Chapter 404: Chaotic Retreat

As the supreme commander of Cam Ranh Bay, Lieutenant General Zaikov immediately ordered the firepower points around the base to be put into full combat readiness at the beginning of the battle, so the personnel entered the combat positions to meet the arrival of the first wave of attacks. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

However, after the Soviets took over Cam Ranh Bay, the lease period was 20 years, and they never thought that there would be foreign enemies who would copy from the back, so there was only a circle of barbed wire outside the base, and now in an emergency, it is just a scattered temporary defense point made of sandbags, not to mention the battle tank, I am afraid that a truck can rush in.

Zaikov knew that Cam Ranh Bay could not be defended, and those fighters in the sky were just helping them to delay time, and when all these fighters were consumed, the fighters of the Chinese army would rush to the port, and then not only the airport would be bombed, but even the ships in the harbor might be sunk or even captured.

"I lit up an hour ago and let all the warships be set on fire and offshore, and the ground forces retreated to the warships, how come there are still a few ships in the harbor that have not moved at all!" The air force at the base was finished, and Zaikov thought that it would be a great success if he could bring back all the ships at the base, and then the Pacific Fleet in Vladivostok would go south to meet them. It's just that the chimneys of most of the warships in the port have begun to emit smoke, but there are still a few warships still calmly parked at their posts and do not move, which makes people a little anxious.

"Some of these ships have engines that are being repaired, some of them have no oil in them, and some of them are for some other reason, and they always can't start right away, at least five or six hours." Some soldiers immediately ran over to respond, and after the Soviets took over Cam Ranh Bay, they established an advanced fleet logistics supply system in the port, which could carry out unrepaired supply of warships.

Lao Maozi's warships were originally crudely built, and they were definitely not meticulously built, and it was inevitable that all kinds of minor problems would arise in warships under complex sea conditions, and they must be constantly tinkering to maintain their combat effectiveness.

"I don't dare if there is a problem with other warships, why is the Minsk still standing still! I don't care what you do, even if you jump down and push it, you'll have to push it out of the harbor for me! "What really made Zaikov angry was not the cruisers, but the flagship of the Pacific Fleet, the 40,000-ton Minsk aircraft carrier, which did not move, which is a bit urgent.

"The Minsk is repairing the drive turbines and replacing one of the parts inside, so all four turbines are now dismantled." The logistics officer of the base hurriedly stood up and reported that during the journey from Vladivostok to Cam Ranh Bay, two of the four Minsk turbines were broken, and after inspection, it was found that one of the parts inside was seriously worn out due to design problems and must be replaced immediately, otherwise when the remaining two were also broken, the Minsk would really be unable to move.

"Hurry up and let the engineer load it back, it's our flagship, if it stops in the port and is captured by the Chinese, you don't retreat, it may be more decent to jump directly into the sea." Zaikov roared and jumped up from his seat, his emotions were faint for some time, the fleet evacuation must take the Minsk aircraft carrier away anyway, if this thing is captured by the Chinese, it will be a big joke.

The navy has not experienced war for too long, and the whole army is lazy and lazy, and when the real danger comes, problems arise everywhere.

"No, spare parts have to be shipped from Ukraine, but there was a problem with the parts when they were dispatched at the airport, and I don't know where they were sent and are now looking for them. Now airports across the country are prioritizing the delivery of military supplies to Afghanistan, and other transportation has to be in the back! ”

It turned out that the Soviet Union was fully preparing for the South Asian War, and all the domestic material dispatches were close to the front line first, and the parts to be replaced by the Minsk aircraft carrier were not particularly urgent, it was just a gear, as long as it was replaced, it would be no problem, and it belonged to daily minor repairs. But this part is very critical, without replacing the four turbines on the ship, it will not be able to move, and the Minsk will have to stop at sea.

Under normal circumstances, it is normal for an aircraft carrier to stop at the port for several months, and it is normal to repair and replace some worn parts during berthing, and it is generally not in a hurry.

Who knew that the Minsk aircraft carrier hit the muzzle of the gun, and at the critical moment to replace the parts, change it! It's still the most important propulsion system.

Zaikov, a vice admiral who has been on a warship for more than a decade, naturally knows what it means if a turbine is broken. He sat back in his chair and was silent, seeing that the commander was silent, the noisy command room suddenly became silent, and everyone stood still and quietly looked at their commander, waiting for him to give orders.

Zaikov's mind was confused for a while, a hit fighter plane crashed on the hill outside the base, the violent shock wave shook the window, the war was so close, many officers in the command room looked at the crowded and chaotic port outside with some concern, at this speed, it would not take three or five hours, the ships in the port would not want to be withdrawn, but the tank division of the Chinese army was already close at hand, and according to satellite images, it would arrive at Cam Ranh Bay in twenty minutes at the earliest.

That's the tank armored division of the Chinese! There are more than 20,000 people in one division, 366 M1 heavy tanks, more than 200 infantry fighting vehicles, countless other vehicles of various types, and as many as 100 attack helicopters. Not to mention that there is an equally advanced infantry division behind it, attacking 60,000 people, such a powerful force to attack such a small port as Cam Ranh Bay, of course, it is as simple as pushing it to a wall.

The Chinese army is only 20 minutes away from the base, and it seems that it is better to take a helicopter to Saigon first, and now staying in this command room is waiting for death!

"With a tugboat belt! Let all the tugboats in the port go to the Minsk aircraft carrier as a power and tow the aircraft carrier out of the port, as long as it reaches the sea, the Chinese army will have no reason to attack us! After a long silence, Zaikov finally came to his senses and immediately gave an order.

"Time is too tight for us to remove all the warships!" A staff officer stepped forward and reminded.

Zaikov closed his eyes in pain, gritted his teeth and said: "First make sure that all the main cruisers leave the port, and the rest will be blown up!" Can't let the Chinese get our warships! ”

Zaikov was too careless, he didn't expect the air force to be so unbearable, and then the base was unprepared to take the initiative to attack the Chinese army, causing them to retreat too late now.

The most painful thing as a naval officer is to self-destruct warships, which is no different from asking for their lives, when Zaikov's order is conveyed to the ships, the port is even more chaotic, everyone is huddled together and wants to leave the port as quickly as possible, in order to maintain the safety of the port, the Soviets laid mines on the route out of the port, which is used to prevent US submarines from sneaking in to reconnoiter intelligence.

Therefore, there is only a narrow waterway out of the port, and it is still winding, and you must go at a low speed and slow down to get out.

This mine usually protects the base, but at this critical moment it really kills the Soviet Navy.
