Chapter 1349 The naval guns have long been hungry and thirsty
The Soviets did not take the bait!
It is not so easy to bomb the ground from the air, and it is not the era when there were global positioning systems in later generations. As long as you know the coordinates of the other party accurately, you can bomb. This era must be visually discovered.
It is not difficult to hide the target. In history, the Soviets even hid the Kremlin, and German bombers flew over it many times but couldn't find it.
Even targets like the Kremlin can be hidden, not to mention a mere shore defense gun position. After careful disguise, it cannot be found from the sky.
Even if the German pilots used ground strafing, they did not force them out. In short, they were not fooled, and even anti-aircraft guns did not fire in the air, and they were not exposed at all.
This has caused a problem for the Germans.
"Commander, we can only force their shore defense cannons to open fire by getting close and bombarding them with ship guns." Fredberg continued to advise: "Now, we can only rely on our warships, especially our Stuttgart, which are thickly armored and don't care about the opponent's 305mm naval guns. And when our warships pass by, they will definitely open fire."
I have long wanted to fight a vigorous naval battle, but unfortunately, apart from training, I have not fired a cannon in actual combat. How can Fredberg be content?
He is waiting for opportunities, he is fighting for opportunities.
Mashar nodded: "Yes, it seems that if we don't dispatch our main battleship, we can't induce the other party to open fire. If that's the case..."
Fredberg looked at Mashal with anticipation, but followed, disappointed again.
"Order the Earl of Cafur to lead the Italian fleet to shell the Fortress of Sevastole," said Maschar.
Why are they the good things? Suddenly, Fredberg was extremely disappointed and was about to turn against Mashal on the spot, but he suppressed it. Of course he knew that Mashal's arrangement was better.
Last time, the Italian army intercepted several Soviet warships, but they didn't stop them. These guys were too weak to be used as main force, but they had to explore their value, right? In this case, it would be nice to let them lure the enemy!
When they lure the enemy, they must be their own Stuka to attack. After so many days of tossing, their own naval guns still have no chance to fire?
"General, we fire outside the other party's range, is that okay? If you don't agree, I will ask Berlin and Head of Cialis to ask for instructions. You are interested in suppressing us." Fredberg also took the initiative. In the army, reporting oversteps is a taboo, but he showed it as a tool to threaten Mashar without hesitation.
It’s impossible that the battle is over and we don’t do anything, right?
While speaking, Fredberg stood up and held his back. At this moment, he was willing to offend the person in front of him who was several levels higher than his military rank.
What awesome, I won’t accept it if I don’t fight me!
He was ready for Mashar to answer him in angry words. Who knew that Mashar actually smiled: "Okay, then at the farthest distance, um, sixty nautical miles, three volleys, how about?"
When Fredberg heard the word "Sixty Nautical Miles", he was immediately disappointed.
Fredberg wanted to fire outside the opponent's range, so that he could completely ensure his safety. The opponent's 305mm naval gun had a maximum range of about 30 kilometers. In fact, in order to take care of the hit accuracy, he generally would not fire twenty kilometers away.
Therefore, he planned to open fire twenty kilometers away from the other party. In this way, using a telescope, he could see the spectacular scene of his own firing. At the same time, it also facilitated the cannon leader to correct the ballistics and try to directly hit their shore defense cannons with his own naval guns, which would make the opponent's turret explode. That scene was spectacular.
But now, Mashar actually let him see nothing sixty nautical miles away! They just rose a few black smoke from the sea, and then there was nothing.
If it is an ordinary 460 naval gun, the maximum range is more than 40 kilometers, Germany can maintain a considerable accuracy at this distance with its spirit of excellence and outstanding craftsmanship.
In this era, no one would have thought that the range of naval guns would be as high as hundreds of nautical miles, but for Germany, this is not a big problem.
This is the rocket extended range bomb. At the time of the Graf, the 283-mm naval gun shot its shells out hundreds of nautical miles, successfully shocking the US transport ships.
On Stuttgart, of course, there is also such rocket extended-range bombs. It is no problem to hit a hundred nautical miles, but the effect is much worse, because the warheads of the rocket extended-range bombs are filled with solid rocket fuel, and the mass of the warheads is constantly reduced during flight, so it is not as exciting as normal armor-piercing bombs.
Not to mention sixty nautical miles, this is because now we are only sixty nautical miles away from the other side's fortress. If it were further apart, Mashar would definitely say a greater distance.
"Five volleys, let's fire first." Fredberg still compromised, and he could only fight for a while now. He was waiting for Mashal to disagree, but Mashal just said lightly: "Okay, promise you."
Suddenly, Fredberg was stunned, and then he realized that he had been teased by Mashar again. Although the shooting of his naval gun would waste the lifespan of the precious naval gun, it was also a means of demonstrating to the Soviets.
Since Mashar has agreed, he simply does not vaguely: "Note, Turret No. 1, Turret No. 2, Turret No. 3, maximum charge, extended range bullet, target, sixty nautical miles away, Gorky Fortress, No. 1, Gorky, Battery, will give me your skills! Craft the plane and take off immediately!"
Now he doesn't have to move at all, he can just fire here!
As for the Italian warships, it would take at least an hour to get close to the range of the Soviet shore defense guns. I didn't wait that long, and my naval guns were already hungry.
In the bridge, Fredberg issued battle orders one by one, and ignored Mashal who was standing beside him. What are you afraid of? Just now Mashal made it clear and agreed to open the fire first. Don’t think you are always being played with!
