At the request of Mehris, the Black Sea Fleet immediately transferred a brigade to Temryuksky.

They looked radiant in black navy uniforms, carrying rifles and semi-automatic rifles, beanie hats, and long bullet pouches hanging from their shoulders and waists.

These units were called naval infantry brigades in the USSR...... In 1942, it was officially renamed the Marine Corps.

Although they were navy, they were used as infantry throughout the Soviet-German war, for example, most of the Primorsky Army Group in Odessa and Sevastopol was composed of naval soldiers, and even naval infantry brigades were included in the defense of Moscow.

Shulka knew something about this army in modern times, and knew that they were quite good in quality in the Soviet army, and even their combat effectiveness was comparable to that of the "Guards" units named after military merits in actual combat.

The main reason is that the navy usually selects soldiers with high cultural quality, such as high school and above, and the training and supply are relatively sufficient, especially when the naval infantry brigade is formed, it still draws 40,000 people from various fleets as the backbone, and expands on the basis of these backbones.

In contrast, the Soviet Army was mostly peasants with a low level of education, and there was definitely a gap in overall quality.

One thing that illustrates this is that by this time the Soviet army had already produced SVT semi-automatic rifles.

This semi-automatic rifle should be said to perform quite well, with a capacity of 10 rounds, the weight is similar to that of Mosin Nagant, but the rate of fire is much faster.

The problem is that it is difficult to maintain, so it is not popular with infantry and has less equipment...... The quality of the infantry was poor, and many of them had only basic shooting training, and of course could not carry out regular maintenance of the gun.

This is not the case with naval infantry brigades.

As a result, there are two completely different prices for the army and navy for the same piece of equipment.

Walking into the headquarters of Mehris was a rear admiral, who walked up to Mehris with a gloomy face, stood up and saluted, and said: "Comrade Mehris, the commander of the 5th Naval Infantry Brigade Vladimir reports to you!" ”

"Good!" Mehris was pretending to review the documents, and when he heard the report, he got up and invited Vladimir to come to the map, and then introduced Shulka, who was looking at the map: "Shulka, I brought the person you need, I think you should communicate!" ”

Then Mekhlis introduced Vladimir: "This is Comrade Shulka, I'm sure you know him, 'Breakout Hero'!" ”

Vladimir looked at Shulka unexpectedly, then shook Shulka's hand politely and said, "Yes, I heard of you, Captain!" ”

"It's an honor to meet you, Comrade General!"

"So!" After Mehris left, Major General Vladimir lowered his voice and asked Shulka: "Did you come up with this stupid plan?" ”

Shulka replied somewhat helplessly: "I'm afraid yes, Comrade General!" ”

Major General Vladimir let out a cold snort from his nose, did not hide the anger in his eyes, looked at Shulka fiercely, and said with a pun: "Very good, Captain!" I will remember you, and my troops! ”

Shulka knew what Major General Vladimir meant by this.

Obviously, the 5th Infantry Brigade of the Navy and even Marshal Kuznetsov did not approve of Shulka's plan...... This is normal, and no one will think that it is right to implement an amphibious landing in such a situation.

But they had to do it, because it was an order from the representative of the High Command, Mehris.

Otherwise, with Shulka as a captain, even if he is a "breakthrough hero", how can he mobilize a naval infantry brigade.

Shulka shrugged his shoulders indifferently and replied: "I know, Comrade General. There were a lot of people who remembered me, many more of them Germans, but quite a few of them died! ”

Major General Vladimir couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Shulka to answer like this, and at the same time, he also learned Shulka's courage for the first time.

In fact, this is all trivial for Shulka, at this time he has come out of the life and death of the battlefield several times, where will be intimidated by a few words from Major General Vladimir.

"Let's talk about your plan of attack, Captain!" Vladimir said sarcastically: "Others say that you are a genius of war, and I want to see how you want to plan this battle!" ”

"You have an air force, don't you?" Shulka asked.

"Yes!" Major General Vladimir replied: "Our Air Force once attacked Berlin, and I think you have heard about it too!" ”

This happened more than a month after the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, when 15 DB-3 bombers of the Naval Air Corps took off from Össel Island and flew long distances to Berlin (the distance between the two is 900 kilometers in a straight line, which is already the limit of the bomber's range, and a delay of even one second may not be able to return smoothly).

They then dropped 7,500 kg of bombs to Berlin, the capital of Germany.

The operation was more symbolic than practical, and the Soviets could use it to boost morale and discourage the Germans.

However, the effect was not ideal, because at that time, the Soviet army was completely retreating and hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands were surrounded and annihilated.

Thus, the slightest news of victory from the Navy could not dilute the blow caused by the defeat on the frontal battlefield.

"I know, Comrade General!" "But what I want to know more is how many planes you can fly and what type of aircraft they have!" Shulka said. ”

"Does it make a difference?" Major General Vladimir asked rhetorically: "I know what you want to do, Captain, you want to bomb Feodosia." I think I should remind you of one thing, Captain! The Germans had air supremacy, and it was impossible for us to carry out an effective bombing of Feodosia, because the Germans would find us and intercept and shoot down our bombers halfway! ”

In a way, Major General Vladimir was right, the Germans would have placed reconnaissance planes around the Kerch Peninsula, and they also had radars, which would be intercepted by Soviet bombers as soon as they spotted them.

But Shulka's idea certainly won't be so simple.

"We will organize a counteroffensive on the Kerch Peninsula, Comrade General!" Shulka said, pointing to the map.

"Counterattack?" Major General Vladimir couldn't help but laugh: "Who commands?" Kulik? I heard that he has fled to Moscow! ”

One of the reasons why the Soviet Navy generally looked down on the Army was that the Army had many commanders like Kulik.

"It doesn't matter who commands, Comrade General!" "It is important that a group of our fighters will arrive from Moscow, and then we will throw them into the Kerch counteroffensive...... Do you understand what I mean? ”

Major General Vladimir couldn't help but be stunned, he had already begun to think that this battle might be a fight.
