Before his death, the m-98 submarine actually fired two torpedoes, which is well-trained enough. Ordinary submarine forces have no time to shoot torpedoes. What's more terrible is that one of the torpedoes actually hit a river level.

This frigate has only a displacement of 1000 tons, so it is impossible to achieve comprehensive protection capability. When it is manufactured, it strives to be simple in structure and can be manufactured in large quantities. It is similar to the idea of the Soviet Union and belongs to one-time consumables.

Now, after being hit by a torpedo, several unfortunate sailors were blown up in an instant. The rest struggled to rescue the ship for half an hour, but they didn't rescue the ship, so they had to go on other warships.

Anti submarine warfare is very dangerous. This is also the significance of the existence of destroyers and frigates. Even if they are torpedoed and sunk, they don't feel bad.

At the end of the anti submarine war here, the main force of the fleet had approached the Crimean Peninsula and Sevastopol.

"Unfortunately, it is not time for the government to Sevastopol." On the bridge, mashar said with some regret.

At present, the German Navy is still in a state of preparation for war. If the German Navy attacks the fortress alone, it can be taken down, but it will pay a huge cost of casualties, which the German Navy and the empire can't afford.

Therefore, they must wait, wait for the Romanian Legion to move forward all the way, conquer the opposite Ukraine, and come over on land. The Navy only plays an auxiliary role.

Now, with the fall of the Black Sea fleet, the importance of the fortress has decreased. The Soviets can't continue to provide reinforcements through the sea, so they can lock them up.

"Commander, our carrier is ready to take off the carrier plane." On his side, fredberg said, "they will take off and bomb the Soviet coastal fort."

Mashal nodded: "this time, first use our bombers and then our naval guns to completely destroy their coastal fort, so that the Soviets know that from today on, the Black Sea belongs to our German Navy."

Sevastopol is the gateway of the Black Sea fleet. Of course, this important fortress has shore defense gun positions. According to the layout of the city, two huge Fort positions have been established, namely Gorky No. 1 fort and Gorky No. 2 fort.

These forts have a long history, starting from 1904, when the Russian government decided to strengthen the coastal defense facilities of Sevastopol naval base in Crimea and add two huge armored naval forts.

As an important naval base, there were originally 11 inch naval guns here. After more than 40 years of history, these old shore defense guns were naked. All loading operations were carried out manually, resulting in a firing rate of as low as one shot in two minutes. At the same time, all forts were concentrated in the relatively narrow coastal zone from Cape Tolstoy to quarantine bay to protect the entrance of Sevastopol Bay.

When facing the battleships of various powers in this era, the other side can easily bombard Sevastopol 30 kilometers away from the coastal areas of baraclava and Cape riot across the mountains of meiqianjiye and Cape helsones. Therefore, the old shore gun defense system must be completely updated and rearranged.

Unfortunately, it took too much time to start construction until 1928, and it was basically completed in 1934.

The fort was equipped with a 305 mm naval gun built in St. Petersburg in 1913 for battleships in the era of World War I, and was equipped with a modern optical rangefinder and an automatic fire control station "barricade".

At the same time, in order to ensure the firing of shore defense guns, there is a support network composed of six observation stations, which are distributed in Cape lukulus, Alma estuary, Kacha estuary, Cape helsones, Cape violent and the West Bank of baraclava Bay. After all, the battery has a very long range, and such a huge network of observation posts is essential.

The firepower of such a fort can reach as far as nikolayevka, pokhtovi or Bachi salai, controlling about 5000 square kilometers of land.

At that time, it was given the number of No. 30 fort, which is now Gorky No. 1 fort.

When the Germans had begun to sail in the Mediterranean, the Soviet Union was keenly aware of the risks, so several identical 305 mm naval guns were added to the urban defense system of Sevastopol to cover the sea passage to the south of Sevastopol.

The sister fort was built on Cape helsones and was numbered 35, which is Gorky No. 2 fort.

In this way, Fort 30 guarded the vast sector from Cape lukulus in the north, while Fort 35 controlled the southern sector from Cape helsones to Cape violence, which can effectively control the vast water area in front of the whole Sevastopol fortress.

If the German Navy wants to sail unscrupulously in the Black Sea, it must destroy the Soviet Black Sea fleet, including the fleet's base. The shore defense gun position here is the focus they want to kill.

Now, mashar is in high spirits and has begun to plan the attack on these coastal gun positions, and fredberg can't help pouring cold water on him: "general, our bombers may return in vain. After all, the Soviets have made strict arrangements there."

If it was on the vast coastline, the shore defense guns were clear and could be seen at a glance, but the Soviets obviously wouldn't be so stupid. They deployed the shore defense guns in the woods. In particular, they also had special camouflage nets and false trees and shrubs made of metal. Bombers flying through the air were not easy to find targets.

On the ground, the infiltration of our own special forces is not easy.

"So, I suggest that we move the fleet within their range, attract them to fire, and we can expose the position of their fort. In this way, we can easily find their fort and destroy it."

Listening to fredberg, mashar certainly knew his intentions.

If you drive within the range close to them, your own naval guns will be enough. At this time, it is enough to use any bomber to directly attack your own naval guns.

But this will put our own fleet in danger. The 70000 ton warship is the pride of the whole German Navy and cannot suffer losses in such a bombing.

Therefore, it is impossible for mashar to agree to such an adventure.

"Our fleet cannot approach until our bombers destroy the fort." Mashar made it clear.

Those shore defense guns have thick armor protection, but they can also be easily destroyed in front of their own special bombs. If they can be solved by bombers, do not use battleships.

After listening to Frederick's complaint on his face, "I really don't understand why we built the huge Hindenburg class warship? We can't participate in all kinds of battles, but we have to be closely protected! "
