Chapter 1331 There Is Still a Chance
"Our reconnaissance planes have spotted the formation of the Soviet Black Sea Fleet, just over a hundred nautical miles away, rushing in our direction." On the battleship Stuttgart, Fredberg said: "They The main force is just a heavy cruiser, and it dares to pounce on us."
Lieutenant General Marshall nodded: "Yes, now, we must make a decisive decision."
The timing is just unfortunate, the two sides will meet in about one and a half to two hours. The Soviets' Black Sea Fleet is actually watching so closely. According to the time, it happens that their own aircraft carrier formation is recovering the carrier. When the time comes, it is the most chaotic time for oneself.
How to do?
Bypass the Soviet fleet? It is also possible, as long as one's own side changes its course now, it can avoid the other side, but how can this be in line with one's own combat style?
As the Imperial Navy, there is no time to back down. Now, it is time to completely wipe out the Black Sea Fleet!
Machar stood up, looked at the chart, and said, "We split into two teams, one team is going to face the Black Sea Fleet, and the other team is here to protect the aircraft carrier formation and recover the carrier aircraft."
This is the safest solution at present. After finishing the matter, Fredberg said: "Let's use our own 460 naval guns to let the Soviets know how powerful we are, and we will be the first to fire a salvo. , they can knock their biggest warships into the sea."
Fredberg was looking forward to the fight, but the next moment, he was disappointed.
"No, if the Stuttgart wants to protect our aircraft carrier, let the Count of Cavour go." Marshall said.
The Stuttgart is the flagship, and at the same time, the displacement of 70,000 tons makes it the overlord of the sea, and at this time, it is not necessary to deal with the heavy cruisers of the 10,000-ton Soviets.
Now this good opportunity is left to the Italian Navy.
According to the agreement, the western part of the Mediterranean Sea was under the jurisdiction of France, and the eastern part was under the jurisdiction of Italy. In this battle into the Black Sea, the Italian navy also did its part and dispatched several warships, including the Count of Cavour.
Although this is a battleship built during the First World War, it is a bit old, but after all, it is also a huge battleship with a displacement of nearly 30,000 tons. What is the problem with using it to fight the Black Sea Fleet?
It has ten 320mm naval guns. After being refitted in 1937, its combat effectiveness is first-class, and there is absolutely no problem.
This glorious victory of completely destroying the Soviet fleet is left to the Italian Navy. Machar is very generous.
So, Fredberg could only give up, he looked at the Italian battleship with envious eyes, and left his formation with several warships.
No one knows that after Cyric's transformation, the Italian Army is no longer the Noodle Army, but the Italian Navy is still the Noodle Army without Cyric's intervention. a shame.
The two fleets separated, and the aircraft carrier formation stayed in the original sea area, waiting for their own fighters to return. At the same time, the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet also received news that surprised them.
The German naval aviation launched a surprise attack and blew up nine of its own field bases! A large number of bombers there were destroyed by the Germans!
By the navy? The navy was attacked by the opponent's submarine, relying on aviation? The bomber of the aviation force was actually wiped out on the ground. What could be more speechless than this?
Lieutenant General Oktyabsky sat in front of his desk with his hands in the table bucket, stroking his own gun that had been with him for decades, and now he was about to use it. Take your own gun and end your life.
Can it be recovered?
The Black Sea Fleet has failed, a complete failure!
He slowly picked up his pistol, opened his mouth and shoved it into his mouth, preferring to die at his post rather than being sent to Moscow for questioning.
"Crackling." At this moment, the door suddenly opened. Outside, Rear Admiral Vladimirsky walked in. Seeing this scene, he immediately walked over: "Commander, what are you doing?"
"Don't persuade me, it's useless, now the Black Sea Fleet is over." Oktyabrsky's eyes were gray: "Why am I still alive? I have no face to see Comrade Stalin."
The fleet is over, the aviation force is over, and the hope of revenge is gone, how should he explain? Only to die!
"No, it's not over yet!" said Rear Admiral Vladimirsky: "We still have two bomber bases that have not been attacked by the Germans, and we still have more than 20 I-4 bombers ready to take off. Now that the German air force is returning to their aircraft carrier, we may be able to pretend to be their aircraft and fly into their aircraft carrier formation. Even twenty bombers can blow up the main German battleship. We have not yet fail!"
Of course, the Germans couldn't find all the aviation bases. They could only find some of them. It was an accident that they found nine of them.
However, there are still two bases that are intact. The bomber units there are ready to set off. They have not yet dispatched. They are waiting for the position of the German aircraft carrier formation, and now, it has been determined!
"Also, General Gorshkov has not given up, he is still taking the remaining warships, looking for the main battleship of the Germans, and we have 47 submarines, and now, 32 submarines have sailed, They are sailing towards the position of the German Navy, and as long as the Germans are in our Black Sea, they can't go back alive!"
At the beginning, the Soviet Union did not pay attention to the role of submarines. It only saw that Germany was so effective in striking from the air, so it planned to rely on aviation to solve the German Navy. Today, Germany has taught the Soviet Union a lesson again.
Since the Germans can use submarines, so can the Soviet Union!
There are also bombers at two bases, surface ships, and a large number of submarines. This battle is not over yet! It's hard to say who will kill the deer!
As long as the last moment is not reached, never give up, even if you die on the battlefield, it is better than suicide! When Rear Admiral Vladimirsky heard the news that his base had been bombed, it was like a bolt from the blue, but he quickly reacted, counted the losses, and waited for an opportunity. Now, he found that he still had a chance to win and ran Came to find the commander, but saw that the commander was going to commit suicide.
Hearing Rear Admiral Vladimirsky's words, Oktyabrsky put down his gun: "Yes, we still have submarines, let the Germans know how powerful our submarines are! We want all German warships to be Disappear in our Black Sea!"
