When the German fleet pressed up, the entire Red Banner Baltic Fleet was stunned.

The bombers in the sky were terrible, but there were not enough bombers, and if the Germans flew dozens of bombers, they would be able to destroy their fleet.

And now, one pair of hands can be counted, and the scattered bombers are all going to deal with large targets, and they can't look down on small targets at all.

On one side of the formation, a Tashkent-class destroyer immediately fired at full speed, trying to squeeze towards the narrow channel.

The Tashkent-class destroyer is also evidence of the friendship between Germany and the Soviet Union, because this class of destroyers was completely built by the Germans, and the Soviet Union used agricultural products and iron ore in exchange for Germany.

The performance of this destroyer was quite good, the German-made warships were much more refined than the Soviet ones themselves, and thanks to the excellent engine performance, the battleship could soar to a high speed of 42 knots.

It had been at the back of the fleet, but now, at full speed, it moved forward quickly, overtaking one warship after another, crowding into the channel inside the bell mouth, and passing over the sunken Marat.

The German warships came up, only through the waterway, can be absolutely safe, the Germans can not quickly pass through here, this side of the waterway, is the passage of life and death.

Anyway, there is no commander of the fleet to command now, and it is not a violation for them to flee like this.

Black smoke rose from the chimney at the top, and the Tashkent-class destroyers moved quickly towards the channel, drawing displeasure from the surrounding ships.

"No, stop, you idiot!" On the cruiser Kirov, the captain Alexandrov shouted: "The depth of the channel is only twenty meters, and you will hit the sunken Marat!" ”

As an experienced cruiser captain, Aleksandrov knew that the intention of the German attack was to block the shipping lane, but he did not expect that there would be people on his own side to aggravate this chaos.

The water depth of the channel is insufficient, and the Marat has sunk, but if you look closely, you can see that the Marat has almost just passed, and if you start to move at this time, it will be like hitting a reef, and it will hit the Marat.

"No, we'll go over from the side." The captain of the Tashkent-class said: "Right rudder one, let's go around." ”

"Boom!" At this moment, a heavy crash was heard, and the bow of the ship had already hit the tail propeller of the Marat.

The Marat was blown up and sunk in two sections, the tail was raised, and the propeller was almost at a depth of about a meter under the water, and now, the bow of the ship hit at a speed of more than 40 knots, and it could not withstand such a blow at all, and the bow was knocked open a large hole.

Just when they were scrambling to escape, over there, the German fleet had already begun the first round of shooting, and no one saw that in the distant sky overhead, the ship-borne seaplanes flew over, which were responsible for the task of artillery firing.

The Scharnhorst, a highly decorated warship that had sunk the British aircraft carrier in a naval battle, was now on another mission to destroy the Soviets' Baltic Fleet.

On the bridge, Captain Claude looked at the Soviet battleship in the distance with joy in his eyes.

"The target, the Soviet cruiser directly ahead, after the test launch, two salvos." The orders given by Captain Claude were quite detailed.

Before becoming the captain of the ship, he was the gun commander of this warship, how to control the warship's cannons, he was most familiar with, and now, they are heading towards the Soviet warship, fifteen nautical miles away.

If it was in a fast pursuit, the accuracy of the shelling at this distance would not be very high, but now it is different.

The warships of the Soviets are gathering towards the narrow channel, but unfortunately the channel has been blocked, so those warships can only stay there, so it is like waiting in line to be shot.

When they decided to attack with the main force and solve the problem with naval guns, the commander of the fleet ordered the aviation to destroy the shore artillery positions, which was a rather wise decision.

For them, the current Soviet Baltic Fleet, that is, a piece of fat, waiting for them to go out of their mouths, the only threat is shore artillery positions.

At the same time, they are now shooting at a distance of fifteen nautical miles, and there is also such a consideration, although the maximum caliber of the shore guns of the Soviets is 305 mm, but those shore guns have been too long, they are the guns of Krupp decades ago, and this kind of artillery no longer has the ability to attack from a long distance.

Now, the warship is still sailing forward, so it uses the four 380 mm naval guns in front, at this time, the naval guns in the middle of the No. 1 turret are pulled up at an elevation angle, and then, with a loud bang, a puff of black smoke fills the entire warship.

The test launch of the first one has already begun.

With a sharp whistling, the shells flew towards the Soviet battleship opposite.

The 380-mm naval guns were used against the enemy's battleships of tens of thousands of tons, and now they are used to fight cruisers with a displacement of less than 10,000 tons.

What's even more terrifying is the high precision of this naval gun, which used to be at 25,135 meters, in dynamic shooting, there was a record of hits, and now, its first test shell is even more amazing.

The target is stationary.

The Soviet fleet, there is no way back.

In front, the German fleet formed an arc and formed an encirclement, towards Kronstadt, and within their encirclement, near the waterway, were the warships of the Soviets, large and small, nearly twenty of them, and there they were trembling.

At this time, if the Baltic Fleet has enough courage, they can actually rush out.

The encirclement of the Germans had terrible battleships and thick gun barrels that made people's hearts numb, but at the same time, they also had destroyers and frigates, and their half-circle encirclement had many weak points.

At this time, if they made up their minds and fought to the death, they could break out of some of them, and even save half of the battleships.

But they didn't, they just leaned on the fairway, hoping to drive these terrible German fleets away by the shore artillery swarms.

It's like a group fight in school, a group of people surround a few junior brothers, and the rest are beaten.

The first shell, piercing the air and making a terrible hiss, was so concentrated in the Soviet fleet that although it hit the target cruiser far away, it did hit the Tashkent-class destroyer in front of it, which was blocking the fairway.

"Boom!"
