Chapter 1465 Blood and Fire Hell 1

The Edgar met its end first! With another salvo fired by the battleship Tegelhof, two 350MM shells roared towards the target. When the fifth shell hit the poor cruiser, everything was doomed! It will eventually return to the sea!

With a loud noise, the shell easily knocked open the armor belt of the Edgar's front ammunition depot! The six-inch armored belt once again proved its fragility. With the sounds of collapse and metal breaking, the shell flew straight to the ammunition depot and ignited dozens of tons of shells and propellants inside!

boom! Almost everyone on the battlefield was shocked by this blow! The entire battleship seemed to jump upwards under the influence of the huge explosion! The huge hull seems to have left the water! From the point where it was hit, the battleship was directly blown into two pieces by the shells it stored! A small part of the front was blown away directly. And most of the rear hull also fell heavily to the sea!

A large amount of seawater poured in from the breach, and the rear half of the battleship quickly tilted forward. Under the action of its own weight and water ingress, the slender stern was gradually lifted, and people who were closer could even see it idling. propeller. Due to its own weight, the rear part of the battleship broke again. In less than a minute, the rear hull also sank into the sea water.

As the flagship, the Ernest was also seriously injured by the Prinz Eugen at this time. The power system has completely stopped, and the whole body is burning with raging fire, drifting on the sea. Count Luckner believed that this useless ship was no longer worth wasting precious shells. The two destroyers quickly approached and used two torpedoes to cleanly solve the opponent at a distance of less than 500 meters. And just as the armored cruiser sank to the bottom of the sea amidst fire and explosions, in the distance, the main fleet commanded by Count Spee also began to bombard the port of Eressos!

"The military camps, warehouses and equipment of the British and French forces are almost piled up in the entire port!" This was the first feeling a seaplane pilot had when flying over the port of Eressos! The entire port is a circular belt area. In this area, more than a dozen ships of various types are moored at the berths. Even late at night, the shore is still a busy scene. Cranes are unloading the houses on the ships in an orderly manner. Then load it into a waiting car. More than four figures of personnel were racing against time to load and unload goods.

Close to the port is a military camp built by the French with tents or other temporary buildings. The white tents are very conspicuous even at night under the light and moonlight. The military camps that stretch for several kilometers are close to the periphery of the port. The town itself was also requisitioned by the French. This small town with a population of only more than 3,000 people could not accommodate Allied personnel who were more than ten times the town's population.

It is estimated that most of the entire town, except for some people who stayed to serve the British and French forces, have left this land of right and wrong. Then the lights came on, and the seaplane pilot could see carriages and cars parked neatly in the open space of the town, as well as people appearing on the road from time to time.

There are so many targets that the pilot can't decide which is better to hit at the first time!

"Our reconnaissance planes found a large number of barracks on the shore, the number of which even far exceeded the number of French people. Many of them were newly built recently." On the flagship Sultan Suleiman I, an officer saw He said awkwardly while looking at the military camp marked on the sand table.

There is no doubt that many of these things are false targets. Although Britain and France believe that the German navy is not out to cause trouble for them, the Bavarian Air Force may still visit here. Therefore, they also use a large number of cheap tents and other things to set up a large number of false targets, just waiting for you to blow them up!

"Then attack the port first, then the vehicles and warehouses! At least the ships in the port are real targets!" Count Spey said after a brief hesitation.

The remaining two super-dreadnoughts and three pre-dreadnoughts of the entire fleet quickly arrived less than 10 kilometers away from the port! The pre-dreadnoughts targeted ships in the port, while the two super-dreadnoughts targeted port settings, warehouses, parking lots, etc.!

The distant battle had alerted the French, but unfortunately, the Count's fleet came too quickly. Almost at the same time as Count Luckner and the French fleet were fighting, Count Spee's fleet began to attack the port!

"Fire at full speed! Erase this port from the map!" With the firing order, after months of silence, the two Turkish battleships once again opened fire!

boom! A sound like thunder came from the sea outside the port, and the firelight from dozens of large-caliber artillery instantly illuminated the sea around the entire fleet. Looking from the port, a sun seemed to suddenly rise on the sea in the distance. generally! Dark red fireballs rose into the sky one after another, and then flew towards this poor port at the ultimate speed that could be observed with the naked eye!

"Oh God, what happened!" A Frenchman in the town saw the earthquake-like shaking and the sky-high fire coming from the port, his expression was full of despair! Because he knew that tonight, a batch of artillery and ammunition were being loaded and unloaded. At this time, they were suddenly attacked. The result was undoubtedly devastating!

A bomb weighing more than 600 KG landed on a building in the port. The huge power of the shell directly blew up the three-story building. More than 70 people inside who had not had time to move were turned into a building together with the building. A pile of ruins was destroyed, and after another artillery shell landed, it left a huge crater more than 2 meters deep and dozens of meters in diameter. The flying shrapnel slaughtered all the people within a few thousand square meters of the surrounding area! The power of the powerful naval gun is fully demonstrated at this moment!

The ships in the port were not spared, or in other words, they were the first to suffer! Three Dreadnoughts swept the entire berth from north to south. A 4,000-ton transport ship became the victim first. A 12-inch high-explosive bomb landed on the horizontal deck of the ship. After easily opening the 2nd floor The deck then exploded in the middle and lower part of the hull! The explosion of dozens of kilograms of high explosives not only destroyed a large number of cabins but also penetrated the single-layer bottom of the hull. A large amount of seawater poured into the ship through large and small gaps in less than 2 minutes. , this battleship sank to the bottom of the sea!

The Marseille, a fast transport ship with a displacement of up to 8,000 tons and carrying a large amount of ammunition and artillery, tried to break away from the berth. However, how could the Germans make it happen? The quasi-dreadnought ship Ferdinand first aimed at this big target, and its four 12-inch guns fired five salvos in less than three minutes.
