Chapter five hundred and eighty first plan

I got angry with my child today, and I only had one update, sorry!

*********************

However, things were not as smooth as Werner and others imagined.

In the early morning of the next day, as the German soldiers were pushing forward non-stop, it suddenly started to rain like a pouring rain in the sky.

"This is not a good thing!" Qin Chuan said as he took out the poncho from his bag and put it on himself, and the soldiers followed suit.

But this is actually unnecessary, because the soldiers will soon fall into a water siege, and the poncho will not play any role.

Sure enough, the convoy stopped after walking for more than ten minutes. The driver poked his head out of the cab and shouted: "The front is blocked, it is said that the road is destroyed by mud and water!"

"When can we keep moving forward?" Werner asked.

"God know!" the driver replied: "Wait behind!"

The baker couldn't help but complain in a hurry: "Are our engineers all asleep?"

"This is not about the engineering squad!" Qin Chuan replied: "The peninsula was already wet and muddy, but now it is raining heavily again, and the engineers can do nothing unless they can build a bridge to directly lead to Kerchi Port!"

The soldiers heard this and there was no sound.

The facts proved that Qin Chuan was right, because the rain with yellow mud quickly spread to Qin Chuan and others' feet, but at this time the convoy slowly started to move.

"Keep going!" The soldiers heard Bazer's voice in the rain curtain ahead.

The most important thing about blitzkrieg is speed, so no matter whether it is day or night, whether it is wind or rain, there will be no time to rest, even if it is difficult to move forward.

The car started and drove slowly forward. From time to time, a car was stuck in mud and water next to the highway and needed soldiers to push forward. Occasionally, another tank was trapped, so I simply gave up... No one could push the tank. Usually, in this case, it should be towed by another or two tanks, but now everyone knows that if they do this, other tanks will be trapped in mud and water at the same time.

These scenes made the soldiers a little scared because they knew that it meant that the car they were sitting in was probably not spared.

Sure enough, the car slipped in the mud and water a few minutes later, and then it got deeper and deeper.

"Get out of the car, boys!" The driver poked his head out and shouted to the back: "The car has carried you through the first half. Now, it's time for you to carry it through the second half!"

This seemed to make sense, so the soldiers got out of the car silently and pushed the car forward.

The rotten mud water splashed around under the rotation of the car wheels, quickly making everyone pushing the cart in a mess.

Sadly, the car always comes out of this pit and falls into another pit. The soldiers can only do this seemingly meaningless action over and over again.

"Why don't we just throw these vapors on the side of the road and walk to Kerch Port?" Werner complained.

"Because our ammunition is on the car!" Qin Chuan replied: "If you can carry these ammunitions on your shoulders or think you can take Kerchi without the need for them, then you can choose to do this!"

"Okay!" Werner replied: "I'm just worried that if we continue like this, we will no longer have the strength to attack when we arrive in front of the enemy!"

"Don't worry!" Dominic replied: "You just need to have the strength to accept their surrender!"

The soldiers burst into laughter.

But Qin Chuan was not as optimistic as the soldiers.

If it weren't for this rain, the scene Dominic said might indeed have happened... The 46th Soviet Army stationed in Kerch Port was attacked by the "Grodek" motorcycling brigade without preparation, and it would collapse on the whole line in a short time.

But now, this heavy rain gave the Soviet army time to prepare.

Qin Chuan guessed right. Kozlov, who had originally planned to give up, saw hope after the heavy rain. He immediately cheered up and said to Mechlis: "Comrade Mechlis, this may be our last chance. I need to transfer a tank brigade from the Taman Peninsula, and also need the support of the air force. Only in this way can the 46th Army block the German attack!"

Mehlis was silent for a while. After receiving Stalin's telegram, he knew that he could not cut the Krim Peninsula Battle, which meant that his destiny was tied to the Krim Front. So he nodded and said, "Tell me your plan, Comrade Kozlov!"

"Build a line of defense in front of Kerch Port!" Kozlov said: "The 46th Army has 60,000 people, and our strength is comparable to that of the Germans. The Germans' advantages lie in aircraft and tanks. If we can compete with the Germans in these two aspects, I mean... As long as we persist for a while, the Germans will soon lose their combat effectiveness due to insufficient ammunition!"

"Yes!" Mechlis looked at Kozlov with his eyes glowing: "Although our three armies cannot get supplies, the Germans cannot get them either. At that time, we will not only not be defeated, but will instead be able to encircle and annihilate the three divisions that broke into our defense line!"

"Yes, Comrade Mechlis!" Kozlov replied: "In fact, our three armies are not completely inaccessible. We have the Black Sea Fleet. The intelligence shows that the Germans have transferred their main force to the direction of Kharkov, which shows that the Germans have insufficient fighter jets in the direction of Krim. Moreover, their fighter jets have to deal with our aircraft on the one hand, and on the other hand, they have to cooperate with the troops to attack, so they have no time to take care of the sea... In this way, the Black Sea Fleet can provide us with firepower support and even transport supplies to the three armies besieged by sea. In other words, as time goes by, the balance of victory will tilt towards us little by little!"

"Very good, Comrade Kozlov!" said Mehlis: "A good plan. As long as we unite and face the enemy bravely, we will definitely annihilate these fascists. I will report to Stalin immediately to ask him to reinforce us. You are responsible for organizing the defense of the 46th Army. Of course, I will also report your performance to Comrade Stalin!"

These words made Kozlov's blood boil, and he instantly felt like he was clearing the clouds and seeing the blue sky. Without saying a word, he started to organize the 46th Army to build fortifications according to Mechlis' order.

When Kozlov was still too young in politics.
