Wait, Colonel Holland, still on the other side's warship!

Hearing the order of Lieutenant General Somerville, an assistant wanted to speak, but then, he did not say anything.

It was no longer useful, and at the same time as Vice Admiral Somerville gave the order, the warships at the front were already firing!

The battleship HMS Warrior, a Queen Elizabeth-class battleship completed in 1916, was a World War I battleship, like most other British battleships.

It is also a British decorated old ship, having participated in the Battle of Jutland, and this year, it has just undergone a modern refit.

Up to now, it is the only remaining 30,000-ton battleship in the British Navy, and there is no such warship in the mainland, only in the Mediterranean Fleet.

It had all the preparations, and when the order was given, it began to shoot on its own.

As a large battleship, it had eight twin 15-inch/42-diameter MKI. guns, and at this point, it turned to its own side, just enough to allow the bow and stern guns to be aimed at it.

When the ship's guns fired, thick smoke enveloped the entire battleship, and in the huge black smoke, 381 mm armor-piercing shells flew to the opposite side!

Britain and France had not fought since the Battle of Waterloo, and this was the first time that Britain had opened fire on the French army since the battle!

With a sharp roar, eight armor-piercing shells flew to the other side of the breakwater, where the main forces of the French fleet were docked!

Along the breakwater from northwest to southeast of the port are the ships "Dunkirk", "Brittany", "Strasbourg", "Provence" and "Commander Tast".

These battle cruisers and old battleships were all stern against the breakwater, and the most fatal of them were the "Dunkirk" and "Strasbourg", the two newest and most combat-ready battle cruisers in France, which were now only beaten and did not fight back.

This kind of French battleship, I don't know what the designers thought, maybe the brain was kicked by a donkey, they used 330-mm heavy guns, and on such a 30,000-ton battleship, the caliber is definitely not large.

At the same time, there are not many of them, only 8 of them, and the most important thing is that this is made of quadruple twin turrets, which is absolutely special. Almost on other warships of World War II, it is rarely seen.

These two quadruple turrets were all in front, that is, the proudest battleship in France had no ability to attack the rear.

Of course, it can't be said that there are some 130-mm secondary guns in the back, but it's a pity that in such naval battles, such secondary guns are useless.

The stern of the ship is against the anti-Boti, and in the distance of the anti-Boti is the warship of the British, in this way, they are equivalent to the butt against the British warship, they can't use the bow main gun, that is, they don't have any ability to fight back!

On their side, on the other side of the port, destroyers were docked, and on the shore, there were coastal batteries armed with 6.1-inch, 7.6-inch and 9.4-inch shore guns. There are also 52 fighter jets at the nearby airfield, and 10 small destroyers, several submarines and 13 small ships of various kinds are moored in Orlan not far away.

When the British bombarded the ships, the entire French fleet erupted in complete rage.

"Boom!" The huge armor-piercing bullet smashed on the anti-wave tip, and the anti-wave made of concrete was instantly blasted open a large hole of more than ten meters.

The first salvo of the British naval guns did not hit at all, and it was also difficult for them to aim at the French fleet behind the anti-Poti.

"Boom!" A loud explosion, ringing on everyone's eardrums, made General Soule stand up and glance at Colonel Holland.

"There must be a misunderstanding in this, give me the radio, and I'll contact the other side." Colonel Holland said, at this time, he was also stunned, according to the way he was discussed, he had to persuade him to surrender first, but he really couldn't do it, and then he would act, and now, he didn't say much, he did it here?

"Put him in the bilge!" Let General Sur turn his head and not look at this old friend, and now, the battle, has begun! If your own ship sinks, this guy must die!

"Order, fight now, go into battle now!" Let General Sur shout loudly.

At this time, thick black smoke came out of the chimneys of various warships, and the boilers of heavy oil were successfully ignited, but it would take at least half an hour to boil several tons of fresh water, and during this time, their battleships could not move at all!

The short and powerful bells began to ring, and at the same time, sharp sirens sounded on the shore.

On each battleship, the personnel had actually been woken up a long time ago, and now, they quickly entered their combat positions.

Among them, the fastest response was the "Provence", an old ship from the First World War, and the sailors on the warship were well-trained, and they quickly climbed into the various anti-aircraft guns to be ready for battle.

The battleship, with 10 340 mm 45 x diameter 1912 guns, was installed in five twin turrets, with the fastest response of the No. 5 main turret and No. 4 main turret, and the personnel had already begun to prepare for the opening of fire.

They are also upside down, so the main guns in the stern can hit the enemy.

In the No. 4 main turret, the gun commander began to calculate, and from this side, the anti-wave still blocked his view, so that he could only rely on the mast that appeared in his field of vision as an aim, and a minute later, he measured the various shooting elements.

"Fire!"

According to his firing Zhuyuan, two turrets, 4 340-mm naval guns, made an earth-shattering sound.

Since you fire at your own side, you are the enemy, and your own counterattack will be merciless!

The counterattack of the French Navy was also fast enough, but unfortunately, the gun commander at this time did not know that the mast in his field of vision was not at all from the British warship in the distance, but from the Dunkirk on his side, which was simply a big oolong!

His shots were all wrong, and it was impossible to hit the target at all.

"Calibration plane, quick, take off immediately to calibrate plane!" At the same time, the captains on both sides were shouting loudly.

The British Warrior, after the first salvo was not effective, immediately suspended firing, and now they need to take off the calibration plane, show them the direction of the target, and calibrate the trajectory!

At the same time as the ship's guns fired, the two aircraft carriers were not idle, huge black smoke came out of the chimney, enveloping the sky behind, and both aircraft carriers were accelerating, preparing to release their carrier-based aircraft.
