??Chapter 431 Instructions
??Katukov couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this, and said, "When they attacked Feodosia?"
?? "Yes!" Shulka nodded and said, "If they cross the 46th Division's defense and attack us, we can launch a counterattack..."
?? "And after breaking them, follow them and break through the defenses of the 46th Division?"
?? "Yes!" Shulka said: "If it is at night, the Germans can't tell the enemy from us at all, and we can even mix in the Romanian army!"
?? "What does it mean to be in the Romanian army?" Katukov asked.
?? "Put on the uniform of the Romanian army!" Shulka explained: "flee with the Romanian soldiers, and then hide in the German trenches..."
"Captain!" Lieutenant Colonel Gavrilov interrupted Shulka: "but how can we distinguish them? I mean, our people will also regard them as enemies. The words of the Romanian soldier's uniform!"
?? "We can use some conventions!" Shulka said: "For example, tie a white towel on the left arm!"
??The officers didn’t speak, because although it was feasible, it didn’t really work... No one on the battlefield would carefully distinguish whether there was a white towel on the left arm, it was just a kind of psychological comfort.
?? After being silent for a while, Katukov said: "This is a good way. We can consciously drive the Romanians to the highlands on both sides, so we can easily seize these highlands to ensure the safety of the supply line!"
?? This is exactly what Shulka thought.
?? You must know that the Romanian reinforcements are mountain brigades, and the mountain brigade is best at fighting in the mountains.
On the other hand, once the Romanian army is defeated, a large number of deserters will flock to the road, and the road will be blocked, so there is no need for the Soviet army to "drive away", and the Romanian army will spontaneously rush to the high ground on both sides... This is their way of life, and they certainly won't give up.
??So, the Soviet soldiers who mixed into the Romanian army had an opportunity.
?? "Whoa!" Lieutenant Colonel Zakhakovic said, "I think we should get some Romanian uniforms!"
?? "Leave this to someone else!" Katukov said: "It's not difficult!"
This is really not difficult. The reason is that the border between the Soviet Union and Romania has been in constant disputes in history. Just two years ago, the Soviet Union sent troops to occupy Bisabillaia in Romania... This is one of the reasons why Romania became an ally of Germany and fought very hard. one.
??Because of these reasons, the Soviet Union is very familiar with the situation in Romania, let alone military uniforms. With the industrial capabilities of the Soviet Union, even temporary production is not a big problem.
?? "The important thing!" Katukov continued: "How can we ensure that the Romanians attack Feodosia instead of defending with the 46th Division!"
??This is indeed a problem. Romania is a mountain force, and a rational commander will let them garrison in the mountain area instead of attacking a certain city.
?? "We can't guarantee it, Colonel!" Shulka said: "All we can do is give them some 'advice'!"
"Suggestion?" Katukov looked at Shulka suspiciously, and then he understood what Shulka was referring to, and couldn't help laughing: "Oh, Shulka, you can not only give us advice, but also give us advice. Advice from the enemy!"
?? While Katukov and others were making detailed plans, Shulka found Mehlis.
?? Mekhlis's headquarters also moved to Feodosia.
?? This is not because of how heroic he is, but because he is not used to staying on a boat as a landlubber... It can also be seen from this that he doesn't know much about war.
??Because as long as you have a little understanding of the battlefield, you know that battleships are the safest place at this time.
??But Mehlis didn't think so.
In his eyes, a target as big as a battleship is just like a target for enemy planes. From time to time, German night fighter planes fly overhead, the sound of motors whistling, and the explosion of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns... It's so frightening , just like standing in front of the enemy without cover.
??How good it is to go ashore, find a safe place to hide, the enemy doesn't even know where you are.
?? Of course he would not have thought that if Feodosia was counterattacked by the enemy and the Soviet army was defeated, then Feodosia would actually be surrounded by the Germans and unable to fly.
??So, Mehlis set up his headquarters in a bunker, which was originally a coastal artillery fortification built by the Soviet army, and the concrete wall used to resist naval artillery was more than one meter thick.
"Comrade Shulka!" Seeing Shulka coming in, Mehlis, who was holding a wine glass, waved happily to Shulka, then took a glass for Shulka and poured wine, saying: " Know what it is? French champagne, I heard that the enemy likes to celebrate with champagne when they win... Now, it's ironic that we celebrate their defeat with the champagne captured from the enemy, isn't it?"
??The people around couldn't help laughing.
?? This is of course no problem for Mehlis, if it is someone else, it may be a "potential enemy corrupted by hostile ideas".
?? Then Mehlis raised his cup, raised it around, and shouted proudly: "Comrades, for our victory, for the 'breakout hero' Shulka, cheers!"
"cheers!"
??…
?? After taking a sip, Shulka put down his glass and said, "Comrade Mehlis, I think it's too early to celebrate victory now!"
?? "Yes, of course!" Mechlis said: "We still have to drive the Germans out of the Soviet Union and completely eliminate these Communists. Then it's time for us to celebrate our victory!"
??Mechlis was already intoxicated by the victory in front of him and couldn't extricate himself.
He does seem to have a reason to be proud. After all, the results in front of him are not small. Not only the successful landing in Feodosia, but also the successful rescue of the Kerch Peninsula. The crisis in the Crimean Peninsula is expected to be lifted. The reported Mehlis was already a great victory.
?? "You are right, Comrade Mekhlis!" Shulka said: "However, I think we should first consider driving the Germans out of the Crimea!"
?? "Can you drive them out of the Crimea?" Mehlis' eyes lit up involuntarily.
??At this time, he has already tasted the sweetness of victory, so of course he will cooperate with Shulka unconditionally.
?? But then again, who doesn't like winning?
?? "Yes, Comrade Mekhlis!" Shulka said: "We have a plan, but of course, this plan needs your instructions!"
