"Damn, how could this be?!" Scheer frowned, watching the tower crane as a reference being destroyed in the first salvo, and his heart was depressed! But it's normal to think about it, this tower crane is prepared for Garibaldi's outfitting, and it is naturally not far from the target, and according to the walk of the artillery, a cannon destroyed a thing next to the target, which just shows that the hit accuracy is high!

"Wait, something happened?" If a tower crane of hundreds of tons falls into the water, the splashed water column will definitely be observed by the rangefinder. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBut unfortunately, there is no water jet, but there seems to be a loud collision sound in the distance! If someone were standing in the harbor at this time and watching the outfitting berth, they could see that the tall tower crane smashed into the hull of the unfinished armored cruiser Garibaldi next to it like a sharp sword.

This is a battleship that has not even installed the superstructure and armor, and the smashing of hundreds of tons of metal parts can be described as destruction for this unborn battleship, even worse than hitting a shell! With a loud bang, tons of steel collided with each other, and the violent impact sent the rear hull of the battleship

Directly broken and twisted, the heavy steel frame directly opened several decks, and even almost cut the battleship in half! The stern part of the hull was lifted under the impact, while the front half of the hull also underwent a serious tilt. And there was a serious ingress of water, and for this battleship to finally sink to the bottom of the sea is the best result for him!

"It seems that we have solved a target ......." Although it was not clear what was going on in the distance, the sudden disappearance of the mast, which had been slightly exposed to the breakwater, would have made the Germans understand what had happened. The steel beam that collapsed in the distance did not hit the mast, but the mast still fell, which means that it hit the battleship's .......

"Alright, let's attack the next target!" The rangefinder then pointed at another reference, the tower crane outfitting the Admiral Dupont and a building next to it. This time the Germans attacked a little off, to avoid knocking out the reference prematurely. After all, it is impossible for a tower crane to smash a battleship repeatedly.

The battleship survived much longer than its companions, but that only meant that it had to suffer longer than Garibaldi! In the third round of salvo weight, two 10-inch high-explosive shells successfully hit the target, and one high-explosive shell fell straight into the hole reserved for the chimney, accompanied by a loud bang, the fire caused by more than 30 kilograms of ******** instantly rushed to other cabins along with the passages and pipes inside the hull.

Another shell landed not far away, directly stripping a large part of the deck from the hull, and with the influx of a large amount of air, the fire inside the hull became more and more serious. At the beginning, the panicked Italians also tried to save the battleship, and the firefighters rushed into the fire with water hoses, but soon the entire area was covered by dense shells! Flying shrapnel and flames tore the few brave firefighters to shreds, splatters of blood evaporating in the scorching air, and shattered limbs quickly turned into piles of carbide.

This battleship that could have been Yang Wei at sea was more fragile than a steamer at this time, although everyone was not armored, but the watertight compartment of the steamship was closed, and all the watertight doors of this ship were opened! And for this reason, the fate of the battleship under the guns of Prince Albert has already been decided!

The continuous shelling continued to destroy the battleship, and at the same time affected the nearby buildings and warehouses, outfitting a battleship is a very troublesome matter, requiring cranes, power plants, warehouses, and various means of transportation. There were also flammable and explosive materials such as paint, and the heavy shelling turned the entire area around the berth into a sea of fire, so much so that from the black smoke rising from the rising black smoke and the flames running over the breakwater, it could be concluded that the battleship would definitely not live!

In the end, the battleship was hit by at least 10 rounds of 227kg shells, and after breaking into three sections, it sank to the bottom of the sea. After seeing that the fire in the distance had already burned half of the port, Schell decided to suspend the shelling, after seeing that the fire in the distance had already burned half of the port, after all, his remaining shells needed to deal with the Italian fleet, and this time, the Germans did not want to offend the Italians to death.

"Excuse me, how is the mine-laying operation going on on the Swordfish?" Scheer commanded.

At this time, the diligent Swordfish attack ship had completed the operation of throwing the three captured transport ships near the roadway, and then felt that it was not enough, and after dropping no less than 150 rounds of various mines near the channel, it finally decided to slap its ass and leave. The entire attack lasted less than 90 minutes, but according to the estimates of the Italians, in this attack Italy lost at least 11 ships of various types, with a total tonnage of 45 thousand tons! and caused more than 3,000 casualties, (a large part of which were affected by the detonated ammunition ships.) As for the economic losses, a conservative estimate is around £5 million!

Of course, the most painful thing for the Italian Navy are the two warships that have entered the final outfitting stage and will soon be completed, the two battleships cost 1 million pounds and 680,000 pounds respectively, they were originally the rising stars of the Italian navy, used to replace the old fleet. But who would have thought that these warships would sink forever into the sea before they were completed,

The shelling by the Germans was devastating, two ships were completely destroyed, and the so-called salvage operation was at best to recover some scrap steel. The facilities on the shore were burned to the ground, and many port facilities did not consider facing large-caliber artillery attacks! The black smoke and flames produced by the shelling can be seen even from tens of kilometers away.

"If I hadn't known it was a port and not a volcano, I would have thought it was a volcanic eruption." Afterwards, an Italian said.

The Italians living in Taranto were even more impressed by the shelling.

"Everything was very calm that morning, we knew two weeks ago that the kingdom had declared war on the Turks, but our lives did not change much, except that the government began to buy a lot of grain and transport, and the price level rose somewhat."

"But today, I suddenly found that the war was very close to us, the enemy warships were attacking just outside the harbor, the sound of every artillery salvo could be heard clearly in the city, the harbor in the distance quickly turned into a sea of fire, I don't know how many people died, but I knew that in our community alone, there were 7 people who never returned! For the first time, I found out that Italy was so weak that it would be hit by a country lying on a sickbed! An Italian living in Taranto said.
