Chapter 2463: What is saved is history!

Today is so exciting!

Baipi used ingenious weapons and used rockets to make the South China Army caught off guard suffer a big loss. The personnel were knocked down and stunned. The battleship was spotted, and it seemed to be beaten badly.

But after a careful inventory, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that Baipi turned out to be a silver-like wax gun tip, and there was no actual posture.

Our army killed 762 people and wounded 6,804 people. Among them, 1,117 were wounded and may not be able to return to the ship. The rest were able to recover the wounded and return to the team. This is important to the total strength of the troops participating in the war. For the South China Fleet, which has reached 100,000 people, there is no problem at all to bear such a loss.

Commander-in-chief Yan Donglai was bombarded by rockets, but after the inspection, it was mainly a concussion, plus some skin damage, so it should not be a problem to recuperate for a while.

Not a single battleship in our army was sunk!

The important words are said three times: "Our army did not sink a battleship in battle!"

This is really a miracle. The rockets still have a certain degree of power. They burned all the open deck buildings of the first-class battleship "02" in the South China Fleet. They must be overhauled before they can be put into use, or they may not be able to be overhauled. Back to the original state, about 20 battleships were burned by rockets, and more than 20 battleships were wounded by white-skinned battleship artillery. About 50 battleships could no longer participate in the battle, and the loss amounted to one-third.

However, although these wounded ships were seriously injured, none of them sank. The main reason was that the damage control units of each ship were very good. They tried their best to save their battleships!

For example, the flagship "02" ship encountered a centripetal offensive from a white-skinned battleship, and it was attacked by hundreds of rockets. The ship was flaming and burning everywhere, and the main officers were bombed down and there was no command. .

At this moment of crisis, the political non-commissioned officer stood up and commanded the officers and soldiers to fight the fire and rescue the wounded. After sending away the injured officers, Zhou Daozhi led the officers and soldiers to actively fight the fire, and finally saved the big ship.

As a result, Zhou Daozhi was awarded the first-class combat merit medal and the first-class melee assault medal, with double rewards, and a bonus of 5,000 silver dollars. He was promoted to captain by exception. As long as he went to the military academy to read books, he could take up the post.

It is of great political significance to keep the "02" ship. The ship was the emperor’s imperial ship when he was in the Mediterranean. If the ship was sunk, no one of the generals would be able to explain to the emperor!

The officers and soldiers on the other damaged ships showed bravery. Facing the threat of fire, bullets and shells, with their sincere hearts, they turned the tide and saved their battleships!

The "Southeast Asia 139" ship collided with the "Southeast Asia 174". The starboard side of the "Southeast Asia 139" was flooded and tilted to fifteen degrees. Blocked, then drained, and finally the "Southeast Asia 139" ship returned to normal and entered the Malta port for repairs.

What is surprising is that all the second-tier battleships in the South China Fleet under the command of the generals have not suffered any damage and still maintain their combat effectiveness. People have to admire that the stars on their shoulders are not in vain.

In the post-war summary, the first credit created by the fleet is attributed to the emperor, that is, the emperor attaches great importance to the fire protection and damage management of battleships. The personnel are adequately staffed. The captain must be responsible for leadership, political officers should take charge of it, and level tasks should be assigned. There is ample supply of materials. For example, human water pumps are commonly used on battleships, as are newly put into production rubber hoses, which are extremely powerful for spraying water, as well as fire blankets, sand and gravel boxes, etc., and sufficient funds for exercises. In daily life, if there is nothing to do, come to drill. The crew are very familiar with fire prevention.

Not to mention that every warship is equipped with qualified military doctors, there are sufficient medicines, and many wounded have been rescued!

The effect was remarkable. After experiencing this catastrophe, everyone suddenly realized: "Ah, the situation we usually practice is the scene we encounter during the war. Your Majesty is really farsighted!"

Doing enough such preparations, coupled with everyone's cherishment of honor, love for battleships, loving ships as home, not afraid of fire, not afraid of sacrifices, and courage to move forward, the result is that the precious battleship is saved.

Later, after emperor Yan Changwu learned of the situation of this battle, he praised the damage management personnel heavily and said: "You are not only saving battleships, you are saving history!"

In contrast, the loss of the white skin is much greater, and the white skin fleets of all countries are greatly damaged:

The Spanish fleet sank the second-tier battleship "Santiago" and another third-tier battleship, the Portuguese fleet sank a third-tier battleship, Italy's Genoa sank a third-tier battleship, a total of four battleships were sunk, such as Neither the Dutch nor the British battleships were sunk.

What is ridiculous is that seven battleships were so damaged that the Whiteskins took the initiative to abandon their ships. Because they were retreating, all the abandoned ships floating on the sea were captured by the South China Fleet!

All in all, the White Skins lost a total of eleven battleships, and nearly 30 battleships lost their combat effectiveness. Only 99 battleships could be deployed by the White Skin fleet.

As for personnel losses, the eleven battleships were totally damaged. Almost 5,000 people were killed. There were more than 3,000 people killed in each battle, and tens of thousands were injured. In World War I, nearly 20,000 were killed and injured, accounting for them. The total number of people is more than one-fifth.

Compared with the South China Fleet, the white leather's protective gear is inferior. The South China Army can achieve full coverage of helmets and protective gear. Many soldiers buy their own protective gear and thicken the protective gear. White leather is not so luxurious, even the upper layer. Realizing the role of protective gear, many people still wear cloth or skin protection.

And they lacked medicines, there were priests on the battleships, and no doctors. Obviously, their gods were not more powerful than the Chinese doctors!

...

Malta, the port of Valletta.

The lights are bright, and many bright kerosene lamps illuminate the port brightly.

By the dock, two wounded battleships lay in the dry dock for maintenance. One of them was the Imperial-class battleship "02". It was in the dock and it must be able to be kept. The generals breathed a sigh of relief. .

The other wounded battleships were stationed in the harbor, surrounded by densely packed repair ships.

The voices were full of voices, and the bang of hammers hitting nails was endless.

Although the sailors were exhausted after a day of fighting, they did not care about physical fatigue and everyone was working hard~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They should try to rescue their damaged battleships to the extent that they can fight. !

The Chinese are always crazy. Everyone spares no effort. They are racing against time to complete the necessary repairs in the shortest possible time so that their battleships can go to sea again!

Relying on the port is very helpful. There are sufficient materials, personnel, and ships to assist in repairs.

There were also several scented dragon boats docked next to the battleships, shuttled back and forth, and sent supper to the people who were working!

Mutton porridge, small cakes or steamed meat buns, as well as tea and coffee!

The amount is large and enough, everyone laughs and laughs.

The empire has always been willing to spend money on military food, which has added infinite energy to everyone and made them work harder. They said, "The horse has no night grass and no fat, and people are powerful when they eat supper!"

Everyone is busy, and eight generals are enjoying the delicious lamb kebabs in the restaurant on the Empire-class battleship "03", which is slowly driving in the outer harbor!
