Chapter 568 Reinforcement

The ground was full of corpses and blood, and the sewage in the mud was no longer the yellow-brown color of the soil, but a dark red mixed with blood.

In just over ten minutes, thousands of Soviet soldiers were wiped out in the camp.

Of course, there was a factor that the Soviet soldiers were not prepared... They thought the enemy was outside the defense line, so they were relieved.

However, even so, if a bolt-action rifle was used, this one-on-two battle would not be so easy, and it was almost certain that there would be a thrilling hand-to-hand fight between the enemy and us.

However, because the Germans were holding MP43s, none of this happened.

All the Germans had to do was raise their guns, aim, and then pull the trigger. The five thousand Soviet soldiers had basically no chance to fight back or even time to surrender.

"Keep going!" Colonel Slaine shouted: "Follow the enemy to take down the power station!"

The Germans responded and chased after them in teams with rifles.

Colonel Slaine sighed as he walked past Qin Chuan: "This thing is simply a killing machine, I mean the MP43!"

Werner turned back as he walked forward and said: "Captain, now I know why it has no bayonet stock!"

"Yes!" The baker empathized and replied: "I have always had this question before, where should our bayonets be installed? How can such a short gun fight the enemy in hand-to-hand combat, but now I understand... it doesn't need a bayonet at all!"

Hearing these words, Qin Chuan was surprised.

This is actually a very simple truth... Assault rifles do not need bayonets, because its magazine that can hold 30 rounds of bullets is equivalent to being able to stab 30 times in hand-to-hand combat.

And in hand-to-hand combat with a bayonet, there is basically no chance to stab 30 times.

So, if you have used up all the bullets in a magazine in a hand-to-hand combat and still failed to win, you who use a bayonet should have been glorious long ago.

But it is such a simple truth that China was still arguing about it until modern times, and even considered the folding bayonet of the Type 56 submachine gun.

In contrast, the speed at which German soldiers accepted new equipment and new concepts can be said to be quite fast. It is no wonder that they developed new equipment and tactical theories that stunned the world one after another.

Most of the two regiments of the Soviet 138th Brigade were annihilated, and the only benefit of the escape of a few was that its brigade commander, Major General Vladimir, escaped by car with a radio, which enabled him to report the situation to Lieutenant General Oktyabrski, the commander of Sevastopol, in the car.

However, the brigade commander still failed to save his life in the end... A commander who lost most of his subordinates in wartime but escaped was intolerable, especially in the Soviet army. He was arrested and executed the next day.

"What?" Lieutenant General Oktyabrsky turned pale when he heard the information: "The Germans appeared two kilometers outside the city? How did they cross the defense line?"

Political Commissar Anatoly looked at the map and replied: "They may have come from the sea, Comrade Oktyabrsky. We just received intelligence that the Germans were collecting fishing boats during the day. I was just wondering what they wanted these fishing boats for!"

"These cunning Germans!" Oktyabrsky clenched his fist and slammed it on the table. Then his finger moved along the position of the Germans on the map towards Sevastopol. Soon, his eyes were fixed on the power station.

"Damn it!" Oktyabrsky cursed: "Their target is the power station!"

Political Commissar Anatoly was also shocked when he heard this.

"Power station?!" The veins on Anatoly's forehead jumped: "They are going to cut off the power supply of the fortress! Comrade Oktyabrsky, you have deployed troops there for defense, right?"

"Only one battalion!" Oktyabrsky replied with a pale face.

It is understandable that Oktyabrsky would do this.

First of all, as a vice admiral of the navy, he has too much experience in land battle command... Oktyabrsky is the commander of the Black Sea Fleet, and the troops stationed in the Sevastopol Fortress belong to the Primorsky Army of the Navy.

Secondly, the fortress needs a lot of troops to defend it, and Oktyabrsky's troops are not enough, so he can only throw the main force to the fortress.

This is also one of the reasons why the Soviet army continued to send reinforcements to Sevastopol. Who would have thought that the two reinforcement regiments were annihilated by the German army just after landing.

"Quick!" Commissar Anatoly urged: "Send reinforcements to the power station!"

Oktyabrski was stunned, then picked up the phone and ordered: "Order Comrade Igor to lead the troops to reinforce the Sevastopol power station immediately!"

"Igor? The 388th Division?" Commissar Anatoly asked in confusion: "That is the troops of the first defense zone, 5 kilometers away from here!"

"I know, Comrade Anatoly!" Oktyabrski replied: "But we have no other troops. Yes, we still have a regiment of reserves, but they must be used to defend Sevastopol! Do you know what the consequences will be if they are sent to reinforce the power station? Sevastopol will become an empty city, with more than 200 senior officers from the Black Sea Fleet and the Caucasus Front!"

If Qin Chuan heard this, he would probably jump three feet high... This may be more attractive than power stations and fortresses.

But then again, if we enter Sevastopol, we will face street fighting in unfamiliar terrain, and it is also easy to be surrounded by the Soviet reinforcements from the outside, so this cannot be the first goal.

"But!" Commissar Anatoly said: "Are we just going to watch the Germans capture the power station? Comrade Oktyabrsky, you know what that means. Without the power station, the fortress can't be defended, and if the fortress can't defend Sevastopol, it's over!"

Oktyabrsky nodded and replied weakly: "I know, Comrade Commissar! I know. But if we do this, we at least have time to retreat!"

"What?" Commissar Anatoly looked at Oktyabrsky in disbelief: "Are you saying, you plan to escape? ? "

"From the moment the Germans bypassed the defense line and defeated the 138th Brigade, Sevastopol was finished!" Oktyabrsky replied: "What I have to do now is to withdraw these two hundred senior officers from here!"

"No, I can't let you do this!" Commissar Anatoly said angrily: "This is escape, a shameless act of treason, it will make Sevastopol fall completely into the hands of the enemy. As long as we stay here and fight with those brave soldiers, we can drive these fascists out of our land! I firmly believe this!"
