Under the cover of artillery fire, one by one amphibious landing craft slowly drove towards the port of Novorossiysk in the dark.

At this time, the port of Novorossiysk was very depressed, because after the Germans occupied the Soglione airfield, the Luftwaffe could take off and land at the Soglione airfield and bomb the port of Novorossiysk, which was 70 kilometers away, and there were even Seagull fighters that the Germans had just captured...... The German BF and F fighters seized the air supremacy, and the Seagull fighters piloted by the pilots of the client countries could come here to practice.

This forced the Soviet-Black Sea Fleet, as well as large and small ships, to retreat to the port of Poti, located in the heart of Transcaucasia.

The Black Sea Fleet was actually quite embarrassed in this battle.

The ground forces needed fleet support, and even the Kerch Strait needed a blockade by the Black Sea Fleet, but the Soviets did not have air supremacy...... In order not to be bombed, the fleet could only come up and withdraw, and then come up and withdraw, back and forth, I don't know how many times it ran back and forth.

Just like now, it was once again forced away by the Luftwaffe, and there were only a few fishing boats moored haphazardly on the beach in the harbor of Noda, gently swaying with the water.

Several shells flew into the city of Novorossiysk with a whistling sound, and the explosion immediately provoked a burst of screams and cries.

It was the German artillery in coordination with the flotilla: the flotilla fired wherever it went, attracting the enemy's attention and masking the sound of the flotilla's advance.

With a wave of Colonel Slein's hand, the German soldiers drove the amphibious landing ship ashore, and then the soldiers jumped down from the boat in groups and rushed towards the city with their guns in hand......

A few Soviet fishermen who were busy in the harbor did not understand what was happening when they saw the dark shadows passing in front of them, or they could also be said to be stupid, and watched this scene in a daze, until a group of patrolling Soviet soldiers were knocked down in the gunfire, and they hurriedly lay down on the ground.

Several German soldiers shone their flashlights at them as they passed by, shouting an order: "It's okay to lie on your stomach and don't move!" Then he walked away.

Of course, the Soviet people couldn't understand what the German soldiers shouted, but they could vaguely understand the meaning, so they lay on the ground and didn't dare to breathe.

The screams soon began one after another.

The people were awakened by the sound of artillery and ran out of their houses, they were not afraid that the Germans would hit here, because not long ago they had sent away groups of Soviet soldiers with their heads held high to the front, and they knew that tens of thousands of Soviet troops were in the west of the city, and they also knew that the headquarters of the Soviet army group was located in Novorossiysk...... So, it was safe here, and the Germans would have to step over the corpses of tens of thousands of Soviet soldiers if they wanted to get here, which was almost impossible.

The reason is known to all, the Soviet army was much stronger than the German army...... The arrival of Soviet troops was to drive these Germans out of the Caucasus.

So, before that, the people were invariably discussing how the Germans would be surrounded in Soglione and then be able to hold out for a few days.

But......

Shortly after these words were spoken, they were quickly awakened from their dreams by shells.

To make matters worse, as soon as I turned around, I saw groups of German troops rushing in from the direction of the port.

The contrast was so great that the people were so shocked that they could hardly believe their eyes, but they had to believe the reality in front of them, so they could only raise their hands in a panic or flee back to their rooms and shiver.

Qin Chuan poured into the city of Novorossiysk with his troops, and no matter where they went, they would split up a few people to enter the houses and search.

This is also one of the reasons why Qin Chuan chose to attack the city of Novorossiysk directly...... The German blitzkrieg was not afraid of the trenches or the Soviet army, but the street fighting in the city, and the Soviet army relied on the ruins of the city to drag the German army to death.

Of course, the Germans at this time did not have such worries, because the Soviet army had no defenses in the city of Novorossiysk at all, and the Germans advanced all the way to the center of the city and encountered only a few groups of troops guarding warehouses in the port.

Then, in a three-story villa in the north of the city, he finally encountered a little decent resistance.

Qin Chuan observed the battle situation with a telescope, and said to Eberhard beside him: "We may have stumbled into a big fish by mistake!" ”

"Why?" Eberhard asked.

"This group of Soviets has a lot of firepower!" Qin Chuan said: "And their marksmanship is also very accurate, which shows that this unit is well-trained...... This was not common in the Soviet army, they were most likely the guard unit of a certain officer! ”

Eberhard couldn't help but let out an "oh", of course, a guard unit of such size and quality would not be of low rank.

"Surround them and don't attack!" Qin Chuan ordered.

Qin Chuan is not worried that the big fish will run away, so it is not worth paying too many casualties for them, as long as the follow-up amphibious tank lands...... These officers are the turtles in the urn.

Qin Chuan guessed correctly, this independent villa with a garden fence was the headquarters of the 43rd Army, and the commander of the group army, Sergatskov, and the political commissar Tsygachev were in this villa.

"How did they end up here?" Sergatskov, who was holding a pistol, asked the staff officer with some irritation.

"We don't know, Comrade Sergatskov!" The staff officer replied: "But I heard that they landed in the harbor!" ”

Because the Germans moved too fast, the Soviet troops, who took control of the port as soon as they appeared in the night, did not even have time to make a phone call to report.

On the other hand, the explosion of shells masked the gunshots, so the command did not realize that the situation was wrong until it was surrounded by German troops.

"Order the troops to come back for reinforcements immediately!" Sergatskov ordered.

"The phone line is cut!" Staff Report.

Before he could finish speaking, it was pitch black, and the wires were apparently cut off.

"I don't think we can wait for reinforcements, Comrade Sergatskov!" Zigachev looked out and judged: "They are not a sneak attack by small troops!" ”

Sergatskov was silent, and he could see this.

If it had been a sneak attack by a small force, the Germans would have wanted to take the villa as soon as possible to end the battle and then retreat.

In fact, Sergatskov knew that the Germans could take the dacha if they wanted to, because the Germans had much more firepower than his guard company.

But the Germans didn't do that, they chose to surround the villa and then seemed to be waiting for something......

"Tank!" "They are waiting for tanks!" ”

"But how did their tanks come over?" Sergatskov asked.

"We forgot what they were doing in the Kerch Strait!" Tsygachev shook his head and said: "Comrade Sergatskov, they have a kind of boat that can travel on land and sea, and they also have similar tanks!" ”
