This is not the Tomahawk missile of later generations, it is said that it will hit the left window, but it will definitely not hit the right window, and the error accuracy is calculated in meters.

The naval guns of this era, with only a mechanical firing commander, can hit the target is good, and in order not to damage the main structure of the opponent's hull, their elevation angles are quite high, and they will definitely not hit the hull.

Either hit the bridge, or a long-range bomb.

There was no doubt that most of the shells missed, but one still hit!

This 283-mm armor-piercing shell hit the chimney in the middle of the bridge!

Whether it is a coal-fired boiler or a heavy oil boiler, it requires a thick chimney, and when accelerating the drive, the black smoke emitted can be seen clearly from more than ten kilometers away.

Even some cruise ships will deliberately build some tall windows, forming a unique beauty of this era.

The steel warhead at the front end of the armor-piercing bullet directly penetrated the weak steel plate of the chimney, and then, in the copper barrel weighing 47.5 kilograms, 42.5 kilograms of explosives, a violent explosion occurred.

"Boom!" A huge explosion sounded, and with this explosion, shrapnel flew in all directions, and the high pressure generated by the explosion directly tore the chimney completely!

The chimney is one with the bridge, and when the chimney is blown up, it means that the bridge is also blown up!

As the explosion sounded, several sailors fell in the cabin of the bridge next to the chimney, screaming.

At the same time, when the chimney is blown open, the smoke in the chimney no longer rises along the chimney, but goes in all directions!

When the entire thick smoke enveloped the bridge, a panic began to spread in the hearts of the entire French sailors.

The bridge is finished, the senior commanders are finished, the remaining sailors, what to do?

Deck operations, stopped again, in fact, in their hearts, they had already thought of it, and now it is useless to release carrier-based aircraft! At this distance, the naval guns are important.

"What are you panicking about? Keep cheering me up, we haven't lost yet! On the bridge, General Laborde shouted loudly.

The black smoke was filled, making people cough involuntarily, but there was no pain on their bodies, indicating that they were all alive.

And at this time, General Laborde is still very calm, and as a veteran, he will not leave his post at such a time!

Haven't lost yet!

Laborde's self-confidence infected everyone, and the captain of the ship, Colonel Geralty, also shouted: "Carry out damage control, report quickly, carrier-based aircraft, continue to take off!" ”

Keep flying carrier-based aircraft! Let the Germans know how good they are!

The broadcast system was still intact, and Colonel Gerali's order spread throughout the ship, and suddenly, they were ready to continue the battle.

But the Germans won't give them a chance!

The humiliation of the Treaty of Versailles was imprinted in the minds of every German, who had been in rigorous training, and they moved quite quickly, almost as soon as the first salvo was completed, and then quickly reloaded the second.

Each cannon requires 12 people to operate.

A porter moves the front-end ammunition to the loafers, while the main ammunition is transported by a chute and a pulley. (Large-caliber naval guns are all divided into two parts, and the warhead and cartridge are two parts.) ）

The left gun lifter sent the shells between the left and middle guns, and the other two guns sent the shells between the middle and right guns. The mid-gun auxiliary launcher sends the ammunition behind the middle gun to the breech via a tiltable canister, while the two-wing auxiliary launcher sends the ammunition to the side rear of the two cannons, where it is delivered by a cable device.

All this proceeded quite quickly, and it only took ten seconds to complete the second reloading, and then the muzzle of the gun began to rise, and according to the angle set by the gun commander, it stabilized.

"Fire!"

When the signal was given that the reload was complete and the aim was complete, Colonel Landsdorf did not hesitate to order another fire!

In the violent roar, the black smoke from the burning of the propellant enveloped the entire battleship of the Count Spee, and the nine armor-piercing shells fired in the second salvo flew towards the opposite side!

The advantage of the aircraft carrier lies in the long-range strike of the carrier-based aircraft, the aircraft carrier is definitely not fighting bayonets at sea, and in this situation, the German battleships are simply pressing the other side to fight!

On the bridge, the senior officers of the French Navy were still struggling in the black smoke, they blocked the opening behind the explosion, and the smoke on the bridge only decreased slightly, and almost at the same time as they could see the object, the second salvo of shells from the other side flew in.

"Whoa!" The glass on the bridge suddenly shattered, and almost everyone's pupils widened, looking at the huge armor-piercing bullet, almost grazing the edge of their own bridge!

I'm afraid it's only a few centimeters away! When the warhead flies by, the air pressure brought by it immediately shatters all the glass!

Fortunately, there were no hits!

Laborde's face turned pale in an instant, and he had already thought of the other party's purpose.

The opponent shot a long shot, and it was definitely not that the opponent's aiming was wrong, but that the opponent did it on purpose!

The Germans didn't want to sink their own battleship, they just wanted to capture their own intact, that is, the other side already knew the secret of their own warship!

What to do?

The opponent has been firing at its own bridge, and if the bridge is destroyed, the aircraft carrier will lose its ability to maneuver, at least the steering gear will not be able to operate.

The Germans fought with this idea, as long as the bridge was destroyed, there was no second way for their side except to be captured, but this was absolutely not possible.

Even if the ship is sunk, it will not be cheap for the Germans.

"Jeralry, I command you, if necessary, to open the water gate at the bottom and let our warship sink itself." General Laborde said.

As a naval officer, the battleship is the sustenance of his life, when facing the risk of being captured, he would rather sink himself than cheapen the other party, which is almost the practice of many naval officers and men, and the most chic is the German Navy at the end of World War I, which is called a beautiful.

And now, they have to!

Colonel Gerary nodded: "Understood, General. ”

Knowing the preciousness of the goods they were transporting, Gerary had preferred to sink themselves rather than be captured by the Germans, and now they were determined to die.

At this time, on the deck, the second carrier-based aircraft was already preparing to take off, sinking itself, just the worst, they still have hope!

The personnel on the deck, still nervously busy, at this time, the third salvo of the Germans began again!

How fast was the rate of fire of German naval guns? Three to five rounds per minute, absolutely no problem!

"Boom!" With a fierce killing machine, the 283 mm shells flying at a speed of 890 meters per second are about to strike the most lethal blow at the French battleship!
