The range of 406 mm naval guns has been able to reach more than 40 kilometers, and at such a distance, it is difficult to visually detect the target. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Therefore, on the battleships, seaplanes were equipped, which were mainly used to guide the battleship's naval artillery attacks.

And now, on the ocean, the huge battleship Bismarck is receiving reconnaissance signals from its own seaplanes.

"Attention, all 406 naval guns, loaded with shells." The captain of the ship, Admiral Liedman, gave the order.

Reload the shells!

Bismarck, since the completion of construction, the naval guns have not been fired in a salvo, after all, the naval guns have a body tube life, and they will be scrapped after a few hundred rounds.

And this time, it's just in time!

Inside the triple turret, the automatic loader is busy, and the huge shells and cartridges are loaded into the chamber in turn.

Then, the turret rotated slowly.

Unlike in history, the Bismarck's naval guns were changed to 406 mm caliber, and at the same time, the number has also changed, previously there were four twin turrets, and now, there are three triple turrets.

There were two in front and one in the back, and all the turrets were turning towards the right side of the warship, and the black hole muzzles were aimed at the land dozens of kilometers away in the distance.

"Gun No. 1, test firing." Lindemann shouted loudly.

"Boom!"

With his order, the 406-mm naval gun in the middle of the No. 1 turret in the bow of the ship let out a huge roar, and with the sound of the cannon, a large ball of flame appeared at the muzzle, and in the front of the flame, a high-explosive warhead weighing several hundred kilograms appeared at the front end of the flame, and flew forward quickly!

As the flames slowly dispersed, smoke enveloped the entire battleship.

This is a test shot, and it's so frustrating!

The shell made a graceful trajectory in the air and flew towards the British fleet headquarters on Meenland Island, south of Kirkwall.

"Boom!" The shell landed in the open space not far from the headquarters, which was a basketball court, and when the bomb fell, the whole ground seemed to have a big earthquake.

With the sound of a huge explosion, a shock wave was transmitted, and everywhere it went, the cement on the ground flew up one after another, and the ground in the distance also cracked.

When the smoke of the shells dispersed, a large crater with a diameter of several meters appeared in the middle of the entire basketball court, and if there were people on this basketball court, it would definitely not survive!

In the sky, the reconnaissance plane was visually inspecting the impact point, and then sent a command to the Bismarck, deviating from the target by a hundred meters, increasing the elevation angle by one degree, and deviating from the left by two dense positions!

The power of the 406 mm naval gun is quite against the sky, and at the same time, every cannon cannot be wasted, as now, use a shell to test fire, after confirming the impact point, the next time, it will cover the blow!

All the barrels were erected, and this sight of the Bismarck was quite spectacular.

"Boom!" The remaining eight gun barrels, firing together, could not hear the sound of the intervals, although there was actually a sequence, however, only one sound was heard.

This sound made everyone's eardrums tremble, and within a few minutes, the ears were buzzing.

Almost at the same time, at the muzzle of the gun, a blazing flame appeared, and the flames of the eight naval guns instantly stained the right side of the warship red, extending dozens of meters forward! If you count the volume, the volume covered by these flames is larger than the entire Bismarck.

At the same time, the firing of the naval guns led to a huge recoil, and the Bismarck, which had a full load displacement of up to 50,000 tons, could not withstand such a recoil and was pushed sideways to the left by more than a meter!

On the right side of the warship, there is a splash, showing the huge lateral movement of the battleship, if the displacement of the warship is not enough, the side salvo can even overturn the entire warship.

The flames that came out, which lasted for more than ten seconds at sea before disappearing, turned into black smoke that surrounded the entire Bismarck, and in front of the flames, huge grenades, flew forward.

The target, that is, the fleet base of the British!

"Boom!" With the test firing just now, this salvo was quite high, and a shell accurately hit the main building in the British fleet base, the four-story command building.

The building, which had withstood the bombardment of the Stuka bombers, was in ruins, but it was still standing, and now, this shell, completely changed the fate of the building.

When the explosion occurred, only the middle of the building was visible, with a wave of heat coming out, and then, as if it were a directional blast, it collapsed from top to bottom, like dominoes.

After the explosion, the entire building, no longer had any skeletons standing, and all of them turned into flat ruins, just bulging up from the ground on the side!

"Boom!" A cannonball hit a barracks next to the building, and in the explosion, the tents in the barracks, like leaves in a typhoon, were all lifted up in an instant! The air waves spread dozens of meters away!

One shell after another, falling from the sky, the reconnaissance plane in the sky, calmly reported to the rear: "The entire headquarters has been destroyed." ”

With one salvo, more than 30 Stuka bombers did not blow up the headquarters were all blown to the ground, and this is the power of 406 mm naval guns!

Lindemann was quite satisfied, since the start of the war, his main battleship has not yet exerted its might, and now, a salvo destroys the opponent's headquarters, which can be regarded as a good record.

However, Ruttejens on the side was obviously not satisfied.

It was a shame for any German navy, and the original Operation Rainbow made this the grave of the German fleet, and now, the naval guns have only completed a salvo, how is this enough?

"Aim for Kirkwall, second salvo." Lütjens said.

Hearing this, Lindemann was stunned, Kirkwall, that's the city, fire at the city, isn't this hitting civilians?

Kirkwall is a city, but it is not an ordinary city, it can be said that the important purpose of the existence of this city is to serve the British naval fleet.

Now, it's about bombing their city!

Not to mention that war is for the military, and it has nothing to do with civilians, this kind of nonsense that only the most naïve pacifist would believe.

What are the soldiers doing in the front, in the rear? In the army to the front line artificial weapons, grow food! At the end of World War II, Allied bombers still bombed major cities in Germany.

Now, to beat them Kirkwall, is to let them know that the German navy is already strong, and the British must submit!

Although Lindemann was the captain, Lütjens was the commander, and Lindemann wanted to listen to Lütjens, so he gave the order: "Reload, high-explosive bombs, reconnaissance aircraft, indicate the target." ”
