The night was dark.
On the distant sea, a buzzing sound came gradually. With the sound, a fleet gradually showed its outline in the dark.
The two destroyers in the lead, followed by some big guys, the one in the middle, is the most distinctive.
Two quadruple mounted naval guns are the biggest feature of this warship, which almost occupies the main part in front of the ship. This warship is the flagship of the current fleet, the Strasbourg.
On the bridge, general Jean Sur, who had not slept all night, had been looking ahead.
The sea breeze blew in through the porthole. The old general felt some coolness, not only on his face, but also in his mind.
Put aside the grievances in history, now the British have actually started against the French navy, and the French Navy's counterattack is completely normal.
However, he always felt something unusual.
This time, it's definitely not as simple as your own shooting.
Germany will not give up this opportunity. Then, it is almost conceivable that Spain will take advantage of this opportunity to recover Gibraltar?
No matter, these have nothing to do with your own side. Now, I only fight for the honor of the Navy!
"General, Gibraltar is coming up ahead." The Deputy on one side said to him.
Our side came from the eastern Mediterranean. Now, when we are close to Gibraltar, we can't attack immediately, because there are tall rock mountains to block it, so we have to go around.
And this detour implies a risk. What will the other side do if the British on shore find out?
"Keep accelerating." Jean sur said, "all warships, get ready and fire at any time!"
What are you afraid of! In the dark, the accuracy of the other party's shore gun is also very poor. If it's not done well, they can't find their own warships. They just fire blindly. Once the other party fires, it will expose its position and provide target data for their own shooting.
Closer and closer, you can see the huge outline of the rock mountain in the dark. Every time you pass here, general sur will be attracted by the towering mountains here. At the same time, he also knows how tight the British army, which was still the allied army, was defending here!
Closer, closer, in the center of the channel, less than ten nautical miles from the southern end of Gibraltar. In everyone's nervous breathing, they have come around!
Let general sur look at his watch. Now, it's more than four o'clock in the morning. In an hour, the East will turn white.
"Order the troops to be ready for battle. When dawn comes, let's greet the British with heavy artillery!" It reminded general sur that just one day ago, his Navy was blocked to the door by the British navy and then attacked secretly.
At that time, my warship didn't launch. It was a hasty battle, which eventually led to my flagship being hit and stranded. Now, the retribution comes really fast!
English, let you taste it!
Colonel Holland, who had been temporarily detained, let general sur find that his temper was getting better and better. At that time, he didn't shoot his old friend immediately.
That's not what a general should do. Now, it's the right way!
After bypassing the southern tip of Gibraltar, the fleet changed its formation and continued to approach the West Bank of Gibraltar in a straight line. In this way, it can give full play to its firepower.
Anyway, Strasbourg has eight cannons in front.
At this time, their speed has been reduced. Speed is no longer important. Adjusting their angle is the most important.
"Damn it!" Just then, suddenly, there was a sound of curse from the bridge.
I saw a huge light shining on the top of the rock mountain in the distance.
The searchlights of this era are also quite far away, especially the large searchlights that search the sea can illuminate more than ten nautical miles!
Moreover, the searchlight is still searching for them!
And there's more than one!
On the top of the whole rock mountain, there are more than a dozen searchlights, which are shining towards them. With the irradiation of the light column, they can't see anything here.
It's a matter of minutes.
Now, it's half an hour before dawn.
"Naval gun, fire immediately and kill those searchlights!" Let general sur shout loudly.
In night warfare, the searchlight is a good helper. For example, in dealing with air raid at night, the searchlight and anti-aircraft artillery cooperate with each other. When the searchlight catches the aircraft, it is like a star on the stage. It is always shining, and the anti-aircraft artillery can fire.
It's the same now.
If you let these searchlights illuminate your warships, the shore guns here can aim at your own side and shoot, which is absolutely not allowed! So, just blow out these searchlights!
It was an accident. The shelling originally planned to be launched at dawn was forced to advance.
For the British, it was also an accident.
They originally deployed the radar. Unfortunately, because of the interference on the other side, they thought the radar was broken. Therefore, the radar soldiers were sleeping and waiting for the engineers to repair it.
But that doesn't mean they don't have any precautions.
The Strait of Gibraltar is a strategic place. Here, they should always be wary of German submarines sneaking in. After all, now, whether the sea power of the Mediterranean can be guaranteed depends on the door.
Therefore, in addition to radar, they also arranged underwater listeners in the sea to monitor the sound of submarines under the water.
As a result, the sound of the submarine was not heard, but the noise of the propeller of the ship on the water.
At first they didn't care, but they found that the noise was getting louder and louder, so the British garrison finally couldn't help it. They decided to search the sea with a searchlight to see what was on the sea.
This kind of searchlight deployed on the top of the mountain is as high as one person. A searchlight team is responsible for it. The light column is like a treasure knife, splitting the dark night sky and heading opposite.
The light column finally fell on the sea and moved slowly. On the base of the searchlight, two soldiers were slowly rotating. This thing was completely manually controlled.
One tube is pitching and the other tube is azimuth. They are slowly turning. The monitor with the best eyesight captures the situation on the sea through a telescope. Even if it is a periscope, he will find it!
"Stop!" Suddenly, he shouted.
In the field of vision, a big guy appeared.
Not a submarine, nor an ordinary cargo ship. In his pupil, he saw a terrible huge warship! What the searchlight caught was a huge naval gun, a quadruple gun barrel, a black gun barrel, pointing to him!
"Quickly, report to the company commander and find the French warship!"
There are no other naval guns in quadruple loading except those in France! And just after he said this, his retina was full of blazing flames.
The other side, fire!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
