Taking advantage of the slowdown of the Tiance Army's fleet, the Zheng family's fleet gradually caught up. Dozens of large, medium and small sailboats, hundreds of boats compete for the current, pieces of sail shadows, quite spectacular.

Only then did Wang Yue know that the Dutch had such a powerful warship, why they would lose to Zheng Zhilong. In the seventeenth century, when there were no heavy machine guns and rapid-fire guns, it was a mistake to try to use a dozen Galen's solid shells and arquebuses against hundreds of sailing ships.

After destroying six sailboats, the drone rose into the air again to observe enemy movements from the air. According to the dynamics of the enemy ships, Wei Xiaoliang ordered all ships to fight horizontally to meet the battle.

Seeing that his six sailing ships were quickly sunk, Zheng Lian's resentful eyes were about to burn, and he kept urging the ships to pounce on the enemy.

Two kilometers away, mortars and heavy machine guns were already firing in advance, and for a while, bullets rained down on the sea, and shells and bullets whistled towards the Zheng family's fleet.

Cannonballs continued to fall in front of and behind the sailing ships, and while the water column soared into the sky, occasionally shells hit the sailing boats, causing varying degrees of damage to the sailing ships with the sound of explosions.

The high hit rate is still the heavy machine gun, with an extremely high rate of fire and bullet density, brushing over the enemy ship over and over again like a big brush. All sailboats that have been cared for by heavy machine guns have been pierced into thumb-thick holes, even those hiding in the cabins are not spared.

With the numerical superiority, the distance between the Zheng family's fleet and the Tiance army fleet is constantly narrowing. The number diluted the density of fire, and in addition to the heavy casualties of a few sailing ships, it took five minutes, nine hundred mortar rounds, to sink only one enemy ship.

It was the first time to conduct such a fierce naval battle, and the Tiance Army and Navy were still too rusty, and the soldiers played with a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, and Wang Yuezhi, who was watching, shook his head.

He said loudly to Wei Xiaoliang: "Xiaoliang, don't you understand the truth of concentrating superior forces to fight a war of annihilation?" Use mortars to give me one by one to dry them, heavy machine guns focus on taking care of the nearest sailing ship. ”

Wei Xiaoliang yelled: "Yes, commander! Then the tactics were adjusted. He was also secretly anxious, the enemy was a kilometer away and had not yet entered the range of the recoilless gun, otherwise it would make them look good.

Zheng Lian on the other side was more anxious than him, and the feeling of being beaten passively was too embarrassing. His fleet had artillery on every sailing ship, and all but three large ships had eighteen-pounder Franc cannons, and only twelve pounder cannons and some Tiger guns on the other galleons.

The effective range of the eighteen-pounder guns was only about 300 meters, and the number was limited, and the three large ships had only one on the fore and one on the fore deck. The upper deck layout of the Chinese schooner could not carry a large number of large guns like the Western-style all-through deck, so there were generally only eight guns.

After Wang Yue saw that after adjusting his tactics, his efficiency did improve, and soon two sailing ships were hit and caught on fire, and they were about to capsize.

In the future, it is necessary to continue to improve the direct firepower of the navy, and the effective range of 800 meters of recoilless guns is too unpleasant. Now they can only make do with it first, and only the infantry weapons that they are used to can make them immediately form combat effectiveness. If they are given a modern warship, the period of waiting for them to form combat effectiveness is too long.

Seeing that it was time to use a big killing weapon, he called Li Zixiong, instructor Zhu Youxue, and the captain of the Dingyuan ship, Zhuang Suwen. He said to them, "Come with me." ”

The so-called weapon of mass destruction is the 37-millimeter close-in defense gun of the Dingyuan ship, which is used to intercept missiles. This weapon, which can only tickle enemy ships in modern time and space, can also become a weapon of mass destruction in this time and space.

The Dingyuan ship's close defense guns cannot be compared with the AK 630 close defense guns on the dock landing ship with a range of 10,000 rounds per minute and a range of 17 kilometers.

However, it also has a rate of fire of 2,000 rounds per minute and a range of 7.2 kilometers, as well as artillery sighting radar, fully automatic remote control, and semi-automatic optical aiming systems.

Wang Yue has been studying the use of this close defense gun for many days. Today, several military commanders were called together to learn how to use it, and this is the first modern naval gun to be mastered.

Several people came to the close defense gun operation platform, Wang Yue said to Zhuang Suwen, the captain of the Dingyuan ship: "Captain Zhuang, I will command, you will operate, and the others will follow." ”

Zhuang Suwen was directly promoted from army company commander to battalion captain, and he just learned to drive ships when he was put on the shelf. As the captain of the ship, in fact, many advanced facilities on this maritime surveillance ship have not yet been fully mastered. If you look at it by modern standards, it is simply a barbaric operation.

But that's how the Tiance Army came over, and they're used to it. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and who knows what it should be like according to strict standards?

This close defense gun Wang Yue introduced to them, and today is the first time to use it. Zhuang Suwen sat on the control console according to Wang Yue's request, and locked the target sailboat on the computer with the mouse, and the computer immediately calculated the shooting yuan and the amount of advance.

The console automatically turned with the trajectory of the locked target, and Wang Yue gave an order, Zhuang Suwen fired a point, and a shuttle of 37-millimeter shells rushed towards the enemy ship, most of which hit the target.

A burst fire from a close defense gun is three seconds, a hundred small shells.

Dozens of shells exploded in succession inside the wooden sailboat, denser and shorter than firecrackers, and the sailboat was torn apart in an instant, turning into pieces of broken wood and disappearing from view.

Not to mention that Zheng Lian was taken aback, even Li Zixiong and the others were secretly shocked by the rate of fire of this cannon, and they could see clearly the bullet casings that popped out like flowing water, and this cannon was faster than the rate of fire of the Type 85 heavy machine gun.

It was the first time for Zhuang Suwen to use the fire control system to operate a weapon, and he said excitedly: "Commander, this cannon is really good, and it can track the target by itself." ”

Wang Yue nodded and said, "This is called an automatic fire control device, move on to the next target." ”

After the close defense artillery was put into battle, the Zheng family's fleet was sad, only to see a few bursts of fire suddenly burst out of the larger iron ship in the middle, and one sailboat must have disintegrated, and in the blink of an eye, eight sailing ships disappeared above the sea.

Counting the losses of the sailing ships in front, nineteen sailing ships have been sunk so far, the losses of the Zheng family's fleet have exceeded one-third, and four or five sailing ships have ignited large and small flames after being hit by mortar shells, and the sailors on board are struggling to put them out.

"Shhh Zheng Lian gasped: "I miscalculated, I didn't expect this to be a hard stubble!" ”

How long did the Battle of Liuluo Bay last with the Dutch? The first battle lasted for one day, and then the battle lasted for eight days and eight nights, and the Zheng family lost more than a hundred warships.

Today's battle did not even arrive for half an hour, and he suffered such a big loss, which completely exceeded his expectations.

Military advisor Xu Shaoyan admonished worriedly: "Second master! Why don't we withdraw? "He's getting scared stupid, too.
