The first thousand one hundred and sixty-ninth chapters queue to be shot
When the German fleet came up, the entire Red Flag Baltic fleet was stunned.
The bombers in the sky are terrible, but the number of bombers is insufficient. If dozens of bombers are flew in by the Germans, they can destroy their fleets.
Now, you can count it with just one hand, and all the bombers are going to deal with large targets, and they don’t even look down on small targets.
On one side of the formation, a Tashkent-class destroyer immediately drove at full speed, trying to squeeze into the narrow channel.
The Tashkent-class destroyer is also evidence of friendship between Germany and the Soviet Union, because this class of destroyer was completely built by the Germans, and the Soviet Union used agricultural products and iron ore to exchange it for it.
This kind of destroyer has excellent performance. The warships made by Germany are more refined than those made by the Soviet Union. Due to the excellent engine performance, this warship can reach a high speed of 42 knots.
It was originally behind the fleet, but now, after driving at full speed, it quickly moved forward, surpassing one warship after another, crowded into the channel within the trumpet, and drove past the sinking Mara.
The German warships came on, and only by passing through the waterway can they be absolutely safe. The Germans could not pass here quickly. The waterway here is the passage of life and death.
Anyway, there is no commander of the fleet coming out to command now, so it is not a violation of the rules for them to escape like this.
Black smoke came out of the chimney at the top, and the Tashkent-class destroyer quickly moved upwards towards the channel, attracting dissatisfaction from the surrounding ships.
"No, stop, you idiot!" Captain Alexandrov shouted loudly on the cruiser of the Kirov, "The waterway is only twenty meters deep, and you will bump into the sunken Mara!"
As an experienced cruiser captain, Alessandrov knew very well that the purpose of the German attack was to block the waterway. Unexpectedly, there were still people on his side to aggravate this chaos.
The waterway is insufficient, and the Mara has already sunk, but if you look closely, you can find that the Mara has almost never passed. When you start moving over at this time, it is like hitting a reef, and it will hit the Mara.
"No, we will go over from the side." said the Tashkent-class captain: "Right rudder, let's go around."
"Bang!" At this moment, a heavy impact sound came, and the bow of the ship had already hit the tail propeller of the Mara.
The Mara was sank in two sections, with a bulge at the tail and the propeller was almost one meter deep under the water. Now, the bow of the ship hits at a speed of more than 40 knots, and it can't withstand this kind of blow at all. The bow of the ship was knocked open a big hole.
Just when they were busy trying to escape, the German fleet had already started the first round of shooting. No one saw that in the sky above his head, a carrier-based seaplane flew over him, which was responsible for artillery school shooting missions.
The "Scharnhorst" is a warship with outstanding meritorious destruction that once sank the British aircraft carrier in naval battles, but now it is completing another mission to destroy the Baltic fleet of the Soviets.
On the bridge, Captain Claude's eyes were filled with joy, looking at the Soviet warships in the distance.
"The target, the Soviet cruiser in front, after the test fire, two rounds of volleys." Captain Claude's order was quite detailed.
Before becoming the captain, he was the gun captain of this warship. He was the most familiar with how to control the cannons of the warship. Now, they are advancing towards the Soviet warship, fifteen nautical miles away.
If it was in a fast pursuit, the accuracy of this kind of shelling at a distance would not be very high, but now it is different.
The Soviet warships were gathering towards the narrow channel, but unfortunately the channel was blocked, so the warships could only stay there, which was like queuing up to be shot.
When they decided to attack the main force and use naval guns to deal with it, the fleet commander ordered the aviation troops to destroy the shore gun positions, which was a very wise decision.
For them, the current Soviet Baltic Fleet was a piece of fat, waiting for them to get out of their mouths, and the only threat was the shore artillery position.
At the same time, they are now shooting at a distance of fifteen nautical miles, and this is also considered. Although the Soviets' shore cannons had a maximum caliber of 305 mm, those shore cannons have been going on for too long. They were the cannons from Krupp decades ago, and these cannons no longer have the ability to attack long distances.
Now, the warship is still sailing forward, so it is using four 380mm naval guns in front. At this time, the naval guns in the middle of the No. 1 turret were pulled up to elevate. Then, a loud bang and a burst of black smoke filled the entire warship.
The first test shot has begun.
The shells flew towards the Soviet warship opposite with a sharp roar.
The 380mm naval gun is used to deal with the enemy's tens of thousands of tons of battleships. It is now used to fight cruisers with a displacement of less than 10,000 tons, which is simply a killing knife.
What's even more terrifying is the high precision of this kind of naval gun. It used to record hits in the dynamic shooting at 25,135 meters, and now, its first test-firing shell is even more magical.
The goal is still.
The Soviet fleet had no way out.
In front, the German fleet lined up in an arc to form an encirclement and came toward Kronstadt. In their encirclement, near the waterway, were nearly twenty warships of the Soviets, large and small, trembling there.
At this time, if the Baltic Fleet had enough courage, they could actually rush out.
The German encirclement has terrible battleships and thick gun barrels that make people feel irritated, but at the same time, they also have destroyers and frigates. Their half-circle encirclement has many weak areas.
At this time, if they make up their minds and fight to the death, they can rush out some of them, or even save half of the warships.
But they did not. They just leaned on the waterway, hoping to drive away these terrible German fleets by relying on the shore artillery community on the shore.
It was like a group fight in school, and a group of people surrounded several younger brothers from lower grades, and the rest was beaten up.
The first shell cut through the air and made a terrifying hiss. Because the Soviet fleet was too concentrated with each other, although the shell was far away and did not hit the target cruiser, it hit the Tashkent-class destroyer in front of it that was blocked on the channel.
