Section 348 Tiger Leap Battle--The Battle of the Sea VII
Zheng Zhaoji knew that the so-called "piercing attack" was a killer move devised by Luo Gang, an instructor at the Naval Academy, based on the characteristics of the Galewind. That is, the small fleet passes through the enemy at a very close range, and the avant-garde ships attract the enemy's guns, and the four ships behind them attack the enemy ships at a very close range, so as to be sure to sink the enemy ships with one blow. The requirements for fleet commanders here are "decisive and courageous", because the military discipline of the Shenzhou Army stipulates that when attacking, the flagship must carry forward the spirit of vanguard, so when piercing, the vanguard ship is often the flagship of the detachment, and it is almost inevitable to be hit.
The sound of the siren sounded again throughout the ship, and the sound of the last hatch closing was heard everywhere, except for the escape hatch (this is a hatch specially designed to prevent the pressure from sealing the hatch when the ship sinks.) Even the lookout post on the roof of the cabin was removed from the deck, and the whole deck was empty, and not a single person would be left there. The cannons were also retracted into the hull, the protective doors were closed, and all the crew members tried to hide in the protected area with multiple layers of armor.
It was only then that the red-haired Rhona recovered from the shelling she had just received, and she was surrounded by wounded gunners and crew members who were busy rescuing them. She gasped and glanced up the deck, only to see that the attack alone had destroyed most of the sails, but that a large area of burning sails had even blocked the entrance to the lower deck. Smoke rose on the once-neat deck, and those spherical shells rolled around on the deck with the undulations of the waves. The only consolation was that the Queen, with more than 800 crews, was coming out of all the hatches to extinguish the fire and repair the sails, and the gunners were also rushing to the gun positions.
Suddenly, Lorna misses her father very much, because she has never seen such a tragic scene. A kind of fear, a very strong sense of fear rose from the bottom of my heart. Not only are the swift boats extremely fast, but even their attacks are deadly. As she ran to the stern, she turned her head, and then she noticed an even more magnificent scene.
Five small boats, at a rapid pace, approached the flank of the "Queen" and kept moving within range of the artillery fire.
The cannons on the side of the "Queen" began to roar, and the conscientious force of about fifty guns fired in a row made Rhona feel the huge ship swaying violently laterally. Fifty shells of all kinds, mostly aimed at enemy vanguard ships that entered their field of vision, chain shells would break sail lines and sails, spherical shells could destroy the hull, especially the destructive power of the shells of the 32-pound guns was even more terrifying, as for the scattered shells, it was purely a joke, that thing was of little use against the composite equipment of Gale-class frigates.
"Click...... This is the sound of a chain bullet wrapping around the cable and breaking the mast, and the sound of raindrops passing by like a rainstorm is a less worrying sound. "Knock...... The warship that was hit trembled as it slammed into ......, which was the enemy's spherical destructive projectile. Fortunately, the outer surface of the warship of the Shenzhou Army is all 65O inclined planes with the highest probability of ricocheting, otherwise it would be bearable to be hit by a heavy shell.
Rhona was pleased to see the sails of the boat in front of her with protective colors painted on three sides fall, and the not-so-tall mast was also pulled off and pulled into the air and fell into the sea. But once again, the fear happened.
At a distance of 100 meters, 20 60-mm guns and 4 30-barreled 100-mm rocket launchers were bombarded, and I am afraid that it can only be described as terrifying, and large and small shells roared down on the giant ship "Queen". This time, the "Queen" was not so lucky, because the distance was too close, 80 of the 120 100-mm rockets smashed solidly on the battleship, and 38 of the 40 shells fired by the 60-mm guns in two shots hit 38. Fortunately, this time the bombardment was mainly aimed at destroying the enemy ship's artillery, so most of the shells were fired at the side of the sailboat. The 60 mm gun is the one that kills the ship's crew.
In just an instant, the baptism of artillery fire completely paralyzed the "Queen", and all the masts were broken, leaving only a piece of stake-like things and a tangled mess. Most seriously, the pressure of the seawater caused by the 100-mm shell that exploded at the waterline of the ship severely damaged the waterline of the "Queen" and began to leak profusely.
"Big brother, the Barracuda class is ready for you, and the crew is also ready, you can go to another ship." A total of 15 people were killed and 30 wounded on the escort ship of the "Eagle", so Huang Kehui prepared the Barracuda class as a lifeboat, and at the same time, for the smooth progress of the battle, Zheng Zhaoji was asked to transfer to other warships.
Zheng Zhaoji glanced at the mess on the ship's surface, and then looked at the crew to transfer the sacrificed and wounded comrades to the Barracuda-class, and the progress was quite smooth. Looking back at the enemy giant ship that had fallen silent, he nodded and said, "Then be careful yourself, I'll go." As he spoke, he led a few staff officers into the Barracuda class.
Seeing that someone here will definitely say that I am talking nonsense, the 20-meter Gale-class frigate is so small, where is the lifeboat, haha tell everyone to put it on the bottom of the ship, like a fish attached to the bottom of the middle of the two torpedo-type sealed cabins, usually not wet.
Huang Kehui began to inquire about the operation of his "Eagle" frigate.
As the first mate, this matter was naturally reported by Sun Mingyang. "Sir" our ship was hit by about 15 shells, most of which became ricochet, causing no damage, only one 32-pounder shell hit the middle of our ship, piercing the armor plate and causing casualties, destroying one of our ship's 60-mm guns, the sail power system was completely damaged, there was no possibility of repair, the manpower drive part was damaged, and now personnel are being organized to repair it, and there is no other damage. “
After listening to Sun Mingyang's report, Huang Kehui was quite satisfied, the sail power system is not a headwind, but this and that! There has not been a single naval battle when this game has not gone wrong. "What the fuck" Huang Kehui spat at those broken sails, "Tell them to repair it quickly, and then send the rifles to the crew......" Huang Kehui turned his head and moved his jaw to the battleship that was beaten over there and couldn't fight back, "See, they have no power to fight back, maybe the power system is repaired and we can catch some prisoners." ”
