Chapter 2751: Chinese bravery

Today's battle is absolutely beautiful. The Atlantic Ocean has always been grumpy. The ocean is often rough and watery, which leads to poor "quality" of the battlefield at sea. Today, however, the sun is shining and the waves are calm. Good time.

Chinese people say that this is due to the blessing of Mazu, everyone must work hard!

"Hit me hard!" On the first-class battleship "Vulcan", Vice Admiral Gan Tang sternly shouted.

The "Vulcan" is an Imperial-class battleship equipped with 102 well-polished cast iron cannons. Its composition and distribution are as follows:

30 42-pound guns are arranged on the lower artillery deck;

28 18-pound guns are arranged on the middle artillery deck;

30 18-pound guns are arranged on the upper artillery deck;

There are also 12 12-pound guns arranged in the poop, and two 70-pound short-barreled guns arranged in the forecastle.

This is a monster of firepower. When it opened fire, although the Spanish "Agornauta" facing it was a second-class battleship with 90 guns, only twelve guns were missing, but it was not at all. Opponent, was beaten completely powerless!

On the gun deck of the "Vulcan", the officers and soldiers loaded and fired the cannons like flowing water. They loaded and fired quickly and moved coherently. The enemy's counterattack could hardly affect them.

Sometimes, some artillery positions were hit, and some officers and soldiers were injured. The officers and soldiers quickly put the artillery in place to replenish personnel, but the action was only slightly delayed, and the normal rate of fire soon returned.

When the two ships separated, the "Agornauta" became completely dumb, and the port artillery positions were all destroyed!

The Nanhua Navy pursues the ultimate. The heavy guns used are mainly 42-pound and 32-pound cannons. There is only one type of medium-sized artillery, that is, the 18-pound cannon. The 24-pound cannon is no longer used. This reduces the number of calibers, and the logistics and training are relatively easy. The key is the 18-pound cannon. The pound cannon can break through the bulwarks of enemy battleships, and the rate of fire is fast!

Originally, the rate of fire of the gunners of the Nanhua Navy was already superior to that of other heroes (same caliber), but now they use 18-pound cannons to shoot faster. Often in artillery battles, they shoot one more shot than the opponent within a certain period of time, which is quite deadly. It should be known that "the only thing in the world of martial arts is speed that cannot be broken", which disrupts the opponent's rhythm and forms a chain reaction!

Europeans are not firm in their beliefs, and they really can't hold on for so long.

But insistence is to be supported by blood and life. The French flagship "Royal Louis" battleship, this eye-catching giant ship targeting the French royal family, was fatally bombarded by many Nanhua battleships, causing the ship's three-gun mast They were all broken, and the hull was damaged in many places. The shells slammed into several shocking cracks until they were below the waterline of the hull, causing water to enter and the speed to drop.

The number of casualties on the entire ship rose sharply. Captain Viscount De Claus's right leg was broken by a shell during the command battle.

At this time, Colonel Liu Dehai, the captain of the third-tier battleship Nanhua "Southeast Asia 185", saw an opportunity to take advantage of, and drove over to bombard the battleship "Royal Louis" with five rounds of artillery. Around the waterline, the "Royal Louis" battleship was flooded with more water. Even if the crew desperately pumped water, it was too late, and it tilted fifteen degrees to the left!

The French flagship was in chaos, and Viscount De Claus said helplessly to the admiral: "My lord, you have to evacuate!"

So the general flag was lowered, and the French Admiral Abraham Duquesne had to evacuate the huge ship in dire straits with his general flag in his hand, and transferred to the battleship "Madeburg" in a small boat behind (the second-level battleship, with There are 90 guns, and the artillery configuration is: 26 32-pounder guns, 26 18-pounder guns, and 38 12-pounder guns), he just raised his flag on the battleship "Madeburg", which immediately made "Madeburg "The battleship was attacked by Nanhua's "Southeast Asia 185".

Although the "Southeast Asia 185" ship is a third-tier battleship with 76 guns (the artillery configuration is 30 32-pounder guns, 30 18-pounder guns, and 16 12-pounder guns), the hull is smaller than that of the "Madeburg" battleship. One size smaller, but he confronted the battleship "Madelburg" without any fear, and fought against the opponent's heavy artillery!

In the fierce artillery battle, the ship "Southeast Asia 185" overwhelmed the advantage of the battleship "Madeburg" with its astonishingly high rate of fire, which caused the ship to be weak and shamefully defeated in the artillery battle!

The "Madelburg" battleship was disrupted in the firing sequence, and the rate of fire was greatly reduced. Therefore, it was suppressed by the "Southeast Asia 185" ship, and the crew suffered a lot of casualties. Without leaving the ship again, he arrived on the battleship "Sudiak" behind the battleship "Madelburg", which had 74 guns.

Unexpectedly, the two battle lines of the enemy and us were moving towards each other, and the ship "Southeast Asia 185" moved forward, and happened to encounter the battleship "Sudiak" again, and the ship had just raised the flag of Abraham Duquesne. .

The battleship "Sudiak" encountered the merciless bombardment of the "Southeast Asia 185" ship immediately, and the "Southeast Asia 185" ship approached the "Sudiak" with the dauntless spirit of a bayonet on the artillery to beat them severely.

After several rounds of artillery battles, the artillery of the "Sudiak" battleship fell silent, but the "Southeast Asia 185" ship was twice as energetic. Made a mess.

Abraham Duquesne was so angry that he almost gritted his teeth. He was a majestic admiral, but he was forced here by a small third-tier battleship of the enemy.

Abraham Duquesne is a chivalrous French nobleman who believes that "glory is my life". He was beaten so badly today that he was so humiliated that he even stood motionless on the "Sudiak" With bullets flying around him, he wanted God to take him away.

If it weren't for his soldiers who gave their lives as human shields to protect him, he might really have gotten his wish into the embrace of God.

And Liu Dehai, the captain of the "Southeast Asia 185" ship, wiped off the gunfire soot on his face, and showed a satisfied smile: "Brothers, work hard!"

He is thirty to five years old~www.wuxiaspot.com~It took more than a year to be promoted to colonel. This time, the general who attacked the opponent is very effective. As long as he saves his life, he will definitely be promoted to a general when he returns, yay!

His subordinates were extremely excited. They lost themselves in the fight. Many of them were slightly injured and couldn't get out of the line of fire, and they were busy shooting.

When he calmed down, he couldn't believe that he could defeat three enemy battleships in a row. You must know that your own ship is only a small role in the Nanhua Navy.

Relying on the cover of gunpowder smoke, Abraham Duquesne's face was ashen, and he was transferred to the "Henry" ship a few ships away, so that he had a chance to breathe!

Stepping on the deck of the "Henry", Abraham Duquesne sat down on the deck in disregard of his dignity, feeling physically and mentally exhausted!

He suddenly remembered such a sentence: "The Ottomans are God's whip, the Chinese broke this whip, and the Chinese are God!"

God, how can we fight God and win? !

A gust of sea breeze blew in with acrid gunpowder smoke, and Abraham Duquena felt cold all over his body. 2084/10254397
