Chapter 420 Anapa
Things progressed much faster than expected. After 28 hours, 100 amphibiousnding vehicles had been produced and delivered to the naval infantry brigade. In the end, even 20 more were produced, so the navy temporarily added two more transport ships and Twondingpanies. (Note: One transport ship can carry ten amphibiousnding vehicles)
"Is everything ready?" Mehlis asked.
"Yes, Comrade Mechlis!" Major General dimir answered.
"rify your mission again!" Mehlis said: "The fleet is on standby in Anapa first, and immediately goes to Feodosia to attack it when it receives the order. The first is the navalnding force to seize the beachhead to cover the navy. The 5th Infantry Brigadended and upied the entire city as quickly as possible, and then the 1st Guards Tank Brigade... One thing is to ensure that the 1st Tank Guards Brigade and their equipmentnd safely, understand?"
"Yes, Comrade Mehlis!"
Mechlis’ words surprised others, because the whole n was clear and reasonable, just like the words of a battle-hardened general.
But Major General dimir knew what was going on. He nced at Shulka, who was standing beside Mechelis, with an unnatural look on his face.
Then the troops and amphibious transport ships were transported to Anapa by railway in batches.
Anapa is a port city in the Caucasus.
The previous n was tond from Kerch, so starting from Temryuksky is no problem.
But now it isnding in Feodosia... If it still departs from Temliuksky, it means that arge number of naval ships will first pass through the narrow Kerch Strait before heading to their destination.
This is obviously more dangerous, and it is easy to be spotted and intercepted by the German Air Force, so the n was temporarily changed and the starting point was set in Anapa.
Departing from Anapa is a vast ck Sea, and it may not be easy for German fighter nes to find a transport fleet in it.
When he arrived in Anapa, Major General dimir asked Shulka with some doubts.
"You don''t seem to be angry at all about this?" Major General dimir said.
"What? Why are you angry?"
Major General dimir shrugged, handed a cigarette and said, "You know what I''m talking about!"
Major General dimir did not dare to speak clearly.
It wasn''t that he didn''t believe Shulka, but that he couldn''t guarantee whether there was an eyeliner of the "King of Small Reports" nearby.
Shulka understood, he smiled and took the cigarette, and replied: "Otherwise, what can we do? Let himmand the battle? Then let your soldiers step over knees or even waists in batches The deep sea attacked the Germans? Fell in batches under the guns of the enemy or froze to death in the sea?"
dimir nodded: "So, I should thank you! We owe you a favor, me and my soldiers...we will remember this!"
Shuerka couldn''t helpughing: "General, this is the second time you have said something like this!"
Major General dimir remembered that when he first met Shulka, he said through gritted teeth that he would remember Shulka, and couldn''t helpughing "haha".
"Yes, my friend!" Major General dimir hugged Shulka: "But this time remembering is different fromst time remembering!"
"This is what I should do!" Shulka replied: "For the Soviet Union!"
"For the Soviet Union!" Major General dimir nodded movedly: "Our troops should have more soldiers like you, Comrade Shulka!"
Then Kshnikov walked up to Shulka, who had followed all the way here as a repairman for the amphibiousnding ship.
"I think I should say goodbye to you here, Shulka!" Kshnikov said.
"Yes, of course!" Shulka said.
In fact, it was Shulka''s intention to keep Kshnikov out of the boat.
Mechlis’ original intention was to let Kshnikov and other maintenance personnel board the ship and drive to Feodosia with the troops... This is normal, what if the amphibiousnding ship fails?
Shulka certainly wouldn''t let that happen.
You know this is Kshnikov, what if something happens and no one develops AK47?
So Shulka suggested to Mehlis: "This kind of amphibious transport ship is very simple, and ordinary maintenance workers can do it. It seems that there is no great need for scientists to go with the troops. You know, they are The person who develops the equipment, maybe next time I will think of something and need him to realize it!"
"Oh, yes!" Mehlis nodded and said, "That''s right, Shulka, of course we can''t let him take risks on the battlefield!"
"I''ve been thinking about a question, Shulka!" Kshnikov stepped forward.
"What? About producing improved amphibiousnding craft?"
"No, Shulka!" Kshnikov said: "Remember what you said to me at the train stationst time?"
"Oh!" Shulka nodded: "That''s nothing, Comrade Kshnikov, that''s just my guess!"
"But your guesses have always been urate!" Kshnikov said: "Do you really believe that they will attack Stalingrad?"
Shuerka nodded slowly, but added: "But I''m not sure!"
"That''s enough, Shulka!" Kshnikov said. "So, what do you think we should do to prepare? To build fortifications? To store ammunition?"
Shulka didn''t think that far. He told Kshnikov at the train station that he wanted to remind him. It was from a friend''s and personal point of view. He wanted him to find a friend as soon as possible. Chance left Stalingrad.
Unexpectedly, Kshnikov understood this "preparation" as the "preparation" of the entire Stalingrad!
Shuerka was a little helpless, but after thinking about it, why not? If only some preparation could be done!
After thinking about it, Shulka replied: "Yes, Comrade Kshnikov, you are right about storing food and ammunition. But not on the ground!"
"Not stored on the ground?" Kshnikov asked suspiciously: "You mean buried underground?"
"No, Comrade Kshnikov!" Shulka replied: "I noticed that there are many factories in Stalingrad, and the factories have many sewers for the waste water. Maybe you can''t believe that in the event of a war, these sewers It''s going to be a great underground fortification for us. So..."
"I see!" Kshnikov nodded: "I hope I can convince them, I mean, this is just your guess. Although I believe it, they don''t necessarily believe it!"
"I understand!" Shulka expressed understanding.
Of course it’s good if you can do it, but if you can’t, you can only take one step at a time.
