Chapter 1369: Shelling of Odessa

"Any news?" In the command, Rear Admiral Zhukov asked.

It's been rare for him to get a full night's sleep these days, and yesterday, since the rescue team was dispatched, he had even more insomnia.

There was his daughter there, and if it was possible, he certainly hoped to be able to save it.

The adjutant shook his head: "No." ”

No news is good news, at least not bad news.

"General, it's not good!" Just then, another lieutenant hurried in from outside.

"What's going on?" Major General Zhukov asked, and at this moment, he thought it was his daughter's bad news.

"On the sea, a fleet of Germans appeared!" The adjutant said.

On the sea?

Rear Admiral Zhukov pushed open the window, and from his side it was possible to see without any obstruction a huge fleet of troops appeared on the southern sea.

Those fleets with their guns held high, one by one, looked so magnificent, especially in the center of the fleet, the giant battleship, which looked the most dazzling.

As a rear admiral, he knew all the equipment of the German Navy, that huge battleship, the proudest of the Germans, the Hindenburg class with a full load displacement of 70,000 tons!

Although he was in command of the battle in Odessa, Zhukov was well aware of the situation in the Black Sea, where his own Black Sea Fleet had been completely wiped out and the German navy could sail freely on the Black Sea.

And after the Germans took control of the Black Sea, they cut off the sea support for Odessa, and when the land direction was already completely surrounded by the Romanians, the sea was cut off by the Germans, and their fate was not optimistic.

And now, as a more direct result, he immediately realized something.

Originally, he thought that he could hold out for another half a month, even if the fresh water was gone, they would hold on, but now, the arrival of the Germans was to bring them destruction completely.

There is nothing in this world that Germany cannot conquer!

On the bridge, Vice Admiral Machar looked at the city with a telescope, and at the top of the city's buildings, the flag of the sickle and hammer was still fluttering, and Vice Admiral Machar's face was cold.

"Attention, the whole fleet attention, the target, southeast of the city of Odessa, the area controlled by the Soviets, open fire, let the Soviets know the fate of recalcitrant resistance!"

"Attention, whole ship, salvo!" Fredberg was even more excited to give the order.

"Boom!" Nine 460 mm naval guns opened fire together, and the entire sea surface was instantly surrounded by a huge flame, black smoke rose, as if it was a demon from hell, and nine huge shells flew towards the opposite city of Odessa.

"Boom!" The Italian 320-mm naval guns also fired fiercely, this kind of task is their favorite, there is no need to worry about accuracy, as long as they can hit it.

"Boom, boom!" Naval guns of all calibers are firing, 283 mm, 203 mm, even an ordinary 150 mm secondary gun, can open fire.

In an instant, the entire sea was shrouded in a thick firelight, and the fleet was in the firelight, without a trace.

"Come on, Germans, we will fight until the last moment and will definitely not give in!" Rear Admiral Zhukov looked at the already red-stained sea in the distance and knew that those terrible shells were coming.

"Boom!" 460 mm shells fell near the headquarters, a huge explosion was heard, and the nearby buildings collapsed with a bang, as if they were thatched huts that could not resist the wind.

The glass of the command headquarters had long been shattered, and Major General Zhukov stood in front of his own headquarters, looking out at the sea in the distance.

"General, go down, it's dangerous here." The adjutant said to him.

Major General Zhukov shook his head: "No, this is my post, and I will hold out here until the end." ”

This is not reckless, Major General Zhukov understands that his own command, even if it is an underground fortification, is at most to block the fire of a 150-mm grenade, and now, among those shells coming from afar, 460, 320 shells can completely lift up the entire underground anti-aircraft fortifications.

It's useless to hide underneath, it's better to stay here!

"Boom, boom!" The second round of shelling arrived, the whole of Odessa trembled, the earth groaned, and countless fortifications were reduced to rubble in the shelling, taking the lives of countless people.

Even the attacking troops, who had long since retreated to the rear, could feel this terrifying momentum.

Looking at the black smoke rising from the east, the people of the 502nd armored battalion were also talking.

Their rat tanks, armed with 128 mm tank guns, are already very perverted, and those impregnable fortifications can hit the sky with one shot, so, as tankmen of rat tanks, they are naturally proud.

But now, in front of the naval guns, they suddenly feel their insignificance.

"A 460-millimeter naval gun can blow up a target the size of a football field with one shot, and there is no possibility of a live opening near the explosion area, and the depth of the crater at the center of the explosion can exceed ten meters." "If we can put on this kind of cannon," said Kut, "we can destroy a street with one shot." ”

"Impossible, such a cannon can only be mounted on a warship, it is too heavy, if it is loaded on a tank, our tank, I'm afraid it will have to be thousands of tons, and no road can withstand it. Unlessβ€”" Schmidt didn't say anything unless he clicked twice.

"Unless it's mounted on a railroad." Hans picked up the conversation and said.

Actually, Hans had a unique advantage, he knew more about the insider, and in the factories of Krupp, there really was such a railway cannon with a caliber of 800 mm.

It is said that his father was not optimistic about this huge cannon for railway transportation, thinking that it was too poor to adapt to the battlefield, but his uncle liked this super cannon very much, so Krupp developed it independently.

I don't know when this kind of cannon will appear on the battlefield.

The earth continued to tremble, and those who were outside could watch the excitement, and at this time, those in the area under shelling could feel the coming of death.

"Boom!" With the sound of a huge explosion, the underground anti-aircraft fortifications were also dangling, and even people felt unstable on their feet.

Even a veteran can't help but open his mouth to balance the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the eardrum, so he doesn't seem afraid.

At this moment, overhead, there was a sudden and more terrible crashing sound, and they raised their heads and looked in horror at the top of their reinforced concrete of the anti-aircraft fortification, which was five meters deep underground, and suddenly cracked.

A terrible bomb roared from there, and when it drilled through the concrete on top, the time-delay fuse was triggered.

"Boom!" The blazing light of the fire lit up everyone's eyes, and they were torn apart by the terrible air currents and debris before they even heard the sound.

No one survived, and in the enclosed space, the explosion of this shell achieved the maximum lethal effect, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gas hinged more than 500 people in the entire fortification into flesh foam and turned into ash, and then the roof was torn.

And the ashes flew into the sky.
