The enemy battery opened fire, and the southeastern battleships turned a blind eye, and they continued to rush to the enemy battery.

The screams of the fort came from far and near, followed by columns of water on the left and right sides of the outboard close to Kaohsiung No. 31.

This cruiser rushed the fastest, and the other side concentrated artillery fire and bombarded Kaohsiung No. 31.

Chen Yuxue stood steadily, standing on the side facing the artillery fire.

Although she is young, she is already a good hand in war, and her courage is not allowed to shave her eyebrows.

"Boom ......"

The cruiser trembled and was hit by enemy artillery.

But the officers and men on the ship are fearless, or they are hard-headed, after all, the captain is the first, and she is still a woman!

The other ships could not be disgraced at all and followed suit.

Kaohsiung No. 31 is gradually increasing in speed, and it has rushed to the front of the forward fleet!

On the flagship "Nanhai No. 2" in the back, Governor Chen De asked the fleet commander Hong Xuguan: "Who is that?" "Fingers rushed to the front" Kaohsiung No. 31 cruiser ".

The army needs such a battleship captain the most, and such a captain deserves praise!

"She's Chen Yuxue!" Hong Xuguan admired the authentic way.

"It's her!" Chen De felt a headache, he knew Chen Yuxue's identity, but he couldn't force her down, but if something happened to her, it would be a big trouble, and it would cast a shadow on his victory.

"Is the waterway clear?" Chen De asked.

"Forward Kaohsiung 31 has sent a signal, the channel is clear, and your fleet can approach the enemy battery!" Hong Xuguan said respectfully.

As the governor of Java, Tran Duc controlled military and political affairs, especially in foreign wars, and his power was not insignificant.

"Go ahead, the battleships are ready to attack, and today they are going to be destroyed all!" Chen De ordered.

"Yes, Lord Governor!" Officer Hong ordered the fleet to follow the advance to approach the enemy battery.

Kaohsiung No. 31, which rushed to the front, dragged out a long track, and as the ship's side was level with the opponent's battery, the left side gun opened fire and attacked the enemy battery.

However, the first cannon was not of great quality, and the disemboweled shell flew over the Manten battery and fell behind it.

Then the second and third guns fell on the battery, and the shells of the last eight guns all fell on the Banten battery, which was the deputy captain of Kaohsiung No. 31 who corrected the trajectory in time and smashed all the shells on the heads of the Banten people.

This deputy captain is named Chen Yuansheng, in fact, he is a senior captain, he was originally the deputy captain of Kaohsiung 23, and later was promoted to the captain of Kaohsiung 11 because of his meritorious work in gunfighting, and then became the deputy captain of Kaohsiung 31, not that he did anything wrong, but that the Java fleet must keep Chen Yuxue, not only because she is the woman who oversees the army, but also because she wants to show the world that the Southeast Army is different, so Kaohsiung 31 has been specially strengthened.

Most of his subordinates were veteran gunners, and they finished reloading in a little more than a minute, and the iron bullets and propellants were reloaded, and Chen Yuansheng shouted: "Volley!" ”

"Boom......!"

The hull of Kaohsiung 31 tilts to the right under the action of recoil!

The entire gun deck was shrouded in billowing smoke, and one after another shot of iron bullets swooped into the distance accompanied by a thin white mist!

Streams of white gunpowder smoke continued to rise on the rest of the cruisers, and dozens of shells fell one after another around the opponent's batteries.

The thunderstorm sounded on the sea, and the officers and men of the Java fleet in the southeast province could not imagine how frightened the Banten people on the fort were at this moment.

Although they used artillery, they did not fire a few cannons in a year.

Well, the artillery, gunpowder and shells sold to them by the Hongmao Fan are expensive, in addition to how many cannons they fired when they learned to open artillery, and how many cannons they fired when they inspected the magnates, and all year round, the artillery didn't sound at all.

The messy cannonballs kept falling on or around the forts, crashing into the forts, and almost every shell poured nearby made the hearts of the Wandan people in the forts tremble, only to ask God to bless!

It's not for people to play with real M!

In contrast, the gunners of the Javanese fleet have undergone intensive training in the style of "moon and moon, water, fire, wood and gold", and it is common to shoot artillery, and we can return three or four cannons when the opponent fires one shot.

An even greater catastrophe struck after the battleships of the Southeast Fleet began to attack, and the earth-shattering bombardment of the 24-pounder cannon was like the roar of a giant beast, and the scarlet tongue of fire spewed out by the cannon reflected the blue sea and sky!

The shells were dense and fell in a row, and the Banten people on the battery were hit by shells one after another, smashing them to pieces and panicking.

The smoke and dust filled the air, raised high, and lasted for a long time.

At first, the Banten were brave enough to shoot at the battleships of the Southeast Fleet with their 6-pounder guns, but it soon became clear that it was in vain!

Their shells can't break through the defenses!

The battleship's bulwarks are sturdy, impregnable as a copper wall!

Moreover, the power of heavy artillery is unimaginable.

How can such a battle still be fought!

Hearing the sound of the guns from the opponent's battery, the captains of the ships of the Southeast Fleet were relaxed, looking at the power of the battleships on their side, the captains of those cruisers were all envious, if only they could command a battleship!

Although the navy is hard, it is really cool to shoot artillery, and it is even more cool to shoot guns with battleships!

Don't worry, as long as you work hard, you are not afraid that there will be no battleship for you to command.

They received internal rumors that their boss, who always boasted that his guy was thicker, bigger and harder than others, would never tolerate others being stronger than him, and he asked the shipyard to continue to build third-class battleships, eventually reaching fifty, and even had a big plan, probably a hundred third-class battleships, and at the same time, the more terrifying first-class battleships with more than 100 guns were being developed!

Follow this boss to have a head!

The battleships extended their attacks, pouring shells on the port and the city, and they fired the port and starboard guns, leaving the whole city of Banten in chaos, and in some places it was on fire, and the people, knowing that it was difficult to resist, fled the city with shouts and weeping, and the soldiers were in chaos.

……

When it was discovered that the resistance of Banten Castle was very weak, the Southeast Fleet protected the battleships with cruisers, and each ship bombarded Banten Castle in an orderly manner for a whole day!

Chen De adopted the advice of his staff department, and did not rush to attack the city at first, but tried to create panic as much as possible, and only fired artillery to make the city noisy, even if the Banten people fled with their wealth.

Every minute inside the city someone is fleeing, and in the harbor it is miserable, and the cruisers of the Southeast Fleet are unceremoniously attacking the Banten ships!

"Fire!" Chen Yuxue, a female officer, shouted, she controlled a small cannon, fired a shotgun, swept a fishing boat, beat the people on board to a miserable death, and many people fell into the water!

The cruiser's guns rang out, and then they approached and captured the larger fishing boats of the other side, which were small but also meat, and the fishing boats were brought to a small island controlled by the Southeastern Fleet.

The smaller fishing boats were directly sunk.

As usual, the Southeastern Fleet took control of a small island, and docked the fleet there at night with a high guard.

……

A round of sunset sinks to the bottom of the sea, and the sunset shines brightly, and flocks of seabirds fly by from the sea to land.

The city gradually returned to calm, but the faces of the soldiers and civilians in the city were grim, and the streets and alleys were already deserted before dark, and the wind whistling through the empty streets was mixed with bursts of weeping.

The kings and ministers in the palace discussed again, and they were all dumbfounded! 8)
