The Soviets did not take the bait!

It is not so easy to bomb the ground from the air, and it is not the era when there is a global positioning system in later generations, as long as the coordinates of the other side are accurately known, you can carry out bombing, and this era must be discovered by sight.

And it is not difficult to hide the target, in history, the Soviets even hid the Kremlin, and German bombers flew over many times, but they just couldn't find it.

Even a target like the Kremlin can be hidden, let alone a mere shore defense artillery position, which is carefully camouflaged and cannot be found from the sky.

Even if the German pilots used the method of strafing the ground, they did not force them out, in short, they were not fooled, and even the anti-aircraft guns did not fire at the air, and they were not exposed at all.

This presented a difficult problem for the Germans.

"Commander, we can only force their shore defense artillery to open fire if we get close and bombard them with naval guns." Fredberg continued: "Now, we can only rely on our battleships, especially our Stuttgart, which is heavily armoured, and does not care about the 305mm guns of the other side, and when our battleships pass, they will definitely open fire." ”

I have long wanted to fight a vigorous naval battle, but unfortunately, in addition to training, I haven't let go of artillery in actual combat, how can this make Fredberg willing?

He's waiting for his chance, he's fighting for it.

Machar nodded: "Yes, it seems that if we don't send our main battleship, we can't induce the other party to open fire, in that case..."

Fredberg looked at Mashal with expectant eyes, but then, disappointed again.

"Order the Count Cavour, led by the Italian fleet, to shell the fortress of Sevastor." Mashal said.

Why are they good again? Suddenly, Fredberg was extremely disappointed, and he almost turned against Martial on the spot, but he suppressed it, of course he knew that Martial was better arranged.

Last time, I asked the Italian army to intercept a few Soviet warships, but they didn't stop them, these guys are too weak to be used as the main force at all, but you have to dig out their value, right? In that case, it would be nice to let them lure the enemy!

By the time they lure the enemy, it will definitely be their own Stuka who can go down and attack, so after so many days, their own naval guns have not had a chance to fire?

"General, we are firing outside the range of the other side, this is always okay, right? If you still don't agree, I'll go to Berlin and ask Führer Cirek for instructions that you intend to suppress us. Fredberg was also out of the question, and in the army, it was taboo to report to the higher ranks, but he did not hesitate to put it on as a tool to threaten Machar.

Can't this battle be over and your side has nothing to do, right?

As he spoke, Fredberg stood up, holding his waist straight, and at this moment, he did not hesitate to offend the person in front of him who was several levels higher than his rank.

What is the cow, if you don't give me a fight, I won't be convinced!

He was already ready how Machar would answer him with angry words, and who knows, Machar actually laughed: "Okay, then at the longest distance, well, sixty nautical miles, three salvos, how about it?" ”

Hearing the words sixty nautical miles, Fredberg was immediately disappointed.

Fredberg is to fire outside the range of the opponent, so that he can completely guarantee his own safety, the opponent's 305 mm naval guns, the maximum range is about 30 kilometers, in fact, in order to take care of the accuracy of hits, generally will not fire from 20 kilometers away.

Therefore, he planned to open fire from 20 kilometers away from the other side, so that with the telescope, he could see the spectacular scene of his own side firing and firing, and at the same time, it was also convenient for the artillery commander to correct the trajectory and strive to use his own naval guns to directly hit their shore defense guns and destroy the enemy's turrets.

But now, Mashal actually let him be sixty nautical miles away, sixty nautical miles, and he couldn't see anything! They just rose in the sea and sent up a few puffs of black smoke, and then, there was no more.

If it is an ordinary 460 naval gun, the ultimate firing range, that is, more than 40 kilometers, Germany can maintain a fairly high accuracy at this distance by relying on the spirit of excellence and the means of outstanding craftsmen.

In this era, no one would have imagined that the range of naval guns would be up to hundreds of nautical miles, but for Germany, this was not much of a problem.

This is the rocket range extender projectile, and when it was on the Graff, the 283-millimeter naval guns fired their own shells hundreds of nautical miles, successfully shocking American transport ships.

And on the Stuttgart, of course, there is also this kind of rocket range extender projectile, which has no problem hitting a hundred nautical miles, but the effect is much worse, because a large number of the warhead of the rocket extended-range bomb is solid rocket fuel, and the mass of the warhead is constantly reduced in flight, and there is no normal armor-piercing projectile to fight at all.

Not to mention sixty nautical miles, this is also because the distance between one's own side and the other party's fortress is now sixty nautical miles, and if it is farther, Machar will definitely say a greater distance.

"Five volleys, let's fire first." Fredberg still compromised, and he could only fight for it now. He was still waiting for Mashal to disagree, but as a result, Mashal just said lightly: "Okay, promise you." ”

Suddenly, Fredberg was stunned, and then he understood that he was being tricked by Machar again, and the shooting of his own naval guns, although it would waste the life of precious naval guns, was also a means of demonstrating to the Soviets.

Since Machar had agreed, he was simply not ambiguous: "Attention, turret No. 1, turret No. 2, turret No. 3, maximum charge, extended-range projectile, target, sixty nautical miles away, Gorky No. 1 battery in the fortress of Sespol, give me your ability!" Shoot the plane and take off now! ”

Now he doesn't have to move at all, he can just fire right here here!

As for the warships of the Italians, it will take at least an hour to get close to the range of the Soviets' shore defense guns, and they themselves will not have to wait that long, their own naval guns are already hungry and thirsty.

In the bridge, Fredberg gave battle orders one by one, and he didn't bother with Machar on the side at all, what were you afraid of, just now Machar made it clear and agreed to fire first, don't think that you are always being toyed with!

With his order, the entire warship began to move, entering the most exciting moment before the battle.
