"Whoosh...... Rumble! Rumble!! "Bombardment ......" was in the style of the Army, and the Navy launched a covering rocket attack on the Japanese fleet at the beginning of the war.

Unlike the Army's 107 Tiger Roar, the Navy is armed with 300mm large rockets. They are equipped with special nests that are square in shape, with three doors on each ship and twelve rockets each.

"Boom! Rumble!! "Boom ......" When the earth-shattering explosion sounded in the group of ships, the Japanese finally noticed the looming Wehrmacht ships.

It has to be said that the rockets are extremely concealed when launched. It was too far away for the Japanese to even hear the sound of rockets being fired, but unfortunately it was troublesome to reload the rockets. It can only be a one-time attack.

"Boom! Rumble!! Rumble... Chapter 746: The Wreak of the War Eagles and the Debut of the Navy (Middle)..."The rocket hit the surface of the sea and exploded the columns of water!" It also hit some Japanese ships, but only caused heavy damage to the two light cruisers Kuma and Tama. The rest suffered minor injuries. In the face of the heavy armor of the battleship, the rockets still lacked penetration.

"Boom, boom, boom...... but the Navy's tactics are more than that, and the shelling begins immediately after the rockets are fired! Against the Japanese warships, the navy was a crazy salvo!

"Enemy attack! Shelling, evasion!! A terrible shout rang out on the Japanese warship, but unfortunately it was too late. The cannon sounded, and the air-piercing shells slammed into the Japanese battleship!

Perhaps blessed by the unwilling heroic spirits of the navy of the past dynasties, one of the first round of artillery fire of the Wehrmacht directly hit the Kongo, one of the main heavy patrols of the Japanese army!

"Boom!!" With a loud bang, the entire King Kong was directly blown into two! Scattered pieces of corpses and parts, steel scattered in mid-air, crackled and fell to the water.

The Kongo can be considered the first Japanese dreadnought in the so-called dreadnought era. It was built by the British Vickers Company, and construction began on January 17, 1911, and at the same time, Japan sent relevant technicians Chapter 746 Warhawk Wrath and Navy Debut (Middle) to British shipyards to learn construction techniques.

It was launched on May 18, 1912, completed on August 16, 1913, and returned to Japan on November 5.

Although the Kongo was a battle cruiser, it still retains the light armor design and manufacturing structure of decades ago. In the face of large-caliber shells falling at a large angle in long-range artillery battles, the defense was even weaker.

The Japanese Navy apparently recognized this problem as well, and carried out a complete refit of the Kongo, although it strengthened its defenses during the first major refit, but it was still inadequate. The Kongo was extremely weak compared to later battleships in terms of overall defense and armor on deck.

Therefore, the four twin 15-inch (381 mm) guns of the Jiawu were enough to tear the King Kong apart as long as they hit. In fact, after being hit, the King Kong was brutally blown up in two and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.

"Red Okanoro!! How dare these damn dolphins fire at our Imperial Navy with artillery?! Order everyone to return fire at once!! "As soon as Nan Yunzhong saw that his heavy patrol was sunk, he went crazy on the spot!

His crazy orders were also faithfully carried out by the Chief of Staff Hero Yano, who knew what would happen to him and others if he lost the Kongo, but returned to Japan with any results.

When the order was issued, the Japanese Navy's heritage and execution power were seen. In the face of a helpless air force, even the largest naval guns could not give them the ability to fight back.

Passive beatings cause a decline in morale. But what happened to the Kongo made the eyes of the entire Japanese Navy red! After the Russo-Japanese naval war, the Japanese Navy has never suffered such a big loss!

However, he saw that those sailors braved the fire of the Wehrmacht Air Force under the command of their respective officers, and quickly entered their own gun positions. With the sound of the turret turning with a "click, click, ......", the Japanese naval guns quickly aimed at the Wehrmacht navy.

"Fire!!" There was an angry roar from the First Sino-Japanese Ship, but the 381mm naval gun could be heard "Boom!!" With a roar, the First Wu once again launched a salvo at the Japanese army.

But this salvo did not achieve the same good effect as last time. The shells exploded a column of water on the side of the Mutsu, but it did not hurt the Mutsu.

"Boom!!" At this time, the Japanese also completed their first salvo, and the shells grazed the air and pounced on the Wehrmacht battleships, blowing up countless columns of water but not hurting the naval battleships.

Basically, there are two concepts for a salvo. The basic concept is that all the guns are fired at once.

The special term salvo in naval artillery refers to the simultaneous firing of all the main guns of a battleship at the designated target with a unified firing element under unified fire control.

In the terminology there are full salvos and half salvos, as well as interactive fire, etc. A full salvo is used with all the main guns. The half-salvo is fired in half, and the cross-fire is to avoid firing interference with the combined main gun, and the firing time is staggered according to the number of guns of the combined main gun.

Dispersion area, due to long-distance shelling, wind direction and earth rotation and other factors interfere greatly with the projectile impact, so the projectile impact will form a dispersion area.

The long-range shelling of a battleship was an effort to keep the enemy in the area of the impact of its own artillery. And when a salvo envelops the enemy ship in the area where the projectiles are scattered, and the enemy ship is in between the two rounds, it is called straddle fire.

This means that the enemy ship has been targeted, and all that remains is to pray for luck and make some hits.

Therefore, in the era of artillery and giant ships, luck was very important in naval battles. Luck is gone, it's really useless no matter how big the guy is. The Wehrmacht Navy had great luck at the start of the war, and the first salvo hit the Japanese warship.

It even hit the ammunition depot, which led to the sinking of the Kongo. This kind of luck is as rare as buying two two-color balls in a row and winning the jackpot.

The point to be explained here is this: the salvo of the battleship was not a salvo in the true sense of the word.

Although a battleship could fire a salvo, in fact no battleship ever actually fired a salvo. In order to avoid mutual interference with the air flow during the flight of the shells, in fact, there will be extremely small intervals in the firing time of each gun.

In the case of the famous Japanese Yamato, in order to avoid interference, there was an interval of three thousandths of a second between the firing of each gun on the Yamato.

The main reason why the battleship did not fire a salvo was that the interference of the flight of the shells and the huge recoil force during the salvo further affected the stability of the platform, although the hull of the battleship could fully withstand the salvo of its own artillery.

Judging from the current war situation, the Wehrmacht Navy still has a great advantage. First, they sank a Japanese battlecruiser in the first volley.

And in the sky above the Japanese warships, there were constant attacks by the Wehrmacht Air Force. Although the machine guns and airborne machine guns were limited in their lethality to the battleship, they greatly hindered the coordination of the Japanese forces.

At the same time, the first salvo of rockets from the Air Force also caused a large number of casualties, so that the Japanese army was now undermanned.

"Boom!!" With the roar of artillery, the Japanese army finally opened the first victory! They hit the Jiawu Trumpet, and Shen Honglie fell to the ground in a violent shake!

His head was smashed, and blood poured out at once!

"Commander!!" The chief of staff's eyes were red, but Shen Honglie stood up and roared while holding on to the wound on his head: "I'm fine!" Hang the flag to other ships: The national shame is not settled, are you slacking?! ”

"Yes!!" The chief of staff replied loudly, turned and trotted out to order the sailors to send flags to the other ships.

The flagship was damaged, which did not dampen the morale of the Navy. On the contrary, it provoked the anger of the entire fleet, and the anger turned to attack! The fleet maintained a formation and fired at the Japanese continuously.

After all, the Japanese Navy had a wealth of experience in actual combat, and while they were fighting, they tried to cross the Wehrmacht naval fleet from the front and occupy the "T" firing array to attack.

Unfortunately, the Wehrmacht's naval fleet was too weak, and with only six battleships, it was impossible to completely block the Japanese movement. This led to the gradual disadvantage of the Navy's fleet.

The ships of both sides were entangled, constantly swinging back and moving back to seize the attack point and launch an attack.

"Boom!!" The Japanese Furutaka Light Patrol was hit, and bursts of flames erupted. Then a loud bang was heard, and the Furutaka exploded directly on the sea, and the entire battleship was blown up into flames.

There were screams from the ship, and the Ancient Eagle had been scrapped. It could no longer maintain the formation and lost its combat effectiveness. After a series of loud noises, it slowly sank towards the bottom of the sea.

At this time, the Japanese fleet finally grabbed the T-position, and they quickly reorganized their formation and fired a salvo at the Wehrmacht Navy!

"Boom, boom, boom......" One of the main ships of the Wehrmacht Navy, the Omaha-class light cruiser Qinhuangdao, was hit, and the skyrocketing fire burst into flames!

And at the same time, there was also the Qingdao. The situation of the Qingdao was even more serious than that of the Qinhuangdao, and the side of the ship that was hit exploded a huge opening, and the naked eye could see that the sea water was constantly pouring in while the ship was slowly sinking.

"Flag Message!! The Wehrmacht will not retreat from the battle, and if this battle is lost, our navy will die!! Seeing the situation of the two warships, Shen Honglie's eyes were red! He yelled at his lieutenant.

"Tell the brethren! In the martyrs' cemetery, I, Shen Honglie, have reserved a place for myself! If you don't win, see you in our martyrs' cemetery! ”

The adjutant gritted his teeth, turned around and ran out. He has followed Shen Honglie for many years and knows how much his commander loves the navy. For the sake of the Navy, his own commander broke his heart.

All the brothers on the ship, he was able to name them. The two Omaha-class light cruisers that were beaten to pieces have been washed by his own commander countless times.

But the lieutenant knew better what the war meant for the Navy!!
