Chapter 282: The First Test (2)
After the Japanese flagships were destroyed, the new flagships changed the formation of the attack, changing the original arc-shaped encirclement to a battleline formation, and the arc-shaped formation of the enemy ships was straightened, and more than a dozen warships shrank in a line at the same time, forming a dense formation, approaching the "Zheng He No. 1" from south to north.
Deng Shijie couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw the change in the formation of the Japanese invaders, these idiots gathered together, isn't this just the right thing! "Zheng He-1" can take advantage of the advantages of artillery and bomb these ships with impunity.
With three tortoiseshell ships as the core, the Japanese approached the "Zheng He No. 1", and the protective plate of the hull of the tortoiseshell ship was made of hardwood, which resembled a tortoise shell, and the deck was made of thick wood, and was wrapped with scaly iron blades, which had excellent protective performance.
North Korea once destroyed the Japanese with tortoiseshell ships, and now the Japanese also want to use the advantages of tortoiseshell ships to fight against "Zheng He No. 1".
In the sky, the sun is waning, and the seagulls are flocking away in the afterglow of the sunset......
The silent sea suddenly erupted with the rumbling sound of cannons, and the fire stained the sea red, and the sea and sky were colored.
I saw that on the sea, a giant ship and more than a dozen wooden sail warships fired at each other, and the cannonballs fired by the giant ship, spraying a mysterious light, poured on the wooden sail warship, and most of the shells sent by the wooden sail battleship fell in the sea water in front of the giant ship, and these cannonballs just added a little splash to this battle.
As a senior admiral of the navy, Deng Shijie knew the North Korean tortoiseshell ships very thoroughly, so he ordered the heavy guns on the front and rear decks to abandon the attack on the Ataka ships and make every effort to destroy the tortoiseshell ships that rushed to the front.
The three tortoiseshell ships rushed towards the "Zheng He No. 1" at full speed, and their intention was obvious, that is, to use the defense capabilities of the tortoiseshell ships to attack.
However, they were wrong.
The impact of the tortoiseshell ship was futile, not to mention the slowness, let's just say that his defense, under the bombardment of 50-pound and 70-pound heavy artillery, its hard tortoiseshell was also dismembered and shattered, and sank into the sea.
After killing the three tortoiseshell ships, the heavy guns on the "Zheng He No. 1" adjusted their positions again, and the muzzles of the guns were all aimed at the new flagship ship, and in the rumbling cannon sound, the Ataka ship was torn in half and finally sank to the bottom of the sea.
The third Ataka ship raised its flag and acted as the flagship ship, which was given a signal to escape. The surviving pirates did not wait for the signal of the flagship ship and began to flee.
"The Woko have been repulsed!" The first mate rushed to the newspaper office and reported to Gao Junshan.
"Knocked back?" Gao Junshan asked coldly.
The first mate looked very excited, and said, "Fought back, killed their eight warships, and the rest all fled." ”
Gao Junshan was not satisfied, he ordered: "Pursuit, immediate pursuit, they must all be wiped out!" ”
Gao Junshan said as he walked out of the newspaper room and came to the cockpit.
Captain Deng Shijie also heard Gao Junshan's order, he was observing the sea with a telescope, Gao Junshan came to him, he put down the telescope and said: "Mountain Commander, they can't escape, the direction they fled is the route of my First Fleet." ”
Gao Junshan said: "Immediately telegraph Zheng Chenggong, be sure to stop the fleeing widows, and we will catch up immediately." ”
The boatswain asked, "Your Majesty, what about the Japanese who have fallen overboard on the sea?" ”
Gao Junshan said: "Shoot them all with a gun, and leave no one behind." ”
Deng Shijie added: "Put down five speedboats and chase down the Japanese in the sea. ”
Gao Junshan agreed: "Correct. Kill these pirates and start again. ”
Deng Shijie said to Gao Junshan: "Mountain Chief, the chefs have already prepared dinner, and the next thing will be left to the students, please go to the restaurant for dinner first." ”
Gao Junshan nodded in agreement, so he went down to the restaurant on the second floor, accompanied by Sun Dahai and Li Derong.
Because the war has just ended, there are not many people dining now. When they sat down to eat, they heard the sound of ping-pong gunfire outside, which was the navy soldiers cleaning up the Japanese in the water.
When Gao Junshan finished dinner, the battle to hunt down the Japanese was over. At eight o'clock in the night, "Zheng He No. 1" sounded a long whistle and slowly moved its huge body.
When he returned to the private room, the battleship's sailing speed also increased to 16 knots, and at this time, the sea was windy and wavery, and there was a force five gale, and the "Zheng He No. 1" also swayed from side to side.
The ship implemented light control, Gao Junshan consciously extinguished the oil lamp, lay on the bed, the shaking of the battleship, made him sleepy, with the rhythm of the shaking, he fell asleep.
He was awakened by the rumbling sound of cannons, and he looked at his luminous watch, and it was already four o'clock in the morning.
He scrambled to his feet, straightened his uniform, and ran to the cockpit, where a guard followed him closely.
Captain Deng Shijie is directing the battle.
"Zheng He-1" tracked at a speed of 16 knots in the direction of the Japanese invaders' escape, and the Japanese ships had a speed of 4 knots, so even if they escaped, they would not be able to escape far.
The battle was raging, and the Japanese warships knew that they could not defeat Huaxia, so they continued to flee while counterattacking, but their counterattack was weak, and the cannons they carried could only fire 9-pound shells, which was not a threat to the "Zheng He No. 1" at all.
Deng Shijie commanded the "Zheng He No. 1" to drive to the middle of the fleeing Japanese warship, giving full play to the power of the left and right guns on the battleship, and firing at both sides at the same time.
The sea was suddenly blazing red, and four or five warships of the Japanese invaders suddenly caught fire, and some people could be seen jumping into the sea to escape.
There were two ships that were on fire, desperately rushing towards the "Zheng He No. 1" to see that it meant to collide with the ship.
Gao Junshan also saw this situation, and he hurriedly reminded the captain: "The Japanese are about to crash into the ship!" ”
Deng Shijie immediately ordered to increase the speed of the ship, and he firmly controlled the rudder to avoid the collision of the Japanese invaders.
The two ships adjusted their bows and wanted to ram again, but he had no chance, and the main guns on the battleship overturned the two ships into the sea.
At this time, Zheng Chenggong's First Fleet also arrived, and more than 100 warships came to the First Fleet.
The battlefield was counted, one Japanese house was captured, four ships were closed, and 327 Japanese were captured.
Deng Shijie asked Gao Junshan: "Mountain chief, what should you do with these captives?" ”
Gao Junshan said coldly: "Lao Tzu is his grandmother's!" All of them were put to death, and none of them remained. ”
"Yes!"
Although he does not have an overall plan to attack the island country, the idea of attacking the island country has existed for a long time, and now the conditions are ripe, with battleships and marines, it is no longer a problem to attack the island country, and the key thing is that Gao Junshan must seize time to establish a complete and vast China country.
His original intention in establishing the Southern Fleet was to prepare for an attack on the island nation. For the time being, he didn't want to have any conflict with the island nation too soon, and wait until the Southern Fleet grew stronger, and then clean up these barbarian races.
The current task is to march into Cam Ranh Bay and regain Annam.
