Actual combat is the most effective way to test new weapons, and in previous battles, the performance of the three main guns of the Zhiyuan has been tested in actual combat, although there are some small flaws, but overall it is still reliable.

Since there is no problem with the main gun, it is time to vigorously drill the short-range light weapons system. The Hatch Chase rapid-fire gun and the Gatling heavy machine gun were the best rapid-fire weapons in the world at the time, and in the years when Maxim did not appear, these two weapon systems were the kings of short-range fire coverage.

At a distance of less than 1,500 meters, the large-caliber Hatch Chase has begun to breathe out anger, not to mention the 57 and 47 mm caliber Hatch Chase rapid-fire guns at such a close distance, even the 37 mm caliber Hatch Chase can easily accurately cover the firepower on the Glory.

Don't think that Hatch Chase is a little-known small company, small brand, this is a century-old brand, the crooked handle machine gun that later generations of Chinese are very familiar with, in fact, it is the 1909 Hatch Chase 8 mm classic model imitated by various countries.

A dense rain of bullets began to sweep towards the deck of the Glory, like the scythe of death harvesting life, and the sound of violent explosions continued, and soon a layer of corpses covered the deck.

"General, be careful......" The second mate roared and knocked down Major General Bruce from the side, only to hear a loud bang, and the back of the second mate was suddenly blown into a sieve by shrapnel.

"Sean, Sean ......" Bruce hugged his close comrade with tears streaming down his face, and he shouted to the sky, "God, why punish us like this, what the hell have we done wrong......

"Damn Chinese, you have killed my friends, destroyed my future, trampled on my glory......! God will punish you, you are beasts!"

"Fire, keep fi......ring," there was a bang, and another explosion of fire and smoke rose into the sky, and shrapnel swished through General Bruce's forehead, and the blood stained his eyes red like a curtain, and the heavens and the earth were all red.

Everything in front of General Bruce was blood-red, the blue sky, the sea, the white clouds, and the steel behemoth rushing through the smoke of gunpowder...... Everything was blood-red.

The loud explosion shook his ears, and the buzzing flies kept flying in his ears, and he couldn't shake his head anymore. The sound of the artillery was faintly like the muffled thunder in the distance, the panicked screams of the soldiers, and the angry slogans became bursts of noise, and nothing could be heard.

At that moment, it seemed that time had slowed down, and the general could see the slow motion of shrapnel cutting through the soldiers' bodies, and he could also see the severed limbs flying in mid-air quickly turning into flesh and mud and falling into the sea.

The bow gun was still firing, and the bloodied guns roared like mad lions, but the 120-caliber guns could not tear off the sturdy armor of their opponents, no matter how hard they tried.

"Oh God, why do you punish us like this......"

Just when General Bruce's tears of despair flowed for a long time, the Zhiyuan was already close to a distance of less than 800 meters, which was the effective range of the Gatling heavy machine gun, and the six-barreled high-speed rotating machine gun could empty a magazine of bullets in an instant, which was called a real saturation attack.

On the sea, people can even see the ballistic traces formed by the bullets flying at high speed, and the bullets rained down on the surviving soldiers on the deck, especially in the area of the bow gun, the bullets clanged on the iron plate, and the gunners were bitten by the bullet just as he tried to dodge the left waist.

"Ahh

The massacre, this was a one-sided massacre, at this moment there was no more fire on the deck, there might be a few living people hidden in the pile of corpses, but they had lost any courage to resist, and the massacre had finally exhausted the last shred of courage of the French.

"Report to the captain! The enemy's cruiser has sunk, the battleship has no firepower to counterattack, please instruct the next move!"

Xiang Ying couldn't hold back her excitement and shouted: "See? This is the surprise that the prime minister has brought us, and this is the hope that the prime minister has brought to our nation! Long live the prime minister!"

"Long live! Long live! Long live...... "There was jubilation on the Zhiyuan, and people howled and cried excitedly.

This is the first time since the Opium War that the Chinese have used the superiority of technology and the power of science and technology to defeat the European powers, and the victory of this naval battle has become a landmark event in the era of European sea power.

"Report our casualties!" Xiang Ying roared.

Internal Affairs Minister Kim Sam-soon raised his head and shouted, "23 people were slightly injured, and 6 people were seriously injured...... None of them died!"

"Very good, you are responsible for the wounded, Qiu Wei, Liu Anchen, Jiang Yuheng, Yan Xing, Steven, Daniel, Grant...... Take 150 commandos, fully armed and ready to jump!"

"If we catch a big fish, we will interrogate them immediately...... I'll only give you a quarter of an hour, and then I'll go and rescue the Kunshan right away!"

The two ships got closer and closer, and when they were less than ten meters apart, the special operators who boarded the ship swung over like apes with ropes tied to high places, which was a basic naval combat skill that all the soldiers had trained many times, and none of them missed.

The big leather boots began to trample on the deck of the Glory, as on the pride of the French, and there was roar one after another.

"Safety...... It's also safe here...... There are no survivors...... There are no survivors here either...... Half of the troops entered the cabin, and when they met resistance, they did not leave a ...... alive"

"Look, there's a big fish here...... He's still a general, come and see!"

Qiu Wei and Liu Anchen were the first to rush over, and the two looked at each other and were stunned, "Damn, it's him...... Captain! It's Bruce's old bastard! It's Bruce who attacked the Ryukyus...... Bruce, a Frenchman, my grandmother's damn one, what a big fish!"

Xiang Ying was also stunned: "How could it be him? Intelligence shows that he was not politically exiled with Molière? How can he continue to lead warships?"

Two-thirds of the Chinese students present today have participated in the defense of the Ryukyus, and they will never forget the appearance of Bruce and Molière until they die, and they will never remember it wrong in this life.

Yan Xing kicked open the door of the captain's room, and he saw the name of the Glory at a glance with his rough French, "Damn, this strange guy is actually the Glory, we finally got revenge......

He rushed to the deck and yelled, "Brothers, a battleship is the French flagship Glorious that bombed Naha! Damn, it turned out that I went back to France to upgrade the ironclad, I said why don't you know each other? Revenge! We avenged the dead brothers......

Xiang Ying didn't have time to get excited, and suddenly slapped his head and said, "Quick search...... Look where Molière is, and there's no way he's going to search for me right away, ......."
