USSR 1941

The purpose of Shulka's doing this is very simple, in fact, it is to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

The German Air Force has always been superior in quality rather than quantity, while the Soviet Air Force is superior in quantity.

Under such circumstances, if it was clear from the beginning that he wanted to attack Feodosia, then as long as the Germans were willing, it would be basically impossible for the Soviet Air Force to fly over Feodosia and carry out effective bombing.

However, if Kerch successfully organizes a counter-offensive, and it is still a counter-offensive supported by the Air Force, it will definitely attract the attention of the Luftwaffe.

Needless to say, the German Air Force will invest a limited number of fighters in the direction of Kerch to resist the counterattack of the Soviet army.

Then the air defense over Feodosia will be exposed.

"Maybe you are right in this regard, Captain!" Major General Vladimir said, looking at the map: "If we do this, it is indeed possible to successfully bomb Feodosia and lose the coastal defense artillery distributed on the beach." effect!"

Ironically, these coastal defense guns belonged to the Soviet Army, and they were captured by the Germans and became a threat to the Soviet Navy.

However, it is precisely because they belong to the Soviet army that the Soviet army knows their location and distribution very well.

"But you don't know the difficulties and dangers of amphibious landing operations, Comrade Captain!" Major General Vladimir looked at Mehlis who was pretending to read a newspaper on the other side. Be heard by the "King of Small Reports."

"You don't know anything about it!" Major General Vladimir continued in a low voice, "So, if you are as smart as they say, you should immediately cancel this stupid plan. It will save me and my soldiers Nothing but freezing to death on the beach!"

"Tell me what's the problem?"

"What?"

"I want to know about the difficulties!" said Shulka, "and then we can solve them, don't you, Comrade General?"

Major General Vladimir couldn't help laughing: "You think you can solve those difficulties? No, Captain, no one can solve these difficulties, at least so far!"

What Major General Vladimir said was true. It should be said that the U.S. military fought well in the amphibious landing battle, but that was also because they had accumulated experience time and time again on the Pacific battlefield, and the Pacific War had just erupted not long ago... That is to say, there is not much experience in amphibious landing operations in the world.

"Maybe I can!" Shulka replied without changing his face.

Major General Vladimir showed a disdainful smile on his face. He obviously thought that Shulka was too conceited.

"The problem of coastal defense artillery can be regarded as solved!" Major General Vladimir said: "But what about the problem of air supremacy? Without air supremacy, our transport ships and warships are equivalent to the targets of German fighter planes and bombers... we may The Germans can be fooled for a while, that is, the time to bomb Feodosia. However, when the Germans react, their air force will soon point the finger at our warships. What do you think we should do? Use Anti-aircraft guns? Or dispatch all fighter planes to compete with them for air supremacy?"

"We don't need to worry about that!" Shulka replied, "Because we landed at night!"

"What?"

"You know, general! It's hard for fighter planes to work at night, especially on the sea!"

As the commander of the navy, Rear Admiral Vladimir certainly knows this. The sea level is dark at night, and the sky is also dark at the same time. Thought it was thrown into the arms of the sky.

In contrast, it is much safer to fly or even barely fight on land. A night battle at sea means killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred.

"But we also can't bomb Feodosia at night, can't we?" Major General Vladimir asked.

"Of course!" Shulka replied: "But we can choose to carry out the bombing before dark in the evening, and then the fleet will go straight to Feodosia to carry out the second round of bombing with naval guns.

Even if the Germans react at this time..."

"It was dark then too?"

"Yes!" Shulka nodded: "So the Germans can only bear our shells in the dark. They may hope to take revenge after dawn, but...the winter nights in the Crimea are very long, and they may I can never wait for dawn!"

Major General Vladimir once again cast an unexpected look at Shulka, and he found that everything on the battlefield seemed to be under the captain's control.

"If the landing is carried out at night!" Major General Vladimir continued: "Then it will cause new difficulties, and the low visibility will increase the danger of preparing the landing craft!"

"I don't think that's going to bother you, is it?"

Major General Vladimir was silent for a while, then nodded: "We need a few days to practice, I mean landing at night!"

"Two days!" Shulka said: "We only have two days at most, and we will attack on time on the evening of the third day, because the follow-up troops of the Germans may arrive at that time, and then we will think about the cost of the attack." It will be even more difficult for Odocia!"

"No problem!" Major General Vladimir said. "But more importantly, it is the climate problem, Captain, and I think you know that too!"

Shulka nodded, this was the trickiest.

"We can only hope that the weather will improve by then!" Shulka said: "If the wind and waves weaken, we can shorten the time for the soldiers to be frostbitten as much as possible!"

"Even so!" Major General Vladimir shook his head and said: "I mean, even if the weather is calm, frostbite is still unavoidable! Because our assault boats and landing craft cannot go ashore, they may even run aground on the shallows, which means Soldiers have to jump into the water and wade ashore... Nobody survives that, Captain, NOBODY! They don't even need the enemy to waste bullets on them, just wait a dozen minutes and they'll freeze Already!"

This is indeed a big problem.

So it is normal for it to be considered a "stupid plan". If this plan has the possibility of success, it is that teams of soldiers, with their unyielding determination, rushed into the enemy's trenches to consume the enemy's vital strength before being frozen. .

After the enemy is exhausted, it is possible for the follow-up Soviet army to land calmly without letting the sea water soak their feet.

Mehlis would not have cared about this, but Shulka and Major General Vladimir could not avoid it.

However, Shulka changed his mind and drove the boat ashore?

why not?
