Section 869 Battle of Linga Island (1)
Cheng Yu wears a helmet painted with three stars (indicating that he is a lieutenant general), a bulletproof vest, and the golden ribbon that best indicates his identity.
The officers of the Southeast Army no longer dressed fancy, but strengthened precautions to ensure the safety of officers.
He stood up his cane and watched coldly as the red-haired battleship approached, the lead ship of the other side was a battleship with a double gun deck, with 74 cannons against the 76 guns of the ship.
Advancing in unison, the respective warships behind them came one after another, all in a south-to-north direction.
The wind picked up and shook the hull.
Cheng Yu observed the wind and saw that although the gun doors of the opponent's lower gun deck were open, the gun muzzles pointed to the water in front of the ship, so that the enemy had to fight with the guns on the upper gun deck and the open deck.
All three deck guns can go to war, right now!
"Fire!" He ordered categorically.
As a senior general in the army, he has the right to open fire!
The "boom, boom, boom......, boom" artillery fired, and the ships behind followed suit.
Rush to shoot!
A few seconds later, a rumbling swarm of bullets flew over the sea between the two sides, and the sound of the projectiles tearing through the air flow was shocking. The dense bomb group covered the fleet of the red hairy fan.
The sea echoed with the rumbling of cannons, and Blake, the turnip, silently counted, his face cramping.
A little over a minute!
The artillery is back in action, and it's firing again!
The training of the Chinese is indeed excellent, and those who can reach the speed of artillery for one minute are first-class strong troops!
British warships advocated gaining the upper hand and leaving them to the ground to survive, so British naval captains usually strictly required junior officers and sailors to carefully train their combat skills in order to defeat the enemy in battle. For a long time, the combat effectiveness has been trained in this way, and the artillery speed is also one shell per minute.
In the same way, the Chinese, who learn from the good example of the British, have learned home, and they can fire three rounds of artillery in three minutes if they are given three minutes, and they can't stand it!
Turnip-headed Blake no longer hesitated and gave the order to fire back.
"Boom, boom!" For a while, the cannon roared, the hull of the ship emitted dazzling fire, and the cannonballs pierced the edges above and around each other's heads, and columns of water rose in front of and behind each ship.
The officers and men of the battleships that were hit let out screams, the shells cracked the bulwark, sawdust flew away, and chain bullets broke the cables, and some warships dropped their sails.
At about 10 o'clock in the morning, the two sides fired more and more fiercely, all the artillery was fired at the same time, the rumbling sound of the cannon was deafening, mixed with the crisp sound of muskets, and everyone did their best, and for a moment the bloody storm was murderous.
On the tall flagship "Maas River", a salvo of forty guns was fired from the starboard side.
The sound of the 36-pounder cannon slammed heavily into everyone's hearts, and the power of its cannonballs was so great that they slammed into the bulwark, blasting wood chips and blocks into the air.
However, the southeast ship was not to be outdone, and many shells fell five or six meters on the two sides of the "Maas River", stirring up a high column of water!
The Chinese shot very accurately, and the "Maas River" and one of the opponent's battleships bombarded each other, and the opponent's 76 guns actually hit no less than 50 shells of the "Maas River", and the Dutch commander Tromp shrank his head!
Shells roared, shrapnel flew sideways, and the "Maas River" was damaged in many places, from broken bulwarks to casualties and cut cables.
The other side found a good time to let the "Maas" gun recoil, and ate enough shells solidly.
"The yellow-skinned monkey of Special M is really accurate!" Tromp scolded smugly.
He didn't scold exactly, and it was the foreign general Siresma in the southeast province who was fighting with him, a Dutch fellow!
And there are at least ten naturalized red-haired people in the ships of Siresma, and the entire fleet of the southeastern province has more than a thousand naturalized Dutch, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and German (Holy Roman Empire)!
They sacrificed their lives to fight for the southeast mansion, and they did not have the slightest softness.
Yan Changwu in the southeast mansion is tolerant and large, paying attention to absorbing foreign population, and is known as the style of the Tang Dynasty!
In the Tang Dynasty, there were naturalized generals such as Insistence on Lost Sili, Ashina Sheer, Qibi He Li, Heiya Changzhi, Li Jinxing, Gao Xianzhi, Ge Shuhan, Li Guangbi, etc., who fought and protected the country for the Tang Dynasty and achieved a good reputation.
There were also Mr. Davy, Storm, Barents (shipbuilding specialists), Kostet, Siresma (admiral) and Lubbers (military doctor) who came to China to help the war foreigners, and these people shined.
Of course, for them are not not refused, such as foreigners are under the age of 20 qualified to receive at any time (depending on the physical condition or something), in addition to the qualifications of those over 20 years old, they are also required to be married, home in the southeast province, so that they have a family to care, they are not afraid of their backwater.
There are also at least tens of thousands of Chinese followers who have been naturalized in the southeast province, and there are various regulations for their requirements.
Siresma trained his men effectively, fired fast, liked to fire volleys, he opened fire when the ship was parallel to the enemy ship, the salvo shells were dumped on the enemy ship, the enemy ship was blown to pieces, the personnel screamed, and he had a strange pleasure hidden in the mask at this time!
"Beat, hit the labor and management hard, beat it hard!" He walked around the ship, shouting and cheering, boosting morale.
He happened to bump into the Dutch flagship, and first let it eat enough shells on the port side, and he showed his superb ship manoeuvring skills, and came to a 180-degree rotation, and the starboard shells were so powerful that the Dutch almost lost their temper.
Taking advantage of the Dutch's sluggishness, he walked away without giving the Dutch a chance to fight back.
People like him are really born to eat the navy's bowl of rice, not to mention him, the officers and men on the warships of the Southeast Army are fighting hard, and every salvo is fired accurately on the enemy ship, which makes the red-haired fans cry and cry for their mother!
There were 18 "Tainan-class" fifth-class cruisers (38 guns, 18 pounder/26 guns, 12 pounder/12 guns) in the battle line of the Southeast Army, and they only had one gun deck, but with their 18-pounder guns, they were still able to cause damage to the battleships.
However, the red-haired fans are hard stubble, especially the British guns are not bad, and they also blew the southeast ship into wood.
The two sides fought fiercely, the sea was filled with gunsmoke, and after more than three hours of fighting, not a single battleship sank.
This is also the charm of the ship fight during the sail period, everyone fights hard, you can fire the cannon for a long time, and the cannon is cool.
The battle line of the Southeast Fleet was about to end, and there was a long string of warships behind the Red Hair Fan, and the British shipwrecks at the front were bold and rushed straight to the southeast ships, trying to drive over from the north and outflank the Southeast Fleet.
"Dangdangdang ......" The sound of gold sounded on the Chinese flagship, and the wind direction did not change at this time, and the southeast ship immediately took advantage of the wind and broke away from the contact with the red-haired boat at high speed!
The red-haired fans didn't make any money, and all the southeastern ships retreated safely.
However, it was still early, and the red-haired fans were not resigned, and they continued to chase all the way.
