Chapter 139: The Way of Leadership
Ye Chuchu smiled happily, gently hugged Sun Hui's waist, and pressed his face against his chest.
"Brother Sun and Sister Chu Chu are so happy." In the distance, on the other side of the battleship deck, Wang Linlin looked at the figures of Sun Hui and Ye Chuchu hugging each other, her eyes full of stars.
"Linlin, you can too." Xiao Tiantian smiled sweetly, also looking in the same direction, "I think there are a lot of handsome guys on this warship, enough for you to choose." ”
"That's it." Du Lili also smiled, and her eyes looking at Sun Hui and Ye Chuchu were also full of envy.
Just now, the three of them had been manipulating an anti-aircraft machine gun with all the dead shooters to shoot at enemy planes, and they had also witnessed the scene of Sun Hui pushing a bomb into the sea and splitting the "Stuka" with an axe......
In the evening of the same day, a warm celebration party was held in the officers' canteen of the "October Revolution," and the officer group of the "October Revolution" headed by Captain Colonel Andlopov welcomed all the members of the "521" crew with a sumptuous reception and presented Sun Hui and Ye Chuchu with engraved silver cups as gifts to express their gratitude for their "special contributions" in the battle.
Four days later, after a strenuous voyage, the "October Revolution" reached the intended shore.
These four days were an unforgettable experience for Sun Hui, who had never been out to sea.
It's April, the ice and snow season is still not over, and large thin sheets of ice can still be seen on the coast. The cold of the early morning turns the water into hard, thin needles that are painful to pierce the skin in the air. Every morning, the people on board could see the sight of a white layer of shiny ice armor covering the ship's sides, decks, and deck holds. Some of the small guns and machine guns have grown fat and become like imposing turrets. The radio antenna looks like a corolla of large and small Xiaoice columns. The forward lookouts, wrapped in cork wood and fur coats, were covered in rattling ice armor and were often frozen to the ropes of the deck and railings, unable to turn freely. A battleship with such a crew on board is like a huge moving iceberg.
Twenty minutes after the sailors took over their shifts, not a single thread was dry. After work, everyone has to walk the same way, that is, to go to the "life service department", that is, to go to the engine room; There, the soaked, shivering, and tired people can take a break by the hot motor that is running.
Since the heating cannot be kept in the lower cabin, the conditions in the bilge are such that a large amount of water vapor is condensed. All the clothes and bedding that had been kept in the bilge were soaked with moisture. At such times, equipment and weapons require extra attention and careful care. However, all the staff still did not complain about the hard work and the inconvenience of life.
On this day, all the people gathered to listen to Stalin's speech. Moscow relayed a recording of the leader's report at the celebration of the Moscow Soviet. German and Finnish radio stations carried out powerful jamming in an attempt to disturb the quiet and calm voice of the "Great Leader". In this way, people have to use logic to fill in the words that are not inaudible in the uncanny screams.
Stalin's thoughts are clear and clear, the language is unambiguous:
“…… Hitler's army of bandits brutally slaughtered and ravaged the peaceful inhabitants of our country, sparing even women, children and the elderly. ……”
“…… Our army and navy fighters have defended the honor and freedom of the motherland, bravely repelled the attacks of the beastly enemy, and set an example of valor and fearlessness, thus shedding rivers of blood on the enemy. ……”
"Speaking of us," said a young signalman, cheerfully, "speaking of the Navy......
"Don't be silent!" A political officer interrupted him, "Speaking of the Navy, that means he believes in us...... He knew that the Soviet Navy would not lie. ”
"Then it should be confirmed," said the sailors. "Our responsibility is very great!"
Then I heard the leader's voice again.
“…… But the enemy did not rest on his laurels, and he did not cherish the blood of his own soldiers, but sent in place of the defeated troops in batches, and tried with all his might to take Leningrad and Moscow before the next winter, for he knew that winter would not do him any good. ……”
"The enemy will never be able to see Moscow and Leningrad, just as he cannot see his own ears."
"That's not bad at all!"
"Look, we're going to send more troops to Leningrad soon, and at that time, the fascist bandits will have no choice but to die!"
“…… The German aggressors wanted to wage a war of annihilation against the peoples of the Soviet Union. Well, since the Germans wanted to come and fight a war of annihilation, they would have suffered such a war of annihilation. Our task in the future, the task of the peoples of the Soviet Union, the task of the soldiers, commanders and political functionaries of our army and our fleet, is to annihilate all the Germans who have invaded the territory of our Motherland as aggressors. No mercy to the German invaders! ”
"That's right!" Many people shouted in unison.
The applause and cheers in the deck cabin mingled with the applause and cheers in the conference room.
The end of the report makes the faces of the excited red, the eyes of the people, and the hearts of the people beating faster.
“…… Fight to completely crush the Dekor! …… Our cause is just, and victory must belong to us! ”
After listening to the leader's report, people shook hands and hugged each other. It seems that everything that once existed in people's minds, sometimes not fully understood and not completely certain, is now completely clear. Sun Hui witnessed all this and had to admit that, as a leader, Stalin did a good job of stirring people's hearts.
The battle was about to begin, and his report just now was indeed a shot in the arm for the tired Soviet Navy officers and men. The sailors were aware of their responsibility and insisted on standing in the midst of the splashes of icy water, gazing at the gray coastline. Everyone knows that if there is one enemy artillery position that is not destroyed, it is the reduction of hundreds of experienced, trained fighters on the Leningrad front.
Sun Hui and the girls returned to the bridge, and at this time the "October Revolution" had already entered the attack position, and the four triple 305 mm main gun turrets slowly turned and raised their huge gun barrels.
