Chapter 199: The End of Provoking the German Navy

Although it does not sound as majestic as the 380 mm and 406 mm naval guns, the 283 mm naval guns are the real backbone of German naval guns, and they have also made a lot of contributions in naval battles in later generations. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

For example, in the Battle of the Río de la Plata in 1939, the Count Spee encountered three British cruisers, and the German warships singled out three British warships, and the two sides fought a tie in the 82-minute naval battle, with three British ships and two heavy losses, and the Count Spee was also damaged by the British ships.

At the same time, the world's first and unique case of naval artillery sinking an aircraft carrier was also carried out by the 283mm SKC/34 naval guns on the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau.

This kind of naval gun, which has all-round advantages in range and rate of fire, is not afraid to fight cruisers that are more advanced than themselves, let alone cruisers that are lagging behind themselves.

After all, the German class, the final classification, is called pocket battleships! Hit a light cruiser, and get caught!

When the second round of shells fell, the Libertad couldn't hold on at all, especially when a 283 mm shell from the middle tribe directly blew the entire Libertad into two!

The sea poured in frantically, and in less than a minute, this flagship of the Spanish Republican Army was sunk!

The few remaining Spanish Republican Army warships are already confused.

Their flagship, which was easily killed in a sneak attack, and they simply did not have the ability to catch up with the warships to greet them!

They belong to the Trumenka-class destroyer, which is also the most equipped destroyer in the Spanish Navy, with a full load displacement of less than 2,000 tons, and belongs to the role of soy sauce.

If the Spanish battleships were still there, they might come up and fight the German class, but now, they can only rely on the air force, and only when the air force blows up the German class, they can come up and pinch the soft persimmon.

And now, the Germans are majestic, and they have killed their flagship! There is only one choice for the remaining warships, run, run as fast as you can, run as far as you can!

As a destroyer, they have a high speed and a boiler of more than 40,000 horsepower, which can accelerate this kind of warship to 36 knots, even if the hull is now old, it can easily soar to more than 30 knots.

The German class is driven by a diesel engine, the advantage of the diesel engine is fuel saving, and the disadvantage of the diesel engine is that the power is not high, at most it can only make the German class rush to 27.5 knots.

If they run, the German class behind them will not be able to catch up, the problem is that the warship is not a drag racing car on the ground, breaking 100 in ten seconds, and the acceleration of the warship is a slow process.

And this process is accompanied by death!

Just as the Deutschland was attacking the opponent's flagship, the Admiral Scheer, which had already sailed to the other side, also began to bombard!

If the naval artillery is directly opposite, or if it is now chasing from the tail, it can only give full play to the power of the artillery in front, and at the same time, the area of the bomb is small, and it is not easy to hit.

So, Admiral Scheer made a half-circle and came to the port side of the opposing side!

On the Admiral Scheer, the triple 283-mm naval guns of the main force in the front and rear were all turned to the right.

When they finished preparing for battle, the Deutsche had already hit the first shot, and the Spanish flagship was on fire, and the fire illuminated the sea, and the rest of the Spanish warships were quite clear.

Then, Admiral Scheer, opened fire violently!

What kind of scene is it with six 283-mm naval guns, firing together?

The firelight illuminated the entire warship, and a huge black smoke enveloped the Admiral Scheer, and a huge roar was literally a sound from hell!

When you see this scene, everyone will feel extremely spectacular, whether it is World War I or World War II, the duel of warships, the bombardment of naval guns, this is the most blood-pumping scene!

A person will feel his own insignificance, which is simply like the power of heaven and earth!

The entire sea surface is filled with the roar of naval guns, and the entire sea surface is shrouded in the fire of naval guns, and there is gunsmoke everywhere, which is the scene of the most fierce naval battle!

The Sanchez bore the brunt of the attack, it was right on the left side of the fleet, and although it was already ready to accelerate at the time of the first round of firing, it still did not dodge.

Two 283-mm shells accurately fell on this destroyer, which was less than two thousand tons, and one fell on the main gun in front, which smashed down two floors, detonating the ammunition inside, and on the surface of the sea, a huge flame burned again.

In the terrible firelight, several other Spanish warships, billowing black smoke from the chimneys, were constantly accelerating, and in this naval battle, they were simply slaughtered!

Their luck was good, at such a time, the sea, suddenly foggy!

There is a lot of water vapor on the sea surface, and in the second half of the night, fog is a phenomenon that is often seen, and this fog is the best cover!

If they can accelerate in time and retreat quickly, they will still be able to leave with high speed.

It's a pity that the Melilla, which was behind it, was unwilling to leave in such a gloomy way, and in the retreat, the two 120mm naval guns in the rear of it fired back at the Deutschland!

The sudden flash of light made Lukins extremely happy, originally, he was worried that the other party would take advantage of the fog to escape, who would have thought that the other party would actually shoot back as if he were dead!

The opponent's target is not high, and the shells are still dozens of meters away from their own! However, the fire of the opponent's artillery revealed their position!

At this moment, the two warships, the Deutschland and the Admiral Scheer, the 150-mm secondary guns, were fiercely firing back!

The caliber of this gun is small, and the weight of the turret is small, so it is easy to catch the fighter, turn quickly, and fire!

On the sea, there was another rumbling cannon sound, and in the sound of the cannon, the tracer bullet drew an arc and hit the opponent again!

It's a pity that the 150-mm shells are not powerful enough, they just hurt the other side!

Lukins was not entirely satisfied with the result.

Sink two of the opponent's main warships and let three go! I didn't have any injuries, which was pretty good in a night battle.

In addition to the tactical superiority, the high quality of the German Navy, which was perfectly demonstrated in this naval battle!

Relying on a sophisticated observation and sighting system, relying on skillful operation skills, and relying on the will to fight like a bayonet, they successfully sank each other! Avenge the sneak attack during the day!

Of course, that's not enough!

Let the republican junta know the fate of provoking the German Navy!
