In fact, Colonel Slain arranged Major Eberhard as an adjutant of Qin Chuan.

The main reason is that Qin Chuan is often unable to command his position. For example, when Qin Chuan was the company commander, he was more likely to command the entire regiment with Colonel Slein and even participate in the command and planning of the entire army.

Colonel Slain had reason to think that this situation would continue, so he arranged for the experienced Major Eberhard to be the adjutant to take charge of the entire battalion when necessary.

The First Infantry Regiment waited for two hours in Solione until the main German troops arrived here one after another.

Then Qin Chuan did not rush to let the First Infantry Regiment march towards the Caucasus region immediately.

Half an hour later, Manstein took his assistant on a Juncker transport plane and landed in Solione under the protection of two BF109s.

This surprised everyone, because Manstein did not often come to the front line to command like Rommel.

"Captain!" When Manstein saw Qin Chuan, he couldn't help but happily stepped forward and shook hands with Qin Chuan. When he saw Qin Chuan's military rank, he changed his words and said, "Oh, maybe I should call you Major!"

"Welcome, Your Excellency Marshal!" Qin Chuan said: "But you don't seem to need to come here. I mean... it's not safe here!"

"Is that?" Manstein replied: "But I think it's safest to have you there!"

Manstein's answer soon won the proud eyes of the officers and soldiers.

Unlike Rommel, Manstein rarely praises anyone directly. He usually in a more obscure way to stimulate the inner feelings of officers and soldiers... This may also be said to be a kind of implicitness of the nobles.

In the command center, Manstein said to the officers: "First of all, I want to tell you a good news. The Head of State is very satisfied with the victory we have achieved. At the same time, he believes that it is entirely necessary to strengthen the strength of the 11th Army, so he transferred 300 fighter jets from the 8th Air Force to reinforce us!"

The officers couldn't help but feel excited. They all knew what this meant... Originally, if there were only 200 fighter jets, although they could also gain air supremacy in a certain local airspace, that's all. If they wanted to bomb enemy airports, ports, and warships, the 200 fighter jets would be a little stretched.

But if 300 fighter jets are added, there will be a lot of room for maneuver.

"Also!" Manstein pointed to the map and said, "The Head of State will also order Army A to launch an attack on the Soviet Union's Don defense line to cooperate with our attack on the Caucasus."

After pausing, Manstein looked around and asked, "So, what are we waiting for? We should advance into the Caucasus region immediately!"

"Marson Marshal!" Qin Chuan said: "I think we should wait a little longer in Solione!"

"What are you waiting for?" asked Manstein.

"Wait until they come to rescue the Taman Peninsula!" Qin Chuan pointed to the map and said, "We occupied Solione, which means we pinched the seven inches of the Taman Peninsula. The 32nd Soviet Guard Infantry Division will be besieged by us on the Taman North Island. At that time..."

Manstein couldn't help but say "oh" and nodded.

This issue must be left to the Soviets to consider.

At this time, the command of the 47th Army was already in chaos. The telegram flew towards Major General Kotov, the commander of the Army, like snowflakes. Beads of sweat slowly flowed down his forehead, because all the information he received was not good news, either the Black Sea Fleet was intercepted by enemy artillery, or the reinforcements sent to the Southern Peninsula were wiped out.

But these were nothing. What he couldn't accept the most was that Solione Airport was lost... In less than two hours, less than two hours before the German army landed on the Southern Peninsula, Solione Airport completely lost contact with the command center.

Major General Kotov knew what it meant to lose contact during the battle. He just didn't understand why the Germans could act so quickly and why they could launch such a fast landing war and even drove the tanks from the other end... He didn't believe it when Afjeevich reported this information before, thinking that it was Afjeevich's timid and cowardly expression. Unexpectedly, after confirmation, he realized that all this was true.

Major General Kotov leaned dejectedly on the chair, holding his painful head.

He felt a little uneasy and even had an impulse to ask the Germans how to use this kind of "blitz" battle that was even more "blitz" than "blitz". It doesn't matter if they were captured or died under their guns, because Major General Kotov had the intention of committing suicide at this time...

This battle is different from the battle on the Kerch Peninsula.

Although the battle on the Kerch Peninsula suffered much greater losses, three armies were captured and one army was defeated, losing countless troops and equipment.

However, the failure of the Kerch Peninsula is a tactical failure, and even if the Kerch Peninsula is occupied by the German army, it will not have much impact on the Soviet army's overall plan and the Caucasus region.

The battles on the Taman Peninsula are completely different.

The Taman Peninsula has the Kerch Strait as a natural barrier. The 47th Army has two divisions and two brigades in its hands (relative to the Soviet army), as well as tanks, artillery, fighter jets, warships... But all the units that were confused were defeated without coming to play their roles in a hurry.

What's worse is that this failure is a strategic failure because it directly defends the security of the Caucasus region.

"Comrade Kotov!" The staff officer held the phone and said to Major General Kotov: "Comrade Budoni's phone number!"

Major General Kotov hesitated for a moment and then answered the phone.

"Comrade Kotov!" Mikhailovich Budoni's calm voice came from the phone: "Your staff has reported the battle situation to me in detail. I don't think your command is at fault. The main reason why we will fail in this battle is that the enemy has put in new equipment that we don't know!"

Just a few words were like giving Major General Kotov a shot of a heart-warming injection, which made Major General Kotov suddenly feel energetic, and was almost moved to tears.

Marshal Mihailovich Budoni was the commander of the North Caucasus Front. He was born in a poor family and participated in heavy labor since he was a child and lived with poor people. Therefore, it was difficult for him to understand the difficulties of his subordinates.

"The most important thing now!" Marshal Bujonny continued: "It's not about the failure now, but about minimizing our losses, do you understand?"

"Yes, Comrade Budoni!" Major General Kotov replied, and asked, "What should I do now?"
