"Dangerous?" The corners of Meheris's mouth rose as if the word was not in his dictionary at all, or that any danger the soldiers took was worth it for the sake of his own prestige.

Of course, Mehris wouldn't say that.

"Any danger is worth it, Comrade Shulka!" Mehris puffed up his chest as if he were bearing these dangers: "For it is for the sake of our homeland, for the reconquest of our land, for the purpose of driving the enemy out of our beautiful country!" So ......"

Mehris spread his hands towards the map.

"Obviously!" Shulka pointed to the map and said: "The Germans are undermanned, at least for now, because their vanguard must be divided into two lines, one to encircle Sevastopol, and the other to attack the Kerch Peninsula with all its might." No matter which way it goes, it will require a lot of troops......"

With that, Shulka turned his gaze to Alexei.

"Yes!" Alexei replied: "The troops they rushed to Sevastopol had one division, and the troops attacking Kerch had one division and were reinforced with some additional forces. Their follow-up troops are coming! ”

Shulka nodded.

This is the characteristic of German warfare, they usually put the fastest and most combat-ready mechanized troops in the front and break through as quickly as possible, so that the enemy has no time to prepare.

The side effect of this is that the forward forces will not be enough, and the follow-up troops will be left far behind, especially since the Germans have to divide their forces into two lines.

"In the direction of Kerch!" Shulka continued: "The Germans attacked Kerch with limited forces, and their main forces would necessarily advance along the Kerch Peninsula! ”

"Yes!"

There is no doubt that with 20,000 men against more than 100,000 Soviet troops, although the morale of the Soviet army is low and vulnerable, if the German army does not invest the main force, I am afraid that it will not be able to expand the results of the battle at all, and it is even very likely to be counterattacked by the Soviet army.

"So the defense of the rear of the German army must be empty!" Shulka said: "I mean in the rear in the direction of the Kerch Peninsula!" ”

"What do you mean......" Alexei had a look of horror in his eyes.

"Yes!" Shulka pointed to the map and replied: "I think we should land in Feodosia!" ”

Feodosia is a port city located at the junction of the Kerch Peninsula with the Crimea, and at the same time the narrowest part of the Kerch Peninsula...... It is only 16 kilometers from south to north.

In fact, this area is full of forests and ravines, and the actual access to the Kerch Peninsula is a narrow passage of several kilometers, which can be said to be the throat of the Kerch Peninsula.

"If we succeed in landing in Feodosia, then we will be able to split the German army in two and even encircle the German troops attacking the Kerch Peninsula inside the island!" Shulka said.

"But Feodosia has been occupied by the Germans!" Alexei objected: "We can't land!" ”

Landing warfare was difficult, even considered impossible, in this era, because it exposed itself to unobstructed sea, enemy artillery fire, and then had to go to the beach to face enemy machine guns.

In fact, these are not bad, because as Shulka said before, the German army is not strong enough and the rear is empty, and the same is true of Feodosia.

Even worse is the climate and the water......

"Comrade Shulka!" Alexei said: "You must know that the temperature is minus 40 degrees Celsius, and there is still a lot of wind and waves at sea, and in such a landing, our soldiers may be frozen in the ice at any time!" ”

Shulka did not speak, because this was what he called the danger, especially since the Soviet Navy lacked amphibious landing craft...... In fact, the Soviet Navy at this time basically did not have amphibious combat capabilities, mainly because the Soviet Union did not have the need for this.

To be precise, there is very little demand in this regard, and the Soviet Union is a continent as a whole, and there are very few battlefields that can be used for amphibious landing operations, so it is vigorously developing the army and artillery.

But now we have encountered a situation where amphibious operations are needed.

This question does not need to be answered by Shulka.

Mehris responded to Alexei's doubts......

"I just want to know if we have a chance of success!" Mehris asked.

"Yes, of course!" Alexei replied: "As the captain said, the Germans have only one battalion in Feodosia, and if we put enough troops to land there, we have the possibility of capturing it and winning the battle." But ......"

"That's enough, Comrade Alexei!" Mehris interrupted him, and then concluded: "Just do it, land in Feodosia!" ”

Shulka felt a little guilty because he knew what it meant, and he almost saw Soviet soldiers charging in assault boats and lifeboats in the wind and waves towards the enemy's garrisoned harbor.

Wind, rain, sea, bullets and shells, many of them died before they could get ashore.

Then, wave after wave of survivors jumped out of the boat and stepped on the sea to attack from the beach, enduring the bitter cold as they advanced, and it was not the enemy's fire that held them back, but the ice that quickly formed in the cold of their boots and pants soaked in the sea.

They may be able to rush some distance because their feet are already unconscious, and even these survivors may be victorious because they have absolute superiority in force and full cover from the navy and air force.

But even then, they couldn't save their legs...... They will die of hypothermia and risk amputation or even loss of life even if they are not injured.

Then McHelis made a call to the Navy.

This task is, of course, carried out by the Navy, and contact with the Navy is inevitable.

"You are mad, Comrade Mehris!" Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Kuznetsov, when he heard about this plan, objected without thinking about it: "The implementation of an amphibious landing operation in this situation? It's almost impossible to accomplish! ”

"But that's all we can do now!" Mehris replied: "And, that's our advantage, isn't it?" ”

"What?" Marshal Kuznetsov did not understand what Mekhlis meant: "What advantage? In this climate, an amphibious landing is an advantage? ”

"Yes, Comrade Marshal!" Mehris triumphantly said: "If even you think this plan is crazy and that it is impossible, then the Germans certainly do not think that we will do it, what do you think?" ”

Marshal Kuznetsov was speechless.

At this moment, Shulka thinks that Mehris is not so stupid, at least he knows how to study the psychology of the enemy...... However, this seems to be Mechlis's specialty.
