Chapter 2469: Block the Suez Canal
Another night, Baipi once again sent a merchant ship to sink the ship and block the waterway. This time they also sent a small boat with sharpshooters on it. They wanted to shoot and destroy the searchlights so that they could not indicate the target. However, they made a wrong calculation. In addition to using glass to reflect light in Nanhua’s searchlights, some searchlights use polished metal sheets to reflect light. Gunshots have no effect on their mirror surfaces!
In addition to using searchlights, the South China Army also fired flares. One after another, the flares were high in the sky, and the white-skinned ships below were exposed.
Cannonballs fluttered on the sea, and a column of water rose into the sky, and the light reflected the fearful faces of Baipi.
The South China Army first destroyed all the big ships in an orderly manner, and then it was the boat's turn to hit the boat with cannons!
My God, the poor boat is so small that it can withstand such a heavy shell. Sometimes it misses a hit and is overturned by the water jet.
It's dawn, and Baipi is in vain again!
Seeing that it’s not the way, Baipi became ruthless and spared no expense. In the evening, twelve cruise ships and twelve merchant ships rushed towards the channel.
And there are twenty cruise ships to cover together---No one in Baipi is willing to sacrifice with battleships, the unfortunate one is the small cruise ships.
It was night, and the white-skinned ships made a big move. When they were spotted by the South China Army searchlights on duty, they immediately strengthened more searchlights and shot flares into the sky at the same time.
There was light on the sea, and the white-skinned ships dared forward, firing shots, and they also fired smoke bombs to cover their advance!
The war promotes the advancement of technology and equipment. To this day of the war, Baipi also has many new weapons, and smoke bombs are one of them.
The smoke bombs fired by filled the sea, providing a cover for the advance of the white-skinned ships, causing the South China Army’s artillery to hit the wrong target from time to time.
Shoot the air in the dark night!
But the Chinese don't care at all. As long as the artillery can withstand it, they will go to death.
A gunner yelled in front of a h210n1663 heavy gun with a red barrel: "Water, water!"
"The water is coming!" Several soldiers pushed a four-wheeled waterwheel over and poured small buckets onto the gun barrel.
"Zizizi..." White steam violently rose up in the sound.
The artillery quality of the South China Army is very good, and it has been fired many times. It can withstand the sudden cold and heat. It constantly bombards the targets on the sea. The white skins on the scene are complaining and the white skins on the battleships are watched from a distance. We were frightened.
big occasion!
The sailors on the white-skinned ship dared to move forward. They faced the intensive artillery fire of the South China Army and gathered their energy to drive the ship to the predetermined sea area, and they also shot and fired, not afraid of death. !
The battleship did not dare to board, the pillar is the cruise ship.
The gunners don’t want to kill the enemy, they just want to harass the Chinese and shoot.
The artillery shells fired from the cruise ship continued to blast towards the shore where the fire was blazing. That was the artillery position of the South China Army.
Speaking of the white-skinned gunner, the artillery shells landed on the South China Army’s artillery fort. The solid retaining wall and top cover were hit by the shells from time to time, making a muffled noise, and the top cover fell into dust.
I would like to thank the military industry, they have built such a strong top cannon, so that the white-skinned shells cannot penetrate.
The gunners of the South China Army fired almost unaffected. They all wore steel helmets and bulletproof vests, and they were enthusiastic about shooting.
The heavy artillery shells fired vigorously, and a towering tree-like water column was thrown up on the sea, and the water splashed on the enemy ship.
Round after round of heavy artillery artillery, it has destroyed three merchant ships, sank a cruise ship, and another cruise ship was beaten to control failure, rushed to the shore and ran aground. The crew competed for the position on the boat. But he fought, and even used weapons. A senior crew member shot the crew member who wanted to climb into the boat in the small boat, and ordered to start the boat quickly, and then he used a sharp dagger to cut off the finger that was holding the side of the boat!
Suddenly, a loud noise shook the world. People from dozens of miles away could hear this sound, and everyone nearby was shocked.
"Thor's Hammer" fires!
The French cruise ship "Seine" in charge of cover appeared unlucky in front of the muzzle of a "Thor's Hammer" and failed to recover in time. The gunner of the cannon was overjoyed. He did not expect to have such good luck. , Did not hesitate to make a shot.
The artillery positions had long been ordered to "fire freely," allowing the gunners to make a decision. "Thor's Hammer" then came to bombard the small ship with a huge amount of ammunition.
One shot into the soul!
Awesome, the unlucky French cruise ship "Seine" was hit by a huge artillery shell in the middle of the hull. As a result, the "Seine" was folded in two and quickly disappeared in the turbulent water!
The Seine was sinking very fast. Water poured into the cabin, and the people in it couldn't escape, and it was swallowed by the sea.
Even a crew member who can dive, if they swim slowly, they will be brought into the bottom by the water vortex when the battleship sinks. In addition, it is too dark to save people. Therefore, only 11 crew members of the 218 crew members on the ship escaped!
The large-scale naval warships of the sailing era have the ability to cross oceans and seas. Basically, it can be said that they are the only service that needs to maintain all-weather combat capabilities at that time. This is not because of frequent naval battles~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but because of the maritime climate. Unpredictable, and the maritime navigation operations at that time were entirely manual, requiring a 24-hour watch to serve the warships safely and effectively. It is impossible for people to work 24 hours. Therefore, there must be enough staff to work in shifts, and the people who need it are also Many, once it sinks, many people die.
……
The sky finally dawned, and the Suez Canal mouth that had been tumultuous all night finally calmed down.
On the river course, in front of the big iron chain, the masts of the sunken ships in the east and west are exposed to the sea, some are high, some are low.
There are floating debris and corpses scattered in the sea, a mess, which also brings out bursts of desolation.
It was night, and Baipi made a big attack. The loss was not small, but the expected goal was achieved.
A total of twelve merchant ships and eighteen cruise ships were sunk, and a shipwreck blocked the channel tightly.
The white-skinned people looked at the blocked waterway from their binoculars, and smiled gleefully: "Now the transportation of heretics will be interrupted!"
The influence of the Suez Canal on the transportation of the East and the West is very important. The Baipis expected that this time the pagans would spend a lot of time to clear the river and transport the ship over, which just made it convenient for the Baipis to launch an offensive on land and retake it Lost land, and the whiteskins on the sea can calmly harass enemy-occupied areas and search for Chinese battleships in the Mediterranean, and sink them with rockets!
They did what they said and immediately moved to attack Lebanon!
