Section 1050 Fighting the firepower of the Turks
The cannon is roaring, the battle is urgent, and every warship of the Southeast Fleet is creating heroic victories!
Especially the officers and men on the cruisers, they faced a strong enemy, sometimes two or three enemy ships besieged them together, and the firepower of the cruisers was not enough to overwhelm the enemy ships, they fought hard, and not a single warship flinched.
There are also smart people, Pan Xinyang, the captain of the "Kaohsiung No. 62 ship", is very old, and his record is average, but he can be called brilliant in this battle, he lured four Turki warships to come over and be "beaten" by the battleship, and as a result, all four Turki warships were sunk by the battleship!
Pan Xinyang's method was very simple, first engage the Turkic warship, and then "escape", find the battleship on the other side and get closer, find a loophole to get the battleship out of contact with the enemy ship, and let the battleship engage the Turki warship, the battleship's gun fire is powerful, and it is not a problem to destroy the enemy ship.
However, it is easier said than done, the Turkish ship is the kind of oar-scratching boat, maneuverable and flexible, if you want to get rid of them, you can't do it by talking, you need the captain's clever command ability and the active cooperation of his subordinates, Pan Xinyang commanded the battleship to constantly change the sails and eat the wind, and use the wind to choose a good time to get out of it, and it was successful repeatedly, and later, the Turks simply didn't look for him!
The Turks are heroic enough, they have a spiritual backbone, they burst out with an amazing will to fight, even if the powerful firepower of the Southeast Army, they are not afraid, they attack, attack, attack again and again!
"They have artillery, we have God!" A Turkish captain said proudly, and as soon as the words fell, his ship was drowned out by the terrible artillery fire of the battleship!
The Ottomans believed in their gods, and the officers and soldiers prayed for their god's blessing while fighting, but their ships were still hit by shells. The real gap in strength cannot be bridged by a single 'prayer'.
They have faith, and the Southeast Army is also strong in faith, and many people chant "Mazu bless" and "God Calgin bless!" There were also many people who shouted over and over again, "Fight for the leader!" ”
Fight the enemy!
Perseverance!
They used their own firepower to the fullest, and a Turkish gunboat was hit by a chain bullet on the mainmast, and the chain attached to two balls was deeply inserted into the mast, and the mast was wound and swayed, and then the whole ship heard a loud 'click', and the whole ship shook violently in this loud noise, and the mainmast like an Optimus Prime collapsed with a bang.
But it was not completely broken, and there was still a bit of stubble attached to the fracture, and then it was dragged by canvas and rope, and the mainmast hung like a big burden on the port side of the gunboat, covering the heads of the Turks.
Leaving them in confusion, the captain yelled for the sailors who were rolling all over the ground to quickly cut off the masts and cut the sail ropes, however, a cruiser of the Southeastern Army approached in the oblique stab and threw a barrage of bombs at them!
A series of explosions blew up and then detonated the powder kegs piled on top of the gun emplacement, and a large ball of intense fire burst from the middle of the gunboat, and quickly blaze, and the violent explosion blew the gunboat in two at once!
The power of the battleship's heavy artillery was fully revealed, and if the Turk ships were to be caught by them, it would be a catastrophe, like the "Southeast Asia-class" third-class battleships, armed with 30 32-pounder guns, 30 24-pounder guns, 16 9-pounder guns, and 76 guns!
The 32-pounder cannon fired, the 24-pounder cannon followed, and the scene of the shells falling on the enemy ship was as hellish as hell as it could not be imagined, and the gods of the Turks could not help it!
The sea was filled with fragments of the wreckage of the ship, and the Turks were defeated, shells hit their battleship and shattered it to pieces!
In the exchange of fire between the warships in the sail period, if the Chinese battleships faced the battleships of the same class as the Hongmaofan, the two sides would have to fight, and it was likely that they would fight for several hours without winning or losing, and they would not sink even if they were full of holes.
But the Turkish gunboats are really inferior, not only the firepower is not as good as the Chinese, but even worse is the fragile structure, under the bombardment of heavy artillery shells, they will disintegrate, so that the sea is full of broken hulls and a large number of Turks float and sink in the sea, the living and the dead are mixed together, and what is even more terrifying is that there are triangular fins on the sea, like torpedoes rushing towards those living and dead, all of them are waterlines.
Then the screams rang out, the sea turned red, and the sharks were eating!
It seems that the sharks of the whole sea are coming, the sea is jubilant, this is the celebration of sharks, sharks tear the human body, some people are fought for by two sharks, the person is not dead, the screams make the Chinese people can not see, a sailor said to his companions: "I don't eat shark fin anymore!" ”
As a result, his companion said, "This kind of shark fin is nutritious!" If you don't eat it, I'll eat it! ”
Chain bullets destroyed the mast of the enemy ship, solid shells destroyed the hull of the enemy ship, and in the bombardment of a series of shells, the enemy ships were hit one after another, and the fragile hull was completely powerless to resist, and the entire hull was continuously opened out of a fatal hole, and a large part of the bulwark collapsed...... The people on the boat had to jump into the sea to escape, and the sea was full of sharks! And the shotguns also showed terrible power, and the bullets that spewed out the Turks were blown to pieces, and the mutilated limbs were scattered everywhere.
The Turks were captured in many ways, had no fighting qualities, and even straightened up when they were on the enemy ships, and were swept down by shotguns like wheat, and some of them were blown up on the spot and fell into the sea, where there were sharks......
The officers and men of the Southeast Fleet also "enthusiastically" threw bombs on the Turkish warship, blowing the deck to pieces and burning the sails.
The Turks also had bombs, which were actually gunpowder canisters, but the Chinese were protected to the teeth, and their bombs had few successes.
Not only bombs, but also the power of the Turks' artillery and muskets were also defeated by the protective gear on the Chinese, and it was difficult to take human lives.
A spectacular scene of a battle at sea, the guns of the southeast ship roared fiercely, the bombs exploded, the flames were blazing, and the black smoke was like a dragon, and the Turkish warships tried to achieve the victory, but they were discouraged to find that even the other side's cruisers could not win!
Even if it is a cruiser, the artillery is constantly firing, the muskets are slamming, the bombs are littered when they see the enemy, and every battleship is as fierce as a fire hedgehog!
Their damage management units are quite outstanding, and the firefighters are average; they extinguish fire sources, fill holes, and repair artillery; the southeastern army is willing to spend money; they often do fire drills and damage management training in peacetime, sweat more in peacetime, and shed less blood in wartime, and have achieved satisfactory results.
At the initiative of the leader, they carried out extensive and in-depth research and development of the traditional Chinese medicine "Sanqi" that has the ability to treat internal and external bleeding, blood stasis, swelling and pain, and tried to produce a good gold sore medicine similar to "Yunnan Baiyao", and after cleaning and disinfecting the affected parts of the wounded, they sprinkled the gold sore medicine, which received very good curative effects, and many wounded soldiers survived.
From 2 o'clock in the afternoon to about 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the 200 Turki warships sank three-quarters, the remaining half were captured by the Southeastern Army, and the rest fled in embarrassment.
