Igor's method really worked, and with the efforts of the Soviet soldiers, they built rafts as fast as they could, and then drifted into the sea.

Although it is slow and has to drift at sea for a long time, at least it does not need to wait for death or capture in Sevastopol.

But others were not so lucky......

The news of the withdrawal of the senior Soviet commander spread like a plague in Sevastopol, which severely damaged the morale of the Soviet army, so the battle soon tilted one-sidedly in favor of the Germans, and the batteries were captured by the Germans one by one, and then the Germans poured in through the gaps in the defensive line.

The 1st Corps entered Sevastopol ahead of all the troops.

Of course, they entered only when the third battalion arrived and replenished the ammunition.

Everyone thought that there would be a terrible street battle when entering Sevastopol, but this was not the case unexpectedly...... The soldiers of the First Infantry Corps fired only a few shots into the building, and then groups of Soviet soldiers came out of the building with their hands raised and surrendered.

Occasionally, you can hear a few sparse gunshots from inside the city, which seems a little strange, since the First Infantry is the first to arrive, so there should be no fighting in the city.

Later, Qin Chuan learned that this was a Soviet soldier preparing to surrender...... Under these circumstances, few people would be willing to continue the battle, but the Soviet soldiers understood that the political commissars and instructors would not let them surrender, even though the commissars and instructors were also abandoned by the senior officers.

This is not to say that these political workers are advanced in their thinking and have a firm position, but because they clearly know that even if they surrender to the Germans, there will be no way to live, and everyone knows that the Germans will shoot them if they capture them.

Therefore, even if it is in their own interests, they will want to tie up the Soviet soldiers with them and fight until the last moment.

But the Soviet soldiers were unwilling to wait for their death with them, so they clashed before the Germans arrived...... Soviet soldiers staged a riot and killed or captured the workers, and some committed suicide in despair.

So, you can see a corpse in the corner of the wall with a bullet hole in the head of the pistol, some people choose to commit suicide with a grenade, but this is obviously a stupid method, because the Soviet-style wooden handle grenade is uncertain, sometimes the shrapnel that explodes just avoids the vital part and only injures it, and its painful wail makes people feel a little unbearable to listen to, until several German soldiers stepped forward to help him solve the pain.

More than half an hour later, several German troops rushed to Sevastopol one after another to end the battle.

When Qin Chuan and Colonel Slane returned to the headquarters to report to Manstein, Manstein excitedly said to the two, "Do you know? At least ten of the turrets are intact, some of which require only minor repairs and are ready for use. In addition, there is an ammunition depot with thousands of large-caliber shells, and more importantly, the power station, which turned out to be intact...... Any idea what that means? These batteries belong to us! ”

Of course, Qin Chuan knew what that meant.

You must know that it is a huge cannon with a range of 44 kilometers, with them, on the one hand, it can directly shell the Kerch Peninsula on the other side, and on the other hand, it can block the Soviet warships on the sea...... Even if the Soviets sent the battleships of the Black Sea Fleet, it would have helped.

(Note: The Black Sea Fleet has a battleship "Paris Commune" with four triple 305MM guns, but the sea launch hit rate is very low and cannot compete with dozens of 305MM guns on the shore)

"Plus!" As he spoke, Manstein lowered his voice and said to the two: "I will tell you what you have done. Marshal Bock reported, do you know how he answered? ”

Speaking of Manstein, he learned from von. Bock said in a slightly hoarse voice and expression, "Oh, yes? And they did? ”

Manstein raised his head at the two of them and said, "I think you must be really interested in seeing his expression at this time!" ”

"Of course!" Qin Chuan and Slane replied, and then the three of them laughed in unison.

At this time, Feng. Bock was a bit embarrassed, as the performance of the First Infantry was so impressive and proved his previous perception wrong.

However, Feng. Bock, after all, was a professional soldier, and he quickly asked Manstein to give a detailed report on the entire battle, especially the role of the new rifle in the battle...... He wondered if this victory was the reason for the 1st Battalion or the reason for the new rifles.

The report was quickly sent to Von. In Bock's hand, he nodded repeatedly as he flipped through the report.

Sometimes, he couldn't tell whether the first step corps or the rifle was more important, or it could be said that both.

After reading it, Feng. Bock was stunned for a moment, then called Colonel Conrad and said, "I heard you have a new rifle?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Conrad replied: "MP43! ”

"Good!" Feng. Bock said, "How many do you have?" ”

"There are about 7,000 more!" Conrad replied.

The First Infantry Corps was equipped with more than 2,000 of them, and some were left for the First Infantry Corps for later use.

"I want it all!" Feng. "Also, I hope you can produce in large quantities!" Bock said. ”

"Can you elaborate on that, Your Excellency Marshal?" Conrad asked, "How much?" ”

"If it's possible!" Feng. "I mean, if I try it for a while, I'll probably replace all the rifles with it," Bock said. ”

Conrad couldn't help but open his mouth wide when he heard this, and he couldn't speak for a long time, which almost means that K98K is going to be eliminated and MP43 is going to be mass-produced.

Actually, it's not surprising at all, especially in the case of von. Bock saw in the report that the first corps could defeat two regiments of the 138th Brigade of the Soviet Army in half an hour...... Although this is due to the military quality of the first corps and the factors of being prepared for combat, it is clear that MP43 is also one of the reasons.

However, it is very difficult to achieve large-scale refitting in a short period of time, which involves small production and large troop size, as well as training problems after equipment, so for the time being, only MP43 can be used to replace submachine guns.

Feng. Bock, of course, would not tell Manstein about these things, and if he did, he would actually admit defeat in disguise.

Therefore, when he called Manstein later, he said in a stern tone: "General, the battle of Sevastopol was fought beautifully, but ...... Our target is the entire Kerry Peninsula, the Soviets still have four more armies on the Kerch Peninsula, you can't take it lightly, and they must be annihilated in a short time, understand? ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal!" Manstein replied.
