Petersburg.

After the Great Patriotic War began, field marshal voroshinov was appointed member of the National Defense Commission, member of the headquarters of the Supreme Command and commander in chief of the northwest.

His main task is to protect the great October Revolution resort, Petersburg.

But now, the situation seems to be quite unfavourable.

At this time, in the northwest command, voroshinov was nodding to the phone, and on the other side of the phone was a roaring lion.

"Why did puskov lose it? Where are you going to withdraw? To the Arctic Ocean? " This voice, which he knew very well, belonged to Stalin, and now voroshinov was sweating.

On the northern front, things have not been going well.

As the field marshal of the Soviet Union, voroshinov made outstanding military achievements. From the beginning of the civil war, he came together with Lenin and Stalin. During the Great Purge, voroshinov stood in line accurately and with high flags, becoming the most obedient person under Stalin.

It was also because of this that he came all the way and was entrusted with an important task by Stalin.

Voroshinov is the God of war in the propaganda, but now in the war, it seems that no one in the Soviet has good luck.

Stalin was quite dissatisfied with them.

The defeat of taugfpils made the Pskov Leningrad front line completely exposed to the German army because it lost its natural barrier.

At that time, Stalin was so angry that he ordered general Kuznetsov to be removed from the post of commander of the northwest front army, replaced by major general sobinikov, commander of the 8th group army, and appointed lieutenant general watukin as the chief of staff of the front army.

However, this obviously had no effect. The German army marched in and occupied Riga, the capital of Latvia, and broke through the Soviet defense line on the Latvian Russian border. What Stalin couldn't bear was that the Soviet army took the initiative to abandon Pskov and opened the door to Leningrad.

When he got the news, Stalin was very angry. He called marshal Voroshilov, the commander-in-chief of the northwest, and personally questioned him.

Comrade Stalin was angry and the consequences were serious.

Voroshinov knew that although he kept flattering Stalin, now Stalin did not need flatterers. He needed firm soldiers and excellent commanders.

Facing the phone, Voroshilov solemnly said: "Comrade Stalin, I know my duty, and I will spare no effort to fulfill the entrustment of the party and the people to me."

With the occupation of Pskov, Petersburg has been exposed. Voroshinov now knows that his fate is linked to Petersburg, and there must be no loss here.

When he put down the phone, he felt his back wet.

"Immediately mobilize all residents of Petersburg and build three lines of defense around Petersburg day and night. We want to keep German tanks out." Voroshinov looked at the map and said to the others.

Now, he must mobilize the masses, which has always been the practice of the Soviet Union. Now, it is still very cold outside, and the task of constructing fortifications is very arduous.

"On the outermost side, we take Luga city as the center, start from shimsk on the West Bank of irmen Lake in the south, lay out along the Luga River, and reach jinjishep, the mouth of the Luga River in the north. The Luga defense line has a total length of about 300 kilometers, and four infantry divisions and three militia divisions have been deployed on this defense line."

Voroshinov had some experience when he came out of the civil war. He looked at the map and his mind began to rotate rapidly.

Arrange three lines of defense, dig deep trenches, hinder the attack of German tanks, consume the effective strength of the Germans, and force the Germans to give up the attack on Petersburg. Now voroshinov's brain has entered the moment of full speed operation. In this way, time has passed little by little.

When he saw what his deputy wanted to say for the third time, voroshinov was finally impatient: "watukin, what do you want to say?"

Just when watukin wanted to say, he was stopped by voroshinov. Now he finally had a chance to speak and hurriedly said to voroshinov: "marshal, no, our Baltic Fleet was attacked by German bombers, and the fleet asked us for Fighter escort."

German bombers? They often come to Petersburg, too. What's terrible? These sailors are really weak. Voroshinov waved: "OK, send out the fighters of the last squadron to help them expel the bombers. Well, pay attention, not too much. We have to guard our Petersburg."

Watukin was relieved and hurried out to give orders, but just after he went out, he turned and came in again.

More than an hour has passed since the fighter was requested. Now, the situation at sea has undergone earth shaking changes, and watukin's face is pale.

Voroshinov was obviously aware of the special situation of his assistant. He had talked about the three lines of defense almost. Now he frowned: "watukin, are we here?"

"Marshal, our Baltic Fleet is over." Watukin's words shocked the whole audience.

finished? what do you mean?

"Two battleships, the Mara and the October Revolution, have been sunk, and the other battleships are under the attack of German artillery. They can't hold on."

In voroshinov's plan, the Baltic Fleet was still useful. They could use their own guns to support defensive campaigns on the ground. Now, these warships have sunk.

If Stalin knew the news, he would be even more angry.

Voroshinov's face turned pale and his hands began to tremble involuntarily: "take off the fighter, take off the fighter immediately and help the Baltic Fleet. Save our warships. "

"Watukin, you bastard, why didn't you report earlier?"

Voroshinov's words had just finished. Suddenly, a whistling air defense alarm sounded over the whole city.

damn!

The German air raid actually came again. All fighters need to take off to meet the enemy. The Germans often form a large fleet of dozens of aircraft to bomb. Their fighter force has always been short of money.

Can you still help the Baltic Fleet?

At this time, voroshinov's heart had sunk to the bottom of the valley. He actually forgot to ask the important point: where was the Baltic Fleet attacked?

Kronstad, it's the west gate of Petersburg!

Those sunk warships were blocked in the channel, and the sea passage of Petersburg was completely blocked. If necessary, the German Navy could even use their large caliber naval guns to hit grenades directly from kronstad to Petersburg.
