vs 322 The Pain of the Second Battle of Batavia

The chain bullets flying in the sky are whirling like meteors!

Pierced the sail, cut the cables, and knocked down the front and rear masts!

With a bang, two masts made of solid teak from Southeast Asia were smashed!

The Dutch gunners showed their miraculous gunnership!

Although the gunners of the Southeast Army have undergone the training of moon and moon, the red haired fan is worthy of being a veteran of playing artillery, they need to have experience, technology, and skill, and there are genius gunners!

At the very least, the veteran gunner can aim at the position of the southeast warship according to the relative speed of the two ships, and shoot accurately!

At this time, the southeast fleet approached from the upwind of the starboard side of the Dutch ship, and the starboard side of the Dutch ship was windy, and the port side sank by the wind, and the gun port on the starboard side went up, and when the cannon was fired, it was to hit the plane.

But the veterans of gunnery fired chain bullets, specializing in hitting the opponent's mast and cable, and the gunners of the five Dutch ships in a row were all veterans, and the leading Xiao Changrong battleship was only left with the middle mast, and the rest of the sail was almost gone!

Now Xiao Changrong is finished!

The entire ship was covered by falling sails, which they managed to push aside, and had to break away from the formation and use the rudder control and the few sails to go as far as possible to the left.

The two southeast warships that followed him were both struck in front of the whirling chain bombs, one breaking one mast and the other breaking two masts, barely driving and unable to act as a pilot ship.

So the Southeast No. 2, which was in fourth place, narrowly escaped those terrifying chain bombs, and the boatswain on the ship said to his captain: "Sir, you have been promoted!" Now you're the pilot! ”

Something similar to that I said once before, this captain is the lucky classmate Cheng Yu, he held a cane, and said unhappily: "I'd rather not be promoted to this kind of official!" ”

He ordered the battleship to raise a flag with a white sheep embroidered on a red background, indicating that the ship was a pilot ship, and it was an honor to be the head ship, but it was also a more dangerous job.

"Let the co-captain command the artillery battle!" Cheng Yu ordered, and he concentrated on commanding and controlling the ship, no matter what the artillery battle was, as long as the navigation work was done well, it would be a miracle.

The southeast No. 2 shook and turned a compass point to the left, its starboard rear facing a bow like a hand playing the harp, the ship named "Apollo" Dutch ship, it fired guns one after another, but the hit rate was not high, the chain bullet failed to hit the Tainan No. 3, just when Cheng Yu felt lucky, the Apollo flew out an 18-pound cannonball, hit the gun deck in the middle of the southeast No. 2, this gun was huge, penetrating the left and right sides of the battleship, that is, the ship was penetrated!

Cheng Yu, who happened to be in the middle, felt a violent tremor on the soles of his feet, and he saw the cannonball fly out with sawdust and a touch of bright red.

The shelling of the gun deck fell silent, and it seemed that a long time passed before the guns on the gun deck organized an offensive again.

Soon he knew the reason, the cannon just now hung up his deputy captain!

The news made Cheng Yu stunned for ten seconds, and then he roared angrily: "Avenge our deputy captain!" ”

The unfortunate Vice Captain of the Southeast No. 2 was the first senior officer to die in battle, and the next ones followed!

……

The cannon roared, the battle was urgent, and the two sides fought together!

Both sides showed their abilities, the starboard guns of the Southeast Fleet continued to fire, and their gunnery training results were quite good, and the shells fired hit the Dutch ship heavily, causing the hull to shake violently, wooden blocks, wood chips and flesh flew sideways, and the water column around the Dutch ship rose into the sky when it missed the bullet at close range!

The Dutch gunners, on the other hand, showed their superb gunnery and colored.

A huge cannon sound shook the sea, and the gunboats on both sides competed to breathe fire and smoke, and one after another shells shot out of the chamber, and the thick white smoke flew away!

There was no sloppiness at all, everyone was fighting each other's ships, and the hull of the ship shook non-stop.

The non-commissioned officers on the warship tried to count the number and yield of artillery shelling for combat analysis, but soon found that they could not do it accurately, only approximately, and the density of the roar exceeded their speed of reaction, and the smoke of gunpowder rose as far as they could see, and the black smoke and white fog after the explosion enveloped the entire maritime battlefield.

……

The Black Warrior Siresma stood on the stern and watched a large ship with fifty cannons sail towards him. (This is a converted Dutch merchant ship, the Dutch running on the ocean actually do not have a navy in the real sense, and the warships are all converted merchant ships)

Before the strong against the strong, the two ships tacitly did not attack the previous small ship, so as to give the opponent's big ship a ruthless ground in the best condition.

"Kill them!" Siresma sensed that his men were excited, and his troops were trained by him to be very belligerent, and they were ready to fight.

Two ships meet!

Maintaining a terrible silence, Siresma saw the captain on the other side, a red-haired fellow, and ordered at the same time with him: "Fire!" ”

In the loud bang, Siresma was shocked to find that the hull of the ship had tilted sharply, obviously the other party also had a lot of heavy artillery!

Wooden blocks and shrapnel burst from all over the hull like high-belted blades through paper, piercing through the armor and striking the human body, mercilessly tearing and slicing everything it encountered, and the armor obediently gave way, splitting the head, arms, legs, and even the body in two, decorating the battleship with a vivid color of flesh and blood.

The deafening sound of the cannon could not suppress the groans and screams, and they could be heard clearly.

The eight Marines who stood in front of Siresma fell one after another, and even he was stabbed by two or three pieces of shrapnel or wooden bars, but fortunately he did not break through the defense and nailed to his armor.

He gently dusted off those things, waved his hand as if wiping away the dust, did not take the risk at that time into account, and said fiercely: "Fire!" ”

Another group of Marines stood in front of him, acting as a meat shield for him.

He was beaten very badly, and the Dutch ship did not please him, the gun deck on the second floor was almost two-thirds dumb gun emplacement, and the gun deck was full of dead and wounded, and it was a mess!

Such ferocious firepower! The Dutch, who was not small, hurriedly transferred the guns on the other side to facilitate the battle.

……

Storm Passage!

In the navigation, it refers to the sea with strong winds, and by extension, in the naval battle, it refers to the combat area where the firepower is particularly fierce, and lo and behold, the battleships under the command of Yan Changwu, Li Ying, Yan Donglai, and Kostit rushed in, and the other side also came one after another with six large ships of forty or fifty guns, and immediately launched a ferocious artillery bombardment!

Just a hundred meters away, there seemed to be countless cannon ports converging into a flash of light, and the battleship was stagnant, advancing at a turtle speed, and the cannon fire was continuous, shooting at the opponent!

The "Kraken," with more than 46 guns, fired three salvos at the No. 2 battleship in the South China Sea, and the sound of fire and gunpowder condensed into a loud bang.

A large mushroom cloud tumbled and soared on the Nanhai No. 2!

The flag fell, and Deputy Admiral Li Ying was killed!
