The attack of the Northern Army Group almost went in a straight line, and their goal was quite clear, which was Petersburg.

After the war started, under the command of Marshal Bok, the 4th Armored Corps of Hepna was the middle route, the 18th Army of Qusiler was the left wing, and the 16th Army of Boucher was the right wing. With the support of the 1st Air Force, they attacked from Konisburg in East Prussia to the direction of the general direction of Daugovpielspskov Leningrad.

The 4th Armored Corps completely captured two bridges on the West Devina River outside the city of Taogavpils and occupied Taogavpils.

In this way, the loss of Taogavpils made the front line of Pskov-Leningrad completely exposed to the German army due to the loss of natural barriers.

What is even more speechless is that after the German army occupied Riga, the capital of Latvia, broke through the Soviet defense line on the Russian border in Latvia. The Soviet army was absolutely scared and actually abandoned Pskov. In this way, the door to Petersburg was opened.

(I wonder if you are tired of the description of the constant land war. Let’s write the attack of the Northern Legion a little simpler.)

At the same time, the Finnish army had driven the Soviet army out of its own national borders and began new war preparations, intending to launch a fierce attack on the northern fronts of the Soviet army in the direction of Petrozavodsk and Vyborg respectively.

In this way, Petersburg has become dangerous.

After Tribuz received the news of Pskov's occupation, he knew that the situation was already quite bad. The German ground troops were not even used in Estonia at all. They had already attacked the Soviet Union.

"We must return to Petersburg, use our naval guns to support the ground battles and attack the German tank troops." Tributz looked at the people present, and his words were full of unwillingness.

As the most powerful Baltic fleet, they are now unable to attack and attack the enemy. Instead, they are going to retreat to Petersburg, but he knows that he must do so.

Petersburg is of great commemorative significance to the Soviets.

The Soviet revolution began in Petersburg, and Petersburg was named after the great revolutionary pioneer. If this city was ravaged by the Germans, it would be a shame for the entire Soviet, and it would even be even more infuriating than the occupation of Moscow.

They want to defend their city.

As the commander of the fleet, he has the right to make such orders. At the same time, his orders will also report to Moscow. Radio waves were transmitted from Tallinn to Moscow, and at the same time, they also spread to all directions.

Like the Mediterranean, the Baltic Sea is almost an inland sea. Only through the straits between Denmark and Sweden can we communicate with the ocean outside. However, unlike the Mediterranean, it is difficult to be affected by the Atlantic warm currents, so the temperature of the entire Baltic Sea has always been very low, and even the outward channels will freeze when they are coldest.

The weather is not cold now, it is already spring, but on the sea, you will still occasionally see one or two pieces of ice floating by, which are floating from the cold Bay of Bodeniya.

At this time, in the Latvian waters, a fleet was sailing into the Baltic Sea, with the sea breeze blowing and the flags fluttering violently in the wind.

In front of this fleet are the "Scharnhorst" and "Strasbourg". These two battleships lead a large dozen warships to form a huge formation. In their middle are three Goethe-class aircraft carriers.

Although Germany has built several Earl Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers, these aircraft carriers are not suitable for activities in the Baltic Sea, where the circumference space is too small, and these aircraft carriers are mainly dealing with Americans on the Atlantic Ocean and have not participated in these current operations.

The Goethe-class aircraft carrier is enough.

At this time, on the deck of the Goethe-class aircraft carrier, the carrier-based Stuka bomber was preparing for takeoff.

The German Navy's universal fighter is the f190. This aircraft is definitely a versatile player in the hands of the Navy. It can both fight air and attack land and ships, and can hang torpedoes and bombs. However, the production of this type of aircraft is limited after all.

With the rapid expansion of the German Navy, new aircraft cannot meet the needs at all times. Therefore, in the hands of the Navy, there are still a large number of Stuka bombers. In addition to giving part of the islanders, the German Navy is also using it itself.

For example, on the Goethe-class aircraft carrier, there are quite a few Stuka bombers.

Squadron leader Franz Stigler, carrying his flying cap, stood in the flight preparation room of the bridge. From here, you can clearly see the planes on the deck that have been prepared.

The windows were open, and the cold wind outside was pouring in. Although it was already spring, the Baltic Sea was still very cold.

"Our mission is to take off from our aircraft carrier and completely destroy the main warships of the Soviet Baltic Fleet." He said to his pilots.

"Are those Soviets finally willing to come out?" Hearing his words, the pilots below were eager to try.

These days, they have been very frustrated.

Because the air force's attack power was limited, the Soviet Baltic fleet was always preserved and the Soviet Navy was left to the German Navy for handling.

However, the Soviet Navy was sloppy.

Germany's air power is quite powerful. German planes attacked Scapa Bay and destroyed the British navy's feat in one fell swoop. It was simply a classic textbook battle example, and it was impossible for the Soviets not to worry about it.

So, the Soviets were shameless. After the battle started that day, they actually began to release thick smoke at the port. Yes, it was thick smoke. They burned the ragged rubber and other things at the pier, destroying the atmosphere and making the entire pier smoke roll.

Their warships were shrouded in this thick smoke, which gave the German pilots a great obstacle and prevented them from diving attacks.

They began to study the Baltic fleet of the Soviet Union a few months ago, and they had deduced simulated attacks many times, but they were troubled by their trick.

"Yes, the Soviet fleet is about to set sail," Franz said, and he just received the news: "We must be mentally prepared for takeoff now, and orders will be issued at any time."

"Are you here to attack us?" asked a pilot.

"No, they are planning to go back to Petersburg."

"Cut, turtle with its head! It's also a knife to shrink its head."

At this moment, an emergency whistle sounded on the entire aircraft carrier, and the order to take off had been issued!
Chapter completed!
