Wait, Colonel Holland, still on the other side's warship!

Hearing lieutenant general Somerville's order, an assistant wanted to say, but then he didn't say anything.

It's no use. While lieutenant general Somerville gave the order, the front warship has opened fire!

The warrior, a Queen Elizabeth class battleship, was completed in 1916. Like most other British battleships, it belongs to the master class battleship during World War I.

It is also a meritorious old ship of Britain. It has participated in the battle of Jutland. At the time of this year, it has just been modernized.

Up to now, it is the only 30000 ton battleship left in the British navy. There is no such battleship in the mainland, only in the Mediterranean fleet.

It had made all the preparations, and when the order was given, it began its own shooting.

As a large battleship, it has 8 dual mounted 15 inch / 42 times diameter MK I main guns. At this time, it turns to its side, just so that all the guns at the bow and stern can be aimed at the past.

When the naval gun opened fire, thick smoke shrouded the whole warship. In the huge black smoke, 381mm armor piercing shells flew opposite!

Since the battle of Waterloo, Britain and France have not fought again. This is the first time Britain has opened fire on the French army after the battle!

With a sharp roar, eight armor piercing missiles flew to the other side of the breakwater. The main force of the French fleet docked here!

Along the breakwater from northwest to southeast of the port are Dunkirk, Brittany, Strasbourg, Provence and commander tast.

These battlecruisers and old battleships lean towards the breakwater at the stern. Among them, the most deadly are the "Dunkirk" and "Strasbourg". These two latest and most effective battlecruisers in France are only beaten and do not fight back.

This kind of French warship, I don't know what the designer thinks. Maybe the brain was kicked by a donkey. They use 330 mm heavy guns. On this 30000 ton warship, the caliber is absolutely small.

At the same time, the number is not much, only 8. The most fatal thing is that it is composed of quadruple double turrets, which is absolutely special. It was rarely seen on almost other warships in World War II.

The two quadruple turrets are all in front, that is, France's proudest battleship has no ability to attack the rear.

Of course, we can't say that. There are some 130 mm auxiliary guns behind. It's a pity that these auxiliary guns are useless in this kind of naval battle.

The stern of the ship is against the anti Poti. In the distance of the anti Poti is the British warship. In this way, they are quite butt to the British warship. They can't use the bow main gun, that is, they don't have any ability to fight back!

In addition to them, destroyers are docked on the other side of the port, and there are coastal forts equipped with 6.1-inch, 7.6-inch and 9.4-inch shore guns on the shore. There are also 52 fighters at the nearby airport, and 10 small destroyers, several submarines and 13 small ships are parked in Oran not far away.

When the British ship guns came, the whole French fleet erupted into complete anger.

"Boom!" The huge armor piercing bullet hit the anti wave lift. The anti wave lift made of concrete was blown open in an instant.

The first salvo of British naval guns did not hit at all. It was also difficult for them to aim at the French fleet behind fangboti.

"Boom!" The loud explosion sounded on everyone's eardrums, made general sur stand up and glanced at Colonel Holland.

"There must be a misunderstanding. Give me the radio and I'll contact the opposite side." Colonel Holland said that at this time, he was also confused. According to the original negotiation, he had to persuade him to surrender first. If he couldn't, he would take action. Now, he hasn't said much, so he's doing it here?

"Close him to the bottom!" General sur turned his head and didn't look at the old friend. Now, the battle has begun! If your boat sinks, this guy must die!

"Command, fight now, fight now!" Let general sur shout loudly.

At this time, thick black smoke came out of the chimneys of various warships, and the heavy oil boilers were successfully ignited. However, it took at least half an hour to boil several tons of fresh water. During this period, their warships could not move at all!

The short and powerful ship bell began to ring, and at the same time, the sharp alarm sounded on the shore.

In fact, the personnel on each warship have long been awakened. Now, they quickly enter their combat positions.

Among them, the fastest response is the "Provence", which is an old ship during World War I. the sailors on the warship are well-trained. They quickly climb into the anti-aircraft guns and are ready for battle.

The battleship uses 10 340mm 45 times the diameter 1912 main guns, which are installed in five tandem turrets. The personnel have begun to prepare before firing the fastest No. 5 main turret and No. 4 main turret.

They are also upside down, so the main gun at the stern can hit the enemy.

In the No. 4 main gun tower high above, the gunner began to calculate. From here, fangboti still blocked his sight, so that he could only aim at the mast in his sight. A minute later, he measured all kinds of shooting data.

"Fire!"

According to his firing data, two turrets and four 340mm naval guns made a sky shaking sound.

Since you open fire on your side, it is the enemy, and your counterattack will be merciless!

The counterattack of the French navy was fast enough. Unfortunately, the gunner at this time did not know that the mast in his vision was not the British warship in the distance, but the Dunkirk on his side. It was a big Oolong!

His firing data are all wrong and it is impossible to hit the target.

"School shooting plane, come on, take off at once!" At the same time, the captains on both sides were shouting loudly.

The British warrior, when the first salvo effect was not good, immediately stopped shooting. Now, they need to take off the calibration aircraft, give them directions and calibrate the trajectory!

While the ship guns fired, the two aircraft carriers were not idle. Huge black smoke from the chimney shrouded the sky behind. Both aircraft carriers were accelerating and ready to fly their carrier aircraft.
