The speed of sound is only 340 meters per second, while the speed of shells can easily exceed 7, 800 meters per second, or even thousands of kilometers per second.

Therefore, when firing shells, if the distance is far, it is absolutely the first to see the flames of artillery firing. Even if the shells have been blown on their own side, they can't hear the sound of firing. The sound hasn't arrived yet!

Now, in the dark, the flames fired by the other side's naval guns can be seen more clearly. This can only explain one thing, that is, the French fleet opened fire on its own side!

"Alarm, alarm, it's the French fleet, shooting at us!" The searchlights shouted and cursed. What's the matter? Is the French crazy?

If the Germans came, they could accept it, but now, they are French! Britain and France were originally a family. Now the French have just surrendered to Germany. Is this how to show their loyalty?

French navy, you are really ashamed of the Navy!

At this time, the British people were cursed. They didn't know how much anger the French opposite had. At the same time, the accuracy of the French's first round of fire was also very high!

If it is a fleet operation, moving to move, it can be said that it is entirely by luck. It often shoots dozens of rounds and can't touch the opposite side.

In history, the French navy had bad luck in the combat effectiveness of the confrontation between Britain and France. They didn't hit a shell!

Now, the French navy with hatred aims at stationary targets on the land, especially those searchlights. They are so clear that they will never empty!

"Boom!" On the Strasbourg, eight 330 mm main guns opened fire together. This scene is incomparably spectacular. In the darkness of dawn, the fire of naval guns lit up half the sea. Then, black smoke shrouded the whole warship.

Under the huge recoil force, the whole warship seemed to tremble. However, the huge ship body successfully buffered the recoil force. Compared with the side firing of other battleships, their forward firing had less impact on the ship body.

The cannonball drew a beautiful arc in the air with a trailing light. When the arc flew over, the searchlight soldiers opposite were scared out of their wits.

These naval guns are aimed at them. Damn it!

Run, run!

Searchlight soldiers are very dangerous. For example, after covering a fighter, they should firmly control the other party. At this time, the other party's fighter can easily dive towards the searchlight and shoot with machine guns.

They are not afraid, they will resist tenaciously, because they are searchers, which is their duty!

However, it is different now. They can not be afraid of machine guns, but they must not be afraid of artillery, especially heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 300 mm!

"Boom!" The first shell exploded 15 meters near the searchlight. This high explosive grenade lifted the top of the limestone mountain in an instant! Countless stones flew around with fragments of bombs. The searchlight was immediately affected.

Countless people screamed and fell.

A large caliber naval gun, a shell, has enough lethality to cover the area of a basketball court!

A huge stone hit the monitor's head. His head, like a balloon, burst open in an instant. His body fell down, rolled a few times, and fell to the other side of the almost vertical mountain.

The 330 mm high explosive bomb has great power. Needless to say, it can be destroyed at a distance of 15 meters, even 50 meters!

Besides, there were not one, but eight!

Heavy artillery has a long life, almost a few hundred rounds. If it is a fierce naval battle, it may be scrapped after two or three times. Now, the French navy, angered by the sneak attack, doesn't care about the life of its naval guns and beats these damn Britons!

"Boom!" The second shell accurately hit the searchlight. At this time, the searchlight had long been destroyed by the first shell. When the second shell hit, not only the remains of the searchlight, but also the base of the searchlight were lifted off. Moreover, under the searchlight, there was a one meter thick concrete base, and under the base, there was two meters thick limestone. This shot came down, It's all opened!

Under the limestone, there is a bunker.

Over the years, Britain has been building fortifications in Gibraltar, and the whole rock mountain has almost become a huge fortification community.

At the top of the rock mountain, the view is the most open. It is absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack. Here, a bunker is arranged to take a panoramic view of the flat land in the west of Gibraltar.

Here, there lived an infantry platoon with four macchin heavy machine guns, which were their main weapons.

Now, they are still sleeping.

The first shell woke them up. Just when they got up from bed and wanted to know what had happened, the second shell came.

So their roof collapsed, and huge stones and concrete fragments fell from the sky and hit them. They screamed and couldn't move.

"Boom!" The third shell fell nearby again. In the huge explosion, the whole fortification could no longer be saved. When the vibration stopped, there were no caves.

When all eight shells fell, the top of the whole rock mountain was forcibly cut off by fifteen or six meters! With the searchlight as the center and a radius of about 180 meters, there are no living creatures.

The power of naval guns is such a madness. No matter how strong Fortifications on land, they are slag in front of large-diameter naval guns!

In history, Hitler highly praised super cannons, which is why.

Apart from the Strasbourg, other battleships were also firing at Gibraltar. After the first round of volley, there were no searchlights on the Rocky Mountains.

The whole sea was plunged into darkness again. The defenders of Gibraltar who were awakened by the huge explosion looked at the sea with trembling. There was a huge demon like existence there!

"Continue shooting and carry out the second round of attack according to the target assigned in advance!" Let general sur on the flagship and continue to shout.

It was intended to attack after dawn, but now that it has been found, continue the attack!

Let the British know that the French navy will not be conquered by their tricks!

Now that we have decided to start with the French navy, we must be prepared to bear the retaliation of the French Navy!

Although it is still dark, Gibraltar is not completely dark. In addition to the broken searchlights, Gibraltar, as a military base, has many places on, such as aircraft runways, docks in harbors, power plants, which are the targets to be destroyed by the French Navy!
