The decisive battle against the Third Reich

I lost my temper with my child today, so I only updated once, sorry!

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

In the early morning of the next day, when the German soldiers were advancing non-stop, it suddenly rained heavily.

"This is not a good thing!" Qin Chuan said as he took out a raincoat from his bag and put it on himself, and the soldiers followed suit.

But this was actually unnecessary, because the soldiers would soon fall into a swamp, and the raincoat would not be of any use at all.

Sure enough, the convoy stopped after more than ten minutes of driving, and the driver leaned out of the cab and shouted back: "The front is blocked, and it is said that the road was washed away by muddy water!"

"When can we move forward?" Werner asked.

"Who knows!" The driver replied: "Wait behind!"

The baker could not help but complain anxiously: "Are all our engineers asleep?"

"This is not the engineers' business!" Qin Chuan replied: "The peninsula is already wet and muddy, and now it is raining heavily. The engineers can't do anything unless they can build a bridge to Kerch Port!"

The soldiers were silent after hearing this.

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

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

The most important thing about blitzkrieg is speed, so no matter whether it is day or night, no matter whether it is windy or rainy, there will be no time to rest, even if it is difficult to move.

The car started and drove forward slowly. From time to time, a car on the road would get stuck in the mud and water and need to be pushed forward by the soldiers. Occasionally, a tank would get stuck and simply give up... No one could push the tank. Normally, in this situation, it should be towed by another or two tanks, but now, everyone knows that if this is done, other tanks will get stuck in the mud and water at the same time.

These scenes made the soldiers a little scared, because they knew that this meant that the car they were sitting in might not be spared.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, the car slipped in the mud and water, and then got deeper and deeper.

"Get off, boys!" The driver leaned out and shouted to the back: "The car carried you for the first half, now, it's time for you to carry it for the second half!"

This seemed to make sense, so the soldiers got off the car silently and pushed the car forward.

The stinking mud and water splashed everywhere under the rotation of the car wheels, and soon made everyone who pushed the car a mess.

Sadly, the car always got out of this pit and fell into another pit, and the soldiers could only do this seemingly meaningless action over and over again.

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

"Because our ammunition is on 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 goes on, we will have no strength to launch an attack when we get to the enemy!"

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

The soldiers laughed.

But Qin Chuan was not as optimistic as the soldiers.

If there was no rain, the scene Dominic said might indeed appear... The 46th Soviet Army stationed in Kerch Port was attacked by the "Grodek" motorized brigade without preparation, and it would collapse across the board soon.

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

Qin Chuan's guess was correct. Kozlov, who had planned to give up, saw hope after the heavy rain. He immediately cheered up and said to Mehlis: "Comrade Mehlis, 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 stop the German attack!" Mehlis was silent for a while. After receiving Stalin's telegram, he knew that he could not cut off the Crimean Peninsula Campaign, which meant that his fate was tied to the Crimean Front. So he nodded and said: "Tell me your plan, Kozlov, Comrade Kozlov!"

"Build a line of defense in front of Kerch Harbor!" Kozlov said: "The 46th Army has 60,000 people. Our strength is comparable to that of the Germans. The Germans' advantage lies in aircraft and tanks. If we can compete with the Germans in these two aspects, I mean... as long as we persist for a period of time, the Germans will soon lose their combat effectiveness due to lack of ammunition!"

"Yes!" Mekhlis looked at Kozlov with shining eyes: "Although our three armies cannot get supplies, the Germans cannot get them either. At that time, we will not only not be defeated, but we will be able to encircle and annihilate the three German divisions that broke into our defense line!"

"Yes, Comrade Mehlis!" Kozlov replied: "In fact, our three armies are not completely deprived of supplies. We have the Black Sea Fleet, and intelligence shows that the Germans have transferred the main force of their fighter planes to Kharkov direction, which shows that the Germans do not have enough fighter planes in the Crimean direction. Moreover, on the one hand, their fighter planes have to deal with our aircraft, and on the other hand, they have to coordinate the attack with the troops, so they have no time to take care of the sea... In this way. Come, the Black Sea Fleet can provide us with fire support and even transport supplies to the three besieged armies by sea. In other words, as time goes by, the balance of victory will tilt toward our side!"

"Very good, Comrade Kozlov!" Mekhlis said: "A very good plan. As long as we unite together and face the enemy bravely, we will definitely be able to annihilate these fascists. I will report to Stalin immediately and ask him to give us Reinforcements, you are responsible for organizing the defense of the 46th Army. Of course, I will also report your performance to Comrade Stalin!"

These words made Kozlov's blood boil, and he instantly felt like the clouds were clearing and he could see the blue sky. Without saying a word, he started to organize the 46th Army to build fortifications in accordance with Mehlis's order.

Kozlov was still a bit too green in politics.

Of course, Mehlis will not report Kozlov's performance to Comrade Stalin... Although Mehlis will try his best to request reinforcements from Stalin due to his own interests, these performances, these plans and these efforts will change in the blink of an eye. Becomes of Mehlis.
