This is probably the most interesting naval battle in human history, when both sides have aircraft carriers, and in the end, the battleships are engaged in artillery battles to determine the winner. When the navies of both sides raised their chimney-thick barrels at the farthest distance, the last cry of the old navy echoed over the Atlantic Ocean and lasted for a long time.

"Fire!" On the bridge, the British Royal Navy artillery commander pinching the phone finally gave the order for the fleet to open fire, and then the 380mm guns on the battleship Villain let out their own terrible roar just seconds later.

This salvo was in fact not yet complete for the British naval fleet, so the battleship Villain ended up firing with only 4 main guns. However, this time the roar was still earth-shattering, making the British sailors who were looking forward to the decisive battle of the sea cannons cheer excitedly.

They had waited far too long, from the Battle of the English Channel to the present, and all the British navy was looking forward to destroying the hateful German enemy with their opponents in the familiar rhythm of artillery battles. It's a pity that the war has been breaking out, and so far, the German Navy has changed the mode of war by playing with aircraft carriers, and then launched submarines to fight wolf pack breaking engagements.

In short, the most powerful and proud fleet artillery battle of the British army did not occur once. Britain is like a bison with infinite strength, full of brute strength, but helplessly found that the enemy he faced was holding a shotgun.

Now, it's different! Everything is different! They finally have their chance to take revenge, they have waited for a chance to fight with cannons. So when the roar of the four main guns on the battleship Villain had not stopped, on the battleship Nelson, the nine 406 mm caliber cannons opened fire again, and the huge concussion caused ripples in the surrounding water.

"Boom!" Even when they covered their ears, the sound of singing still struck at the hearts of every British sailor! They could finally compete fairly with the cunning enemy, and they could finally fight a familiar war with the Germans!

Watching these shells burst out of their barrels and fly out of sight in the distance, all the soldiers continued to get busy, cleaning the huge barrels with various equipment, cleaning the residue of gunpowder, and reloading the shells and firing charges into the chambers of the cannons, re-bombarding the enemy in the distance.

......

If the British Navy rejoiced that it had finally had a fair chance to fight, the battleship detachment of the German Navy was equally thrilled at this moment. They're excited that they're finally making their debut, they're excited that they're finally not out of nowhere!

Throughout the war, although the British battleships were sunk by the German Navy one after another, they were all fighting and fighting real naval battles. As a battleship unit of the German Navy, the only time it appeared was a support mission such as the bombardment of Iceland -- whoever commanded the battleship fleet had to think about how they could make a difference.

So when the British Royal Navy thought that it had finally had a chance, Bastian, the commander of the German battleship fleet, was equally pleased to find that his opportunity to make a contribution had come. When the husband is successful and famous, he will return to his hometown in fine clothes! This is what he is thinking now.

Although the German Navy was not as elite as the British Royal Navy in terms of artillery battles, the German Navy was now three battleships! In this level of artillery battles, it was definitely an advantage that could not be ignored in terms of numbers, and Bastian seemed to have seen the goddess of victory beckoning to him.

"Give the order to open fire! The Führer had already foreseen victory! Long live Big Germany!" Bastian gave the order to open fire at the same time as the British battleship opened fire. So after a few seconds of short preparation, the three battleships of the German Navy, which were in full array, sent the first round of greetings to their opponents with their naval guns.

"Boom!" 18 406 mm guns fired front and back, making a deafening sound that lifted the hearts of all German naval sailors. The use of such an intensive use of the most powerful artillery weapon in human history is enough to make all those who have seen it awe-inspiring.

Don't wonder why there are so many followers of the "Turret Cult", "Caliber Cult" and "Battleship Cult" in later generations. The big ship cannon definitely has infinite charm and can satisfy the primitive ambitions of men, so it is no wonder that even in the era of missiles, the big ship cannon still has a vast believer and market.

Watching the enemy in sight, torn to pieces by his own shells, and destroyed into an exploding fireworks, is definitely a kind of "man's romance" that is extremely refreshing. It is not difficult to understand why, after Pearl Harbor, Japan, which has the advantage of naval aviation, is still playing a battleship game.

"Boom!" Unlike the sprint formation of the British Royal Navy detachment, the German battleships had time to set up defensive formations and seize the superior T-shaped position in naval battles. This allowed the German ships to open fire with all the guns on their hulls.

This roar was emitted by the front and rear turrets of the Marshal Raeder, a full 8 huge guns of 380 mm caliber. The main guns of the battleship could not fire at the same time for a real "salvo", so this "one" roar was actually the sound of eight guns firing continuously at very short intervals.

The Germans fired a total of 26 shells in this salvo, while the British Navy fired only a pitiful 13 shells. In just one shot, the German Navy delivered twice as much ammunition as the British Navy. The numerical superiority and the superiority in the position were immediately vividly manifested at the moment of the beginning of the engagement.

The guns of the German battleships that fired this round of fire had not yet cleared the smoke of gunpowder, and the sea near the three battleships sailing at a constant speed was splashed by the falling large-caliber shells fired by the British Royal Navy with a huge column of water tens of meters high. It is not easy to fire a cannon on a shaky and undulating sea and hit a target in motion, and to ensure that it hits the target, you can only rely on skillful training, luck against the sky, and constantly adjusting the angle of fire.

It's a pity that these things, the inferior British Royal Navy seems to have an absolute advantage. The German Navy seemed to have the advantage in numbers and positions, but the two battleships Ukraine and Belous, which followed the battleship Marshal Raeder, were operated by a large group of interns and midshipmen.

Moreover, the two battleships surrendered by the Soviet Union to Germany had some design problems, resulting in an extremely slow reloading of shells when firing, which could not be compared with the well-designed and skillfully trained Nelson.

"The enemy ship is firing!" On the mast of the battleship Ukraine, an observer nervously shouted into the phone to the bridge: "The shells fell in the sea not far in front of us...... Oh my God, they hit us so well, they almost hit us!"

And the shell that he said almost hit was at least about 500 meters away from them. Bastian was looking through his binoculars at the jet of water stirred up in the distance, and as a veteran of the First World War, he immediately realized that he had been too optimistic.

After all, it was the British Empire, which used artillery to defeat most of the world! After all, it was the navy of a country that was once invincible on the seas and was known as a country on which the sun never sets! The best way to defeat this navy was to change the rules of the game in naval warfare...... Because whoever started a naval battle according to the old rules had to face the strongest attack of the British Royal Navy.

"Send a telegram to Admiral Raeder and Admiral Lütjans! quick! Let them take off as soon as possible! Come to our aid!" Bastian immediately gave up the idea of facing the British Royal Navy battleships alone, and began to cherish the days when he had been around the aircraft carrier as a large anti-aircraft battleship: at least that day, there was no need to be afraid, was there?

The shells fired by the German Navy almost provoked a burst of laughter from the British sailors on the opposite side, and more shells fell in front of the British Navy fleet than the shells fired by the British Navy, but the water columns were scattered everywhere, and there was no trace of accuracy at all. So the British Navy soldiers continued to adjust their guns, and at a better angle, fired their second salvo.

The German naval sailors in the distance were busy at this moment, using inefficient cooperation to tense clean the gun chambers, loading the shells with difficulty, and at least waiting for a long time before the next salvo. The only ones who could keep up with the pace were the Germans aboard the battleship Marshal Raeder, who were more well-trained and had more combat experience. They embodied the rigorous combat quality of the German army, and they were not much different from their British counterparts on the other side.

"Boom!" Shortly after the British opened fire, the second salvo of the German Navy also returned the favor, this time only the flagship of the battleship detachment of the High Seas Fleet. So the eight shells of the German Navy flew towards the British Navy in the distance, and after an interval of just a few seconds, the second salvo fired by the British Navy fell on the heads of the German battleships.

This time, the British Royal Navy made a "straddle shot". The shell fell into the water behind the German naval battleship and was closer to the German naval battleship than the previous explosion - those who are familiar with naval warfare know that the probability of the British Navy hitting the German naval battleship with the next shot is quite high.
