Chapter 756 Occupation
Surovikino fell into a sea of flames in an instant, while Soviet bombers and attack planes were still taking off in batches and dropping oil barrels to Surovikino... What the pilots had to do seemed to be very simple. Look down, where there is no flame, throw the oil drum there.
Then, the river will naturally spread the gasoline seeped out of the gasoline and connect it with the flames in other areas.
Some areas run out of gasoline, so bombers and attack aircraft will use gasoline to drop again.
So, the whole sky was full of black smoke and water vapor, and the air was filled with the burnt smell of foreign gasoline.
With the air force constantly replenishing "fuel", the fire burned for more than half an hour... To be precise, it should be a large-scale fire that lasted for more than half an hour. The burning building was always emitting black smoke. The water is like a torch standing upright.
In fact, this was also done by the German army itself.
Because if the German army does not give up its air supremacy, the Soviet army may not be able to implement this tactic of airdropping gasoline barrels at all...With the strength of the German Air Force, they will fully control the air supremacy of Surovikino. The Soviet bombers and attack aircraft companies approach Suro It is difficult for Vagino, let alone throwing gasoline barrels one after another.
While Shulka was observing the fire in Sulovkino with a telescope, Zolotarev made a phone call to Shulka's headquarters.
"Comrade Shulka, congratulations, you have won!" Zolotarev's voice trembled with excitement: "I have already reported the situation to the Supreme Command, and the Supreme Command sent us a congratulatory message and Instruct us to occupy and break through Surovikino, and approach the Southwest Front Army as quickly as possible! The Supreme Command will fully support our actions!"
"Yes, Comrade Zolotarev!" Shulka replied: "I'm glad to hear that!"
Shulka is telling the truth. Although the Supreme Command turned Shulka's plan into his order, it is a good thing to get the full support of the Supreme Command anyway, just like the supply transportation organized by the Supreme Command Same, that is indeed quite powerful, and it can even be said that without those supplies, there would be no victory in this battle.
As soon as Shulka waved his hand, the amphibious landing ship unit set off again and headed towards Surovikino.
This time, the fleet did not have much resistance.
If there is any resistance, it is that most of the buildings are burning and cannot be searched... But it seems that there is no need to search them. If there are still living people inside, I am afraid that there will be only gasps left.
Occasionally there will be a few gunshots, but at least half of them are the gunshots of German soldiers committing suicide...Compared to being burned, suicide with a gun is obviously more enjoyable.
The amphibious landing ship waited on the periphery for a while, waited for the fire to burn out, and then carefully drove the ship in.
The air was oppressive and deadly, and the smell of burning and choking smoke was everywhere. The amphibious landing ship was driving between the burning buildings. The fully armed and energetic soldiers on board were surrounded by a tragic scene on both sides and the river water. The charred bodies were a stark contrast.
Denisokov was even taken aback by one of the corpses.
"It, it's alive..." Denisokov yelled at a dead body.
Looking in the direction indicated by Denisokov, Shulka saw that it was a German soldier floating on the water with his head burned beyond recognition. The reason why he knew he was still alive was because his eyes were still rolling. Lips twitched in pain.
Shulka could imagine what this soldier went through.
It is absolutely impossible to survive inside the building. The only way to survive should be in the water... If you can hold your breath in the water for a long time, you will suffer as few burns as possible.
However, that is only "as little as possible", and the result may be even worse, directly burned to death, just like the German soldier I saw in front of me.
A Soviet soldier raised his rifle, pointed it at his dark head, and then mercifully took his life away with a "bang" shot.
The soldiers of the Soviet Army were not all single-minded or simple and rude. It should be said that when there are too many people, there will inevitably be people with various personalities, and the same is true for soldiers.
Then, the Soviet army successfully occupied Surovikino.
When Shulka reported this result to Zolotarev, of course he received praise and encouragement again.
In fact, Zolotarev should be the most enjoyable at this time.
As a political commissar, the 51st Army was completely different before and after he came: the previous 51st Army was sacrificed in pieces by being rushed to the battlefield, and political commissar Shevchenko was still a "collaborator" traitor".
After Zolotarev came, the 51st Army completely changed its appearance, and took the strategically important Surovikino without any effort.
Although this is due to Shulka, who knows what Zolotarev will say when he reports it? What's more, all this happened after he came to the 51st Army and started commanding.
So, it is conceivable that Zolotarev's future career will be on another level.
Shuerka doesn't care about this, because he knows the saying that the gun shoots the first bird, so it's best to keep a low profile now.
The water level began to drop after ten minutes.
At this time, the engineers have already started to explore the road. They need to find the submerged railway line as soon as possible... The tank has a certain ability to ford, so there is no need to wait for the railway to fully surface before starting to march.
This is for the sake of saving time, and of course it is also a battle requirement.
"Is there time?" Mikhailvich asked.
At this time, Mikhailvich's injuries are almost the same...I can't say exactly, because his right hand is already paralyzed, and it will dangle around his shoulder like a cloth bag when running.
For the convenience of movement, Mikhailvich tied it to the armed belt, which made him look like one hand on his hip at all times.
"I don't know!" Shulka replied.
Shuerka knows very limited information. For example, if he is commanding operations now, he should at least get the location of the German reinforcements or another enemy line of defense from the Air Force, or the enemy's strength and composition.
But Shulka knew nothing.
After thinking for a while, Shulka said, "However, I don't think that's what we need to worry about!"
"What do you mean?" asked Mikhailvich.
"If before this, the battle in the direction of Surovikino has not attracted enough attention or consensus from the enemy!" Shurka said: "Then there should be no problem now!"
