At the confluence of Severnaya Bay and Yuzhnaya Bay there is a prominent peninsula that overlooks the entire Sevastopol port area. On the peninsula, a permanent artillery battery was built - the Nikolaev Battery.

This Nikolaev battery can be said to be the most central location of Sevastopol, to the east, through Yuzhnaya Bay, on the coast is another Pavlov battery, these two turrets can firmly block the exit of Yuzhnaya Bay, any ship leaving the southern port area must pass through these two batteries "review". It can be said that mastering these two batteries stuck the southern port area.

And from the Nikolaev battery to the north, through the Severnaya Bay, is the northern highland battery, which was once controlled by the Germans. Famous Maxim in World War II. Gorky No. 1 Battery (i.e., No. 30 Battery) belongs to the Northern Highland Battery Group, but Gorky No. 1 Battery is located further north.

In 1918, the once-famous fort was not yet completed, and before the outbreak of the revolution, only a half-finished product was left in Tsarist Russia. Due to the sudden outbreak of World War I, the fort was stopped in 1915, and it was not until 1924 that the Soviet Union restarted work and repaired the fort.

Although in 1918 Maxim. The Gorky No. 1 battery has not yet been completed, but this does not mean that the northern highland battery is completely useless. As I said before, on April 30, 1918, the German-controlled battery was a great deal for the Black Sea Fleet.

Let's put it this way, whoever controls the Northern Highland Batteries and the Nikolaev Batteries is tantamount to firmly strangling the Black Sea Fleet, with these two batteries. You can basically control the whole of Sevastopol!

In this noisy night. When the sailors of the ships in the bay under the mountain were in a mess. While preparing to make trouble with the Cheka and the Fleet Committee, Boris was watching with concern what was happening in the military port at the position of the Nikolaev battery.

As an old navy, as a veteran of the Black Sea Fleet, he could not be happy to see that the sailors broke out again, and the fleet would once again fall into a state of chaos.

"What the hell are you doing?" The old man yelled at a yawning young man, "The situation you expected has happened. Now you should take it when you see it! ”

Li Xiaofeng completely ignored the old man's anger, stretched his waist again, looked up at the situation in the bay, smashed his mouth, and said, "The heat is not enough!" ”

Boris was crazy, since the morning, he couldn't figure out what tricks a certain immortal was doing, first inexplicably took away Ivanov and other local Cheka high-ranking people, saying that he was going to Odessa to quell the rebellion, and as a result. After sending the goods away, the guy came back in a traffic boat on the way.

Come back is come back. At least Boris thinks it's right for someone to come back, after all, Odessa is not as important as Sevastopol, and it's right to let Ivanov's gang get rid of Odessa. But what the old man didn't expect was that someone came back and played mysterious, hiding his head and tail and not showing up.

What Boris didn't expect was that he was clearly in control of Sevastopol's turmoil and was aware of the rampant activities of the counter-revolutionaries. However, his choice was to let himself go, watching these people occupy the telegraph and telephone bureaus, and watching them fan the flames and create contradictions.

Someone turned a blind eye to all these counter-revolutionary acts and allowed these counter-revolutionaries to toss around at will. At that time, Boris couldn't figure it out and asked someone what it was for.

At that time, someone gave an answer that almost made him angry, and someone replied lightly: "If you want to destroy people, you must first make them crazy." ”

In fact, Boris is not completely ignorant, he thinks that someone is planning to lure the snake out of the hole, so that all the counter-revolutionaries will be exposed, so as to solve the hidden dangers of the Black Sea Fleet once and for all. Truth be told, Boris can understand that.

Especially in the evening, when the sailors of the ships were in a big fight, a certain immortal suddenly took him and forcibly took over the three most important batteries in Sevastopol. Boris, of course, understood the military significance of this move, and taking control of the three batteries was tantamount to putting a safety valve on the Black Sea Fleet. Even if the counter-revolutionaries seize the warship, don't think about going to sea.

Until this time, Boris was quite satisfied with the response of a certain immortal, but everything that happened after that made the old man angry. When Nikolai and Skoropatsky began to make the last moves, they began to detonate the contradictions. At this time, according to the old man's idea, it is necessary to intervene strongly, and it is best to strike out decisively to eliminate all these guys with ulterior motives in one fell swoop, and completely stifle their conspiracy.

However, to Boris's surprise, a certain immortal had no intention of stopping the rebellion at this time, and still sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and did not move, still allowing the counter-revolutionaries to toss and turn casually.

In his opinion, continuing to let himself go means that the conspiracy of the counter-revolutionaries can be achieved, and when they are fully mobilized, it will be difficult to clean up, and the impact will be quite bad. Isn't someone worried at all?

The old man also tried to persuade someone to act quickly and stop all this, but let him say that someone just didn't listen, and still watched the play calmly. Boris is really heartbroken about this!

If this development continues, as the sailors riot, the fleet may really be mastered by this group of guys with ulterior motives, and at that time, the only way to stop this rebellion is to go on a killing spree, let the cannons on the batteries speak, and use cannonballs to help the sailors calm down.

Speaking from the heart, Boris did not want to see this scene, he was full of feelings for the sailors of the fleet and every warship, and he did not want to see a great fleet die in infighting, it would be so sad!

"What the hell do you want to do!" The old man finally couldn't help but erupt.

Li Xiaofeng glanced at the old man, and to be honest, he was also quite surprised. With the old man's stinky temper to endure until now, it is not easy to be sincere, if he doesn't hurry up to give a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid the old man will pick a light pick, and he will have to fight with him if he can't get it.

Li Xiaofeng didn't want to lose a capable person just like that. So he smiled first. Then he said: "What do you think the Black Sea Fleet will mutiny for?" He said. He also pointed in the direction of the chaotic harbor.

Boris is a little confused, is this the time to explore the root cause of the mutiny? If you have the time to think about this, you might as well hurry up and stop the rebellion!

"You're treating the symptoms, not the root cause!" Li Xiaofeng shook his head and said.

Boris pouted his teeth and said with some pain: "Then how is it called cure?" Just like you, let it go? Hum! ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled, didn't care about the old man's complaint at all, but said patiently: "Let me ask you, why won't this happen to the Baltic Fleet?" ”

Boris was getting more confused and impatient by someone's leapfrog thinking. roared: "How do I know the way!" ”

The smile on Li Xiaofeng's face became more and more obvious, and he patiently explained, "I can tell you! ”

At this moment, although Boris was extremely painful and really wanted to punch someone's smiling face, he still held back and said sullenly: "Then you'd better hurry up, otherwise the Black Sea Fleet will soon say goodbye to you Bolsheviks!" ”

Li Xiaofeng didn't sell it anymore, and said with a smile: "The reason is very simple. The Black Sea Fleet was too far from the center of the revolution, unlike the Boros Sea Fleet, which was so deeply affected by the revolution. So big. Although the sailors also stood up and reorganized the fleet commission to represent their interests, the ability of the fleet commission of the Black Sea Fleet to work is really not flattering...... He actually let Kolchak go. The influence of the old forces was not completely cleared, which led to the confusion of the entire fleet...... The more ideas, the more contradictions, and the more natural conflicts...... If we don't root out these chaotic currents of thought. Even if I can solve the problem for a while, the root is still there, and sooner or later there will be another accident! ”

Boris's brows jumped, he could hear the murderous taste in the words of a certain immortal, and he couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to do?" ”

Li Xiaofeng said very firmly: "Of course, let all those guys with evil intentions be exposed, and then wipe them out!" ”

Boris's feeling of bad feelings was a little stronger, but before he could ask again, Li Xiaofeng said to himself: "I want to clean up all those guys who have two hearts at once, and do what should have been done before the fleet committee but didn't do a good job, it's as simple as that!" ”

Boris was visibly unconvinced, for he felt that if an immortal had only wanted to do this, he would have done it a long time ago. Obviously, this guy has other plans, and his hidden plan is the real purpose!

Boris, however, could not guess what the purpose of a certain immortal's hiding was, but he did not have to continue to think about it, because the answer would soon be revealed. When the messenger of a certain immortal sent the latest situation, Li Xiaofeng, who had been lazy, suddenly made a move.

"Old man, you're ready to go!" Li Xiaofeng said in an unquestioning tone, "I authorize you to take all measures to completely eliminate all counter-revolutionaries who plan and participate in this rebellion, and anyone who does not obey your orders, and anyone who opposes your counterinsurgency action, no matter what his previous identity or achievements, will be regarded as an enemy of the people and can be killed on the spot!" ”

Boris twitched the corners of his mouth, although he had been waiting for this moment for a long time, but he always felt strange, he was very curious to know what the messenger had said to someone before, and he believed that the news was the root cause of someone's determination to take action.

However, Boris also knows that someone will never tell him, and he himself has a feeling that it is better to know the news than to know it. So the old man just glanced at a certain immortal meaningfully, and then left with his own people without looking back.

So, what news did Li Xiaofeng receive before? Why does this news make him stop waiting and take decisive action? Actually, the message is very simple, two - the first is that angry sailors have begun to loot arsenals and warships; The second was that the Fleet Council, which had been informed of the news, issued an order to shoot at the "mutinous" sailors.

This means that the conflict has broken out in full swing, and this time is also the time for Li Xiaofeng to plan his move. Why do you choose to do it at this most critical time? I have to say that Boris's estimate is very accurate, and a certain immortal does have a small abacus.

The Black Sea Fleet really needs to be cleansed, the ideology is too complicated, there are towards the Red Army, there are towards the White Army, and there are towards Ukraine. There were even lackeys of the Entente and the Allied bloc. The ingredients are so complex. If you don't clean it, something will definitely happen. This is one of them. The second, and most fundamental reason, is that Li Xiaofeng doesn't like the fleet committee.

This body, elected by the rank and file sailors, did contribute to the revolution at a given time, but their presence became more and more anachronistic as time went on. How to say it! In the end, the Fleet Council was too powerful, and with the help of its strong influence among the sailors, they were able to even resist the orders of the central government.

In a sense. The Fleet Council is a small kingdom of independence, with too much autonomy and freedom. If the powers of the fleet councils cannot be curtailed and they cannot be truly brought into the command system of the Red Army, sooner or later there will be a big mess.

Li Xiaofeng believed that it was very necessary to conduct a screening of the Red Navy, because compared with the nascent Red Army Army, the Navy had inherited too many Tsarist legacies and elements, and had too many old trends of thought, so it was very necessary to reshuffle the Navy and eliminate those discordant factors and elements.

Now, though, to do this you have to be a little skillful. After all, the Fleet Council thing didn't seem to have done badly before, in the October Revolution. The Fleet Council, elected by the sailors, sided with the Bolsheviks and strongly supported the Petrograd uprising.

It should be said that the party and the Central Committee are very satisfied with their performance, and they are full of confidence that this institution will be able to effectively manage the Red Navy. At such a time, they took the initiative to find the fault of the fleet committee and forcefully abolished this body, and not only the sailors did not agree, but even the central government would not agree.

There is no way, Li Xiaofeng can only save the country, if the fleet committee itself makes a mistake and automatically shows that they do not have the ability to control the overall situation, then the existence of this institution will inevitably be questioned.

Now, the insurrection, led by the White Army, assisted by the Entente, and involving all forces, is the best opportunity. Judging from the current situation, the response of the Fleet Committee is quite clumsy, and it has basically lost control over the overall situation, and it is even unpleasant to put it mildly, if it were not for Li Xiaofeng's existence, I am afraid that the Black Sea Fleet would have turned the sky upside down.

"Inform the batteries and convey the order: keep a close watch on the movements of the ships in the harbor, and any attempt to set fire to anchor or leave the berth is considered a mutiny! For the rebels, there is no need to show mercy, all of them are sunk on the spot! ”

After saying this, without waiting for the herald to react, Li Xiaofeng explained: "Convey the same words to all ships and tell them that if you want to talk to the fleet committee for an explanation, you can." However, attempts to seize weapons and equipment, to seize ships are completely intolerable! ”

When the herald left quickly, Li Xiaofeng returned to the state of being at ease with the old god, leisurely watching the situation in the port, as if he was watching a play.

However, this leisure did not last long, and after a few dozen minutes, the situation in the harbor changed, and it was obvious that some ships did not take his orders seriously. The Three Saints and the Kagur obviously began to catch fire, as if they had the intention of anchoring and leaving port, and as these two ships began to move, some other ships also followed suit, preparing to test Li Xiaofeng's bottom line.

"Do you want to warn them again?" Konstantin, the commander of the battery, suggested.

Li Xiaofeng glanced at him and said coldly: "What else to warn, tell the forts, aim at the Three Saints and Kagur, and sink them!" ”

"This seems to be ......" Konstantin still tried to say something, but Li Xiaofeng just glared at him coldly and said categorically: "Execute the order immediately!" ”

Konstantin did not dare to say anything anymore, and with his order, the Nikolaev battery and the Northern Highland battery were able to shoot at all the gun emplacements of the Three Saints and Kagur, firing at once, and the rain of bullets formed by dozens of shells immediately covered the Three Saints and Kagul.

The sudden and decisive arrival of this round of bombardment immediately startled all the warships in the harbor, and those who were eager to try and follow the example of the Three Saints and Kagur were immediately dispelled. Of course, the commanders of the Three Saints and Kagur were in more hurry, and they immediately signaled the battery.

"Comrade Andrei, the Three Saints and the Kagur signaled that they were carrying out the orders of the Fleet Council and were going to quell the rebellion......"

Li Xiaofeng interrupted him: "Tell them that from now on, according to the order I gave before, no one is allowed to light a fire, let alone leave the berth!" ”

"Do you want to keep firing guns?" The commander asked again.

"Why do you want to stop?" Li Xiaofeng asked rhetorically, "I don't see that they have the intention of extinguishing the fire, and before the fire is extinguished, the shelling is not allowed to stop!" As he spoke, he was about to wave his hand and tell the battery commander to get out of here, but at the end he added: "Tell them that even if the boiler is extinguished, the entire crew must be withdrawn from the ship immediately...... Let them assemble on the docks, or else they will be considered a mutiny! ”

The captains of the Three Saints and the Kagur were certainly unwilling to carry out this order, and according to their agreement with Skoropatsky and Nikolai, they immediately gathered their sailors to seize the ships and leave the harbor at once. Now it's impossible to even make a fire in the boiler, so what's the point of leaving the port!

"Let Skoropatsky figure it out, didn't he promise that the battery would not open fire before? Let him fulfill his promise, otherwise, I will not accompany him to death! ”

The captains' request was immediately reflected to Skoropatsky, and at this time he was quite puzzled, Nikolai had analyzed it for him, and the battery would not open fire until it had figured out the specific situation and had received an order from the fleet committee. But now, that's not the case at all! (To be continued......)
