Chapter 1170 Once a Good Friend

Central Kotlin, Base Command.

Although the main force of the Baltic fleet has been transferred to Tallinn, after all, Kronstadt is still one of the most important transportation routes for the Soviets and an important base for the navy.

Now inside the base is Rear Admiral Panteleev. He heard the rumble on the beach outside. At this time, his face was quite ugly.

"What about our fighter jets? Take off our fighter jets immediately!" Panteleev said: "The German navy dared to hit our doorstep."

Without such a bully, the other party's bomber actually came to the door of his own house, which is simply a shame.

As the Red Flag Baltic Fleet, it was the largest Soviet fleet. In addition to various ships, it also had a powerful naval aviation force with more than 300 fighter jets and nearly 200 bombers.

Now, the German air force is raging, bombing their fleet, at such a time, they need their fighters to take off and go to expel them.

Major General Panteleev only took office two days ago. He only had literal data. Now, after hearing his words, Colonel Petrov was quite helpless.

"We can't mobilize any of the planes right now."

"why?"

"In order to defend Petersburg, Marshal Voroshinov moved all our aviation troops away," Colonel Petrov said.

When the Germans started this war, they wiped out the air force in the western part of the Soviet Union almost at the airport in an instant. After that, almost all the Luftwaffe Air Force was active over the entire battlefield.

The Soviet Union was catching up. They woke up from the hasty confrontation, and the huge state machine immediately started to mobilize weapons everywhere.

Marshal Voroshinov personally came to the northern military district of the Soviet, and Stalin gave him the task of protecting Petersburg, this sacred city, from being damaged by the Germans.

As a result, Voroshinov also did his part and drew weapons and equipment from all over the place, and the naval aviation in the Baltic Sea seemed to be empty for the time being, so he simply sent the naval aviation back to protect Petersburg.

The apparent reason is that the base of the naval air force was also bombed, and a new field base was built in Petersburg, and the air force was mobilized first.

As a result, under the German air raids after the war, the Baltic Naval Air Forces, which had less than a hundred fighters remaining, all moved to Petersburg.

In terms of distance, it is actually not far. The base here is only a few dozen kilometers away from Petersburg. However, this has already involved the transfer of inter-services. After applying one by one, the Germans have long run away.

It is definitely too late to mobilize the air force now.

"Commander, it's not good, our battleship Mara was sunk by the Germans!" At this moment, amazing news came to the headquarters.

"Our battleship, the October Revolution, is sinking."

"Our No. 3 coastal defense gun was destroyed."

One by one, the information was reported continuously. Panteleyev covered his head in pain and watched helplessly as the Baltic Fleet was annihilated, but they could only watch and could not fight back!

For the Soviet Baltic Fleet, this day was a day they will never forget.

The Stuka bombers were rampant, not many, and if the Baltic Fleet dispatched even five fighter jets, they could be expelled.

But they didn't, their fleet was ravaged by the Stuka bombers, and their shore artillery positions were also bombed by the Germans.

A door of antiaircraft guns fired violently against the sky, as if to release the resentment in their hearts, but it was useless, the German bombers seemed to be hiding, and when their artillery fire stopped, Stuka The bomber suddenly got out of nowhere and dived towards the shore artillery position.

On the sea, the rest of the warships are in a state of no masters.

The Baltic Sea is huge. In terms of quantity, it has 2 battleships, 2 cruisers, 21 destroyers, 7 frigates, etc. Now, it is almost the main force of the entire fleet.

The two battleships had already been attacked in the channel, and they blocked the channel, making it impossible for other warships outside to pass through.

What's more, the commander of the fleet was on the Mara, because the Mara was sunk so fast that until now, they did not know the life and death of the commander of the fleet.

There was no one to direct them, and they were almost in a mess.

Originally behind the Mara was the Kirov cruiser. This cruiser was the latest cruiser that was commissioned in 38 years. This cruiser, and other destroyers and frigates in the fleet, were almost all Sood. Friendly evidence.

This warship with a displacement of 8,000 tons is the largest warship built by the Soviet Navy Shipyard itself. Designed by German engineers.

The other Dezezinski-class frigates and Tashkent-class destroyers in the fleet were built directly by the Germans. The Soviet Union only needed to use mineral resources to barter, and this cruiser was built with the help of Germany. , built by the Soviets themselves.

A few years ago, the relationship between the Soviet navy and the German navy was still very good. The two sides even held joint exercises in the North Sea. Unexpectedly, now the Germans have erected cannons against the Soviet Union.

On the bridge, Captain Alexandrov didn't know what it was like. Just after the two battleships were destroyed, those dive bombers almost came to him.

This warship was originally designed with the help of the Germans. The Germans are very aware of the weaknesses in air defense. If the opponent swoops down, they will not be spared at all. Who would have thought that they would turn around and shoot shore artillery. Why?

"Alarm, found the German fleet!" At this moment, the lookout post on the mast suddenly shouted loudly, and a German fleet appeared on the sea in the distance!

Alexandrov turned his head, looked into the distance with his telescope, and immediately opened his mouth. The one with the barrel held high was a 380mm naval gun! In an instant, he recognized the model of the other party.

"Quick, move closer to our shore, be quick!" At this time, he already knew why the other party wanted to shoot their shore artillery, but now, they had almost no other choice except for the protection of the shore artillery.
