    :.

    Comrade Stalin had a good sleep. In his dream, he went to Kulun to inspect and was greeted by a huge crowd of people. They all shouted "Long live Stalin". They also erected a statue of himself in the square in the city center and raised his objection to the mayor on the spot.  Criticism, it is wrong for you to engage in personality worship like this, but for the sake of your sincerity, forget it this time and don¡¯t do it next time.

    My modesty and prudence have won praise from the whole party and people across the country. Everyone said that the great Comrade Stalin was a good leader of the people.

    Finally, he woke up with laughter and reluctantly opened his eyes. Although this was just a dream, Stalin believed that his day was not far away.

    After everything was sorted, Stalin came to the wartime command center of the Kremlin. The originally bustling command center suddenly fell silent. Stalin was very satisfied with the awe of the people below him, but he still said with a smile: "Let's continue the discussion, the truth  It always becomes clearer the more you argue."

    Walking into his office, there were already files to be processed on his desk. He quickly looked through it and there was no battle report from Blucher. This was wrong. It was already 8:30 in the morning, Moscow time. Chi  The time on the tower should be one o'clock in the afternoon. Ten hours have passed. Has the brave Soviet Red Army not made any progress?

    Stalin pressed the red button on the table, and after a while a command staff officer in military uniform came in

    "Hello, General Secretary"

    "Well, why didn't I find the battle report from the Far East? What's the situation there now?" Stalin asked with a frown on his face and a dissatisfied look on his face.

    "Report to the General Secretary, there is no news from the Far East yet." The staff officer did not know the situation in the Far East early, so he had to tell the truth.

    "Well, no news is the best news. You go down first." Stalin nodded and smiled.

    The staff officer looked at Stalin¡¯s fatherly smile, saluted excitedly, turned and left

    The staff officer turned around, and Stalin immediately pulled his face down. There was no news. Could there be something wrong at the front?  He immediately dialed a phone number and said, "I want to know the news about the Far East Front."

    As a shrewd politician, Stalin was very familiar with the following things of reporting good things but not bad things. Although he had done this kind of thing before and was proud of deceiving his superiors, this did not mean that he wanted to be deceived.  people

    ?Bluukher still didn¡¯t know that he had been targeted by Stalin. After the artillery of the Central Route Army was reimbursed by the Chinese National Defense Force in the morning, another bad news came. The warships on the Amur River were also bombed.

    Rear Admiral Ozolin, commander of the Amur River Fleet, was authorized by the Revolutionary Military Commission of the Soviet Far East Special Group Army to command warships to defend the Amur River and prevent Chinese troops from crossing the river for raids.

    Ozolin was very dissatisfied with Blyucher's arrangement. He believed that his warships could completely annihilate the Chinese Jiang Defense Fleet. However, Blyucher repeatedly ordered that only defense is allowed and no attack is allowed. Although Ozolin was a little conceited, he disobeyed.  He still didn't dare to do what was ordered

    After the battle started, he commanded the warships to patrol the river to prevent the squadron from sneak attacks. When the Chinese air force brigade flew over, they did not see it. Later, Khabarovsk sent a telegram asking about the matter. Only then did Ozolin know about Khabarovsk.  The airport was bombed

    This is the price of only defending but not attacking, Ozolin thought in his mind, so he decided to give the returning Chinese Air Force some color to see how many Lenin-class heavy gunships his Amur Fleet had: Sernov, Sver  The five warships Dlov, Lenin, Red Vostok, and Sun Yat-sen were originally built by Tsarist Russia in 1907.

    The length of the ship is 70.9 meters, the width is 12.8 meters, the draft is 1.41 meters, and the displacement is 965 tons; the total power is 1,000 horsepower, and the maximum range can reach 11.5 knots.

    In terms of weapons and equipment, the ships are not consistent. The "Lenin", "Red Vostok" and "Sun Yat-sen" have 8 120mm guns installed in 4 twin armored turrets, 2 85mm anti-aircraft guns, 2 37mm anti-aircraft guns, 20  6 mm anti-aircraft guns and 2 7.62 mm anti-aircraft machine guns;

    "Sverdlov" and "Schernov" have 4 152mm guns, 2 37mm anti-aircraft guns, 6 20mm anti-aircraft guns, 4 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and 5 7.62mm anti-aircraft machine guns;

    This is why Ozolin dared to give the Chinese Air Force some color. He ordered several main warships of the Amur River Fleet to immediately gather near Khabarovsk to prepare to intercept the Chinese aircraft that had bombed Khabarovsk. His flagship, the Sernov  , as soon as he arrived at the scheduled location, he heard the unique roar of the aircraft engine. He immediately ordered to fire. For a while, the anti-aircraft guns on several warships on the river began to fire into the sky.

    Zhou Chengbin, captain of the Third Battalion, came back from bombing Khabarovsk Airport. He was happily chatting with his men when he heard the sound of anti-aircraft guns being fired below.

    ??"Climb higher, climb higher immediately, and get out of this airspace. There are enemy anti-aircraft gun positions below." Zhou Chengbin didn't know that there was a warship below, so he thought it was an enemy anti-aircraft gun position and shouted loudly.

    Following his order, everyone quickly climbed up and left the airspace according to his instructions. Fortunately, there were clouds in the sky at this time, blocking the sight of the warships on the river. None of the Chinese air force was hit, otherwise they would  The brigade suffered heavy losses. If there were no casualties during the mission, but were shot down on the way back, it would be a joke.

    "Captain, it seems that what attacked us just now was not the enemy's anti-aircraft gun position, but the warships on the Heilongjiang River." The voice of Zheng Siru, the leader of the 4th Squadron, came from the earphones.

    Zhou Chengbin thought about it, right? If it were the enemy's anti-aircraft gun position, they would be attacked when they went there.

    "You're right, it's the enemy's warship. It seems that Lao Maozi doesn't want their warship anymore," Zhou Chengbin said fiercely

    He was very unhappy. You know, as a pilot, he always thought he was superior to others. He looked down on the army and the navy. But just now he was almost wiped out by the enemy's navy. How could he swallow this breath?

    After returning to Harbin, he immediately sent a telegram to the Duolun headquarters, saying that he had discovered the enemy's naval force and the Air Force's Third Group requested to attack again to sink the enemy's warships.

    Zhang Anle also felt that the warships in Heilongjiang must be eliminated, but he was not sure whether the air force was capable of this task, but he could not dampen the enthusiasm of the soldiers to fight, so he agreed to Zhou Chengbin's plan but repeatedly warned him to ensure that he  Act safely

    Zhou Chengbin was very happy to receive Zhang Anle¡¯s call back. He immediately urged the ground crew to add fuel and ammunition to the plane and then sent someone to contact the troops along the river to confirm the location of the military fleet.

    After the second group flew back, they heard that the third group was going to fly again. The pilots of the third group asked the captain Zhao Qiang for orders to also attack.

    Zhao Qiang saw that the morale of his men was high. It was also his first time to perform a mission. The excitement in his heart had not dissipated, so he also sent a telegram to Zhang Anle. Zhang Anle agreed that the second and third brigades would attack at the same time.

    The Second and Third Flying Groups, which had replenished their fuel and ammunition, took off again, with the target being the fleet in Heilongjiang.

    Ozolin was annoyed at this time. In the battle just now, the enemy aircraft was not shot down, so he ordered to continue patrolling westward. They did not know that every move they made was reported to the Air Force by the Chinese troops on the other side.

    Just when their warship was about to arrive at Tongjiang, the second and third brigade arrived

    The two brigades that had already divided their attack targets began to head straight for their targets. Zhou Chengbin, who was eager to avenge his humiliation, naturally wanted the Sernov. The bombers he skillfully operated attacked the most eye-catching ship with the navy flag.  The warship swooped over

    At this time, Ozolin had already heard the roar of the aircraft engine. Without waiting for his orders, the gunners had already started to fire. However, the swooping aircraft was already in front of them. The angle of the anti-aircraft gun had not yet been adjusted. The roaring aircraft dropped a bomb.  Fly straight up again

    The gunners on the fort quickly evaded, but it was too late. The bomb exploded on the fort, and all the gunners were blown away by the shock wave generated by the explosion.

    The Chinese Defense Forces on the other side of the river began to fire at the warships on the river, and the Chinese warships docked in the same river also came to help. It was impossible for the Sernov to drain the water. Ozolin had to hand over command to the Lenin.  abandon ship with soldiers

    The fighter jets in the sky did not intend to bypass them. They kept swooping and strafing. Many Soviet soldiers who fell into the river were either killed or blown up by artillery shells on the shore.

    The Lenin, which had just become the flagship, was unfortunately hit by a cannon from the approaching Jiangheng. During the emergency turn, it also hit the Sverdlov.

    The two warships were suddenly stuck. The Chinese pilots did not waste this opportunity. The two warships each ate two bombs, and then they became the prey of the Chinese warships that came over.

    When other Soviet warships saw that something was not going well, they quickly ordered a retreat.

    The Amur River Fleet Air Force, which scrambled to take off and came to support, started an air battle with Chinese fighter jets in the air. The Chinese Air Force, which was waiting for work, shot down 6 Soviet aircraft and 2 were shot down.

    In this battle, the Japanese fleet won a great victory. The ten warships of the Amur River Fleet participating in the battle: Sernov, Lenin and Sverdlov were sunk; Sun Yat-sen, Red Vostok and Red Star lost power; Red Flag  , Mongolian, Proletarian and Buryat all suffered varying degrees of damage.

    The three warships that lost power became prisoners of China. When the Soviet Union named this warship after Sun Yat-sen, I am afraid it did not expect that it would become a prisoner of Chinese warships in the future.

    How dare Blyucher dare to report to Stalin after receiving such a battle report?When reporting the war situation, should he say: Dear Comrade Stalin, although we have made no progress in the past half day, the artillery has been destroyed, the navy has suffered heavy losses, and the air force has finished, but I believe that victory will definitely belong to our great Soviet. I believe that dear Stalin  The comrade doesn't mind if I slap him hard twice

    The saddest thing in the world is that you can¡¯t hide the things you hide from each other, but you don¡¯t report them

    Although Blyucher did not submit this report, Stalin had already received a piece of news from the front line. His iconic smile was no longer on his face, and his hands were clenched in anger.

    If anyone familiar with Stalin¡¯s behavior sees this, he will know that Comrade Stalin was very angry and the consequences would be serious (to be continued)
