Chapter 199： Provoking the end of the German Navy

Although not as majestic as the 380 mm and 406 mm naval guns, the 283 mm naval gun is the real backbone of the German naval gun, and it has also made a lot of credit in future naval battles.

For example, in the Battle of the La Plata River in 1939, the Earl of Spey encountered three British cruisers. The German warship singled out three British warships. In the 82-minute naval battle, the two sides were tied, and the 3 British ships and 2 were hit hard. , Earl Spey was also injured by the British ship.

At the same time, the world’s first and unique case of a naval artillery sinking an aircraft carrier was also done by the 283mm SKC/34 naval guns on the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau.

This kind of naval gun has all-round advantages in range and rate of fire, and it is not afraid to fight against the advanced one, let alone the cruiser that is lagging behind.

After all, the German class, the final classification, is called a pocket battleship! Fight a light cruiser, come in handy!

When the second round of shells fell on the Libertad, the Libertad simply couldn’t hold on. In particular, a 283 mm shell from the middle tribe directly broke the entire Libertad into two pieces. cut!

Sea water poured in frantically, and within a minute, the flagship of the Spanish Republican Army was sunk!

The remaining warships of the Spanish Republican Army have been stunned.

Their flagships were easily killed in a sneak attack, and they simply have no ability to greet the warships that overtake them!

They belong to the Chumenca-class destroyer, which is also the most equipped destroyer in the Spanish Navy. It has a full load displacement of less than two thousand tons, and belongs to the role of soy sauce.

If the Spanish battleships were still there, they might have come up to fight the German-class, but now, they can only rely on the air force. Only when the air force blows the German-class down can they come up and squeeze the persimmon.

And now, the Deutsche-class majesty has killed their flagship! For the remaining warships, there is only one choice, run, run as fast as you can, run as far as you can!

As a destroyer, they have a high-speed, more than 40,000-horsepower boiler, which can accelerate this warship to 36 knots. Even if the hull is now old, it can easily reach more than 30 knots.

The Deutsche class is driven by a diesel engine. The advantage of a diesel engine is fuel saving, while the disadvantage of a diesel engine is that the power is not high. At most, the Deutsche class can reach 27.5 knots.

If they run, the German class behind will not be able to catch up. The problem is that the warship is not a drag racing on the ground, breaking a hundred in ten seconds, and the acceleration of the warship is a slow process.

And this process is accompanied by death!

Just when the Deutsche Deutsche attacked the opponent's flagship, it had already sailed to the other side of the Admiral Scheer and started bombarding!

Naval artillery bombardment, if it is directly opposite, or if it is chasing right now, it can only exert the power of the artillery in front. At the same time, the area of ​​the bomb is small and it is not easy to hit.

Therefore, Admiral Scheer went half a circle and came to the port side of the opponent!

On the Admiral Scheer, the main front and rear triple-mounted 283 mm naval guns all turned to the right.

When they completed the preparations for combat, the Deutsche Deutsche had made a first hit, blazing the Spanish flagship, and the fire illuminating the sea. The remaining Spanish warships were quite clear.

Then Admiral Scheer opened fire violently!

Six 283mm naval guns fired together. What kind of scene was it?

The fire light illuminated the entire warship, huge black smoke enveloped the Admiral Scheer, the huge roar, it was simply the sound from hell!

When seeing this scene, everyone will feel incomparably magnificent, whether it is World War I or World War II, battleship confrontation, naval gun confrontation, this is the most **** sight!

A person will feel his own insignificance, which is like the power of heaven and earth!

The entire sea surface was filled with the roar of naval guns. The entire sea surface was enveloped by the flames of naval guns, and there was gunpowder smoke everywhere. This is the most intense naval battle scene!

The Sanchez was the first to bear the brunt. It happened to be on the left side of the fleet. Although it was already in the first round of firing and was ready to accelerate, it still did not escape.

Two 283 mm shells landed exactly on this destroyer of less than two thousand tons. One landed on the main gun in front. It smashed down two layers and detonated the ammunition inside. On the sea, once again A huge flame burned.

In the terrible fire, several other Spanish warships, with billowing black smoke from their chimneys, were accelerating continuously. In this naval battle, they were simply slaughtered!

Their luck is so good, at this time, the sea suddenly fogged up!

There is a lot of water vapor on the sea In the second half of the night, fogging is a common phenomenon. This fog is the best cover!

If they can accelerate in time and retreat quickly, they can still leave with high speed.

It is a pity that the Melilla at the back was unwilling to leave in such a desperate manner. During the retreat, the two 120 mm naval guns at the back of it returned fire to the Deutsche Deutschland!

The bright light that flashed suddenly made Luckins extremely happy. Originally, he was worried that the other party would flee while taking advantage of the fog. Who would have thought that the other party would fire back like a deadly gun!

The accuracy of the opponent's head is not high, and the shells are still tens of meters away! However, the fire from the opponent's cannon exposed their position!

At this moment, the 150 mm secondary artillery on the two warships Deutsche and Admiral Scheer fired back fiercely!

This gun has a small caliber and a small weight on the turret, so it is easy to catch the fighter, turn quickly, and fire!

On the sea, there was another rumble of cannons. In the sound of the cannons, the tracer drew an arc and hit the opponent again!

It's a pity that the 150mm shell is not powerful enough, it just injured the opponent!

Luckins was not completely satisfied with this result.

Sunk two opposing main battleships and let go of three! He didn't have any injuries. In the night battle, this was pretty good.

In addition to the tactical advantages, the high quality of the German Navy was perfectly demonstrated in this naval battle!

Relying on the sophisticated sighting system, skilled operation skills, and the will to fight close to the bayonet, they successfully sank the opponent! Revenge for the daytime attack!

Of course, this is not enough!

Let the Republican military government know the fate of provoking the German Navy!
