For the Soviets, the transport of supplies was mainly by rail, but Tiksi did not have a railway, so to speak, mainly to provide a temporary stop for ships on the Arctic route.

Although the Soviets had a vast land, it was still the European part that was really inhabited, and most of the Far East was simply unsuitable for human habitation.

Therefore, the transportation of materials in the Sokolovka base seems to be a difficult problem, for example, aviation fuel.

The Soviets were not short of oil, but when the oil base was bombed, it became extremely difficult to obtain fuel. Fuel for ordinary fighters is not enough, and even alcohol is used instead, and as for bombers, the fuel needed is often tens of tons.

Now, a single flight of a B-29 bomber requires more than a dozen tons of fuel, and the entire flight regiment now has twenty bombers, which requires two or three hundred tons of fuel, and if it flies five times a month, it will cost at least a thousand tons of fuel!

Even if they are strategic bomber forces, I am afraid that they will have to worry about fuel at this time.

Standing next to the small town of Sokolovka, looking at the sea in the distance, the cold sea breeze blowing on his face like a knife, Lieber's eyes were still full of sorrow.

"What's wrong? Not confident? At this moment, the head of the regiment, Waslselziego, came over and asked him.

No one likes to be stationed in this desolate place, there are no bustling cities around, there are no enthusiastic Russian girls, and there are only big aunts in the nearby villages, which makes it difficult to get used to.

But more than that, it's a kind of worry, and this worry hangs over everyone.

The areas of concern vary, and the big ones are, will the Soviets be able to hold out to the end? The little one said, what about the fuel?

"Yes, every time we fly, the fuel consumption is huge." "Can we stay here for a long time?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw something strange on the surface of the sea in the distance, and the sea water was rippling, spreading from the middle to both sides.

A black thing, which seemed to be emerging from beneath the water, could it be a whale?

When the big guy floated up slowly, finally, Brother Li saw clearly, this is a submarine!

"Look, our fuel has arrived." Waslsyego smiled and said, "Let's go, let's see." ”

This is a C-class submarine. The main submarine of the Soviet Navy.

This is a diesel-electric submarine with a full load displacement of more than 1,000 tons, which was technically designed in March 1934 by the cooperation of the Soviet Union and a Dutch company. As the mother type was Germany's 1 batch of A-type submarines, and from the completion of the design to the beginning of the war, a total of 27 were built in the Soviet Union.

Throughout World War II, the Soviet Navy did not play much of a role, and now, the Northern Fleet of the USSR is blocked at home and cannot get out, while the Baltic Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet have been destroyed, leaving only the Pacific Fleet in the Far East, which is still almost unscathed, that is, some losses in the escort.

The Pacific Fleet in the Far East has 91 submarines of various types, and there are seven C-class submarines, and now, these submarines are all used for one thing.

Transport.

The use of submarines for transportation is not an accident, the Soviet Union withdrew the female sniper Lyudmila with submarines, and Germany intercepted Spain's gold, which was also transported by submarines.

German submarines have a large displacement and can transport more, but the Soviet Union is different, this kind of 1,000-ton submarine has already modified the torpedo compartment in front, and can only transport 300 tons of aviation fuel at a time.

The Germans used submarines to engage in ambushes, which caused heavy losses to the Soviet Union, and almost all surface transportation was interrupted.

The Pacific Fleet's seven C-class submarines are all used to transport fuel from Alaska to Tiksi, and if they are transported twice a month, they can transport 4,000 tons of aviation fuel, so fuel is no longer a problem for the Sokolovka base!

At this time, the submarine has surfaced, this is an absolutely safe area, the German submarine, it is impossible to operate near the port, at the same time, even if the Germans find that they use submarines to transport, then they have no way, in this era, submarines can only be used against surface ships, and submarine confrontation cannot be carried out underwater at all.

Throughout World War II, the results of the submarine sinking the submarine were all in the floating state, when there was no snorkel, the submarine was floating most of the time, and would only dive when attacking.

At this time, the submarine finally arrived at the base after a long underwater voyage, and just after surfaced, the hatch was opened, and a submariner breathed the air outside, extremely intoxicated.

"I can finally float up, and it's really uncomfortable underwater." The sailor breathed greedily and at the same time sighed.

It's so uncomfortable.

The secret of the snorkel of the German submarine was not hidden for too long, and the Soviet submarines also began to use the snorkel, and during their transportation, they were almost always in a state of underwater diving.

Even if there is a snorkel, it can't stop the smell that is getting stronger and stronger.

In the past, there was only the smell of diesel fuel in the submarine, and even if it was, patience was enough, but now, they are transporting high-grade aviation gasoline, which is more volatile.

The smell in it is unbearable.

"The route ahead is normal, and we are about to reach the mooring dock." At this time, the sailor was acting as a lookout at the same time, and he shouted loudly downward, and at the same time, waved to the people on the shore.

"You're welcome." Soon, arriving at the docks, Wasltzyego shouted, "You have come too soon. ”

At this time, this base has not yet been replenished with any aviation fuel, and the arrival of this submarine will give them the capital to set off immediately.

"We want to be faster, too." At this moment, a bearded captain also came out from below: "Docked, we must come up first, breathe the air, and then smoke a cigarette." It's going to suffocate. ”

Brother Li looked at the submarine and leaned to the dock next to the base, and already had a new understanding of the location here, which can be transported by sea to bring American reinforcements, or through inland river transportation, to transport equipment from the mainland, and at the same time, there is no need to worry about being discovered by the Germans, the layout here is too ingenious.

At this time, the submariners rushed out, and the fuel pipelines at the base had not yet been laid, and several fuel tankers drove over and began to pump oil from the submarine.
