Chapter 140: The power of the giant ship's cannon is still there

The bridge constantly conveyed orders, and 12 305-mm guns aimed at the German positions according to the coordinate data transmitted from the bridge.

Suddenly, the muzzle of the giant cannon spewed out a huge black smoke ball in unison, with a long dark red tongue of fire, accompanied by an earth-shattering sound, the 470-kilogram shell came out of the chamber and flew towards the coastal target like a meteor.

Not everyone will have the opportunity to see with their own eyes a salvo of the main guns of a real battleship.

In just a few seconds, Sun Hui saw a fountain of earth flying high above the shore and a burst of yellow fire, followed by a series of muffled explosions.

The "October Revolution" fired five salvos in succession, and the smoke billowed on the entire coast, like a volcanic eruption, Sun Hui knew that no matter how strong the German artillery position was, it would not be able to withstand it at all under such firepower, and he now understood why the Germans had been deliberately trying to sink the "October Revolution", and also strengthened his determination to incorporate the "October Revolution" into his plan.

Just as the "October Revolution" completed its 6th salvo, German planes again appeared in the sky.

Soon, the two "Stuka" swooped down, and the anti-aircraft guns of the "October Revolution" opened fire, and a long barrage of shells was fired at the enemy aircraft. The gunners of the Soviet Navy fought well, but the German planes still flew down tenaciously aimed at the "October Revolution". In a moment, the bomb fell from the plane.

Under the attack of the bombs, the battleship had to be moved, so the "October Revolution" moved forward at full speed. The splash caused by the dropped bombs flew in front and behind the battleship, but it did not cause even the slightest damage, and the main guns of the "October Revolution" began to fire again in a salvo.

More German planes flew, and the German artillery team deployed on the coast also began to bombard the "October Revolution" with 150-mm heavy guns, and the German artillery hit the "October Revolution" with 3 150-mm shells one after another, although it did not cause much damage, but the threat of German 150-mm guns existed, so under the order of Captain Andropov, the officer in charge of observation quickly determined the position of the enemy's 150-mm heavy guns through the rangefinder and the flash of the enemy's muzzle, "October Revolution" The No. 4 turret was ordered to clear the enemy's 150-mm heavy artillery positions. Sun Hui saw that the No. 4 turret began to turn, lowered the muzzle, and then began to shoot.

Soon, a large cloud of smoke rose from the shore in the distance, mixed with the flash of explosion, Sun Hui saw that there were large steel flowers flying in the black smoke ball, like an overturned steel-making furnace, he knew that it was the destroyed enemy cannon.

The threat of the enemy's 150-mm guns was quickly lifted, but the enemy planes continued to attack, and over the "October Revolution", the "Stuka" and "Dornier" planes circled like flies, sometimes diving down from the direction of the sun on their backs, sometimes sneaking in with ground-skimming flights, sometimes scattering into several groups and flying from different sides, or dropping bombs in sharp turns. However, all these attempts were fruitless, and the Soviet sailors met them with dense and accurate anti-aircraft fire, forcing them to attack prematurely, leaving the bombs far aside. Despite this, three small bombs landed on the deck of the "October Revolution", killing and wounding several sailors, and the battery mount of the No. 2 main turret was slightly damaged, although the turret was still able to fight.

After 12 salvos, Captain Andlopov, believing that the target shown in the coordinates had been completely destroyed, ordered to turn back, and the "October Revolution" turned away from the coast, while the two German planes continued in pursuit, the lead aircraft coming under heavy fire from anti-aircraft guns. Sun Hui saw three red dots, one following the other, flying straight towards the German plane. The first flew in front of the plane, the second flew by, and the third hit the bomb right on!

The German plane exploded, and a large cloud of black smoke appeared in the sky, and a crimson fire lit up in the middle. Two engines, some fragments, three figures somersaulted in the air and fell straight down. That's all that's left of this plane.

The Soviet sailors let out bursts of cheers. The second German plane flew slightly sideways on the fuselage; The engine on the plane had stopped ringing, apparently suffering severe damage. The anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns of the "October Revolution" rang out again. The German planes swayed, and their altitude was rapidly decreasing. An anti-aircraft shell fired by a Soviet gunner hit its left flank accurately, and the left flank began to falter. At this time, a barrage of anti-aircraft machine gun bullets was hitting the fuselage. After a few seconds, the plane fell into the water, stirring up a high column of water.

The two destroyers scrambled towards the place where the German plane fell, and scooped up the bodies of several German pilots and several parachutes from the water.

A few days later, when the "October Revolution" returned to the anchorage, Sun Hui saw what had been found in the pockets of German pilots: some marks of the German occupation forces, French francs and stings, Finnish coins, permits for the entry and exit of entertainment venues, meal tickets, amulets, picture albums, the Iron Cross, the "Conquer Crete" medal, French paper cigarettes, and some other small bits and pieces. It seems that in the occupied territory of the USSR, life for the Germans was still full of nourishment.

After returning to the special tank platoon station, Sun Hui found that the "KV-220" tanks and "T-150" tanks assigned to them had been completed and driven to the station by the workers.

Andreasdorf's crew drove the "KV-220-2" tank, which was named "Leningrad" by Marshal Voroshilov, the Lomonosov crew and the Solnyrev crew drove the "T-150" tank, which was named "Ladogahu" and "Neva" by Voroshilov respectively, and the "521" crew was left with the "KV-220-1" tank, which was still named "Mother Fatherland" by Voroshilov in honor of "521" The first "KV-1" tank to be destroyed.

Voroshilov had already learned about Sun Hui and the girls participating in the battle on the "October Revolution" and shooting down enemy planes, but he thought that it was probably an exaggeration that the captain of the "October Revolution" deliberately gilded in order to curry favor with himself, so he didn't care, what he cared about was when the "521" crew would be dispatched.
