Chapter 1349： Naval guns have long been hungry and thirsty

The Soviets did not take the bait!

Bombing the ground from the air is not so easy, and it is not the era when there is a global positioning system in later generations. As long as you know the coordinates of the other party accurately, you can do the bombing. In this era, you must visually discover it.

It is not difficult to hide the target. In history, the Soviets even hid the Kremlin. German bombers flew by repeatedly but couldn't find it.

Even targets such as the Kremlin can be hidden, not to mention a coastal defense artillery position. After careful camouflage, it is impossible to find out from the sky.

Even if the German pilots used the method of strafing against the ground, they did not force them out. In short, they were not fooled, and even the anti-aircraft guns were not strafed against the air and they were not exposed at all.

This poses a problem for the Germans.

"Commander, we can only force their shore defense artillery to fire if we get close and bombard them with naval guns." Fredberg continued to admonish: "Now, we can only rely on our warships, especially our Stuttgart. The number is thickly armored, so you don’t need to care about the opponent’s 305mm naval gun, and when our warship passes by, they will definitely open fire."

I have long wanted to fight a vigorous naval battle, but unfortunately, apart from training, I have not let off the gun in actual combat. How can this make Fredberg reconciled?

He is waiting for the opportunity, he is fighting for it.

Marshal nodded: "Yes, it seems that without dispatching our main battleship, it is impossible to induce the opponent to fire. In that case..."

Fredberg looked at Marshal with expectant eyes, but followed, disappointed again.

"Order the Count Cavour to take the lead and lead the Italian fleet to go shelling at the fortress of Sebasto." Machar said.

Why are they again? Suddenly, Fredberg was extremely disappointed, and he was about to turn his face on the spot with Marshal, but he suppressed it. Of course he knew that Marshal's arrangement was better.

The Italian army intercepted a few Soviet warships last time, but none of them stopped. These guys are too weak to be used as the main force at all, but you have to tap their value, right? In this case, it would be nice to let them lure the enemy!

When they seduce the enemy, it must be their own Stuka who can go down and attack. After so many days of tossing, there is no chance for one's naval gun to fire?

"General, let's fire outside the opponent's range. Is this always okay? If you still don't agree, I will leapfrog to Berlin and ask the Führer Cyric for instructions. You intend to suppress us." Recklessly, in the army, reports of leapfrogging are taboos, but he relentlessly put out as a tool to threaten Marshal.

Can't this battle be over, you didn't do anything?

While speaking, Fredberg stood up and straightened his waist. At this moment, he did not hesitate to offend the man several ranks higher than his own.

What a cow, if you don't give me a fight, I will not be convinced!

He was ready for how Marshal would answer him with angry words. Who knows, Marshal actually laughed: "Well, then at the longest distance, um, sixty nautical miles, three salvos, how? kind?"

Hearing the word sixty nautical miles, Fredberg was immediately disappointed.

Fredberg wanted to fire outside the opponent’s range so that he could completely guarantee his own safety. The opponent’s 305mm naval gun has a maximum range of about 30 kilometers. In fact, to take care of the accuracy of the hit They would never fire twenty kilometers away.

Therefore, he intends to fire at the opponent’s 20 kilometers away. In this way, with the telescope, he can see the spectacular scene of his fire and shooting, and it is also convenient for the gunner to correct the trajectory and strive to directly hit them with his naval gun The shore defense artillery smashed the opponent's turret and exploded. That scene was spectacular.

But now, Marshal actually lets him be sixty nautical miles away, sixty nautical miles away, he can't see anything! They were rising up in the sea and soaring a few strands of black smoke, and then there was no more.

If it is an ordinary 460 naval gun, the maximum range is more than forty kilometers. With the spirit of excellence and outstanding craftsmen, Germany can maintain a very high accuracy at this distance.

In this era, no one would have thought that the range of naval guns would be as high as hundreds of nautical miles, but for Germany, this is not a big problem.

This is the rocket extended-range projectile. On the Graff, the 283mm naval gun fired its own projectiles for hundreds of nautical miles, successfully deterring American transport ships.

On the Stuttgart, of course, there is also this kind of rocket extended range projectile. It is no problem to hit 100 nautical miles, but the effect is much worse, because the rocket extended range projectile has a large amount of solid rocket fuel. , The quality of the warhead is continuously reduced in flight, and there is no normal armor-piercing projectile to fight it.

Not to mention sixty nautical miles, this is also because now oneself is only sixty nautical miles away from the opponent's fortress. If it is farther, Mashaer will definitely say a greater distance.

"Five volleys, let's fire first." Fredberg still compromised. He can only fight for a while now. He was waiting for Marshal to disagree, but Marshal just said indifferently: "Okay, I promise you."

Suddenly Fredberg was taken aback, and then he realized that he was being teased by Marshal again. Although his own naval gun would waste the life of precious naval guns, it was also A means of demonstrating to the Soviets.

Now that Marshal has agreed, he is also unambiguous: "Attention, turret No. 1, turret No. 2, turret No. 3, maximum charge, extended-range projectile, target, sixty nautical miles away, Sespo Fortress Gorky No. 1 fort, show me your skills! School shoot the plane and take off immediately!"

Now he doesn't need to move at all, as long as he can fire directly here!

As for the Italian warships, it would take at least an hour to get close to the Soviets' shore defense guns. I didn't wait that long. My guns were already hungry and thirsty.

On the bridge, Fredberg issued battle orders one by one, and he didn't pay attention to Marshal on the side at all. What are you afraid of? Just now Marshal made it clear and agreed to fire first. Don't think you are. Always played!

Following his order, the entire warship began to move, entering the most exciting moment before the battle.
