1142 I haven't received a telegram for a long time
Huasilevski stood in the underground bunker, looking at the distant position through the narrow gap. The smoke was rolling over there and it had been burning for three days.
Originally, Vasilev planned to let someone extinguish the fire there, but after trying it a few times, he gave up such a futile attempt.
The battleships of the Axis powers were too fierce, and his shore defense artillery troops had long been beaten to the point of being unable to raise their heads.
During the battle a few days later, the Axis warships were constantly bombarding Sevastopol, and Sevastopol's turrets rarely launched counterattacks.
Although the German army could not destroy the underground fortifications of Sevastopol such as Gorky 1, the German army could destroy the surface of the fortress and firepower points, making the Soviet fortress useless.
The situation is that Sevastopol has indeed lost most of the ground defenses, and even several 305mm caliber main turrets have been destroyed.
"Report! Comrade Commander! The telegram just arrived, the German army broke through the periphery's defense line and entered the Crim Peninsula." An officer walked in, stood attentively, and reported what had just happened.
The German team entered the Krim Peninsula, which was undoubtedly a bad news for Huasilevsky.
Now he can be said to be attacked by the enemy on the back and a large army of German infantry in front, and a fleet of Axis powers constantly harassed him behind him.
What made him even more depressed was that the Sevastopol Fortress, which could have caused damage to the German infantry, was now almost scrapped.
"What should I do if I call you? How do I keep you?" Huasilevsky took the document depressedly and complained.
No matter where he built a defensive position, the German army had enough firepower support that was scary. Which position could withstand the baptism of 70 380mm caliber artillery?
As long as the German army selected the breakthrough location within 10 kilometers near the coastline, the Soviet Union's defense line would not be able to stand firm.
The fleet of the Axis powers only needs one round of volleys to collapse the Soviet defense line. That is the navy's heavy artillery, and its destructive power is not comparable to that of the army's slender artillery!
Although giving up most of the Crem Peninsula can avoid losses in a short period of time, it is not a good idea to concentrate troops to retreat to Sevastopol.
This will make the German team's artillery more concentrated. Compared with the German team's artillery concentrated, the destructive power caused is even stronger.
What's more, there is another fatal problem. Huasilevsky must make a careful judgment: how many napalm bombs are left in the Germans!
Once the troops were concentrated and stuck in underground fortifications that lacked ground positions, the German napalm bombs were deadly enough.
Since the beginning of the battle in Sevastopol, some Soviet soldiers in underground bunkers were attacked by napalm bombs, and a large number of suffocation and death occurred.
So gathering the troops is definitely not a complete choice. At least in Huasilevsky's view, it is definitely not a good choice.
"What should we do now?" After hearing the unfortunate news, all the officers in the bunker were pale and asked.
They are now fully surrounded, and there was the entire Crem Peninsula as a supporter, but now there is only half left.
The most pitiful thing is that the remaining half is about to be occupied by the enemy. They are unable to defend against any position, so they can only be compressed and annihilated.
"What should we do if there is nothing. We stick to every position and die with the enemy!" Huasilevsky gritted his teeth and ordered.
He still has more than 20,000 soldiers and more than 2,000 naval soldiers! With these combat troops, he firmly believes that he can hold on for more than a week.
"We must be like Kiev! We will fight! Ukraine is the Soviet Union! No one can take it away!" Finally, Huasilevsky encouraged everyone and said, "Whoever wants to come and take it, let's step on our bodies and talk about it!"
Until now, the news that the German team occupied Kiev has not reached the Sevastopol region.
The Soviet Union blocked relevant news, and the German radio broadcast, no matter what content it said, the Soviet officers and soldiers were not willing to believe it easily.
Although most of the contents mentioned in German radio are actually true: For example, Moscow has been occupied by the German army, Minsk has been occupied by the German army, and Kiev has been occupied by the German army...
"Comrade Commander! We are all willing to follow you!" The highly inspired Soviet officers regained some fighting spirit and expressed their desire to fight to the death.
Walking out of the observation bunker and walking down the slightly dim corridor, only in the bunker hidden deep underground, can Vasilevsky feel a little bit of security.
The German shelling made the earth tremble. Who knows that one day the entire fortress would be destroyed?
The lighting in the corridor was artificially dismantled half because the diesel reserves in the fortress were limited and they had to use these reserves to last longer.
So at night, generators in most areas will stop working, and underground fortress groups will have large-scale power outages.
In addition, in all channels connecting the main bodies of major fortresses, the energy-saving energy saved by lighting and lighting can allow the entire fortress to last longer.
There is also a large amount of ammunition here, which can provide sufficient ammunition for 20,000 soldiers. No matter how intense the battle is, the reserves here can be squandered for several months.
It can be said that Vasilevsky could last in Sevastopol for a long time with these underground bunkers alone.
"Comrade General!" A staff officer caught up with Wasseylevsky who was walking back to the deep underground bunker and asked, "There is no news in Kiev yet. Do you think that there is really still holding on there?"
"I don't know what's going on there either, but after all, the Kiev defense line has been in operation for a long time, so there should be no problem with sticking to it for a month, right?" Huasilevsky slowed down and answered his own questions.
"But... the German radio station has been playing news that Kiev has been occupied by them!" The staff officer heard Huasilevsky's answer and lowered his voice.
Vasilevsky glanced at him and asked back, "How can you easily believe what the enemy said?"
Chapter completed!
