Chapter 1349 Can't Fire

This is helpless.

Battleships are giants at sea and the most powerful representatives, but at the same time, battleships are extremely expensive to build and are also a symbol of a country. It can be said that if a battleship is sunk by the opponent in a naval battle, it will be good for morale. A heavy blow.

Therefore, in history, whether it is Germany or the Soviet Union, the surface ships of the navy have been passively avoiding war, which is the helplessness.

The Hindenburg-class armor is thick, and it is said to be able to withstand the attack of the 305 coastal defense guns, but it will also make people worry. , with dire consequences.

Marshall has his own considerations.

It can be said that up to now, battleships have mainly become tools for showing off. When the United States is showing off its force, it dispatches its own aircraft carriers. Now, when Germany shows off its force, it dispatches its own battleships.

When there is no danger, let the battleship launch artillery shells. If there is danger, let the carrier aircraft, especially in the Black Sea where there is not much wind and waves, the battleship will come out to put on the facade.

Especially now, one of our own escort aircraft carriers has been wounded, and a Jianghe-class frigate has been sunk. Because of the great achievement of destroying the Black Sea Fleet, the loss is acceptable in comparison, but if the main ship suffers even a little bit of damage, it will also be lost. Let him be disgraced.

In future naval battles, battleships can only stand aside, and only aircraft carriers will be the main force of the attack.

Marshall ignored Fredberg's complaints and just waited for his bombers to strike.

On the escort carrier, Stigler felt the push back of the catapult and took off quickly from the carrier. The PC1000RS bomb was mounted under the belly of his Stuka bomber. It is prepared for a big guy with thick armor like a battleship, and it can also tear apart the sturdy armored turret of the coastal defense gun.

But at the same time, it is already in the take-off state of the maximum payload. At this time, the maneuverability of his aircraft has dropped a lot. If he wants to dive and attack the opponent's coastal defense guns, other carrier-based aircraft are needed. s help.

At this time, on the aircraft carrier Hitler, the HS129 fleet also began to take off. Lieutenant Steinkamp drove his attack aircraft and took off again to fight. The 40mm cannon under his nose was full of Bomb, his task is also very simple, is to use the advantages of his sweeper to clean up the opponent's coastal defense artillery positions.

The Soviets' coastal defense artillery is naturally the target of the focus. The Soviets have deployed powerful anti-air firepower here, including even four groups of 85mm anti-aircraft artillery.

If you want the Stuka bomber to successfully dive and attack, you must clear the anti-aircraft artillery positions with sweeping machine guns!

When attacking the Red Caucasus yesterday, relying on the strong armor protection of his aircraft, he bravely carried out a dive attack for the first time, but he was hit. When he returned, he found that more than 20 people appeared on his aircraft. A bullet hole, and under his cockpit, he suffered five or six more. If it wasn't for his bathtub, he must be in another world by now.

Therefore, although the space in the cockpit is small and people complain, when he sits in the cockpit, he still feels incomparably safe, which allows him to attack with more confidence.

He didn't hang a bomb, his weapon was the cannon, so the maneuverability of his plane was good.

So, despite taking off almost at the same time, he was able to climb faster, heading for the distant Crimea.

The propellers on both sides were rotating at a high speed, driving HS129 to fly. Twenty minutes later, he had followed the coastline of the Crimean Peninsula and flew to Severnaya Bay. The Sevastopol Fortress was on one side of the bay. , while the coastal defense artillery positions are at the mouth of the bay.

It was quiet below, only the wind swayed regularly through the woods, and from here, there was nothing.

The battery was there, but nothing could be seen.

They were already prepared for this.

After the first flight, Lieutenant Steinkamp found nothing, and when he flew the second time, he lowered his altitude, almost five hundred meters, and flew over the fortress.

At this time, he is also risking. If those 85mm anti-aircraft guns shoot at him, his plane may also be shot down. After all, although this kind of attack aircraft can be bulletproof, that is, it can prevent machine gun bullets. The 85mm high If a bomb hits, the plane will definitely disintegrate.

But what's there to be afraid of? How many times he got in and out of the opponent's anti-aircraft fire, he had already put his life and death aside.

After this mission is over, he can at least get another Iron Cross. This is what excites him the most. For this reason, taking risks is nothing.

If the opponent fires at him, it will expose the position of the anti-aircraft artillery, and their coastal defense artillery must be near the anti-aircraft artillery!

HS129 flew arrogantly through the sky.

"Are we going to fire?" The gunner asked in a low voice on the side of the 85mm anti-aircraft artillery on the side of Battery No. 30, as if afraid that his voice would reveal the target.

At this time, their anti-aircraft artillery, covered with camouflage nets, was almost exactly the same as the surrounding turf. Needless to say, the other party would not be able to find it even if it flew 500 meters overhead.

There are also several bushes around, not tall enough to block the view, but also to provide a good view.

The anti-aircraft gunner put his hand on the high and low machine, and just waited for an order, and he could quickly shake the anti-aircraft gun to fire.

At this time, the opponent flew very smoothly, and it was simply a good target drone.

"No, we can't fire without an order, otherwise our position will be exposed." said the squad leader of the artillery squad: "Now, the German planes are searching for us, and as long as we fire, dozens of bombers will pop up to blow up. Our coastal defense guns."

After the squad leader finished speaking, he looked in the direction of the coastal defense artillery one kilometer away from his own position. It was more cleverly disguised there. If he hadn't known in advance that the coastal defense artillery was there, he would never have been able to find it.

There are trees and bushes all around, and the camouflage is too good. Anyway, for coastal defense artillery, their shooting mainly relies on the ballistic correction provided by several observation posts in front, plus the known firing table, within the range of their own firepower. Inside, it simply means where to play.

If the German fleet dares to enter the range of the coastal defense artillery, then at least one or two German capital ships must be killed to avenge their own fleet!

As he thought, he watched the HS129 attack plane fly over them and found nothing.

However, the attack plane suddenly dived!
