Off the coast of Le Havre, five 'Deutsch-class' battleships and five 'Braunschweig-class' battleships of the German Navy, guarded by many small and medium-sized warships, lined up and aimed at Le Havre with their side sides, so as to be able to bring out the maximum firepower of the battleships.

On the flagship battleship 'Deutschland', Richter? Major General Fils is observing Le Havre with a telescope. He could clearly see that a large number of officers and men of the British Expeditionary Force were fleeing from the coast towards the city. A large number of sailors are also fleeing from the various ships that were originally moored at the dock. It is clear that they were all afraid of being shelled by these battleships of the German Navy.

Previously, the British, relying on the strength of their fleet, shelled the German army attacking Le Havre. Now, it's their turn.

"It's a pity that I didn't make it in time. The guys in the carrier-based aircraft unit were so quick to kill more than 20 battleships and 13 armored cruisers of the British! "Richter? Major General Phils looked regretful.

When the main fleet had other tasks, these former dreadnoughts, which were supposed to carry out coastal defense, finally came in handy. Originally, Richter? Rear Admiral Phils also thought that he might be able to have a showdown with the British Navy against the former dreadnoughts. But alas, before they could reach the battlefield, the battle was over. The British fleet, under the attack of the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft forces, was killed and disarmed, and all the former dreadnoughts and armored cruisers were sunk. So much so that after they made a long detour, they were unable to catch anything.

Of course, if there is no carrier-based aircraft force to attack. When the German fleet arrived, it was not necessarily a match for the British fleet. After all, they only have ten ex-dreadnoughts. The British, on the other hand, had 21 ex-dreadnoughts and 13 armored cruisers. The numerical gap between the two sides is too great. Even the warships of the German Navy were superior in terms of performance. But if you want to win, it's not that easy.

"Order all ships to be ready to open fire!" Richter? Major General Fils ordered.

Since their desire to fight a duel with the British fleet with the dreadnoughts could no longer be realized, they could only carry out their original mission and provide fire support to the army attacking Le Havre.

"Yes, General."

The main guns of the ten battleships, which began to rotate, were aimed at Le Havre. Since there was no clear target, they only had to fire the shells into the city of Le Havre. The power of large-caliber naval guns is very strong, and it will tear all enemies to pieces.

"In addition, send a telegram to the 1st and 8th Army Corps of the Army, and our shelling will begin immediately. If necessary, they can designate targets for shelling. "Richter? Major General Fils continued.

After all, their mission this time was to provide fire support to the army attacking Le Havre. Naturally, then, the primary goal should be to meet the needs of the Army.

"Yes, General."

"Boom! Rumble! "The twin 280-mm guns of the battleship 'Deutschland' were the first to fire. Immediately afterwards, the seven 170-mm secondary guns on the side also began to roar. Cannonballs whistled towards Le Havre.

Because they were attacking land targets, these cannons fired high-explosive shells.

Nine other battleships followed suit and attacked. One by one, the warships began to roar. Explosions resounded throughout the sea.

"Whew! Shout! Shout! ”

One cannonball after another, whistling towards Le Havre. The cannonballs flew in the air at high speeds, rubbing violently against the air, resulting in a high-pitched, piercing whistling sound.

"Oh God! The battleships of the Germans opened fire. Run! ”

The officers and men of the British Expeditionary Force in the city of Le Havre turned pale with fright, and fled in all directions like headless flies.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Heavy shells smashed into the city of Le Havre. A violent explosion sounded, and a terrifying shock wave swept in all directions, destroying everything around.

Originally, in the previous fire preparation of the German army, Le Havre was almost blown into ruins. Later, the heavy shelling of the British fleet once again destroyed the eastern part of Le Havre. The target of the German fleet was now the western part of Le Havre. It has become an important gathering place for the British Expeditionary Force.

"Boom!" A 280-mm shell exploded, leaving a huge crater in the ground. The streets, which had already become dilapidated, were completely destroyed. The British Expeditionary Force stationed in this area suffered even heavier losses.

"Oh God!"

A British soldier saw his company hit by a shell. When the explosion disappeared, the entire company was gone. All were blown to pieces.

"Hell, this is hell!" The British soldier shouted in horror. Then he stumbled and fled into the distance. However, before he could run two steps, a shell exploded right next to him. Then, he disappeared in the explosion.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Violent explosions continued to sound in the city of Le Havre, and the officers and men of the British Expeditionary Force were blown to pieces in the explosion. Their losses began to skyrocket.

"Damn the Germans! I'd rather they attack and fight them than be killed in a shelling like this. A British Expeditionary Force officer yelled angrily.

It's just that they seem to have forgotten. When the Germans attacked Le Havre, the British fleet launched a heavy artillery bombardment, which caused heavy losses to the Germans. And at that time, how elated and cheering they were. Applaud the British fleet for the massacre of German soldiers.

However, it was only so long that everything was reversed again. The British fleet was almost completely wiped out under the blows of the carrier-based aircraft forces of the German Navy. The German fleet then arrived and began shelling them with naval guns. They also finally tasted the pain and despair of the German army when it was shelled by the British fleet.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Several 170-mm shells fell in quick succession, and a British position was covered by artillery fire. When the smoke cleared, the entire position was gone. The 170 mm secondary gun, although not as powerful as the 280 mm main gun, is still not something that ordinary infantry positions can withstand.

The German army's tactics of retaliating for a tooth began to make the British expeditionary force pay an unbearable price.
