Chapter 012: Battle at Sea (Part II)
"Heck...... Coaxing ......" the cruiser Dingyuan fired the first shot at the Soviet motor-torpedo boats, and then the destroyers followed suit.
The soldiers on the ship were busy, carrying ammunition, shooting, and loading......
Despite this, some motor-torpedo boats approached the fleet, and at this time the rapid-fire guns on the warships came into play, and they fired a burst of fire at the Soviet motor-torpedo boats.
And fighters and helicopters and submarines will not be able to help in this situation, they have to block the Soviet torpedo boats behind to prevent them from rushing up and the situation is out of control,
In addition, they don't come up because if they get into the range of artillery, they are very willing to be injured by their own naval guns, although helicopters and carrier-based aircraft are powerful, but if they are really hit by naval guns, it will definitely be a plane destruction.
The Soviet torpedo boats finally approached, and many of them were about to launch and get tired, but they were still hit by naval guns and were blown to pieces in an instant.
However, there were too many torpedo boats in the Soviet Union, and although most of the ones close to the fleet were killed, some of them still entered the launch range.
The two Soviet torpedo boats began to load their torpedoes into the launch tubes while they were still running, and they ran for their lives again and again aimed at the Chinese naval warship.
"Launch." With the captain's order, a sailor pressed the launch button, and the torpedo dragged a long tail wave towards the Chinese fleet quickly.
At the time of two or three hundred meters, it was discovered by the soldiers of the Chinese Navy, and the Soviet army was completely fighting, they launched very fast, and after a while, they saw several torpedoes rushing towards the warship.
"Quick, right full rudder, right full rudder." The Chinese soldier shouted,
While turning the rudder, the ship's sailors fired at the torpedo with anti-aircraft guns and small arms, hoping to detonate him, and soon the next torpedo was exploded by a burst of bullets, followed by another.
Then there were more and more torpedoes, and some Soviet ships did not even need to aim under the blows of the Navy and the Air Force, and fired directly in the general direction, regardless of whether they were accurate or not.
The Chinese torpedo boats and minelayers were frantically rushing to the front line, they used warships to block the back of the big warships, and the minelayers also arranged some torpedoes on the water to block the Soviet torpedo boats, and their anti-aircraft machine guns frantically strafed the torpedo boats and the torpedoes fired.
As the more and more fish of the torpedo boats rushed by, the cannons on the cruisers and destroyers finally opened fire, although most of them could not hit the small motorized torpedo boats, but the dense artillery fire effectively slowed down the speed of the Soviet torpedo boats, and the trajectory of some torpedoes was also changed by the huge waves of shell explosions.
Seeing that the Soviet torpedo boats were slowed down, and there were no torpedoes to attack the fleet for the time being, Chen Shaokuan's heart relaxed a little, but he was not careless, a large number of Soviet submarines were still around.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, bombers and some fighters were still bombing the large Soviet warships, at which time one of the two Soviet cruisers was sunk, and the other was abandoned and sunk by the Soviet army.
Only two of the 9 destroyers remained, but the Chinese naval aviation also lost more than 20 fighters, of which the bombers were lost.
At this time, more than a dozen carrier-based aircraft once again attacked the two remaining Soviet destroyers, and in between, four dive bombers formed a formation and dived down towards a destroyer, which had already been bombed before, and its firepower was obviously much weaker.
The sound of the huge bomb pierc......ing the air was so harsh, the officers and men of the Soviet Navy were already afraid of this sound, and the Chinese air force was afraid of death.
"Coax......ing" a bomb to fall accurately on the destroyer, the huge explosion caused the surrounding Soviet naval officers and soldiers to be directly shocked to death, the destroyer was hit by four planes after three bombs, then hit by two torpedoes, and finally sank to the bottom,
The other destroyer was no better, and soon followed in the footsteps, and the torpedo boats and minesweepers that were guarding after were unilaterally slaughtered,
Korostyakov in Petropavrolosk received a report from the Pacific Fleet, and his mood was very solemn, the large surface ships were lost, the air force was killed without being able to get close to the Chinese aircraft carrier fleet, the small ships were also suffering heavy losses, and the submarines could not get close to the Chinese fleet, they were sunk by that mysterious flying machine, this thing is really powerful, not only can it deal with submarines, but also torpedo boats, and it is a dozen and one accurate,
Vice Admiral Korostyakov seemed to understand that his more than 20 submarines that had lost contact with each other might have been done with this weapon, otherwise how could they not even have time to send a telegram,
Korostyakov already had no hope for the Pacific Fleet, they could not complete the task of destroying the Chinese naval fleet,
Looking at the land, the Chinese Army has already attacked Karaga, and the Soviet Air Force has no aircraft that can fight, and now it is purely in the position of being bombed, if it were not for the familiarity of the terrain, it is estimated that it would have collapsed long ago.
Korostyakov reported the situation on this side of the Pacific to Stalin and asked for instructions,
At this time, Stalin was holding a telegram from the Pacific Fleet, and his heart was equally solemn, after the loss of Kamchatka, the squadron would be able to focus on the war in Central Asia and Western Siberia,
"Could it be the death of the Soviet Union?" Stalin couldn't help but sigh in his heart,
The Americans, the British, and the French are all unreliable, China has hit Siberia, and it is about to destroy the Soviet Union with the Germans, and these guys have not yet declared war on China to contain China, at least Britain and the United States can threaten China from the direction of the Bering Strait,
Stalin called Beria, the head of the KGB, after the Great Purge, Stalin's most trusted was Beria, and now the Soviet Union is in turmoil, the wind is crying, the allies are all treacherous, saying that they will fight against fascism together and will not give up any side, but China is obviously attacking the Soviet Union, one by one with his eyes open and invisible, Stalin feels betrayed,
At this time, Stalin was more vigilant about the people around him, he was worried that his subordinates would betray themselves at any time and take their heads to Germany or the Chinese to ask for credit, so he became no longer trusting his subordinates, and now he handed over more things to the KGB, an intelligence organization.
"Comrade General Secretary." Beria saluted, showing very humility and respect, without the slightest sense of disobedience on his face, Beria has followed Stalin for decades, he knows very well that although Stalin did not claim the title of emperor, he is even more difficult to serve than the tsar, and he kills at every turn, and the tsars of all generations have not killed hundreds of thousands of people at every turn like Stalin.
Of course, Beria is so respectful, in addition to the fact that he can't resist Stalin, there is also that she also has her own little ninety-nine, he later worked hard to cater to Stalin, let that Stalin trust himself, give himself a higher position of power, and finally achieved today's position, now he has a large number of official ulterior secrets in his hands, he expects that he can become the supreme leader of the Soviet Union as soon as Stalin dies, he is particularly envious of Stalin, who controls the life and death of others, turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands for rain, It's not very clear how wonderful it always feels Beria, but since he became the top leader of the KGB, he can already feel it.
When Stalin saw that Beria, a comrade and comrade-in-arms, was coming, his heart was slightly better, "Comrade Beria, you immediately send a telegram to the British and American allies, tell them about our predicament, and if they don't take action to contain China, then we will surrender." ”
"Ahh Although Beria knew that Stalin was angry, he still had to act very surprised to prove his allegiance to Stalin and the Soviet Union.
"Comrade General Secretary, we are not really going to surrender."
Stalin said: "Of course not, others can, but if we surrender, no matter which country falls into the hands of China and Germany, they will inevitably humiliate us in every way, I just want to scare Britain and the United States, if they don't make a move, we really can't hold on for long, most of Siberia's resources are occupied by China, and the industrial bases of Western Siberia and Central Asia have been bombed, and the mineral resource bases have also been bombed, and at present our production has been greatly affected, many factories have either been blown up or have no raw materials to produce, This war cannot be fought without resources. ”
Beria nodded, he also understood that Siberia has always been the last bottom line in the hearts of the Soviets, no matter how fierce the fighting in Europe was, as long as the Soviets think of the huge, vast and resource-rich regions of Central Asia and Siberia, they feel much more solid in their hearts.
The abundant resources of Siberia provided countless food, weapons and ammunition for the war of the Soviet Union, and all kinds of materials were used to continue the war of the Soviet Union.
Now that Siberia is gone, how can the Soviets not despair, this sentiment permeates everywhere from the people to the government to the army, Germany is still so strong, they can't see the possibility of defeating in a short time,
Although China has always given them a very weak feeling, this time it is like a tiger coming down the mountain, whether it is a lion or a big grizzly bear to pounce and eat it one by one, it is too fierce.
Previously, Stalin also took a blockade of news after the loss of Irkutsk, but now most of Siberia is occupied by the squadron, and a large number of refugees in Western Siberia and Central Asia cause the people's hearts to waver, and the news cannot be blocked at all, but they cannot all be killed, and many of these people's families are serving in the army, if they are killed, I am afraid that the army will riot directly,
Both the military and the government's top brass are quite helpless about this, they really can't do anything about it, and now the huge number of refugees will not only spread negative effects, but more practically, they need a lot of food,
Some military officers and government officials began to emigrate, and although it was known that they would die ugly, they no longer had much confidence in the Soviet Union, and if they did not leave, they would probably not be able to leave.
