Things went much faster than expected, and after 28 hours 100 amphibious landing vehicles had been produced and delivered to the Navy's infantry brigade, and finally 20 more, so the Navy temporarily added two additional transport ships and two landing companies. (Note: One transport ship can carry ten amphibious landing vehicles)

"Are you all ready?" Mehris asked.

"Yes, Comrade Mehris!" Major General Vladimir stepped forward to answer.

"Clarify your mission again!" "The fleet is on standby at Anapa, and when ordered to do so, it will immediately go to Feodosia to attack it," Mehlis said. The first was the naval landing force, which seized the beachhead to cover the landing of the 5th Naval Infantry Brigade and captured the entire city as quickly as possible, and then the 1st Guards Tank Brigade...... A little to ensure the safe landing of the 1st Tank Guards Brigade and their equipment, understand? ”

"Yes, Comrade Mehris!"

Mehris's words were taken aback, for the whole plan was clear and reasonable, like the words of a battle-hardened general.

However, Major General Vladimir knew what was going on, and he glanced at Shulka, who was standing beside Mehris, and his face was a little unnatural.

Troops and amphibious transports were then 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 were no problems with the departure from Temryuksky.

But now it is in Feodosia...... If it were still from Temryuksky, it would mean that a large number of ships of the Navy would have to pass through the narrow Kerch Strait and then go to their destination.

This was obviously more dangerous, and it was easy for the Luftwaffe to detect and intercept, so the plan was changed to Anapa.

From Anapa, there was a vast Black Sea, and it was not easy for German fighters to find a convoy in it.

When he arrived in Anapa, Major General Vladimir asked Shulka with some doubts.

"You don't seem to be angry about it at all?" said Major General Vladimir.

"What? Why be angry? ”

Major General Vladimir shrugged his shoulders, handed a cigarette and said: "You know what I'm talking about!" ”

Major General Vladimir did not dare to say it explicitly.

It's not that he doesn't believe Schulka, it's that he doesn't dare to guarantee that there is an eyeliner of the "king of small reports" nearby.

Shulka understood, he smiled, took the cigarette, and replied, "Otherwise, what can we do?" Let him command the battle? And then let your soldiers attack the Germans in batches across knee-deep or even waist-deep waters? Falling to the guns of the enemy in batches or freezing to death in the sea? ”

Vladimir nodded: "So, I should thank you!" We owe you a favor, me and my soldiers...... We'll remember that! ”

Shulka couldn't help laughing: "General, this is the second time you have said such a thing!" ”

Only then did Major General Vladimir remember 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 a little: "But this time I remember it is different from the last time!" ”

"This is what I should do!" Shulka replied: "For the USSR!" ”

"For the USSR!" Major General Vladimir nodded with emotion: "Our troops should have more soldiers like you, Comrade Shulka!" ”

Then Kalashnikov walked up to Shulka, who followed him all the way as a maintenance crew for an amphibious landing ship.

"I think I should say goodbye to you here, Shulka!" Kalashnikov said.

"Yes, of course!" Shulka said.

In fact, not letting Kalashnikov get on board is what Shulka meant.

Mekhlis's original intention was to have Kalashnikov and other maintenance crews on board the ship and sail with the troops to Feodosia...... This is normal, what if something goes wrong with the amphibious landing ship?

Shulka certainly wasn't going to let that happen.

You know, this is a Kalashnikov, what if something happens and no one develops the AK47?

So Shulka suggested to Mehris: "This kind of amphibious transport ship is very simple, and the maintenance work can be done by ordinary workers, and it seems that there is no great need for scientists to go with the troops." You know, they're the ones who develop equipment, and maybe next time I'll think of something I need him to do! ”

"Oh yes!" Mehris nodded, "That's right, Shulka, of course we can't let him risk on the battlefield!" ”

"I've been thinking about one thing, Shulka!" Kalashnikov stepped forward.

"What? About the production of improved amphibious landing ships? ”

"No, Shulka!" Kalashnikov said: "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 guess has always been accurate!" Kalashnikov said: "Do you really believe that they will attack Stalingrad? ”

Shulka nodded slowly, but added, "I'm not really sure though!" ”

"That's enough, Shulka!" Kalashnikov said: "So, what do you think we should do to prepare?" Fortifications? Stockpiling ammunition? ”

Shulka didn't think that far ahead, and the original intention he told Kalashnikov at the train station was only to remind him that he wanted to leave Stalingrad as soon as possible or as a chance from a friend's point of view.

Unexpectedly, Kalashnikov understood this "preparation" as the "preparation" of the whole of Stalingrad!

Shulka was a little helpless, but on second thought, why not? If only you could do some preparation!

Thinking about it, Shulka replied: "Yes, Comrade Kalashnikov, you are right, storing food and ammunition. But not on the ground! ”

"Not stored on the ground?" Kalashnikov asked suspiciously: "You mean buried in the ground?" ”

"No, Comrade Kalashnikov!" Shulka replied: "I noticed that there were many factories in Stalingrad, and the factories had many sewers for draining wastewater. Maybe you can't believe it, but in the event of war, these sewers will be good underground fortifications for us. So ......"

"I see!" Kalashnikov nodded: "I hope I can convince them, I mean, it's just your guess, and although I believe it, they don't necessarily believe it!" ”

"I understand!" Shulka expressed understanding.

Of course, it's good to be able to do it, but if you can't do it, you can only take one step at a time.
