My Third Empire

This may be the most interesting naval battle in human history. When both sides have aircraft carriers, the battleships are finally allowed to conduct artillery battles to determine the outcome. When the navies of both sides raised their gun barrels as thick as chimneys at the farthest distance, the last cry of the old navy echoed and lingered over the Atlantic Ocean for a long time.

Fire! On the bridge, the artillery commander of the Royal Navy, who was pinching the phone, finally gave the order for the fleet to fire, and then the 380mm caliber main gun on the battleship HMS Villain issued its own terrible fire a few seconds later. roar.

In fact, the turn of the British naval fleet has not been completed this time, so the battleship HMS Villain finally fired with only 4 main guns. However, this time the roar was still earth-shattering, and the British naval soldiers who were looking forward to the decisive battle of the artillery at sea cheered excitedly.

They have waited for too long, from the Battle of the English Channel to the present, all British navies are looking forward to destroying those hateful German enemies with their opponents in the familiar rhythm of artillery battles. It's a pity that the war has been erupting since the outbreak. So far, the German Navy has played with aircraft carriers to change the mode of war, and then launched submarines to fight wolves.

In short, the most powerful and proudest fleet artillery battle of the British army has never occurred. Britain is like a mighty buffalo, full of brute strength but helplessly discovering that the enemy it faces is holding a shotgun.

Now, it's different! Everything has changed! They finally waited for a chance to take revenge, and a chance to show off with a cannon. So when the roar of the four main guns on the battleship HMS Villain had not stopped, the nine 406mm cannons on the battleship Nelson fired again, and the huge shock caused ripples in the surrounding sea water Come.

Boom! Even though he was covering his ears, this singing-like voice still hit the hearts of every British navy sailor! They can finally have a fair fight with the cunning enemy, and they can finally fight a familiar war with the Germans!

Watching these cannonballs rush out of their barrels and fly to places invisible in the distance, all the soldiers continued to work, cleaning the huge barrels with various equipment, cleaning up the residue of gunpowder, and firing the cannonballs again. The charge is reloaded into the barrel of the cannon, and the bombardment of the enemy in the distance is resumed.

...

If it is said that the British Navy is cheering for finally ushering in a fair fighting opportunity; then, the battleship squadron of the German Navy is equally excited at this moment. They are excited that they can finally make their debut, they are excited that they are finally not without a sense of existence!

Throughout the war, although the British battleships were sunk by the German Navy one after another, they were all fighting and fighting real naval battles. As the battleship force of the German Navy,

The only time he played was a support mission like bombarding Iceland - whoever would command this battleship fleet would have to think about how he could make a difference.

So when the British Royal Navy thought that it had finally ushered in the opportunity, Bastian, the commander of the German battleship fleet, was also delighted to find that his opportunity to make contributions had just come. Now is the time for a man to become famous and return home! That's what's on his mind right now.

Although the German Navy is not as elite as the British Royal Navy in terms of artillery battles, the German Navy now has three battleships! In this level of artillery battle, overwhelming the opponent in numbers is definitely an advantage that cannot be ignored. Bastian seems to have seen the goddess of victory beckoning to him.

Order to fire! The Führer has already foreseen victory! Long live Greater Germany! Bastian gave the order to fire while the British warship was firing. So after a few seconds of short preparations, the three battleships of the German Navy, which were waiting in full battle, used their naval guns to send their first round of greetings to their opponents.

Boom! The 18 406mm main guns fired back and forth, making a deafening sound, which excited the hearts of all German navy sailors. The most powerful artillery weapon in human history is used so intensively, the momentum is enough to make everyone who has seen it feel in awe.

Don't wonder why there are so many turret cults, caliber cults and battleship cults in later generations. The big guns definitely have infinite charm and can satisfy the primitive ambitions of men, so it is no wonder that even in the era of flying missiles, the big guns still have vast believers and markets.

Watching the enemy within the field of vision, being torn into pieces by his own shells, and destroyed into a ball of explosive fireworks is definitely a kind of manly romance that is extremely refreshing. It is not difficult to understand why Japan, which has the advantage of naval aviation, is still playing battleship games after Pearl Harbor.

Boom! Different from the sprint formation of the British Royal Navy Squadron, the German warships had time to set up a defensive formation and seized the advantageous T-position in naval battles. This allowed German battleships to fire with all of their hull-mounted guns.

This roar came from the front and rear turrets on the Admiral Raeder, a total of eight 380mm caliber cannons. The main guns of a battleship cannot fire at the same time for a real salvo, so this sound roar is actually the sound of continuous firing of 8 guns with a very short interval.

Germany fired a total of 26 shells in this salvo, while the British Navy only fired a poor 13 shells. With just one shot, the total amount of ammunition delivered by the German Navy reached twice that of the British Navy. The superiority in numbers and the superiority in position were fully manifested at the moment when the battle started.

On the muzzle of the German battleship that fired this round, the gunpowder smoke has not yet cleared. On the sea surface near the three battleships sailing at a constant speed, the large-caliber artillery shells fired by the falling British Royal Navy splashed huge waves tens of meters high. water column. It is very difficult to fire a cannon on the undulating sea and hit a moving target. To ensure that the target is hit, one can only rely on skilled training, luck against the sky, and constant adjustment of the shooting angle.

It's a pity that the disadvantaged British Royal Navy seems to have an absolute advantage in these things. The German Navy seems to have an advantage in number and position, but on the two battleships Ukraine and Belarus following the battleship Admiral Raeder, a large group of interns and trainee officers are manning the battleships.

Moreover, the two battleships handed over to Germany by the Soviet Union had some design problems, which caused the reloading speed of the shells to be extremely slow when firing, and they could not be compared with the well-designed and skilled Nelson.

The enemy ship is firing! On the mast of the Ukrainian battleship, an observer nervously shouted into the phone leading to the bridge: The shells landed in the sea not far in front of us...Oh my god! They fought really well! Sure, it almost hit us!

And the shell he said almost hit was at least 500 meters away from them. Bastian was looking at the water column stirred up in the distance with a telescope at this time. As a veteran who had experienced World War I, he immediately realized that he was too optimistic before.

After all, it was the British Empire that took down most of the world with artillery! After all, it was the navy of the country that was once invincible at sea and known as the country on which the sun never sets! The best way to defeat this navy is to change the rules of the game of naval warfare... because anyone who starts a naval battle according to the old rules will face the most powerful attack of the British Royal Navy.

Send a telegram to Admiral Raeder and General Lütjens! Quick! Let them take off the plane as soon as possible! Come and support us! Bastian immediately gave up the idea of ​​facing the British Royal Navy battleship alone, and he began to cherish Let’s recall the days when we were around the aircraft carrier as a large anti-aircraft battleship: At least in those days, we don’t have to worry about it, do we?

The shells fired by the German Navy almost elicited a burst of laughter from the sailors of the British Navy on the opposite side. Compared with the shells fired by the British Navy, more shells landed in front of the British Navy fleet, but the water column was scattered everywhere. There is a trace of accuracy. So the soldiers of the British Navy continued to adjust their artillery, and fired their second salvo from a better angle.

The German navy sailors in the distance are busy at this moment, cleaning the barrel of the gun with inefficient cooperation, and loading the shells with difficulty. It will take at least a long time before the next salvo. time. The only one who can keep up with the rhythm is the German army on the battleship Admiral Raeder, who is better trained and has more actual combat experience. They demonstrated the rigorous combat quality of the German army, which is almost the same as their British counterparts on the opposite side.

Boom! Shortly after the British opened fire, the German Navy's second round of salvos also responded to the past. This time only the flagship of the Battleship Squadron of the High Seas Fleet fired. So 8 shells from the German Navy flew towards the British Navy in the distance, and after a few seconds, the second round of salvo fired by the British Navy landed on the top of the German Navy battleship.

This time, the British Royal Navy made a straddle shot. The shell fell into the water behind the German Navy warship, and it was closer to the German Navy warship than the distance of the previous explosion-everyone who is familiar with naval battles knows that the next time the British Navy shoots, it is possible to hit the German Navy warship. sex, quite high.
