Skoropatsky couldn't figure out what was going on, and things had been wrong since his last meeting with Nikolai. Especially after the three batteries opened fire resolutely, the situation in the harbor was completely out of their plans.

Although the sailors are angry and angry, it does not mean that they are stupid. Compared with the fixed batteries erected in the permanent fortifications on land, they were fixed targets when they were blocked in the harbor and could not set sail. As long as the fort is willing, it can blow them up one by one.

In such an extremely bad situation, even the most angry people had to think more about their own lives, and the orders handed down from the batteries were very simple: in order to prevent the counter-revolutionaries from fishing in troubled waters, it was okay to ask the fleet committee for an explanation, but not to move warships.

Although this order is a little unreasonable and a little overbearing, the sailors can still understand, at least the battery did not let them stay calm and restrained or anything, if the other party said so, then at the risk of being sunk, they also have to fight with the other party!

Of course, it doesn't mean that all sailors can accept it and stay calm, and there are also those who are angry and go out of their way, isn't it just artillery? You can beat me, and I can beat you!

For example, the old Twelve Apostles, which was used as a fixed battery in the harbor, the sailors, under the leadership of the gun commander, began to shoot at the Nikolaev battery, and the momentum was unrelenting!

However, the Twelve Apostles soon paid a heavy price, and under the concentrated fire of the two major batteries, the front main gun turret was pierced from the front by an armor-piercing projectile, after the projectile penetrated several layers of fire doors. Exploded in the ammunition depot.

The explosion lit up the whole of Sevastopol. The bright fireball in the night sky could be seen from several kilometers away. The violent explosion directly blew away the front main gun turret of the Twelve Apostles. The splicing of steel plates, which weighed several hundred tons, flew nearly 200 meters high and then smashed the beach on the shore.

This was just the beginning, as the blast of the ammunition depot exploded through the old hull, and the bow of the Twelve Apostles was directly broken. The watertight compartment that was too late to close and was destroyed caused the sea to rush in. A few minutes later, the old ship capsized and sank in the port of Sevastopol.

When the Twelve Apostles exploded, Skoropatsky was heading for the Nikolaev battery, where he and Nikolai were to meet, according to the agreement. Then together they will take this vital fort.

So Skoropatsky witnessed the destruction of the Twelve Apostles in its entirety, and the deafening explosion stunned him, and the ashes that fell from the sky fell on his head and shoulders like a light rain.

Looking at the direction of the sinking of the Twelve Apostles, Skoropatsky shivered, he seemed to feel that the road ahead was full of dangers, and if he was not careful, he would end up with the Twelve.

"Your Excellency, shall we move on?"

The sound made Skoropatsky shudder, and quickly forgot about the bad feeling just now. For him. There is no possibility of stopping this big gamble, and it has come to an end. You can only move forward, not backward.

Skoropatsky froze and asked, "What about Nikolai?" Haven't arrived yet? ”

The man who reminded him just now hurriedly said: "Mr. Nikolai just sent someone to inform us that we have not found out Boris's movements, and he is not at ease, so he has already gone to check ......."

"Bastard!" Skoropatsky burst into foul language and scolded: "At this time, what do you care about a bad old man." As long as the batteries are captured, Sevastopol will be ours! ”

After scolding, Skoropatsky was still angry, stomped his feet and continued to scold: "Without his cooperation, how can I seize the fort, this idiot is always indiscriminate......"

Skoropatsky did not finish scolding, because his men weakly said: "Mr. Nikolai has sent his men who will assist us in taking ......"

In Skoropatsky's almost cannibalistic eyes, the poor subordinate swallowed back the unfinished words, and he was suspicious that if he continued, he would be greeted by a deadly bullet.

"So what are you waiting for!" For the first time, Skoropatsky did not continue to investigate, and pointed in the direction of the top of the mountain: "Start acting immediately!" ”

However, Skoropatsky's wish was once again frustrated, and before they could approach the battery, they were stopped by the defenders of the battery: "Military stronghold, people stop!" ”

Skoropatsky looked at the reinforced concrete bunker and could vaguely see the muzzle of the black hole in the perforation, and he knew that such a fortress attack was tantamount to death. Fortunately, they never intended to seize the fort by force, it would be self-inflicted, and Nikolai prepared more ingenious means.

"We are the people of the Fleet Council and the Cheka!" Skoropatsky's men shouted in the direction of the bunker, "We have come to deliver the latest orders of the Fleet Council!" ”

After shouting this, Skoropatsky and his men nervously observed the movement of the bunker, for fear that in the next second, a tongue of fire would erupt from the muzzle of the black hole.

Fortunately, this terrible scene did not appear, and they were greeted by the shouts of the bunker sentry: "Lay down your arms and send a representative!" ”

Skoropatsky really didn't want to do this job, no one knew what the attitude of the sentry on the other side of the bunker was, if this was a trap, then the person as a representative would definitely be a meat bun and a dog.

However, Skoropatsky really couldn't blame his subordinates for this unfortunate errand, and he was the only one who really knew the whole plan, and he was the only one who had fake documents. Now that Nikolai is gone, he must go, otherwise it is difficult to say whether he will be able to leave the Nikolaev battery alive.

Skoropatsky pretended to be calm and raised his hands and walked in the direction of the bunker, and when he approached the bunker, two soldiers with loaded guns escorted him into the bunker.

"Cheka? Sent by the Fleet Council? ”

Skoropatsky nodded without hesitation, "You can look at my papers." Comrades, please let me go to your commander at once, I have important orders to convey to him! ”

When he said this, Skoropatsky was still very engaged in "acting". It gives a sense of tension and urgency. It is easy for people who do not know what is going on to be deceived by him. At least at the time Skoropatsky thought he was playing well. Enough to qualify for the little golden man.

However, the reaction at the scene made him a little strange, and several sentries were not impressed by his acting skills, but showed strange expressions. Although Skoropatsky didn't know what he meant by this expression, there was no doubt that there must be something wrong.

At that time, he wanted to ask, but before he could speak, the leader of the sentries smiled and said, "You want to see our commander." OK. We'll take you! ”

This sentence made Skoropatsky a lot easier, but immediately the words under the head of the soldier made his heart hang again: "Seryosha, you take a comrade with you to lead this Cheka comrade to Comrade Konstantin." ”

"Am I alone?" Skoropatsky pretended to be angry and roared, "What about those comrades who came with me? ”

The head of the soldier laughed: "Cold salad!" Please understand that this is an extraordinary time and we have to be very careful not to be exploited by the counter-revolutionaries! ”

This explanation was very painful for Skoropatsky, although it was cool to take the Nikolaev battery single-handedly, and it could be a good gimmick for him to write his memoirs in the future. But he always feels dangerous, and it is always good to have a few more of his own people around him. At least give him a little peace of mind.

However, his request was categorically rejected by the head of the soldier, and even threatened him. If Skoropatsky's subordinates were not honest, they would immediately open fire. In desperation, Skoropatsky could only agree, but he decided that after taking the fort, he must make this soldier look good.

The two sentries slowly ascended to the headquarters of the battery, one after the other, and he carefully surveyed the all-reinforced concrete and half-buried building, wondering how to take command of the battery later.

"Comrade Konstantin, this Cheka comrade asks to see you. He said that there are the latest instructions of the Fleet Committee to convey to you! After saying this, the leading sentry saluted and then retreated, completely exposing Skoropatsky behind him.

Skoropatsky took a deep breath, determined to make a preemptive victory and overwhelm the other in momentum. I saw him take a sharp step forward and roar indignantly: "You are the commander? ”

Konstantin was indeed a little "panicked" as Skoropatsky had expected, and he looked very weak-hearted. Skoropatsky said to himself: "There is a play! Immediately, he raised his voice again and roared, "Who told you to shoot!" Do you know what a bad impact your actions have caused, and can you afford to take this responsibility? ”

Konstantin seemed to want to explain, but he had only said the word "I", and Skoropatsky was once again snatched up from the conversation, and the finger pointed and shouted indiscriminately: "From now on, according to the Fleet Council and the All-Russian Cheka Commissioner Andrei. By order of Comrade Petrovich, I declare your dismissal from all duties! ”

When he finished shouting these words, Skoropatsky was a little proud, he had already seen the shocked look on the other party's face, which showed that he had calmed the other party, as long as he was a little tougher, he could completely defeat the other party......

It's a pity that Skoropatsky didn't wait for Konstantin's collapse, and the somewhat shocked commander just tilted his head and asked a young man sitting on the other side: "Comrade Andrei, what's going on?" ”

With Konstantin's gaze, Skoropatsky also tilted his head slightly, and when he saw clearly the person sitting on stilts in the dark, the expression on his face was quite wonderful!

"Ann...... Andre...... Petrovich ...... Why are you here? ”

As he said this, Skoropatsky's teeth chattered, and suddenly he had the feeling that the sky was falling.

Li Xiaofeng stretched his waist and stood up with a smile: "Mr. Skoropatsky, I've been waiting for you!" What about that accomplice of yours? Didn't you come along? ”

By the time Skoropatsky's eyes darkened and he fainted to the ground, Nikolai had already rushed out of Sevastopol under the cover of several of his subordinates and fled in the direction of Simferopol. His destination was the British Consulate General in Simferopol, and with the defeat of Sevistopol, there was bound to be an upsurge of liquidation of counter-revolutionaries and foreign spies throughout Crimea, and it was wishful thinking to escape from this place of right and wrong, and the only way to save his life was to flee into the consulate. Use diplomatic privileges to escape.

I have to say. This guy has a really keen sense of smell. If there is a slight mistake, he will immediately flash people, and he will abandon all his accomplices and allies to flash people, this decisiveness and decisiveness are indeed admirable. And this kind of guy who is even more cunning than a fox, if left unchecked, will sooner or later become a big trouble. However, it is a pity that a certain immortal can't take care of his side for the time being, and Sevastopol still has a lot of hands waiting for him to solve. Nikolai's life can only wait for a while.

The explosion of the Twelve Apostles greatly shocked the angry sailors, and no one dared to mess around, so they obediently returned to the cabin, covered the quilt and slept with their heads bored, and quickly dropped the stolen weapons and began to pretend to be passers-by and soy sauce parties, even the most emotional soldiers chose to only find trouble with the fleet committee, stop smashing and looting and stop the riots.

On the contrary, there were some remnants of the White Army who were unwilling to be defeated, and die-hards tried to continue to stir up the emotions of the soldiers. But with the arrival of Boris with his marines, the goods were either killed outright. Or tie your hands and get caught.

As the shouts and roars of the streets died down, as the gunfire and explosions grew farther and farther away, and the well-meaning sailors busily rescued the survivors of the Twelve Apostles, Boris arrived at the headquarters of the Fleet Council with his marines.

In the square in front of the headquarters, there was a mess, fragments of glass and wooden furniture were scattered on the ground, dozens of bloody corpses were lying on the ground, and the moans and cries for help of the wounded could be heard from time to time, and the scene was very bloody.

Boris looked at the headquarters building, where a temporary fortification had been erected at the gate, and black muzzles and human heads could be faintly seen in the windows of the building. All in all, the inside of the building is not much stronger than the outside, and it is a mess.

The arrival of Boris and his entourage made the guards of the headquarters more vigilant, in the previous hour or so, they had repelled the attack of several groups of sailors, and now this group of people is not the kind of sailors who are chaotic at first glance, they are elite troops at a glance, if this group of people launches an attack, they may not be able to stop it.

However, Boris and his men had no intention of entering, and they set up a fence in the square outside the building, keeping the indignant sailors out.

"Why are you blocking our way!"

"Don't help the abuse, we must ask for an explanation!"

"Immediately remove the Fleet Council from its duties and shoot them!"

From time to time, the sailors let out angry roars, the previous fierce battle had already killed them, and now they only wanted to rush into the fleet committee and hang the members they had elected by their own hands.

Boris behaved unusually calmly with these angry sailors, he did not try to reason with these people, it was useless, it was useless to talk about anything at this time. Instead of wasting saliva with them, it is better to control the scene with practical actions.

Any sailors who did not heed the advice and tried to continue charging at the headquarters were ruthlessly brought down, and the water cannons, tear gas, and electric batons worked very well. Of course, the main thing is that the old man's people are high. He didn't even say anything, just a stop there, and he could deter most of the sailors.

Ten minutes later, when the crowd initially regained their composure, Boris said coldly: "I have seen what happened to you tonight, and what the Fleet Committee did is undoubtedly unreasonable...... I understand your anger, but anger doesn't mean you can be unscrupulous, it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want! ”

Speaking of this, the old man paused, and then said: "Especially, you are simply bewitched by a group of people with ulterior motives, used by them, and stupidly help them achieve their evil goals...... That's the real stupidity! ”

One of the sailors had a thoughtful expression, but the other, as well as those who mixed in with the crowd with ulterior motives, would not be persuaded by Boris. In order to achieve their evil ends, the counter-revolutionaries hiding in the crowd began to shout and demagogue again.

"Don't listen to him, he's in the same league as the Fleet Council dog mongrel!"

"Kill all these bastards, only by killing them can we win justice! Come on! ”

Seeing that the scene was about to be chaotic again, I saw that the old man pulled out his gun and fired it in one go, and after two gunshots, the two people who were hiding in the crowd and took the lead in making trouble fell down on their backs, and a hole was opened in the head of the two goods, and blood and brains slowly flowed out of the hole.

Boris snorted contemptuously, "If you have something to say, say it in front of Lao Tzu, hide behind your back and fan the flames and chew your tongue, what kind of man is it!" Saying that, the old man paused, and then shouted: "Lao Tzu is standing here, if you have an opinion, tell Lao Tzu in person, whether it makes sense or not, the big guys can hear it...... And then there is the one who hides and fans the wind and ignites the ghost fire, don't blame Lao Tzu for not having long eyes! ”

There was silence in the crowd, even people with ulterior motives did not dare to show their heads casually, Boris's two shots just now were too accurate, giving them great psychological pressure, and as the old man put his words down, the soldiers seemed to be not so easy to incite.

On the Nikolaev battery in the distance, Li Xiaofeng put away his binoculars, and he was quite satisfied with Boris's performance. He had the opportunity to have a good chat with Skoropatsky.

"Mr. Skoropatsky, I won't bother to introduce myself," Li Xiaofeng said with a smile: "I know who you are, and you also know who I am...... There aren't many options left for you now, are you ready to cooperate obediently? Or are you going to suffer a little? (To be continued......)

PS: Thank you to the comrades who rewarded the magic value, and thank you to Comrade hzwangdd, Comrade Dark Shadow Wind and Comrade Kill Potato in seconds!
