Chapter 1193 Cannonball Pierced in Ass (Ask for Subscription)
It's going to be fine!
Definitely can't be pierced!
Trop and Dave. Jones heard the sound of the cannonball hitting the ship's board, and both of their hearts twitched, but reason immediately told them that the sturdy Sealand Province would be able to withstand it!
If Chinese bombarded the vital point of the Sealand with a shell of about 30 pounds, the two of them would not be sure, but 18 pounds...... There will be no problem, unless God is on the side of the Chinese today - in naval battles, the element of luck is still very important! If the Chinese are lucky enough, the shells may fly directly into the gun compartment!
However, if the two of them can climb outside the butt of the Sealand Provincial Council now, they will definitely not be so calm, because the stern of this poor battleship, on the outside of the No. 7 gun compartment, actually has a 15-pound flowering bomb!
The shells are all stuck in the ass, if this battleship could speak, it must be crying out in pain now!
"Boom!"
There was a loud bang, and the entire battleship trembled a few times, but it was not the butt of the Sealand that blew up, but the first shot fired from the No. 1 gun compartment of the Sealand, and a 40-pound wooden shell whistled through the air and flew towards the Wuhan Mansion more than a thousand yards away.
The cannonball did not fly very fast, so much so that a small black dot could be caught with the naked eye and flew out at great speed. Jones hurriedly followed with his gaze, and before they could see the cannonball fall into the water (and also crooked), the battleship under his feet suddenly shook violently, and then roared again!
What's going on?
The two Dutch naval officers were a little dazed by the sudden vibration and roar, what was going on? Why is it so loud? It's not the sound of a cannon, could it be a bomb?
In fact, it's not a bore up, it's a butt fried!
The fuse of the 15-pound flowering shell nailed to the butt of the Sealand had just burned out, igniting the black powder that was filled inside the shell. Although the power of black powder deflagration is not comparable to that of explosives, the power produced by the deflagration of black powder that has been refined quite well in five or six catties is not something that oak planks can resist. Under the action of the huge impact, the oak planks with a thickness of more than one foot shattered on the spot, turned into countless small pieces of wood, and whizzed through the narrow gun cabin, and the soldiers of the two artillery squads in the gun cabin had no place to hide, and they beat these flying wooden blocks alive to the flesh and blood, and they didn't even have time to scream, and they were killed on the spot!
But this was only the beginning of the Sealand disaster, and there were even more terrible explosions to follow!
Because when the flowering shell nailed to the butt of the Sealand exploded, a 40-pounder gun in the No. 7 gun compartment had just finished loading, and there was no time to fire the cannon. Now all fourteen artillery in gun compartment No. 7 (although there were two guns, only one gun squad was in place, a total of 14 people) had all been killed, and no one could light the cannon. One could only wait for the 40-pound shell to explode in the chamber......
This is a big explosion that can kill half of the Sealand Province! Shortly after the Starboard 40-pounder guns in the Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 gun compartments of the Sealand Province had been fired, a terrible explosion occurred again in the stern of the Sealand Provincial Council.
This explosion is not at all the same level as the last explosion, 40-pound flowering bomb! The force of the explosion turned the barrel of the 40-pounder gun wrapped around it into a bomb casing, and the whole thing was blown to pieces.
Under the coercion of the blast wave, the fragments of the 40-pounder gun slammed into the oak baffles on both sides, and the oak baffles could not bear it, and they were immediately knocked out of a large hole, and the broken wooden blocks once again became a killing weapon, rolling through the No. 6 gun compartment next door, killing and wounding more than half of the fourteen gunners inside - although the power of the explosion of the 40-pounder shell was powerful, it was not blown up against the oak plank, so it did not form a gathering effect, Therefore, the killing and wounding of the personnel in the No. 6 gun compartment is not as powerful as the 15-kilogram shell.
But the 40-pound shell was so damaging to the hull of the Sealand Province that it not only completely destroyed the No. 6 gun compartment, but also blew a large hole in the floor of the No. 7 gun bay and pierced the baffle on the other side of the No. 7 gun cell. Underneath Gun Compartment No. 7 is Ammunition Compartment No. 7, which is piled up with 40-pound flowering shells and gunpowder packets!
Fortunately, the Dutch also learned the "water bottle fire extinguishing method" of the Ming Navy, and before the start of the naval battle, they put the flowering bomb and the gunpowder bag together with the porcelain bottle filled with seawater and stuffed with the mouth of the bottle, so the explosion of the 40-pound flowering bomb shattered many porcelain bottles, and the flowing seawater wet the flowering bomb and gunpowder, and avoided a catastrophic explosion in time.
On the other side of gun compartment No. 7 was the officer's galley, where dinner was being prepared, and the fire was lit by the stove, and when the oak wall was blown through, several cooks died immediately, and the rest did not cook, and ran away with their heads in their hands, and did not extinguish the stove, so the fire started from this small officer's galley......
On the stern deck of the Sealand, too, there was chaos at this time, and the violent explosions and tremors from under their feet tossed everyone to the ground.
Trop and Dave. Jones and the two of them were also a little confused, what the hell is going on? Why did it blow up all at once? Was there an accident, or was it someone who had an 18-pound shell through the gun bay? Which shipyard built this boat? You won't cut corners, will you?
Because of the flowering bombs on the ship, the current bombardment gunboats have a command platform fenced with sandbags, the command platform of the Dutch battleship is in the stern, and the command platform of the Ming Dynasty naval warship is in the bow.
Holding the sandbag on the podium, Davy. Jones got up first, he looked around, the battleship was still sailing, there was no sign of a bullet on the upper deck, but there was smoke coming out of the right side of the ship, if nothing else, it should be a gun bay that was scrapped!
"Damn...... Let's go see what's going on? He yelled at a panicked young officer who had just risen, "Go to gun bay 7!" ”
"Yes, Colonel!"
The man crawled away, David. At this time, Jones saw that Tropp was being helped up, and he was still holding his waist with one hand, and he didn't know if it was broken?
"David, what the hell is going on?" Trop sees Davy. Jones roared - how do you teach students! You look at your students...... Pierced such a thick gun bay with an 18-pounder gun!
"I, I'm ......" David. Jones also looked innocent, and he didn't know what was going on? Bad luck, right? Maybe it really hit the gun window of gun room No. 7?
At this moment, another roar of a flowering bomb explosion came, but it was not the Sealand Province that exploded, but a 500-ton battleship behind the Sealand Province exploded.
"Again, another ......" David. Jones's face turned blue.
Once is luck, twice it must be inevitable, and you can still hit the window? What luck did the gunner have! How can you still be a gunner with such good luck?
There must be some new ammunition on the Ming side that can specialize in the thick planks of battleships......
"Major General," Davy. Jones's voice trembled a little, "I think we underestimated our opponents!" They must ......"
"Hula! Hula ......."
David. Before Jones could utter his words, the sailors on the deck of the Sealand Provincial Council cheered. It turned out that the Dutch fleet had come to work, and a 30-pound wooden shell hit the tall stern of the Flying Flight, causing a massive explosion inside. The stern of a Western-style battleship is usually the cabin of officers and sailors, which does not matter, if a few solid bullets or even a hot arson bomb are not important, but a 30-pound flowering bomb is powerful, and it blows up the butt of the Feixiang in one fell swoop, and ignites something with his hands. The Flying soon came up with a butt smoke and ended up with the Sealand Provincial Council.
"Major General, we ......" Davy. Jones withdrew his gaze and tried to persuade Tropp to withdraw his troops, but saw the rear admiral waving at him.
"Colonel, it's three to one now, and we have an absolute advantage!" "And we have to show the ability and determination to take the loss...... Although the Chinese have the financial resources of a huge population, the Netherlands has the largest number of merchant ships and sailors in the world! ”
