At 11 o'clock in the evening on the third day of the capture of the port of Kerch, the assault team was ready in Pongy, on the southern outskirts of Kerch.

The commandos are divided into two parts:

Part of it is made up of mountain divisions...... In a way, it would be a waste to put mountain divisions into an amphibious landing war, and their specialty was the mountain and they were thrown into the sea.

But on the one hand, this was a helpless move, and on the other hand, they were not the leading troops, the vanguard was the amphibious tanks of the 22nd Panzer Division and the 32nd Infantry Regiment in coordination with them. The role of the mountain division in this is actually to make subsequent landings and control the situation on the battlefield.

The other part is the First Infantry Corps, which is five kilometers away.

It was clear that the 1st Battalion was the main force of the battle, and that they would avoid the landing ground and go straight to Soglione in the heart of the Taman Peninsula.

At 12 o'clock in the evening, the amphibious tank was launched first.

This is because amphibious tanks can travel at a speed of only 5 kilometers per hour, and a distance of 10 kilometers takes them two hours, and in order to be able to land at almost the same time, the tank needs to be one hour ahead.

Of course, these tanks are also coordinated by infantry cover.

At 1 o'clock, the first corps was launched.

It has to be said that the convenience of amphibious landing ships is undoubted, if you use other ships, the beach at this time is afraid that it will be busy, and it is necessary to carry supplies to the ship and push the boat into the water, in addition to the need for cars to help transport heavy equipment such as artillery and other things.

But with the amphibious landing ship, all these can be saved, because these things have been shipped directly from the base, and there is only one thing for the first corps to do...... One by one, the amphibious landing ships were driven into the sea.

There is only one thing to pay attention to, you must be careful when going to sea, you must slowly let the hull contact the seawater, too fast will lift a large amount of seawater into the hull, which will wet the equipment, ammunition and may sink the amphibious landing ship instantly.

Of course, this is not happening here, and one of the reasons may be that the drivers are very new to this new equipment...... People sometimes have this strange mentality, and they will maintain enough patience and awe of unfamiliar things, and when they are familiar with it to a certain extent, it doesn't matter.

After the amphibious landing ship reaches the sea, it switches to the HNA mode, and the engine drives the screw propeller to push the hull forward.

A gust of sea breeze made Qin Chuan feel a little relaxed, if it weren't for the fact that a few shells flew around and exploded on the opposite side of the strait from time to time, and the soldiers on the boat all had serious expressions, Qin Chuan would really think that this was a fishing trip.

Perhaps the explosion of the shells served as a cover, and the Soviets never noticed the movement on the sea.

This was actually a tactic of the Germans, who never stopped firing at the opposite side from the moment they occupied Kerch Island...... Only ten kilometers from each other, which is quite within the range of howitzers.

Naturally, the Soviets were not to be outdone, and immediately followed by shells from the opposite side, so the artillery came and went, although each other actually failed to hit the target, and even it can be said that there was no target, and some shells directly hit the sea and burst out columns of water that rushed to the sky.

In this respect, the Soviet army was actually deceived.

Because the purpose of the German army in doing this is to make the Soviet army adapt to this kind of shelling noise and make it a norm, so it can have the purpose of masking the sound of the motor of the amphibious landing ship.

As a result, the amphibious landing fleet of the 1st Battalion reached the coast of the Taman Peninsula on the opposite side of the river very smoothly.

One of the accidents that occurred was that the reconnaissance flotilla ahead spotted a Soviet gunboat of Project 1125 patrolling.

However, this will not pose much of a threat to the fleet, which has been prepared for it for a long time...... At least one artillery regiment was ready to coordinate with the flotilla on the Kerch Peninsula, and the reconnaissance ship immediately called for artillery fire to cover the Type 1125 gunboat as soon as it spotted its searchlight.

A shell hit the Type 1125 gunboat, setting it on fire, and then quickly left the area.

Originally, Qin Chuan thought that the fleet would definitely be exposed, but after waiting for a while, he found that there was no movement...... There were neither flares nor shells, and there were no searchlights on the opposite shore.

Later, Qin Chuan learned that the Soviet gunboat took it for granted that its searchlight had exposed its position and attracted the Germans' shells, so after cursing, it did not report anything, and did not continue to patrol and reconnoitre...... There will never be a shortage of such rough-and-so, so-so people among the Soviets, which are somewhat similar to their style of equipment, generally rough and simple, but somewhat durable.

So sloppy is sometimes inexplicable.

There are always some comments on the Internet that boast that the Japanese are serious and detail-oriented, and the Chinese who form a contrast are sloppy and conclude that China has no future.

However, the fact is: if you say Chinese sloppy, if you go to the United States, you will find that it is not called sloppy at all, and when you get to the USSR, you will find what is called sloppy, after seeing the Indians...... They will teach you to be sloppy.

If a country can be judged by sloppiness, the United States and the former Soviet Union will never become superpowers.

This aspect is easy to understand if we consider it from the perspective of the "golden mean" theory...... There is a degree to everything, otherwise it is too much. Too much attention to detail tends to make it ignore the more important thing of strategy and focus on tactics.

Japan made such mistakes again and again during World War II, and it did not repent.

In the big picture, for example, for the sake of the country's oil problem, it completely ignored the situation of its ally Germany, and attacked the United States...... Can't you slow down if you don't have enough oil? It is also good for Germany to wait for Germany to win the Soviet-German war, the war or gain a firm foothold in the Mediterranean, and then provoke the United States.

In small aspects, such as what kind of naval battle to fight with the United States, the commander directly stipulates what tasks each torpedo boat must complete.

It looks perfect, and each part knows what it wants to accomplish and what it does, but when it is put together, it becomes a farce, and the United States beats it to the ground with a blue nose and swollen face, and a lot of teeth...... If it is too rigid, it will make it difficult for the troops to operate flexibly and adapt to the ever-changing battlefield, and the Germans also made this mistake after Hitler tightened his control over the troops.

So in this regard, India and Japan are actually going to two extremes, one is too sloppy, and the other is too serious.

The real ones should be those who are not so sloppy and not so serious, so that they can balance strategy and tactics.
