Before Wang Ruixiang, the leader of the jumping gang, could stand firmly, the deck under his feet shook strangely, and a fire erupted from the side of the ship. It didn't take much military experience for him to know that he had been ambushed.

"Retreat!" Li Di's exhausted roar came from the earphones, and in an instant, Yu No. 1 was already shrouded in smoke from the fire.

"All retreat!" He hurriedly commanded the jumping gang to retreat to the side of the ship, looking for an opportunity to jump back. From below deck there were already a number of pirates wielding daggers, swords, and scythes, who were outnumbered, and even had little advantage in weapons—the fire of five pistols could not suppress them in any way.

"Drop the No. 1 bomb!" He roared, and the team members, who had trained many times, immediately pulled out the No. 1 grenade from their chest pockets and threw it out.

The No. 1 bomb is a bamboo-shelled grenade developed by the mechanical department, which is filled with black fire yao and broken porcelain pieces, and its power is limited, but it is just right to use in the narrow space of the ship, and the explosion and screams after the grenade falls over are connected, and the crew on the deck, gun emplacement, and slipway on the Yu No. 1 also shoot with rifles and pistols, instantly suppressing the pirates who tried to rush up and jump into the gang. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Ruixiang quickly climbed back with someone. collapsed on the deck in less than a minute, but it seemed to have come to the ghost gate and turned around. Fishing No. 1 looks very scary at the moment, the steel plates are all pitted and pockmarked, and the glass facing the fishing boat is all broken or shattered.

"Reverse at full speed!"

Chen Haiyang saw one of the members of the Zuihou team climb onto the deck and gave the order, and the instantly increased thrust caused the bow of the boat to sink sharply, and the stern of the boat swelled with waves, and Yu No. 1 retreated sharply. The three fishing boats were already drowning in the white smoke of the fire, which flickered with firelight and the rumbling sound of cannons was heard.

The sound of dense projectiles hitting the ship's building was like hail hitting the roof of a car.

"Get out of the window and hide!" Chen Haiyang shouted into the microphone -- the fishing boat is not a gunboat, and there is no cover of armored shutters on the windows. At the same time, I tried to look out through the glass that had been stained. At this time, the sailboat opened fire again, this time the building was hit, and everyone was shaken, and a large stone made a hole in the steel plate, which shattered into several pieces and fell to the ground.

"It's fishing!" Li Di's face was pale, and his body had shrunk half under the bridge.

Chen Haiyang shook his head, he didn't care to speak, it seemed that the enemy knew very well the advantages of his ship - that is, speed and mobility, they set this trap, trying to hit them hard with a single fire at the closest distance, but obviously did not estimate the protective power of the steel ship itself.

At this time, the smoke on the sea dissipated a little, and the other two fishing boats were rowing under the eight oars, approaching Yu No. 1, and the speed was very fast, which was completely different from the fishing boats that were generally pushed by hard sails and single oars. The deck was crowded with murderous pirates, many with torches in their hands. Apparently it is preparing three boats to strike 1 round of fishing.

The Ballista on the fore and aft decks of Yu 1 opened fire at the same time, because the distance was very close, two shots and two hits, smoke rose from the deck and a small burst of fireworks burst out, causing a commotion, but it did not affect the advance of the enemy ship - the No. 2 bomb was a tear gas canister, in addition to a small amount of black fire yao for the explosion, there was also camphor powder and pepper, which was specially made for such a maritime patrol security mission, and had no lethality.

"Left full rudder, full speed." At this time, Yu No. 1 had already fallen out forty or fifty meters, Chen Haiyang did not know what the performance of the artillery on the enemy's ship was, for the sake of safety, he decided to first distance the ship to avoid being caught by the three ships, and then adopt a corresponding strategy after judging the situation.

The roar of the engine became louder, and Yu No. 1 went around the sea beautifully for half a circle, and easily broke away from the three boat clamps, at this time they were on the opposite side of the No. 1 ship, both sides could exert their maximum firepower, Chen Haiyang carefully kept the ship distance at 200 meters. According to the shiyan firing of various seized firearms by the industrial sector, the effective range of small and medium-sized artillery of this era rarely exceeded this distance.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Boom!" There was a continuous fire on the side of the No. 1 boat, and large and small splashes were set off on the sea, but the closest splash to Yu 1 was also 20 meters away. Now his faith was even stronger

He wasn't going to shoot with the Ballista, it was a bit slow to load, and it would take a minute for two men to swing the levers on either side of the row to re-open their arms.

"Port rifle free fire!"

The crews who had been in a state of rage for a long time immediately pulled the trigger as fast as possible - fishing on Lao Tzu's territory, it was against you! More than a dozen SKS-D rifles were loaded with 20 rounds of magazines, and the dense bullets swept from bow to stern like a torrential downpour, the human body, the ship's planks, sails, cables, ...... Everything on board was torn apart by the destruction of 7.62mm M43 shells, and by the time Chen Haiyang gave the order to stop shooting, No. 1 was completely paralyzed on the surface of the sea, emitting green smoke.

"Report the loss!"

"Three people were injured in the front main gun, and one was seriously injured, and there was no danger to life."

"One person in the rear main gun was slightly injured."

"Three people on deck were slightly injured."

The losses were not large, the bulletproof shields and steel plate gun profiles on the Ballista played a role in protecting the gunners, but to be honest, the artillery fire of the other side was really poor and pitiful, and the projectiles scattered on the deck were everything: iron sheets, iron nails, stones, porcelain pieces......

"Notify the Admiralty and send a ship to clear Ship 1!" Since the wounded were fine, Chen Haiyang ordered to continue the pursuit of the remaining two enemy ships.

When the other two boats found that Yu 1 had broken away from the encirclement set up at high speed, they had already turned their rudders and began to flee to the open sea with the wind, not only using their oars together, but also pulling up the sails at the fastest speed.

But the sails and manpower could not outrun the liliang of the machine no matter what, the diesel engine roared, and the Yu No. 1 chopped the waves, quickly narrowing the distance to 200 meters. In desperation, the enemy fired tail guns indiscriminately, and they all landed at a great distance from Yu No. 1.

"Sink Yoshino!" Li Di danced and shouted on the bridge.

Of course, no one will pay attention to his passion, Yu 1 is a fishing ship after all, and there is no underwater angle of attack or anything like that, so he can't do this high-risk action.

Fish 1 fires incendiary weapon tar bombs from Ballista. A stone ball is used as the inner core, and the outside is thickly coated with a paste mixed with straw and wood tar, and the outside is wrapped in a straw bag. When ignited, it leaves a black trail of ballistic smoke in the sky, which can be easily corrected.

The slipway constantly reported the wind direction, wind speed, distance between the two ships, and sailing speed, and the gunner used a function counter to calculate desperately, and then reported the angle of the Ballista's shot, but the inaccurate ballistic calculation showed its great value, and after six shots, the seventh correction hit the fleeing enemy ship No. 2, and the sail was on fire.

The ship slowed down, the two ships got closer and closer, the tar bombs became more and more accurate, and even the Ballista on the back deck used a large elevation angle to shoot beyond it, and for a time the sea was spectacular, and the black smoke of the trajectory weaved a net in the sky, and at the bottom of the net was the No. 2 enemy ship that was constantly hit by the tar bombs, and the fire burned more and more, zuihou, probably the fire Yao exploded, and the ship was torn to pieces in the roar.

"Shout to ship No. 3 and tell them to drop sail and surrender."

"Understood!" Li Di immediately changed the tape. Anyway, the words of persuasion are the same: lay down your arms and raise the white flag.

But Boat No. 3 was clearly not ready to fall into their hands, and taking advantage of the opportunity for them to pack up Boats No. 1 and No. 2, Boat No. 3 had already escaped almost 1 kilometer. From the 8x binoculars, I saw that a pair of oars had been added to the stern of their boat, and some people were frantically throwing all kinds of debris out of the side of the ship.

"Destroy them!"

It's a shame that we didn't catch the captives, but it's important to end the battle safely.

Yu 1 increased its horsepower again to 200 meters, turned the rudder and turned the side to the fleeing No. 3 boat, so that the front and rear Ballistas could exert their maximum power.

Ten minutes later, the No. 3 ship formed a huge torch, presumably because the fire had been lost, and the ship did not explode. Through the binoculars, desperate pirates can be seen jumping into the sea to escape.

"Salvage prisoners."

Fifteen captives were taken out of the sea, and those who were wounded and had no strength to climb onto the side of the ship were left to fend for themselves, and those who tried to swim ashore were shot in the head by their rifles - there was no mercy for the enemy.

The first naval battle of Lingao Kok, which is said to have broken out without the preparation of the crossing navy, lasted nearly an hour. The sophistication and cunning of the enemy were at a glance in battle, and the preparation for battle could also be said to be adequate, and the crossing navy, despite the haste into battle, achieved a complete victory with good haode training and a huge jishu advantage.

Only three people were found alive on the enemy ship No. 1 that was towed back to port by Yu 2, many of whom hid below deck, thinking that the thick planks would protect them, but all of them were killed by indiscriminate bullets or died of blood loss. According to those who disembarked and inspected, blood flowed from the second deck to the bottom of the ship.

The photo of the ship type was quickly replied to by the firing group, it was a so-called "brig clipper" common in the coastal area of Guangdong in the Ming Dynasty, which belonged to a type of Guangzhou ship, used for fishing and coastal freight, because it was well-made and suitable for navigation on the high seas, and was a very familiar ship to Europeans in East and Southeast Asia at that time. After measurement, the total length of the whole ship is 27.5 meters, the waterline is 21 meters long, and the spacing between the bulwarks on both sides is 6 meters. Obviously, this size is perfect for whatever you do, and the same is true for it as a pirate ship.
