Chapter 1352 460 Naval Gun Salvos

Now, the exact location of the opponent's fort is still a mystery, and only the approximate location is known, and it is impossible to find it precisely.

Therefore, it seems a little too early to fire at this time. However, of course, Fredberg will not be useless. The main task of this artillery attack is to give the opponent a crit. At such a long distance, he is not confident. It is useless to hit the opponent's fort directly, even if the location is precisely known.

Sixty nautical miles away, hit the turret of the opponent's coastal defense gun? This is not to write a military novel, saying that hits can hit, which is beyond the error range of naval guns. In later generations, long-range rockets with extended range are all equipped with guidance systems.

If he wanted to hit accurately, the Stuttgart also needed to be around 20 kilometers before his gunner had the confidence to hit the opponent's fort directly. Now let him launch it from a distance of 60 nautical miles. It is clear that it is similar to fire suppression.

What are you waiting for? Fire it up!

On one side of the bridge, the calibrating plane took off quickly, and its effect was not very big. If the opponent's coastal defense artillery fired back, he would be able to provide calibrating shots. If the opponent continued to be a turtle, it was just observing the impact of the bomb.

The entire warship, which is a huge fighting machine, is moving rapidly now.

At the bottom of the turret, the semi-automatic loading system sent the warhead and the propellant to the delivery track successively, and then stuffed it into the gun chamber. The entire firing command room was buzzing, and the mechanical firing director began to measure the trajectory.

Although Germany has successfully developed a computer, it is still the most primitive. Before the circuit components continue to be miniaturized, it is very difficult to install it on a warship. To use a computer to solve the ballistics, Germany still needs to have a way to go. Walk.

Mechanically, it showed the smart brains of the technicians. After ten minutes of calculation, all the elements of the target's shooting have been determined. Then, the nearly 3,000-ton turret slowly turned.

Stuttgart has nine 460mm guns, two turrets on the bow, and three mounts.

If it doesn't change its course, it can only use the six guns in its bow, which will not make Fredberg happy.

"Full rudder left."

Following Fredberg's order, the huge hull was slowly moving its huge body, turning ninety degrees, and all the naval guns turned to its own side.

If it is only to increase firepower, then the displacement of the Stuttgart is 70,000 tons, even if it is a 600mm naval gun, but the final caliber is set at 460mm, it is for various considerations, such as avoiding new The arms race stimulates the United States. For example, as it is now, naval guns can freely fire broadside salvos without worrying about the powerful recoil overturning their hull. If a 600mm naval gun is used, Fredberg Absolutely dare not do that.

Nine cannons, with an elevation angle of forty degrees, look like they are firing into the sky.

"Turret 1 is ready."

"Turret 2 is ready."

"Turret No. 3 is ready."

"The school shooting plane is in place."

"Fire!" Following Fredberg's order, the gunners pressed their fingers hard on the firing button.

"Boom!" The propellant weighing more than 400 kilograms was ignited, and it burned violently in a short period of time, producing hot high-temperature and high-pressure gas. Driven by this gas, the one-ton warhead was almost It was pushed to a speed of 785 meters per second in an instant, and the side wall of the naval gun was also under a high pressure of 32 kilograms per square millimeter.

Only the high-quality steel made of electroslag remelted steel can produce such a high-pressure cannon.

(The Type 91 460mm armor-piercing projectile of Yamato's 460mm gun weighs 1,460kg. Does this refer to the weight of the warhead, or does it include the weight of the propellant pack? It's great to know.)

Almost at the moment of firing, the warhead came out of the chamber, and a fiery flame emerged from the muzzle. This flame rapidly expanded. In the blink of an eye, the huge flame enveloped the entire sea surface, and the scattered volume was almost With the size of five battleships, even the nearby sea water was pushed and spread by the strong airflow, and at the same time, those under the flames began to evaporate rapidly.

Under the huge reaction force, the battleship was pushed abruptly to the left for several meters, and the hull of the ship blossomed into sea water, forming tumbling waves.

Every shot of the naval gun is so shocking. As a commander of a battleship, this moment is his most exciting moment, which makes people emotional.

The shell that came out of the chamber was rapidly climbing upwards at a speed of 785 meters per second. Just a dozen seconds after it exited the muzzle, a hot flame suddenly burst out from its tail, and the rocket booster attached to the rear of the warhead ignited. ! It pushed the warhead and continued to climb, accelerating.

The school shooting plane flew smoothly in the sky, observing the silent land in the distance, where the Soviet artillery battery was hidden, but unfortunately it was never found.

In the distance on the horizon, several bright spots appeared, and those bright spots flew towards the coastline of Sevastopol at 3 times the speed of sound!

In this case, it is impossible for the sound to come first, unless the cannonballs fly overhead to hear the terrifying howl.

For example, the current squad leader of the anti-aircraft artillery squad, his ears felt uncomfortable, and he immediately raised his head, with surprise in his eyes, watching the artillery shells fly over his head, and then, in the distance He touched the ground about three kilometers away.

"boom!"

At the moment of landing, a huge explosion sounded like this, the ground was shaking, and the 85mm anti-aircraft gun was actually moved half a meter by the vibration.

At the impact point in the distance, the gravel splashed up to a height of more than ten meters, forming a terrifying earth wall, with smoke billowing everywhere.

How powerful is the 460mm naval gun? It can be simply measured by a football field. The explosion range of one piece is enough to spread to a range the size of a football field.

At the explosion point, a large pit with a depth of more than 6 meters appeared. On the edge of the pit, the piled up soil was more than one meter high. If a cover was added, it was enough to form a good bunker position.

However, no one is interested in it. This is the roar of the god of death. The large-caliber naval guns of the Germans actually started shooting at their own side!

The naval guns are fired in salvos, but the shells fly in the air, there may be a little difference, resulting in different landings sooner or later, but it will not take more than one second, the explosion of nine huge 460mm grenades , causing a small earthquake to the entire position.
