Igor's method really worked. With the efforts of the Soviet soldiers, they built rafts at the fastest speed and then drifted into the sea.

Although it is slow and drifts for a long time at sea, it does not need to wait for death or be captured in Sevastopol.

But the others are not so lucky...

News of the withdrawal of senior Soviet commanders spreading in Sevastopol like a plague, which seriously hit the morale of the Soviet army. So the battle soon tilted one-sidedly towards the German army, and the forts were captured one by one by one, and then the German army rushed in from the gap in the defense line.

The First Infantry Regiment entered Sevastopol before all the troops.

Of course, they entered when the Third Battalion arrived and had replenished the ammunition.

Originally, everyone thought that there would be a tragic street battle when entering Sevastopol, but unexpected facts were not the case... The soldiers of the First Infantry Regiment just fired a few shots into the building, and then groups of Soviet soldiers raised their hands and walked out of the building to surrender.

Occasionally, you can hear a few sparse gunshots from the city, which seems a bit strange, because the First Infantry Regiment arrived first, so there shouldn't be any battle in the city.

Later, Qin Chuan realized that this was the preparation for surrender of the Soviet soldiers... In this case, few people would be willing to continue fighting this war, but the Soviet soldiers understood that the political commissar and instructors would not let them surrender, even though the political commissar and instructors were also abandoned by senior officers.

This does not mean that these political workers have advanced ideas and firm positions, but because they clearly know that even if they surrender to the Germans, there will be no way out. Everyone knows that the Germans will shoot them after capturing political workers.

Therefore, even for their own interests, they would hope to tie the Soviet soldiers to fight to the last moment.

But the Soviet soldiers were unwilling to accompany them to wait for death, so they started a conflict before the Germans arrived... The Soviet soldiers launched a riot to kill these political workers or capture them, while some political workers committed suicide in despair.

So, you can see corpses in the corner of the wall holding a bullet hole in the head of the pistol. Some people choose to commit suicide with grenades, but this is obviously a stupid method, because Su-style wooden grenades have uncertainty. Sometimes the exploded shrapnel just avoid the vital parts and only harm them. The painful wail makes people feel a little unbearable when they hear it, until several German soldiers walked up to help him solve the pain.

More than half an hour later, several German troops arrived in Sevastopol and ended the battle.

When Colonel Qinchuan and Colonel Slein returned to the command to report to Manstein, Manstein excitedly said to the two: "Do you know? At least ten turrets are intact, and some of them can be used only if they need a little repair. There is also an ammunition depot, which contains thousands of large-caliber shells, and more importantly, the power station, which is intact... Do you know what this means? These turrets belong to us!"

Of course Qin Chuan knew what this meant.

You should know that they are giant cannons with a range of 44 kilometers. With them, on the one hand, they can directly shell the Kerch Peninsula on the other side, and on the other hand, they can block the Soviet warships on the sea... Even if the Soviet army sent the battleships of the Black Sea Fleet, it would be helpful.

(Note: The Black Sea Fleet has a battleship "Paris Commune" with four triple-mounted 305MM main guns, but the launch rate at sea is very low and cannot fight against dozens of 305MM main guns on the shore)

"Also!" said Manstein, in a low voice, and said to the two of them: "I have reported what you have done to Marshal Von Bock. Do you know how he answers?"

As he said that, Manstein imitated Feng Bock's slightly hoarse voice and expression and said, "Oh, is it? They actually did it?"

Manstein raised his head at the two of them and said, "I think you must want to see his expression at this time!"

"Of course!" Qin Chuan and Slein answered, and then the three of them laughed at the same time.

At this time, Feng Boke was indeed a little embarrassed, because the performance of the First Infantry Regiment was so eye-catching and it also proved that his previous view was wrong.

However, Feng Bock was a professional soldier after all, and he quickly asked Manstein to give a detailed report on the entire battle process, especially the role of the new rifle in combat... He wanted to know whether this victory was the reason for the First Infantry Regiment or the new rifle.

The report was soon delivered to Feng Boke, and he nodded repeatedly while flipping through the report.

Sometimes, he couldn't tell whether it was the First Infantry Regiment or the Rifle more important, or it could be said that both were important.

After reading it, Von Bock was stunned for a while, then called Colonel Conrad and said, "I heard you have a new rifle?"

"Yes, Lord Marshal!" Conrad replied: "MP43!"

"Very good!" said Feng Bock: "How many of you have?"

"There are about seven thousand left!" Conrad replied.

The First Infantry Regiment was equipped with more than 2,000 pieces, and some were left for the First Infantry Regiment to be spared.

"I want all!" said Feng Bock: "In addition, I hope you can produce in large quantities!"

"Can you say more in detail, Your Excellency Marshal!" Conrad asked: "What is the specific number?"

"If possible!" said Von Bock: "I mean, if there is no problem in trying it for a while, I might replace all the rifles with it!"

When Conrad heard this, he opened his mouth wide for a long time and couldn't speak. This almost means that K98K will be eliminated and MP43 will be mass-produced.

In fact, this is not surprising, especially in Feng Boke's report that the First Infantry Regiment was able to defeat two regiments of the 138th Brigade of the Soviet Army in half an hour... Although this is due to the military quality of the First Infantry Regiment and the factors of being prepared to fight, it is obvious that MP43 is also one of the reasons.

However, it is difficult to do a large-scale replacement in a short period of time. This involves small output and large army size, as well as training issues after equipment, so MP43 can only be used to replace the submachine gun.

Of course, Von Bock would not tell Manstein about these things, that if he did this, he would actually give in in disguise.

So, when he called Manstein later, he said in a stern tone: "General, Sevastopol fought beautifully in this battle, but... our goal is that the entire Kerry Peninsula, the Soviets still have four armies on the Kerch Peninsula. You cannot take it lightly, and you must annihilate them in a short time, do you understand?"
