Chapter 541: German purpose

This is not a Tomahawk missile of later generations. It is said to hit the left window and never hit the right window. The accuracy of the error is calculated in meters.
In this era, naval guns can hit the target with only a mechanical shooting commander. In order not to damage the main structure of the opponent’s hull, their elevation angles are quite high and they will never hit the ship. Physically.
Either it hits the bridge or it is a long shot.
Undoubtedly, most of the shells were shot, but there was still one hit!
This 283 mm armor-piercing projectile just hit the chimney in the middle of the bridge!
Whether you use a coal-fired boiler or a heavy oil boiler, you need a thick chimney. When you speed up, you can see the black smoke that comes out more than ten kilometers away.
Even some cruise ships will deliberately build some tall windows to form the unique beauty of this era.
The steel warhead at the front end of the armor-piercing projectile directly penetrated the weak steel plate of the chimney, followed by a violent explosion of 5 kg of explosives in the 5 kg copper cylinder.
"Boom!" A huge explosion sounded. With this explosion, shrapnel flew all around, and the high pressure generated by the explosion directly tore the chimney completely!
The chimney is integrated with the bridge. When the chimney is burst, it means that the bridge has also been exploded!
As the explosion sounded, several sailors screamed and fell in the cabin of the bridge next to the chimney.
At the same time, when the chimney is exploded, the smoke in the chimney no longer rises along the chimney, but goes in all directions!
When the entire thick smoke enveloped the bridge, a panic began to spread in the hearts of the French sailors.
The bridge is over, the senior commanders are over, what should the remaining sailors do?
The deck operation stopped again. In fact, in their hearts, they had thought of it a long time ago. Now that the carrier-based aircraft is released, it is useless! At this distance, naval guns are important.
"What are you panicking? Continue to cheer me up, we haven't lost yet!" General Labode shouted loudly on the bridge.
The black smoke filled people and people coughed involuntarily, but there was no pain in their bodies, which meant that they were still alive.
At this time, General Labode is still very calm, as a veteran, he will not leave his post at this time!
Haven't lost yet!
Labold's confidence infected everyone, and Captain Geraly also shouted: "Control damage, report quickly, carrier-based aircraft, continue to take off!"
Continue to release the carrier aircraft! Let the Germans know how good they are!
The broadcasting system was still intact, and Colonel Gerardi's orders spread throughout the ship, and they were now ready to continue fighting.
However, the Germans will not give them a chance!
The shame of the Treaty of Versailles is imprinted in the minds of every German. They have been in rigorous training. They moved very quickly. Almost immediately after the first salvo was completed, they quickly carried out the second time. Loading.
Each gun requires 12 people to operate it.
A transporter moved the front-end ammunition to the lifter, while the main ammunition was transported using slides and tackles. (The large-caliber naval guns are all separately loaded, and the warhead and the cartridge are two parts.)
The left cannon lifter sends the shells between the left and middle cannons, and the other two lifters send the shells between the middle and right cannons. . The auxiliary lifter of the medium artillery sends ammunition to the back of the medium artillery through a tiltable tube into the barrel. The auxiliary lifter of two wings sends the ammunition to the rear side of the two artillery, and transports the ammunition through a hoisting cable device.
All this proceeded quite quickly. It only took ten seconds to complete the second reloading. After that, the muzzle began to rise and stabilized according to the angle set by the gunner.
"fire!"
After receiving the signal that the reloading is complete and the aiming is complete, Colonel Lansdorf ordered another fire without hesitation!
In the fierce roar, the black smoke of the propellant burning enveloped the entire battleship Earl Spey, and the second salvo of nine armor-piercing shells flew to the opposite side!
The advantage of the aircraft carrier lies in the long-range strikes of the carrier-based aircraft. The aircraft carrier is definitely not bayonet at sea. In this situation, the German warships are simply fighting against each other!
On the bridge, the senior officers of the French Navy were still struggling in the black smoke. They blocked the blast hole at the back. The smoke on the bridge decreased slightly, almost visible just now. At the same time, the opponent's second salvo of shells flew.
"Wow!" The glass on the bridge suddenly shattered, and almost everyone's pupils were widened. Looking at the huge armor-piercing projectile, it almost flew by wiping the side of your own bridge!
I'm afraid it's only a few centimeters away! When the warhead flew by, the air pressure brought, immediately shattered all the glass!
Fortunately, there was no hit!
Labode's face turned pale instantly, and he had already thought of the other party's purpose.
The opponent fired all long shots. It was definitely not the opponent's aiming problem, but the opponent did it deliberately!
The Germans do not want to sink their own warship~EbookFREE.me~ just want to capture their own intact, that is to say, the other side already knows the secrets of this warship of their own!
How to do?
The opponent has been firing at one's own bridge. If the bridge is destroyed, the aircraft carrier will lose its maneuverability, at least the steering gear will not be able to operate.
This was the idea that the Germans made. As long as the bridge is destroyed, there will be no second way besides being captured, but this is absolutely impossible.
Even if the ship sinks, it can't make the Germans cheap.
"Gerary, I order you, when necessary, to open the bottom water gate and let our warship sink." General Labaud said.
As a naval officer, warships are the sustenance of his life. When facing the risk of being captured, he would rather sink himself than make the opponent cheap. This is almost the practice of many naval officers and soldiers. The most unrestrained way is World War I. The German Navy at the end was called a beautiful one.
And now, they must do the same!
Colonel Gerardi nodded: "Understood, General."
Jerary knew the value of the goods they transported. They would rather sink themselves than be captured by the Germans. Now they are determined to die.
At this time, on the deck, the second carrier-based aircraft was already preparing to take off. It sank. It was only the worst plan. They still have hope!
The personnel on the deck are still busy nervously. At this time, the third salvo of the Germans began again!
How fast is the rate of fire of the German naval gun? Three to five rounds per minute is absolutely no problem!
"Boom!" With a fierce murderous intent, the 283 mm artillery shell flying at a speed of 890 meters per second is about to make the most deadly blow to a French warship! Mobile users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
