At nine o'clock in the evening, off the coast east of Sevastopol, a flotilla of more than a dozen ships slowly crossed Cape Khersones towards the harbor. At the head of the pack was an old destroyer that acted as a pathfinder, and the captain on the bridge nervously watched the coastline to the southeast.

In this winding line of coast, two important batteries are hidden, the Aleksandrov battery and the Yajin turret firmly control this part of the coast, and any ship that does not come will face the fire of both batteries. Back then, Su Shun didn't get a good deal with the surprise attack with the Goeben, let alone a fleet of old-fashioned destroyers and slow-moving cargo ships.

The captain's eyes did not dare to leave the two batteries, for fear that in the blink of an eye, the opposite side would fire ten thousand guns, which would be a tragedy.

"Captain, the Russian battery has sent a signal asking us to stop the ship and report our identity!"

The captain took a deep breath and replied calmly: "Tell them that we are from the transport fleet of Novorossiysk. ”

To tell the truth, the captain didn't know at all whether this kind of reply was useful or not, he just did what he was told from above. As for whether it will succeed or not, that can only be asked to God.

The wait was not long, but every second was an ordeal for the captain, and he was relieved only when the Russian battery signaled that they were allowed to move on.

"Send a signal to the flagship, tell them that everything is in order, pass without a hitch!"

When he said this, the captain was also a little proud in his heart, for he who had been fighting with the Black Sea Fleet for two or three years, he had never taken advantage. And this time he will represent the Turks on the land of Sevastopol. What a glory!

Think about it. How long has it been since the loss of Kemilia that Turkish soldiers have landed on this land, does this mean that the Ottoman Turks will regroup and will regain their lost territory from the damned polar bears?

The captain was in a little happy, and he was eager to grow wings and rush into Sevistopol. Fortunately, he has not completely lost his vigilance, and the safe passage through Cape Khersonnes to the gate of Sevastopol is only the first step, and there is another checkpoint to enter Sevastopol.

There is also a gate on the main channel into Sevastopol consisting of remotely controlled mines, anti-submarine barriers and underwater anti-submarine nets. If you break through, you will either be blown up by remote-controlled mines, or you will be beaten into a sieve by the Nikolaev batteries on both sides of the channel and the turrets of the northern highlands.

According to the previous plan, Skoropatsky would act as an internal response, opening this closed gate for them, and as long as they rushed through the gate and landed safely, the rest would be easy.

The captain of the destroyer looked apprehensively at the breakwater guarding Sevastopol, in the middle of which was the only way to enter Sevastopol, at which point the anti-submarine barrier should be raised, and the Nikolaev turret directly opposite should also give another light signal indicating safety. Then there should be a pilot ship to pick him up. Only with all three in place can he move forward with the fleet. Otherwise, you should turn around and go home.

The anti-diving fence slowly rose, and a small tugboat slowly drove out, and at this time, the captain's heart was completely lifted - the signal was almost there! When the signal lights flashed a few times on the Nikolaev battery in the distance, he laughed a little maniacally.

"Everything is safe, you can enter the port!"

The captain almost couldn't wait to send the signal to the ships behind him, after which he was the first to rush into Sevistopol. He wanted too much to see this great city, which once belonged to Turkey, but was later taken away by the Russians.

Unable to contain his excitement, he was no longer satisfied with standing on the bridge and admiring the beautiful night view of the city, he happily rushed to the foredeck, opening his arms as if he wanted to embrace the city.

The captain was not alone in the excitement, but the Turkish sailors who had temporarily taken off their fezer hats also poured onto deck to share the wonderful moment with their captain. But the good-hearted Turks did not notice at all that the tugboat leading the water in front was a little faster, as if they wanted to get rid of them at once.

As the destroyer at the head rushed in, the ships behind obediently walked into the trap like a flock of sheep following the head. On the Nikolaev Battery, which was not very far from them, Li Xiaofeng was in a happy mood admiring this spectacular scene, as long as he gave an order, these poor creatures would be doomed.

"Comrade Andrey, it's time to do it!" The commander of the battery, Konstantin, began to gear up.

"No hurry!" Li Xiaofeng smiled very calmly, "Wait for them to stop." By the way, have troops already been sent to the Aleksandrov and Yajin batteries? The Turks were able to enter the port, and their commanders were indispensable! ”

When Li Xiaofeng said this, Konstantin felt an obvious murderous aura, needless to say, the commanders of the Aleksandrov battery and the Yajin battery were in a catastrophe. In fact, even Konstantin was indignant at those bunches. As the gateway to Sevastopol, their role was to discover and repel invaders from the sea.

And tonight, look at what they have done, let the enemy swagger in, if it is not for the capture of Skoropatsky in advance, and the fact that the main commanders of these two batteries have defected from his mouth, and know the enemy's next course of action, I am afraid that tonight's rebellion will set off a new climax.

In the past, Konstantin had a little criticism of the Cheka's arrests, interrogations, and sanctions against counter-revolutionaries, and felt that their methods were too much, but tonight, he thinks that sometimes the presence of an iron fist is necessary!

The Turks' ships slowly approached the harbor, their berths carefully arranged by Li Xiaofeng, under the crossfire of the Nikolaev battery and the turrets of the northern highlands, and there was not a single Russian warship around. The gunners can vent to their heart's content.

At this moment, the captain of the destroyer who was the leader had not yet realized the danger coming, and he was already so excited that he almost drove the ship into the dock when he returned to the bridge to steer and dock. After tying the cable, he couldn't wait to get on the bow of the ship again. Enjoy the night view of Sevastopol again.

He was quite satisfied with the view of Sevastopol. The only dissatisfaction was the smell of gunsmoke in the air. Some are pungent and some are choking. However, he can understand that Sevastopol must have experienced a chaotic situation this night, and it is normal to shoot and fire, and maybe the smell of gunsmoke will be even more pungent after a while!

Just as the captain was contemplating the next "beauty" and preparing to enjoy the Russian's surprised expression, a change suddenly occurred. As three green flares rose into the sky, the harbor, which had only a few sparks, suddenly became brightly lit, and the searchlight columns from the surrounding batteries firmly locked on the Turks in the harbor.

After a brief silence. A blinding burst of fire erupted from the battery, and the rumbling sound of shelling once again woke Sevastopol, and at that moment it seemed that the whole city was trembling.

The hail of bullets woke up the Turks, and the captain, who had been imagining the future infinitely, was blown off the bow of the ship by the blasting waves, and in the icy waters, he came to his senses to witness a one-sided massacre!

The first wave of bullets turned his ship into a sea of fire, and in the midst of flames, smoke and explosions, sailors screamed and dived, who would have thought that just a few minutes ago, these poor creatures were still imagining a bright future.

It should be said. The captain's destroyers were not the main targets, and the first and foremost of the batteries were the cargo ships that carried troops. The cabins of these ships were full of Ukrainian soldiers who had boarded ships from Izmail. These soldiers are the core strength of Skoropatsky, and to eliminate them is essentially equivalent to cutting off the arms of the Germans reaching out to Ukraine.

To be honest, Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but be shocked when he learned of Skoropatsky's plans, he had always thought that the main targets he had to deal with were the White Army and the Entente. But who would have thought that the Allied bloc would also intervene. These two groups of guys, who were killed and killed on the frontal battlefield, were able to agree on containing the Bolsheviks and messing up Russia!

What does this mean? In the face of national interests, the so-called agreements and friendships are nonsense, and if you believe in the integrity of imperialism, you will really be sold and you have to help count the money.

Li Xiaofeng was a little glad that if he hadn't come to the Black Sea in person, even if Eberhardt and Boris had joined, he would probably still suffer in the face of this group of hooligans who had to make trouble inside and outside. That's shit luck!

Of course, even if an immortal admits this in his heart, he will not say so, but will announce it - Lao Tzu's fiery eyes have long seen through the enemy's conspiracy! It was under his correct command and leadership and meticulous arrangement that he smashed the enemy's conspiracy and wiped out all the counter-revolutionaries!

Political propaganda is like this, everyone has been this virtue throughout the ages, even if a blind cat encounters a dead mouse, it has to be propagated and strategized to lay a net. Anyway, everyone will get used to it when they spit and spit it.

Under heavy artillery fire, the "cargo ships" in the port caught fire one by one, and the Ukrainians, who kept pouring out of the cabins, jumped into the sea with flames. Of course, many more Ukrainians did not have a chance to escape from the cabin, and most of them were killed directly by heavy artillery fire as the ships sank to the bottom of the sea.

When the artillerymen were happily shooting targets to reap Ukraine's lives, Li Xiaofeng had already left the Nikolaev battery. For him, there was nothing to see about such a one-sided slaughter. Now, it's time to deliver the last blow to the Fleet Council, and then finish perfectly.

There are also some sailors gathered at the Fleet Commission station, not that they are all hard-line diehards, ready to carry to the death. They were nothing more than newly elected representatives of the soldiers, who would represent the angry soldiers before the Fleet Council.

However, the results of the negotiations were not satisfactory, and the fleet committee flatly denied the accusations of the soldiers, but insisted that the soldiers had been instigated by the counter-revolutionaries to carry out the counter-revolutionary actions in a wrong way.

There is a belly of fire on both sides, and no one can convince anyone, and the final result is that the chicken and the duck are talking.

"The accusations against the Fleet Council are unjustified, the fact is that you have been deceived and acted as thugs of counter-revolutionaries, and this behavior is unforgivable!"

"Shit! It is you who are acting recklessly, persecuting innocent sailors, and refusing to accept our opinions, you are counter-revolutionaries, and you should be shot! ”

There was a bit of tension between the two factions, and if it weren't for Boris with the Marines, the two groups would have resumed fighting. But the old man said it early in the morning. Negotiation is possible. Let's talk about the facts. Reasoning. If anyone tries to use force unreasonably, then he will not be polite.

To tell the truth, the fleet council had a stomach-to-stomach opinion on the old man's approach, and they considered the old man unqualified to order and demand them. As the de facto masters of the fleet, it is their right to call the shots. Now an outsider is pointing fingers at them, what is that?

Of course, what the fleet committee was most dissatisfied with was that the old man actually sat on his ass crookedly, as Li Xiaofeng's subordinate. He should be in line with the Fleet Committee, which is recognized by the Central Committee. But this old thing actually helped the rebel sailors to threaten them, and it should be cut with a thousand cuts!

However, Boris turned a deaf ear to the reproaches of the Fleet Council, and he did not rely on the Fleet Committee to make a comeback, his boss was a certain immortal, and he only had to obey the instructions of a certain immortal. Moreover, the old man really didn't know what to say about the performance of the fleet committee in tonight's incident.

The performance of this gang of goods is so clumsy that they are simply played with in applause, such qualities, such abilities, are simply not enough to control the Black Sea Fleet. It's good for the fleet to let them get out of here sooner!

Of course. The old man was not obviously on the side of the sailors, he was more like a host. After letting the opponents on both sides play, they began to pretend to be deep, smoke with their heads down, and don't say a word.

The old man's silence finally angered the fleet committee, and one of the members pointed at his nose and roared: "Boris, as an adviser to Comrade Andrei, you should be in line with the Central Committee, and you should immediately arrest these traitors who are engaged in counter-revolutionary activities!" If you still ignore this, I will ......"

"What will happen to you?"

Behind this committee member, Li Xiaofeng walked into the conference room lazily, looking at his lazy appearance and ridiculous tone, it seemed that he had returned from vacation.

When Boris saw a certain immortal come in, he immediately stood up and dropped a sentence: "You are here?" You'll take care of the matter here! Then he flashed quickly.

Speaking from the heart, the old man is really tired enough, he is most annoyed by the fight of words, he would rather find ten enemies to fight hand-to-hand than drop the book bag.

"It's going to be a lively night!" Li Xiaofeng shook his head and sighed as he walked.

And his sudden appearance gave the fleet committee an opportunity to complain, and several committees rushed up and were ready to pour bitter water, as if in their opinion, Li Xiaofeng should be in line with them.

However, Li Xiaofeng ignored them, and in the suspicious eyes of the sailor representatives, he unceremoniously occupied the top position, cleared his throat and said, "Let's not talk about your business first." Not long ago, I smashed a counter-revolutionary conspiracy and captured a large number of counter-revolutionaries...... According to the results of the surprise interrogation, in the Black Sea Fleet there were a large number of counter-revolutionaries...... Their activities are so rampant that they have even colluded with foreign forces in an attempt to subvert our people's power...... This kind of atrocity is absolutely intolerable, and I will use the power granted to me by the central government to fight and destroy them with all my might! ”

Li Xiaofeng's speech made the fleet committee secretly complacent, they thought that Li Xiaofeng was helping them endorse, and they immediately smiled happily and were ready to settle accounts with the sailor representatives!

However, they didn't expect that the words of a certain immortal were actually aimed at them, and just when they were most happy, a basin of cold water was poured down.

I saw that a certain immortal said very solemnly: "Based on the evidence I have for the time being, as well as the confessions of the counter-revolutionary prisoners, I believe that the fleet committee must be responsible for everything that happened tonight...... A part of the fleet commissioners colluded with the White Army to collude with Skoropatsky in Ukraine, and even with imperialists abroad, to plan and lead tonight's rebellion! ”

The Fleet Council was stunned, and they were immediately dumbfounded by the smug and arrogant attitudes they had just heard, and they couldn't believe what they had heard. It wasn't until Li Xiaofeng waved his hand heavily and ordered the guards to arrest them that he woke up and shouted one by one:

"You can't do that, we're the centrally appointed Fleet Council! You don't have the right to arrest us! ”

"We want to report you to the Central Committee, you are conniving at the counter-revolutionary enemy!"

"You are the counter-revolutionary, you are the culprit!"

Li Xiaofeng turned a deaf ear to these hissing shouts, and just waved his hand, asking the guards to quickly get the group of goods away. When the conference room was quiet again, Li Xiaofeng immediately changed his face again, with a kind smile, and greeted the sailor representatives with a pleasant face:

"Comrade soldiers, because we have not done our job properly, we have wronged you tonight...... Because of your timely actions, I have time to discover and thwart the conspiracy of the counter-revolutionaries. ”

After a pause, he said in a demagogic voice: "I will immediately meet your reasonable requests, and I will immediately release those comrades who have been wrongfully arrested, and sincerely apologize to them on behalf of the organization...... However, although the conspiracy of the counter-revolutionaries has been foiled, there is still a part of us that is hidden, and we must identify them as soon as possible, and I urgently need your cooperation......"

Li Xiaofeng's good attitude simply flattered the sailor deputies, and they were so fooled that they couldn't find the north in three or five sentences, especially after he promised to report the evil deeds of the Central Fleet Committee to the Central Committee and try them for their crimes, someone's prestige was rising! (To be continued......)

PS: Bow and thank you to the generous Comrade Juventus!
