Chapter 82: Raid on Penghu Bay
After Hong Xiguan left, seeing the regretful gazes of everyone around him, Zhu Yifeng shook his head and said: "As the saying goes, those who come are not afraid, and those who are afraid will not come. He comes with a mortal heart, as long as we kill him or detain him. , The Southeast Army will use it as an excuse to fight us to the death!"
"To stimulate their morale, how can I do it!" Zhu Yifeng looked like Zhizhu from afar, and the natural subordinates were like a wave of words: "The governor's opinion!"
In fact, they regretted that an opportunity that was worthless to be an important prisoner of the other party was lost.
There was nothing wrong that night. When the sky was about to dawn, the officers and soldiers were eating breakfast on the warship, and the Southeast Fleet was so big!
……
When the gun sounded, Zhu Yifeng and Yu Zigao were having breakfast in the cabin of the Chinese Army. Yu Zigao was taking a bun and trying to put it in his mouth. Hearing the sound of the gun, the bun in his hand fell without realizing it.
Seeing his sluggish face, Zhu Yifeng was surprised: "Isn't it just a gunshot? The sound of the gun can actually scare a commander of more than 20,000 soldiers. No wonder others say that he is a general dog!"
孰zhi Yu Zigao's heart is overwhelmed: "The sound of cannons in the Southeast Mansion is too much!"
The sky will be bright, the morning light is fading, the Ming army has seen the battlefield situation clearly, and the news is reported to the Chinese military ship: "There are eighteen red hairpin splints in the Southeast Mansion!"
This news caused Zhu Yifeng to drop something too: he was lucky enough to have a teacup, but he dropped the teacup by mistake!
violent soldiers!
Under the excitement of perfecting the system, Southeast Mansion has exploded in the aura of the characteristic technology of infrastructure madness!
The Kaohsiung Shipyard has built 18 Class 6 cruisers in one go in more than a year. They are so fast and good that Barents, the chief engineer, exclaimed: "We Dutch are not as good as you!"
You must know that the speed of the Dutch man-made boat is quite fast, otherwise it will not be a sea carriage driver. Others make the boat as a boat. They build the boat as a carriage. One party builds a ship and the other builds a horse-drawn carriage. Naturally, the speed of building a horse-drawn carriage is fast. Up.
But Barents saw how the workers at the Kaohsiung Shipyard in the southeast province worked hard. Although there was overtime pay, it was nothing compared to their hard work!
They arrive early and late every day. Although they will not be treated badly for their wages, they are not for wages.
Barents was shocked, and wrote in his diary: "...The workers in the shipyard work in three shifts, working day and night. They have no rest days and work like cows all day long, without complaint or regret. !"
The battleship poured dumplings into the ground water, which made the officers and soldiers of the Daming Navy horrified.
At first they thought they had a lot of 250 warships, but the other 18 gunboats came out, one with 20 guns, 18 with 360 guns, and 180 guns on one side.
And Daming Navy’s warships are at most one gun at the bow, one gun at the stern, 500 guns seem to be too many, but it’s impossible to swarm them. The Southeast Palace’s artillery ships have a much higher firepower density than the Daming Navy.
The warship of such a great Ming navy slammed against the opponent, and immediately pierced through the wall, and the ship was in a mess, and the exclamation continued.
……
Eighteen warships formed the first strike group, rushing to the upper wind of Penghu, and lined up in a battle line. The warships came in file and bombarded the Daming Navy continuously. What a beautiful sight: a long line of beautiful fires. , The roar of the muffled thunder boat, falling on the opponent's boat, brought out bursts of screams!
Marine member Hong Xiguan has returned to the team. He is standing on the side of the command position behind Kaohsiung No. 1, with Deputy Admiral Li Ying in the center. The two are watching the effect of the shelling through binoculars, and both smiles with satisfaction.
The formation of the Southeast Mansion was covered by the night, and immediately approached and fired at dawn. Due to the high shooting hit rate of the enemy and the dense fleet of the opponents, almost no bullets were fired. The officers and soldiers of the Navy of the Ming Dynasty complained endlessly.
Seeing that the Daming Navy was attacked and could not organize an offensive, and could not threaten the army for the time being, Li Ying put down the binoculars, relaxed, and said to official Hong Xi: "You are going to the Navy this time. We are really worried about you. Fortunately, you Come back safely, your father will be pleased to hear about it. However, don't do this in the future! This time you met Governor Zhu, and their literati love face. If it were Yu Zigao, you would never leave."
"I'm not afraid!" Hong Xiguan said indifferently: "If I die, you will avenge me, I also have children, and the Overseer will take care of them in the future."
Li Ying nodded, knowing what Hong Xi official said was true.
The Southeast Army has established a very complete system of preferential treatment and pensions, that is, fighting for the disabled by Yan Changwu, and the Southeast Government will support them for life and guarantee their treatment.
The families of those who died in the war will receive a generous pension (which Yan Changwu can afford). If they leave orphans, they will be admitted to the juvenile military academy and raised by the Southeast Government. They will join the navy or the army in the future, so life will not be a problem.
After more than a year of contact, everyone knows that Yan Changwu is a person and is kind to him. If he does what he says, he can safely sell his life to him.
"Look!" Li Ying tempted the official Hong Xi: "Future naval battles will mostly involve battles on the battle line. Gunships are kings. It's not that land battles and jump gang battles don't exist, but it's not worth it compared to artillery battles. mention!"
He raised his fist to strengthen his tone and said: "If you want to fight more, you must become a captain!"
Hong Xi’s official laughed and said: "But the captain is not going to shoot guns~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He is just commanding, and he is not enjoyable!"
"How can't it be fun!" Li Ying pointed to a small six-pound cannon on the side of the deck and said: "You can also fire the cannon, and someone will load you ammunition after the shot!"
"Besides, as a captain, you can also jump to help fight, as long as you want!"
According to the command sequence of the Southeast Mansion, the captain has the highest authority on the ship. He really wants to jump and fight. No one can control him. If he can win, nothing will happen.
"Opportunities are rare!" Li Ying quietly said: "The military academy is constantly training naval officers. There will be more and more officers in the future. There may not necessarily be opportunities like the present. Like me, I can be a deputy admiral after six months of training. At a young age, he will be a good opportunity to be the deputy captain of the third-tier ship. He will be released in the future, at least the captain of the sixth-tier ship. If he is lucky, he can become the captain of the third-tier ship delivered next year!"
Hong Xiguan couldn't help but shake!
He settled for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Just in the words of my uncle, let me make up for the position of a naval officer!"
"Very well, wrap it on me!" Li Ying successfully transferred a nephew from the Marine Corps to the Navy!
……
When the Daming Navy came out in a hurry, the ships of the First Strike Group of the Southeast Mansion pulled their sails and moved forward, and they drew a distance from the Daming Navy. The right side of the formation of the Daming Navy launched shelling.
On Yu Zigao's telescope, I saw the opposing formation's port side of the formation spewing orange-red flames, and then the guns rang.
After two rounds of shelling, the opponent drove away and circled in the distance to prepare to return!
"We have thirty-five ships injured, one ship sank! About two hundred people were killed or injured." Yu Zigao said to Zhu Yifeng in a low voice.
