Chapter 1346: Two Forts
Before his death, the -98 submarine actually shot two torpedoes, which was sufficiently well-trained. Ordinary submarine troops had no time to shoot torpedoes. What's even more terrifying is that one of the torpedoes actually hit a Jianghe class.
This type of frigate has only a displacement of one thousand tons, and it is impossible to obtain comprehensive protection capabilities. It strives to be simple in structure and can be manufactured in large quantities. It is similar to the Soviet Union's idea and is a disposable consumable.
Now, after being hit by a torpedo, several unfortunate sailors were instantly blown up. The remaining people struggled to rescue them for half an hour, but they did not rescue the ship and had to board other warships.
Anti-submarine warfare is very dangerous, and this is also the significance of the existence of the destroyer. Even if it is sunk by torpedoes and sunk, it will not be distressed.
Just when the anti-submarine war ended here, the main force of the fleet had already approached the Crimean Peninsula and Sevastopol.
"It's a pity that it's not time for the government Sevastopol." On the bridge, Mashal said with some regret.
Now, the German Navy is still in a state of preparation for war. If the German Navy attacks this fortress alone, it can be taken down, but it will pay a huge price of casualties. This is something the German Navy and the empire cannot bear.
Therefore, they had to wait, waiting for the Romanian Legion to advance all the way, conquering the opposite Ukraine, and coming over on land, the navy only played an auxiliary role.
Now, with the Black Sea Fleet being wiped out, the importance of this fortress has decreased, and the Soviets were unable to continue to provide reinforcements from the sea, so they could lock them up
"Commander, our aircraft carrier is ready to take off the carrier-based aircraft." Fredberg said on the side of him: "They will take off and bomb the Soviet shore defense turrets."
Mashar nodded: "This time, we will use our bombers first and then our naval guns to completely destroy their shore defense turrets, so that the Soviets will know that from today on the Black Sea belongs to our German Navy."
Sevastopol is the gateway to the Black Sea Fleet. This important fortress, of course, has a shore defense artillery position. According to the city's layout, a total of two huge turret positions were established, namely the Gorky Fort and the Gorky Fort 2 Fort.
These turrets are very historical and have to be said to start in 904. At that time, the Russian government decided to strengthen the shore defense facilities of the Sevastopol naval base in Crimea and add two huge armored naval batteries.
As an important base for the Navy, there were originally inch naval artillery here. After more than 40 years of history, these old shore defense artillery were unblocked, and all loading operations were carried out manually, resulting in a fire rate as low as 2 minutes. At the same time, all the artillery was concentrated in the narrow seaside area from Cape Tolstoy to Quarantine Bay to defend the entrance to the Sevastopol Bay.
When facing the battleships of various powers of this era, the opponent could easily bombard Sevastopol from the offshore areas of Balaclava and Viagra Point through the mountains of Mekanji Jehelsonnez, 30 kilometers away. Therefore, the old shore artillery defense system must be fully updated and re-arranged.
Unfortunately, I went through too much time in the middle, and it was not until 928 that I started to build one after another and was basically completed by 934.
This turret is equipped with a 305mm naval gun built in St. Petersburg in 1993 for the battleships of the World War I era, and is equipped with a modern optical rangefinder and an automatic fire control station "barrier".
At the same time, in order to ensure the shooting of shore defense artillery, there is also a support network composed of observation stations, distributed in Cape Lukules, Alma, Kacha estuary, Cape Khersones, Cape Violent and the west coast of Balaclava Bay. After all, the range of the fort is extremely long, such a huge observation station network is indispensable.
Such a turret can reach Nikolayevka, Pohtovi or Bakhchisarai, controlling about 5,000 square kilometers of land.
At that time, the number of Fort No. 30 was given, which is the current Fort No. 30.
When the Germans had already begun sailing in the Mediterranean, the Soviet Union was keenly aware of the risks, and several identical 305mm naval guns were added to the Sevastopol city defense system to cover the maritime passages in the south of Sevastopol.
This sister fort was built in Cape Kelsones and the number obtained was 35, which is Gorky Fort No. 2.
In this way, Fort No. 30 guards the vast fan from Cape Lukules in the north, while Fort No. 35 controls the southern fan from Cape Hrsones to Cape Violent, which can effectively control the entire vast waters in front of the Sevastopol Fortress.
If the German Navy wants to sail unscrupulously in the Black Sea, it must destroy the Soviet Black Sea Fleet, including the fleet's base, and the shore defense artillery positions here are the key points they want to kill.
Now, Mashal was excited and had begun to plan a strike on these shore defense artillery positions, and Fredberg couldn't help but start pouring cold water on him: "General, our bombers may return without success. After all, the Soviets made strict arrangements there."
If it were on the endless vast coastline, the shore defense guns were clearly visible and could be seen at a glance, but the Soviets were obviously not so stupid. They deployed the shore defense guns in the woods, especially, they also had special camouflage nets and metal-made fake trees and fake shrubs to cover them. Bombers flying through the air did not easily find targets.
On the ground, it is not easy to infiltrate our own special forces.
"So, I suggest that we can drive the fleet to their range and attract them to fire, and then expose their turret locations, so that we can easily find their turret and destroy it."
Listening to Fredberg's words, Mashal certainly knew his intentions.
If you drive within the range close to their fire, your own naval gun will be enough. At this time, what kind of bomber will be used to directly attack your own naval gun.
However, this will put your fleet in danger. The 70,000-ton warship is the pride of the entire German Navy and cannot suffer losses in such a matchup.
Therefore, it is impossible for Mashar to agree to such a risky move.
"Our fleet cannot get close until our bombers destroy the turret." Mashar said it very clearly.
Those shore defense cannons have thick armor protection, but they can be easily destroyed in front of their own special bombs. If they can be solved by bombers, don't use battleships.
Fredberg complained: "I really can't understand what the Hindenburg-class warship we built is for? We can't participate in all kinds of battles, but we must be strictly protected!"
