"The main gun! Fire! With Lindemann's order, the German fleet began a fierce attack.

3 new warships, against an old warship, both sides have an absolute advantage in terms of firepower speed and protection.

Even a battlecruiser with no focus on protection was better armored than the Soviet battleship Paris Commune, built before the First World War.

So, when the battle began, Lindemann found himself pressing the opposing ship.

It was a really cool feeling, because from the time he was the captain of the battleship Bismarck, he dreamed of the day when he could command the fleet to crush his enemies.

In the real historical time and space, Lindemann did not realize this dream, and sank into the icy bottom of the Atlantic Ocean with the battleship Bismarck.

In this historical time and space, he finally got what he wanted, led his own fleet, and launched a decent naval battle with the enemy's fleet.

"Speed 26 knots! The distance is closer! The engineer holding the steering wheel shouted loudly, and the battle cruiser Scharnhorst was cleaving the waves, rushing closer to the enemy fleet.

The two twin turrets in the bow of the ship are majestically pointing at the enemy in the distance, spewing dazzling fire.

"Boom!" In the second round of two-gun salvos, the German flagship took the lead, followed by the Counterattack battlecruiser, albeit with fewer guns but a larger caliber.

In addition to the slightly slower speed, it can be regarded as a powerful battleship that the British surrendered and handed over to Germany.

With three twin 381 mm guns, it was an absolute mainstay of the German pursuit fleet in terms of firepower.

Less than half a minute after the battlecruiser Scharnhorst opened fire, the battleship Counterattack also opened fire, without the slightest hint of relentlessness.

Immediately afterwards, the third giant ship, the battle cruiser Gneisenau, also opened fire, and in an instant, more than a dozen huge columns of water were stirred up in the vicinity of the Soviet fleet.

"Adjust the shooting angle! 0.12 degree correction! Behind the optical sight, the mechanical calculator quickly calculated the value that should be corrected, and the officer in charge of aiming loudly gave the correction order to the intercom.

Subsequently, all the raised guns began to correct their firing angles, ready for the next more accurate shot.

On the huge battleship, the steel turret rotated slightly, and the Germans relied on the speed of the ship to adjust the positions of both sides to a more favorable state for themselves.

Although it has not yet seized such an absolutely advantageous position as the T-shaped position in a short period of time, it has turned the positions of the two sides into parallel positions.

In such a position, all German artillery can join the battle, and the absolute superiority in artillery can be fully brought into play.

At this time, on the bridge of the Soviet battleship Paris Commune, General Gorshkov realized that he could not hold out for long.

Naval warfare is a branch of the armed forces in which technical weapons play a role, and once they fall into passivity in technology, they will only be beaten.

For example, in the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, the Chinese Navy, which was technologically inferior, was beaten by the technologically updated Japanese Navy.

The disadvantage in speed is that you can't catch up if you win, and you can't run if you lose. The disadvantage in defense and the disadvantage in firepower also determined the outcome of a naval battle.

Gorshkov knew that he could not catch up with his opponents in terms of speed, firepower, and defense, so he could only delay some time for the slower ships.

"The enemy has not yet entered the firing range! How could they have opened fire at such a distance? Standing beside Gorshkov, the captain of the battleship Paris Commune muttered anxiously.

His battleships had only 305 mm caliber guns, and they were old-fashioned guns. Not only is the range not very good, but the rate of fire is also very different.

The other side did not enter the range of the Soviet Navy, but took advantage of the advantages of aiming accuracy and rate of fire at long distances to open fire frequently.

The most terrible thing is that the other side is about to go around to the front of the Soviet Navy and hit half of the Soviet Navy's firepower with all its firepower......

"Can our warships still accelerate?" Ignoring his captain's desperate muttering, Gorshkov asked anxiously.

"It's already the maximum speed, and no matter how fast it is, the boiler may have problems." The captain of the Paris Commune replied, shaking his head.

"Let the fleet fully rudder on the left and always use the side to face the enemy! Don't let the enemy take the T-shaped position! "Gorshkov is a veteran of the navy, so he naturally knows the danger of being overstepped by the other side.

He insisted on using his own side to face the enemy, and only in this way could the Soviet fleet hold out longer.

"Boom!" A shell fell on the far side of the battleship Paris Commune, stirring up a huge column of water.

Everyone who saw this water column swallowed a mouthful of saliva, if such a large shell really hit the battleship, I am afraid that the armor of that battle level will not be able to withstand it at all......

"At least a caliber of more than 350 mm...... The battlefleet of the Germans? Gorshkov thought to himself, confused.

Before he could think about it, a shell slammed into a Soviet cruiser, and the blow made the Soviet cruiser tremble.

A huge explosion enveloped the entire bridge of the cruiser at once, and then the cruiser began to roll on its side, and the large amount of water ingress completely paralyzed it in place, and it was only a matter of time before it sank.

After a dozen volleys, the Germans finally found their senses and hit the Soviet Navy ships with one shot, achieving the first result since the beginning of this naval battle.

Gorshekov looked bitterly at the sunken battleship in the distance, anxiously not knowing what to say.

If he turned around and fled now, the fate would be the same, from the moment his fleet was caught up, destruction was already a doomed end.

Now the thing he was thinking about was to bring as many German naval warships as possible to the funeral before his entire army was destroyed.

It's just that now it seems that he still underestimated the power of the world's naval powers, and the plan to bring German battleships to the funeral is just an unrealistic fantasy.

"Keep adjusting your course! Flank the enemy! Get ready to fire! He gritted his teeth and gave the order to continue fighting.

And just as he gave the order to continue the battle, the shells of the German Navy once again fell on the water near the formation of Soviet Navy ships, stirring up a column of water.
