??Chapter 444 Hitting East and West

??Echoed Mehlis, Shulka pointed to the map and said: "Comrade Mehlis, I heard that you commanded the naval infantry brigade to attack Sudak?"

?? "Yes!" Mehlis replied, "What do you think of that?"

?? "Very well, Comrade Mechlis!" Shulka said. "Actually...it was so good that we hit the Germans head to tail!"

"Ha, look!" With Shulka's affirmation, Mechlis happily raised his head towards the others: "They actually told me that this is not a good choice, now listen to what 'Breakout Heroes' said of!"

??Alexey looked at Shulka in confusion, knowing that this was not the case.

??Shuerka didn't explain anything, he just pointed to the map and said: "Unfortunately, the Germans dare not fight, they are already preparing to flee, Comrade Mechlis!"

??Mechlis was surprised for a while, then nodded and said: "Oh, yes. These cowards, they are fleeing to Zhankoy!"

?? "That's right, Comrade Mechlis!" Shulka added: "It is said to be the German 28th Infantry Division!"

?? "It's the German 28th Infantry Division!" Alexei explained, "But they..."

?? "They are fleeing to Zhankoy!" Shulka interrupted Alexei: "I think we should pursue the victory, Comrade Mechelis, we cannot let them escape so easily!"

?? "That's right, that's exactly what I want to do!" Mehlis nodded with a smile, and then put on a thoughtful look.

"So, we should organize the air force to intercept them!" Shulka said: "The 1st Guards Tank Brigade will also send troops to its front to block their advance. It would be even better to head towards Simferopol!"

?? "That's right, Shulka!" Mehlis said with a smile, "We're thinking of going together!"

?? Then he turned to Alexei and asked: "Do you have any other comments, Comrade Alexei?"

"No, no, Comrade Mehlis!" Alexey seemed to be a little unresponsive, he looked at the map again, then glanced at Shulka and replied: "I completely agree with this, Mehre Comrade Liss!"

?? "You have finally enlightened, Alexei!" Mechlis praised, and then ordered: "Then do it!"

?? "Yes, Comrade Mehlis!"

??After Mechlis left, Alexei lowered his voice and said to Shulka: "This is amazing, how can you..."

?? "Did you describe the situation of the battle like this?"

?? "Yes!" Alexei said: "The enemy's 28th Infantry Division is reinforcing Zhankoy instead of fleeing!"

?? "No, they are running away!" Shulka replied.

"Oh, yes!" Alexei understood what Shulka meant, and then he looked at the map seriously and said: "Yes, they are fleeing, we cannot let these invaders escape from our land so easily So we have to teach them a lesson, so that they will never dare to step into our land again, and at the same time let other enemies know the fate of invading the Soviet Union..."

?? "That's enough, Alexei!" Shulka couldn't help but interrupt him: "No one else is watching you perform now!"

?? There was a moment of silence, and then the two suddenly laughed.

??Alexis wasn't flexible enough, or he didn't understand Mehlis.

??Mechlis will not like others to deny his plan, and even fears that others will deny his battle plan... There is a saying that "the more you lack something, the more you like to show off".

?? This should be said to be a normal state of mind. Because of lack, there is a strong desire in my heart to hope that I can achieve satisfaction in this aspect, so I can't wait to show off when I have a little achievement.

?? This is pretty much what Mehlis is at this point.

??What he lacks is battlefield experience and command ability. Although Shurka is the "staff officer", after several successes, he can't wait to show himself, or it can be said that he is trying to get rid of his dependence on Shurka.

??So boldly formulated an attack plan.

In fact, this may not be called "bold" for Mechelis at all, because the lives of Soviet soldiers are just numbers to him, and he has nothing to do with them. If anything, it is these numbers It may be possible to achieve his fame.

?? For such an offensive plan, Mehlis is of course unwilling to be denied by others, because to deny this plan is to deny himself.

?? Not even Shulka.

?? But war is a very magical thing. No one can say qualitatively what the enemy's strategic intentions are. For example, to reinforce the German 28th Infantry Division in Zhankoy, who can say that it is not fleeing?

??Since it is an escape, why can't it "beat the dog in the water"?

??So, after putting it another way, all changes in strategy and tactics become reasonable.

?? As for how to do it in detail...Mechlis is not even involved, Shulka just needs to talk to Alexei.

?? "We will send two hundred planes to bomb the 28th Infantry Division!" Alexey said.

?? "No, no more than fifty at a time, divided into several bombings!" Shulka said.

?? "Why?" Alexei looked at Shulka puzzled.

?? "Because of all the noise!"

"What?"

??Alexey still didn't understand.

"During this time we have used the tactics of 'striking east and attacking west' too frequently!" Shulka explained: "I mean the air force, even the Germans are used to it and choose to save their strength and put their planes on standby to intercept the main force of our air force !"

?? "Yes, but what does that have to do with sending fifty planes?" asked Alexei.

?? "The Germans will think that we are still "striking east and west"!" Shulka said: "They will use these fifty planes as bait!"

??Alexey couldn't help but "Oh": "Then they ignore it, don't they?"

?? "Yes!" Shulka said: "Or they will choose to send only a few planes to test, and this will not affect our bombing!"

?? "Yes, we will let the fighters ambush in the clouds, and then give them a surprise attack!"

?? "By the time they realize that our bombing of the 28th Infantry Division is not a bait, it may be too late!" Shulka said: "We have achieved the goal of blocking the 28th Infantry Division!"

?? "And their air force might barely even be there, just watching their infantry get bombed!"

?? "Why not?" Shulka shrugged.

?? "Of course, Comrade Captain!" Alexey looked at Shulka with admiration, and said, "I'm lucky that I'm not your enemy!"
