Chapter 2462: British views

Of course, the nine battleships capable of launching rockets with him have the upper hand, fighting with one enemy and two battleships pressing the Chinese people!

The other British ships also showed bravery, fighting with the Chinese battleships inextricably, the Chinese could not win, and even the British ships had the upper hand.

But it doesn't help!

Even if the battleships that fired rockets drove the Chinese battleships into deep water, and the remaining British ships were inhabited by the Chinese battleships, the battleships of the White-skinned countries performed too badly.

George Munch recalled: "I once saw five battleships being blown apart and gradually sinking in the flames. The flash of the muzzle saw the officers and soldiers on the ship leaving the ship, and the sea was covered. The lifeboat and the shaking head...it's a pity, all the battleships of our Europeans were beaten up."

The British general William Payne recalled: "Europeans other than the British were not very good at artillery, and their shells were not powerful. On the contrary, the Chinese shelling skills were first-rate, and rows of shells accurately landed on the target. , I saw the Spanish second-tier battleship being chased and hit by the Chinese third-tier battleship. It is really shameful. Such scenes are not uncommon!"

The British general Richard Dean sarcastically said: "Except for the Dutch who have a certain military quality, the rest of the Europeans are not good, but the discipline of the Dutch is as bad as ever. They see the situation is not good, so they play their role. Other people’s superior sailing skills can run faster than anyone else!"

To put it right, Dutch Admiral Druitter wanted to shake hands with him, because the Dutch are indeed superb, as Richard Dean said, lack of discipline, and can fight tailwinds. When encounters are not going well, There are always people who choose to flee (but it is difficult to hold them accountable afterwards, because this is a free and equal Netherlands!) resulting in unsteady fighting forces, how can we win this way? !

Another British general, Edward Sprague’s second-tier battleship "Sismin Cathedral", tried to "bully" the South China third-tier battleship "Southeast Asia 278". The ship number of the 278 was quite rearward. This indicates that this is a new ship, usually commanded by a novice commander. For example, the captain Shi Guangyue, who boarded the Dragon Gate at the age of 35 (the South China Army referred to it as the "Denglong Gate" as the captain of a battleship. "Navy officers must go to the dragon gate if they want to be promoted and reused.) He saw the enemy's second-tier battleships coming aggressively. He said he was not afraid of being fake, but he was calm and commanded the sailors to fight the British.

As long as the chief is not counseled, his subordinates will naturally accompany him.

The officers and soldiers were united, just slapped like that, letting the "Sismine Cathedral" do their best, and the result was that both sides were injured. There were a lot of sailors killed and injured, so they shook hands and made peace and stopped fighting!

Edward Sprague is a major general in the British Army of Irish nationality. He is not a purebred Englishman. It is not easy to get promoted. He is highly qualified to become a high-ranking official. He is very convinced of the "Southeast Asia 278" ship. Speaking of it, "It is said that the Chinese artillery skills were taught by the British. Now it seems that the Chinese have been taught!"

And captains like Shi Guangyue, the captain of the "Southeast Asia 278" ship, are in the South China Army!

In the seventeenth century AD, the generals who passed through Xiaoqiang Yan Changwu’s command were mostly Chinese heroes of Ming Dynasty, while the sea generals were first-rate military officers trained by him. Domineering.

During the fierce battle, a scene that made the British frightened appeared. Those battleships that fought with them and were smashed to the ground took a break. They stopped fighting and left. They were replaced by vigorous new troops and other battleships.

Zhu Baipi couldn't stand it anymore. He sank and fled. Even the nominal commander of the large fleet, the Spaniard Admiral Lilva Don Chatenefer, also fled, and the rest broke up. There are only more than fifty battleships remaining on the battlefield still fighting.

There are more than 30 of the 146 battleships of the South China Fleet who have been ordered to leave the field for rest, and 110 battleships have faced off against the white battleships, showing a two-to-one numerical advantage, and at the same time the combat level. Dominate.

Seeing such a situation, even after going through many wars, George Munch, who has an extraordinary psychological quality, has no illusions about winning. He has learned from previous battles that the Chinese will definitely adopt flexible and offensive methods. Using their courage, experience, and sailing technicians to disperse their own array and attack the Chinese, George Munch felt that he was dealing with the British sailing veterans.

The problem is that the British don’t have many rockets!

In the battle just now, the British desperately used rockets and they were almost exhausted. The current situation is stretched. Without the rockets, there is no chance to win.

The sea artillery roars and the gunpowder is full of smoke. Sometimes it is like fighting in the fog. At this time, the battleships in South China could not see the banner of the Chinese army, and the battlefield was full of various sounds. They used a universal combat principle: "Just in case When you cannot see or understand the combat signal, even if the warship is brought close to the enemy to fight, the captain who does this will not be wrong!"

It’s really "fight wherever there is gunfire, and fight until there is no gunfire." Once the battle begins, the commander of the South China Fleet will not easily give instructions to the fleet, because his subordinates are the veterans who have been battle-tested. , Know how to complete your tasks within the broad range of instructions put forward by the superior, that is, give full play to the initiative of the soldiers!

George Munch was entangled in his heart. He once smelled the breath of the goddess of victory, but she still stayed away from him. If she leaves now, the battle will be a foregone conclusion.

But in the smoke and enemy ship blockade, it was not easy for him to find that Empire-class battleship, and he couldn't kill the king a second time!

He should not hesitate, the South China battleship group approached the white-skin battleship in a relatively scattered formation, and then the white-skin battleship fell into a bitter battle with two battleships waiting for an enemy ship~www.wuxiaspot.com~ at this time More than an hour before sunset, the South China battleship generally adopted a tactic of "slashing the mess", that is, violently output, first blasting the enemy ships to lose their combat effectiveness, mainly attacking their gun decks and killing them. The personnel also destroyed their masts, sails and rigging. They were not eager to sink them, but instead let them go to "serving" the enemy ships that were still fighting, and concentrated their firepower to beat them in groups, which made them lose their combat effectiveness.

In this way, even if the white-skinned battleship does not sink, loses its combat effectiveness, or its combat effectiveness is weakened, who is not afraid?

Then flee, and ran away more than 20 battleships at once, and the rest of the crowd were uncomfortable.

George Munch's battleship "Prince Royal" was blocked by four South China battleships, but when the British continuously fired rockets, the South China battleship gave way and the "Prince Royal" battleship escaped the battlefield smoothly!

When night fell, the officers and soldiers of the South China Fleet on the battlefield let out a sigh of relief: "Today this terrible battle is finally over!"

We are victorious!
