Central Kotlin Island, Base Command.

Although the main forces of the Baltic fleet were transferred to Tallinn, Kronstadt was still one of the most important communication arteries of the Soviet Union and an important base of the navy.

Inside the base now was Rear Admiral Panteleev, who heard the rumble on the beach outside, and at this time, his face was quite ugly.

"What about our fighters? Take off our fighter now! Panteleyev said: "The navy of the Germans actually dared to hit our doorstep." ”

There is no such bullying, and the other party's bomber actually came to his own doorstep, which is simply a shame.

As the Red Banner Baltic Fleet, the largest fleet in the Soviet Union, in addition to various ships, it has a powerful naval aviation with more than three hundred fighters and almost two hundred bombers.

Now the German air force was raging, bombing their fleets, and at such times needed their fighters to take off and go to expel them.

Major General Panteleyev took office only two days ago, and he only had literal data, and now, hearing his words, Colonel Petrov on the side was quite helpless.

"We can't move a single plane right now."

"Why?"

"To defend Petersburg, Marshal Voroshinov transferred all our aviation." Colonel Petrov said.

When the Germans launched this war, they wiped out the air force in the western part of the Soviet Union to the airfield almost instantly, and after that, almost the entire battlefield was occupied by the Luftwaffe.

The Soviets were catching up, they woke up from the haste to meet the battle, and the huge state apparatus immediately set into action and mobilized weapons everywhere.

The Northern Military District of the Soviets, Marshal Voroshinov himself came, and Stalin gave him the task of protecting Petersburg, a sacred city, from being damaged by the Germans.

As a result, Voroshinov also took the initiative and transferred weapons and equipment from everywhere, and the naval aviation in the Baltic Sea seemed to be empty for the time being, so he simply transferred the naval aviation back to protect Petersburg.

The ostensible reason was that the bases of the naval aviation were also bombed, and the new field base was repaired in Petersburg, and the air force was transferred first.

As a result, under the German air raids after the start of the war, the Baltic naval aviation, which had less than a hundred fighters left, was transferred to St. Petersburg.

In terms of distance, it is actually not far, the base here is only a few tens of kilometers from St. Petersburg, but this already involves inter-service transfers. One by one, the Germans ran away.

Now it is definitely too late to mobilize aviation.

"Commander, it's not good, our battleship Marat was sunk by the Germans!" At this moment, shocking news reached the headquarters.

"Our battleship the October Revolution, is sinking."

"Our No. 3 shore defense gun, destroyed."

One by one, the intelligence was constantly reported, and Panteleev covered his head in pain, watching the Baltic Fleet annihilated, but they could only watch, unable to carry out any counterattack!

For the Soviet Baltic Fleet, this day was one they will never forget.

Stuka bombers were raging, and there were not many of them, and if the Baltic Fleet sent even five fighters, they could be expelled.

However, they did not, and their fleet, just like that, was ravaged by the Stuka bombers, and their shore artillery positions, too, were bombed by the Germans.

One after another, the anti-aircraft guns fired fiercely into the sky, as if to release the resentment in their hearts, but it was useless, the German bombers, it seemed, hidden, and when their artillery fire stopped, the Stuka bombers suddenly came out of nowhere and swooped down towards the shore artillery positions.

On the sea, the rest of the warships are in a state of six gods and no masters.

The Baltic Sea is huge, numerically speaking, it has 2 battleships, 2 cruisers, 21 destroyers, 7 frigates, etc., and now it is the main force of almost the entire fleet.

The two battleships, already under attack on the fairway, blocked the fairway so that other warships outside could not pass through.

What's even worse is that the commander of the fleet was on the Marat, and since the Marat was sunk so quickly that until now they did not know whether the commander of the fleet was alive or dead.

Without a command, they were almost in a mess.

Originally following the Marat was the cruiser Kirov, the newest cruiser to enter service in 38 years, and this cruiser, along with the 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 type of warship built by the Soviet Navy shipyard itself, and the Soviet Union originally had no such experience, but fortunately, the relationship between Germany and the Soviet Union was close, so this warship was almost designed by German engineers.

The other Dezezinsky-class frigates and Tashkent-class destroyers in the fleet were built directly by the Germans, and the Soviet Union only needed to use mineral resources to barter, and this cruiser was built by the Soviets themselves with the help of Germany.

A few years ago, the relations between the Soviet Navy and the German Navy were still very good, and the two sides even held joint exercises in the North Sea.

On the bridge, the captain of the ship, Aleksandrov, did not know what it was like, just after the destruction of two battleships, those dive bombers almost came towards him.

This battleship was originally designed with the help of the Germans, and the Germans are well aware of the weakness of air defense, and if the other side dives down, their own side will not be spared at all, who would have thought that they would actually turn around and hit shore artillery, and why is this?

"Alert, discover the German fleet!" At this moment, the lookout post on the mast suddenly shouted loudly, and a fleet of Germans appeared on the sea in the distance!

Aleksandrov turned his head, looked into the distance with his binoculars, and immediately opened his mouth wide, the barrel was high, but it was a 380-mm naval gun! In an instant, he recognized the other party's model.

"Quick, get closer to our shore, hurry!" At this time, he already knew why the other party wanted to attack their shore artillery, but now, they had almost no choice but to use the protection of the shore artillery.
