"Listen to the cargo ship below. Please stop moving immediately and prepare for inspection. If you refuse to cooperate, you need to bear the consequences!" Lucas turned the power of the loudspeaker to the maximum and continued to shout down.

Sure enough, the other party didn't respond and was still accelerating to escape!

"Lucas, prepare for warning shots." Ludwig said, pushing the lever and the fighter buckled upside down.

Their plane is a shipborne water reconnaissance aircraft, which only has the firepower of the escort, that is, the machine gun in the back seat. Now, after receiving the order, Lucas opens the hatch in the back seat and pushes his machine gun.

The cold sea breeze poured in and immediately made Lucas fight a cold war. He pushed the double mounted mg151 machine gun and then pulled the trigger.

"Bang, bang." The machine gun is in the sea area in front of the other party's bow and shoots out spray after spray. This time it's just a warning. If you don't stop, you should shoot on the ship!

"Don't worry about them, let's move on!" Chris still had to go one way to the black. He shouted to his own people: "we have contacted the Soviet Union. Their naval aviation troops are preparing to take off. As long as we insist on three hours, we can fly to the protection circle."

Of course the Soviets were worried, but they needed these weapons most.

They can get their protection as long as they sail forward and reach the active sea area of the naval aviation of the other side.

Insist, we must insist!

Just then, the second round of shooting came. This time, they no longer fired at the sea, but directly came to the bridge of the cargo ship.

"Come on, bow your head!" Looking at the firing line where the bullet hit the deck, Chris shouted loudly. Everyone squatted down quickly. At this time, the machine gun bullet had roared and hit their ship bridge. The bullet collided with the steel shell and made a terrible sound. Then the glass was broken, and the bullet hit the ship bridge.

But no one was shot.

As long as you hide under the bridge, nothing happens. The other party's machine gun can't shoot through the steel plate outside the bridge!

It's a reconnaissance plane. There's no heavy firepower, only machine guns. It's not enough to make your side yield!

After hearing the gunshot, Chris slowly poked his head out of the broken glass and looked at the reconnaissance plane climbing. He was very happy. He even waved his fist in the air: "German, don't want us to give in!"

"These stubborn guys!" On the seaplane, Ludwig was also completely angry. He shouted on the radio: "marine police No. 1, marine police No. 1, the target ship resisted law enforcement and refused to accept inspection. I have used a machine gun for warning, which has no effect. Now ask for instructions to use shells for warning!"

Langersdorf has been paying attention to the situation ahead. It's easy to find one and never let the other party run away. Now, he dares to resist law enforcement, which simply doesn't pay attention to the European joint maritime law enforcement Committee!

In that case, let the other party know your strength!

"Show us the target immediately, prepare for shell warning and load rocket extended range bombs!" Langsdorf shouted on the radio.

The other side guessed well. At this time, the maritime police ship is hundreds of nautical miles away from the route in the distant Arctic circle. If it sails in the past, it will take more than three hours even if its own side runs at the highest speed. During this time, the other side can rush into the safe sea area.

It's not that our side doesn't intend to kill the base of the Soviet Union's Northern Fleet, but after repeated attacks, they have learned to behave well. The aircraft have been evacuated to the field runway and scattered, and the warships are wandering around. They only return to their home port at night to supplement. The German Navy is not adapted to the climate in the Arctic Circle, so it gives them a chance to breathe.

However, if the other party thinks that the distance is too far, as long as they are not afraid of water patrol aircraft, they are very wrong!

The range of naval guns in this era is not far. Even 406mm artillery has a range of only 30 or 40 nautical miles, which is almost beyond the horizon. Moreover, this kind of long-range, hitting almost all depends on luck.

From this point of view, it seems that it is not necessary to launch shells with a longer range. If it is a sea war, it is indeed not necessary, but if it is land support, it is different.

The task of the German Navy is very arduous. The ultimate task is to occupy the United States. The German Navy needs to bombard shore targets. At the same time, the farther away from the other side's coastline, the safer the warship will be. In this case, the development of ultra long-range shells was put on the agenda, and a breakthrough was made soon.

This is the rocket extended range bomb.

Germany already has mature rockets. On the basis of this technology, improve the existing shells, add solid rocket motors at the rear of the shells, and burn backward jet to increase thrust, so as to make the shells reach a longer range.

In later generations, Americans used this technology on 127 mm naval gun shells, with a range of more than 100 nautical miles. Now, the German warship uses 283 mm naval guns, with larger shells, more space to fill rocket fuel and reduce its weight in combustion, so the range is farther.

In short, the range of 100 nautical miles is absolutely guaranteed.

Ar-196 seaplane, its most important task is to conduct water reconnaissance and calibrate its own naval guns!

At this time, Lucas in the back seat has closed the cover and the machine gun warning is invalid. These people dare to resist. Let them see their real technology and let them tremble in front of the naval gun shells!

He quickly calculated the trajectory and provided various firing data. After calculating according to the firing table for one minute, he told Ludwig in the front cabin the result of his calculation.

Ludwig informed the rear of the shooting data on the radio. At the same time, Lucas continued to pick up the microphone and shout to the stubborn cargo ship that resisted law enforcement.

"Listen to the cargo ships below. If you don't stop for inspection, you will be shelled by maritime police ships, and you will bear all the consequences!"

You're not afraid of machine gun bullets. Are you afraid of shells?

This is just a cargo ship. Even the tens of millimeters of artillery fire on an ordinary frigate can destroy it. After all, its hull is not resistant to attack.

Now, hearing the sound, the people on the ship below were indeed stunned, but Chris looked South and saw nothing.

"They are intimidating us. There are no other ships around. No matter what they do, we continue to move." Chris said.
