"Boom, boom!" Shells fell one by one, and the fourth shell successfully hit the runway. In an instant, a deep pit with a diameter of more than 30 meters appeared on the runway.
A pilot who had just boarded the fighter plane and wanted to take off by force finally stopped. With the just explosion, the whole runway was damaged!
It's not just the big pit. With these explosions, the whole runway is full of all kinds of blown up fragments. It's easy to hit these fragments when taking off. As long as you accidentally hit them, it's a take-off accident!
The airport has been abandoned.
At the same time, in the port, several ships were ready to start after receiving the order.
Like the original French navy, they got up in a hurry. The first thing was to ignite the boiler!
They can't go out immediately. They can't go out until the water in the boiler is boiled and the steam pressure reaches.
This is the result of the sneak attack!
While they anxiously lit the fire, the East slowly revealed the white belly of the fish.
it's dawn!
At this time, these destroyers did not meet the starting conditions at all, and when they saw the French warships on the sea, they were desperate.
That's definitely the French capital ship! The big guys with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons have come.
Even if they can start, it is definitely not to go out to fight, but to quickly escape and save a destroyer, which is their greatest credit!
Now, it's too late.
In the past, French warships were firing at fixed targets on land, but now, with dawn, they have noticed the British warships.
Think about the day before, you were held in the port and attacked by the British fleet, and now you can finally return it!
"Boom!" The battleship Strasbourg fired eight guns at once and hit the port. The shells fell into the water and splashed a column of water more than ten meters high. In the first round of volley, one shell successfully hit one of the other's destroyers!
This time, the armor piercing projectile was loaded. The 330 mm armor piercing projectile hit the destroyer. What was the reaction?
The shell passed through the weak hull of the other party, as if it were tearing a layer of tissue paper, and easily tore open the hull of the destroyer.
This armor piercing projectile can tear apart 300 mm thick armor, but now it is just a destroyer that is not even 30 mm thick. This kind of warship is not used to bomb.
"Boom!" The armour piercing bullet drilled into the other party's ship body. Then, in the loud explosion, the destroyer burst into two sections directly from the middle. It hardly struggled and fell into the water.
This is just like a human tragedy!
The whole of Gibraltar was being bombarded by French naval guns, trembling and groaning.
"Where's the shore gun? Our shore gun, fire at once! " Now, with the dawn, finally, the counterattack of the British garrison will officially begin!
On our side, we can not only be beaten passively. You know, the most important task of the British Army stationed in Gibraltar is to blockade the Strait of Gibraltar when necessary.
So, they still have a lot of shore guns!
Generally speaking, shore artillery is a symbol of passive defense. No matter how powerful the artillery is, no matter how well the fort is defended, it can't move. It can only passively wait for others to fight. It has the upper hand in the confrontation, and the enemy can't pursue after retreating.
However, this understanding is absolutely one-sided. Although the shore artillery is defensive in tactics, it can be aggressive in strategy. One of the great significance of its existence is to liberate the fleet.
The fleet is inseparable from the port. If the port is raided, the fleet will lose support and collapse without war. Therefore, any activity of this fleet cannot be far away from the port.
With the protection of the fort at the port, the fleet can perform various tasks far away from the port.
At the same time, another use of shore guns is to block the Strait. Not only Gibraltar here, but also Britain has the fortress of port said, Bosporus and Tatar Neil fortress in Turkey, Hanko fortress in the Soviet Union, Sharm el Sheikh fortress in Egypt and so on.
For example, in Gibraltar today, the rock mountain is a huge fortress. Based on the rock mountain, the British have deployed some shore guns here. The largest caliber is two 356 mm guns.
In terms of caliber, this shore gun is larger and has a longer range than the naval gun of the French fleet. At the same time, the shore gun has some outstanding advantages over the naval gun.
Naval guns are mounted on warships and can shake. Each time they shoot, they need to adjust the firing data.
The shore gun is not used.
Shore gun is a naval gun installed on an unsinkable continent. There is no limit on weight and volume. Moreover, it can also rely on the terrain advantages to form a shore gun group.
Because it is fixed, the channel coordinates within the control range can be calculated in advance. When you see the target and directly bind the data, you can fire, and there is no restriction on ammunition inventory.
The advantages of accuracy, observation and standing far from anti-aircraft fire make the shore artillery a very powerful weapon. It can be said that the shore artillery group generally teaches the enemy's fleet to be a man as long as it is not too bad.
However, before the sun rose, the shore artillery did not fire, and general Eddie did not order them to fire.
Because their shore guns have shortcomings, that is, they are reloaded.
After all, it's embedded in the mountains. It's not easy to dig a shore gun bunker. If we engage in automatic hoists, there's no doubt that we need more space.
Therefore, their shore guns are loaded manually. In this way, it takes at least 20 minutes to load a shell.
In other words, they have only one shot, and they must hit it with one shot! Because next, these French will escape!
Brigadier general Eddie insisted on this view, so he didn't let the shore gun fire. It was not easy to aim in the dark. Now, it's dawn, and he can finally fire!
His orders were quickly transmitted to the shore Artillery Force, which was still anxiously waiting for the power to be restored.
Why hasn't the emergency generator started yet?
If there is no power supply, do they have to fill it manually? What a terrible problem that would be!
You know, the shells of naval guns are packed separately. Even so, a warhead weighs half a ton. It's fatal to insert it into the gun chamber by manpower.
Wait, wait!
In fact, they were gathered at the beginning of the French shelling, but after that, they have been waiting, waiting, waiting until now, and did not wait until the power supply was restored!
"We can't wait any longer. The governor ordered us to fire and load manually at once!" Finally, the commander in the gun position shouted.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Boom, boom!" Shells fell one by one, and the fourth shell successfully hit the runway. In an instant, a deep pit with a diameter of more than 30 meters appeared on the runway.
A pilot who had just boarded the fighter plane and wanted to take off by force finally stopped. With the just explosion, the whole runway was damaged!
