Chapter 1171 shrink the encirclement 2)
After the first round of shooting of the 305mm shore defense cannon, we knew that the shooting table had huge problems. Now, the artillery soldiers are also urgently discussing the huge gun position of the shore defense cannon.
"We will definitely not hit the target according to this shooting table, and we must make adjustments." An old gunner said: "But we can't use the previous shooting table. The gun has changed. I suggest that we make a test-fire adjustment, reduce the scale by 500, and see how much distance is reduced."
Fire of artillery fire is a complex mechanics problem. It is definitely not as simple as when calculating high school physics problems. The slant upward movement, 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 elevation angle are definitely not proportional. In short, it is very complicated. Now, the old gunner's plan is to gradually adjust it. After several shots, the error size can be found and then improved. This is what artillery soldiers often like to do.
"No, we don't have time, I suggest you reduce the 600 meter and shoot again."
Just as they were discussing repeatedly, the three cannon shells were loaded again. The commander inside the shore defense cannon frowned and said, "The measure is reduced by 550 yuan, and the three cannons will be released together!"
There is indeed no time. The Germans' ship gun caliber is larger than theirs, so they will not give them time to adjust it little by little. In naval battles, they are actually comparing who has a faster firing speed. They call as many shells as possible to the opponent in the same time. As long as one hits, it will be successful.
"Boom!" At this moment, there was a huge explosion, and the shore defense cannon exploded near the huge vibration. In the face of the huge vibration, the concrete above the head was falling dust.
No, the Germans have already started attacking.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The shore defense cannons here had no time to hesitate. The three cannons opened fire together, and huge black smoke came out from the muzzle, and thousands of tons of concrete fortifications were trembling in the volley.
"Boom!" At this moment, the opponent's movements were faster. After the first test-firing shell was adjusted, the second round of volleys came overwhelmingly. The 380mm armor-piercing shell hit the front of the turret of the shore defense cannon, tearing open the hole, and drilling into the inside of the turret.
This shore defense cannon has eight layers above and below, which is simply a solid underground fortification. Now, the armor-piercing bomb has exploded violently on the second layer of concrete fortification.
The armor-piercing bombs of tanks are not charged and rely entirely on kinetic energy to kill. The armor-piercing bombs of naval guns are different. The armor-piercing bombs and grenades are just a few different charges.
A huge explosion sounded across the entire gun position. Before the gun smoke was fired from the shells had just disappeared, a new round of gun smoke began to evaporate. However, in this round of gun smoke, the entire shore defense cannon was destroyed.
This is the last 305mm shore defense gun.
At this time, there are several 203mm shore defense guns left.
At this time, they all started to counterattack, but their positions had long been marked by the German Navy. The German Navy had no idea how many times had it simulated attacks. Now, the naval guns on the two battleships continued to bombard these shore defense guns. One by one, one by one, and one by one, were destroyed in the violent explosion.
The shelling took half an hour.
During this half hour, the remaining warships of the Baltic Fleet were only watching there. 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 cannons were destroyed, they also ushered in their own doomsday.
During the shooting, the "Scharnhorst" was also gradually advancing forward, and the main gun was constantly roaring. On both sides of the superstructure, the double-mounted 150mm secondary gun was ready for combat at this time.
The 380mm main gun is quite powerful when fired, but this large-caliber naval gun only has a lifespan of a few hundred rounds. If they are used to attack thousands of tons of warships, it is definitely not cost-effective. Now, this task falls on the secondary gun.
"Note, aim at the Dezezinski-class frigate ahead and fire!" As the orders were issued on the bridge, the secondary gun on one side also opened fire violently.
"Boom, boom, boom!" Unlike the main gun, the fire rate of the secondary gun is quite fast, reaching 15 rounds per minute, and if it is a double-equipped, 30 rounds of shells can be fired in one minute.
With good training, they can fire at the maximum rate of fire in the early days.
The gun barrel was constantly coming out of flames, and 150mm shells flew towards the Dezezinski-class frigate ten kilometers away.
At this time, the frigate opposite was also thinking about fighting back, but unfortunately, its turret was hit by at least four 150mm shells before it could turn, and black smoke came out of the hull, and it had been injured.
At the last moment, the remaining warships of the Soviet Baltic Fleet wanted to fight the beasts. They were blocked in the waterway, and they gradually gathered together, and outside them, there was a narrowing encirclement.
A "Narvik" destroyer drove at full speed and charged towards the Soviet fleet. Its bow, a 150mm main gun, quickly projected the shells.
This kind of destroyer is considered a general destroyer of Germany's main force. It was produced in British shipyards to strengthen the power of the German navy. It was usually unknown. Now, in the mission of encircling and annihilation of the Soviet Baltic fleet, it has shown its power for the first time.
The battleship has a huge hull and poor maneuverability, while the destroyer is much more flexible. Just now, due to the threat of shore defense guns, it dared not get too close. Now it finally doesn't have to be afraid.
The destroyer numbered z23 was moving forward quickly. Under its main gun bombardment, a Soviet frigate was beaten to smoke.
Seeing the majestic appearance of this destroyer, the other destroyers and frigates in the fleet also rushed forward with all their might.
Soldiers who don’t want to be generals are not good soldiers, and captains who don’t want to control advanced warships are not good sailors. How can they be promoted? Of course, they have to rely on military achievements. As long as they accumulate enough military achievements, they will have the opportunity to operate cruisers or even battleships.
