Chapter 554 Naval Artillery Bombardment of the Port (Plus 15)

The 406mm naval gun, using the strong charge mode, can fire grenades that can hit 50 kilometers away!

At this distance, the gunner of the naval gun has no effect, because he can't see the opposite side and can't aim.

On land, you can aim and shoot with pre-determined shots, but now, you need a seaplane!

The AR196 water reconnaissance aircraft can not only help warships to detect the water surface in advance, determine whether the nearby waters are safe, and detect enemy warships in advance, it also has a task, that is, artillery calibration!

For example, now, it wants to guide its own naval guns to attack a French army barracks in the port!

At this time, in the back seat of the water reconnaissance plane, the observer Ike was busy busy, and there was an aeronautical chart in front of him. , constantly looking down.

"Direction 091, elevation angle 31 degrees 43 minutes 2 seconds, request a test shot." Ike shouted over the radio.

Even if he calculated accurately in advance, he could not let his warships hit all at once, so let's test fire one first.

"Boom!" With his call, the Bismarck on this side, the central naval guns in the bow, opened fire suddenly. On the muzzle, a huge grenade flew out in a flame enveloped.

Ike stared closely at the trajectory of the grenade, watching the grenade pass through the sky, the end of a graceful arc pointing to the target military camp.

"Boom!" Almost a minute later, the shell, which was flying at a speed of 820 meters per second, landed with a bang, and a huge pit was blown out on the ground.

"The orientation is correct, it is still one kilometer away from the target, raise the elevation angle by 1 degree and 2 minutes. All naval guns fire in salvo." Ike continued to shout.

This shot gave him a great confidence, and next time, he will definitely hit all of them!

"Boom, boom!" This time, the salvo of nine naval guns roared across the sea, as if even the sea was trembling. Black smoke enveloped the entire battleship, and nine 406mm high-explosive grenades flew into the air. to the opposite army camp.

At this time, there was already a panic in the military camp.

When they found the shells flying from the opposite side, they subconsciously fell down, but in this way, they can only die faster!

"Boom!" A 406mm grenade accurately hit the barracks. When the grenade exploded on the ground, it directly exploded a large pit several meters deep, and the explosion shook the ground violently.

The soldier who was posted on the ground felt that his chest was slapped fiercely in an instant, as if his belly was in contact with the water surface when diving, no, it was even more powerful!

His stomach was churning, and then, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and his internal organs had been injured by shock.

The 406mm high-explosive grenade, each landing, brings the feeling of the end of the world. You must know that each shell weighs more than one ton!

What does it feel like to hit the ground with a ton of warheads?

And a salvo is nine such warheads!

A shell hit a three-story building. Almost instantly, the building collapsed. Before it exploded, it was directly smashed by the kinetic energy of the collision. Then, in the loud explosion, The whole small building was torn apart!

This is the power of large-caliber naval guns. Historically, Hitler has always been keen on super cannons. This is the reason. The power of such cannons is maddening. It can be said that if the Maginot line of defense is close to the sea, 406 mm naval guns will still be the same. If you can blow up the Maginot line, you can attack from the front, and there is no need to carefully arrange other plans to attack France.

When a 406mm naval gun fired a salvo, the barracks here turned into ruins and lost the value of existence!

On the reconnaissance plane in the sky, the observer Ike continued to contact by radio: "Turn to the right for 1 degree, 13 minutes and 6 seconds, raise the elevation angle by 3 points, target, the coastal defense near the barracks."

Following his call, the naval guns on the battleship Bismarck slowly turned their angle, and then a new salvo started again, accurately blasting the coastal fortifications here to rubble.

In addition to the Bismarck, other warships above the 10,000-ton class also poured their firepower towards the shore.

In war, people always die.

The whole of Brest was crowded with people preparing to flee, and now, German artillery fire inevitably hurt some civilians.

If they don't stay at home, waiting to accept the leadership of the great Germany, they only know that it is their own life to run around like this, get injured, or be bombed to death.

A huge role of the battleship is to use its own guns to attack the other side!

After this operation, Germany hyped up the outstanding contribution of the battleships in this landing operation. The carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier are far less efficient than the battleships. the key.

Moreover, Germany has publicized its own series of battleship construction plans, and even more than 80,000 tons and plans to use 800mm naval guns.

These are of course fooling the Western world, especially the US military.

While constantly promoting the advantages of battleships, Germany began to build a large number of aircraft carriers, using the acquired French industry, to increase the construction of aircraft carriers, and to start several aircraft carriers at the same time.

Of course, that's all for later.

Now, various warships are pouring their own artillery fire, and in the naval base on the shore, the base commander is very frightened. Hearing the screams outside, he makes contact with the suburbs of Brest. After all, there is the chief of the general staff of the entire navy there, and in this case, only the chief of the naval general staff can command.

The port of Brest was bombed by the German fleet. The German battleships approached the shore and continued to shell the port!

When he received the news, Darlan had realized that the situation was not good. He had come down from the front and returned to his command.

In the morning, the Germans just dispatched bombers to bomb the military facilities in Brest, which Darlan can accept. After all, they carried out airborne operations here, and their bombing was to relieve those airborne troops. pressure.

Therefore, Darlan did not care about the bombing of the Germans. He only needed to concentrate on strangling the landing German paratroopers.

But now, the Germans have even come up with battleships, which is very bad.

This shows that the Germans have new plans!

Is it? Darlan thought of a possibility, and immediately denied it in his heart, impossible, impossible, how could these Germans make such an action?

"Report, the 48th Division was ordered to come to support." At this moment, a voice sounded outside.
