army Corps are already on the way. The speed of those transport ships was increased as much as possible.
German Army E Army Group Commander General Rundstedt took the lead in moving his headquarters to Baghdad.
"General, General Rundstedt is here!" Lieutenant General Alfred Koller's office had not been packed yet when General Rundstedt came to visit.
"Please!" Lieutenant General Alfred Kohler said.
Although the two sides belong to different systems, General Rundstedt is not only one level higher than him in military rank. At the same time, judging from the current regional division, 7th Air Fleet is also assigned to Army Group. General Rundstedt can also be regarded as his immediate boss.
"Your Excellency Commander, please sit down. I'm really sorry, my place is in a mess." Lieutenant General Alfred Koller said.
"General Koller, there is no need to go to work. I know you have just started. However, the situation on the front line is not good. Russians has launched a more violent attack. They are about to reach Zagros Mountains. The Iranians are about to be unable to hold on. Therefore, I hope 7th Air Fleet can launch air strikes against the Russian army as soon as possible to reduce the pressure on the Iranians!" General Rundstedt 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 intensity of the air strikes may not be too great at the beginning. But I guarantee that the intensity of the air strikes will become stronger and stronger. We will do our best to cause more damage to Russians!" Lieutenant General Alfred Kohler assured.
General Rundstedt nodded, knowing that there was no way around it. However, it is already a very good thing that 7th Air Fleet can take action with all his strength.
General Rundstedt didn't stay at the 7th Air Fleet headquarters for long. Although, Army 21st Army Corps and 22nd Army Corps have not arrived yet. But the preliminary preparations need to be done well. In this case, when the two armies arrive, they can immediately launch an attack.
At the request of General Rundstedt, the Iraqi Army and Kuwait armies are building supply depots on the road leading to the north. In this case, German military can advance directly north along the highway after arriving.
On the morning of November 2, German military 7th Air Fleet dispatched a Fighter Group to cover a Dive Bomber brigade and an anti-ground Attacker brigade, flying to the front line. Launch an attack on part of the Russian army Caucasian Front Army 47th Army Corps and reinforce Iranian Army so that they can hold on longer, hold off the Russian army and buy enough time for the arrival of German military.
