Chapter 181: Big ship cannon

Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
Compared with the Army and Air Force, the German Navy has always been in a very awkward position. On the one hand, they are valued by the heads of state, but on the one hand, they embark on a development path that they do not even believe in themselves.
On September 13th, just after the war began, the German navy's headquarters became a mess. Compared with the Army's expectations of war; the Air Force's confidence in the future; the inferiority of the German Navy, which was buried deep in the bone marrow under the shadow of the Royal Navy, made them full of fear of the upcoming war.
"We strongly recommend that the head of state start a war next year, but the army and air force have made the head of state make an unwise choice." Riddle looked at the complex navy-specific drawings to the commander of the navy submarine force, Dunnitz Complained.
Dunnitz sighed helplessly. He worked overtime to supervise the manufacturing of submarines and produced submarine forces madly. He hoped that the German Navy could restore the size of the submarine forces of the past, but the sudden war still disrupted his steps.
He glanced at the map, pointed to the North Sea and said: "I suggest that surface ship formations go to sea immediately! We can't let the British Navy jam in the military port, because the aircraft carrier is even more dangerous."
Redell frowned and said, "Do you think I don't want to go out? The two new aircraft carriers are perching. If I don't wait for the two aircraft carriers to join the combat forces, I have no strength to face the British Royal Navy at sea! Do I let my fleet Go out and die? "
"I have deployed forty submarines and formed ten search formations to provide you with intelligence investigation in the North Sea." Dunnitz said: "We can't beat the British Royal Navy, but we avoid the British main fleet on the sea. , You can still give it a try. "
"Sometimes I really envy your submarine troops." Rydell glanced at Dunnitz and followed with a sigh. "Ah ... I can't beat it, just dive into the water."
"It's useless to complain!" Dunnitz smiled. "Notify the fleet to leave! Work with the British for a month, and you will have additional strength!"
"What about the Danzig Corridor?" Redell said: "In the planned plan, the Navy must support the combat operations in the coastal area of ​​the Danzig Corridor. We have sent some troops to go, can we do it?"
"The head of state will understand us!" Dunnitz clicked a map and said: "In order not to allow the British team to cut off the import of Swedish iron ore, our main fleet must maintain deterrence. So we cannot allocate more troops to participate in what Cover action. "
"Well! Then I will send a telegram to the squadron!" Redell nodded and said: "Order them to cover the army to start the operation! Always do some superficial articles to block the mouths of those who play tricks."
"When I led the naval fleet, the base was under your command!" Redell stood up and said: "I will take the fleet to avoid the British navy fleet based on intelligence, hoping to sail for the first time in a state of war, will not What is wrong? "
"It should not be." Dunnitz said: "Although our navy lacks training and combat readiness, should there be no problem running away under the cover of aviation?"
Dunnitz looked at Redel and then remembered what the head of state said to him: Do n’t underestimate the Royal Navy, it is a truly global naval deployment, with absolute quality and quantity advantages, if you can avoid the previous The decisive battle, leaving enough space for the German navy to develop, looking for opportunities to surpass and defeat it in one fell swoop is the best strategy.
"Follow the instructions of the head of state." After thinking about it, Dunnitz said to Redel: "Send naval aviation to investigate the surroundings, and if they encounter a single British ship, they will eat them! If there is a Royal Navy fleet, then retreat!"
"Fight the sea to fight!" He pointed to the North Sea and said: "It can't be mixed here! Just retreat back to the combat radius of the shore-based aviation! Catherine and Dick will definitely not watch the Navy suffer!"
"General! The naval fleet has assembled outside the port." The adjutant came over and reported: "We should start! The aircraft carrier Bismarck has set sail and the Zeppelin will leave the port 15 minutes later."
"You can rest assured! I am not asking for merit, but I am asking for nothing! I have all the German navy in my hands, and I won't be easily buried!" Raidel signaled the adjutant to go with him, while solemnly speaking with Denny Ci said: "It's on your side, which is more worrying! The head of state doesn't seem to pay much attention to the international law's agreement on submarine warfare. You should persuade him more to avoid stimulating the United States."
After talking, he went out.
On the afternoon of September 13, 1937, two hours after France declared war on Germany, 14 warships of the German Navy ’s high seas fleet, including two aircraft carriers, left the military port and sailed into the icy North Sea.
"Long live the head of state! Report to the captain! Call from the headquarters!" A first officer walked in front of the captain of the German navy destroyer with a big white brim hat, stood up to salute, and handed the message to the captain.
The captain received the message, glanced down at it, and immediately ordered: "All the artillery is prepared! Raise the combat flag! Aim at the Polish coast! Speed ​​up!"
"Captain, according to the information obtained from the transport fleet a few days ago, the Poles installed new mines in the nearby waters ... Isn't it, shouldn't you accelerate first?" The first officer froze for a moment, then asked.
"What you said makes sense, then don't accelerate first, move slowly along the coast, pay attention to adjusting the course, and don't enter the Polish shore defense artillery fire range." The captain nodded.
This is a German navy task force with only three warships, and a cruiser with two destroyers, deployed as a support to coastal operations in the Danzig Corridor, and was deployed offshore Poland. However, according to the current status of the German Navy, if the aircraft carrier is not used as support, the remaining warships seem to be difficult to adapt to this traditional naval role.
Because in traditional naval roles, ground support is given to battleships with large-caliber naval guns or heavy cruisers, those giant cannons with a caliber of 381 mm and a caliber of 280 mm can certainly face the enemy ’s shore calmly Fortified fortifications.
However, in addition to the aircraft carrier, the German Navy now has light cruisers and destroyers. These two small ships are only equipped with anti-aircraft weapons-based high-level dual-purpose guns. The largest caliber is only 150 mm, and most of them are only 88. Millimeter gun-This caliber is too small for the shore defense artillery, so Redl could have moved out at least 10 warships, but only sent three pitiful ships.
The original caliber of the artillery is not dominant. If the warship wants to attack the shore defense artillery, it can only rely on speed and evasion to fight sports. You can use high-speed zigzag positioning to avoid your own losses (of course this is not a very reliable method, and It also affects the accuracy of its own artillery attack), but the Poles installed mines in the nearby waters to cooperate with the shore defense artillery to defend, which caused a very troublesome trouble for the German fleet.
"Let's fire! Attack the port facility!" Seeing the fleet command flag hung on the cruiser, and informing the two destroyers with light words, all the guns of the destroyer driving in the front were pointed to the starboard side, and the captain took a deep breath. Ordered in one breath.
"Boom!" The 88-mm gun fired flames. Five 88-mm single-barrel guns on a destroyer, two of which were 10, combined with three 150-mm single-barrel guns on the cruiser and 13 artillery volleys. The scene still looks very grand.
The opposite side is very quiet. The black smoke rising from the shell hitting the target can be observed with a telescope, but the counterattack of the shore fire cannon has not yet arrived. So the three warships got closer and closer to the coast according to their own routes.
"It's still hoped that the Poles will not fight back." The captain lowered his telescope and muttered in his mouth. He obviously had a certain confusion about doing this kind of unsuitable job for his battleship. If he let his warship go to air defense, he would feel more relaxed.
The Poles obviously did n’t want his ideas to come true. Soon, several columns of water were splashing around the battleship, and the whole battleship was shaken with a huge explosion. In the fortifications near the port, Poland The caliber shore defense artillery started to counterattack. From the point of view of a near-missile attack, the quality of the defending army was obviously very high.
"The enemy's artillery fired!" Observed the sailor's loud report: "Nearly missed!"
"Accelerate evasion!" The captain couldn't breathe because he was young: "Avoid voyage immediately! If the hull is hit by such a large-caliber shell, it will be completely over."
"Send a signal to the command ship! Let them get out of the water channel immediately! The enemy artillery is very fierce! Not suitable for destroyer attacks like ours!" The captain added after thinking about it: "We also find a chance to leave."
"Left full rudder! Heading north!" The adjutant issued a command from the captain aloud: "Tail the artillery to keep firing! Observe the sailors! Please pay attention to the water! Avoid mines!"
"Attention! The enemy's artillery fired!" The observation sailor reported again: "Nearly missing bullet!"
"Captain! The command ship sent a signal! They have begun to break away, and wish us good luck." The first officer glanced at the telegram report delivered by the communications soldier. Probably because of the anti-artillery attack on the Polish shore, from the beginning just now, the slogans and lanterns on the flagship have become a mess, and the message has to be notified by the slowest message.
"Suspected mines ahead!" A watched sailor reported loudly.
"Slow down! The engine reverses!" The captain replied loudly, "Which side?"
"Starboard direction!" The sailor replied loudly: "Can be avoided!"
"Continue to fill the rudder!" The captain ordered.
The speed of the ship slowed down suddenly, and it seemed that the powerhouse had started to reverse. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that they had avoided the mine.
"Cannonball!" The observation sailor shouted loudly.
The hull shuddered with this shout, and a loud explosion followed. In the process of shaking, the captain's final consciousness was clearly printed in his mind: finished! Hit by a shell!
