Chapter 1371 Shelling Odessa

"Any news?" Rear Admiral Zhukov asked at the command.

These days, he rarely slept a full sleep, and yesterday, since the rescue team was dispatched, he had even more insomnia.

There was his daughter there, and of course he hoped to be able to rescue it, if possible.

The adjutant shook his head: "No."

No news is good news, or at least no bad news.

"General, it's not good!" At this moment, another adjutant hurried in from outside.

"What happened?" Major General Zhukov asked. At this moment, he thought it was his daughter's bad news.

"On the sea, there is a German fleet!" said the adjutant.

On the sea?

Rear Admiral Zhukov opened the window, and from his side, he could see a huge fleet appearing on the southern sea without any obstruction.

Those fleets have high gun barrels, and they look so spectacular, especially in the center of the fleet, the giant battleship looks the most dazzling.

As a rear admiral, he knows all the equipment of the German Navy. That huge warship is the proudest of the Germans, a Hindenburg class with a full load of 70,000 tons!

Although he is in command of the battle in Odessa, Zhukov is also aware of the situation in the Black Sea. His own Black Sea Fleet has been wiped out, and the German navy can sail freely on the Black Sea.

After the Germans took control of the Black Sea, they cut off the maritime support of Odessa. When the land direction was completely surrounded by the Romanians, the sea was cut off by the Germans again, and their fate was not optimistic.

And now, this more direct result made him realize something immediately.

Originally, he thought he could hold on for another half a month, even if there was no fresh water, they would hold on, but now, the arrival of the Germans is to bring them complete destruction.

There is nothing in this world that Germany cannot conquer!

On the bridge, Lieutenant General Marshal looked at the city with a telescope. At the top of the city's buildings, the flag of the sickle and hammer was still flying. Lieutenant General Marshall's face was cold.

"Attention, the entire fleet, the target, the southeastern part of the city of Odessa, the area controlled by the Soviets, open fire, and let the Soviets know the end of resistance!"

"Attention, the whole ship, salvo!" Fredberg gave the order even more excitedly.

"Boom!" The nine 460mm naval guns fired together. The entire sea was instantly surrounded by a huge flame, and black smoke rose like a demon from hell. Nine huge shells , flew to the opposite urban area of ​​Odessa.

"Boom!" The Italian 320mm naval gun also fired violently. This kind of task is their favorite. Don't worry about accuracy, as long as you can hit it.

"Boom, boom!" Naval guns of various calibers are firing, 283mm, 203mm, even an ordinary 150mm secondary gun can fire.

In an instant, the entire sea was shrouded in rich firelight, and the fleet disappeared in the firelight.

"Come on, Germans, we will fight until the last moment, and we will never give in!" Rear Admiral Zhukov looked at the sea that had been dyed red in the distance, and knew that those terrible shells were coming.

"Boom!" The 460mm artillery shell landed near the headquarters, and a huge explosion sounded. The nearby buildings collapsed with a bang, as if it was a weak thatched hut.

The glass of the headquarters had long been shattered, and Major General Zhukov was standing in front of his headquarters, looking at the sea in the distance.

"General, go down, it's dangerous here," the adjutant said to him.

Major General Zhukov shook his head: "No, this is my post, and I will stick to it until the end."

This is not reckless. Major General Zhukov understands that his own headquarters, even if it is an underground fortification, can at most block the shooting of a 150mm grenade. Now, among the shells coming from a distance, 460 and 320 shells can The entire underground air defense fortifications were completely lifted.

It's useless to hide below, it's better to stay here dignifiedly!

"Boom, boom!" The second round of artillery bombardment arrived, the whole of Odessa was trembling, the ground groaned, and countless fortifications were reduced to rubble in the shelling, taking away the lives of countless personnel.

Even the offensive troops who had retreated to the back could feel this terrifying momentum.

Looking at the black smoke rising from the east, the people of the 502nd Armored Battalion were also talking.

Their rat tanks, equipped with 128mm tank guns, are already very perverted. Those unbreakable fortifications can be blasted to the sky with one shot. Therefore, as tank drivers of rat tanks, they are naturally proud.

But now, in front of the naval guns of the navy, they suddenly felt their insignificance.

"A 460mm naval gun can blast a target the size of a football field with one shot. There is no chance of a live opening near the explosion area. The depth of the crater at the center of the explosion can exceed ten meters." Coote exclaimed: "If We can put a cannon like this on and destroy a street with one shot."

"Impossible, such a cannon can only be installed on warships. It is too heavy. If it is installed on a tank, our tank will probably have thousands of tons, and no roads can bear it. Unless..." Schmidt Unless he tried twice, he didn't say why.

"Unless it's on the railroad," Hans said, taking over.

In fact, Hans has a unique advantage. He knows more inside information. In Krupp's factory, there really is such a railway cannon with a caliber of 800 mm.

It is said that his father was not optimistic about this huge cannon transported by rail, thinking that it was too poorly adapted to the battlefield, but his uncle liked this super cannon very much, so Krupp developed it independently.

I don't know when this cannon will appear on the battlefield.

The earth continued to tremble, people outside could watch the fun, and at this time, people in the area that were bombarded could feel the coming of the god of death.

"Boom!" With the loud explosion, the underground air defense fortifications were also swaying, even making people feel unstable.

Even veterans open their mouths involuntarily, balancing the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the eardrum, so they don't seem afraid.

At this moment, an even more terrifying crashing sound suddenly appeared above their heads. They raised their heads and looked in horror at the top of the reinforced concrete of their air defense fortifications five meters deep underground, which suddenly cracked.

A terrifyingly large bomb roared from there, and as it drilled through the concrete on top, the time-delay fuze triggered.

"Boom!" The blazing fire illuminated everyone's eyes, and before they even heard the sound, they were torn apart by the terrifying airflow and debris.

No one could survive. In the enclosed space, the explosion of this artillery shell achieved the greatest killing effect. The high temperature and high pressure gas hinged all the more than 500 people in the entire fortification into minced meat and ashes, and then, The top cover was torn apart.

These minced meat ashes flew into the sky.
