Chapter 1173 Reduce the Encircling Circle (Plus 2)

The 305mm coastal defense gun, after the first round of shooting, knew that the shooting table had a huge problem. Now, inside the huge gun position of the coastal defense gun, the artillerymen are also urgently discussing.

"We definitely won't be able to hit according to this firing table, and we have to make adjustments." An old gunner said: "But we can't use the previous firing table. The interior of the artillery has changed. I suggest that we conduct a test. Adjust the shot, reduce the watch by 500, and see how much the distance is reduced."

The firing of artillery fire is a complex mechanical problem. It is definitely not a simple oblique throwing motion like the calculation of high school physics problems. Air resistance, and even the rotation of the earth will have an impact.

It doesn't matter when the range is small, the larger the range, the smaller the accumulated error.

At the same time, the range and the elevation angle are definitely not proportional. In short, it is very complicated. Now, the old gunner's plan is to gradually adjust it. After a few shots, you can find the size of the error and then improve it. This is also what artillerymen often like made.

"No, we're running out of time, I suggest, drop six hundred on the rear sight and fire again."

Just as they were discussing repeatedly, the shells of the three guns were reloaded again. The commander in the coastal defense gun frowned and said, "Reduce the watch by five hundred and five, and release all three!"

It is true that there is no time. The caliber of the German naval guns is larger than theirs, so they will not be given time to adjust a little bit. Call as many shells as possible to the opponent, as long as one hits, it will be a success.

"Boom!" At this moment, a huge explosion sounded near the shore defense gun, and in the huge vibration, the concrete above the head was rustling and dust was falling.

No, the Germans are already attacking.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The coastal defense artillery here had no time to hesitate any longer. The three guns fired at the same time. Huge black smoke rose from the muzzle, and thousands of tons of concrete fortifications were fired in salvo. trembling.

"Boom!" At this moment, the opponent's action was actually faster. After the first test-fired shell, after adjusting the shooting of Zhu Yuan, the second round of salvos came out like this. The 380mm armor-piercing projectile hit the front of the turret of the coastal defense gun, tore a hole, and got into the interior of the turret.

This coastal defense artillery has eight floors up and down. It is simply a solid underground fortification. Now, the armor-piercing projectile has exploded violently on the concrete fortification on the second floor.

The armor-piercing projectiles of tanks are not charged, and completely rely on kinetic energy to kill.

A huge explosion sounded all over the artillery position. Before the smoke from the cannonballs had dissipated, a new round of gunpowder smoke evaporated, but in this round of gunpowder smoke, the entire coastal defense artillery was destroyed.

This is the last 305mm coastal defense gun.

At this time, there are still several 203 mm coastal defense guns remaining.

At this time, they all started to counterattack, but their positions were marked by the German Navy. The German Navy did not know how many times they had simulated attacks. Now, the guns on the two battleships continue to defend these coastal defenses. The artillery bombarded, and the shells flew past, and the coastal defense guns were destroyed in the violent explosion.

The shelling went on for half an hour.

During this half hour, the remaining warships of the Baltic Fleet were only there to watch. They were desperate, the waterway was blocked, and they had no determination to break through the German encirclement.

And now, after the large-caliber coastal defense artillery was destroyed, they also ushered in their own doom.

During the firing, the "Scharnhorst" was also gradually advancing, and the main guns were constantly roaring. On both sides of the superstructure, the double-mounted 150 mm secondary guns were also ready at this time. Ready for battle.

The 380mm main gun is quite powerful to shoot, but such large-caliber naval guns only have a barrel life of a few hundred rounds. If you use them to hit warships of several thousand tons, it is definitely not cost-effective, and Now, this task falls on the secondary gun.

"Attention, aim at the Dezezinski-class frigate ahead and fire!" Following the order on the bridge, the secondary guns on one side also fired violently.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Unlike the main gun, the secondary gun's rate of fire is quite fast, which can reach 15 rounds per minute, and if it is double-mounted, it can shoot 30 rounds of shells in that one minute.

With good training, they can fire at maximum rate of fire for the first few minutes.

The gun barrels were constantly bursting with flames, and 150mm shells flew to the Dezezinski-class frigate ten kilometers away.

At this time, the frigate on the opposite side was also planning to fight back, but unfortunately its turret had not turned around, and it was hit by at least four 150mm shells. Black smoke came out of the hull, and it had been injured. .

At the last moment, the remaining battleships of the Soviet Baltic Fleet wanted to be trapped in battle. They were blocked in the channel, and they gradually gathered together, and outside them, there was a shrinking circle of encirclement.

A "Narvik" type destroyer, at full power, charged towards the Soviet fleet, its bow, 150 mm main gun, quickly projecting shells over it.

This kind of destroyer, which can be regarded as the main German general-purpose destroyer, was produced in the British shipyard to strengthen the strength of the German Navy. In normal times, it was unknown, but now, in the task of sieging the Soviet Baltic Fleet, it is the first Once showed his power.

The battleship is huge and has poor maneuverability, while the destroyer is much more flexible. Just now, due to the threat of coastal defense guns, it did not dare to get too close, and now it is finally not afraid.

The destroyer, numbered Z23, moved forward quickly, and under the bombardment of its main artillery, a Soviet frigate was hit and smoked.

Seeing the majestic appearance of this destroyer, the other destroyers and frigates in the fleet also rushed forward with all their strength.

Soldiers who do not want to be generals are not good soldiers, and captains who do not want to control advanced warships are not good sailors. How can they be promoted? Of course, it depends on military exploits. As long as you accumulate enough combat exploits, you will have the opportunity to operate cruisers or even battleships.

The German fleet, like a group of hungry wolves, savagely pounced on the crowded Soviet fleet, and the annihilation of the Baltic fleet is no longer in doubt.
