0651 got off to a good start
The battleship Laizhoufu was hit by a shell! The heavy shell smashed straight open the side of the ship, causing a huge wound! The shell smashed directly on one of the gun emplacements, knocking a cannon to the ground! Crushed two soldiers on the spot! whereas
The barrels roll around with the waves on the gun deck! Fortunately, the sailors were trained and knew how to deal with it, and used a few wooden wedges against the artillery, otherwise it rolled, and then tied it with ropes to stabilize the artillery.
As for the flying debris, the two nearby gun emplacements were enveloped in them, and seven or eight gunners fell to the ground screaming. However, in the face of this situation, Liu Pei had a plan. After being wounded, the Laizhoufu immediately turned around and sailed into the distance, and the back-up warships joined the battle group, and the number of Sasou warships was always maintained. Because of the angle of fire, it is impossible to accommodate too many ships here, and eight ships is already the limit.
The two sides shot each other for nearly 40 minutes, and the first to open the record was actually the Dongchangfu! Li Dongyu and Zhou Donglei, two good friends, once again formed a combat group, with Zhou Donglei in front and Li Dongyu in the back. The firing frequency of both men is well mastered.
The batteries on the shore were quadrangular in shape, empty in the middle, where stairs, gunpowder and shells could be placed, and there were doors with their backs to the sea, where the gunners came and went. At the top is an open-air casemate. But the semicircular breastwork on the side facing the sea was thick and resistant to shells. So the Dutch gunners relied on this breastwork to withstand the shelling of the warships on the sea.
But a miracle happened in this moment! Originally, the battleship Dongchangfu had already reached the northern end of the island, and had to turn back, so that when it was bombarded with the other side gunwale, there was a lucky shell in the last row of shells they fired, which flew low on the right side of the semicircular row chest, flew off a human leg, and smashed heavily into the tail of the gun!
Under the huge impact of the shell, the cannon immediately fell to the ground! Crush three gunners to the ground! For a time blood flowed all over the fort! The screams are even louder! The soldiers were accustomed to seeing blood and could accept it, but the civilians were so frightened that they couldn't move!
The artillery was already deformed when it was first hit by a shell. Coupled with the fact that the barrel of the cannon fell to the ground again, such a heavy artillery officer was simply not something that a few people could lift. This fort is completely ruined!
The ship's lookout immediately informed the whole ship of the good news! The whole ship was jubilant! And Zhou Donglei was depressed when he was informed! He was holding back his strength and wanted to show his face, but he didn't expect his good friend to take the lead!
However, Zhou Donglei was optimistic by nature, and then he recalled the incident that robbed Li Dongyu of his credit not long ago, and became happy again! He immediately shouted to the sailors: "Guys, work harder! We've already knocked out one fort, and we're going to take over the second one soon! ”
The sailors on board roared better! They are clamoring to look good for the Dutch! There were also clamoring to shoot at the guns, to blow up all the batteries with their own ships! As a result, he was beaten by the sailors!
This battery was out of action, and the combat power of two ships was liberated. When they join in the bombardment of other batteries, the density of shells falling is even greater! It was even more smashed that the fort and the surrounding land were dusty!
After a long period of shelling, there was finally a battery that could not stand it! The wall of this battery facing the sea was finally pierced by a cannonball! The shells flew into the inside of the casemate, and a large hole in the wall the size of four or five bricks appeared!
Seeing this result, the gunners in the fleet were even more excited and worked harder to reload their guns! When the commander of the temporary fleet found out about this, he immediately commanded six warships to concentrate on besieging this battery. The other two battleships kept provoking the other two batteries.
After the fleet gathered fire, this battery was suppressed by the fleet's fire so that it couldn't even fire the cannon! After all, not everyone has the courage to brave the shells that whizz overhead, and they can still straighten up and reload the artillery!
Under the siege of the six captains, the walls of that fort were broken more and more, and finally a large piece collapsed! The entrance to the cave is scary! You can even see the structure inside!
As this wall collapsed, so did the forts! The gunners on the turret noticed that something was wrong and jumped off the turret to escape. As a result, not long after they jumped off the fort, the fort collapsed with a bang! The barrel of the cannon is on the ground and rolls out of the way!
Cheers were remembered again inside the fleet! Just as the commander was adjusting the distribution of firepower, the people of the other two batteries didn't know whether they had received the order or gave up timidly, so they jumped off the batteries and fled into the complex!
Now the cheers of the sea fleet are even higher! The sailors high-fived each other! Having defeated the four batteries, the fleet immediately began to approach the coast, shelling buildings that might be hiding people. The outermost buildings have firing ports on them. At the beginning of the building, it was prepared as a half fortress. So you have to bring them down.
The fleet, without the threat of batteries, immediately approached the shore with confidence and began to shell the buildings. Due to the shortening of the distance, the bomb area of the building is much higher than that of the battery, so the hit rate of the artillery is quite high! It's just that due to the short duration of the shelling, it can't be defeated for a while. But it's only a matter of time before they are defeated!
Liu Pei put down the binoculars with satisfaction. In the past, when I read books, I always saw the enemy's fleet flaunting its might on our shores, but now our own fleet is bullying people with artillery! Although this time it is still fighting on their own soil, since they have a fleet, the day of going to other people's shores to show their majesty is coming soon!
Rui Ran said that Liu Pei's fleet was still far from the current maritime powers, but Liu Pei was not in a hurry. He still has plenty of time to build more fleets, and when the time comes, Liu Pei really wants to take his family to see the faces of those Westerners, it must be very exciting!
This is a new change on the sea, Liu Pei immediately picked up the telescope and looked at it. At this time, the boats carrying the soldiers received the signal, and the marines began to row their boats towards the shore! For a time the sea was covered with small boats, and even the navigation of the fleet that shelled the complex was affected.
But at this time, there was no threat of batteries, and these warships simply dropped anchor and stopped on the sea to continue shelling. In this way, the hit rate is improved.
The boat is getting closer and closer to the shore. The striker has reached the reef area. The Dutch chose to build their complexes here mainly because they felt that enemy ships could not get close. Because the coast on this side is densely covered with reefs!
