Chapter 1350 460 naval guns salvo

Now, the specific location of the opponent's battery is still a mystery, and it is impossible to find it accurately if you only know the approximate location.

Therefore, it seems that it is a little too early to fire at this time, but, of course, Fredberg will not do useless work, the main task of this artillery bombardment is to give the opponent a critical blow, such a distance, he is not confident that he can directly hit the opponent's battery, even if he knows the position accurately, it is useless.

Sixty nautical miles away, hitting the turret of the opposing shore defense gun? This is not to write about the military, saying that a hit can be a hit, which is already beyond the margin of error of naval artillery. In later generations, long-range rocket range extender bombs were all with guidance systems.

If it is to hit accurately, the Stuttgart also needs to be about twenty kilometers away, and his gunners have the confidence to hit the opponent's battery directly, and now let him fire from sixty nautical miles away, which is clearly a fire suppression.

So what are you waiting for? Let's fire!

On the side of the bridge, the calibration plane took off quickly, and its role was actually not great, if the opponent's shore defense artillery fired back, he would be able to provide calibration firing, and if the other party continued to be a turtle with a shrunken head, it was just to observe the impact point of the bomb.

The entire warship, a huge fighting machine, is now moving rapidly.

At the bottom of the turret, a semi-automatic loading system sends the warhead and propellant to the delivery track, and then stuffs it into the chamber, and the entire firing command room is buzzing, and the mechanical firing director begins to measure the trajectory.

Although Germany has successfully developed a computer, it is still the most primitive, and it is difficult to install it on a warship before the circuit components continue to be miniaturized, and Germany still needs to go a long way before it can use computers to calculate ballistics.

After more than ten minutes of solving, the shooting elements of the target have been determined, and then, the turret, which is nearly 3,000 tons, slowly turns.

The Stuttgart has nine 460-mm naval guns, two turrets in the bow, and a triple.

If it didn't change course, it would have to use the six guns in its bow, which didn't make Fredberg happy.

"Left full rudder."

With Fredberg's order, the huge hull slowly moved its huge body, turning ninety degrees, and all the ship's guns turned to their sides.

If it is only to enhance firepower, the Stuttgart's displacement of 70,000 tons, even if it is on 600 mm naval guns, is no problem, but in the end, the caliber is fixed at 460 mm, it is out of many considerations, such as avoiding a new arms race, stimulating the United States, such as now, naval guns can safely and boldly fire a volley on the side of the side, without worrying about the strong recoil to overturn their hull, if on 600 mm naval guns, Fredberg will never dare to do this.

Nine cannons, with an elevation angle of forty degrees, looked as if they were being fired into the sky.

"Turret 1 is ready."

"Turret 2 is ready."

"Turret 3 is ready."

"The school launch plane is in place."

"Fire!" With Fredberg's order, the gunners pressed their fingers the firing button.

"Boom!" More than 400 kilograms of propellant was ignited, and in a short period of time it burned violently, producing a red-hot high-temperature and high-pressure gas, under the impetus of this gas, the warhead weighing one ton was almost instantly pushed to a disembowel speed of 785 meters per second, and the side wall of the naval gun was also subjected to a high chambering pressure of 32 kilograms per square millimeter at this time.

Only this high-quality steel made from electroslag remelted steel can make such a cannon with high bore pressure.

(The Type 91 460-mm armor-piercing projectile from the Yamato's 460-mm gun weighed 1460 kg, does this refer to the weight of the warhead, or does it include the weight of the projectile pack?) Asking for a great solution to the doubt. )

Almost at the moment of firing, the warhead was discharged, and a blazing flame came out of the muzzle, this flame expanded rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, a huge flame enveloped the entire sea, and the volume of the spread was almost the size of five battleships, and even the nearby sea water was pushed by the strong air flow to spread out, and at the same time, under the flame, began to evaporate rapidly.

Under the huge reaction force, the battleship was pushed several meters to the left, and the hull of the ship bloomed into the sea, forming churning waves.

Every shot of the ship's guns was so shocking, as a commander of a battleship, this moment was his most exciting moment, which made people's hearts surge.

The disarmed shell was rapidly climbing upwards at a speed of 785 meters per second, and just a dozen seconds after the muzzle was discharged, a blazing flame suddenly erupted from its tail, and the rocket booster attached to the rear of the warhead ignited! It pushes the warhead, continues to climb, accelerates.

The school plane flew smoothly in the sky, observing the silent land in the distance, where the Soviets had hidden batteries, but unfortunately they were never found.

In the distance, several bright spots appeared, and those bright spots flew quickly towards the coastline of Sevastopol at 3 times the speed of sound!

In this case, it is impossible for the sound to come first, unless the cannonball flies overhead, and the terrible howl can be heard.

For example, the current squad leader of the anti-aircraft artillery squad, his ears felt uncomfortable, and suddenly, he raised his head, with surprise in his eyes, watching the shells fly over his head, and then, about three kilometers away from him, touched the ground.

"Boom!"

The moment it landed, a huge explosion sounded, the earth trembled, and the 85-mm anti-aircraft gun was actually shaken and moved by half a meter.

At the point of impact in the distance, the rubble flew up more than ten meters high, forming a terrifying earthen wall, and smoke and dust billowed everywhere.

How powerful is a 460 mm naval gun? Measured simply by a football field, the explosion of one can be enough to cover the size of a football field.

At the point of the explosion, a large crater more than 6 meters deep appeared, and at the edge of the pit, the pile of soil was more than a meter high, which, if a cover was added, was enough to form a good bunker position.

However, no one was interested in it, this was the roar of death, and the large-caliber naval guns of the Germans actually began to shoot at their own side!

The naval guns were fired in a salvo when firing, but the shells flew in the air, and there may be a slight difference, resulting in a difference in the morning and evening of landing, but it would not take more than a second, and the explosion of nine huge 460-mm grenades caused a small earthquake to the entire position.
