Now, the specific location of the enemy's fort is still a mystery. Only knowing the approximate location, we can't find it accurately at all.

Therefore, it seems a little too early to fire at this time, but fredberg certainly won't do useless work. The main task of this shelling is to give the other party a critical attack. At such a long distance, he is not confident that he can directly hit the other party's fort, even if he knows the exact location.

Sixty nautical miles away, hit the turret of the other party's shore defense gun? This is not a military novel, saying that you can hit when you hit, which is beyond the error range of naval guns. In later generations, long-range rocket extended range missiles were all equipped with guidance systems.

If you want to hit accurately, the Stuttgart also needs to be about 20 kilometers. Only then can his gunner be confident to hit the other party's Fort directly. Now let him launch from 60 nautical miles away. It is clear that it is similar to fire suppression.

What are you waiting for? Fire!

On one side of the bridge, the calibration and firing aircraft takes off quickly. In fact, its role is not big. If the other side's shore defense gun fires back, he can provide calibration and firing. If the other side continues to be a shrinking turtle, that is, to observe the impact point.

The whole warship, a huge combat machine, is now moving rapidly.

At the bottom of the turret, the semi-automatic loading system successively sent the warhead and propellant to the ammunition conveying track, and then stuffed them into the gun chamber. The whole shooting command room was buzzing, and the mechanical shooting director began to calculate the trajectory.

Although Germany has successfully developed the computer, it is still the most primitive. It is very difficult to install it into warships before the circuit components continue to be miniaturized. Germany still needs to go some way to use the computer to solve the trajectory.

Mechanically, it shows the intelligent brain of technicians. After more than ten minutes of calculation, the shooting elements of the target have been determined. Then, the nearly 3000 ton turret slowly rotates.

Stuttgart has nine 460mm naval guns, two turrets at the bow and triple loading.

If it doesn't change its course, it can only use the six guns on its bow, which can't make fredberg happy.

"Left full rudder."

With fredberg's order, the huge ship slowly moved its huge body, turned 90 degrees, and all the guns turned to its side.

If it is only to enhance its firepower, the displacement of 70000 tons of Stuttgart, even the 600 mm naval gun, is no problem. However, the final setting of the caliber at 460mm is due to various considerations, such as avoiding a new arms race and stimulating the United States. Compared with now, the naval gun can safely and boldly launch side to side volley, Don't worry about the powerful recoil force overturning his ship. If he had a 600mm naval gun, fredberg would never dare to do so.

Nine cannons, with an elevation of 40 degrees, looked like they were firing into the sky.

"Turret 1 is ready."

"Turret 2 is ready."

"Turret 3 is ready."

"The school shooting plane is in place."

"Fire!" At fredberg's command, the Gunners pressed their fingers hard on the firing button.

"Boom!" The propellant weighing more than 400 kg was ignited and burned violently in a short time, producing a hot high-temperature and high-pressure gas. Driven by this gas, the warhead of more than one ton was almost instantly pushed to the exit speed of 785 meters per second. At this time, the side wall of the naval gun was also bearing a high bore pressure of 32 kg per square millimeter.

Only the high-quality steel made of electroslag remelting steel can produce such a high bore pressure cannon.

(the type 91 460mm armor piercing projectile of the 460mm gun of Daiwa warship weighs 1460 kg. Does this mean the weight of the warhead or the weight of the launching charge? Ask those who know to solve their doubts.)

Almost at the moment of firing, the warhead came out of the chamber, and a hot flame came out of the muzzle. The flame expanded rapidly. In the twinkling of an eye, a huge flame shrouded the whole sea surface. The scattered volume was almost as large as five battleships. Even the nearby sea water was pushed and diffused by the strong air flow. At the same time, under the flame, All began to evaporate rapidly.

Under the huge reaction force, the battleship was forcibly pushed to the left for several meters, and the ship body bloomed with sea water, forming turning waves.

Every time a naval gun is fired, it is so shocking. As a commander of a battleship, this moment is his most exciting moment, which makes people surging.

The shell that came out of the chamber climbed up rapidly at the speed of 785 meters per second. Just more than ten seconds after coming out of the muzzle, its tail suddenly burst out a hot flame, and the rocket booster attached to the rear of the warhead ignited! It pushes the warhead, continues to climb and accelerate.

The school shooting plane flew steadily in the sky, observing the silent land in the distance, where the Soviet fort was hidden, but it was a pity that it had not been found.

In the distance of the sky, there are several bright spots, which fly towards the coastline of Sevastopol at three times the speed of sound!

In this case, it is impossible for the sound to come first, unless the shell flies over the head, the terrible scream can be heard.

For example, the monitor of the current anti-aircraft artillery squad felt uncomfortable in his ears. Suddenly, he raised his head with surprise in his eyes, watched the shells fly over his head, and then hit the ground about three kilometers away from him.

"Boom!"

At the moment of landing, the huge explosion sounded like this. The earth was shaking. The 85mm antiaircraft gun was forcibly moved half a meter by vibration.

At the distant impact point, the gravel splashed more than ten meters high, forming a terrible wall, full of smoke and dust.

How powerful is the 460mm naval gun? It can be simply measured by a football field. The explosion range of a bomb is enough to affect the size of a football field.

At the explosion point, there was a large pit more than 6 meters deep. At the edge of the pit, the piled soil was more than one meter high. If the cover was added, it would be enough to form a good bunker position.

However, no one is interested in it. This is the roar of death. The German large caliber naval gun started shooting at its own side!

Shipborne guns fire in volley, but there may be some differences when the shells fly in the air, resulting in different landing times sooner or later, but no more than one second. The explosion of nine huge 460mm howitzers caused a small earthquake to the whole position.
