Chapter 1171 Queue to Be Shot

When the German fleet came up, the entire Red Flag Baltic Fleet was stunned.

The bombers in the sky are terrible, but the number of bombers is insufficient. If the Germans flew dozens of bombers, they could destroy their fleet.

But now, it can be counted in one hand, and the sporadic bombers are all going to deal with large targets, and they don't care about small targets at all.

On one side of the formation, a Tashkent-class destroyer immediately drove at full power, trying to squeeze through the narrow channel.

The Tashkent-class destroyer is also evidence of the friendship between Germany and the Soviet Union, because this class of destroyer was built entirely by the Germans. The Soviet Union used agricultural products and iron ore in exchange for it from Germany.

The performance of this destroyer is quite good. The German-made warships are more refined than those made by the Soviet Union. Due to the excellent engine performance, this warship can reach a high speed of 42 knots.

Originally it was behind the fleet, but now, with full power, it moved forward quickly, overtook the warships, crowded into the channel within the bell mouth, and passed over the sunken Mara.

The German warships came up. Only through the waterway can they be absolutely safe. It is impossible for the Germans to pass through here quickly. The waterway here is the passage of life and death.

Anyway, there is no commander of the fleet coming out to command, and it is not illegal for them to flee like this.

The top chimney belched out thick black smoke, and the Tashkent-class destroyer moved quickly toward the channel, arousing the dissatisfaction of the surrounding ships.

"No, stop now, you idiot!" On the Kirov cruiser, Captain Alexandrov shouted loudly: "The water channel is only twenty meters deep, and you will hit the sunken Mara. of!"

As an experienced cruiser captain, Alexandrov knew very well that the intention of the German attack was to block the waterway. What he didn't expect was that there were still people on his side who would exacerbate this confusion.

The water in the channel is not deep enough, and the Mara has already sunk, but if you look closely, you can see that the Mara has almost just passed by. If you drive it at this time, it will hit the Mara just like hitting a reef. on the number.

"No, we will pass from the side." The captain of the Tashkent class said: "Right rudder one, we will go around."

"Boom!" At this moment, there was a heavy crash, and the bow had hit the rear propeller of the Mara.

The Mara was blown up and sank in two stages, the tail bulged, and the propeller was almost a meter deep under the water. Now, the bow of the ship collided at a speed of more than 40 knots, and it could not withstand the blow at all. A big hole opened.

Just when they were trying to escape here, the German fleet had already started the first round of shooting. No one saw that in the sky far above, the ship-borne seaplane flew over. To undertake the task of artillery school firing.

"Scharnhorst", this is a warship with outstanding achievements, once sunk the British aircraft carrier in the naval battle, and now it is on another mission to destroy the Soviet Baltic fleet.

On the bridge, Captain Claude looked at the Soviet battleship in the distance with joy in his eyes.

"Target, the Soviet cruiser directly ahead, after the test fire, two salvos." Captain Claude's order was quite detailed.

Before he became the captain, he was the gunner of the warship. He was most familiar with how to control the guns of the warship. Now, they are heading towards the Soviet warship, 15 nautical miles away.

If it is in a fast pursuit, the accuracy of the shelling at this distance will not be very high, but it is different now.

Those Soviet warships are gathering towards the narrow channel, but unfortunately the channel has been blocked, so those warships can only stay there, it is like lining up and waiting to be shot.

When they decided to attack the main force and use naval guns to solve the problem, the Fleet Commander ordered the aviation to destroy the shore artillery positions, which was a very wise decision.

For them, the current Soviet Baltic Fleet is just a piece of fat, waiting for their mouths, the only threat is the shore artillery positions.

At the same time, they are now shooting at a distance of 15 nautical miles, and they also have such considerations. Although the maximum caliber of the Soviets' shore artillery is 305 mm, those shore artillery have gone through too long. The artillery of ten years ago, this kind of artillery no longer has the ability to attack at a long distance.

Now, the warship is still sailing forward, so the four 380mm naval guns in front are used. At this time, the naval guns in the middle of the No. 1 turret are pulled up, and then there is a loud bang, a burst of Black smoke filled the entire warship.

The first test firing has already begun.

The shells flew towards the Soviet warship opposite with a fierce whistling.

The 380 mm naval gun is used to deal with the enemy's tens of thousands of tons of battleships. Now it is used to fight cruisers with a displacement of less than 10,000 tons. It is simply a bull's knife.

What is even more terrifying is the high precision of this kind of naval gun. Once at 25,135 meters, there was a record of hits in the moving-to-moving shooting. Now, its first test-fired shell is even more amazing. .

The target is stationary.

The Soviet fleet has nowhere to go.

In front, the German fleet formed an arc, forming an encirclement, heading towards Kronstadt. Inside their encirclement, near the waterway, were nearly twenty Soviet warships, large and small. There, shivering.

At this time, if the Baltic Fleet has enough courage, they can actually rush out.

The Germans' encirclement has terrible battleships, and the thick barrels make people numb, but at the same time, they also have destroyers and frigates. Their half-circle encirclement has many weak points.

At this time, if they make up their minds and fight to the death, they can rush out a part, and even save half of the battleship.

But they didn't, they just leaned on the position of the channel, hoping to rely on the shore artillery group on the shore to drive these terrible German fleets away.

It was like a group fight in a school, a group of people surrounded a few younger brothers in the lower grades, and the rest was beaten hard.

The first shell cut through the air and made a terrible hissing noise. Because the Soviet fleet was too concentrated with each other, the shell hit the cruiser in front of it, although it was far away. Ship, on the Tashkent-class destroyer blocked in the channel.

"boom!"
