The destroyer with the inlet of the ship could have been saved. At this time, the sailors were carrying out damage control and trying their best to save the warship, but unexpectedly, an 80mm shell fell from the sky.

The destroyer with a total of more than 3,000 tons could not withstand such a blow. The deck that was hit immediately collapsed and the deck was torn apart. Then, under the deck, the terrible explosion sounded.

The explosion caused the side of the hull to crack a larger hole. Like the fate of the Mara, the destroyer began to quickly enter and sink.

"Far-range blast, 500 yards reduce the watch, four doors are released, and two rounds of shooting." With the command of the cannon leader, a more terrifying roar came.

On the two turrets, four 80mm naval guns were roaring, and black smoke rose at the muzzle, just like a demon in hell.

The shooting of battleships is always the most exciting thing.

However, the protagonist of the shelling now is not the "Scharnhorst", but the "Strasbourg" two nautical miles away from it.

This is a French battleship, and it has also experienced vicissitudes in recent years.

Britain, a former ally, sneaked into it, and then it retaliated against Britain and shelled Gibraltar. In the past, it had been wandering in the Mediterranean, and this time it joined the German fleet and followed it to the Baltic Sea.

Although from the sovereignty point of view, this French warship belongs to Vichy France and does not accept German orders, everyone can see that Germany is about to rule the whole world. Therefore, there seems to be nothing wrong with fighting with Germany, let alone the enemy is the red regime they hate.

In terms of the caliber of the cannon, the Strasbourg is 0 mm caliber, which is one order of magnitude smaller than the 80 caliber, but its turret layout is different.

Unlike other battleships, there are turrets in front and behind. The turrets of this kind of battleship are in front, and two quadruple turrets almost occupy the first half of the deck.

There is no turret behind it, which made it suffer when it last British sneak attack, but now, while sailing forward, it can exert all its firepower.

"Boom, boom!" The sound of cannons was so constant that it was impossible to distinguish them at all. The eight naval guns fired together, and this scene was the most spectacular.

The entire sea surface was reflected by the fireballs shot from the muzzle, as if the warship was rushing towards a sea of ​​fire. Then, the terrible black smoke enveloped the entire warship, and the huge hull of tens of thousands of tons was recoiled backwards for more than a meter when it opened fire.

The shells shot towards the Soviet fleet opposite.

On the cruiser Kirov, Captain Alessandrov had only time to open his eyes, his brain was empty because they had no measures to fight.

The main guns equipped on the Kirov are three triple-mounted B-1-p 180mm naval guns. The maximum effective range of this naval gun is less than 20 kilometers, and they cannot reach the opposite German fleet at all.

However, the German battleships could easily throw their large-caliber armor-piercing bombs, just like before, a Tashkent-class destroyer was smashed into pieces with one shot, which was so amazing.

And now, the smoke rising from the sea in the distance seemed to indicate something, and a new round of terrible shelling has arrived.

It is impossible to capture the shells with their naked eyes that are almost three times the speed of sound. They cannot hear the roar of the shells when they are fired, but they can clearly hear the hissing of the shells slashing through the air, the whistling of the god of death.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Just then, behind them, the shore defense cannon finally opened fire.

Just as the shells of the shore defense artillery flew over, the terrifying shells also flew towards the Soviet fleet.

A huge 80mm shell hit the rear armor on the Kirov. The armor dozens of millimeters thick was torn apart, and the shell exploded terrible inside.

Then, the second shell hit the bridge again. When the shell flew over, everyone opened their eyes wide.

"boom!"

The entire bridge was blown open, and a huge airflow came. Alessandrov felt as if he was a light leaf that was blown into the air, and then he knew nothing.

The Kirov suffered a cover of a naval gun, and the warship was instantly sunk, and the Gorky cruiser less than a nautical mile away was also patronized by 0mm shells. After a rain of cannons, the latest warship in service sank unwillingly.

The main force of the Baltic Fleet is gone.

The remaining ones were only 3,000 tons of destroyers and more than 1,000 tons of frigates. Now, the shore defense artillery finally showed its power, and the huge shells were projected towards the German warship. Unfortunately, they fell into the seawater at a nautical mile away from the German warship.

"Damn it, we're fooled, these Germans!" Inside a surviving 05mm shore defense cannon, the commander cursed loudly: "The Germans fooled us!"

A few years ago, when the two sides were friendly and mutual assistance, some Krupp experts came to Kronstadt and according to the agreement reached between the two sides, they improved the life-extending of these shore defense artillery in the mid-term.

They cleaned the rust in the barrel and also applied a layer of anti-wear agent, which is said to allow the shore defense gun to improve its performance and life. At the same time, because the changes in the barrel had changed, the watch scale was changed, and they gave a new gun fire watch.

After the improvement was completed, they also conducted a test shot, and according to the shooting table given by the Germans, they achieved good accuracy.

But now it seems that it is not the case, they were cheated by the Germans.

"The target, 18 nautical miles ahead, 05mm shore defense cannon, the first test shot." At this time, after killing the Kirov cruiser, Alessandrov began to look at the shore defense cannon position in the distance. Now, let the Soviets taste the power of German artillery!

It is quite stupid to place your own country's defense on other countries. After improvements, those shore defense artillery can only ensure that they are accurately fired. Over time, the internal anti-wear agent will damage the rifle and cause the shell to deviate from the expected target.

Moreover, the lifespan of this kind of cannon is limited. When the Soviets tested the cannon, it was enough to test it once. It was impossible to shoot a few shots every year. So, until now, they discovered that the shore defense cannon was destroyed, right?

As long as you kill those large-caliber coastal defense cannons, the rest of your warships can get closer and use your own naval cannon to sink the remaining warships.

The well-trained gunner completed the reloading, target, and shore defense gun within one minute!
