Chapter 297: Trouble with the Fleet

"Ku Qi ~ Ku Qi ~" In the sound of the train all the way, a bearded man on this train leaned back on a chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, and next to this man was a middle-aged man with two mustaches.

Inside and outside this carriage, there are more than ten fierce-eyed men wearing the military uniforms of the Northeast Army, vigilantly watching the movements around them! Especially if there's anything unusual outside the window.

After a long time, I saw the man who closed his eyes and opened his eyes suddenly! The carriage seemed to light up a few points at once under his gaze, and then the man stood up and twisted his body! The straight sound of the joints of the whole body "Ka ~ Ka ~ Ka ~"!

The men standing in the carriage looked at the man with a slightly reverent gaze, but the man twisted his majestic body as if he didn't realize it, and then asked in a deep voice: "How far is it to Harbin?!" ”

Hearing the man's question, the middle-aged man standing behind the man didn't dare to slack off and said in a deep voice to the man: "Commander, there are still about two hours to arrive." Just now, two brothers on the road were a little uncomfortable, so they stopped and took them to the hospital, so they were delayed......"

Seeing this, the man nodded when he heard this, and then turned to the middle-aged man behind him and said in a deep voice, "Are our brothers ready?"

These three battleships are not simple either! This ship has a total length of 54.5 meters, a width of 8.2 meters, a draft of 1.1 meters, a displacement of 244 tons, a horsepower of 250-270 horsepower, a maximum speed of 10 knots, and a cruising range of 1700 nautical miles/8 knots. It is armed with two 120 mm guns of 45 x caliber, one 122 mm army howitzer, four 7.62 mm machine guns, 12.7 mm of shipside armor and 9.5 mm of deck armor, and a crew of 63 people. Templar.

It's not that Ozolin doesn't want to carry his own stronger gunboats, but that some of the waterways that divert from the Heilongjiang River to the Songhua River simply can't be navigated by large ships. Therefore, in order to allow his fleet to rush to the battlefield more quickly, the commander of the Harbin Amur River District Fleet Ozolin had to take out these faster ships under his command as support.

However, in Ozolin's opinion, these ships are enough, because the navy in the northeast has already been annihilated by them! Harbin has never had a river artillery, and with its own fleet, it can rampage in the Songhua River, and there will be no opponents!

Under these seven battleships, there are also "labor", "Karl. Marx", "Mark. Varyangin", "Pavel. Zhuravlev's four armed steamers, carrying a reinforced battalion of marines directly under the Amur flotilla with 1,200 people on board, are ready to log in at any time!

Therefore, Ozolin was confident that he would be able to achieve a greater victory in the Battle of Harbin! Push your prestige to the highest peak! And force that stupid young marshal to hurry up and sign the matter of the Middle East Road!

But all this changed because of what started tonight, the fleet's propellers wrapped around large nets! Forced to stop, and even a few battleships almost collided together!

The commander of the fleet, Ozorin, who was forced to stop, naturally almost ordered the fleet to shell the riverbank! But he knew that this would not help, so he had to order the fleet to drag the trapped warship to the shallow shore to clear the fishing nets above.

"Comrade Ozolin, there is no way to do this. After all, it is a normal occurrence to encounter fishing nets on the river, and many fishermen will throw away some discarded fishing nets on the river......"

The commander of the 2nd Infantry Division of the Far Eastern Army, N. Onufriyev, who came with the fleet, smiled at Ozorin and said: "As the commander of the fleet, perhaps you know these things better than me. The army lost 17 officers and 350 soldiers under the battalion commander Meng Zhaolin.

In the ensuing Battle of Fujin, nearly 300 Zhong** people were killed and thousands were captured, while the Soviet army only killed 3 people and wounded 11 people. This kind of battle can't help but make these two Soviet generals smile in their hearts, it's really not worth it!

Just as the two Soviet generals gradually relaxed, the battleship dragged to the shallow water on the shore suddenly exploded! I heard "boom!! "There was an earth-shattering bang! The battleship was blown apart, and a huge hole was cracked!

In the darkness of the night, I could see the constant wailing of the battleship! The front end of the entire battleship cracked as if it had been chiseled open with a huge axe!

The river water poured into the battleship in an instant, and it was visible to the naked eye that the battleship quickly began to sink! Fortunately, it was a shallow area, so there were hardly many casualties except for some soldiers who were injured and fell into the water.

"Boom !!" But then, the battleship exploded! Most of the soldiers who were wailing directly lost their voices, and the warship responsible for pushing and dragging the battleship was also affected by the explosion! The soldiers on the battleship screamed and were swept off the ship by a huge shockwave!

And the flying iron nails and iron willows of the exploding warship...... And so on and injured a lot of soldiers who were close to the battleship! The entire Songhua River was covered with blood mist, and countless Soviet soldiers fell into the river! Blood stained the river!

Onufriev and Ozolin were stunned by this scene! Immediately, it was Onufriev who came to his senses first, and saw the commander of the 2nd Infantry Division of the Soviet Far East Special Army roaring angrily: "All the infantry got off the ship and searched!" All suspicious people must be arrested! Encounter resistance and annihilate directly! ”

One of the adjutant who was standing next to Onufriev heard the words and replied loudly: "Yes!!" "Then go down and let the herald give the order to the armed merchant ships with their lights!

The armed merchant ship that had received the order roared towards the shore, and the more than 1,200 marines disembarked with a bang! A search of the area began.
