The 406 mm naval gun has a range of more than 40 kilometers. It is difficult to find the target visually at this distance.

Therefore, the battleships are equipped with seaplanes, which are mainly used to guide the warship's naval gun attack.

Now, on the sea, the huge Bismarck is receiving reconnaissance signals from its own seaplane.

"Attention, all 406 guns, load shells." Captain, Captain Lidman, give orders.

Load the shells!

Bismarck, since the completion of construction, the naval guns have not been fired together. After all, the naval guns have a body tube life, and hundreds of rounds have been scrapped.

And this time, just in time!

Inside the triple turret, the automatic loader is busy, and the huge shells and cartridges are loaded into the chamber in turn.

Then the turret turned slowly.

Different from history, the Bismarck's naval gun has been changed to 406mm caliber. At the same time, the number has also changed. In the past, there were four double turrets, but now there are three triple turrets.

There are two in front and one in the back. All the turrets are turning to the right of the warship. The black muzzle aims at the land dozens of kilometers away.

"Gun 1, test fire." Cried Linderman.

"Boom!"

With his order, the 406mm naval gun in the middle of the No. 1 turret on the bow sent out a huge roar. With the sound of the gun, a large mass of flame burst out at the muzzle. In the front of the flame, a high explosive warhead weighing hundreds of kilograms appeared at the front of the flame and flew forward quickly!

As the flames slowly dispersed, smoke shrouded the warship.

This is a test shot. It's so crazy!

The shell made a beautiful trajectory in the air and flew to Mayland Island, the British Fleet Command south of Kirkwall.

"Boom!" The shell landed on the open space not far from the headquarters, which is a basketball court. When the bomb came down, the whole ground seemed to have a big earthquake.

With the huge explosion, a shock wave was transmitting. Everywhere, the cement on the ground flew up one after another, and the ground in the distance cracked.

When the smoke of the shells dispersed, a big pit with a diameter of several meters appeared in the middle of the whole basketball court. If there were someone on the basketball court, it would never survive!

In the sky, the reconnaissance plane was visually observing the impact point, and then sent instructions to Bismarck. The deviation from the target was 100 meters, the elevation was increased by one degree, and deviated two secret positions to the left!

The 406mm naval gun is quite powerful. At the same time, each gun can't be wasted. Like now, use a shell for test firing. After confirming the impact point, the next time, it will be hit with coverage!

All the barrels were erected, and the Bismarck's scene was quite spectacular.

"Boom!" The remaining eight gun barrels opened fire together, and there was no sound of interval. Although there was actually a sequence, only one sound was heard.

The sound made everyone's eardrums tremble. Within a few minutes, their ears were buzzing.

Almost at the same time, there was a blazing flame at the muzzle. The flame of eight naval guns instantly dyed the right side of the warship red and extended forward for tens of meters! If you count the volume, the volume covered by these flames is larger than the whole Bismarck.

At the same time, the firing of the naval gun led to a huge recoil force. The Bismarck with a full load displacement of up to 50000 tons could not bear such recoil force and was pushed horizontally to the left for more than one meter!

The right side of the warship is covered with water spray, showing the huge lateral movement of the warship. If the displacement of the warship is not enough, the side volley can even turn the whole warship over.

The fire lasted more than ten seconds at sea before it disappeared. It turned into black smoke and surrounded the whole Bismarck. In front of the fire, huge grenades flew forward.

The target is the British fleet base!

"Boom!" With the just test firing, this volley was quite accurate. A shell accurately hit the main building and four storey command building in the British fleet base.

The building, which had been bombed by Stuka bombers, was still standing, but now, this shell has completely changed the fate of the building.

When the explosion occurred, only the middle part of the whole building was exposed to heat waves. Then, it was like directional blasting, collapsing from top to bottom, like dominoes.

After the explosion, the whole building no longer had any skeleton standing upright, and all turned into flat ruins, just rising higher than the ground on one side!

"Boom!" A shell hit a barracks next to the building. In the explosion, the tents of the barracks, like leaves in a typhoon, were lifted up in an instant! The air waves spread to tens of meters away!

One shell after another fell from the sky, and the reconnaissance aircraft in the sky calmly reported to the rear: "the whole headquarters has been destroyed."

In one salvo, more than 30 Stuka bombers were blown to the ground without flattening the headquarters. This is the power of 406mm naval guns!

Linderman is quite satisfied. Since the war, his main warship has not been powerful. Now, a volley destroyed the other party's headquarters, which is a good record.

However, lutjens on one side was obviously dissatisfied.

It's a shame for any German Navy. The original rainbow operation made it the tomb of the German fleet. Now, the naval guns have only completed a volley. How can this be enough?

"Aim at Kirkwall, second volley." Said rutjens.

Linderman was stunned when he heard this. Kirkwall, it's a city. Open fire on the city. Isn't it hitting civilians?

Kirkwall is a city, but not an ordinary city. It can be said that the important purpose of this city is to serve the British navy fleet.

Now, we're going to blow up their city!

Let alone the nonsense that war belongs to soldiers and has nothing to do with civilians, which only the most naive pacifists will believe.

What are the soldiers doing in the front and the rear? Making weapons and growing food for soldiers on the front line! In the late second world war, allied bombers still bombed the main cities of Germany.

Now, the Kirkwall who beat them is to let them know that the German Navy is strong and the British must give in!

Although Linderman is the captain, but lutjens is the commander. Linderman wants to listen to lutjens, so he issued an order: "reload, high explosive bombs, reconnaissance aircraft, indicate the target."
