Chapter 396: Preparation

Preparation is a two-step process:

Rear Admiral Vladimir was responsible for the training of the 5th Infantry Brigade of the Navy.

Of course, this training is divided into two steps, the first day is the training of the Navy in preparation for the amphibious landing at night, and the second day is the training of use after the landing ship comes out.

Although the training time is only two days, it is enough.

On the one hand, this is due to the fact that the training of the naval infantry brigade was already quite good, and all they lacked was experience in preparing for a night landing, and now it only takes a little adaptation.

On the other hand, the dark nights of the Soviet winter were fifteen or six hours long, that is, they could train for more than ten hours a day, and they were used for sleeping during the day.

These are the little things that can be solved, and everyone is focused on the amphibious landing ship proposed by Shulka, because it is directly related to the casualties of the 5th Infantry Brigade of the Navy and even the success or failure of the beach-grabbing landing operation.

Production equipment is basically not a problem, the Caucasus is an industrial area of the Soviet Union, there are many factories here, such as shipyards, automobile factories, etc., the most of which is the oil industry.

In fact, the reason why these factories are concentrated here is because of the inexhaustible supply of oil in Baku...... Having a factory here has the advantage of cheap fuel and easy transportation, which is important in an era when production is mainly fuel-dependent.

If anything, the car factories are concentrated in the area of Baku, some distance from Temryuksky.

But none of these difficulties were anything to Mehris, who had the needed auto parts flown in from Stalingrad with a phone call, and even brought a group of technicians.

And then it was immediately started, and Kalashnikov directed the technicians to first reinforce the parts of the wheels on which the hull was to be installed...... Unlike a car, the hull does not need to be strong to carry the load accordingly, but the wheels are only mounted on four points, and if they are not reinforced, they will quickly break or sag.

After that, the wheels are welded to the reinforcement part, and after the completion is completed, a motorcycle engine is added to drive the wheels to rotate, and the braking device is even very primitive friction resistance.

Then add the counterweight...... Things like engines are mainly installed at the rear of the hull, which makes the hull heavy and light while in the water.

However, this counterweight was soon replaced by something else.

"This counterweight is a waste!" Shulka said: "Why don't we replace it with a heavy machine gun? If that's not enough, add a shield! ”

"Good idea, Shulka!" Kalashnikov's eyes widened when he heard this.

Soon, there was an extra machine gun with a shield in the bow, and even an additional layer of armor was added to the bow.

Soon a strange thing appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and to be honest, it was indeed ugly, like a ship on the chassis of a car, some of which were not degenerate, and it was obvious at a glance that it was shoddy.

"This is the amphibious landing ship used to attack Feodosia?" Mehris looked at it with some disbelief: "It doesn't even have a steering wheel!" ”

Major General Feradimir also looked helpless, in his eyes, this thing was like something cobbled together when a child pretended to be a family.

On the contrary, Kalashnikov's face was full of excitement and anticipation: "Yes, I know, why don't we try?" ”

As he spoke, Kalashnikov waved his hand at the technician.

But that group of technicians, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to come forward.

Mehris couldn't help laughing: "Look, comrade, none of the people who produced it dared to use it!" ”

There's something unusual about Mehris's behavior, and as a commander, you should be frustrated when you know that the plan might go wrong, rather than take it as a joke.

However, it is only normal for this abnormal performance to happen to Mehris.

"Okunev!" Shulka shouted to the side.

"Yes, Comrade Captain!" The actor immediately stepped forward with a dozen soldiers, and then pushed the amphibious landing ship into the sea.

"Look!" Mehris nodded approvingly: "This is our soldiers, the soldiers of the 1st Guards Tank Brigade, they are the reason for the victory!" ”

After the amphibious landing ship was launched, it looked normal, because the wheels and chassis had been submerged under the water and could not be seen, at this time it looked like a ship, an ordinary lifeboat, if there was any difference, there was a heavy machine gun in front.

Then, the actor drove it farther away, then turned around the sea and drove to the shore as fast as he could, and then saw the hull of the boat getting higher and higher, and soon rushed out of the water to the shore with a "bang" in the sound of the motor......

A group of soldiers and technicians who watched the excitement took refuge because the amphibious landing ship could not control its direction, and whoever ran over it was unlucky.

It took a while for the amphibious landing ship to stop under the control of the actors, and then there was a burst of cheers from everyone, especially Kalashnikov, who excitedly hugged Shulka and shouted: "It's done, we've done it!" I'll just say it works! ”

Mehris was a little puzzled, he looked at the crowd and asked with a puzzled expression, "Is this called success?" ”

"Yes, Comrade Mehris!" Major General Vladimir nodded and explained: "They did succeed, because ...... This thing will keep my soldiers from frostbite and freezing to death when attacking the enemy, and it can even increase our attack speed, firepower, and defense! ”

Mehris nodded as if he didn't understand, then patted Shulka on the shoulder and said, "Yes, I said you can do it, Comrade Shulka!" ”

"I can't guarantee it's safe!" Shulka said to Major General Vladimir: "To be exact, it is dangerous, mainly because of the inability to control the direction, which has the potential to cause it to hit something and even run over the soldiers who have landed and are fighting, but we seem to be able to do this now!" ”

"I know!" Major General Vladimir nodded: "However, these dangers are insignificant compared to wading through the sea water and freezing to death, do you say?" ”

Shulka nodded in agreement, nothing could be scarier than cold in these temperatures.

"Great, Shulka!" Kalashnikov seems to have been completely intoxicated by the amphibious landing ship itself, and not by the war.

"You know what? I think we should improve it! Kalashnikov said.

"Yes!" "For example, we can add a steering control system to it, and we can also integrate its two engines into one, so that it can really be amphibious......
