Chapter 876: The end of the Bodong Notre Dame

.., the hero of the Ming Dynasty dominates overseas

A possible political situation and military earthquake were temporarily subdued under the intervention of Madam Yang and Chen Zhongji. Under the current circumstances of this enemy, how can he easily touch the generals in front, especially since he has no antipathy, how can he do it? Self-destruction of the Great Wall.

Mrs. Yang signed a commendation order to commend the Southeast Fleet for its merits in killing the enemy. After the war subsides, she will carefully state her merits!

The position of the propaganda mouth is clear and unmistakable, showing that Chen De used weak enemies and strong to protect the fleet, and effectively contained the Hong Mao Fan Yunyun.

The army rushed to battle at sea with the Clippers. In fact, when our battleship sank before, Mrs. Yang did not blame. After sinking five enemy battleships, she praised the fleet for its merits in killing the enemy, showing her dedication to the soldiers ahead. stand by!

However, it is imminent that the Red Capsule fleet is coming to the shore, and there are already more than 30 Red Capsules on the sea!

The defense of the Rising Sun Port is to go out to the sea in front of the Harvest Fort, covering the main port of Rising Sun Port on the left and the Bund of Rising Sun City on the right.

The offshore is always the most favored site. Buildings extend to the left and right along the fort. The port and residential areas continue to stretch. The port anchors ships. The residential areas are mostly rich (definitely). When the Southeast Mansion is in full swing, Yan Changwu also advocates offensive. , Patronizing shipbuilding, so that no fort can be built on the beaches everywhere.

As a result, when the Orphans came, the seaside residential area and the newly opened seaport were in danger of attack.

After the Hong Maofan fleet's attempt to sail to the city of Rising Sun became apparent, the Southeast Mansion was anxious to build a fort in the coastal area, but the effect was not satisfactory.

There are too many places for Gein to defend, and the range of his artillery is limited.

Therefore, the military spirit is floating, and the public is dissatisfied!

The Hong Maofan battleship approached, looking at the Harvest Fortress that dominates the sea like a giant, the captains of the Hong Maofan frowned.

Fengshou Fort is a major coastal defense area operated by the Southeastern government for many years. It was used to defend the city of the Rising Sun. It was fortified during the Dutch occupation period. Fortresses were repaired, cannons were arranged, and facilities continued to be strengthened. With the rise of the Southeast Palace, Yan Changwu paid more attention to the Fort .

So far there are two large forts (separate east and west), 10 earthen forts, and 10 earthen forts. Each fort is three feet to five feet high, and the perimeter of the base is fifty feet to sixty feet. The upper bricks and the lower stones are equal. It is constructed of concrete and steel bars, with a total of 108 heavy artillery cannons, and the muzzle is aimed at the magnificent sea, forming the Fengshou fort group. A relatively complete three-dimensional coastal defense system has been perfected.

There are 36 42-pound guns, 36 32-pound guns, 36 24-pound guns, and 48 12-pound and 6-pound guns.

As the Southeast Army pursuing bigger, harder and thicker, heavy artillery is super long, 30%-50% longer than naval guns of the same caliber, which can hold more gunpowder, shoot farther and more powerful. Big.

It is conceivable that the enemy ship within the range of the heavy artillery will encounter what kind of blows!

Those 12-pound and 6-pound artillery are prepared with shotguns to deal with enemies who want to land.

But it is almost impossible to lay a bumper fort!

Because the Southeast Army also drove stakes on the beach and fastened them with chains to prevent enemy ships from landing.

The Hong Maofan battleship approached, and the experienced veterans slowed down. Only one Spanish battleship, the 66-gun "Madonna of the Treasure", rushed forward recklessly.

When it approached a range of one kilometer, it was accompanied by the battery officer's "release!"

Six 42-pounder cannon shells burst out from the East Fort.

"Boom boom boom..." There was a roar of cannons, and 24 42-pound heavy artillery guns spewed out anger one after another, full of thick white smoke, floating around.

In the smoke of gunpowder, the flames kept vomiting, and the sound of cannons sounded like a mighty symphony between the land and the sea.

The "Baodong Our Lady" is not stupid. After hearing the sound of the cannons, it walked in the shape of "Zhi" and continued to approach the fort. The shells fell around it, carrying huge kinetic energy, and fell into the sea. Splashes of water!

The "Baodong Notre Dame" has been shot in succession, but everyone knows that the power of the solid bullets in the sailing period depends on smashing. Like the Southeast Fleet and the Hong Maofan fleet, they have smashed each other for a few days and have sunk many battleships...

With the approach of the "Baodong Notre Dame", the number of shells ejected from the Fengshou Fortress gradually increased. The 32-pounder and 24 pound guns fired together, and several holes appeared on the sails of the "Baodong Notre Dame".

The Spaniards never returned fire. The artillery of that period was a smoothbore gun, not a rifled gun. It was fine at a range of 300 meters, but 500 meters would be worse. If you reach a kilometer, you often don’t know where to go. Can God bless the hit rate.

When it reached 500 meters, the "Baodong Our Lady" fired back fire, using their 24-pound cannon to blast at the fort.

But their shells are in vain!

The concrete markings of the retaining wall of the Fengshou Fortress are high, coupled with the connection of the steel bars, and the solid bullets can only hit the potholes, which can not be touched at all!

Let alone collapse. Only outside observers have to be careful of the hopping cannonballs.

Sometimes the opponent's shells fell on the mud outside the fort, and a lot of mud was lifted up, which looked quite spectacular, but unfortunately there were postures that were not practical and could not hurt the defenders inside the fort.

The fort is semi-enclosed, with a protective wall in front of it, connected by tunnels everywhere, and it is not afraid of enemy shells at all.

But the fort was fascinated by the choking smoke, which made the soldiers cough, even though they had covered their noses and mouths with wet towels, tears flowed uncontrollably.

The smoke was suffocating. The soldiers wearing bulletproof vests and helmets, no shirts and only a trousers, and well-dressed officers were sweating, but no one stopped to rest.

Whether it’s a warship or a gun emplacement, if the necessary armor is removed, it will be punished by military law. Soldiers can also be dressed cooler (regardless of whether you wear clothes in the clause), but officers must remain decent, and some officers’ clothes will be I'm soaked in sweat---it's not easy to be an officer.

Carry ammunition~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Load ammunition, adjust height, adjust muzzle angle, fire, shoot!

At close range, the 42-pound heavy artillery was so powerful that it hit the "Baodong Notre Dame" as if it jumped out of the water!

The "Baodong Notre Dame" even hit more than a dozen heavy artillery shells. The Southeast Army fought extremely fiercely, accurately and quickly, and their training was not in vain.

Gunpowder, artillery shells, artillery barrel wear, military expenses, and target ships all cost money, but the leaders are willing to pay, and they don’t show up at all. Every year there is a half-month training period for sea closure, which shuts down ports and loses a lot of money. , But the same applies!

The port side of the "Baodong Notre Dame" entered the water, and the speed was getting slower and slower. It tilted to the left and turned around in the sea. When it turned the rudder, the starboard side was shot in succession, and then terribly, it gradually sank!

The small boat was dropped from the ship, and the officers and men jumped into the sea.

"Half an hour!" This is the time from the attack to the sinking of the "Baodong Our Lady". The Hong Maofan who was watching the battle could not help but stare at each other when he saw that the Chinese fort seemed intact.
