Chapter 762

Khrushchev didn't know what kind of state Churchill was in when he committed suicide, and whether he was the same as himself, crouching in the corner of the basement, with dim and shaking lights, praying that all kinds of unrealistic miracles would appear in the next second.

The Soviet fleet in Kerch had fled, and voroshlov did not seem to have followed the tattered destroyer torpedoes back to the Caucasus. He also knew what it would be like to go back to the Soviet Union, especially after losing all the soldiers.

Now, at this moment, German soldiers are less than 10 kilometers away from the core area of the Soviet defense Fort Sevastopol. Although the less than 10 kilometers road is full of blockhouses, mines, trenches and camouflaged anti tank gun positions, Khrushchev still can't have a moment's peace of mind.

Ever since he arrived in the crimson Peninsula, Khrushchev has been imagining his last scene before his death. He thought about the heroic death and the appearance of being beaten to death. Only when the last time was getting closer and closer did he realize that his doomsday was different from his original idea.

Overhead, there are three layers of thick reinforced concrete fortifications. The whole mountain is almost hollowed out by the Soviet Union's own labor. Inside, three layers of internal buildings are built. The lowest floor is Khrushchev's headquarters, ammunition depot and grain depot. The second floor is a huge underground barracks, which can accommodate more than 2000 fully armed Red Army soldiers, as well as some ammunition storage warehouses for light weapons; Further up, there are more barracks, as well as access to each branch fort and main bunker, which can hold almost 5000 infantry.

On the ground, Khrushchev still has more than 50000 soldiers stationed in defensive positions. Most of these soldiers are his cronies and elite, and their combat effectiveness is much higher than that of the temporarily recruited troops. Moreover, most of these soldiers have experienced the failed battle of the spring offensive and have some combat experience. They fight to defend in the trenches extending in all directions and use the advantage terrain to consume the attacking German team.

The trenches near here are essentially different from those built with wood and soil. In some key defense areas, the trenches have been reinforced with concrete, and most of the defense nodes are reinforced with concealed blockhouses with roofs. There are hidden gun positions with anti tank guns deployed everywhere, and some are permanent gun firing positions with top camouflage.

Unlike the Soviet garrisons on the periphery, there are hidden underground traffic tunnels, which can dispatch troops to transport ammunition without being aware of it. Moreover, the whole Sevastopol fortress has accumulated a large amount of ammunition, which is enough for the garrison to spend for a while.

This fortress, or fortress group, has been regarded as one of the strongest defense systems built in human history. In terms of the firepower configuration and defense level of the core position, it has completely surpassed the French Maginot defense line. It is not too much to say that it is the most terrible defense fortress in the world.

In front of these machine gun blockhouses and gun firing positions, they have been laying and replenishing for decades, eventually forming a large number of mine belts of existing scale. These mines are numerous and numerous, and under the cover of firepower, they are enough to cause terrible killing effects on the German troops who come to attack.

Between the mines and the blockhouses, there are continuous barbed wire. Although these defense means are too old and old in the current war mode, with their huge number, they are still enough to cause considerable trouble to the advancing German army.

However, Khrushchev knew that the Germans had many ways to deal with these fortresses and mines. At least in the report a few days ago, the Germans tried to use a new type of weapon in an attack. This strange tank can carry a large number of detonators with rockets to quickly clear the mine, and directly clear a safe area for attack in the front of the position.

Sitting on the chair, Khrushchev suddenly remembered his youth. At that time, he was young and energetic, and he was still an ordinary administrator in the factory. On that day, he walked out of his office and saw an equally young man in a German defense forces uniform standing next to the machine.

He went over and said in a questioning tone, "how can you let the Germans come to such a secret military factory?" But without waiting for an answer, he was scolded by his own leaders. At that time, for the first time and the only time, he met the German head of state, akkado? Rudolph, meeting the most powerful man in Germany.

Akado at that time? Rudolph is so young, Khrushchev couldn't help thinking. As Germany's most powerful head of state, akkado, who is nearly six years younger than him, has reached the peak of power. It's a pity that Khrushchev himself is only a line away from being imprisoned or dying in battle. It's a good fortune to waste time.

"Boom!" Seems very far away, also seems to be in their ears, the sound of shell explosion, in the office is not strong. After all, there are dozens of meters of concrete and rooms above the office. However, I can still feel the vibration of the whole mountain caused by the shell, and I can still detect how huge the explosive shell is from the slight shaking of the table and chair.

"Dangdang!" The knock on the door interrupted Khrushchev's wishful thinking. Now the poor "front-line supervisor" can only give orders in this fortress, and the troops he can command are less and less, the land he can control is less and less, and even the breathing time he can expect is also less and less“ Come in Put down the wine cup, but still drunk. A person who goes further and further on the dead end usually hypnotizes and anesthetizes himself with alcohol repeatedly. Khrushchev had been drinking too much since he arrived in crimson. He had two more empty wine bottles in his room every day. A few days ago, the German army began to attack, and the number of wine bottles increased“ Comrade Khrushchev! Comrade commander, I hope you can inspect the troops on the front line, so as to improve the low morale. " A Soviet officer in a decent uniform stood at attention in front of Khrushchev. After saluting, he spoke out the purpose of his trip“ got it! Lunch will be delivered on time at noon, and each soldier will be given an extra potato. " After taking a deep breath, Khrushchev agreed: "let the soldiers have a good meal, and then I will go to see them. The effect will be better." In order to save food resources, the troops of the Red Army of the Soviet Union began to implement the ration system for a long time. The soldiers in the rear who did not need to take part in the war had only two full meals a day, and only the soldiers in the front line were given three full meals. The system was put into effect two months ago, but with the fighting going on and the logistic work in chaos, now in some corners, the Soviet soldiers can't even get a full meal. After walking out of the basement and through the long corridor, Khrushchev came to the central elevator specially for the chief. Two guards followed him up the elevator. With the friction and slight collision of machinery, he soon came to the first floor of the underground fortification. There are passageways leading to various places. The road is flat. There is no need to worry too much about the sudden attack of German artillery. There are cars in the tunnel, which shows how grand the scale of the whole underground works is. However, cars can only take Khrushchev halfway, not directly to the front line. After all, the construction cost of the whole core works is too high, so the completely hidden car passage only covers a few and a half areas. Khrushchev sat in the car, feeling the dark tunnel, and the dim yellow light at the top of the tunnel. But soon the pleasant journey ended ahead of time, because a large caliber German shell penetrated the top of the tunnel, leaving a huge hole there. At the same time, the falling roof completely blocked the passage of the tunnel“ What's the matter today? It's really strange that we have an extra lunch. " A Soviet veteran holding his rifle sitting in the trench complained, his hands of poor quality black bread above obviously some moldy, but he still eat with relish: "is not the front of the garrison dead, it's time for us to go on?" His companion was just about to answer him when he saw several men in officer's clothes coming. The Soviet soldier quickly stood up and stood at attention, greeting loudly: "Comrade officer! Good afternoon“ Thank you for being able to stand your ground under such harsh conditions. " Khrushchev went up to the young soldier, reached out his hands and shook hands with the young man who was too shocked to speak: "thank you for all you have done for our country!" After all, he came from a political background. Khrushchev's level of attracting and mobilizing people's hearts is not a vanity. He walked about six kilometers, but still kept a smile and shook hands with everyone who was willing to shake hands with him. One by one, he encouraged the soldiers and asked them about their difficulties, which made the soldiers in the whole trench deeply moved“ Comrade Khrushchev! We will defend the territory of our motherland to the death and fight back all aggressors! " The dissatisfied Soviet veterans, who were just now full of tears, are now holding the palm of Khrushchev's hand to express their loyalty. There is no doubt that these Soviet soldiers would be willing to die for Khrushchev“ With you here, I feel full of power! Because of you outstanding patriots who are not afraid of sacrifice, this fortress will never fall! " Khrushchev cheered his soldiers passionately: "hold the position as firm as a rock! The Germans will fail in the end! " At the same time as he spoke, a German heavy artillery shell fell on the position of the Soviet garrison thousands of meters away, sending up a huge cloud of black smoke----------- Thank you for your support and love! Thank you for your reward!
