Katukov couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, and said: "When they attacked Feodosia?"
"Yes!" Shulka nodded and said: "If they cross the 46th Division's defense and attack us, we can launch a counterattack..."
"Then after defeating them, follow them to break through the 46th Division's defenses?"
"Yes!" Shurka said: "If it is at night, the Germans will not be able to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy at all, and we can even blend in with the Romanian army!"
"What does it mean to be in the Romanian army?" Katukov asked.
"Put on the uniform of the Romanian army!" Shurka explained: "Flee with the Romanian soldiers, and then hide in the German trenches..."
"Captain!" Lieutenant Colonel Gavrilov interrupted Shulka: "But how can we tell them apart? I mean, our people will also regard them as enemies. If we wear clothes at the same time in the dark,
Romanian soldier’s uniform!”
"We can use some agreements!" Shulka said: "For example, tie a white towel on the left arm!"
The officers didn't say anything, because although this was feasible, it actually had no effect... No one on the battlefield would carefully identify whether there was a white towel tied on the left arm. This was just a kind of psychological comfort.
After a moment of silence, Katukov said: "This is a good method. We can consciously drive the Romanians to the highlands on both sides, so we can easily capture these highlands and ensure the safety of the supply line!"
This is what Shulka thought.
You must know that the Romanian reinforcements are mountain brigades, and what the mountain brigades are best at is mountain combat.
On the other hand, once the Romanian army is defeated, a large number of deserters will flock to the highway, and the highway will be blocked. Therefore, there is no need for the Soviet army to "drive" it. The Romanian army will spontaneously flow towards the highlands on both sides...
…This is their way of survival, and of course they will not give up.
As a result, the Soviet soldiers who blended into the Romanian army had an opportunity to take advantage of it.
"Oh!" Lieutenant Colonel Zahakavich said: "I think we should prepare some Romanian military uniforms!"
"Leave this to others!" Katukov said: "It's not difficult!"
This is indeed not difficult. The reason is that the border between the Soviet Union and Romania has been constantly disputed in history. Just two years ago, the Soviet Union sent troops to occupy Bisabilaya in Romania... This is also the reason why Romania can become an ally of Germany and fight very hard.
one.
For these reasons, the Soviet Union knew the situation in Romania very well, not to mention military uniforms. With the Soviet industrial capacity, even temporary production would not be a big problem.
"The important thing is!" Katukov continued: "How can we ensure that the Romanians attack Feodosia instead of defending with the 46th Division!"
This is indeed a problem. Romania is a mountainous force, and rational commanders will let them garrison in the mountains instead of attacking a certain city.
"We can't guarantee it, Colonel!" Shulka said: "All we can do is give them some 'advice'!"
"Suggestions?" Katukov looked at Shulka in confusion, and then he understood what Shulka was referring to, and couldn't help but laugh: "Oh, Shulka, you can not only give us advice, but also
Enemy suggestion!"
When Katukov and others were formulating detailed plans, Shulka found Maihelis.
The headquarters of Mehelis also moved to Feodosia.
This is not because he is very brave, but because he is not used to staying on the ship... From this point, it can be seen that he does not know much about war.
Because as long as you have a little understanding of the battlefield, you will know that the battleship is the safest place at this time. You can advance, attack, retreat or defend. In the worst case, you can just turn around and return to the Caucasus.
But Mahlis didn't think so.
In his eyes, a target as big as a battleship is just a target for enemy aircraft. From time to time, German night fighters fly overhead, with roaring motors and the roar of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft cannons... It's so scary.
It's like standing naked in front of the enemy without cover.
It would be great to go ashore and find a safe place to hide. The enemy will not know where you are.
Of course, he would not have thought that if Feodosia was counterattacked by the enemy and the Soviet army was defeated, Feodosia would actually be surrounded by the German army and unable to fly.
Therefore, Machlis set up his headquarters in a bunker, which was originally a coastal defense artillery fortification built by the Soviet army. The concrete wall used to withstand naval guns was more than one meter thick.
"Comrade Shulka!" Seeing Shulka come in, Mahlis, who was holding a wine glass, happily waved to Shulka, then took a cup for Shulka, poured wine into it, and said: "
Do you know what this is? French champagne. I heard that the enemy likes to celebrate with champagne when they win... Now, we use champagne captured from the enemy to celebrate their defeat. This is very ironic, isn't it?"
The people around him couldn't help but laugh in agreement.
This is of course no problem for Mahlis. If it were anyone else, it might be a "potential enemy corrupted by hostile ideas."
Then Mahlis raised his cup, raised it in a circle, and shouted proudly: "Comrades, cheers to our victory and to the 'breakout hero' Shulka!"
"cheers!"
…
After taking a sip, Shulka put down his glass and said, "Comrade Mahlis, I think it's too early to celebrate victory!"
"Yes, of course!" Maihelis said: "We still have to drive the Germans out of the Soviet Union and completely eliminate these communists. Then it is time for us to celebrate our victory!"
Mahlis was already intoxicated with the victory in front of him and couldn't extricate himself.
He does seem to have reasons to be proud. After all, the results in front of him are not small. Not only did he successfully land in Feodosia, he also successfully rescued the Kerch Peninsula. The crisis in the Crimean Peninsula is also expected to be lifted.
The reported Maihelis was already an incredible victory.
"You are right, Comrade Maihelis!" Shulka said: "However, I think we should first consider driving the Germans out of Crimea!"
"Do you have a way to drive them out of Crimea?" Mae Helis's eyes couldn't help but light up.
At this time, he has tasted the sweetness of victory, so of course he will cooperate with Shulka unconditionally.
But then again, who doesn’t like winning?
"Yes, Comrade Mahlis!" Shulka said: "We have a plan, but of course, this plan requires your instructions!"
