Chapter 1477 !

Under the order of Earl Spey to save shells, the German fleet carefully calculated every shell. After confirming that there were no minefields on the periphery, the German fleet approached a place only more than 5,000 meters away from the port. Before the main gun fired, it first used 150MM. The artillery or 88MM anti-aircraft gun conducts ranging and test firing, and then fires! The whole shelling took a short time, about 40 minutes, but I have to say that the efficiency this time is absolutely worthy of the Germans' efforts!

The 3,000 horses and hundreds of vehicles and artillery that the British had just transported were unsaved. Before the British had even had time to unload these supplies from the ship, these precious supplies sank with their transport ship. Into the bottom of the sea. At the same time, there is a warehouse on the shore with a large amount of flour and cans. After a burst of shelling, the flour and air that were thrown into the air by the blast wave fully mixed and exploded. Thousands of tons of flour suddenly became the same weight. Under the blowing of the sea breeze, the flames quickly spread to the surroundings. Although the British and French coalition forces on the shore received the alarm, they were at best to evacuate the personnel. After the fire broke out, it was impossible to rescue! No one will fight the fire under the attack of heavy artillery. This is death-seeking and useless!

The flames spread rapidly and spread to surrounding buildings, berths and villages and towns. After confirming that they had destroyed almost the warships in the berth, the several destroyers did not forget to throw some mines in the port and continued to blockade here, and then the fleet began to turn to the northwest, ready to embark on the way home?

"Although we don’t have much ammunition this time, the main guns of all battleships have been fired for about 20 rounds, but we can be sure that 11 transport ships, warehouses at the port, vehicle yards, and important buildings have been destroyed. The berths have been swept away by us. If our intelligence is correct, then we have killed at least 7,000 tons of materials and at least 60,000 tons of ships." The staff officer sent the summary report to the earl, and the earl He didn't look closely, just glanced around and put them aside. He has more important things to do now.

"How much ammunition do we have?" The count thought for a while and said.

"There are about 60 shells left for each main gun, of which there are about 25 armor-piercing shells. The number of shells for the secondary artillery is relatively sufficient. At present, there are about 80 shells for each 150MM artillery." An officer said.

"It seems that our ammunition is not consumed a lot?" The earl was a little surprised by this result.

"That's it. Although we encountered a British fleet, except for the three former dreadnought warships that were used as decoys before, our battleships did not consume much ammunition, because when our super fearless was put on the battlefield, the battle was very high. It's almost over, and many enemy ships were killed by torpedoes," the officer explained.

"Very well, in that case, we can do something else tonight! Tomorrow will be more stable!" The earl nodded slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Isn't our most important task going home?" a subordinate said unexpectedly.

"Going home? How easy is it? If you guess right, the French fleet should be north of us at the moment. Our position has been exposed. The French fleet is unlikely to search for us at night, because it is difficult to find when we After the light control is re-implemented, unless the French are lucky enough to run into us again, their best option is to ambush us near the Dardanelles! It is already 3 in the morning! We are unlikely Return to the Dardanelles before dawn!" said the count.

"Fuck, why do I feel like being pitted?! Just relying on the fleet's current state to fight against the French fleet during the day, isn't it going to be pitted?" Someone feels cold in his heart, and looks at the earl. It's a little weird. Although his boss is bold, he can't be so bold, right? !

To be honest, although the current German fleet is in good condition, the former dreadnought warship that was used to lure the enemy has been set on fire, but it has not received too serious damage. Besides, there are 4 super fearless warships in the entire fleet. The fight really depends on them for output, not those old ships...

Although it seems that each main gun has about 60 rounds of shells, more than half are high-explosive shells, and each main gun has more than 20 rounds of armor-piercing shells. What does this mean? Don't shoot at full speed, even if it is a half-volley of normal combat, after a quarter of an hour, all the super fearless armor-piercing shells will be exhausted! But defeated the French fleet in a quarter of an hour? That might not be possible at all! God is your godfather, it's not alright

And it can be expected. However, the French fleet must come out with a large number of attendants. There must be more warships above cruisers than allied fleets? As for the destroyer? Leaving aside the number, look at the Allied destroyer squad that has burned more than half of the torpedoes. You can't have any hope for them... Moreover, the British fleet is also coming quickly. If you count the time, in the daytime, even if they haven't joined the French fleet, they are probably not far from the battlefield!

"The fleet sails to the northeast. Before dawn, we still need to perform the last mission!" After contacting the air force liaison staff, Earl Spey decisively issued the order!

"Target Mytilene on Lesvos Island! Go ahead at full speed! Whether we can return to Constantinople tomorrow, enjoy a meal and a comfortable bed depends on the next action!" Count Spey said~ www.novelhall.com~ Where is your target airport? "An officer seemed to realize something, so he said.

"Yes, whether we can go home smoothly tomorrow is not ours, nor the navy of Britain and France, but the contest in the sky. If we can help the Bavarian Air Force clear the obstacles in the air, then we will return Home will be smooth sailing! The British and French are blind again, and they will not be able to intercept us with a large number of bombs and torpedoes without air cover." Count Spey said.

In fact, in this area close to the Dardanelles, the Anglo-French Air Force has only one airfield that can really play a role, that is Mytilene Airport on Lesvos, and Chios in the south. The combat range of fighter jets is a little closer. In fact, it has little effect on the battle situation. Therefore, now, on the way back after completing the mission, in order to ensure that the Air Force can provide better cover for itself, the Earl must help the Air Force to blow up the Mitilini Airport before dawn. , Not asking for how many planes to kill, at least requiring them to be unavailable in a short time. And if this can be done, in the earl's opinion, it will not be difficult for the German fleet to go back!
