Chapter 1575 Transport Submarine

For the Soviets, the transportation of materials mainly relied on railways, but Tiksi did not have railways. It can be said that Tiksi mainly provided a temporary stop for ships on the Arctic route.

Although the Soviet Union has a vast land, the European part is really inhabited, and most of the Far East is simply not suitable for human habitation.

Therefore, the transportation of materials in the Sokolovka base seems to be a problem, such as aviation fuel.

The Soviets were not short of oil, but when the oil base was bombed, it became extremely difficult to obtain fuel. Ordinary fighter jets don't have enough fuel, and even alcohol is used instead. As for bombers, the fuel needed is often dozens of tons.

Now, a B-29 bomber needs more than ten tons of fuel for one flight, and the entire flight regiment now has twenty bombers, which requires two or three hundred tons of fuel. If it is to fly five times a month, at least Thousands of tons of fuel!

Even if they are a strategic bomber unit, I am afraid they will have to worry about fuel at this time.

Standing next to the small town of Sokolovka, looking at the sea in the distance, the icy sea breeze was blowing on his face like a knife, and there was still sadness in Lieboge's eyes.

"What's the matter? No confidence?" At this moment, the head of the regiment, Wassertziege, came over and asked him.

No one likes to be stationed in this desolate place, there are no prosperous cities around, there are no enthusiastic Russian girls, and there are only aunts in the nearby villages, which makes it difficult to adapt.

But more, it is a kind of worry, this kind of worry covers everyone.

Concerns vary, the big one is, can the Soviets hold out to the end? Small talk, what about the fuel?

"Yeah, every time we fly, the fuel consumption is huge." Liebo said: "Can we last here for a long time?"

Just as he finished speaking, he saw something strange appearing on the sea in the distance. The sea water was rippling, spreading out from the middle to both sides.

A black thing seems to be emerging from below the sea, could it be a whale?

When the big guy slowly floated up, finally, Brother Liebo saw clearly that this was a submarine!

"Look, our fuel has arrived." Wasserziger said with a smile: "Let's go and have a look."

This is a C-class submarine. The main submarine of the Soviet Navy.

This is a diesel-electric submarine with a full-load displacement of more than 1,000 tons. In March 1934, the technical design was completed by the Soviet Union and a Dutch company. The mother type is a batch of German A-type submarines. From the completion of the design to the start of the war, the Soviet Union has produced a total of 27 submarines.

Throughout World War II, the Soviet Navy did not play a big role. Now, the Soviet Union's Northern Fleet is blocked at the door of the house, while the Baltic Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet have been wiped out, leaving only the Pacific Fleet in the Far East, which is almost unscathed. Lossless, is to lose some in the escort.

The Pacific Fleet in the Far East has a full 91 submarines of various types, and there are seven C-class submarines. Now, these submarines are used to do one thing.

transportation.

The use of submarines for transportation is not an accident. The Soviet Union used submarines to withdraw the female sniper Lyudmila. The gold intercepted by Germany was also transported by submarines.

German submarines have a large displacement and can transport a lot, while the Soviet Union is different. This 1,000-ton submarine has already transformed the front torpedo compartment, and can only transport 300 tons of aviation fuel at a time.

The Germans used submarines to ambush, causing heavy losses to the Soviet Union, and surface transportation was almost interrupted. At this time, the Soviets actually came up with this method, using submarines to transport supplies!

The seven C-class submarines of the Pacific Fleet are all used to transport fuel from Alaska in the United States to Tiksi. If they ship twice a month, they can transport 4,000 tons of aviation fuel. Therefore, to the Sokolovka base. Say, fuel is no longer a problem!

At this time, the submarine has already floated up, and this is an absolutely safe area. It is impossible for German submarines to operate near the port. At the same time, even if the Germans find out that they are using submarines for transportation, they will not do the same. In this era, submarines It can only be used to deal with surface ships, and it can't engage in submarine confrontation underwater at all.

Throughout World War II, the results of submarines sinking submarines were all in the floating state. When there was no snorkel, the submarines were floating most of the time, and only dived when they attacked.

At this time, the submarine finally came to the base after a long underwater voyage. Just after surfacing, the hatch was opened, and a submariner was breathing the air outside, extremely intoxicated.

"I can finally float up. It's really uncomfortable to be underwater." The sailor breathed greedily and sighed at the same time.

So uncomfortable.

The secret of the snorkel of German submarines has not been concealed for too long. Soviet submarines have also begun to use snorkels. During their transportation, they are almost always in a submerged state.

Even if there is a snorkel, it can't stop the smell that is getting stronger and stronger.

In the past, there was only the smell of diesel in the submarine, and it was okay to endure it, but now, they are transporting high-grade aviation gasoline, which volatilizes even more.

The smell in there is unbearable.

"The route ahead is normal, and we are about to arrive at the mooring dock." At this time, the sailor was also acting as a lookout. He shouted loudly below, and at the same time, he waved to the people on the shore.

"Welcome to you." Soon, at the pier, Wasserziger shouted loudly, "You are too timely."

At this time, this base has not been replenished with any aviation fuel. The arrival of this submarine will give them the capital to start immediately.

"We also want to be faster." At this moment, a bearded captain also got out from below: "When we get to the shore, we have to come up first, take a breath of air, and then smoke a cigarette. Suffocated."

Liebo watched as the submarine landed on the dock next to the base. He had a new understanding of the location here. He could transport American reinforcements by sea or inland river transport to transport equipment from the mainland. At the same time, there is no need to worry about being discovered by the Germans, the arrangement here is too clever.

At this time, the submarine soldiers filed out, and the fuel pipeline of the base had not been paved. Several oil tankers drove over and began to pump oil from the submarine.
