Don't attack the aircraft carrier Bayan, make it surrender, and never let the Bayan sink.

The telegram arrived in time. At this time, the Lord speber had aimed at the other side again. Due to the appropriate occupation, not only the six 283mm guns at the bow, but also the 283mm guns at the stern had enough range.

Nine naval guns, enough to destroy each other with rounds of shelling! The French warships, or the technology during World War I, simply could not stop the rounds of firing of their own 283mm naval guns.

But now, Colonel lansdorf was embarrassed by this order. What should we do?

Fire?

If you fire, you may sink the other party. Although the order is strange and confusing, it is almost an instinctive reflex for a soldier to obey the order.

Therefore, we must not start rashly.

So, what should we do? Colonel lansdorf looked at the 30000 ton aircraft carrier, looked at its slow acceleration, looked at the elevator in its middle, lifted a new carrier aircraft again, and looked at its bridge.

Suddenly, he came to inspiration.

You can't hit each other's ship body and deck because they are very weak here. 283mm armor piercing shells can completely pass through each other's armor belt at this distance. Moreover, the wooden flight deck is not hit.

After a few rounds of shooting, you can hit the other party, and once the other party is hit, it is very dangerous.

Because aircraft carriers need to store a lot of fuel and ammunition. Who knows the damage control ability of the French? Judging from the quality just shown by their own ambush, it is obviously very poor.

Once it hits there, it will cause the burning of fuel or the explosion of ammunition, which will be troublesome! Maybe it sank in a few minutes and could not be rescued at all.

Well, apart from these places, there is only one place to fight, bridge!

The bridge is high and integrated with the chimney, so that when aiming, your side can avoid the other side's ship body and fire at the bridge.

There is no fuel and ammunition on the bridge, there will not be killed and exploded, but there are a large number of senior officers on the bridge.

As long as they bombard the bridge constantly, it is enough to make the other party's combat will disappear. If their senior commander is killed, the sailors at the lower level have no possibility of saving up for combat.

Yes, that's it!

"Attention, aim at the other side's bridge and fire!" Cried Colonel lansdorf.

Change the target position and aim at the bridge. This is also a challenge for German artillery commanders.

You know, a general naval battle is just shooting at the general direction of the other party, pouring shells into the sea area where the other party is located until it hits.

But now? Not only to hit each other, but also to hit each other's position!

It's hard to do, but it can't defeat the German artillery commander!

"One secret bit to the left. Raise the elevation by three points, all naval guns, ready for the first salvo. " As the gunner of the Earl spee, he was quite cautious at this time.

The first test shot gave him a general grasp, and this second time, there was no need to test shoot again, just go together.

As long as the naval gun raises the elevation angle, it will not hit the other party's ship body or deck when the distance measurement is accurate. It will either hit the bridge or fly.

"Boom!" In an instant, the whole speber was furious. The muzzle of each naval gun emitted a huge fire, illuminating the sea, and thick smoke shrouded the whole warship. The huge ship body was forcibly pushed more than ten centimeters to the side in the volley!

This is the most exciting naval gun shooting, artillery, the God of war!

When the speber was firing, there was a dead silence on the whole Bayan. The Germans opened fire!

At this time, the distance between the two sides is less than five nautical miles, almost driving side by side, which is a very embarrassing position.

Because the top is the flight deck, the naval guns on the Bayan are arranged from the side. For example, its 155mm naval guns are scattered in the turrets around the warship.

So that at present, only three 155 mm turrets can turn to the position of the Earl spee. These three naval guns simply do not have enough ability to tear apart the German warship armor, and even they can't accurately hit each other.

After all, the 155mm naval gun takes into account the air firing, which requires high firing speed. On the other hand, it is the decline of gun power. It is doomed to be a tragic result to use it to bombard the German class.

However, at this distance, the accuracy of German naval guns is quite high!

After the fire of those naval guns shone, huge armor piercing bullets flew over and flew to the Bayan here with a beautiful arc.

"Long shot, don't be afraid, continue to fly the carrier aircraft!" Labard has been observing the other side. With years of experience, he observed the trajectory of the other side and determined it. Don't be afraid. It's a long-range bomb!

It must be a long-range bullet. It was aimed at the bridge. If it didn't hit, it would certainly fly over the flight deck and fly to a position hundreds of meters away from the opposite side.

Now, that's it.

The operators on the deck watched in horror as the armor piercing projectile flew over their heads, only more than ten meters away from themselves. They were extremely frightened by the terrible roar and fierce wind brought by the projectile.

Some sailors shouted directly.

"No!"

Almost at the same time, there was a terrible cry on the bridge.

An armour piercing bullet came straight at them! The pupils of each of them are enlarged. It seems that there is only such a huge shell left in their retina, which is rotating and flying towards them!

This is really terrible!

There is no heavy armor on the bridge. After all, the aircraft carrier is refitted. If a heavy armor protected bridge is built on the side, it will be unbalanced.

Now, if the armor piercing bullet hits the bridge, the people on the bridge will be in danger!

It seemed to confirm their ideas. At the next moment, the whole bridge issued a terrible roar caused by the impact. Under the huge vibration, everyone could not stand stably and fell to one side.

"Boom!" Then a huge explosion sounded.

Armor piercing bullet is definitely not a solid iron pimple. It only uses a higher proportion of steel or even alloy steel. When it penetrates the armor and explodes inside, the effect is better.

When the explosion came, it was like hell. The whole bridge was surrounded by black smoke.

The sailors on the lower deck were surprised to see smoke billowing on their own bridge, as if the whole bridge had been destroyed.
