"Listen to the freighter below, please stop moving forward immediately, prepare to be inspected, if you refuse to cooperate, you need to bear the consequences arising therefrom!" Lucas turned the megaphone to the maximum and continued to shout downward.

Sure enough, the other party didn't react, and he was still speeding up!

"Lucas, prepare for a warning shot." Ludwig said, pushing the lever, and the fighter plane snapped upside down.

They were a ship-based surface reconnaissance plane, and they only had the firepower of escorts, which was the machine gun in the back seat, and now, after receiving the order, Lucas opened the hatch of the back seat and pushed his machine gun.

The icy sea breeze sent a shiver down Lucas's shoulders as he pushed the twin MG151 machine guns and pulled the trigger.

"Tom, tom." The machine guns fired a splash in the sea area in front of the bow of the opponent's ship, this time it was just a warning, if it didn't stop, it was time to strafe the ship!

"Leave them alone, let's move on!" Chris still had to go all the way to the dark at this time, and he shouted to his own people: "We have contacted the Soviet side, their naval aviation is preparing to take off, as long as we hold on for three hours, we can fly into the protective circle." ”

Of course, the Soviets were in a hurry, these arms, but what they needed most.

As long as they sail forward and reach the area of activity of the opposing naval aviation, they will be able to get their protection.

Persistence, must persistence!

At this moment, the second round of fire from the other side came, and this time, instead of strafing the sea, they came directly to the bridge of the freighter.

"Quick, head down!" Looking at the line of bullets hitting the deck, Chris shouted loudly, and everyone quickly crouched down, just then, the machine gun bullets were already roaring, and they hit their bridge, and the bullets collided with the steel shell, making a terrible sound, and then, the glass was shattered, and the bullets were fired into the bridge, and they were boiling everywhere.

However, no one was shot.

As long as you hide under the bridge, there will be nothing, and the opponent's machine gun will not be able to shoot through the steel plate outside the bridge at all!

It was a reconnaissance plane that came with no heavy firepower, only machine guns, and it was not enough to bring your side to its knees!

After Chris heard the gunshot, he slowly poked his head out of the shattered glass, and when he saw that the reconnaissance plane was climbing, he was so happy that he even waved his fist into the air: "Germans, don't want us to submit!" ”

"These stubborn guys!" On the seaplane, Ludwig was also completely furious, and he shouted loudly on the radio: "Haijing No. 1, Haijing No. 1, the target vessel resists law enforcement and refuses to accept inspection, I have used machine guns to warn, it has not worked, now please use artillery shells to warn!" ”

Langesdorff has been paying attention to the situation ahead, and it was easy to find one, and he must not let the other party run away, and now, he still dares to resist law enforcement, which is simply not to take the European Maritime Joint Law Enforcement Commission in his eyes!

In this case, let the other party know how good you are!

"Immediately indicate the target to us, prepare for a shell warning, and load the rocket range extender!" Langesdorff shouted loudly over the radio.

The other party guessed well, at this time, the coast guard ship is still hundreds of nautical miles away from the route in the distant Arctic Circle, if it sails over, even if it is at the highest speed, it will take more than three hours, and during this time, the other side has been able to rush to the safety of the sea area.

It's not that they don't intend to take out the bases of the Soviet Northern Fleet, but after repeated attacks, they have learned to behave, the planes are evacuated to the field runways, scattered, and the warships are wandering around, returning to their home ports only at night to replenish, and the German Navy is not adapted to the climate in the Arctic Circle, so it gives them a chance to breathe.

It's just that if the other party thinks that the distance is too far and as long as they are not afraid of the water patrol aircraft, they will be fine, then they are very wrong!

The range of naval guns in this era is not far, even if it is a 406 mm caliber cannon, the range is only thirty or forty nautical miles, which is almost beyond the horizon. Moreover, at such a long distance, hits are almost entirely by luck.

Looking at it this way, it seems that it is not necessary to engage in artillery shells with a longer range, and if it is a naval battle, it is indeed unnecessary, but if it is land support, it is different.

The task of the German Navy is very difficult, the ultimate task is to occupy the United States, the German Navy needs to shell shore targets, and at the same time, the farther away from the other side's coastline, the safer the battleship, in this case, the development of ultra-long-range artillery shells is also put on the agenda, and a breakthrough is quickly obtained.

This is the rocket range extender.

Germany already had a full-fledged rocket, and on the basis of this technology, the existing artillery shells were improved, a solid rocket engine was added to the rear of the shell, and the thrust was increased by burning the jet backwards, so that the shells could reach a longer range.

In later generations, the Americans used this technology on the shells of 127 mm naval guns, and the firing range exceeded 100 nautical miles, but now, on this German battleship, 283 mm caliber naval guns are used, the shells are larger, there is more space to fill rocket fuel, and the dead weight is reduced in combustion, so the range is longer.

In a word, a range of one hundred nautical miles is absolutely guaranteed.

The most important task of the Ar-196 seaplane is to reconnoiter on the water and calibrate its own naval guns!

At this time, Lucas in the back seat has already closed the lid, the machine gun warning is ineffective, these people dare to resist, then let them see their real technology, let them tremble in front of the shells of the ship's guns!

He calculated the trajectory of the ballistics quickly, provided various shooting elements, and after a minute of calculation according to the shooting table, he told Ludwig the results of his calculations to Ludwig in the front cabin.

Ludwig radioed the shots to the rear, while Lucas continued to pick up the microphone and shout at the stubborn freighter resisting law enforcement.

"Listen to the cargo ship below, if you don't stop for inspection, you will be shelled by the coast guard ships, and you will bear all the consequences!"

You are not afraid of machine gun bullets, are you afraid of shells?

This is just a cargo ship, and even a few tens of millimeters of artillery fire from an ordinary frigate can destroy it, after all, its hull is simply not resistant to blows.

And now, hearing the voice, the people on the ship below did froze for a moment, but Chris looked south and saw nothing.

"They're intimidating us, there's no other ship around, leave them alone, we'll keep going." Chris said.
