Imperial Overlord

Vasilevsky stood in the underground bunker, looking at the distant positions through the narrow gap. There was thick smoke billowing there, and it had been burning for three days. ..

Originally, Vasilev planned to have people put out the fire over there, but after several attempts, he gave up such a futile attempt.

The Axis battleships were too fierce, and his coastal defense artillery had long been beaten.

In the battles that followed a few days later, the Axis warships were constantly bombarding Sevastopol, and the Sevastopol battery was rarely able to launch a counterattack.

Although the German army could not destroy the underground fortifications of Sevastopol such as the Gorky, the German army could destroy the surface fort and firepower, making the Soviet fortress useless.

The current situation is that Sevastopol has indeed lost most of its ground fortifications, and even a few 305mm main battery fortifications have been destroyed.

"Report! Comrade Commander! The telegram just arrived. The German army has broken through the outer defense line and has entered the Crimean Peninsula." An officer walked in, stood at attention, and reported what had just happened.

The German team entered the Crimean Peninsula, which is undoubtedly bad news for Vasilevsky.

Now he can be said to be facing the enemy on both sides, with the German infantry in front of him, and the Axis fleet behind him constantly harassing him.

What made him even more depressed was that the Sevastopol fortress group, which could have caused damage to the German infantry, was almost scrapped.

"What am I supposed to do with this? How am I supposed to guard this?" Vasilevsky took the document dejectedly and complained.

Wherever he built defensive positions, the Germans had a terrifying amount of fire support - which position could withstand the baptism of 70 380mm guns?

As long as the German army chose the breakthrough point within 0 kilometers of the coastline, the Soviet defense line would not be able to stand.

The Axis fleet only needed a salvo to dismantle the ordinary Soviet lines of defense. That is the heavy artillery of the navy, and its destructive power is not comparable to the slim artillery of the army!

Abandoning most of the Crimean Peninsula can avoid losses in a short period of time, but it is not a good idea to concentrate troops and retreat to Sevastopol.

This will make the German bombardment more concentrated - in comparison, the destructive power of the German artillery after the concentration is more powerful.

What's more, there is a fatal problem, Vasilevsky must make a careful judgment: how many napalm bombs the Germans have left!

Once the troops were concentrated and entrenched in underground fortifications that lacked the support of ground positions, the German napalm was deadly enough.

Since the start of the fighting in Sevastopol, some Soviet soldiers in underground bunkers were attacked by napalm, resulting in a large number of suffocation deaths.

So gathering the troops together is definitely not a foolproof option. At least in Vasilevsky's view, it is definitely not a good choice.

"What do we do now?" Hearing the unfortunate news, all the officers in the bunker turned pale and asked.

They are now completely surrounded, and before the entire Crimea Peninsula as a support, but now only half of them are left.

The most pitiful thing is that the remaining half is about to be occupied by the enemy. They were powerless to defend any position and could only be compressed and annihilated.

"There is nothing to do, we will stick to every position and die with the enemy!" Vasilevsky gritted his teeth and ordered.

He still has more than 20,000 soldiers and more than 2,000 naval soldiers in his hands! With these combat troops, he is confident that he can last for more than a week.

"We want to be like Kyiv! Keep fighting! Ukraine belongs to the Soviets! No one can take it!" Finally, Vasilevsky encouraged everyone: "Whoever wants to take it, just step over our corpse and talk about it!"

Until now, the news of the German occupation of Kyiv has not reached the Sevastopol region.

The Soviet side blocked the relevant news, and the German side broadcast, no matter what the content, the Soviet officers and soldiers were reluctant to believe easily.

Although much of what is said on the German radio is actually true: for example, Moscow has been occupied by the Germans, Minsk has been occupied by the Germans, Kyiv has been occupied by the Germans...

"Comrade Commander! We are all willing to follow you!" The inspired Soviet officers regained some fighting spirit and expressed their desire to fight to the death.

After walking out of the observation bunker, he walked down the slightly dim corridor-only in the bunker, which was deeply hidden in the ground, would Vasilevsky feel a little bit of a sense of security.

The bombardment of the Germans made the ground tremble. Who knows when the entire fortress will be bombed down?

The lighting in the hallway was artificially removed in half, because the diesel reserves in the fortress were limited, and they used these reserves to hold on for longer.

Therefore, at night, the generators in most areas will stop working, and the underground fortress group will lose power in a large area.

In addition, in all the passages connecting the main fortresses, the lighting is halved - the saved power generation fuel can make the entire fortress last longer.

There is also a large amount of ammunition stored here, which can provide enough ammunition for 20,000 soldiers~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Even if the battle is fierce, the reserves here can be squandered for several months.

It can be said that Vasilevsky can persist in Sevastopol for a long time with only these underground bunkers.

"Comrade General!" A staff officer caught up with Vasilevsky, who walked back to the deep underground bunker, and asked, "There is no news from Kyiv yet. Do you think it is really still standing there?"

"I don't know the situation over there, but after all, the Kyiv defense line has been in operation for a long time. There should be no problem in sticking to it for a month, right?" Vasilevsky slowed down and answered the question from his subordinates.

"But... the German army's radio station has been broadcasting the news that Kyiv has been occupied by them!" The staff officer heard Vasilevsky's answer and lowered his voice.

Vasilevsky glanced at him and asked back: "How can you easily believe what the enemy says?"

"However, we haven't received a telegram from Kyiv for a long time." The staff officer gave the basis for his guess from the side: "Before Moscow fell, a telegram would be sent every few hours..."
