    Ultra-long-range electromagnetic guns can also be fired very accurately. The key lies in strong overall system support!

    The electromagnetic gun technology in Zhu Bin's hands has been continuously tested in various ways and ranges since the 280mm electromagnetic reconnection gun was installed on Liugong Island four years ago. Thousands of times  Data collection, several gun barrels were scrapped, from the maximum shooting height beyond the atmosphere, to precise aiming along a uniform trajectory along the curve of the earth, to the special warhead integrating ultra-high-speed missile technology, improvements are made time and time again, and we are constantly heading towards  Ancient data from the interstellar era comes closer.

    The warhead fired by the rail gun is more stable than the shells based on barrel artillery. It maintains a stable electromagnetic environment of relatively vacuum during the entire launch process. When it rushes out, the tight electromagnetic cover formed by the warhead itself is like a supercavitation.  The general principle of a torpedo keeps the warhead in a relatively stable environment to ensure the maximum stability of the ballistic trajectory.

    In this way, it breaks out of the atmosphere in a consistent manner, maintaining the maximum storage speed and maintaining the maximum stability of the ballistics. Until the time of re-entry, the aerodynamic shape designed after precise calculation gradually changes with the friction with the atmospheric environment of the target, or the injection is initiated at a large angle.  In order to attack with maximum kinetic energy; moreover, just like now, to make a rough attack against a group of targets in dense formation!

    Five hundred nautical miles away, on a warship with undulating waves, aiming at a target that is also maneuvering and swaying, don't expect the same accuracy as an anti-ship missile. A rough strike becomes the best way.

    The warhead, which is basically in a flat posture, flies across the sea along the curve of the earth at a height of more than ten meters above the waves. The terminal speed is still greater than Mach 5. The sharp head with ultra-high hardness penetrates the target like a bowling ball.  There will always be an unlucky guy coming across a group.

    The side armor of a P-class pocket battleship was severely penetrated, and astonishing kinetic energy was gathered on a very small cone.  The ultra-high pressure, which even the Krupp armor steel could not withstand, shattered the structure. The slender warhead dragged an astonishing rotating air burst trail all the way into the core cabin, and hundreds of kilograms of ultra-high-strength alloys were continuously impacted.  , the stress breaks the projectile across the body, forming hundreds of ultra-high-speed shrapnel of different sizes and causing trumpet-shaped jet damage!

    The power of this jet¡¯s destruction is truly amazing!  Even without the bonus of explosives, just the kinetic energy impact blasted countless holes in all directions of the cabin!

    The shattered compartment fragments were mixed in and caused chain damage.  Those impacting along the passage can fly more than ten meters, and most of them penetrate more compartments. The upward ones rush out of the deck, and the downward ones can penetrate the bottom tank, collapse the diesel engine in the power cabin, and poke the oil tank.  There are countless holes!

    An attack ship of more than 20,000 tons.  It was like being hit hard by a 10,000-ton sledgehammer. It shook violently all over and made a deafening roar. Countless fragments were sprayed upward from the deck under the turret. The damage control personnel who were working were caught off guard and were strafed and injured.  Number ten!

    The other warhead was not far away and penetrated the root of the bridge of the heavy cruiser Seydlitz.  The huge kinetic energy penetrated the thick steel structure directly, leaving the largest part of the kinetic energy at the entrance. As a result, the entire piece collapsed in, forming a hole as wide as a water tank.

    After penetrating several armored compartments in succession, the projectile shattered, causing damage in all directions. It penetrated and destroyed in all directions and almost turned the bridge into rubbish. Finally, the largest fragment rushed out diagonally from the other side, plus other  The fragments formed an exit with a diameter of five meters.  With a roar, a wall-like destruction was shattered, forming a hollow cavity that was transparent to both sides and a mess inside!

    That effect is like the cavity effect formed inside the human body by a rifle bullet that has been enlarged tens of millions of times, but this is too big!

    Two long-term aiming and calibration, using the warship's own intelligent fire control radar and short-range early warning aircraft.  Sky satellites, laser targeting of close enemy stealth fighters, side guidance of drones, and the assistance of multiple data links.  Finally, he completed a beheading blow from thousands of miles away!

    Two German warships suddenly emitted a thick plume of smoke, which was transmitted to the flagship in real time. Zhu Bin looked at it and nodded repeatedly, not bad, not embarrassing to me!

    Chen Shaokuan and other big guys were completely dumbfounded!  What's going on?  Cannonballs can travel more than a thousand miles and still hit a warship accurately?  You can still punch such a big guy through. Is there any way to survive?

    Zhu Bin has come up with some incredible things every now and then, which has made them a little numb with shock, but now, the "artillery" in the concept can be as awesome as a missile, which is really a bit inconsistent!  Artillery shells, not missiles, are low-cost, fast-firing, cannot be intercepted, and cannot be avoided. How can we fight this battle!

    Zhu Bin could not explain to them in detail that the trajectory of the entire enemy ship formation had been analyzed and simulated by an intelligent unit under long-term monitoring to create a mathematical probability model.The strike time is accurate to milliseconds, what posture and formation the enemy ship will form when the final warhead hits the final point, and what angle of incidence has the greatest probability of hitting a target. These are all conclusions that can be reached after massive calculations.  This is not their concept of firing salvos from turrets dozens of kilometers away, relying on a pitiful hit rate of a few percent, and then failing to sink a warship with more than ten consecutive rounds.

    Zhu Bin decisively couldn¡¯t stand the long, monotonous and boring bombardment. It was too unskilled. If he wanted to do it, it had to be shocking and never the same!

    The Germans here are cheering and celebrating and preparing for the second strike, but the Germans are completely confused!

    Admiral Lukins was still busy issuing instructions, trying to get the fleets on both wings to move closer to the center, and restore the distance, direction, and relative angles to ensure that when engaging the enemy, they could attack in separate attacks according to the predetermined strategy.  A P-class pocket battleship (attack ship) in the distance made an explosion, and a large cloud of thick smoke rose up onto the deck. Its posture was like a boiler exploding!

    But it shouldn¡¯t be!  Those warships all use diesel engines. There is no such thing as a boiler explosion. Diesel oil will not ignite easily. The probability of fire is very low. Is there something wrong with the ammunition depot?

    Then something wrong suddenly flashed in his mind, and he rushed to the porthole, grabbed the binoculars and looked carefully, and then he saw a dark figure behind the bow of the battleship jumping from the waves.  The big hole is shockingly exposed!

    Lukins felt as if he had been punched in the heart, and with stars in his eyes, he screamed: "Artillery attack!?"

    He has seen wounds like this before!  The German Navy, which had obtained some intelligence information from the Japanese and American navies, had seen ship hulls bombarded by electromagnetic artillery shells more than once. The damage holes that penetrated like bullets were really weird.  Make it unforgettable!

    But this time, the hole he saw was at least five times bigger than before!  The previous 127mm reconnection shells could blast a hole as big as a basin in the Yamato class, but the one in front of me is as thick as a water tank!  This shows that the caliber of the cannonball is much larger!  And that explosion was obviously not a warhead charge, otherwise one shell would have had as many 203mm grenades.  You can even throw out a dazzling fireball from above!

    He didn¡¯t understand, but Lukins didn¡¯t dare to neglect, turned around and shouted: ¡°All fleets, immediately change direction and disperse! Disperse all!¡±

    The piercing warning of the attack spread throughout the formation and all ships within seconds.  Like a school of frightened fish, they turned their rudders in different directions and collided with the waves, causing a loud rumbling sound!

    Immediately afterwards, another heavy cruiser was severely damaged. The breach that was smashed from the side could not hold up the twisted and crooked bridge. It made Admiral Lukins' mouth dry and his blood vessels almost burst!

    A terrible blow!  Weird killing!  It was completely different from the battle he imagined.  It just happened suddenly!

    "Where is the enemy?! Who can tell me where the damn Chinese warships launched the bombardment from?! How could they hit so accurately and cause such damage!"

    In a flash of thought, countless questions rushed into my mind, but none of them could be answered.

    According to the Americans, enemy ships can be attacked with anti-ship missiles from 200 kilometers away, and can be bombarded with naval guns from 100 kilometers away, but no matter which one.  Everything is different from what you see in front of you!  His experience is completely useless!

    Almost subconsciously, Admiral Lukins chose to evade!  This is almost an old-fashioned style of the German Navy that is hard to change. It is best to avoid face-to-face combat with the enemy as much as possible. Attack is the best.  Only this time, the character being attacked was them!

    Mountbatten couldn¡¯t stand it any longer, and his eyes sternly swept over the P-class battleships that were billowing smoke not far away.  He raised his voice and said: "General! I suggest that you'd better let all the warships release smoke immediately, at least not so that they can easily see the specific model and location of each warship!"

    "What?! Are you kidding! Don't you know that the thick smoke is equivalent to marking where we are to the other party? What's more, it is late at night! As long as the lights are turned off, there is no need!"

    Lukins thought Mountbatten¡¯s suggestion was absurd.  Are you kidding me? Is it useful to put out smoke at night?

    Mountbatten sighed silently. He really looked down on these Germans. Although he had to admit that the German Army was indeed excellent, but the Navy, haha, just talking about the strategy of facing the enemy and quick decision-making, it was not even the slightest bit worse!

    Shaking his head, Mountbatten still faithfully fulfilled his duty and reminded: "We must assume that the enemy has a way to keep an eye on the movements of our entire fleet nearby at any time, and even grasp the location of each of our battleships, and provide accurate information at any time.  Give the coordinates to the battleships in the rear. Even if there is a blackout, there will be no?, each battleship's chimney is enough for them to capture a clear signal!  The best way is to release smoke, form a similar high-temperature signal, and interfere with infrared detection with thick fog.  In addition, I suggest increasing the anti-submarine level and allowing all anti-submarine ships to turn their active sonar power downwards to the maximum to prevent enemy submarines from being present!  "

    Lukins seemed to have heard a big joke, and even criticized angrily: "Is this how you British people fight? I understand why such disastrous defeats happen in succession! Sir, you must know that the electromagnetic environment is now chaotic.  , there is no signal that can be transmitted! Besides, monitoring our formation nearby? Do you think our night reconnaissance aircraft are just decorations? And submarines, do you know how many of our submarines are operating nearby? Even at a depth of 200 meters  , are all tightly sealed by us!"

    The Germans are confident that their submarines are the best in the world. Submarines from all countries around the world have stolen technology from Germany or are counterfeit products.  Apart from U-boats, he didn't know anyone else whose boats could dive deeper than 250 meters, just based on their junk metallurgical technology?  Not even close!

    Mountbatten sighed helplessly again.  Germans are not only old-fashioned, they are also overly self-righteous!  Yes, the defeated soldiers from various countries they saw were indeed worse, but that does not mean that the Chinese ones were worse!  Failure is no longer a tactical problem, it is a non-war crime!

    Lukins¡¯ rude attitude left Mountbatten helpless and could only pray secretly.  Don't let these damn guys fail too quickly, and don't let the cannonballs from the opposite side fall on your head first. That would be really unlucky!

    The stubborn Germans could not listen to the advice of the arrogant British. The entire formation maneuvered in disorder, and the night reconnaissance planes sent out increased their search efforts, especially the 100-kilometer circular front, but not a single bird feather was found.

    Just when Lukins thought it was just an accidental destruction.  Two more pure kinetic energy strike warheads suddenly arrived!

    There was no warning, no sonic booms were heard at all, no fire, and no traces could be seen at night, only the loud noise that erupted when the battleship was hit.  The tremor that made everyone in the boat fall down made them understand that a disaster was coming!

    This time, two more battleships were destroyed!  A warship with a displacement of less than 10,000 tons gives the terrifying warhead a slightly larger angle of incidence, penetrating from the deck all the way to the bottom, causing a crushing blow of lateral destruction.  The keel was beaten like a sieve, paralyzing it on the spot, and water was poured violently from the bottom!

    General Lukins¡¯ cheeks were twisted with anger!  He frantically scolded all the investigation units, but no one could tell him where the blow came from!

    From the periphery of the fleet to a 300-kilometer circular area, the night reconnaissance planes almost collided with each other. The lowest one rushed to the surface of the water, and the highest one almost tore the fuselage apart.  I tried my best to climb to a height of nearly 10,000 meters, but still found nothing!

    It¡¯s crazy!

    Lukins didn¡¯t understand. This blow must have been an artillery strike, so why couldn¡¯t we find the flash when it was launched?  On a dark night, muzzle flashes could be seen thirty kilometers away, but obviously, the plane hovering in the sky saw nothing!

    The first two battleships that were hit also used light signals to send preliminary damage reports.  There was no explosive, it was like a broken armor-piercing bullet, which hit the hull hard for a while, but the damage caused was really astonishing.  Experienced structural engineers don't know what kind of blow can cause such a result!

    Lukins finally realized at this time that something was wrong!  His rigorous habit forced him to think of the British advice again, but he was so proud that he couldn't bear to ask Mountbatten for information. His face turned dark and he froze.

    Fortunately, the staff officer following him was not stupid. Seeing that he had no other options, he asked for instructions in a low voice and immediately followed Mountbatten's suggestion.

    Within a few minutes, all the battleships began to release smoke, and in extremely dangerous maneuvers, they changed positions and directions. From the core of the original two columns to a circular formation spread out to both sides, the battleships slowed down and moved back.  Shrunken into a bat shape, both wings flew forward and outflanked inward. The fastest cruisers and destroyers staggered to form several consecutive defenses¡ª¡ªthis was to prevent the battleship from being hit by shells that continued to hit the battleship with a low trajectory!

    Really, the news that came out is so scary!  The P-class ship's armor had already caught up with the battleship, but it was easily penetrated, which shows that even the Bismarck is not absolutely safe!

    The billowing smoke, mixed with the strong infrared signals of rockets launched in all directions, messed up the German formation picture under infrared detection, as if there were thousands more targets at once. The dazzling high-altitude explosion light was not enough to illuminate the sea surface, but it was  It can blind the eyes of high-altitude reconnaissance planes. This contrary tactic is surprisingly effective.

    The screen turned into a blur, and Zhu Bin couldn't help butRan said: "Not bad, the German Navy can also perform like this? No, someone should have given them an idea! But want to use such a simple method to escape? It's too naive!"

    "How scumbag the German Navy is, the General Staff and overseas intelligence agencies know very well, but Zhu Bin really looks down upon it.  Furthermore, even if there is a response strategy, it is just the British who come up with ideas and imagine their opponents too simply!

    The "Thunder Dragon" fighter planes that were quietly hanging over the German fleet completely ignored the reconnaissance planes passing by, and also ignored the anti-aircraft shells fired from the sea. They always shined clusters of lasers straight on the ships on the sea.  .  Even if there is dense smoke interference, it is not the natural thick cloud fog after all, it is only weakened, far from the level of complete elimination.

    Just ten minutes later, the first formation change of the German warships began to take shape. The signal was transmitted back and was immediately simulated and predicted by the intelligent system to predict multiple possible postures. Zhu Bin was not in a hurry and waited until the first one with a high probability.  When the result of over 50% comes out, the third bombardment will be launched immediately.

    Boom!  Boom!

    Two electromagnetic gun armor-piercing projectiles struck a target in parallel ballistic trajectories, making two holes in the front and rear of an M-class light cruiser and collapsing into three pieces!

    Lukins is so stupid!  Isn¡¯t it okay after everything is like this?  What is going on?

    Mountbatten shrugged helplessly and spread his hands, but he couldn't answer.  Not only him, but also the Japanese and Americans who fell under the gunfire of the Chinese, the previous multi-million-ton ships and the hundreds of thousands of navies, no one could answer!  The enemy is so unpredictable in scale. If you go to war with them, you must be mentally prepared to go to hell!

    With a slight sigh, Mountbatten said: "General, order all ships to prepare for the worst! No matter what, we must persist until dawn, and then find the enemy ships as soon as possible and launch an attack!"
