***************************************************************************

Above the river, Huang Kehui carefully led the Huofeng-class cruiser after the first salvo to sail westward, while the gun doors on the warship were closed, and they were changing the direction of the main guns. This time, the target was the artillery of the Qing army on the side of the elephant mountain.

The shells fired there were falling scattered on the surface of the river, and it was reassuring that they had more lead bullets fired by the Franc machine, which would not do any effective damage to the Huofeng-class transoceanic ships.

About a thousand meters behind the Huofeng-class is the Shenzhou Army's "Whale-class amphibious assault ships", and their steam engines make them slowly move up the river. It's not that the speed can't be reached, they are waiting for the Fire Phoenix class to send a signal that they can land safely.

Chen Jin was hidden in the artillery fort above Elephant Mountain, and he actually used binoculars. Just as Bolo was typing the Suzhou code, he made a special trip to Suzhou City and asked for a large number of new weapons, including these binoculars.

At this moment, looking at the battleship on the river, he exclaimed in his heart: "Whose head is it, it's really amazing to come up with such a thing...... Bashan! Bashan, don't use your cannons to attack these warships, it's useless, if you want to hit you, you can hit the big ships behind, those are their troop transporters! ”

However, Bashan did not seem to hear his prayers, and he had already commanded his red-coated cannon to turn the muzzle of the gun, and the target was the low hull of the "Huofeng-class cruisers" that were slowly moving up along the river.

"Pass my order, all firearms are available, and bombard the enemy warships together......"

After a salvo of the fleet, the Jiangxinzhou battery of the Qing army, which had been in a state of suspended animation, was suddenly revived, and only ten red-coated cannons were left hidden in the fort, firing at the same time.

In the "boom ......" series of artillery fire, all of them were "armor-piercing shells" because of the close distance, so the Qing army's red-coated artillery shot was quite accurate and powerful.

Fortunately, the sloping shape of the "ghost ship", due to the close firing, those pointed shells slid over the armor plate, but there were still as many as five armor-piercing shells that completely penetrated the side armor of the "Fire Phoenix-class cruiser".

Even some shells flew to the location of the gas generator and engine, fortunately, when the "Huofeng-class cruiser" was built, this was taken into account, and these machines and equipment were installed in the "power cabin" made of full armor, and even the charge armor-piercing shells used by the state army themselves could not penetrate it, and its solidity can be imagined.

"The enemy's Jiangxinzhou battery was resurrected, and a total of ten armor-piercing shells were fired at our warship, our ship suffered 27 casualties, and one 100-mm gun was damaged. Other ships were not attacked. ”

Huang Kehui's face turned red as if he was drunk, and this was the third time that the battleship had been damaged since he commanded the Huofeng-class cruiser. Although there are always such and such unexpected things happening every time, it is enough to make his heart feel angry.

"Ordered 100 mm steel rain to fire armor-piercing shells to cover the enemy's artillery base, and 60 mm fast guns to suppress them uninterruptedly, and at the same time asked the staff officers for instructions that if the marines behind them send troops to land, they must level the batteries on Jiangxinzhou to me. Another 150-mm darts and rocket artillery launched an attack on the enemy artillery positions on Elephant Hill. ”

With Huang Kehui's order, all the guns on the cruiser, as if crazy, launched an attack on the batteries on Jiangxinzhou and Xiangshan.

This time it is not only the covering shooting of 150 mm darts and 100 mm steel rain, the 100 mm steel rain uses anti-personnel armor-piercing shells, which can not only penetrate the protective layer, but also make the shells enter the enemy fortress and explode, and use shrapnel to effectively kill personnel.

As for the 60-mm guns, they still used anti-personnel and incendiary shells, which were able to completely ignite the enemy's civil fortifications, and their own saltpeter strong oxidizer made the burning more violent.

And Chen Jin was already stunned when he couldn't hear the point explosion, such a violent shell explosion was something he had never seen since he joined the army.

At this moment, a cannonball hit the fortress where he was. The 100 mm shell was like a large rob with excellent growth, and the leaded shell entered the interior of the fortress with even more powerful impact, plunging into the ground with only a round butt exposed.

Then, in the violent explosion, the small iron beads let out a sharp whistling sound, knocking everyone inside the fortress to the ground. In general, it was difficult to have a live mouth inside the fortress hit by such shells.

Bashan was also hit by a storm of shrapnel, and almost at the same time the ammunition in the artillery barrier was ignited, accompanied by a loud bang, and among the black smoke that rose into the sky were some huge trees destroyed by the flames, and the mud like decay.

It's just that the manufacture of this kind of artillery shell is quite complicated, because the number of equipment of the Shenzhou Army is not large, so when starting the battle, it is also very helpless to use only ordinary artillery shells that are easy to manufacture.

Chen Jin, who was hidden on Elephant Mountain, sighed a little helplessly, it seems that the street battle in Zhenjiang City is inevitable. He raised his binoculars again and looked at the fort on Jiangxinzhou, which was completely shrouded in flying mud and what seemed to be countless flames.

And above this section of the river, those sharp and chilling voices echoed everywhere.

"Alas!" He sighed heavily, and said nothing and walked with his own soldiers from the muddy paths behind Xiangshan Mountain to the city.

It's not that he doesn't want to say it, he even wants to jump to scold Bashan, this idiot, if his Jiangxinzhou Fort is "resurrected" when it attacks not the warship, but the troop carrier that follows behind the enemy, this battle may still be possible.

However, he could not say that this would not only involve the dispute between the Manchus and the Hans, but would also be a matter that would be detrimental to his dignity. So he couldn't say that he could only write these insights and extremely bland tones into excerpts and hand them to Hong Chengchou.

At this time, the Exocet-class speedboat launched a ground attack on the Qing army battery in Jiangxinzhou. At this time, the Qing army's batteries in Jiangxinzhou had completely lost their combat capability.

The swaying flames that were almost completely immersed in the sea of fire completely sealed the exits of these batteries, and the only fate of the Qing gunners inside was to be burned to death.

Yue Xiaofei of the "Whale-class Amphibious Assault Ship" at the back held up the binoculars and looked at the huge column of smoke that was rising, and suddenly had an extremely bad feeling, because the continuous attacks had consumed the ammunition to a certain extent, and the most important thing was that the continuous attacks for more than ten days had exhausted the troops!
