Hibernate cascading: should setting to null on a parent delete children?

I wonder if Hib works as expected in my case?

My Cascading options are set to "all,delete-orphan".

Table_A @OneToOne Table_B

Table_B @OneToMany Table_C

Now it looks like Table_A . getTable_B . getTable_C_Collection()

Suppose there are elements in Table_C collection.

What I expect from Hibernate: if I set Table_B link to null, then

all Table_C collection elements MUST BE DELETED.

It does not happen. They become ORPHANED !
