Chapter 581: Plan

I lost my temper with my child today, and I only had one change, sorry!

******************

However, things did not go as smoothly as Werner and others had imagined.

In the early morning of the next day, as the German soldiers were advancing non-stop, the sky suddenly began to rain heavily.

"That's not a good thing!" Qin Chuan said as he took out the poncho from his bag and put it on for himself, and the soldiers followed suit.

But this was not necessary, because the soldiers would soon be stuck in a pool of water, and the ponchos would not do anything at all.

Sure enough, the convoy stopped after more than ten minutes of progress, and the driver poked his head out of the cab and shouted backwards: "The front is blocked, and it is said that the road has been washed away by muddy water!" ”

"When will we be able to move on?" Werner asked.

"Hell knows!" The driver replied, "Wait in the back!" ”

The baker couldn't help but complain anxiously: "Are all our sappers asleep?" ”

"It's none of the sappers!" Qin Chuan replied: "The peninsula is already wet and muddy, and now it is raining heavily, and there is nothing the sappers can do, unless they can build a bridge to Kerch Port!" ”

Hearing this, the soldiers were silent.

It turned out that what Qin Chuan said was right, because the rain with yellow mud quickly spread to the feet of Qin Chuan and the others, but at this time, the convoy slowly moved.

"Keep going!" The soldiers heard Bazel's voice in the rain curtain ahead.

Blitzkrieg is all about speed, so whether it's day or night, whether it's windy or rainy, there will be no time to rest, even if it's difficult to move an inch.

The car started and drove forward slowly, and from time to time a car on the side of the road got stuck in the muddy water and needed to be pushed forward by the soldiers, and occasionally a tank was stuck and simply gave up...... No one could push a tank, and normally one or two tanks would have dragged it, but now everyone knew that if they did, they would get the other tanks into muddy water at the same time.

These scenes made the soldiers feel a little frightened, because they knew that it meant that the car they were sitting in would not be spared.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, the car skiddled in muddy water and then sank deeper and deeper.

"Get out of the car, boys!" The driver poked his head out and shouted back, "The car carried you through the first half, and now it's time for you to carry it through the second half!" ”

This seemed to make a lot of sense, so the soldiers silently got out of the car and pushed the car forward.

The rancid muddy water splattered everywhere under the rotation of the wheels of the car, and soon everyone who pushed the cart was in shambles.

Sadly, the car kept coming out of this pit and sinking into another, and the soldiers had to do what seemed meaningless over and over again.

"Why don't we just throw this steam on the side of the road and walk to Kerch Port?" Werner complained.

"Because our ammunition is in the car!" Qin Chuan replied: "If you can carry these ammunition on your shoulders or think that you can take Kerch without these ammunition, then you can choose to do so!" ”

"Okay!" Werner replied: "I'm just worried that if this continues, we won't have the strength to attack by the time we reach the enemy!" ”

"Don't worry!" Dominic replied: "You just need to have the strength to accept their surrender!" ”

The soldiers burst into laughter.

But Qin Chuan was not as optimistic as the soldiers.

If it hadn't been for this rain, the scene that Dominic was talking about might have happened...... The Soviet 46th Army, stationed in the port of Kerch, was attacked by the "Grodk" motorized brigade with all its strength without preparation, and it would not take long for the entire line to collapse.

But now, this heavy rain gave the Soviet troops time to prepare.

Qin Chuan guessed correctly, Kozlov, who was originally going to give up, saw hope after this heavy rain, and he immediately cheered up and said to Mechlis: "Comrade Mekhlis, this may be our last chance, I need to transfer a tank brigade from the Taman Peninsula, and I also need the support of the Air Force, only in this way can the 46th Army be able to block the German attack!" ”

Mekhlis was silent for a while, after receiving Stalin's telegram, he knew that he could not cut off the battle of the Crimean Peninsula, which meant that his fate was tied to the Crimean Front, so he nodded and said: "Tell me your plan, Comrade Kozlov!" ”

"Build a line of defense in front of the port of Kerch!" "The 46th Army has 60,000 men, and we are on par with the Germans, whose superiority lies in aircraft and tanks, and if we can compete with the Germans on both fronts, I mean," Kozlov said...... As long as we hold out for a while, the Germans will soon lose their combat effectiveness due to lack of ammunition! ”

"Yes!" Mehris looked at Kozlov with shiny eyes: "Although our three army groups cannot be resupplied, the Germans will not be able to get them either, and then we will not only not be defeated, but will be able to encircle and annihilate the three divisions of the Germans that broke through our defense line!" ”

"Yes, Comrade Mehris!" Kozlov replied: "In fact, our three armies were not completely unsupplied either. We have the Black Sea Fleet, and intelligence indicates that the Germans have moved their main fighters to the Kharkiv direction, which indicates that the Germans are running out of fighters in the Crimean direction. Moreover, their fighters have to deal with our planes on the one hand, and on the other hand, they have to coordinate the attack of their troops, so they have no time to take care of the sea surface...... In this way, the Black Sea Fleet could provide us with fire support and even deliver supplies by sea to the besieged three army groups. In other words, over time, the balance of victory will tilt in our favor little by little! ”

"Very well, Comrade Kozlov!" Mehris said: "A good plan, as long as we unite and bravely face the enemy, we will definitely be able to annihilate these fascists." I immediately went to report to Stalin and asked him to give us reinforcements, and you were responsible for organizing the defense of the 46th Army. Of course, I will also report to Comrade Stalin on your performance! ”

These words made Kozlov's blood boil, and he instantly felt like he had seen the blue sky through the clouds, and without saying a word, he began to organize the 46th Army to build fortifications in accordance with Mehris's orders.

When Kozlov was still a little too tender in politics.

Mekhlis, of course, will not report to Comrade Stalin about Kozlov's performance...... Although Mekhlis would do his best to ask Stalin for reinforcements for reasons of self-interest, these performances, these plans, and these efforts became Mehris's in the blink of an eye.
