In order to maintain the replenishment of the army, the Soviet army could only continuously transfer personnel from the navy to supplement the army, which was experiencing increasing casualties. Later, it was almost an organic transfer of personnel from the navy. Not only did the coastal defense artillery and marines start, but later they even began to recruit naval forces in addition to submarine soldiers.
In the end, even the submarine force, which has always been considered extremely valuable, was also redeployed. Under such circumstances, if the navy is to still have combat effectiveness, it can only be filled by Chinese comrades who take the initiative to fight. There was no way. During the southern front operations and the defense of Leningrad, support for naval ships was still quite needed. Although the navy was a supporting role in the entire battlefield, it was completely unable to dispatch. This was something the Soviets absolutely could not allow.
Under this situation, not only did the Chinese take over an increasing number of ships, but the tasks they took over were mainly coastal defense artillery and small patrol ships. Later, anti-union personnel were serving on large and medium-sized ships. , when the war against Germany came to an end, on some ships, except for the captain and department heads who were Soviet, all the deputies and crew members of the department were replaced by Anti-Union personnel.
But in the Far East, it was not until the end of 1944, after the Japanese large ships had lost their embers and there was no longer any possibility of threatening the east coast of the Soviet Union, that the Soviet Union agreed to the entry of anti-Union personnel. Because too many sailors were deployed, the Pacific Ocean was almost paralyzed. The fleet took over the ships and was responsible for daily patrols and security along the coasts of the Sea of Japan and the Sea of Okhotsk, as well as escorting the US military transport fleet.
What the Soviets didn't expect was that their decision, which they thought was a win-win situation, almost sent the entire navy into the hands of Yang Zhen. Although the Soviets didn't want to have any military conflict with the Japanese before the war on the Western Front ended, It was prudent to add half of the fuel to all ships, and the captains and all departments were all Soviets. The ships were only equipped with the most basic amount of ammunition such as shells and fish.
But on the first day when Japan announced its surrender, all personnel serving in the Soviet Navy in the entire Anti-Japanese Alliance, except for those in the Northern Fleet who had difficulty transferring due to location issues, were excused by the Anti-Japanese Alliance to be transferred back to the country in advance or to serve in the Pacific Fleet. , all the anti-alliance personnel in the Baltic Fleet and Pacific Fleet took action at the same time, taking the Soviet captain and department chief into custody, and fled collectively in the warships given to them by the Soviets.
After the arduous defense of Leningrad, the officers and soldiers of the Soviet Baltic Fleet abducted the few remaining main ships of the Baltic Fleet, plus the best-performing cruiser and five ships transferred from the Northern Fleet. American aid frigate.
In addition to the two cruisers of the Baltic Fleet itself, three destroyer leaders, five destroyers, seven frigates assisted by the Americans, seven minesweepers given by the British and five American-made submarine hunters, there are of course 17 more In addition to the torpedo boats towed behind the large ships, there were five submarines.
The Baltic Fleet's only remaining shallow-water heavy artillery ship during the war, three large tank landing ships, two mechanized landing ships, three tugboats and a repair ship aided by the Americans, and the only submarine supply ship also At the same time, he was abducted from the Danzig base in Poland.
After these ships left the Tallinn base and the Danzig base in Poland, which were moved forward by the Baltic Fleet for the major counterattack, under the command of Li Mingfeng, who had changed careers after studying in the Soviet Union, they rushed westward at maximum speed with only a world map, and in the Soviet Union Before anyone could react, they followed the route from the Soviet Union to Britain cleared by the Americans who had ended the European War, and reached the German coast west of Denmark.
Afterwards, although the Baltic Fleet was dispatched in full force to recover these warships, the entire fleet was almost empty, except for a battleship, a cruiser and two destroyers that could not be moved due to various reasons. , the entire Baltic Fleet only had thirteen torpedo boats, six minesweepers, and some gunboats that could not sail far.
Except for the ships that cannot move, the Baltic Fleet, which had almost all the main ships of the entire fleet stolen by the Resistance Alliance, would not have the strength to pursue them even if they wanted to. If they wait for the Soviets to mobilize forces from the Northern Fleet to pursue them, I am afraid that the Resistance Alliance will all run away. Returned to China.
He ran all the way to the US controlled area. After refueling at a German naval base occupied by the US military, he did not make any stops. He ran along the Atlantic coast, the Strait of Gibraltar, the Mediterranean, and through the Suez Canal, successively in France, Italy, India, the United States and the United Kingdom. After refueling at the naval base, they took advantage of Japan's surrender and safely sailed into Port Arthur, which had been recaptured by the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
When passing through Southeast Asia and the coast of mainland China, these ships used the sufficient and even over-staffed manpower on the ship to land at various Japanese ports along the way. Anyway, as long as there were Japanese warships stationed in the area, as long as the main force of the US and British troops did not arrive. , here comes one who strikes first and grabs all the way.
In addition to the supplies stored by the Japanese Navy in these places, all large and medium-sized Japanese Navy ships stationed in Indonesia, Thailand, and Singapore, plus more than a dozen coastal defense ships, and some auxiliary ships, took advantage of Japan's unconditional surrender and the fact that the main forces of the United States and Britain have not yet arrived. When there was time to land, after seizing it by force, he used the Japanese naval oil depot to refuel his own ship and brought it back with him.
Of course, the Japanese stationed in these places were naturally unwilling to hand over these ships to the Anti-Alliance. However, after the Japanese at various naval bases expressed their refusal, the artillery fire from the Anti-Alliance ships fell on their heads without hesitation. On top of that, they weren’t even given time to think about it.
For the Japanese officers and soldiers who dared to resist during the forced reception, the Anti-Japanese Alliance reception troops did not hesitate to suppress them. Under the threat of the muzzle, the country was gone. These Japanese had long lost their previous arrogance and simply protested. After that, they reluctantly handed over the ships and supplies.
At this time, the remaining ships of the Japanese Navy's southward fleet, under the threat of US military aircraft, have basically withdrawn to ports such as Singapore, Saigon in Vietnam, and Surabaya in Indonesia, especially those located where the US and British aviation forces are less threatened. Because Singapore has complete maintenance equipment, most of the remaining ships of Japan's southward fleet are concentrated here. Most of the ships that were damaged in the battle and cannot be withdrawn from the country are repaired here.
The two remaining heavy cruisers, one light cruiser and three destroyers repaired in Singapore by the Japanese southward fleet were all towed away, especially the two heavy cruisers requested by the headquarters, although they have not been repaired due to battle injuries. OK, it can't be driven, but it can be towed without any problems.
The remaining five destroyers, coastal defense ships, gunboats, torpedo boats, gunboats, repair ships, oil tankers, transport ships, and even tugboats and civilian merchant ships scattered across Southeast Asia can be towed away, and those that cannot be towed away. The equipment and all available parts were dismantled, and all the local naval technicians were taken away. The large number of torpedoes, artillery shells and other materials stored by the Japanese army in these places were taken away if they could be taken away, and all those that could not be taken away were blown up.
After the British troops arrived from Ceylon and India, nothing was left of these Japanese naval ships and supplies except more than a hundred dilapidated aircraft. Even the British captured after the fall of Hong Kong Several patrol boats and gunboats were also looted.
At the same time as the theft of Soviet warships in the Baltic Sea, the Soviet Pacific Fleet also had the same incident in the Baltic Sea, which was thousands of miles away from itself. And because it was close to China, it was easier, although the fuel was still not filled up. , there is no usable naval base in the middle, but the voyage here is much closer to China. What's more, the amount of fuel given by the Soviets is not enough to drive back home, but reaching Japan is not a problem.
After the end of the war in Europe, facing Japan, which was already declining and just surviving, the Soviets' control over the Allied naval personnel in the Soviet Union decreased significantly. Although the ships were not refueled, they could not reach the Japanese mainland. As for the question of whether they could return to Japan after arriving in Japan, the Anti-Japanese Alliance never considered it at all.
While the Baltic Fleet took action, the anti-alliance officers and soldiers deployed in the Soviet Pacific Fleet also took action at the same time. After imprisoning the Soviet captain and department chief, they drove a considerable number of ships in the Soviet Pacific Fleet without even saying hello. Leaving the main base of the Soviet Pacific Fleet and sailing south at full speed.
Compared with the Baltic Fleet, which suffered huge losses, because the Soviets themselves did not deploy too many troops in the Pacific Fleet, the losses were much smaller. Only five destroyers, nine American-assisted frigates, and 11 were abducted. American and British minesweepers, as well as two submarines, plus seven torpedo boats and a gunboat.
Although the losses were much lighter than those of the Baltic Fleet, the number of these ships was equivalent to half of the strength of the Pacific Fleet, which originally had only a small number of ships. Ships above frigates accounted for 70%, and not only were the losses The six US-made mechanized landing ships equipped by the Pacific Fleet were all driven away by the anti-alliance personnel.
Facing the empty port after the Chinese left, the Soviet navy was on the verge of tears. They finally understood why these damn Chinese people had to learn the navy as their own country when the war situation in their own country was also tense. In the name of sharing difficulties, Soviet comrades sent a large number of students to the Soviet Union. This was fucking sharing of difficulties, and it was simply an open robbery.
At this time, the Soviet admiral who was still grateful for the free support of the Chinese people and Chinese comrades had turned into a damn Chinese because of his anger. You know, after the loss of these ships, not only the combat effectiveness of the Soviet Navy It has dropped by one-third, and countless people have lost their heads to appease the leader's anger.
The resistance officers and soldiers driving these ships not only abducted half of the main ships of the Pacific Fleet, but also took advantage of the fact that the U.S. military had not yet landed on the Japanese mainland, and landed at the two major naval bases of Kure Port and Sasebo on the Japanese mainland on their way back.
The remaining Japanese ships concentrated here will be towed away as long as they can be driven away, and those that cannot be driven away will also be towed away as long as they still have use value.
