Chapter 1369 shelling Odessa
"Is there any news?" asked Rear Admiral Zhukov in the command center.
These days, he rarely slept with a full sleep, and yesterday, he had even suffered from insomnia since sending a rescue team.
There is his daughter there, and if possible, he certainly hopes to be rescued.
The adjutant shook his head: "No."
No news is good news, at least there is no bad news.
"General, it's not good!" At this moment, another adjutant hurriedly ran in from outside.
"What happened?" asked Major General Zhukov. At this moment, he thought it was his daughter's bad news.
"A German fleet appeared on the sea!" said the adjutant.
On the sea?
Rear Admiral Zhukov pushed open the window and from this side he could see without any obstruction a huge fleet appeared on the southern sea.
Those fleets were raising gun barrels, and they looked so spectacular, especially in the center of the fleet, the giant battleship, which looked the most dazzling.
As a major general, he knew that all the equipment of the German Navy and that huge warship were the most proud of the Hindenburg class with a full load displacement of 70,000 tons!
Although Zhukov was commanding the battle in Odessa, he also knew the situation in the Black Sea. His Black Sea fleet had been wiped out, and the German navy could sail around the Black Sea.
After controlling the Black Sea, the Germans cut off Odessa's maritime support. When the land direction was already surrounded by the Romanians, the sea was cut off by the Germans, and their fate was not optimistic.
And now, this more direct result made him realize something immediately.
Originally, he thought that his side could hold on for another half a month, even if Tamsui was gone, they would still hold on. Now, the arrival of the Germans is to bring destruction to them completely.
In this world, there is nothing that Germany cannot conquer!
On the bridge, Lieutenant General Mashar looked at the city with a telescope. At the top of the city's buildings, the flags of sickles and hammers were still flying, and Lieutenant General Mashar's face was cold.
"Note, the entire fleet pays attention to the target, the southeast of Odessa city, the Soviet-controlled area, opened fire, let the Soviets know the outcome of the stubborn resistance!"
"Note, the whole ship, volley!" Fredberg issued an order in great excitement.
"Boom!" Nine 460mm naval guns opened fire together. The entire sea surface was instantly surrounded by a huge ball of flames. Black smoke rose, as if it was a demon coming out of hell. Nine huge shells flew towards the opposite city of Odessa.
"Boom!" Italy's 320mm naval gun also opened fire violently. This kind of task is their favorite. Don't worry about accuracy, as long as it can be shot.
"Boom, boom!" Naval guns of all calibers are firing, 283 mm, 203 mm, even an ordinary 150 mm secondary gun can fire.
In an instant, the entire sea surface was shrouded in the rich fire, and the fleet disappeared in the fire.
"Come on, Germans, we will fight to the last moment and will never surrender!" Rear Admiral Zhukov looked at the sea that had been dyed red in the distance, knowing that the terrible shells were about to arrive.
"Boom!" The 460mm shell landed near the command center, and a huge explosion came. The nearby buildings collapsed with a bang, just like a weak thatched hut.
The glass of the command center had long been broken, and Major General Zhukov stood in front of his command center and looked at the sea in the distance.
"General, go down, it's dangerous here." The adjutant said to him.
Major General Zhukov shook his head: "No, this is my post, I will stick to it until the end."
This is not reckless. Major General Zhukov understood that his command, even the underground fortifications, would at most block the shooting of a 150mm grenade. Now, among the shells coming from afar, 460 and 320 cannonballs can completely lift up the entire underground air defense fortification.
It’s useless to hide below, it’s better to stay here upright!
"Boom, boom!" The second round of shelling arrived, and the whole of Odessa was trembling, the earth moaned, and countless fortifications turned into ruins in the shelling, taking away the lives of countless people.
Even the offensive troops who had already retreated to the back could feel this terrible momentum.
Looking at the black smoke rising in the east, the people from the 502 Armored Battalion were also talking.
Their rat tanks, equipped with 128mm tank guns, are already very perverted. Those unbreakable fortifications can hit the sky with one shot. Therefore, as tank players of rat tanks, they are naturally proud.
But now, in front of the navy's naval guns, they suddenly felt their insignificance.
"A 460mm naval gun can explode a target the size of a football field with one shot. It is impossible to have a living mouth near the explosion area. The depth of the crater in the center of the explosion can exceed ten meters." Kurt sighed: "If we can install such cannons, we can destroy a street with one shot."
"Impossible, such cannons can only be installed on warships. They are too heavy. If they are installed on tanks, our tanks will probably have thousands of tons and no road can bear them. Unless..." Schmidt did not say anything unless he tried two times.
"Unless it is installed on the railway." Hans took over and said.
In fact, Hans has a unique advantage. He knows more inside information. In Krupp's factory, there are really such railway cannons with a caliber of 800 mm.
It is said that his father was not optimistic about this huge cannon for railway transportation and believed that it was too adaptable to the battlefield. However, his uncle liked this super cannon very much, so Krupp Company independently developed it.
I don’t know when this kind of cannon will appear on the battlefield.
The earth continues to tremble, and those outside can watch the fun, and at this time, those in the bombarded area can feel the arrival of the god of death.
"Boom!" With the huge explosion, the underground air defense fortifications were also shaking, making people feel unsteady.
Even the veterans can't help but open their mouths to balance the pressure difference between inside and outside the eardrum, so they don't seem afraid.
At this moment, a more terrifying collision suddenly appeared above their heads. They raised their heads and looked at the top of the reinforced concrete of the air defense fortification five meters deep underground, and suddenly cracked.
A terrifying big bomb whizzed from there, and when it drilled through the concrete on the top, the delay fuse was triggered.
"Boom!" The hot fire illuminated everyone's eyes. Before they even heard the sound, they were torn apart by the terrible airflow and debris.
No one survived. In the closed space, the explosion of this shell achieved the greatest killing effect. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas hugged all the more than 500 people in the entire fortification into meat foam and turned into ashes, and then the top cover was torn apart.
