Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

According to the requirements, the fort and the ammunition depot where ammunition is stored cannot be too close, and the ammunition depot must be set up in the safest place. Next to the cannon, at most relatively safe armor-piercing shells are allowed. The propellant and grenades must be placed in a safe ammunition depot. When used, a dedicated person will deliver the propellant and grenades to the gun emplacement for the gunner to load and launch. To prevent ammunition from exploding during battle, causing disastrous consequences.

But now the three turrets on top of the Gibraltar Fortress are filled with propellants and grenades.

Because the war was imminent, the gunners spontaneously brought up propellants and grenades so that they could attack the invading enemy faster. Even this was approved by Governor Lidderdale.

In fact, this idea is understandable. After all, the top of their heads is the top layer of reinforced concrete ten meters away. What bomb can penetrate it?

But now such an aerial bomb fell. The British soldiers in the fort were dumbfounded as they looked at this unheard-of and unseen giant, and their minds fell into a brief state of panic.

Before they could recover, the delayed fuse on the bomb was detonated, and the violent energy swept through everything around them in a destructive manner.

Countless 381mm artillery shells and propellants were instantly ignited. The two energies intersected and turned into an extremely powerful shock wave that lifted the thousands-ton roof several meters high. Thick smoke mixed with fire shot up. For several hundred meters, there was flying sand and rocks, as if it was the end of the world.

The entire fortress shook violently as if it had been hit by a magnitude 10 earthquake; some timid clerks even screamed and hid under the table.

"Ah!"

Manstein, who was on the top of the mountain in the distance, also looked at the earth-shattering explosion in shock. He could even feel the shock wave from the explosion and the smell of gunpowder in the air. "As expected of a big guy!"

"On target!" The bombardier on the He-177 bomber let out a long sigh of relief. This version of the bomb is more difficult to control than the previous bomb, because once the rocket booster ignites, the flames and smoke will interfere with the bombardier's sight, and the bombardier will basically be unable to continue to control the bomb. body trajectory. Therefore, the bombardier must stabilize the bomb's trajectory as much as possible before the rocket booster is ignited.

The He-177 bomber slowly rose up to make way for the bombers behind it. Fortunately, these forts were far apart, and the thick smoke emitted did not affect their aim at the next fort.

Governor Liddell, who finally managed to stabilize his body, stared at the rock wall with several cracks in it and murmured. "What did the Germans throw down?" But he didn't care what the Germans threw down. He heard that the direction of the explosion seemed to be Fort B. Could it be that Fort B was attacked?

I picked up the phone and contacted Battery B, but I couldn't get in touch.

Just as he was about to call the adjutant to investigate the situation, suddenly, there was another loud explosion, and the entire fortress trembled again. Even the water glass on the desk was knocked over, and the water in the glass splashed along the table and onto the ground.

But he didn't care to hold up the water glass and stared blankly in the direction of the explosion above his head, which was the direction of Fort A.

At this time, the adjutant with a panicked face hurried in. "Your Excellency, General, Your Excellency, the observation post said that the top fort was hit by a German air attack. Fort B and A were completely destroyed, and none of the gunners in the fort survived."

Governor Lidderdale asked hurriedly. "What kind of bomb did the Germans use?"

The adjutant showed a look of fear on his face and said in a trembling voice:. "The observation post said that the bomb dropped by the Germans seemed to be ten meters long, and its tail was spraying flames." At first, he thought that the soldier who reported the report was crazy. Is a ten-meter-long bomb such an exaggeration? But when another soldier assured them that they were absolutely right, he had no choice but to believe it.

"What?!" Governor Liddell gasped. You must know that the length of a 500 kilogram bomb is only more than one meter. How heavy is this ten-meter-long bomb? ! The Germans are really crazy! Actually created this super bomb! !

"Boom!" The third explosion sounded. He subconsciously held on to the table next to him. The adjutant who barely managed to steady his body turned pale. "This seems to be the direction of Fort C?" In other words, in less than 20 minutes, the three fortress artillery groups were destroyed? !

Before Governor Liddell could say anything, a shrill alarm sounded in the fortress.

It was not an air defense siren, but a naval combat siren.

"What's going on?" Governor Liddell and his adjutant hurriedly came to the sea lookout post.

The second lieutenant in the lookout post saluted him. "General, we observed a fleet heading here." As soon as he finished speaking, the soldier standing in front of the observation mirror suddenly shouted. "French battleship!!"

Governor Liddell stepped forward and pushed the soldier away, leaning against the observation glass and looking at the sea in the distance.

"The French 'Bretagne', the 'Dunkirk', the 'Provence', the 'Slatersburg', the 'Richelieu', the Italian 'Vittorio Veneto' ', 'Littorio', 'Roma', the German 'Bismarck', 'Scharnhorst'!"

In order to get his own benefits as early as possible (of course he claimed to retaliate against the shameless behavior of the British), French Prime Minister Pétain, and the Italian navy, in order to show their loyalty to their new queen, used almost everything they had to deal with this incident. The action is very positive.

Without the threat of the coastal artillery, dozens of large and small warships were stationary ten kilometers away.

Seeing hundreds of naval guns of various calibers pointing at him, Governor Lidderdale, standing behind the observation mirror, felt his calves shaking uncontrollably.

The correspondent stumbled over. "Your Excellency General, Your Excellency General, the German army's clear communication."

Governor Lidderdale asked hurriedly. "What did you say?!"

The correspondent trembled. "Let us surrender within 10 minutes, or they will destroy the entire fortress!"

"..." Governor Lidderdale would have scoffed at such rhetoric yesterday, but now with so many warships so close at hand, he had to believe that the German army did have this strength. Gibraltar's fortress is thick, but most of it is made of stone. How can it withstand the bombardment of the battleship's main gun? Those are cannonballs specially designed to deal with giant steel beasts.

"Contact London!" Governor Lidderdale ran out of ideas for a moment, and it took him a while to say anything. Now we can only turn to London to see what His Excellency Churchill can do.

The correspondent ran out in a hurry. The adjutant on the side warned in a trembling voice. "The time is almost up, General! Why don't you go to the basement for shelter?"
