Lin Youde clearly saw that the shells fired by his soldiers stirred up a large number of water columns around the British minesweepers.

One of the minesweepers immediately capsized and sank in the water, and the people on the minesweepers did not even have time to jump overboard. A few seconds after the ship capsized, Lin Youde saw someone float up from the water and swim towards the warship behind.

The Purple Quartz immediately returned fire on land, but because the German artillery was set on the anti-slope of the shore, the warships in the open channel could not directly confirm where the position was, so the British returned fire in a disorderly manner, and it seemed that it was just a random bombardment that might become the high ground of the artillery firing command post.

With the firepower of purple quartz, it is basically impossible to pull out the hidden artillery shooters on the hill, but it is impossible to say that the next two Roberts-class ships will join in.

At this time, the German artillery fire had overturned all the minesweepers, and Lin Youde also saw that the main guns of the Roberts class were rotating. The appearance of the Roberts class is very distinctive, and the main turret of the battleship class is mounted on a small hull, which looks strangely cute. Because the hull was much smaller than that of a typical battleship, it was impossible for the Roberts class to be equipped with a turret rotation device as powerful as a battleship, and the direct guide turret rotation speed was only a pitiful two degrees per second, and it took a full forty-five seconds to turn perpendicular to the hull axis.

However, it was a little different from what Lin Youde expected, Roberts actually had a secondary cannon, and Lin Youde knew very little about the Roberts class before the crossing, and he thought that this product only had one main cannon.

Now, while the main guns of the hull were spinning, the hull guns that looked like four inches (about a hundred millimeters) high were beginning to pour fire on the shore.

The two Roberts used only their broadside secondary guns to deliver a similar density of fire as the German artillery battalions.

At this time, the Purple Quartz burst into flames after being hit by a series of high-explosive shells, and the crew began to jump ship continuously, and the firepower of shooting towards the shore also weakened. So the German artillery began to turn their fire to the Roberts class, which was still trying to rotate the turret.

The first round of high-explosive shells fired a series of "salutes" on Roberts's broadside armor, and only one of Roberts's secondary guns, which was in front, was silent, and the other guns were still firing desperately.

After a round of rapid fire from the German artillery battalion, the two Roberts-class watches gave people a feeling of neither pain nor sourness.

At this time, Lin Youde saw that the German soldiers began to push the artillery that was originally hidden in the anticline up the dirt slope. Although the high ground chosen by Lin Youde was some distance from the nullah, this distance was simply not enough for the German artillery to use a parabola to throw armor-piercing shells over the dirt slope, so they had to resort to option B.

At the same time that the armor-piercing shell hit the Roberts class, the British apparently confirmed the position of the German artillery based on the muzzle flame from which they fired, and the fire for the return fire became concentrated.

Then Lin Youde saw Zhan Ji appear on the deck of the Roberts class.

It seems that there are not many battle queens on shallow water gunboats, and the battle queens all use lightweight magic armor. Lin Youde had long expected that there might be a war queen accompanying the incoming fleet, so he would bring Oh-chan over.

Seeing that the British army was about to start the thruster and jump to the shore, Lin Youde gently pinched Oh Chan's shoulder.

He didn't know if the little guy understood what he meant, but he was soon satisfied to see that the British warrior concubines had stopped preparing to jump, and instead assumed a defensive posture on the deck - they must have felt the divine queen-level magic fluctuations emanating from Oh-chan.

While the battle queens felt the abnormality, the Royal Navy officers and sailors on the shallow water heavy gunboats were still exchanging fire with all their might, and their main guns were about to turn into place.

"Let the artillery battalions retreat, no, let them drop their artillery and all their equipment and evacuate from their positions! The farther you run, the better! Their mission was to destroy the minesweeper, and this task was accomplished! ”

The signal corps immediately began to convey Lin Youde's orders.

But instead of retreating, the German units fired a second round of armor-piercing shells at the Roberts class.

It seems that this time a cannonball pierced Roberts's broadside armor, Lin Youde had the impression that Roberts was already a slow-moving cardboard thing for a small boat cannon, but obviously its defensive capability was much better than Lin Youde expected, the charge on the armor-piercing shell used in the 152 howitzer exploded in it and did not explode, and both Roberts maintained their combat effectiveness, but there were a few more smoking holes in the broadside armor.

"Damn, warships are really different from chariots or something."

As long as the chariot is penetrated, it will not die or be crippled. Of course, there is a magical tank in another time and space that does not affect the combat effectiveness if it is penetrated, that is, the small tank used by the Japanese army in another time and space, and the U.S. combat record once recorded the bizarre experience of the Sherman tank of the Marine Corps: they used armor-piercing shells to attack the counterattack Japanese tank brigade, but found that their weapons could not effectively stop the Japanese army, and it took a few rounds of shooting to paralyze a third of the Japanese tanks.

Later, they examined the wreckage of the Japanese tank and found that Sherman's armor-piercing shells directly penetrated the Japanese tank, although there were members injured, but the Japanese troops in the Banzai charge would not be intimidated by this casualty, so the surviving members continued to charge with the tank......

By the way, this small Japanese tank was once placed in the rear of the Sherman and carried back like a backpack, and this scene was also taken by a reporter accompanying the US military, and this photo later became a powerful argument against those who shouted that "Japanese tanks in World War II were not inferior to European and American products of the same period".

In fact, this is not to blame the Japanese, throughout World War II, in terms of technical strength, Japan may not be as good as Italy, they do stand on the same starting line with the great powers in some aspects, but the overall strength is still not good.

This gap in technological strength has a considerable impact on the army and navy.

For example, in this Midway, the Japanese always say that the five minutes of fate seem to be almost able to defeat the US military and rewrite history. However, this assertion is untenable in the Japanese military historians, and the War History Research Center of the Japanese Defense Agency, as the direct successor of the old Japanese army, has personally overturned this assertion.

They finally found the deck operation record of the Akagi, and only a few minutes before the US bomb dropped, the Akagi completed the operation of recovering the fleet's direct cover aircraft, and the aircraft carriers at that time were different from the later aircraft carriers, and if the aircraft was to be recovered, it was impossible to prepare an attack wave, and if there was an attack wave on the deck that was preparing to take off, it was impossible to recover the aircraft. Therefore, even if the Akagi started preparing the attack wave on the deck immediately after recovering the fleet cover, it would take thirty minutes to lift the entire attack wave to the deck to complete the preparation.

Why does it take so long?

Because of the lack of power of Japanese elevators, it took 40 seconds for the elevator on the latest Shozuru Mizuru at that time to lift an airplane to the deck, while the four ships sunk at Midway were all old ships that used old lifts, and it took more than a minute to lift an airplane.

What makes people even more speechless is that the elevator of Akagi Kaga is so old that if the 99 ship explosion with a large self-weight is hung up and then raised to the deck, it may lead to the failure of the elevator.

In addition, after the Japanese fleet at Midway Island was attacked, in fact, Chicheng and Wyvern could be rescued, but the fire was extinguished and finally exploded. And the fact that this fire could not be extinguished was also related to the poor overall technical strength of Japan at that time. At the beginning, the Japanese aircraft carriers used the same open hangar as the US aircraft carrier, but the Japanese lacked technical strength, and the strength of the open hangar was insufficient.

Then the Japanese couldn't make enough ventilation equipment at that time, and as a result, the air in the hangar was full of volatile aviation gasoline, and it was strange that the fire could be extinguished.

On the other hand, the American aircraft carrier, although the Americans' open hangar has also had some problems, but people have the technical strength to solve it, and as a result, the American aircraft carrier's hangar has always been open, and the air circulation is unusually good, and once it catches fire, those dangerous things in the hangar, such as full fuel planes and stacked ammunition, can immediately be pushed out through the door on the side of the hangar and thrown into the sea.

Another advantage of an open hangar is that U.S. aircraft can preheat their engines in the hangar, drive them up the elevator with their own power, drive them down on deck, and then drive them directly to the take-off position assigned to them. It was simply impossible for the Japanese aircraft carrier to warm up in the hangar, so it was necessary to push the aircraft onto the elevator by manpower, and then push it to the corresponding position on the flight deck.

Lin Youde suddenly found that he was accidentally distracted, and sure enough, one of the happiest things in this world was the Imperial Japanese Navy in another time and space.

After wielding away the innocently shot old Imperial Japanese Navy in his mind, Lin Youde refocused his attention on the battle on the surface of the nullah, and it was at this time that Roberts' 381 heavy gun fired.

This is the first time Lin Youde has really seen the shooting of the battleship's main guns, and the hurricane blowing from so far away makes Lin Youde's face hurt.

Then there was a sound behind Lin Youde that was no less than a loud cannon fire.

He jerked his head back, only to see a huge cloud of dust rising from the high ground where the artillerymen were—it was too big to describe how big it was.

"Good." Lin Youde heard someone around him say this.

At this time, Roberts fired again, and it seems that just now it fired only one barrel, and there was no double salvo.

Another cloud of dust rose from the artillery position.

Immediately after that, the Abbe Colombi also fired two shots in succession, and Lin Youde no longer dared to imagine the tragic situation on the high ground.

", I should have told them not to come with two shallow water heavy gunboats in advance......" Lin Youde said with great guilt.

As if to echo his words, a dull pop sounded in the nullah.

As soon as Lin Youde turned his head, he saw a huge column of water rising from the side of Roberts's ship.

The speed of the shallow gunboat did not slow down, so another muffled sound sounded again, and the explosion of two sinking mines in a row finally made Roberts begin to slow down, and then it hit a third mine.

Lin Youde could hear the mournful alarm bells coming from the battleship.

"Good!" Lin Youde clenched his fists hard, "Tell you to bombard my soldiers." ”
