Chapter 452: Shelling Banten
The opponent's turret fired, and if the southeast warship did not see it, they continued to rush towards the enemy turret.
From far to near, the screams of the fort blasted up a cloud of water, right, left, and right behind the outboard close to Kaohsiung No. 31.
This cruise ship rushed the fastest, and the opponent concentrated artillery fire and bombarded Kaohsiung 31.
Chen Yuxue stood steadily, on the side facing the gunfire.
Although she is young, she is already a master at war, and she is a heroine in courage.
"boom……"
The hull of the cruiser trembled and was hit by enemy artillery.
But the officers and soldiers on the ship were fearless, or bit the bullet, after all, the captain was the first to take the lead, she was still a woman!
The other ships could not be ashamed at all and followed up.
The speed of Kaohsiung 31 is gradually increasing, and it has rushed to the forefront of the forward fleet!
On the flagship "Nanhai II" at the back, Governor Chen De asked Hong Xi, the fleet commander, and said: "Who is that?" The "Kaohsiung 31" cruise ship with his finger rushing to the front.
The army needs such a warship captain the most, and such a captain deserves praise!
"She is Chen Yuxue!" Official Hong Xi admired authentically.
"It's her!" Chen De felt a headache. He knew Chen Yuxue's identity, but he couldn't force her to withdraw, but if she had a problem, it would be a big trouble, and it would cast a shadow over his victory.
"Is the channel clear?" Chen De asked.
"The forward Kaohsiung No. 31 has sent a signal, and the channel is clear, and your fleet can approach the enemy's fort!" Hong Xiguan respectfully said.
Chen De is the governor of Java, who controls military and political affairs, especially in the foreign war, his power is very important.
"Go ahead, the battleship is ready to attack, and they will all be destroyed today!" Chen De ordered.
"Yes, Lord Governor!" Official Hong Xi ordered the fleet to approach the enemy's fort along with the forward.
The Kaohsiung 31, which rushed forward, dragged a long track. As the ship’s side was level with the opponent’s fort, the left side gun fired and attacked the enemy’s fort.
However, the level of the first gun was not very good, and the out-of-bore shells flew over the Bantenite fort and fell behind it.
Then the second and third guns landed on the battery, and the shells of the last eight artillery guns fell on the Banten’s battery. This was the time when the deputy captain of the Kaohsiung No. 31 corrected the trajectory and smashed all the shells. On the heads of Banten people.
The deputy captain’s name was Chen Yuansheng. He was actually a senior captain. He was originally the deputy captain of the Kaohsiung 23. He was later promoted to the captain of the Kaohsiung 11 because of his ability to fire. Then he became the Kaohsiung III. The deputy captain of the 11th is not that he did anything wrong, but that the Java fleet must keep Chen Yuxue. This is not only because she is the woman of the warlord, but also to show the world that the Southeast Army is different. Therefore, Kaohsiung 30 Special enhancements were made on the 1st.
Most of his subordinates were veteran gunners, and the reloading was completed in a little more than a minute. After the iron bullets and propellant were loaded, Chen Yuansheng yelled, "A salvo!"
"Boom...!"
The hull of Kaohsiung 31st tilted to the right under recoil force!
The entire gun deck was enveloped by billowing gun smoke, and a round of iron bombs rushed into the distance accompanied by the gushing white mist!
On the other cruise ships, waves of white gunpowder continued to rise, and dozens of shells successively fell to the periphery of the opponent's fort.
With the continuous sound of thunderstorms on the sea, the officers and soldiers of the Java Fleet in Southeast Province couldn't imagine how terrified the Banten people on the turret at this moment.
Although they use cannons, they haven't been able to fire a few cannons a year. ..
Well, the artillery, gunpowder, and shells that Hong Maofan sold to them were expensive. In addition to the number of cannons they fired when they learned to fire, and the number of cannons fired by the dignitaries during inspections, all of the year, the artillery didn't make a sound at all.
The messy artillery shells kept falling on or around the fort, hitting the artillery fort. Almost every cannonball poured in the vicinity caused the people of Banten in the fort to be frightened. Only pray for God's blessing!
The real guns are not made by humans!
In contrast, the gunners on the Java fleet have undergone intensive training of the "moon, moon, water, fire, wood, gold, and gold" style. The firing of artillery is as commonplace. With one shot from the other side, we can return three to four shots.
A bigger disaster came after the battleships of the Southeast Fleet began to attack. The earth-shaking bombardment of the 24-pound heavy artillery, roaring like a behemoth, the scarlet tongue of the artillery, reflecting the azure blue sea and sky!
The shells were intensive and fell in series. The Banten people on the turret were hit by shells one after another, breaking them to pieces and panicking.
The smoke and dust are pervasive, rising high and lasting for a long time.
At first, the people of Banten were brave enough to shoot at the battleships of the Southeast Fleet with pound artillery, but soon discovered that it was in vain!
Their shells cannot be broken!
The battleship's bulwark is strong and indestructible like a copper wall and an iron wall!
Moreover, the strength and power of the heavy artillery is unimaginable.
How can such a battle be fought!
Hearing the sound of the guns from the opposing turret gradually fell silent, the captains of the Southeast Fleet were all relaxed. Seeing the power of the battleships on their side, the captains of those cruise ships were all envious. It would be nice if they could command a battleship. !
Although the navy is working hard, it is really cool to fire, and it is even more cool to fire with battleships!
Don't worry, as long as you work hard, you are not afraid of not having a battleship to command you.
They received internal rumors. Their boss, who always boasted that he was thicker, bigger, and harder than others, would never tolerate others being stronger than him. He asked the shipyard to continue building Tier 3 battleships, and eventually reached five. Ten ships, and even an ambitious plan. It is very likely to reach one hundred Tier 3 battleships. At the same time, even more terrifying Tier 1 battleships with more than 100 guns are being developed!
Follow this boss!
The battleships extended their attacks, pouring shells towards the port and the city. They fired port and starboard cannons, leaving Banten city in chaos. Some places were on fire. People knew it was hard to resist. They yelled and cried and fled the city. , The army is in a state of chaos.
...
When the resistance of Banten City was found to be very weak, the Southeast Fleet used cruise ships to protect the battleships, and the ships bombarded Banten City in an orderly manner for a whole day!
Chen De adopted the advice of his staff, and instead of rushing to attack the city, he tried his best to create panic. It only fired artillery, and the city was full of rumblings. Even if the people from Banten flee with their wealth, it does not matter.
There are people escaping every minute in the city, but it is terrible at the port~www.wuxiaspot.com~The cruise ships of the Southeast Fleet unceremoniously attack the Banten ships!
"Fire!" female officer Chen Yuxue shouted. She controlled a pound cannon and fired shots, swept a fishing boat and beat the people on the boat so badly that many people fell into the water!
The guns of the cruise ship sounded in unison, and then leaned forward to capture the larger fishing boat of the other party. Although the mosquitoes were small, they were meat. The bunches of fishing boats were taken to a small island controlled by the Southeast Fleet.
The smaller fishing boat sank directly.
As usual, the Southeast Fleet controls a small island, and the fleet is parked there at night, under high security.
...
A round of sunset sinks to the bottom of the sea, and the sunset glows brilliantly, and flocks of seabirds returning from the sea fly by.
The city gradually returned to calm, but the faces of the soldiers and civilians in the city were grim. The streets and alleys were nowhere to be seen before it was dark, and the sound of the wind blowing through the empty streets was mixed with bursts of weeping.
The monarchs and ministers in the palace discussed again, all of them dumb!
