The first thousand one hundred and sixty-eight chapters used to be good friends
Cotlin Island Central, Base Command.
Although the main forces of the Baltic fleet were transferred to Tallinn, Kronstadt was still the most important transportation route of the Soviet Union and an important base of the navy.
Now in the base is Rear Admiral Pandeleev. He heard the rumbling sound on the beach outside. At this time, his face was quite ugly.
"Where is our fighter plane? Take off our fighter plane immediately!" Pandeleev said: "The German navy dared to hit our doorstep."
There is no such thing as bullying, the other party's bomber actually came to his own home. This is simply a shame.
As the Red Flag Baltic Fleet, it is the largest fleet of the Soviets. In addition to various ships, it also has a powerful naval aviation force, with more than 300 fighter jets and nearly 200 bombers.
Now, the German air force is raging and bombing their fleet. At this time, their fighter planes need to take off and expel them.
Major General Pandeleev took office two days ago. All he had was literal data. Now, when he heard his words, Colonel Petrov was quite helpless.
"We can't mobilize any aircraft right now."
"Why?"
"In order to defend Petersburg, Marshal Voroshinov mobilized all our air forces away," said Colonel Petrov.
When the Germans launched this war, they almost instantly wiped out the air force in western Soviet Union to the airport. After that, almost all the Luftwaffe was active over the entire battlefield.
The Soviet Union was catching up. They woke up from the hasty battle. The huge state machine immediately started to move and mobilized weapons everywhere.
Marshal Voroshinov, the northern military region of the Soviet Union, came in person. Stalin gave him the task to protect Petersburg, a sacred city, from damage to the Germans.
So Voroshinov was unscrupulous and drew weapons and equipment from all over the place. The naval aviation in the Baltic Sea seemed to be empty for the time being, so he simply drew the naval aviation back to protect Petersburg.
The apparent reason is that the Navy's aviation base was also bombed, and a new field base was built in Petersburg and the Air Force was first mobilized.
So, after the war started, under the German air strike, the Baltic Navy Air Force, which had less than a hundred fighter jets, all transferred to Petersburg.
In terms of distance, it is actually not far. The base here is only a few dozen kilometers away from Petersburg, but this has already involved the transfer of cross-military branches. After one by one, the Germans had already run away.
It is definitely too late to mobilize the aviation force now.
"Commander, no, our Mara battleship was sunk by the Germans!" At this moment, the amazing news came to the headquarters.
"Our battleship of the October Revolution is sinking."
"Our No. 3 shore defense gun was destroyed."
One by one, the information was constantly reported. Pandeleev covered his head in pain and watched the Baltic fleet disappear, but they could only watch and could not carry out any counterattack!
For the Baltic Fleet of the Soviet Union, this day is unforgettable for them.
The Stuka bombers were raging, and there were not many. If the Baltic fleet dispatched even five fighters, they could be expelled.
But they did not, their fleet, were ravaged by the ravages of Stuka bombers, and their shore artillery positions were also bombed by Germany.
One by one, the anti-aircraft guns fired violently at the sky, as if to release the resentment in their hearts, but it was useless. The German bombers seemed to have hidden themselves. When their artillery fire stopped, the Stuka bombers suddenly came out of nowhere and dived towards the shore gun position.
On the sea, the rest of the warships were in a state of being unruly.
The Baltic Sea is huge in size. In terms of number, it has 2 battleships, 2 cruisers, 21 destroyers, 7 frigates, etc. Now, it is almost the main force of the entire fleet.
The two battleships have been attacked on the waterway, and they blocked the waterway, making it impossible for other warships outside to pass through.
What's even more serious is that the commander of the fleet was on the Mara. Because the Mara was sunk so fast that until now, they still do not know the life or death of the fleet commander.
Without anyone's command, they were almost in a mess.
Originally, the one who followed the Mara was the USS Kirov cruiser, which was the latest cruiser that only entered service in 38 years. This cruiser, along with other destroyers and frigates in the fleet, was almost all evidence of Soviet-German friendship.
This warship with a displacement of 8,000 tons is the largest warship built by the Soviet Navy shipyard itself. The Soviet Union had no such experience. Fortunately, the relationship between Germany and the Soviet Union was close, so this warship was almost designed by German engineers.
The other Dezezinski-class frigates and Tashkent-class destroyers in the fleet were built directly by the Germans. The Soviet Union only needed to barter with mineral resources. This cruiser was built by the Soviets themselves with the help of Germany.
A few years ago, the relationship between the Soviet Navy and the German Navy was still very good. The two sides even held joint exercises in the North Sea. Unexpectedly, the Germans actually erected cannons at the Soviet Union.
On the bridge, Captain Alessandrov didn't know what it felt. Just after the two battleships were destroyed, the dive bombers almost came to him.
This warship was originally designed by the Germans. The Germans are very clear about the weaknesses in air defense. If the other party dives, they will not be spared. Who would have thought that they would turn around and fire the shore artillery. Why?
"Alarm, discover the German fleet!" At this moment, the lookout whistle on the mast suddenly shouted loudly, and a German fleet appeared on the sea in the distance!
Alessandrov turned his head and looked into the distance with his telescope. He immediately opened his mouth wide. The 380mm naval gun with a high gun barrel! In an instant, he recognized the other party's model.
"Hurry, get closer to our shore, hurry!" At this time, he already knew why the other party was shooting their shore cannons, but now, they had almost no other choice except with the protection of the shore cannons.
