Chapter 455 Contact
In any case, the wreckage of the "Tiger" was smoothly transported into a relatively safe underground warehouse.
Shuerka contacted the Front Army Command at this ti.
The way of contacting has gone through a turning point... first contacted Katukov, and then reported to the Front Army Command in the na of the 1st Guards Tank Brigade Command, which attracted attention.
But it didn’t pay much attention, because as Shulka guessed, chlis didn’t know what it ant, so he just nodded to indicate that he had received the telegram and threw it aside.
Until the phone line was connected, Shulka called hlis.
Originally, this call would not be able to reach the headquarters of the front army at all. To be precise, it would be intercepted and eliminated by the staff officer, but Shurka showed his identity and the staff knew that Shurka was interested in hlis. Say sothing.
After many twists and turns, Shulka finally heard hlis's voice.
At this mont, Shulka couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This almost took more ti than driving directly to the headquarters.
"Shulka? Are you in Feodosia?" chlis asked in surprise, "I always thought you were still fighting in Zhankoy. Once again, you won a brilliant victory. Our plan succeeded. There is almost nowhere to escape..."
"Yes, Comrade chlis!" said Shulka, "I know that, but I think you should co to the railway station!"
"Train station? Why?"
"I'll explain it to you then!"
chlis hesitated for a mont, and then replied: "Perhaps, I can let Alexei go for !"
chelis does not leave his fortress easily, especially during the day.
Even now the Luftwaffe is bombing Zhankhoi with all its might and putting Feodosia aside.
Shulka didn't expect this, he just hoped that Mahlis could see the "Tiger" with his own eyes and realize the importance of the problem.
But now I find it all in vain.
However, this does not seem to be important. The important thing is that Shulka can persuade hlis to let the Navy transport the "Tiger" wreckage away instead of staying here as soon as possible while ensuring safety.
Thinking of this, Shulka replied: "No, Comrade hlis, let go to the headquarters!"
Later, when chlis realized how much credit the wreckage of the "Tiger" was, there was no need for Shulka to say anything, and he ran to the warehouse in a hurry.
He even reported to Stalin while touching the "Tiger": "Yes, I am sure, Comrade Stalin, because it is right in front of my eyes!"
Of course, this is all for later.
It has been more than half an hour since Shulka reappeared in chelis' headquarters.
chlis is the sa as before, happily asking for credit from Moscow... This is one of the reasons why the front army command cannot receive news. Most of the radio stations here are used to contact Moscow instead of commanding troops to fight.
It was Alexis who ca up to him.
"Welco, Comrade Shulka!" Alexey said, "I didn't expect that we would et again!"
"Shuerka!" chlis yelled exaggeratedly when he saw Shurka, and then gave Shurka a hug: "Our hero, welco back from the front line!"
"Comrade hlis!" Shulka said: "I am here this ti to report to you that we have encountered a new type of enemy tank on the battlefield!"
"Oh, is this new tank very powerful?" hlis asked while pouring Shulka a drink: "Is it more powerful than our T34?"
"Yes!" Shulka replied: "We can only pose a threat to it within a range of two hundred ters, but it may destroy our T34 from one kiloter away!"
chlis couldn't help being taken aback for a mont, and then laughed with the staff.
"That's the funniest joke I've ever heard!" hlis said.
It's not that he doesn't believe in Shulka, but he doesn't believe that such a tank exists.
Shuerka didn't laugh, he just replied coldly: "We seized one, and it's at the train station only ten kiloters away from here. We have already reported it to the headquarters!"
Everyone's smiles froze quickly.
Even hlis, knowing that the enemy has such a tank, understands that this is a big deal.
After thinking for a while, chlis jumped up from his chair: "Have you seized one?"
"Yes!" Shulka replied: "A wreck of a tank, to be exact, we destroyed it and brought it back!"
"Very good, Shulka!" said hlis, "Very good!"
After walking a few steps, just when others thought he was about to issue an order, he asked Alexei: "What should we do?"
"Transport it to a safe place imdiately!" Alexei turned his gaze to Shulka: "Do you think so, Captain?"
"Yes!" Shulka said: "I suggest that we should send it to the Caucasus, and at the sa ti transfer several tank experts or scientists. It has great research value!"
"Just do it!" chlis said, "But before that, I'm going to see this tank!"
There is only one thing that can make chlis walk out of the fortress despite the danger of his life, and that is credit.
When the canvas was lifted off and the huge body of the "Tiger" was displayed in front of chlis, he couldn't help being stunned. Although he didn't know what its guns and armor ant, it was a body after all. A tank that has never been seen on the battlefield.
chelis described it to Stalin in the telegram: "It is simply a moving fortress, with a thick barrel and heavy armor. I seem to see it advancing on the battlefield while firing at our tanks. But our soldiers were not afraid, they bravely defeated it, this monster, and successfully captured it and brought it to ..."
"Transport it to the rear imdiately!" Stalin gave an order.
"Yes, we're going to do that!"
So, everyone's eyes are actually not in the direction of Khoi, and even the air force is used to protect the wreckage of the "Tiger" to withdraw to the Caucasus.
This approach itself is not wrong, because the enemy's new tank is too important. It not only allows the Soviet army to fully understand the data and performance of the enemy's tanks, such as artillery attack distance, T34 penetration distance, etc., but also can learn from it. "Tiger" so technology.
The problem is that Katukov did not expect Manstein to play a trick on the Perekop Isthmus, and he lost the opportunity to wipe out the elite of the German 11th Army.
But Shulka didn't expect this either.
That is to say, even if Shulka's attention is in the direction of Koi instead of "Tiger", Manstein can also get away calmly.
