At the airfield in Severodonetsk, a total of more than two hundred aircraft are waiting for orders. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info There are large transport planes, bombers, fighters and gliders.

One hundred and eighty aircraft are loaded with cargo, and forty more fighters will be involved in the escort.

In the original plan, the number of various cargo planes was not so large, and the plan was revised again and again, and in order to transport the items on the list to the destination as much as possible, the ground staff at the airport could only copy as much as possible. But a lot of problems also arose in the loading of cargo, and the military had to make several adjustments to the list of goods.

It was originally planned to transport a few farm tractors over, but it was too heavy for the parachute to avoid a hard landing. Airdropped a few months ago, there was a light tank that was broken in this way.

If agricultural machinery is needed for reclamation, it is better to transport more fuel and let the existing BT tanks in the swamps be used as tractors, dragging heavy plows to run as much as possible.

During the entire period of material handling, the paratrooper regiment, which was to be airdropped into the swamp, also made a temporary cameo appearance as a porter.

Brigade Commander Teplov, Deputy Brigade Commander Besonov and Brigade Commissar Zalasky even took up the work themselves.

Since the birth of the paratrooper class, they have been known as elite troops, and this is true in all nations. There is no other reason, just to get a soldier to overcome his fear of heights and use a parachute, which is very difficult.

It can be said that the Soviet military spent much more energy on each paratrooper than ordinary soldiers.

The 233rd Paratrooper Brigade will take part in the operation and eventually complement the 284th Guards Division, which is strong in combat but lacks troops, as elite infantry. This paratrooper brigade was attached to the Second Paratrooper Army, which was the elite paratrooper unit of the Soviet Union.

In November 1941, in order to recapture the Kerch Peninsula and annihilate the German forces in Feodosia, a battalion of the 214th Brigade under the command of the Second Paratrooper Army reinforced it. Their mission was to seize the bridgehead west of Kerch, but the landing force was trapped by sea ice, and the airborne destination had to be changed. The paratroopers were given new missions and successfully completed them, eventually merging into the ground forces as elite soldiers.

Yang Mingzhi's conjecture about the paratroopers descending on the swamp has been confirmed on the battlefield of the Kerch Peninsula.

Just on the surface, it looked like a large-scale parachute landing, which took the German army by surprise and even led to a series of chaos. The German army, which had been methodically preparing to fight across the Kerch Peninsula and into the Caucasus, was in chaos for a while.

Although the paratroopers did not occupy the bridgehead, the German panic they brought objectively supported the landing operation of the Soviet 44th Army. However, the army group ultimately failed to defend Sevastopol and was completely annihilated by the Germans.

This was the largest landing operation of the Great Patriotic War launched by the Soviet troops, who recaptured the Kerch Peninsula and formed the Crimean Front.

More than two months have passed since this operation, and the situation of the war has changed dramatically, Odessa has long since fallen, Simferopol has also fallen, and the current Soviet strongholds in the Crimea are only Sevastopol, Sapen Mountain, Yalta and part of the Kerch Peninsula.

The Soviets were desperately trying to deliver supplies to Sevastopol by land and sea, and to bring civilians and the wounded back to the Caucasus.

On this battlefield, Pavlichenko was originally subordinate to the Southwestern Front, and now her troops were incorporated into the new Crimean Front. Heroic snipers are still defending Sevastopol! Her record is also increasing day by day.

But as the commander of the Front, Timoshenko had to think about leading the entire Southwestern Front in a strategic counterattack. He can understand the intentions of the leader, and the current large-scale counteroffensive of more than a million people in the entire front army is suspended, which is preparing for a completely new counteroffensive!

His friendly army became the Crimean Front, and since the leader desperately wanted the Soviets to recover the whole of Crimea, his commissioner Mehris almost replaced the commander Kozlov, and one front was commanded by a layman who did not understand military command, and Timoshenko could not help but feel a little pessimistic about the prospects.

In many cases, it was the stupid command of the Soviet army that led to a catastrophic rout. Like the famous idiot Pavlov, whose inaction led to the almost total annihilation of the North-Western Front, there was also a good thing, that is, the 284th Guards Division, which stood out in the war, became its own unit.

Therefore, Timoshenko refused to continue to send his paratroopers to the Crimea. First, there are more than 200,000 Soviet troops there, and second, it makes sense to let the elite paratroopers be commanded by idiots, and let them commit suicide.

Let the paratrooper 233 brigade parachute into the Plippet swamp and put it under the command of the elite 284 Guards Division, which will definitely be able to exert greater power.

He explained the plan to Stalin, and at first the iron comrade was somewhat disgusted, but Timoshenko proposed new possibilities and directly convinced him.

That is, sooner or later the troops will have to carry out a counteroffensive, and instead of letting the paratroopers continue to hold their ground, it is better to send the starting point to the key area, and the best area at the moment is the Plippet swamp. Since that Guards force was able to annihilate the German army of 7,000 men, they could even threaten Kyiv after being replenished with troops. Once this most important logistics center of the German army is threatened, it will objectively have a huge positive impact on the entire war situation in Ukraine.

Timoshenko's plan to send paratroopers was immediately approved, and the world was changed as a result.

In the original plane, when the Soviet army counterattacked Kiev in September 1943, in order to seize the Dnieper bridgehead, the Second Army dispatched three brigades, which was almost the entire strength of this force. However, due to a change of plans, only two brigades were involved in the operation, including the 233rd Brigade. In the end, this was a crushing defeat for the Soviet army, many people were thrown into German positions, many drowned in the Dnieper, and only more than 2,000 people fled into the forest.

In this operation, the Soviet paratroopers did almost nothing, and these elite units were wasted greatly and senselessly because of serious mistakes by the command level.

Joining Yang Mingzhi did not come to this time and space, then what awaits the paratrooper 233 brigade will be the fate of death. This butterfly surnamed Yang made a stir in the Plipert swamp, and it also objectively changed the fate of this paratrooper brigade.

Compared to the original plane, Timoshenko was a little more daring, and once the airdrop operation was successful, then he was even willing to send the entire paratrooper army to the swamp, provided that the conditions there were really enough to feed another 10,000 soldiers.

Strategically, Plipett Swamp is beginning to show that it has a lot of value, and personally, he has a reason to increase his staff.

Hidden there were a Berekov, who made advanced weapons to defeat the German panzer division, Yelentina of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the legal Belarusian city council of Gomel. There are heroes, there are soldiers, there are municipal organizations, there are people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there is part of the Byelorussian Soviet Republic! And, of course, there's an unusually young hero there.

The 25th Infantry Division, to which the sniper hero Pavlyuchenko originally belonged was under the command of the Southwestern Front, but now it is part of the friendly army. Fortunately, another shining star is rising, and Spiroskina, who is not yet seventeen years old, is also known as Natasha. Her record is soaring like crazy, and because this is the record of the 284th Division, the Ministry of Internal Affairs agrees, and the Gomel City Committee proves that it is statistically more authoritative.

To return Pavlyuchenko to a safe place, it is only necessary for a submarine or boat to go to Sevastopol. But it was extremely difficult to bring Sparoskina to the rear.

Timoshenko knew very well that the troops needed a hero of their own, and the Southwestern Front already had many combat heroes, but the only one who had killed nearly two hundred enemies was the underage girl!
