Chapter 695

How far can the 280 mm gun on the armored ship luzov hit? Germany's excellent steel-making technology and gun casting technology enable this kind of cannon to push its own shells to a place 30 kilometers away. Although this range is not the best in the world, it is absolutely bullying to use it to deal with an American destroyer only equipped with 127 mm caliber guns.

"Boom!" Almost at the same time, all the six 280mm caliber main guns on the German warships spewed out dazzling flames. Even in the daytime, such huge flames and smoke were still clearly visible. Even in the turbulent North Sea, the huge gas waves from the huge propellant still blew away the haze of people's hearts like a strong wind.

What's more, seeing the volley attack of six 280mm caliber cannons at an interval of a few seconds from a few hundred meters away may be a spectacle that the civilians will never see in their lifetime. So when the luzov volleyed, Kohler and some civilians on the deck were so scared that they fell to the ground. In their eyes, this might be the most powerful warship in the world.

Don't laugh at these people's ideas. No matter how powerful the British battleship is, there are not many civilians who can see the scene of Yingwang George V's ten guns firing at the same time. Therefore, these German people think that the battleship in front of them is the world's first battleship. It's not a compliment, but a heartfelt sigh.

What's more, although the British Navy's battleship is better, it's someone else's thing. It won't roar for the Germans far away. Although its own battleship is not as good as the British's, it's actually sailing in front of us. It's really firing angry shells for its humiliation!

Cheer up! When have the Germans been so angry since 1919? Ever since the fleet on the high seas turned into a rainbow and sank into the bottom of the British sea, when did the Germans have such a tough style in the Atlantic Ocean? Fire on US warships? And just taking out steam for a group of unimportant German civilians and firing directly? Kohler sat on the deck, looking at the naval gun in the distance. For the first time, he felt that being a German was not a loss.

Close to 20 kilometers away, on the American destroyer, the first mate and the captain are still regretting that they have not been able to snatch an objective sum of money, but soon they suffered a soul stirring round of "natural disaster". With the huge whistling sound, the German shells from 20 kilometers away flew around the destroyer accurately, raising a huge water column for the destroyer.

"The Germans fired? What's going on? Haven't we let each other's ships go? " The American destroyer captain looked at the huge water column rising in the distance, surprised for a long time to spit out such a sentence, I don't know who is asking. I just intercepted a transport ship, and I just fired a gun to intimidate it. Can't I attack it directly with the main gun?

What's more, I'm just a small destroyer. I use the main gun of 280mm heavy cruiser to attack. Isn't it a bit overqualified to kill chickens with ox knife? Do you want to play so hard? Who's on the carrier? It's not the lover of the German Fuehrer who happens to be there, is it? Why are you so unlucky?

After a series of question marks passed in the captain's mind, he finally remembered that his current situation was very critical, so he quickly recovered and ordered: "hurry up! Speed up, change course, full left rudder! Avoid our previous route! Come on! Come on

The tonnage of the destroyer is relatively small, and the sailing speed is faster. It is a typical small ship with a good turn. In less than ten seconds, the destroyer deviated from the original course with the roar of the engine, riding the wind and waves, and turned its bow due south.

At the same time, on the German Navy's luzov armored ship, the middle-aged captain was standing on the bridge. Behind him, the weapon officer was reporting the result of the attack: "the first volley failed to hit the target, and the impact point was far away from the target. Do you want to launch the second volley?"

"Keep firing!" The range and power of the 280 mm caliber gun are really amazing, but it is obviously not suitable to deal with a ship of the size of a destroyer. At least at this time, the embarrassing situation that luzov has only six main guns is highlighted. The small firepower density makes luzov continue to attack no matter the time interval, Or in terms of firepower density.

In fact, there is no solution. That is, the front and rear main guns fire only one big gun at a time, and then load and fire in turn, forming a cycle. However, although that makes up for the attack interval, the firepower density is even more sparse. In short, this kind of small boat with a small number of big guns does not have no shortcomings, Therefore, it can not be a particularly successful cross-border warship design.

Of course, in terms of power, the combat effectiveness of a cruiser designed to fail again is much better than that of a destroyer. Therefore, it is a bullying thing to attack a destroyer with an armored ship.

The so-called layman looks at the bustle and the expert looks at the door. Although the over emphasis on cross-border firepower in the design of armored ships has led to some problems, a group of German civilians on the Hercules transport ship can not see so many professional things at all. They are still immersed in the shock brought by the second round volley and are deeply proud of the strength of the German war machine.

Some people are proud. Of course, some people have to be tired of dealing with the dangerous situation of swearing. Although the German gun calibration radar is far from advanced in accuracy, it is not only the carrier based aircraft on the aircraft carrier can't take off because of the wave problem in the North Atlantic Ocean, Whether the artillery on the battleship can hit the target or not is just a kind of lottery with a high chance of winning. However, German artillery has always been known for its precision, and since the German Navy's gun handling technology can make the British feel threatened, it is enough to prove their strength. Under the guidance of the gun calibration radar, the German Navy not only adjusted the firing parameters in the just distance, but also corrected some firing data after the enemy's course was changed. The second round of salvo shells almost formed a cross fire around the US Navy destroyer, and the shell closest to the US destroyer almost hit the highest mast of the destroyer. Such an accurate long-distance artillery attack has really given us sailors a cold sweat. If they are hit by a 280 mm caliber shell, they will swim back to the east coast of the United States in the cold Atlantic water“ Did the German shell open its eyes? Can't you see that we can play so accurately? " The captain of the U.S. destroyer angrily looked at the huge water column that had not completely subsided in the distance, and yelled at his adjutant. Then he seemed to think of something, immediately waved: "let the air search sentry for me! Don't let go where there are clouds! Look carefully! The other side must have a calibration plane! Find it for me! Come on For the old destroyers patrolling and antisubmarine on the east coast of the United States, radar is not popular. Even if we know that there is such advanced equipment as radar, the U.S. Navy does not have a radar device that can direct artillery to aim at the target. For them, radar is just a kind of equipment to find the opponent, It's not a shooting aid with an accuracy of 10 meters. It can be said that the radar research started by akkado as early as 25 years has finally made Germany lead the world in this kind of equipment, and the German Navy is invincible. It is not the weapon of aircraft carrier that makes Germany win again and again in naval warfare. If there is no radar, the combat effectiveness of the German aircraft carrier fleet will be greatly reduced, and it may even be annihilated by the British battleship fleet in the North Sea. When all the military powers in the world are trying their best to make their guns have a longer range and thicker armor, the Germans are focusing on radio applications, infrared and other aspects. So when we all had heavy armor and powerful artillery, everyone was surprised to find that the Germans also had a lot of new equipment that could influence the outcome of the war. Seeing that the German aircraft carrier is extremely powerful, the Americans and the British have the ability to build their own aircraft carrier fleet, and even the production speed is faster. But even if the American aircraft carrier is launched, can it have the combat capability of the German aircraft carrier fleet? Filling in these gaps is not as simple as a one-year carrier construction cycle. The Germans have gone 10 years first, and it's not easy for the Americans to catch up? In the air defense position of the US Navy destroyer, all the soldiers were looking for the nonexistent gun calibration plane with their heads raised and their necks stretched. The German armored ship had just launched its third round salvo fire, and the huge sound of artillery fire extended to the distance, hitting the hearts of all the German expatriates on the 317 Hercules transport ship. This is not a routine threat and revenge. In that case, one round of volley is enough. Even in order to please the German expatriates on board, one round of shelling can definitely play a role in buying people's hearts. When the German Navy's cannons volley in the third round, Kohler's mind came up with a seemingly absurd word: "of course.". Similar to the pride and tradition printed in the bones, the German naval warships seem to regard all acts of provocation against the Third Reich as intolerable. Their warships are not firing for these German expatriates, but roaring for the rise of the whole German nation!
