Also angered was the captain of the battleship Bismarck, Commodore Ernst Lindemann. Ever since he became the captain of the newly built "Bismarck" battleship, a huge sense of honor has filled Commodore Ernst Lindemann's heart. Commodore Ernst Lindemann has always been determined to become the captain of the "Battleship Bismarck". In his own opinion, no one is more suitable to command the "Battleship Bismarck" than himself, because he highly respects the words of the iron-blooded Prime Minister Bismarck and regards them as his motto in life: "I will shed the last drop of blood for the motherland."
With a short but harsh creaking sound, the heavy steel door was opened, and the fresh sea breeze with a bitter and sour taste quickly poured into the cabin that had been suppressed for a long time. Facing the still rough waves, Commodore Ernst Lindemann could not calm down for a long time. He walked slowly onto the open-air bridge. Everything in his ears was so familiar. If it hadn't happened before, these sounds would have been It made him feel calm, but the news that the heavy cruiser "Blücher" had just been sunk suddenly made Commodore Ernst Lindemann unable to calm down.
Brigadier General Ernst Lindemann said angrily, "I need all the information about the Oscarsburg Fort now. Can anyone explain it to me!"
"Your Excellency, General, I am willing to serve you!" said the naval staff officer who was still standing next to Commodore Ernst Lindemann, still calm, "The Oscarsburg Fort has a history of hundreds of years. Guard Oslo, the capital of Norway!”
"I need information that can help me!" Brigadier General Ernst Lindemann said through gritted teeth. Mentally, he wanted to kick this indifferent staff officer away.
"Uh! General, the 280MM giant cannon produced by the Krupp family at Oscarsburg Fort. This giant cannon has been widely exported to various countries around the world from the second half of the last century to the beginning of this century! It is used all over the world. The highly praised Krupp cannon of the Oscarsburg Fort should have been exported to Norway before the last war, when our relationship with Norway was still good." Seeing his boss getting angry, the staff officer immediately said.
"Huh?~" Brigadier General Ernst Lindemann really couldn't describe his strange mood now. The biggest contributor to the sinking of the "Blücher" turned out to be the proud spokesman of the German arms industry, Krupp. The 280MM giant machine produced by the Bo family? gun. This kind of thing is simply too funny. I wonder what Gustav Krupp, the head of the Krupp family in China, would think if he knew about it. Is it a big manufacturer produced for his own family? Are you proud of your gun, or are you angry
Commodore Ernst Lindemann didn't know what Gustav was thinking now. Commodore Ernst Lindemann only knew that he was very angry now and wanted to replace the sunk heavy cruiser "Blücher". revenge. Even if the Oscarsburg Fort was built by German Krupp? If it is made of artillery, you must destroy it yourself.
"No matter who owns that fort, now that it is in our way, we must destroy it now!" Brigadier General Ernst Lindemann said gloomily. Oslo's Narrow Fjord The "Bismarck" battleship cruising in the open sea immediately galloped outside the Oslo Fjord at a high speed of 30 knots, and then slowly entered the Oslo Fjord.
Continuing to travel more than 20 nautical miles in the fjord, the huge hull and draft of the "Battleship Bismarck" determined that it could no longer move forward according to Commodore Ernst Lindemann's order. : "Captain, we can't move forward! If we move forward, we might get stranded," the staff officer said anxiously.
"No, go a little further, we can't kill the damn Oscarsburg Fort here!" Brigadier General Ernst Lindemann said stubbornly. In fact, the Oscarsburg Fort can be killed by the Air Force, but Ernst · Brigadier General Lindemann’s strong self-esteem did not allow him to do this. Although this Wessey exercise was a joint operation between the army, navy and air force, the key point was indeed the landing operation. The role of the army was not very big. , it can be said that the Wessey exercise is a battlefield for the navy and air force. Since the beginning of the operation, the air force's non-stop attendance and Stuka's frequent visits to the skies over Norway have made Brigadier General Ernst Lindemann somewhat dissatisfied. If the Oscarsburg Battery, the battery that sank the heavy cruiser "Blücher", was killed by the Air Force, it would be tantamount to a loud slap in the face of the Navy, so Commodore Ernst Lindemann would have to do it anyway Solve this problem yourself.
Finally, after wandering for another three nautical miles, it has reached a very dangerous point. It can be said that the "Battleship Bismarck" may run aground at any time as long as it moves forward. Commodore Ernst Lindemann finally stopped the "Battleship Bismarck". This distance is just as large as the six 280MM Krupp of the Oscarsburg Fort? The main gun of the "Bismarck Battleship" can exert its own power. The eight twin 52x 380MM main guns gave off a cold luster, as if they were about to swallow everything like a black hole.
"Destroy the Oscarsburg Fort with high-explosive bombs!" As Brigadier General Ernst Lindemann's order was issued accurately, the bomb machine on the battery turret began to load ammunition into the eight twin 380MM main guns. .
The turret has an azimuth electric sighting device, an auxiliary adjustment device for height and low angles, an auxiliary hoist and a backup power supply for the hoisting device. However, sometimes they are driven by hydraulic devices. The power is provided by 2 electric pumps, one for each turret. Water/glycerin is used as the pressure transmission medium. The two guns had their own cylindrical mounts, but were often coupled together. Each big? The guns all use hydropneumatic strokes and consist of a complex machine and 2 booster tubes. Hydraulic equipment can adjust the high and low tooth arcs through a rack-and-pinion rotating device. big? The gun was equipped with an electro-hydraulic RPC system (elevation and pitching), but the effect was obviously unsatisfactory. The auxiliary device includes an electric motor that can adjust the high and low tooth arc through a worm gear. The height and low angle range is +30 degrees -5.5 degrees. The azimuth drive main motor and auxiliary motor also control the barrel through worm rotation. There is also a portable emergency motor connected to the worm through a chain. The cartridge case compartment is below the ammunition compartment, and there are cartridge transfer cars in the corresponding transfer chambers. The hydraulic equipment drives the projectile hoist through a rack-and-pinion rotating device of a cable drum.
Two bomb lifters arrived at the big? When between guns, the shells are sent by the loader to the rotating loading chute, and the loading chute sends the shells to the corresponding large? Behind the gun, the ammunition is transferred into the prepared cartridge, which is lowered to the height of the rotating loading chute after the shell is loaded. They are connected by ramps, and the ammunition rolls into the loading chute. The forend and ammunition are loaded together. The loading angle is +2.5 degrees, and the loader used here is retractable and gear-operated. Expired cartridges were moved in and out of the gun from either side. The auxiliary bomb hoist continuously transports artillery shells and ammunition in a vertical position. They arrive at the large? While behind the gun, shells and ammunition are transferred into a tilting barrel and then loaded into the main loader. The auxiliary bomb hoist is manually operated by 10-14 people.
After completing all this, the turrets of the eight twin 52-fold 380MM main guns slowly turned their muzzles against the backdrop of the 10-meter-diameter gun base. Under the turning weight of 1064 tons, the main turret turns at a speed of 5.4 degrees per second. Pointing directly at the Oscarsburg Fort in Norway, the Norwegian soldiers at this time had also discovered the huge body of the Bismarck. After all, it was difficult for the huge behemoth "Bismarck Battleship" not to be discovered.
The soldiers on the Oscarsburg Fort seemed to be aware of the imminent disaster. The soldiers on the fort began to take action, trying to strike first, but the 280MM Krupp on the Oscarsburg fort? Cannons are really not enough for the "Battleship Bismarck". After all, the "Bismarck Battleship" is a new product of the Krupp family in recent years, and how big is the Oscarsburg Fortress? Cannon has been around for decades. If the Krupp family has not made progress in decades, then it is not worthy of establishing a foothold in Germany, a country where military matters more than anything else.
"Boom..." As the eight twin-mounted 380MM main guns roared, the Norwegians knew that the German Navy's revenge was coming, and it was coming so violently that the heavy cruiser "Blücher" was still happy. Not long after, a bigger opponent ushered in, an opponent that was almost impossible to defeat.
Carrying the pride of the German arms industry, it is also owned by the German arms industry king? The eight twin-mounted 380MM main guns manufactured by the Krupp family achieved earth-shattering results in a single salvo. Although they did not directly hit the Oscarsburg Fort, they also hit the mountains around the Oscarsburg Fort, shaking the mountains. Shake, boulders fly everywhere.
Soon, the front and rear twin turrets began to fire continuously, firing at an interval of 26 seconds, constantly hitting the Oscarsburg Fort, making it impossible for the Norwegian Oscarsburg Fort to fight back.
Huge high-explosive bombs continue to explode at the Oscarsburg Fort. The 280MM Krupp on the fort? The guns were unable to exert their power at all, and were destroyed one by one by the eight twin-mounted 380MM main guns. The madness of the "Battleship Bismarck" lasted for twenty minutes. When the sound of the cannons stopped, the "Battleship Bismarck" slowed down. When slowly exiting the fjord, the mighty Oscarsburg fort that had just sunk the heavy cruiser "Blücher" was left with only a pile of debris after the battleship "Bismarck" exited the fjord. The billowing smoke that was still coming out indicated how brutal the shelling just now was.
"Inform all warships that landing is now possible. The Oscarsburg Fort has been blown to pieces!" Brigadier General Ernst Lindemann said coolly.
