Section 267 First Battle of Batavia (2)

"The cannon is in place! Gunslinger ready! A long voice shouted.

The gunners on the open deck and gun deck guarded their cannons, and the non-commissioned officers on the gun deck and on the open deck lit torches for each gun position (fireworks are controlled in wooden warships, and torches can only be lit before the start of the war, and special safety non-commissioned officers come to check them in peacetime), while the gunners on the deck rely on the bulwarks as supporters to prepare their guns and look out.

The selected sharpshooters are prepared under the mast, and they do not go up to the mast on the mast to take place at the beginning, which is a big goal, and it is the focus of attention when the war starts.

When the fight reaches a certain level, everyone is dizzy, and the sharpshooter will go up to the high ground to fight the officer, and everyone does this!

As the distance got closer, Governor Speke stared at the distance and shouted, "Wait! ”

And Yan Changwu shouted: "Ready! ”

Another flag was raised,

The pilot ships of the two sides were about to meet, Xiao Changrong looked at the enemy ship that came into view, patted the shoulder of Xinding with his hand and said, "Are you afraid?" ”

"I'm afraid, but you're with us! Don't be afraid! ”

"If you're afraid, huddle in the bulwark and shoot well,"

"Yes, sir!"

The two ships have met!

Drove over, and neither commander gave the order to open fire, this is really a mystery of M!

It was a difficult moment, all the sailors shrunk up, only the officers were still walking around the ship, in fact, they were also afraid, but there was no way, at this time, fight hard and resign themselves to fate!

Until Yan Changwu roared: "Fire!" ”

The gun commander lights the fuse, the cannon fires, and the cannon booms!

The metal projectile hit the Dutch ship so hard that the big ship stumbled!

The shells were dislodged and barely missed, and the people on the hit Dutch boat were busy dodging.

Seeing that the other party had opened fire, Governor Speke still said, "Wait! From time to time, his gaze swept over the fluttering streamers on the mast, which flew in a straight line with the mast.

The officer of the Southeastern Army over there shouted, "Come again!" ”

"Cannon loading!"

Everyone worked enthusiastically, and in the nick of time, Governor Speke found the moment when the streamer was vertical, and ordered: "Fire!" ”

Boom Boom Boom ......

Xiao Changrong was surprised to see that the bulwark where the Xinding he had just talked to was was eating a shot, the sawdust flew sideways, and the Xinding flew heavily and fell three meters away, motionless!

He shook his head and ignored it, and had his own paramedics to come to the rescue.

Governor Speke chose a good moment to open fire, when the wind was a little lighter and everyone was shot in the hull.

Both sides are fully refuted!

"Hurry, hurry!" The officer shouted hoarsely.

"Reload! Load the projectile! The gunner urged the loaders.

"If you're not happy, everyone's butts will be gone (blown off)!" Someone's there.

……

The battle was in full swing, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the artillery constantly recoiled and fired with a bang.

The sawdust that fell on the opponent's ship was blown up all over the sky, and the air waves made people feel the strong wind blowing in their faces!

The projectile fell into the water, and the splashed sea water splashed on the person, adding to the atmosphere of panic.

The Dutch were in a disadvantageous downwind, but they were not afraid at all, and raised their guns to the butt to fight, and the artillery hit the earth with a loud bang.

The two sides shoot at each other, and the impact on each other's nerves is great.

"The Dutch fought hard! The timing of the cannon was very right! "The Southeastern Army expressed its admiration.

"Didn't those Ming people say that they would only take hoes and brick knives, how could they fire so fast, a little faster than us!" The Dutch were amazed.

In the two major battles, Nanhai No. 2 and Dolphin were approaching, and the commanders of both sides looked at each other, so they did not fire their guns, and they were waiting for the two ships (ships) to be parallel.

"What's that?" Mr. Basten looked at the tall black warrior opposite, looked again with his binoculars, and said in surprise: "How do I think he is very familiar!" ”

"It's Basten's bastard, he still owes me three hundred guilders and hasn't paid it back! Don't kill him, I want him back, if he doesn't pay back, I'll let him go to the sand field to be a slave! The Black Warrior Siresma said angrily.

The officers and soldiers on the ship were speechless, is this considered an owe or uncle? There is actually a gold medal for avoiding death?

Finally, two battleships are parallel, and now is it!

Coincidentally, the commanders gave the order together, and a terrible metal storm poured on the hull of the opposing ship!

Take it all!

The projectile was full of momentum, and both ships seemed to be struck by a sudden strong wind, but the hull of Nanhai No. 2 shook and continued to move forward as if nothing had happened, while the Dolphin was yawed and was blown away from the battle line.

"Oh, what the hell! If only I had a ship this big! "Monsieur Basten, who had not been damaged in the battle just now, shouted for the sailors to quickly regroup and return to the battle line.

As for the Black Warrior Siresma, he frowned and saw one of the guards fall in front of him!

The wounded soldier was shot in the abdomen, and several paramedics rushed up to stop the bleeding and carry him out of the cabin.

Obviously, the opponent was aiming at the Black Knight, and the guards blocked the gun for him.

The escort had just fallen, followed by his three brothers, who were knocked down by shells fired by the Dutch-owned 54-gun Poseidon!

The Dutch lined up the heavy firepower battleships continuously, that is, the multi-artillery battleships one after another, so as to make the opponent deeply hit and improve the quality of the attack.

The so-called heroes see the same thing, Yan Changwu is also arranged in this way, the South China Sea No. 2 is followed by the Southeast and Taiwan, both with heavy firepower 24-pounder guns, as a result, the Governor Speke on the flagship Drenthe was beaten and shrunk behind the mast, and the officers and soldiers around him were swept down a large area, and Moore, the high-ranking official who said that he would teach the Ming people a good lesson, fell in a pool of blood, with a big blood hole in his chest!

Governor Cohen roared, "Damn Basten! ”

He heard the sound of shelling from the opposite side, it was all too familiar, it was a Dutch-made 24-pounder gun!

The heavy artillery sold to the Ming by the four major European maritime powers (Anglo-Spanish, Dutch, and Portuguese) became a sharp weapon against the Europeans, making a certain big young man who always boasted that his guy was thicker, bigger, and harder than others......

There is an advantage to following the battle line, that is, to reduce the amount of brains, the captain of the Taiwan battleship (he was originally the commander of the Southeast, and he was transferred to the Taiwan) Yan Donglai has just been promoted to the captain of the capital ship, he used to be the deputy captain of the capital ship, full-time gunner, simply asked the deputy captain to go to the deck to command, he ran to the gun deck to supervise the gun.

In his roar, unceremoniously scolded, the gunners opened fire desperately, and the shells rushed at each other like a storm of flames, causing the Dutch to cry bitterly.

Suddenly, the Dutch fired a cannon and hit the lower gun deck, igniting many places, and the back of Yan Donglai's shirt was also lit.

But he didn't know that he was already in a state of euphoria, and there were enemy ships in sight, and he wanted everyone to shoot their guns vigorously.

A soldier took a damp cloth and put it on his back to extinguish the fire.

The fire was extinguished, and instead of a reward, the soldier got a kick that Yan Donglai flew up and kicked the soldier down: "Get back to your battle position!" ”

Find the area of the soldier's psychological shadow......
