As a staunch fighter who defends democracy, Rodrigue hated Franco very much. This is why he could stand up and join the Republican Army when the civil war broke out. For this reason, he even cleaned up some of the soldiers who sympathized with the rebels on the warship.

And now, Madrid is being surrounded by rebels, among which the rebels’ backstage are Italy and Germany!

Germany must be taught a lesson! Let them know that interference in the Spanish civil war will cost a price! Especially now, the German navy dares to enter the Mediterranean, which makes them even more angry. They must defend their maritime rights!

However, Rodrigue also knew that when his warship directly faced the German German-class, he did not have much chance of winning, because his warship was a 283mm naval gun, while his side had only a 152mm main gun, and both sides were not on the same order of magnitude at all.

So, you can only attack!

And now, the sneak attack has failed.

This made him extremely frustrated. It is conceivable that it would be even more difficult to attack the Germans in the future. After this incident, Germany will definitely be internationally criticized. The Spanish Navy's attack on the German Navy also violated international norms. After all, Germany has not declared war yet.

How to go in the future? Rodrigue felt a little depressed when he thought of this.

"Continue to keep this course and turn west after dawn." Rodrigue said to his deputy. He was tired and it was time to go back and rest.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening.

Out of the bridge, Rodrigue blew the sea breeze. The wet sea breeze calmed his heart. Smelling the unique fishy smell made him relax, who had grown up by the sea since childhood.

But suddenly, his ears rose up, and his spirit was extremely alert. Just now, he felt a little shiny behind him! He turned his head and looked back, and saw a bright flame on the sea behind him.

Damn it!

"Right full of rudder!" Rodrigue shouted loudly while standing outside.

What are those flames? There is only one possibility, which is the flames fired by the naval gun! At this time, the sound cannot be heard because the speed of light is much higher than the speed of sound.

Shoot! Just a few dozen seconds ago, the German behind carried out its first volley!

Lukins chased after him three kilometers before ordering the fire!

In an instant, the entire German was trembling violently. The triple-mounted 283mm naval gun in front made a huge roar, and a hot flame came out of the muzzle, covering the front end of the entire German, and everything illuminated.

Everyone subconsciously closes their eyes. At this time, looking at places that are too bright will lead to short-term inability to see nothing.

Then, a large stream of black smoke at the muzzle flew out in the black smoke!

Germany's most powerful naval gun is this 283mm naval gun, which can tear open 340mm of armor at 15 kilometers! Now, the German, who secretly caught up from behind, opened fire at three kilometers. In this case, the armor-piercing ability will be further increased.

It can be said that as long as you can hit it, you can destroy your opponent!

In addition to the 283mm naval gun, the 150mm secondary guns on both sides are also firing violently!

The entire warship was shrouded in flames and filled with smoke.

To the Libertad, it was like a fire from hell!

They were careless.

During the day, they were waiting for the opportunity to attack. When this opportunity was lost, they evacuated the combat waters, which was just an ordinary voyage for them.

They did not realize that the Germans would catch up, nor did they expect the Germans to open fire!

Therefore, the fleet did not send more watchtowers at all, and no one knew that they had followed the terrifying and fierce battleships. Now, the artillery inside their naval guns were already asleep.

Right full rudder!

Only Rodrigue discovered the opponent's shooting at the moment when the opponent fired, and urgently ordered the right rudder to be fully charged.

In this case of tail-chasing, the projection area is very small. Just a quick maneuver can avoid the shells fired by the opponent!

Unfortunately, he forgot that fast maneuvering was achieved by high speed. Now it only has a speed of 15 knots, and the slow 9,000-ton warship can't turn at all!

"boom!"

A 283mm shell accurately hit the back of the slender Libertad. The triple-mounted 152mm turret was blown away at this moment!

The Libertad has severely insufficient protection, and the turret behind is not completely closed at all, and the cannon shield is also very thin. The 283 mm armor-piercing projectile is simply effortless!

The shell continued to go down, through the armor under the turret, into the engine compartment below, and then, a louder explosion sounded!

Two boilers that burn heavy oil were destroyed! In addition to killing more than 20 people on the spot, the flames quickly spread from the rear.

"Boom!" A 150mm secondary gun shell hit the warship again. It flew over the high mast and chimney behind and hit the bridge in front!

This shot came so ruthlessly!

Rodrigue didn't have time to hide. When the huge air wave came, he instantly felt his body as if it was cut off by countless flying knives. Without even screaming, he was knocked down from the platform of the bridge!

On the bridge, there was a bloody and bloody area, and there were almost no survivors!

However, the Libertad has not sunk yet!

Just now, a right full rudder allowed it to dodge two 283mm shells and three 150mm shells.

But now, it has no chance!

"Second volley, target, Libertad!" Lukins continued to shout on the German-class bridge.

Just now, the sea was still hazy, and now the fire on the Libertad has illuminated the entire sea! Therefore, this second round of artillery fire is easier to shoot!

The automated loading mechanism quickly reloads the ammunition into place. This 283mm naval gun is quite mature. It took only 17 seconds to complete the second loading!

Open fire!

Although it was a completely enclosed turret, there was already dirty air inside. When the naval gun was loaded, exhaust gas came in. The artillery soldiers were very motivated. They aimed again and fired again!

"Boom!" The entire warship was shaking, and the 283mm shells were again projected violently!

The shells drew beautiful curves in the air and landed accurately on the burning Libertad.
Chapter completed!
