Imperial Overlord
: 1122 The Battle of Kerch Sea
"Main artillery! Fire!" With Lindemann's order, the German fleet began a fierce attack. . fastest update
3 new warships, against an old warship, both sides have an absolute advantage on the German side in terms of firepower speed and protection.
Even a battlecruiser that doesn't pay attention to protection has better armor than the Soviet battleship Paris Commune built before the First World War.
So, when the battle started, Lindeman found himself fighting against the opponent's battleship.
This feels really cool, because when he was the captain of the Bismarck battleship, he dreamed of a day when he could command the fleet to crush his enemies.
In real historical time and space, Lindemann did not realize this dream, and sank into the icy bottom of the Atlantic Ocean with the battleship Bismarck.
In this historical time and space, he finally got what he hoped for, and led his own fleet to start a decent naval battle with the enemy fleet.
"Speed 26 knots! Get closer!" the engineer holding the steering wheel shouted loudly. The battlecruiser Scharnhorst was smashing through the waves, rushing towards the direction closer to the enemy fleet.
The two double-mounted turrets on the bow are pointing majestically at the enemy in the distance, spewing dazzling firelight.
"Boom!" In the second round of double-gun salvos, the German flagship took the lead, followed by the battlecruiser Repulse, which had fewer but larger caliber guns.
, In addition to the slightly slower speed, this battleship that the British surrendered and handed over to Germany is powerful.
It has three twin-mounted 381mm caliber cannons, which are definitely the mainstay of the German pursuit fleet in terms of firepower.
Just less than half a minute after the battlecruiser Scharnhorst opened fire, the battleship Repulse also opened fire, showing no sign of being soft-hearted.
Immediately afterwards, the third giant ship, the battlecruiser Gneisenau, also opened fire and attacked, and a dozen huge water jets were stirred up near the Soviet fleet.
"Adjust the shooting angle! 0.12 degree correction!" Behind the optical sight, the mechanical calculator quickly calculated the value that should be corrected, and the officer in charge of aiming loudly issued a correction order to the intercom.
Afterwards, all the raised guns began to correct their firing angles, preparing for the next more precise firing.
On the huge battleship, the steel turret rotated slightly, and the Germans had already adjusted the positions of the two sides to a more favorable state depending on their speed.
Although in a short period of time, they have not seized the absolutely advantageous position such as the T-shaped position, but the positions of the two sides have become parallel positions.
Under such a position, all German artillery can join the battle, and the absolute advantage of artillery can be fully exerted.
At this time, on the bridge of the Soviet battleship Paris Commune, General Gorshkov realized that he would not last long.
Naval warfare is a type of arms where technical weapons play a role. Once technically passive, you will only be beaten.
For example, in the Sino-Japanese naval battle, the technically inferior Chinese navy was beaten by the technically updated Japanese navy.
The disadvantage of speed is that if you win, you can't catch up, and if you lose, you can't run. The disadvantage in defense and the disadvantage in firepower also determines the outcome of a naval battle.
Gorshkov knew that he couldn't keep up with his opponents in speed, firepower and defense, so he could only delay some time for those ships with slower speeds.
"The enemy hasn't entered the firing range yet! How could they fire at such a distance?" Standing beside Gorshkov, the captain of the battleship Paris Commune murmured anxiously.
His ships only had 305mm guns, and they were old-fashioned guns. Not only is the range different, but the rate of fire is also huge.
The opponent did not enter the range of the Soviet Navy for a long time. Instead, it used the advantage of aiming accuracy and the advantage of firing rate and range to fire frequently at long distances.
The most terrible thing is, seeing that the opponent is about to go around the front of the Soviet Navy's queue, and use all the firepower to hit half of the Soviet Navy's firepower...
"Can our battleship still accelerate?" Gorshkov asked anxiously, ignoring his captain's desperate muttering there.
"It's already the maximum speed. If you go faster, there may be a problem with the boiler." The captain of the Paris Commune shook his head and replied.
"Let the fleet be full of left rudder, and always use broadside to confront the enemy! The enemy cannot be allowed to seize the T-position!" Gorshkov is a veteran of the navy, and he naturally knows the danger of being overtaken by the opponent.
He had to insist on using his broadsides to confront the enemy and develop his full firepower. Only in this way, the Soviet fleet could last longer.
"Boom!" A shell fell on the far side of the battleship Paris Commune, causing a huge water column.
Everyone who saw this water column swallowed a mouthful of saliva. If such a large shell really hit the battleship, I am afraid that the armor of the war level would not be able to withstand it...
"At least a caliber of 350 mm or more... the German battle fleet?" Gorshkov wondered in his heart.
Before he had time to think about it, a cannonball hit a Soviet cruiser~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This heavy blow made the Soviet cruiser tremble.
The huge explosion shrouded the bridge of the entire cruiser at once, and then the cruiser began to roll over. The massive flood of water completely paralyzed it in place, and it was only a matter of time before it sank.
After more than ten rounds of salvos, the German army finally found its own feeling. One shot hit the battleship of the Soviet Navy, and achieved the first victory since the start of the naval battle.
Gorshekov looked at the sunken battleship in the distance in pain, anxious and didn't know what to say.
If he turned around and ran away now, the fate would be the same. From the moment his fleet was overtaken, destruction was already doomed.
Now what he is thinking about is to bring as many German naval battleships as possible to be buried with him before he is completely wiped out.
But now, it seems that I still underestimate the power of the world's naval power, and the plan of pulling the German battleship to bury it is just an unrealistic fantasy.
"Continue to adjust the course! Flank the enemy! Prepare to fire!" He gritted his teeth and gave the order to continue fighting.
And just when he gave the order to continue the operation, the German navy's artillery shells once again landed on the water near the Soviet navy ship formation, stirring up a water column——
Longling added an update today! Finally, I have the courage to ask for a monthly pass, a recommendation ticket, and a reward! I ask everyone to support "Empire Overlord" a lot, thank you!
