Chapter 404: Little Jonah Makes a Great Contribution
After the failure of Nguyen Thi Dinh's breakthrough, the expeditionary force did not continue to try, but adopted the countermeasure of holding its troops and tightly holding its camp.
The enemy, too, as before, did not take offensive actions against the expeditionary force, but surrounded it from afar, as if waiting for the right moment.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mai Ke turned his attention to the fighting on the banks of the Saigon River.
At this time, Napoleon's fleet was approaching the section of the river directly opposite the west gate of Jiading, which was the closest to the city of Jiading. However, there is still a distance of one kilometer.
At this time, suddenly a convoy of warships, about the same size as the armored personnel carriers of Napoleon's fleet, rushed towards the fleet from the upper reaches of the Saigon River, and rushed towards the fleet like a swarm, with guns blaring as they went.
Napoleon looked at it, and it was an old rival again, or those Annan ships.
The last time he led a fleet to send Qiu Jili's marines over, he fought with them. At that time, these warships were content to harass from a distance, and were not yet able to pose a real threat.
This time, the firepower is obviously much stronger, and the tactical coordination has also been greatly improved.
Napoleon lifted the lookout that hung on his chest and saw why. Among the many Annanshi strokes, there were some Frenchmen dressed in blue.
Looking at those guns, although they did not have the heavy guns on their own warships, the small naval guns and rifles did not lag behind their own equipment in the slightest. It is especially strange that in front of these ships, there are also some ships that seem to be laden with cargo, could it be that the bottom of the ship behind them is protected?
Not to mention, the sudden appearance of these warships really caused more than a dozen casualties.
Napoleon was about to send a frigate to destroy them. The three treaties that have been swimming in front of them took the fish and shot first.
They're done clearing the river, and they're feeling like they're having nothing to do.
The river in front is already narrow, not to mention that the flagship cannot enter, and even the frigate is restricted in its movements. But for Jonah the fish, it was just right.
Originally, if these Annan ships did not fire their guns, Jonah did not know whether they were friends or foes. As soon as they saw them shooting at the fleet, the three big fish immediately became excited, and without waiting for further orders, they launched directly and rushed head-on.
These Annan warships are an important part of the tripartite alliance. It was a trick to stop or even inflict heavy damage on the French fleet. For this. They put hundreds of French marines on board and equipped them with the best guns.
The real killer feature is the ships in front, those things that seem to be cargo, are barrels of fire oil. Their plan is: Rushed to the French fleet not far away. Unconnect it. Let these ships full of oil drums crash into the French fleet and destroy these ships.
According to their intelligence, this method is very effective against the ironclads at least. Because the inside of these ships is all wood.
Who knows, it's still far away from the warship, and Jonah fish sticks a stick sideways. This time there's a chance to actually fight!
The three fish went hand in hand, and the first to come into contact were the oil tankers.
I saw little Jonah plunge his big head to the bottom of the water, hold the bottom of the boat, and suddenly look up, only to hear a whin, a cargo ship of fifty or sixty tons, was thrown up, swished into the air, and then flew to the left bank in a parabolic line, until it flew twenty feet away. Boom! The whole ship fell to the ground.
Immediately after, a fireball exploded with a thud, and yellow flames flew in all directions.
Then there was a loud bang, and all the oil drums exploded and burned.
The fish on the right was the same, but it lifted the boat and threw it to the right bank, and it also flew twenty feet away, and after landing, it also exploded and burned.
The middle one, on the other hand, threw the ship forward, that is, in the direction of the enemy's fleet, and smashed it right on a boat, and the force was comparable to a bombshell. All of a sudden, the unlucky mat boat was destroyed, not to mention, and sank directly to the bottom of the water.
In this way, the three fish worked together, and in a blink of an eye, the arson move that the enemy had prepared with all their might was destroyed.
Napoleon, who was standing on the flagship and watching, saw the big fish simply and neatly pick the enemy's ships away, and the guys of dozens of tons lifted their weights like light, not only smacked their tongues.
Looking at the explosive and burning oil again, I was afraid for a while. If you let them crash into your own warship, it will at least cause a lot of trouble.
Napoleon's eyes again turned to the place where the big fish and enemy ships were fighting. With no ships to use for fire, Jonah was directly exposed to enemy fire. The enemy ships also ignored Napoleon's fleet for the time being, and poured all their hatred into their guns, shooting fiercely at the big fish in the water.
While these bullets can't really hurt the bulky Jonah fish, they don't wait to be beaten. They plunged headlong into the water and passed under the enemy ships, two straight to the rear and middle of the flotilla, with little Jonah himself at the beginning.
The enemy ship disappeared from the big fish, thinking that it was sinking to the bottom, and continued to shoot more violently, hoping to kill these hateful big guys and run away.
The battle was in full swing, and suddenly three warships rose into the sky, flipped and flew to the shore, and the soldiers, guns and equipment, etc., were sprinkled all the way, like a group of heavenly maidens scattering flowers.
It flew out thirty feet away and fell to the ground with a thud.
This time they all flew to the left bank, but fortunately they didn't fall where the oil was burning, otherwise the entire warship, and all the qiē on board, would have turned to ashes.
It's just that some unlucky soldiers, by chance, fell down just as the ship flew over the raging fire. Before he could let out a scream, he was engulfed in flames.
At this time, the enemy's fleet of ships was already in disarray, not only in formation, but also in their minds. Even if you see this situation, you will panic: the brother ship, which was still good just now, flew into the sky in the blink of an eye, and the ship was destroyed and people died.
In fact, even if you remain calm, you can't do anything. The big fish are at the bottom of the water, and next to them are their own fleet, and if they can't see it, they can't say it, even if they know that they are at the bottom of the boat, they are helpless.
Now little Jonah is in high spirits! This is the real fight! There is no falsehood!
It and its two companions were so excited that after overturning the second boat, they made a leap of the fish, jumped out of the flying surface more than a foot high, let out a strange cry, and plunged headlong into the water, and by the way, overturned three warboats.
After overturning the third boat, the command of the enemy's fleet finally realized that nothing could be done, and the white flag was raised on the command ship.
Little Jonah only cares about fighting, where will he pay attention to the white flag of the enemy ship! Mainly continued to play the spaceship game, and Mai Ke's order came in his ear: "Old friend, enough!"
Little Jonah admired the most about Mai Ke, and immediately stopped when he heard about it, and the other two fish were absolutely only the head of Little Jonah, and if he didn't turn over, they wouldn't turn over immediately.
In this way, a sizable fleet was destroyed by little Jonah like a game. (To be continued......)
