Mekhlis's headquarters was upstairs, and the layout was a bit like the headquarters, with maps, desks, sand tables, and even a projector......

But Shulka thought that these were more for show, and Mehris was afraid that he didn't know what to do with them.

"Where did the enemy go?" Shulka asked casually.

"It seems to be ......" Mehris flipped through the telegram, then drew one of them, and replied: "Zhankoy, they hit Zhankoy!" ”

"What?" Hearing this, Shulka couldn't help but be surprised: "They have already hit Zhankoy? ”

"Yes, what's the problem?" Mehris asked, puzzled.

Shulka found the location of Zhankoy on the map and said: "Comrade Mekhlis, Zhankoy has penetrated deep into the heart of the Crimea, which will cause great danger to our landing in the Crimea, and will even make it impossible for us to land in the Crimea!" ”

Mehris couldn't help but turn his gaze to Alexei.

"No, it can't be!" Alexei laughed: "Comrade Shulka, you may not know the terrain of Crimea. To the south of the Crimea was the fortress of Sevastopol, where there were strong fortresses and large-caliber artillery, and it was impossible for the enemy to take this fortress in a short time. To the east of it is the Kerch Peninsula, which is also easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they even form a left-right attack on the Germans! ”

Alexei was right, the terrain of the Crimean was like that.

The Sevastopol fortress was artificially constructed, while the Kerch Peninsula was natural, it was a peninsula within the Crimean Peninsula, and a hook protruding from the Crimean waist echoed the Caucasus...... The Kerch Strait, which is separated by only 4.5 kilometers at its narrowest point, can be hit by Soviet howitzers from the Caucasus to the Kerch Peninsula.

"I prefer to land on the Kerch Peninsula!" "We only need to cross the Kerch Strait, a distance of a few kilometers, we have prepared a lot of fishing boats, and we also have the assistance of the Navy......," Alexei said.

"You're thinking too optimistically, Comrade Major!" Shulka interrupted Alexei: "The battle may not be going the way you think!" ”

"You mean to say...... Will they take the Sevastopol fortress in a short time? Alexei laughed: "This is impossible, Comrade Captain! ”

"I'm talking about the Kerch Peninsula!" Shulka pointed to the map and said: "Of course the Germans will find a way to avoid the dilemma of being flanked from both sides, so they will quickly occupy the Kerch Peninsula!" ”

"No, Comrade Captain!" "We have 150,000 men defending the Kerch Peninsula, which is a narrow strip of land, and we have built several lines of defense along the terrain, not to mention that if the Germans attack the Kerch Peninsula, we will also have the option of landing from the fortress of Sevastopol......"

"If I were German!" Shulka said: "I will divide my troops into two lines, one south to attack the Sevastopol fortress, and the other to attack the Kerch Peninsula!" ”

"They can't do it, Captain!" Alexei laughed: "Their forces are not enough to attack in both directions at once!" ”

"For Sevastopol, the Germans could choose to only besiege and not attack!"

Alexei's smile quickly froze on his face...... From this point of view, this Alexei is at least a little inky, because he knows what Shulka is talking about.

Mehris, on the other hand, was at a loss, not understanding what this meant.

"The problem of the fortress of Sevastopol!" Shulka explained: "The reason is that although it is tight, it is only good for defense and not for attack, so the Germans only need to build a defensive line outside the fortress, and they do not need too many troops to solve the threat from the direction of Sevastopol!" ”

This has always been a flaw in the fortress, with more than enough defense and not enough offense.

For example, the Germans chose to besiege but not attack, and the strength of the troops in the fortress can almost be said to be wasted...... Is it still possible to let the soldiers of the fortress leave the strong fortress and attack the German lines? That would be exactly what the Germans wanted.

At the same time, if the Sevastopol fortress is surrounded, then it will no longer be suitable as a landing place for Soviet troops...... It is dangerous that troops cannot be deployed in a limited space, and as soon as they land, they will be surrounded and concentrated in the encircled area.

This is one of the reasons why modern warfare has been eliminated with fortresses, defense lines, etc.

"And then!" Shulka pointed to the Kerch Peninsula and said: "The Germans can concentrate their main forces to quickly break through the defenses of the Kerch Peninsula, and even the Germans only need to attack half of it, that is, the area around Lake Kayash, and it will be difficult for us to land on the Kerch Peninsula!" ”

The problem is the same as the problem of the landing in Sevastopol.

Once the Soviets lose half of the Kerch Peninsula, and the defensive line is still being compressed or unable to stop the advance of the German army, then the space for the Soviets to gain a foothold will become less and less, and it is very dangerous for a large force to carry out a landing, and it is very likely that the landing will give the enemy a head.

It is clear that Alexei thought the problem of landing too simply.

Perhaps, this is also the basis for Mehris and others to spend a few days in a hurry to "eradicate dissent...... Shulka believes that the situation would not have been so awkward if these few days had not been wasted.

The reason is simple, three days was enough for the Soviet troops to land several divisions or even more troops to Crimea and go into battle, after all, the Kerch Strait is only a strait a few kilometers wide.

Alexei was speechless, looking at the map in embarrassment, and then peeking at Mehris.

Mekhlis, of course, knew Alexei had lost.

He glared at Alexei dissatisfied, and then asked Shu Jinghuka, "The situation is terrible, isn't it?" ”

"Yes, Comrade Mehris!" Shulka replied.

"Maybe not as bad as you think!" Mehris laughed: "After all, you are Shulka, our 'breakout hero', what you can think of, the Germans may not be able to think of, can you?" ”

Alex chimed in: "Yes, the Germans will not necessarily divide their forces and choose to encircle Sevastopol!" ”

Shulka was noncommittal.

Because he knew that the German army was not as simple as they thought, and their commander was Manstein, known as the three famous generals of the German army.

"So!" "I think we should immediately cross the Kerch Strait and land in the Crimea, no problem, right?" Mekhlis said. ”

"Of course, Comrade Mehris!" Alexei replied.

While Shulka was silent, a communications soldier came in and delivered a telegram, reporting: "Comrade Mehris, the Germans have divided their forces into two directions, attacking Sevastopol and the Kerch Peninsula!" ”
