Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

"Are these damn bastards really going to fight to the last man?!"

In the headquarters outside Leningrad, General Ewald von Kleist paced back and forth anxiously, cursing angrily. Now only an area of ​​about four kilometers in Leningrad is still in the hands of the Soviet army, but these bastards just refuse to surrender.

He knew that the commander of the Leningrad garrison was Mikhail Semyonovich Hozin. He had never heard of this man's outstanding military talents before, but he did not expect that he had such a stubborn temper. You are about to die, so why not How nice to surrender. Either learn from Shaposhnikov in Smolensk, or learn from Vasilevsky in Stalingrad.

Commander Hozin's military ability is indeed average. After the outbreak of World War II in the original time and space, he followed Zhukov and served successively as the Logistics Minister of the Reserve Front, Deputy Chief of General Staff and Director of the Leningrad Front of the General Staff, Chief of Staff of the Leningrad Front, and in October 194 He succeeded Marshal Kulik as the commander of the Independent 54th Army. In the same month, he was recommended by Zhukov to serve as the commander of the Leningrad Front. In March 1942, he requested the unified command of the Leningrad Front and the Volkhov Front to break the German attack on Leningrad. Block, get permission. But it turned out that he did not have the genius command ability to lead such a large force. Instead, he trapped the Second Assault Group in a tight siege and was later dismissed from the position of commander of the front army.

But ability is ability, and his loyalty to the Soviet Union and Stalin can definitely be demonstrated by the sun and the moon, and can be learned from heaven and earth, otherwise he would not have been able to persist until now.

General Kleist doesn't care about the loyalty of the other party. He just wants to completely occupy this damn city and then rename it Fort St. Frederick! "Instruct the frontline troops to stop the attack and retreat one kilometer. Use all artillery, bombers, and attack aircraft to blast this four-kilometer radius area into rubbish! Throw all the ground-penetrating bombs in stock over there!"

Just as General Kleist was roaring, in the distant waters of Adak Island, the German fleet commander Colonel Vogt received news that the Soviet naval fleet was heading towards Adak Island.

"What? Four Soviet-class battleships?!" Colonel Vogt was shocked, but his tone was not panic, but surprise. "The four Soviet-class battleships are here to give us their results! Hahaha! I really have to thank Stalin for his generosity!!" He couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and he was a little overwhelmed with excitement.

"The Soviets have sent out all their navy's wealth." The adjutant on the side said with a smile. "It seems that Stalin is quite self-aware and knows that once our military base here is built, the destruction of their Pacific Fleet will be a matter of time."

The Soviet Pacific Fleet is deployed on the Pacific coast of eastern Russia. It was formerly the Russian Far East Navy. It was established in the early 18th century. In 1923, the Soviet Union had already established a naval administration in Vladivostok. Shortly thereafter, the Soviet Union established the "Far East Navy" on this basis. "In 1935, the Far East Navy was renamed the Pacific Fleet.

"Yes." Colonel Vogt nodded. "Prepare to take off carrier-based aircraft and kill this Soviet fleet in one go."

At this time, in the Soviet fleet, Ivan Stepanovich Isakov was in command. This person can be considered a veteran in the navy. As early as 1918, when Lenin proposed the creation of the Soviet Navy, he was one of the first batch of naval personnel. After the October Revolution, he successively served as captain of a destroyer and minesweeper, assistant to the chief of staff and director of operations of the Black Sea Fleet, and chief of staff of the Baltic Fleet. After 1936, he entered the head office of the Soviet Navy and served as deputy naval commissar, first deputy naval people's commissar, and president of the Naval Academy. During World War II, he served as chief of staff of the Naval General Headquarters and became Kuznetzinev's right-hand man.

Not only is he a veteran, his military ability is also outstanding. Isakov, who was born in this time and space, was awarded 6 Orders of Lenin, many medals of various orders, and a degree as a Communications Academician of the Soviet Academy of Sciences. He was the only one among the top generals of the Soviet Navy. He wrote a large number of academic works to improve the combat effectiveness of the Soviet Navy, develop campaign tactics, and study the Soviet Navy's experience in the Patriotic War.

One day after the war, Stalin called him and said he was considering appointing him chief of naval staff. Isakov replied: "Comrade Stalin, I have to report to you that I have a serious defect. One of my legs was seriously injured in the war and was amputated." "Is this the only defect that you think must be reported?" "Yes. "Our original chief of staff didn't even have a brain, but he still worked. You are just missing a leg, nothing special." In this way, he became the chief of staff of the Navy Headquarters.

But at this moment, Isakov felt very uneasy.

Comrade Stalin dispatched four Soviet-class battleships in one go. Although the opponent only had two battleships and three aircraft carriers, he had no certainty of victory at all. The closer he got to Adak Island, the more uneasy he felt. If it weren't for Stalin Comrade personally gave the order. He really wanted the fleet to turn around and evacuate.

After all, the two Soviet-class battleships that supported the United States last time sank into the sea without even being able to sink an enemy ship. Moreover, they also learned from the Americans that the German battleships were equipped with quite advanced fire control radars, which could achieve precise bombardment from a distance of 20,000 meters. On the other hand, our own side does not even have ordinary ship-borne radars. Although we have discussed with the United States before installing radars on their warships, the Americans have not been able to install radars on all their own warships. How could they care about the Soviets? battleship; this matter can only be put on hold temporarily, and it has been put on hold until now.

What's even more strange is that the two Soviet-class battleships were not sunk by German naval guns, but were hit by torpedoes launched by the German fleet and eventually sank. According to the analysis of the battlefield situation at that time, the Germans launched torpedoes at least 25,000 meters away, and they could accurately hit the target after sailing 25,000 meters. The performance of the German torpedoes was also incredible. How did they do it?

In this way, if our own naval guns are inferior to the opponent's, and our torpedoes are even inferior to the opponent's, how can we fight this battle? !

But he also knew that if these German warships were not expelled, once they established a military base in the Aleutian Islands, something serious would really happen. The Americans' transportation routes will be cut off, and even their Pacific Fleet base will be threatened by the Germans.

In distress, the fleet was less than 400 kilometers away from Adak Island. "Everyone, please be vigilant. We have entered the combat range of German carrier-based aircraft..." Before he could finish his words, the correspondent reported some not-so-good news. "Comrade Commander, the water reconnaissance planes we sent encountered German fighter planes! The number exceeded 200!"

"Damn!" Isakov cursed softly. It seemed that the Germans did not intend to play artillery battle with them this time, but sent carrier-based aircraft.
