The Red Caucasus lost its power on the Black Sea, and could only float at sea, its tail belching black smoke, and until now, the sailors were still struggling to salvage it, this was their warship, and they would not let it sink into the icy waters.

And Germany, too, will not let it continue to float.

Two kilometers away, an F190 fighter jet was flying low above the water, and the pilot pressed the button after checking the launch data for the last time.

A straight-sailing torpedo, detached from the pylons in the belly of the aircraft, fell into the sea, and the propeller in the tail spun at high speed and pounced on the Red Caucasus!

"Attention, we have torpedoes on the starboard side!" The lookout was still faithfully carrying out his mission, and when he found out that the other party was throwing a torpedo, he immediately raised a loud alarm.

If the power system of the Red Caucasus was still intact, it would have been easy to dodge the direct torpedo, accelerating or decelerating, but now, everyone in the bridge looked at the splash on the sea, it was a high-speed thermodynamic torpedo, and they were helpless.

"Accelerate, accelerate!" Just to the right of the Red Caucasus, a destroyer bravely moved up, and the captain shouted loudly, as if he did not know that the engineer had already adjusted to the forward five.

The destroyer blocked the torpedo's course with its hull, and then a huge explosion was heard, and suddenly the flames burst into the sky.

In the fleet, the main battleship is protected in the center, and the outer escort battleship is to use its own body to block torpedoes at critical times, just like bodyguards have to block bullets at critical times.

The brave destroyer helped to block the torpedo, however, it could only help once.

At the same time that it was on fire, on the port side, another F190, dropped a torpedo, this torpedo was an electric torpedo, there were no bubbles churning on the water at all, and just when everyone was looking at the burning destroyer, it had already rushed to the Red Caucasus!

"Boom!"

Like the position of the dive attack, it also hit the rear of the Red Caucasus just right, this 10,000-ton battleship, when it was built, did not consider any underwater protection, and now, with the explosion of the torpedo, the back was suddenly torn apart.

The raging sea water poured in, and the hull was sinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"General, get out of here, 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!" Thiele said: "All the officers and men of our ship, together with this ship! ”

"Tiller, you have a difficult task ahead of you." Gorshkov said: "No matter how much effort you try, return to the shore, go to Moscow, and give a report to Comrade Stalin on this operation of our fleet." ”

The fleet is almost completely destroyed, so how the Black Sea Fleet was annihilated, Moscow still does not know, and now it is up to Tiller to report.

Hearing this, Tiller was dissatisfied, at this time, the hull of the ship had begun to tilt, and it was almost impossible to stand under his feet, and Tiller almost roared: "No, why should I go?" You are the commander of the fleet, and you will go if you want to go! ”

Thiele's state of mind at this time is unknown to anyone.

Wrath? Such a humiliating thing, why don't you go by yourself and let me report it?

Worry? Only then will Gorshkov be persuaded to leave?

"I'm sorry." Gorshkov actually said such words to his subordinates, and his face was helpless: "I don't have the face to go to see Comrade Stalin, I have lost the entire Black Sea Fleet, I know that this request is too much for you, but the Black Sea Fleet did not admit defeat in this situation, and has been fighting until the last moment, we must carry forward our spirit, and let the whole Soviet know that your task is difficult, forgive me, I am a coward." ”

"No!" Thiele still disagreed, he reached out to Gorshkov, but found that he couldn't pull it, and when he saw it again, Gorshkov had already tied his armed belt to the seat, at this time, he straightened his collar, with seriousness: "Now, in the name of the commander of the fleet, I order you to report this battle to Moscow, do you want to disobey the military order?" ”

Within three minutes of being torpedoed, the Red Caucasus sank.

Thiele sat on the lifeboat, watching the sea water go over the hull, over the bridge, and finally even the mast was small, and Tiller's heart was full of flavors.

It was not only the Red Caucasus that sank, but the other battleships were also in this time, bomb after bomb, torpedo by torpedo, the whole fleet was burning, 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, the huge German fleet was already visible, but unfortunately, now they did not even have the ability to fire a single cannon.

Clenching his fists, Tiller felt two tears run down his cheeks, and he was mourning the destruction of the entire fleet.

At the place 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.

The sorrow of the Black Sea Fleet was predestined long ago, and when Germany occupied the entire Mediterranean, the Black Sea Fleet became an inland sea fleet, and they were shut down and beaten dogs.

If you analyze it tactically, Germany is very wonderful, allowing the Black Sea Fleet to expose its aviation bases, attacking with carrier-based aircraft forces, and using submarines to sneak attack the main force of the Black Sea Fleet first, these tactics are enough to become classics.

However, if in essence, it is determined by the strength of the country, when the Soviets could not even build a large battleship, when the Soviets wanted to buy 406 naval guns and aircraft carriers from Germany, the end of the Soviet navy was doomed.

It is impossible to become strong by purchasing, only by one's own industrial strength can one make oneself truly strong!

And for the Black Sea Fleet, their battle is not over.

The night gradually covered the Black Sea, and after completely killing the main force of the Black Sea Fleet, Machar ordered the fleet to advance towards the Crimean Peninsula, and now it was finally the turn of his own battleships to come out and completely bombard their naval base with naval guns!

Then, it was time to go north to support Ozad and cruise the Black Sea to prevent the Soviets from continuing to support Ozad at sea.

(In the history of the Soviet Navy, Gorshkov was a great man, he presided over the Soviet Navy for decades, even in the Khrushchev era, and finally made the Soviet Navy develop into an oceanic navy, although the heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser sounds funny, but it is indeed a symbol of the strength of the Soviet Navy, and East China Zhixiong also respects this person very much, so he arranged such a heroic ending.) ）
