Chapter 869: Battle of Linga Island (1)
.., the hero of the Ming Dynasty dominates overseas
Cheng Yu wears a helmet painted with three stars (indicating that he is a lieutenant general) and a bulletproof vest. The golden ribbon that best shows his identity.
The Southeast Army does not play virtual, the officers no longer wear fancy dresses, but strengthen precautions to ensure the safety of officers.
He stood with a cane and coldly watched the Hong Maofan’s battleship approaching. The opponent’s lead ship was a double-deck battleship with 74 cannons to match the ship’s 76 guns. Hoho, there is a good show. Up.
Going forward together, the respective warships from behind came in one after another, all heading south to north.
The wind increased, shaking the hull of the ship.
Cheng Yu observed the wind and saw that although the guns on the lower gun deck of the opponent were open, the guns pointed towards the water surface in front of the ship, so that the enemy could only fight with the guns on the upper gun deck and weather deck.
On the other hand, all three-deck artillery can go to war, right now!
"Fire!" he categorically ordered.
As a senior general in the army, he has the right to fire!
"Boom boom boom..." The artillery fired, and the ships behind also fired.
Quick shot!
A few seconds later, the rumble of bullets flew over the sea between the two sides, and the sound of the bullets tearing through the airflow was shocking. The Jimidi bomb group covered the Hong Maofan's fleet.
The sea reverberated with the sound of rumbling cannons, Turnip Head Black silently counted, and his face cramped.
A little more than a minute!
The artillery re-enters and fires again!
The training of the Chinese is indeed excellent, and the one who can reach the gun speed of one minute is a first-class strong army!
British warships advocate the upper hand and let them die. Therefore, the captains of the British navy will strictly require lower-level officers and sailors to carefully train combat skills in order to defeat the enemy first in battle. For a long time, the combat effectiveness has been trained in this way, and the artillery rate is one round per minute.
In the same way, the Chinese who have followed the good example of the British have learned home, and given them three minutes to play three rounds of artillery, they can't stand it!
Turnip Black stopped hesitating and ordered to fire back.
"Boom boom boom!" For a moment, there was a blast of artillery, and the ship's body emitted a dazzling fire, and the shells pierced the edges between each other's heads and sides, and water jets rose from the front, back, left, and right of each ship.
The officers and soldiers on the battleship that were hit made screams. The shells cracked the bulwark, sawdust flew up, and chain bullets broke the cable, and some warships went down as a result.
Everyone used battle lines to fight. The two battle lines were parallel and the distance was less than 300 meters. At about 10 am, the two sides fired more and more fiercely. All the artillery fired together, and the rumble of the artillery was deafening and mixed. The crisp sound of the muskets, everyone tried their best, and it was murderous for a while.
On the tall flagship "Maas River", a full volley of forty artillery was fired on the starboard side.
The sound of the 36-pound cannon hit everyone's hearts heavily, and its shells were so powerful that every piece of sawdust that hit the bulwark blasted into the sky.
However, the Southeast ship was not to be outdone. Many shells fell from five to six meters on both sides of the "Masi River", which stirred up a high water column!
The Chinese shooting was very precise. The "Maas River" bombarded a battleship of the opponent. The opponent's 76 guns hit the "Maas River" with no fewer than 50 shells, killing the Dutch chief Tromp. Shrunk his head!
Artillery shells screamed and shrapnel flew horizontally. Many places on the "Mas River" were damaged, from broken bulwarks, casualties, and ropes being cut.
The other party found a good time to let the "Ma Si River" artillery be fully eaten up when it recoiled.
"The yellow-skinned monkey is really accurate!" Tromp cursed angrily.
He was not quite right, and it was Siresma, a Dutch fellow who fought with him in the southeast mansion!
In addition, there are at least ten naturalized ramblings in the Siresma ship. The entire Southeastern fleet includes naturalized Dutch, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and German ( The Holy Roman Empire) has over a thousand people!
They sacrificed themselves to fight for the Southeast Mansion, and they did not have the slightest softness to start.
Yan Changwu in the southeast is rich in tolerance, pay attention to attracting foreign population, and is known as the wind of the prosperous Tang!
In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, there were many naturalized fan generals, such as Perseverance, Ashina Sheer, Qifu Heli, Heifang Changzhi, Li Jinxing, Gao Xianzhi, Ge Shuhan, Li Guangbi, etc., fighting for the Tang Dynasty and Baojiangshan. , Achieve a good name.
In the southeast government, Mr. David, Storm, Barents (shipbuilding expert), Kostit, Siresma (admiral of the navy) and Lubbers (military doctor) also came to China to help foreigners. These people shined brightly. , They are all bastards, and they are determined to follow Yan Changwu's work.
Of course, it’s not always for them. For example, foreigners who are under the age of 20 can be accepted on-demand (depending on their physical conditions), and those over the age of 20 are required to be married in addition to the collateral. Home in the Southeast Mansion, so that they have family concerns, they are not afraid that they will turn back.
There are at least tens of thousands of Chinese minors who have been naturalized in the Southeast, and there are various regulations on their requirements.
Siresma is effective in training his men. He fires fast guns and likes volleys. He fires when the ship is parallel to the enemy ship. The volley of artillery shells are dumped on the enemy ship, the enemy ship is broken, and the personnel screamed. He who is hidden in the mask has a strange pleasure!
"Hit, give labor and management a hard hit, have a good time!" He walked around on the ship, shouting, to boost morale.
He happened to ran into the Dutch flagship and let it eat up the port side artillery shells. He showed his superb ship handling skills. A 180-degree rotation came. The starboard artillery shells were so powerful that the Dutch almost lost their temper. .
Taking advantage of the Dutch dumbfounded, he drove away without giving the Dutch a chance to fight back.
People like him are really born to eat the navy’s food. He is not the only one. The officers and soldiers on the Southeast Army warships fought hard, and every time they volleyed, they hit the enemy ships accurately, and let Hong Maofan. We cried and cried!
There are 18 "Tainan-class" five-tier cruise ships (38 guns, 18 pound/26 guns, 12 pound/12 guns) in the Southeast Army’s battle line. They only have one gun deck~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but with With an 18-pound cannon, it can still cause damage to battleships.
However, the Red Hair Fans are hard stubble, especially the British gun speed is not bad, they also blasted the Southeast ship into wood everywhere.
The two sides fought fiercely, and the sea was filled with smoke. After more than three hours of fighting, none of the warships sank.
This is also the charm of warships during the sailing period. Everyone fights fiercely and can fire for a long time.
The battle line of the Southeast Fleet is about to end, and there is a long string of warships behind the Hong Maofan. The British ship with a bold and brave man at the forefront rushes directly to the Southeast Fleet, wanting to drive from the north to outflank the Southeast Fleet.
"Dangdangdang..." The sound of Mingjin sounded from the Chinese flagship. At this time, the wind direction had not changed, and the Southeast Ship immediately took the wind and broke away from the contact with the Hong Mao Fan at high speed!
The Red Hair Fans didn't make much money, and all the Southeast ships retreated safely.
However, it was still early, and the Red Hair Fans were not willing to give up, they continued to chase all the way.
