Chapter 1290： Steal (1/2)
Chapter 1290
Under the blowing of the sea breeze, the white smoke emitted by the two German battleships that had used all-oil-fired boilers quickly dissipated in the half-black air. The speed of the German fleet at this time is not fast, about 15 knots, the rangefinder on the top of the mast is slowly turning, locking a small boat following the last of the fleet in the center of the field of vision!
”This little thing is really hard to find!” After passing the data measured by the rangefinder to the fire control room, an officer rubbed his stupid eyes. According to the Germans’ opinion, the first thing they must remove is the destroyer behind. These guys are the enemy of the submarine and the assassins in the night. In order to prevent the two German warships from being overturned in the gutter, these little guys must be removed first. .
”According to common sense, there should be one more ship, but it can't be found now. It will be completely dark in a few tens of minutes. Are we going to take action?” Raidel said while watching the darkening sky.
”Let Scharnhorst kill it in 5 rounds! After the flagship opened fire, Gneisenau immediately attacked the transport ship at the tail! Everyone is quicker, we only have dozens of minutes.” Su Xiong Commanded. ”Also, tell Colonel Schultz's wolves that they can move freely after nightfall.”
With the order of Su Xiong, the Scharnhorst-class fast battleship, which was called the Twin Death God of the Indian Ocean by the Allied Powers, once again showed its hideous teeth! 13000 meters! At 11 o'clock! The half volley begins! As the heavy fire door was opened, a 350MM shell weighing more than 600 kilograms and a drug package wrapped in silk and brass were extracted from the ammunition compartment deep in the battleship.
The artillery is placed at a loading angle of about 5 degrees, and the huge mechanical servo transports the cannonball to the rear of the artillery, and is placed into the barrel under the action of the mechanical push rod. (The earlier German dreadnoughts in history were pushed into the chamber by manpower, and there was a mechanical boost at the back, not to mention a mechanical push rod, which greatly improved the rate of fire!) Then the front section of the propellant pack, and In the second half wrapped in a brass shell, after a shell and 2 packs of propellant were pushed in, with the sound of steel sliding, the horizontal wedge breech block closed quickly!
Because of the short distance, the angle of elevation of the artillery was very small. Eight large, thick artillery pointed at the 11 o'clock direction of the battleship. At this time, the destroyer, which looked like a rabbit targeted by hunters, did not realize the approach of disaster. Still crashing behind the fleet at 10 knots and sailing slowly.
”High explosive bombs, fire!” 4 thick and long flames burst out from the muzzle instantly, one huge fireball even covered the half-drawn hull, 4 rounds of 635KG shells flew out of the muzzle at more than twice the speed of sound. Before the thunderous noise entered the ears of the Japanese, the water column splashed by 4 shells had already enveloped this poor warship!
”Nice work!” In the main rangefinder's field of vision, the water column splashed by a shell almost coincides with the target. This shows that even if the shell misses a hit, the landing point is very close, and it may even be a near miss. bomb! 4 shells were evenly scattered around this hapless Japanese destroyer, and successfully caught the opponent in the first round of shooting!
”Switch to effective shooting and fire at full speed!” The fire control officer issued an order. After 30 seconds, the second round of shells also flew out of the barrel!
