Chapter 641: First match after the Battle of Waterloo

Wait, Colonel Holland, still on the opposing warship!
Hearing the order from Lieutenant General Somerville, an assistant wanted to say, but then he didn't say anything.
It was no longer useful. Just as Lieutenant General Somerville gave the order, the foremost warship had already opened fire!
The USS Warrior, a Queen Elizabeth-class battleship, was completed in 1916. Like most other British battleships, it belongs to the Master-class battleship during the First World War.
It is also an old British feudal ship that participated in the Battle of Jutland. This year, it had just undergone a modernization.
Until now, it is the only remaining 30,000-ton battleship of the British Navy. There is no such battleship in the mainland, and it is only retained in the Mediterranean fleet.
It has done all the preparations, and when the order is given, it will start its own shooting.
As a large battleship, it has 8 twin-mounted 15-inch/42-caliber MKⅠ main guns. At this time, it turned to its own side, just enough to make the bow and stern guns all aim at the past. .
When the naval gun fired, thick smoke enveloped the entire battleship. In the huge black smoke, the 381mm armor-piercing projectile flew to the opposite side!
Since the Battle of Waterloo, Britain and France have never fought again. This is the first time Britain fired on French troops after the battle!
With a fierce whistling, eight armor-piercing shells flew to the other side of the breakwater. The main force of the French fleet stopped here!
Along the jetty from northwest to southeast of the port, the "Dunkirk", "Brittany", "Strasbourg", "Provence" and "Commander Tuster" docked at the seawall. Official" number.
These battlecruisers and old-fashioned battleships are sternly leaning against the breakwater. Among them, the most deadly are the "Dunkirk" and the "Strasbourg", these two French newest and most combative ships. The battlecruiser is only being beaten now, not fighting back.
This kind of French warship, I don't know what the designer thinks, maybe the brain was kicked by a donkey. They used a 330mm heavy gun. On this 30,000-ton warship, the caliber is definitely not big.
At the same time, the number is not large, there are only 8 doors. The most terrible thing is that this is composed of quadruple double turrets, which is absolutely special. It is rarely seen on other warships in World War II.
The two quadruple turrets are all in the front, that is to say, France's proudest battleship is not capable of attacking the rear.
Of course, the same cannot be said. There are some 130mm secondary guns behind, but it is a pity that such secondary guns are useless in this kind of naval battle.
The stern of the ship is leaning against the Baptist, and the distance from the Baptist is the British warship. In this way, they are equivalent to the British warship. They cannot use the bow main gun, that is, they have no ability to fight back!
In addition to their side, on the other side of the port, destroyers are docked, and on the shore, there are coastal battery turrets equipped with 6.1-inch, 7.6-inch and 9.4-inch shore guns. There are also 52 fighter jets in the nearby airport, and Oran not far away has 10 small destroyers, several submarines and 13 small ships of various kinds.
When the British ship shelled, the entire French fleet broke out in utter anger.
"Boom!" The huge armor-piercing projectile hit the anti-wave board, and the concrete-made anti-wave board was instantly exploded into a large hole of more than ten meters.
The first salvo of the British naval guns missed at all. For them, it was difficult for them to aim at the French fleet behind Boti.
"Boom!" A huge explosion sounded on everyone's eardrums, causing General Suer to stand up and glance at Colonel Horan.
"There must be a misunderstanding in this. Give me a radio and I will contact the other person." Colonel Holland said. At this time, he was also confused. According to the original discussion method, he had to persuade him to surrender first. Now, he hasn't said anything yet, just do it here?
"Knock him to the bottom!" General Suer turned his head and didn't look at this old friend. Now, the battle has already begun! If his ship sinks, this guy must die!
"Order, fight now, fight now!" General Suer shouted loudly.
At this time, thick black smoke emerged from the chimneys of various warships, and the heavy oil boilers were successfully ignited. However, it takes at least half an hour to boil several tons of fresh water. During this time, Their battleship can't move at all!
The short and powerful ship bell began to ring, and at the same time, sharp sirens sounded from the shore.
The personnel on each battleship were actually woken up long ago, and now they quickly enter their combat positions.
Among them, the fastest response was the "Provence". This was an old ship from the First World War. The sailors on the warship were well-trained. They quickly climbed into the air defense artillery and were ready for battle.
This battleship uses 10 340 mm 45-diameter 1912-style main guns, installed in 5 double turrets. The fastest response is the No. 5 main turret and the No. 4 main turret. The personnel have begun to fire. Preparation.
They are also upside down, so the main gun at the stern can strike the enemy.
In the high above No. 4 main turret, the gunner began to make calculations. From here, Fang Boti still blocked his vision, so that he could only rely on the mast that appeared in his field of vision as the target. One minute later, he determined Various shooting Zhuyuan came out.
"Fire!"
According to his shooting Zhuyuan~EbookFREE.me~ two turrets and four 340mm naval guns made a loud noise.
Since firing at one's own side, it is the enemy, and one's own counterattack will be merciless!
The French Navy’s counterattack was fast enough. Unfortunately, the gunner at this time did not know that the mast in his field of vision was not from the British warship in the distance, but from the Dunkirk on his side. , This is simply a big oolong!
All his shots were wrong, and it was impossible to hit the target.
"Shoot the plane, hurry, take off the plane immediately!" At the same time, the captains on both sides were shouting loudly.
The British Warrior immediately suspended shooting when the first salvo did not work well. Now, they need to take off to check the firing plane, indicate the target position, and calibrate the trajectory!
As the naval guns fired, the two aircraft carriers were not idle, huge black smoke came out of the chimney, covering the sky behind, and both aircraft carriers were accelerating, preparing to release their carrier-based aircraft.
