Things progressed much faster than expected. After 28 hours, 100 amphibious landing vehicles had been produced and delivered to the naval infantry brigade. In the end, twenty more amphibious landing vehicles were produced, so the Navy temporarily added two transport ships and
Two landing companies. (Note: One transport ship can carry ten amphibious landing vehicles)
"Are you all ready?" Mae Helis asked.
"Yes, Comrade Maekhlis!" Major General Vladimir stepped forward and replied.
"Clarify your mission again!" Maihelis said: "The fleet will be on standby in Anapa first. When receiving the order, it will immediately go to Feodosia to attack it. The first is the naval landing force to seize the beachhead position to cover the navy.
The 5th Infantry Brigade will land and occupy the entire city as quickly as possible, followed by the 1st Guards Tank Brigade... We must ensure the safe landing of the 1st Tank Guards Brigade and their equipment, do you understand?"
"Yes, Comrade Mahlis!"
Mahlis' words shocked others because the whole plan was clear and reasonable, just like the words of a battle-hardened general.
However, Major General Vladimir knew what was going on. He glanced at Shulka who was standing next to Mahlis, and his face showed a little unnaturalness.
Then troops and amphibious transport ships were transported to Anapa by rail in batches.
Anapa is a port city in the Caucasus.
The previous plan was to land from Kerch, so there was no problem in starting from Demluksky.
But now we are landing in Feodosia... If we still set off from Demluksky, it means that a large number of navy ships will have to pass through the narrow Kerch Strait before heading to their destination.
This was obviously more dangerous and could easily be discovered and intercepted by the German Air Force, so the plan was temporarily changed to set the starting point in Anapa.
Starting from Anapa, there is a vast Black Sea, and it is probably not easy for German fighter planes to find the transport fleet in it.
When arriving in Anapa, Major General Vladimir asked Shulka with some doubts.
"You don't seem angry about this at all?" Major General Vladimir said.
"What? Why are you angry?"
Major General Vladimir shrugged, handed a cigarette and said: "You know what I'm talking about!"
Major General Vladimir did not dare to say it clearly.
This is not because he doesn't believe Shurka, but because he can't guarantee whether there is an informant of the "King of Snitches" nearby.
Shulka understood, he smiled and took the cigarette, and replied: "Otherwise, what can we do? Let him command this battle? Then let your soldiers cross the knee or even the waist in batches
Deep seawater attacks the Germans? Do batches of them fall under the enemy's guns or freeze to death in the seawater?"
Vladimir nodded: "So, I should thank you! We owe you a favor, my soldiers and I... we will remember this!"
Shulka couldn't help but laugh: "General, this is the second time you have said such a thing!"
Major General Vladimir then remembered that when he first met Shulka, he gritted his teeth and said that he would remember Shulka, and couldn't help laughing "haha".
"Yes, my friend!" Major General Vladimir hugged Shulka: "But the memory this time is different from the last time!"
"This is what I should do!" Shulka replied: "For the Soviet Union!"
"For the Soviet Union!" Major General Vladimir nodded excitedly: "Our troops should have more soldiers like you, Comrade Shulka!"
Kalashnikov then walked up to Shulka, who had followed him all the way here as a repairman on the amphibious landing ship.
"I think I should say goodbye to you here, Shulka!" Kalashnikov said.
"Yes, of course!" Shulka said.
In fact, it was Shulka's intention not to let Kalashnikov on board.
Mykhlis’s original intention was to let Kalashnikov and other maintenance personnel board the ship and sail with the troops to Feodosia... This is normal. What if something goes wrong with the amphibious landing ship?
Of course Shulka wouldn't let this happen.
You must know that this is Kalashnikov. What if something happens and no one develops the AK47?
So Shulka suggested to Mekhlis: "This kind of amphibious transport ship is very simple, and ordinary workers can do the maintenance work. It doesn't seem necessary to let scientists go with the troops. You know, they are
The person who develops the equipment, maybe I will think of something next time and need him to realize it!"
"Oh, yes!" Mahlis nodded: "That's right, Shulka, of course we can't let him take risks on the battlefield!"
"I've been thinking about a question, Shulka!" Kalashnikov stepped forward.
"What? About the production of improved amphibious landing craft?"
"No, Shulka!" said Kalashnikov, "remember what you told me last time at the train station?"
"Oh!" Shulka nodded: "That's nothing, Comrade Kalashnikov, that's just my guess!"
"But your guesses have always been accurate!" Kalashnikov said: "Do you really believe that they will attack Stalingrad?"
Shulka nodded slowly, but added: "But I'm not sure!"
"That's enough, Shulka!" Kalashnikov said: "So, how do you think we should prepare? Build fortifications? Store ammunition?"
Shulka didn't think that far. When he told Kalashnikov at the train station, his original intention was just to give him a heads up. It was from a friend's and personal point of view, and he wanted him to find someone as soon as possible or find someone to help him.
Opportunity to leave Stalingrad.
Unexpectedly, Kalashnikov understood this "preparation" as the "preparation" for the entire Stalingrad!
Shulka was a little helpless, but then he thought, why not? If you can make some preparations!
After thinking for a while, Shulka replied: "Yes, Comrade Kalashnikov, you are right, store food and ammunition. But not on the ground!"
"Isn't it stored on the ground?" Kalashnikov asked doubtfully: "You mean buried underground?"
"No, Comrade Kalashnikov!" Shulka replied: "I noticed that there are many factories in Stalingrad, and the factories have many sewers for discharging wastewater. Maybe you can't believe that if a war breaks out, these sewers will
It will become a good underground fortification for us. So..."
"I understand!" Kalashnikov 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 do it, you can only take it one step at a time.
