The first thousand three hundred and forty chapters sank with the warship
The Red Caucasus lost its power on the Black Sea and could only float on the sea. Black smoke came out from its tail. Until now, the sailors were still struggling to rescue. This was their warship, and they would not let it sink into the cold sea water.
And Germany will not let it continue to float.
Two kilometers away, an F190 fighter was flying low over the water. After the pilot checked the launch data for the last time, he pressed the button.
A direct flight torpedo fell off the mount on the belly of the aircraft and fell into the sea water. The propeller at the tail rotated at high speed and rushed towards the Red Caucasus!
"Note that there are torpedoes on our starboard side!" Wangshou was still faithfully performing his mission. When he found that the other party threw a torpedo, he immediately issued a loud alarm.
If the power system of the Red Caucasus is still intact, it can easily avoid the direct torpedo, and accelerate or slow down. But now, everyone in the bridge is watching the churning water splashes on the sea. It is a high-speed thermal torpedo, but they can do nothing about it.
"Accelerate, accelerate!" On the right side of the Red Caucasus, a destroyer bravely started up. The captain shouted loudly, as if he didn't know that the Turbine Army had already adjusted to Advance Five.
The destroyer blocked the torpedo's route with its hull. Then, a huge explosion came, and suddenly, flames soared into the sky.
In the fleet, the main warships are protected in the center and the outer escort warships. At critical moments, they have to use their bodies to block the torpedoes, just like the bodyguards have to block the bullets at critical moments.
This brave destroyer helped block the torpedo, but it only helped once.
Just as it ignited a fire, another f190 dropped a torpedo on the port side. The torpedo was an electric torpedo and there were no bubbles tumbling on the water. Just as everyone was watching the burning destroyer, it had already rushed to the Red Caucasus!
"boom!"
Just like the position of the shot that was shot in the dive attack, it hit the rear of the Red Caucasus just right. This 10,000-ton warship had not considered any underwater protection when it was manufactured. Now, with the explosion of the torpedo, the back was immediately torn apart.
The surging sea water poured in and the hull was sinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"General, leave quickly, the ship is about to sink!" Tiller shouted loudly to Gorshkov.
Gorshkov shook his head: "No."
"If you don't leave, then I won't leave either!" Tiller said: "All the officers and soldiers of our ship are with this ship!"
"Tiller, you still have a difficult task," said Gorshkov. "No matter how hard you work, you must return to the shore and go to Moscow to report this battle of our fleet to Comrade Stalin."
The fleet was almost completely wiped out, so Moscow was still unaware of how the Black Sea Fleet was annihilated. Now, it is necessary to report to Tiller.
Hearing this, Tiller was dissatisfied. At this time, the hull had begun to tilt and could not stand at all. Tiller almost shouted: "No, why should I go? You are the commander of the fleet, and you will go if you want to go!"
No one knows Tiller's mentality at this time.
Angry? You don’t even go to such a shameful thing, so let me report it?
Wait? Only in this way can Gorshkov be persuaded to leave?
"I'm sorry." Gorshkov actually said such words to his subordinates, and his face was helpless: "I have no shame to see Comrade Stalin. I have lost all the entire Black Sea Fleet. I know that this request is too much for you. However, the Black Sea Fleet did not admit defeat in this situation. It has always fought until the last moment. We must carry forward our spirit and let the whole Soviet know that your task is arduous. Forgive me, I am a coward."
"No!" Tiller still disagreed. He reached out to Ragorshkov, but found that he could not pull it. After seeing again, Gorshkov had tied his armed forces to the seat. At this time, he had tidied up his collar and said seriously: "Now, I order you to report this battle to Moscow in the name of the fleet commander. Are you going to disobey the military order?"
The Red Caucasus sank within three minutes of being hit by a torpedo.
Tiller sat on the lifeboat, watching the sea water scattered across the hull and the bridge, and finally the mast was too young. Tiller's heart was full of all kinds.
It was not only the Red Caucasus that sank, but also other warships were bombed during this period, and the entire fleet was burning, and they had disappeared as an independent fleet!
This day is the end of the Black Sea Fleet.
At this time, the sun was about to set, and at the other end of the sea, we had already seen the huge German fleet. Unfortunately, they now do not even have the ability to fire a shot.
Tiller clenched his fists, and Tiller felt two tears flowing down his cheeks, and he was mourning the collapse of the entire fleet.
Where the Red Caucasus sank, the sea water gathered into a whirlpool, and it refused to stop at the sinking point, as if it was a memorial service.
The Black Sea Fleet's sorrow was long destined. After Germany occupied the entire Mediterranean, the Black Sea Fleet became an inland sea fleet, and they were shut down and beaten to death.
If we analyze it from a tactical perspective, Germany is very exciting, exposing the Black Sea Fleet's aviation base, attacking with carrier-based aircraft power, and using submarines to sneak attack the main force of the Black Sea Fleet first. These tactics are enough to become classics.
However, if it is essentially determined by the strength of the state, when the Soviets could not even build a large battleship, when the Soviets wanted to buy 406 guns and aircraft carriers from Germany, the doomsday of the Soviet navy was destined.
You cannot become stronger by purchasing. Only your own industrial strength can make yourself truly stronger!
And for the Black Sea Fleet, their battle is not over yet.
The night gradually enveloped the Black Sea. After completely killing the main force of the Black Sea Fleet, Mashar ordered the fleet to advance towards the Krim Peninsula. Now it was finally his own battleship turn to appear and completely use naval bases to completely level them with naval guns!
Then, it was time to go north to support Ao Sad, and at the same time cruised in the Black Sea to prevent the Soviets from continuing to support Ao Sad.
(In the history of the Soviet Navy, Gorshkov was a great man. He presided over the Soviet Navy for decades. Even in Khrushchev's era, he eventually developed the Soviet Navy into an ocean navy. Although heavy aircraft cruisers sound funny, it is indeed a symbol of the power of the Soviet Navy. The heroes of East China also respect this person very much, so they arranged such a heroic ending for him.)
