Chapter 520: Battle of the Gulf of Benga

After talking with several executives for a while, Zhu Yin reluctantly walked out of the door.

"Hey! Hanwen Group! Take care of yourself in the future! "I can finally go home, and Zhu Yin doesn't want to pay attention to the development of the group in the future!

My brother-in-law is right, now that the book and literature industry has exploded, there is no need for her to arrange it again! Let it be, but it is more suitable for the market of the empire!

In the early summer, the 03rd Army and the Nanfu soldiers also came to the Benga Gulf on the cotton-Indian border.

Similarly, the South Sea Fleet and the Royal Navy fleet have rushed to the bay.

The countries of Western Europe are now also the strongest in Spain, France and Britain, and most of the colonies of the Indo-Cilu are also the land of the three countries.

The navy of several countries in Western Europe has a total of 70,000 people, including 10 first-class ironclad ships and more than 200 second-class ironclad ships, and 50 frigates have been launched in Western Europe in recent years. Together with hundreds of armed seagoing ships, the Allied fleet was several times larger than the Imperial fleet.

Now the Imperial Navy has eliminated ironclad ships and sail gunboats.

The South Sea Fleet has a total of 60 frigates with a displacement of more than 2,000 tons, and 10 cruisers with a displacement of more than 6,000 tons. There were also a hundred torpedo gunboats with a displacement of more than 600 tons, which was also the lightest battleship in the Imperial Navy.

The Royal Navy now has 50,000 men, but the southbound detachment is equipped with 60 small gunboats and 30 frigates, and there are enough 6 cruisers, and there is one that Xu Keding envies: battleships with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons.

Shortly after the battleship was launched, this time the battleship did not participate in the battle but searched for navigation around.

"This barrel is so big! Brother-in-law! "There is only a giant cannon in existence, and Zhu Yin didn't expect to see it so soon.

Heavy ships and giant guns are a man's romance, and Chen Xiong, a battleship nearly two hundred meters long, is also very satisfied.

"This is a 320 forty-five times barreled naval gun, with a maximum range of nearly twenty kilometers, which is also the largest caliber practical heavy artillery in the empire." Saying that, Chen Xiong still wanted to be dissatisfied! During World War II, the devil's giant cannon exceeded 460 calibers, and even those 800 mm giant cannons were made by Germany, the United States and the Soviet Union.

Due to the hull structure, the battleship had only two batteries, that is, four main guns, but the 230 mm secondary batteries had four, a total of eight secondary guns. There were also 10 105-mm double-barreled naval guns, and 30 45-mm machine guns.

This battleship, which had no dead ends to hit with artillery, has now become the temporary residence of the emperor. There were not many sailors on the ship, and the rest of the place was Zhan Pengwei's alternate resting place.

This time, Chen Xiong only brought three hundred Zhan Pengwei with him, and there were only thirty King Kong guards by his side.

"Let Xu Keding them begin!" Chen Xiong also said that there were nearly 100,000 sailors at sea, and at this time, they were only waiting for the emperor's order.

The heavenly warriors waved their offensive flags, and the slow fleet began to speed up.

"Okay, they're finally here!" The commander of the Columbian family's Columbian Allied fleet said with a light smile.

Although the Han people had more steel ships, the Allied gunboats and even their artillery were all new-style artillery.

"Good! After this time, see if the Han people dare to go south! Nasven, the deputy marshal of Fa Lancy, also said happily. The only new ship with a displacement of 6,000 tons under their feet, it was also the most advanced warship newly made in France.

"Let's get started!"

At the moment of the order, the huge Allied fleet was immediately divided into three fleets, of which the middle fleet was full of frigates.

In order to consume the artillery fire of the Han Chinese, the first of the Allied forces was armed merchant ships.

"Hey, I hope I can win!" The Governor of Nebnai on land also watched eagerly as the fleet slowly faded away.

The wireless telegraph machine is very mature, but it is too large and has a short travel distance, so it can only be installed on the ships of the fleet.

Sitting on Zhan Peng, he picked up the microphone connected to the cruiser and said, "Let the small gunboat destroy the garbage that gets in the way first." ”

Densely packed sea ships, not to mention those weapons, just being placed on the sea is very in the way.

The gunboat of more than 600 tons is mainly armed with four torpedo ports and two double-barreled batteries of 105 mm caliber, and the secondary armament is six 45 caliber machine guns.

In the face of such a big battle, the 10,000 naval divisions and 100 ironclad ships and gunboats of the Goryeo Kingdom could only be behind the Nanyang Fleet.

"Hey! The strength of Western Europe is really terrible! Governor Jin was also glad that their Jin family did not rush to Africa to open a colony.

The gunboats that split the waves also reached a speed of more than twenty knots, compared to the sailing gunboats of ten knots, as if only the gunboats of the Empire were moving.

"Aim and prepare." At a distance of five kilometers, the Allied gunboats also began to get busy.

Boom ~ When it was close to three kilometers, the naval guns of the two armies also began to fire at each other.

Hundreds of torpedoes are also whirling and swimming in the water.

A lower round of shelling, the losses of both sides are not large, after all, it is not easy to aim at sea.

"Huh! There are still fish in the water! Wiping the sea water from his face, a major also noticed flying fish on the sea.

The torpedo was getting faster and faster, and at a distance of two hundred meters, the Allies felt that they should not be fish.

"Aim and fire."

I can't figure out what is fast, and the Allied sailors are not easy to pay attention to.

Boom ~ Boom ~ Another round of intensive bombardment, and the distance is getting closer and closer, and both sides are starting to be damaged. However, comparatively speaking, the Allied sail ships suffered more losses.

"Quick, accurate, the rest of the people put out the fire." Before it started, suddenly the galleon shook.

Boom ~ Boom ~ The firelight carried the sea water, and the sea ship of nearly 100 meters jumped up from the sea.

"Ah no~" The big sea ship suddenly folded in half and turned into two sections, and the sailors who fell into the sea one by one also shouted.

It's a pity that the sea is merciless, and there is no one to save at this time.

"Damn! Fire! Dozens of sailing ships were scrapped in an instant, and the rear admiral shouted even more angrily.

Boom Boom Boom ~ After a few rounds of boom, the distance also came to one kilometer.

Of the Empire's nearly 100-odd gunboats, only 100 remained, and the Allied galleons had only 100 left.

The sea was full of fires, and the results of this first round of encounters were easily visible.

"Haha, it's our turn!" The machine gunners were the most excited, and the strongest range of the machine guns within two kilometers was about one kilometer.

Boom Boom Boom ~ As soon as the machine gun was activated, shells that were fired almost every second were immediately fired continuously.

Boom ~ Boom ~ Like a swarm of hornets, the flames of the explosion immediately swallowed the galleon.

"Oh no!" The anguished British sailors immediately threw themselves into the sea with a body of fire.

In the face of a close-range attack from machine guns and torpedoes, it took only two minutes, and the remaining Allied forces were no longer able to counterattack.

The destruction of hundreds of sailing gunboats could not affect the huge size of the Allied forces, and hundreds of first-class and second-class ironclad ships also immediately opened fire.

Boom ~ Boom ~

The sailors of the Imperial gunboat, who just wanted to celebrate, were also awakened by the explosion next to them.

"Shoot back, release the torpedo and retreat!" The commander-in-chief of the gunboat, too, began to give orders.

The gunboats, which had suffered heavy losses, could not compete with the ironclads at all.

"Let the main guns return fire." Although it was ten miles away, Xu Keding could not let the ironclad ship bombard the small gunboat.
