Third Reich: I took over power

"General, it's a heavy artillery, definitely a large-caliber heavy artillery! We were attacked with the full force of the Third Reich's navy!"Rear Admiral Arthur's face was very ugly, even a little pale.

Although the escort fleet was very strong and the number of heavy cruisers had been increased to six. However, they still found that compared with the incoming enemy, there was a huge Strength gap

"No, not the navy of the Third Reich. The shells were fired from the land direction. We were attacked by heavy artillery from the Army of the Third Reich. Looking at this form, the Third Reich Army has concentrated at least hundreds of heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 200 mm!"Lieutenant General Algernon shook his head.

"Hundreds of heavy artillery with a caliber of over 200 mm?"Rear Admiral Arthur exclaimed.

You know, the six heavy cruisers in the escort fleet add up to only 48 8-inch, or 203 mm heavy guns.

Of course, the navy's naval guns are more powerful and have a higher rate of fire. Fast. At the same time, the navy's naval guns are huge, have better cooling systems, and can fire almost continuously. But the army's heavy guns cannot. After firing more than ten shells rapidly at most, the firing speed must be slowed down. Otherwise, The gun barrels will soon be scrapped.

But even so, the six heavy cruisers of the Royal Navy have absolutely no advantage at all when facing hundreds of large-caliber heavy guns, or they are completely at a disadvantage.

Vice Admiral Algernon looked gloomy It seemed as if water could drip out.

Not to mention him, even the entire Royal Navy never expected that the Third Reich would actually use such a move. This directly put the Royal Navy in a difficult position.

If the Royal Navy uses all its main force, Naturally, the hundreds of large-caliber heavy artillery of the Third Reich Army will not be taken seriously. But the problem is that in order to avoid unnecessary risks, the Royal Navy battleships will not enter the narrow strait at all! In case of being erupted The submarines of the Third Reich were attacked by surprise, and the losses would be huge.

This put the Royal Navy escort fleet at a complete disadvantage in the face of the sharp heavy artillery attacks of the Third Reich Army.

"Commander, what should we do now?"Rear Admiral Arthur asked.

Under the fierce bombardment of the Third Reich's heavy artillery troops, the transport fleet was suffering heavy losses.

A large number of transport ships were hit and raging fires broke out. In fact, there were already many The transport ships and merchant ships were sunk. The crew members who fell into the water and the soldiers of the expeditionary force were struggling on the sea.

"Fire with all your strength to suppress the Third Reich's heavy artillery units. Then, order the transport fleet to stop transporting the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force and retreat immediately!" Lieutenant General Algernon ordered

"Yes, General!"Rear Admiral Arthur nodded, and he also knew that this might be the best way.

Immediately, the Royal Navy escort fleet began to fire at the coast with all its strength, trying to suppress the heavy artillery units of the Third Reich.

However, the heavy artillery units of the Third Reich were unable to reach the coast. But it's not close. The Royal Navy has to calculate the general position of the Third Reich's heavy artillery units based on the ballistics, and then fire. The hit rate of the Royal Navy escort fleet is not high, and can even be described as horrific.

On the contrary, it is the third The fierce artillery fire from the Empire's heavy artillery fleet caused the escort fleet to pay a heavy price.

During the battle yesterday evening, the superstructure of the light cruiser Durban was beaten into a sieve by the destroyers of the Third Reich. However, Its core cabin had no combat effectiveness and was not greatly affected. Therefore, it continued to participate in today's battle.

But the officers and soldiers of the Royal Navy on the light cruiser Durban never expected that they would not be like that again this time. Good luck.

A 210mm shell hit the light cruiser HMS Durban.

The shell, weighing more than 100 kilograms, immediately penetrated the armor of the light cruiser HMS Durban.

"boom!"

The shell exploded internally, destroying the internal compartment of the light cruiser Durban, and ignited a raging fire.

Immediately afterwards, a series of shells hit the light cruiser Durban.

Very soon, this ship has a displacement of more than 4,800 The ton of light cruiser suffered unbearable heavy damage, lying on the sea like a dead fish, motionless.

Other battleships of the Royal Navy escort fleet were also attacked, and battleships were constantly hit.

Even the third The shells fired by the empire's heavy artillery force are all high-explosive shells, not armor-piercing shells. But even so, the light cruisers and destroyers cannot withstand them. Even those heavy cruisers will be blown up if they are hit by a shell. A big hole was made. Although the armor of the core compartment may not be penetrated, there is still no problem if the superstructure is riddled with holes. Once it is hit more times, it is also possible to be sunk..

And the defenses of the merchant ships and transport ships escorting the fleet are very poor. Once hit, they will naturally be killed or injured.

Especially the Third Reich has concentrated two entire heavy artillery brigades to attack these transport ships and merchant ships..This also caused the losses of these transport ships and merchant ships to become greater and greater.

"boom! boom! boom!"

Explosions continued to sound, and merchant ships and transport ships continued to be shot, and then fell silent. The sailors on these transport ships and merchant ships, as well as the soldiers of the expeditionary force who had finally boarded the ship, jumped into the sea like dumplings. Escape for your life.

Although you may not be able to escape after jumping into the sea. But if you continue to stay on the ship, it will definitely be a dead end.

These transport ships and merchant ships of the Empire where the sun never sets do not care about loading any more The soldiers of the expeditionary force turned around and tried to escape.

In the panic, many merchant ships and transport ships even collided. The fragile hull was seriously damaged in the collision, and seawater poured into the ship, causing the ship to collapse. start to sink

"Damn it! Damn the Germans, their hit rate is too high! Lieutenant General Algernon cursed.

Although the rate of fire of the Third Reich's heavy artillery units dropped after the initial rapid fire, the hit rate was not low.

This is because the warships of the Third Reich Navy, The positions of the Empire's convoys and transport fleets are constantly being notified to them, and then the heavy artillery units adjust the angle of the bombardment.

This ensures the hit rate of the bombardment, allowing the Empire's transport fleets and escort fleets to continuously Many ships and battleships were hit, and the losses were getting bigger and bigger and more and more shocking!_To read the ununderlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
