Chapter 1170: It's foolish to pin national defense on others

The destroyer whose bow was flooded could have been saved. At this time, the sailors were carrying out damage control and wanted to try their best to save the warship, but they did not expect that a 380 mm shell would fall from the sky.
A destroyer of more than 3,000 tons could not stand such a blow. The deck that was hit immediately collapsed and the deck was torn apart. Then, under the deck, the terrible explosion sounded.
The explosion caused the side of the ship's hull and opened a larger hole. Like the fate of the Mara, the destroyer began to flood and sink quickly.
"Long shot, the gauge is reduced by five hundred, four gates are shot in parallel, two rounds of shooting." Following the command of the gunner, a more terrible roar came.
On the two turrets, four 380 mm naval guns roared, and black smoke rose from the muzzle, like a demon in hell.
The shooting of battleships is always the most exciting.
It's just that the protagonist of the shelling is not the "Scharnhorst", but the "Strasbourg" that is two nautical miles away from it.
This is a French battleship, and it has gone through vicissitudes of life in recent years.
The former ally, the United Kingdom, attacked it. After that, it retaliated against the United Kingdom and shelled Gibraltar. Before, it had been swaying in the Mediterranean Sea. This time it joined the German fleet and came to the Baltic Sea with it.
Although in terms of sovereignty, this French warship belongs to Vichy France and does not accept German orders, but everyone can see the current general trend that Germany is about to rule the world. Therefore, there seems to be nothing wrong with fighting with Germany, not to mention the enemy is the red regime that they hate.
In terms of the caliber of the cannon, the Strasbourg has a 330 mm caliber, which is an order of magnitude smaller than the 380 caliber, but its turret layout is different.
Unlike other battleships that have turrets on the front and back, the turrets of this battleship are all in the front, and the two quadruple turrets occupy almost the first half of the deck.
There is no turret behind it, which made it suffer from the last British attack, but now, it can use all its firepower while sailing forward.
"Boom, boom!" The sound of the guns was so constant that people couldn't tell them at all. Eight naval guns fired together. This kind of sight is the most spectacular.
The fireball shot from the muzzle of the entire sea was shining red. It seemed that the warship was rushing into a sea of ​​flames. Following that, the terrible black smoke enveloped the entire warship, and the huge hull of tens of thousands of tons, When firing, he was recoiled back more than one meter abruptly.
The shells were fired at the Soviet fleet on the opposite side.
On the Kirov cruiser, Captain Aleksandrov had only time to open his eyes, his brain was empty, because they had no countermeasures.
The main guns equipped on the Kirov are three triple-mounted B-1-P 180mm naval guns. The maximum effective range of this naval gun is less than 20 kilometers, and they simply cannot reach the opposite German fleet.
However, the German battleships were able to easily throw their large-caliber armor-piercing projectiles, just like just now. A Tashkent-class destroyer was sunk with one shot. It was just like that.
But now, the smoke rising on the sea in the distance seemed to herald something, a new round of terrible shelling had arrived.
It was impossible to catch the shells at almost three times the speed of sound with the naked eye, and they couldn't hear the roar of the shells when they were fired, but they could clearly hear the neighing of the shells breaking through the air, the scream of death.
"Boom, boom, boom!" At this moment, behind them, the shore defense artillery finally opened fire.
Just as the shore defense artillery shell flew past, that terrible shell also flew towards the Soviet fleet.
A huge 380mm shell hit the back armor of the Kirov, the armor of several tens of millimeters was torn apart, and the shell exploded terribly inside.
Then, the second shell hit the bridge again. When the shell flew, everyone opened their eyes wide.
"boom!"
The entire bridge was exploded, and a huge air current hit, Alexandrov felt like a light leaf, being lifted into the air, and then he knew nothing.
Kirov was hit by a naval gun. The battleship was sunk in an instant, and the cruiser Gorky, which was less than one nautical mile away, was also patronized by 330 mm shells. As soon as the gun rain came down, this The latest warship sank unwillingly.
The main force of the Baltic Fleet is gone.
There are only 3,000-ton destroyers and more than 1,000-ton frigates. Now, the coastal defense guns have finally launched, and huge shells are projected toward the German warships. Unfortunately, they are still one nautical mile away from the German warships. It fell into the sea.
"Damn, we were fooled, these Germans!" Inside a 305mm coastal defense gun that still survived ~EbookFREE.me~ the commander cursed loudly: "The Germans fooled us!"
A few years ago, during the friendly and mutual assistance between the two sides, some Krupp experts came to Kronstadt, and according to the agreement reached by the two sides, they carried out medium-term life extension improvements for these coastal defense guns.
They cleaned up the rust in the barrel and applied a layer of anti-wear agent, which is said to improve the performance and life of shore defense guns. At the same time, because of changes in the barrel, the gauge has changed. A new artillery shooting table.
At that time, after the improvement was completed, they also conducted a test firing. According to the firing table given by the Germans, they achieved good accuracy.
But now it seems that it is obviously not the case, they were cheated by the Germans.
"Target, 18 nautical miles ahead, 305mm coastal defense gun, the first test fire." At this time, after killing the Kirov cruiser, Alexandrov began to look at the distant coastal defense. Artillery position, now, let the Soviets taste the power of German artillery!
It is quite stupid to trust one's own country's national defense on other countries. After those shore defense guns have been improved, they can only guarantee the accuracy at that time. Over time, the internal anti-wear agent will damage the rifling. , Let the shells deviate from the expected target.
Moreover, this type of cannon has a limited lifespan. When the Soviets tested the gun, it was enough to test fire once, and it was impossible to fire a few shots every year. So, until now, they discovered that the coastal defense artillery has been abandoned, right?
As long as you get rid of the large-caliber coastal defense guns, the rest of your own warships can approach and sink those remaining warships with your own guns.
The well-trained gunner, within one minute, completed the reload, target, and coastal defense gun! ()
