406mm naval gun, if using strong charge mode, launch grenades, which can hit 50 kilometers away!

At this distance, the captain of the naval gun no longer works because he can't see the opposite side and can't aim.

On land, you can aim and shoot by pre-determined shooting data, but now you need a seaplane!

Ar196 water reconnaissance aircraft can not only help warships detect the water surface in advance, determine whether the nearby sea area is safe, and find enemy warships in advance. It also has a task, that is, artillery calibration!

For example, now it wants to guide its own naval guns to attack a French military camp in the port!

At this time, on the back seat of the water reconnaissance plane, Ike, the observer, was busy nervously. There was a chart in front of him. He was constantly drawing with ruler and gauge, marking on the chart, and constantly looking down.

"Direction 091, elevation 31 degrees 43 minutes 2 seconds, request to test fire one." Ike shouted on the radio.

Even if he calculated it accurately in advance, he could not let his warship hit at once. Test fire one first.

"Boom!" With his call, the Bismarck here, the middle gun of the bow, suddenly opened fire. On the muzzle, a mass of flame shrouded, and a huge grenade flew out.

Ike stared closely at the trajectory of the grenade, looked at the grenade, crossed the sky, and pointed to the target Barracks at the end of a beautiful arc.

"Boom!" It was almost a minute before the shell, which flew at a speed of 820 meters per second, crashed to the ground and blew out a huge pit on the ground.

"The azimuth is correct. It is still one kilometer away from the target. Increase the elevation by 1 degree and 2 points. All ship guns fire together. " Ike continued.

This shooting gave him great confidence, and next time, he will definitely hit all of them!

"Boom, boom!" This time, the salvo of nine naval guns roared on the whole sea. It seemed that even the sea water trembled. Black smoke shrouded the whole warship. Nine 406mm high explosive grenades flew to the opposite barracks.

At this time, the camp was in a panic.

When they found the shells flying from the opposite side, they subconsciously lay down, but in this way, they can only die faster!

"Boom!" A 406mm grenade accurately hit the barracks. When the grenade exploded on the ground, it directly exploded into a large pit several meters deep, and the explosion shook the ground violently.

The soldier posted on the ground felt his chest slapped hard in an instant, just like his belly touching the water when diving. No, it should be more powerful!

His stomach churned, and then blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. He had been shocked and hurt his internal organs.

The landing of each 406mm high explosive grenade brings the feeling of the end of the world. You know, each shell weighs more than one ton!

How does it feel when a ton of warheads hit the ground?

And a volley is nine such warheads!

A shell hit a three-story building. Almost in an instant, the building collapsed directly. Before it exploded, it was directly smashed by the kinetic energy of the collision. Then, in the huge explosion, the whole building fell apart!

This is the power of large caliber naval guns. In history, Hitler has always been keen on super artillery. That's why the power of this kind of artillery is crazy. It can be said that if the magino line is close to the sea, 406mm naval guns can still blow off the magino line and attack directly. There is no need to carefully arrange other plans to attack France.

When a 406mm naval gun volley passed, the barracks here became ruins and lost the value of existence!

On the reconnaissance plane in the sky, Ike, the observer, continued to contact by radio: "turn right for 1 degree, 13 minutes and 6 seconds, raise the elevation for 3 minutes, target, coastal fortifications near the military camp."

With his call, the guns on the Bismarck slowly turned their angle, and then a new volley began again, accurately blowing up the coastal fortifications here into ruins.

In addition to Bismarck, other warships of 10000 tons and above also poured their firepower ashore.

War always kills people.

The whole Brest was crowded with people preparing to flee, and now, German artillery inevitably hurt some civilians.

If they don't stay at home and wait to accept the leadership of the great Germany, they only know that running around, getting injured or being killed is their own life.

One of the great functions of battleships is to use their own naval guns to attack the shore!

After this operation, Germany vigorously publicized the outstanding contribution of battleships in this landing operation. The dispatch efficiency of carrier based aircraft of aircraft carrier is far less than that of battleships. The giant guns of battleships are still the key to dominate the sea and control the land by sea.

Moreover, Germany has publicized a series of plans for the construction of battleships, and even plans to use more than 80000 tons and 800 mm naval guns.

Of course, all these are fooling the western world, especially the US military.

While constantly publicizing the advantages of battleships, Germany began to build a large number of aircraft carriers, made use of the acquired French industry, strengthened the construction of aircraft carriers, and started several aircraft carriers at the same time.

Of course, this is all later.

Now, each warship is pouring its own artillery fire, and in the naval base on the shore, the base commander is very frightened. Listening to the roar outside, he contacts the suburbs of Brest. After all, there is the chief of general staff of the whole navy. In this case, only the chief of general staff of the navy can command.

Brest port was bombed by the German fleet. German battleships approached the shore and continued shelling the port!

When he received the news, Darlan had realized that the situation was bad. He had come down from the front line and returned to his headquarters.

In the morning, the Germans just sent out bombers to bomb the military facilities in Brest, which Darlan could accept. After all, they conducted airborne operations here. Their bombing was to relieve the pressure of those airborne troops.

Therefore, Darlan did not care about the German bombing. He just concentrated his strength and hanged the landing German Paratroopers.

But now the Germans have even come up with battleships, which is very bad.

This shows that the Germans have new attempts!

Do you? Darlan thought of a possibility and immediately denied it in his heart. It's impossible, impossible. How can these Germans do that?

"Report, the 48th division was ordered to come to support." Just then, a voice sounded outside.
