At the same time, he also knows that he has too few opportunities to shoot, because the firing speed of his warship is too low. The guns on his warship have no automatic loading ability and are completely loaded manually. Of course, it is quite slow. It is obviously inappropriate to waste shells at a long distance.

The column continued to sail forward at high speed and quickly approached the Italian line. At this time, other warships in the Italian fleet also opened fire one after another.

Every shot will bring huge black smoke to block their sight. When the black smoke passes, the Soviet fleet is still rushing towards them!

This makes the Italian Navy extremely depressed.

"Is this the standard of our fleet Gunners?" On the bridge, katanio said angrily, "so far, our shells have not touched the Soviet warship!"

Katanio knows that the naval gun firing is actually a process of continuous adjustment. First, test firing, continuously fine tune according to the test firing situation, gradually approach the target, and finally hit the other party. Now, because there is no impact point, each time is equivalent to the first test firing, so there is no guarantee of collimation.

However, seeing the two sides approaching, but unable to hit each other, katanio was in a terrible mood.

The distance between the two sides was close to five nautical miles. Gorshkov finally issued an order: "fire!"

The drawback of a column is that the firing range of the warships behind is easily blocked by the warships in front. Therefore, in the process of actual progress, it is not a complete column, but each ship behind is more to the right than the front, so it is empty.

Having received the order to fire, the long prepared Gunners immediately pulled their gun ropes.

"Boom!" The 180 mm double mounted naval gun roared, black smoke shrouded the turret, and two high-speed armor piercing shells flew towards Italian warships!

The draught never forgets the well digger. The armor piercing bullet at this time is simply ungrateful.

When the Soviet Union designed the red Caucasus, it planned to skip the class and use four 180 mm guns against six to ten 203 mm guns of its imaginary opponent.

Therefore, they have no choice but to increase the chamber pressure and tube length. When your gun is not powerful enough, increase the propellant!

As a result, the Soviets did. The muzzle velocity of this naval gun was as high as 1000 m / s, which was powerful and could suppress the Western 203 mm naval gun.

However, the rifling of this gun wears out very fast, and even the life of the barrel is no more than 10 rounds. That is to say, as long as a few rounds of shells are fired in actual combat, there will be a great deviation in the shells fired later, which is equivalent to a waste gun!

The Soviets had no choice but to ask for help, and could not hang from a tree in Germany, so they went to Italy.

With the technical assistance of Italian andolsa company, they shortened the gun barrel to 57 times the caliber, reduced the firing charge to 37.5 kg, reduced the bore pressure and muzzle initial velocity to 3200 kg / cm2 and 920 M / s respectively, and adopted more sparse rifling distribution to alleviate the problem, so that the barrel life reached 320 rounds and had practical combat capability.

I'm afraid the Italians never dreamed that they helped the Soviets transform their naval guns, but now these naval guns are going to fire at them!

In addition to the 180 naval guns, all the other naval guns opened fire.

In addition to the 180 naval guns, the red Caucasus also has four 1911 102 mm 60 caliber single loaded unshielded auxiliary guns. This gun is a mature naval gun designed and manufactured by the famous obkhofsky iron and steel factory.

At this time, the red Caucasus roared and shot its own shells. At the same time, other warships were also shooting. Although their artillery caliber was not large enough, they also had to show their existence.

Moreover, their targets are aimed at the battleship in the middle of the other side's line-up, concentrating their firepower, even if they can't hit it, they will make it cry and howl.

"Bang!" In the huge impact sound, a 102 mm armor piercing bullet hit the count of gaffer accurately!

Several Italian soldiers screamed at the position of an anti-aircraft gun. It was their position that was shot!

"Boom!" Under the attack of this shell, the antiaircraft artillery shell was killed and exploded. In an instant, smoke and dust billowed here.

For a battleship, the 102mm armor piercing bullet can be carried down hard, just like tickling, but now, the black smoke rises from the gun position of this unlucky anti-aircraft gun, which makes katanio who stands on the bridge to see all this sink in his heart. No, how can it happen?

For any country, battleships are very valuable. After all, they can only be built with the strength of the whole country. For example, the Soviet Union transported half of the country's steel to the shipyard, and did not build the Soviet battleship.

Therefore, once the main warships suffered losses in the naval battle, the country could not afford it, even Germany in history. After the Bismarck was sunk, the German surface fleet never took the initiative to attack again.

At this moment, the glory of the navy in katanio's mind has been put aside. He is full of one thing. This battleship can't do anything! If anything happens to this ship, his military career will come to an end!

Katanio was a little guilty. Looking at the Soviets fighting so bravely, why don't you withdraw by yourself? Or change the formation and call several ships around to protect it?

The naval battle is very fierce, and the battle is also going on in the air.

"Bang!" It was the sound of axis gun shooting again. With the shooting, the IL-4 bomber in front of ancruz fell down with black smoke.

Just then, suddenly, ancruz saw bullets coming from his left side. He knew that he had been ambushed by Soviet fighters!

It is very difficult for biplane to fight monoplane, especially the German adopted the tactics of diving, climbing and running as soon as they hit. They can't reach it at all.

However, just now ancruz is greedy for merit. He has shot down four IL-4. As long as he shoots down another one, he can become the first HNA pilot to become an ace pilot in one battle.

Therefore, when shooting down the IL-4 of the fifth frame, he unknowingly missed and caught up. As a result, he was attacked secretly.

Pull it up! Ancruz was no longer greedy for low altitude and began to climb up. Unfortunately, he just fell into each other's arms.

Alexander Mironenko's eyes were almost angry. They were escort fighters, but they watched German fighters jump up and down and shoot down their own bombers. Now, he must shoot down each other!

The other party made a mistake and maneuvered horizontally, so he quickly circled behind the other party and fired.

When watching the other party pull up, Alexander pulled his nose, 7.62mm machine gun bullet, climbed up and hit the other party accurately!
