Gao Junshan asked, "What kind of pirate is it?" ”

The first mate replied: "It's a wolf." ”

"Waka!?" Gao Junshan's interest came up, "Mala is paralyzed, Lao Tzu has long wanted to fight with devils, and today when Lao Tzu ran into them, he didn't crush them and feed the fish." ”

The first mate is also a disciple of Chongwen, of course, he knows that the mountain chief hates the Japanese Kou, although he doesn't know how much blood and hatred the mountain chief has against the Japanese Kou, but the mountain chief's emotions immediately infected him.

"How many ships do they have?" Gao Junshan asked.

The first mate replied, "There are twenty boats. ”

Gao Junshan said: "Twenty boats are afraid of a dick, all of them will be cleaned up!" ”

He came to the cockpit, where the captain was already assigned a combat mission.

Captain Deng Shijie reported to Gao Junshan about the current situation, there is a fleet of 20 pirates, about 3 nautical miles away from the "Zheng He No. 1", they have also discovered the warships of the Huaxia Kingdom, from the analysis of their no signs of leaving, they are very likely to come to intercept the "Zheng He No. 1".

Gao Junshan said: "The devil still wants to stop us? That's good! Lao Tzu is waiting for him. How far is it from Quanzhou? ”

Deng Shijie replied: "If Quanzhou sends a fleet over, it can be reached in three hours." ”

Gao Junshan said: "Immediately telegraph the First Fleet to come over for reinforcements." ”

The first mate on the side said, "A telegram requesting reinforcements has been sent." ”

Gao Junshan said to Deng Shijie: "I am not as good as you in sea combat, I order you to command your warship to strike hard at the Japanese invaders, and you can't let go of a single Japanese invader." ”

"Yes!"

At this time, several senior admirals of the Navy who had been on the ship for internship also went up to the cockpit from below to participate in the operational command of the Japanese Invaders.

Li Derong was worried about Gao Junshan's safety, and suggested to Gao Junshan: "Your Majesty, let's go back to the rest cabin first!" ”

Gao Junshan said: "I still go to the newspaper room, where I can grasp the situation in time." ”

Sun Dahai was mainly familiar with the coordination between the Marine Corps and the warships, and he was not good at commanding the warships to fight, so he said to Gao Junshan: "Father, the child will accompany you to the newspaper room." ”

has a son with him, of course Gao Junshan agrees.

Deng Shijie ordered the recovery of two speedboats that had been sent to sea for reconnaissance missions, and all artillery pieces were brought into first-class combat condition.

He also ordered the warship to stop advancing and wait for the Japanese to come on their own initiative.

Sure enough, twenty ships of various types appeared in the waters near the "Zheng He No. 1". Deng Shijie used a telescope to observe the enemy, and the 20 ships were in an arc formation, approaching the "Zheng He No. 1" little by little, and it seemed that they wanted to enclose the "Zheng He No. 1".

Of these twenty ships, there are five Ataka ships, ten Seki ships, three tortoiseshell ships, and two small morning ships.

One of the largest Ataku ships is the flagship ship, which travels at the very top of the arc.

The bow to stern of the Japanese ship was protected by armor made of slabs, and it was full of holes for shooting arrows and guns, and there were no dead spots in the front, rear, left and right sides. When approaching an enemy ship, you can also turn the lintel outward to turn it into a bridge to the enemy ship. The bottom of the boat is also designed with waterproof partitions, so that even if part of the boat gets into the water, the boat will not sink.

The power of the boat is mainly human paddle paddling, and there are about 100 oarsmen. The ship was armed with thirty 18-pounder guns, the speed of which was only 3 to 4 knots.

And Sekibune and Kohayafune are both small warships, and their speed is much faster than that of the Ataka ship, and their combat effectiveness is hehe.

The tortoiseshell ships were Korean warships, and the Japanese had three of them, presumably captured or imitated.

The tortoiseshell boat is 35 meters long, 11.8 meters wide and 5.2 meters high. There are 10 oars on the left and right of the boat, and the masts can be raised or down.

There are more than 70 hollows on the tortoiseshell ship, where guns, cannons or arrows can be fired, and there are 26 cabins such as cabins and warehouses, and there are dense knives and awl-shaped iron skewers on the iron armor. The bow of the ship is tortoise-shaped, and the mouth of the tortoise is equipped with a 9-pounder gun.

Tortoiseshell ships can approach enemy ships to attack by virtue of their own defensive capabilities.

The combat effectiveness of the Ataku ship and the tortoiseshell ship is for the wooden paddle sailboat, and in the face of the giant battleships of the Huaxia Kingdom, it is the scum.

In the face of twenty menacing wooden ships, Deng Shijie was not afraid, he calmly waited for the enemy ships to approach, and only when the flagship ship of the Japanese invaders entered the range of the 70-pounder main battle gun, he would not hesitate to give the order to open fire.

The main guns of the "Zheng He No. 1" giant battleship were located at the bow of the ship, and there were three guns in total.

The guns are distributed on the deck in a triangular shape, each gun has a turret that can be rotated to expand the gun's firing range, and the gun body can be adjusted to adjust the distance of the shot.

The turret is equipped with a scope and a rangefinder, the rangefinder is similar to the sextant, and it also needs to rely on sunlight for ranging, and it will not work on rainy days and nights, so it must be visually inspected at this time.

A cannon is manned by seven men and fired under the command of the gun commander.

Just behind the three main guns, on the second deck, there were six secondary guns, all of which were 50-pound heavy guns, and also relied on the turret for a 180-degree rotation attack.

Deng Shijie was in front of the cockpit monitoring the flagship of the Japanese Invaders, and he had already given the order that as long as the flagship ship of the Japanese Invaders came into range, it could fire without asking for instructions.

These barbaric Japanese had never seen a steam-engine ship, and when they saw the "Zheng He No. 1" emitting black smoke, they thought that they could win by relying on their many ships, so they adopted the tactics of roundabout encirclement, placing 20 warships in an arc formation, in a vain attempt to encircle the arc into a circle and encircle the "Zheng He No. 1" to attack together.

However, they were wrong.

"Boom——! Boom ——! Boom ——! ”

The first to fire the cannon were three main battle guns, three shells accurately hit the flagship of the Japanese Kou, one shell was fired flat, and a big hole was punched in the board of the flagship Ataku ship, which was the armor protection of the Ataku ship, and in the face of the main battle gun of the Zheng He class, these slabs were like tissue paper, and the warhead easily passed through the slab and exploded, and the slab also began to burn.

Another shell was hoisted at the stern of the flagship, and another hit the gang, setting off a column of water three feet high.

The flagship of the Japanese was immediately in disarray.

Boom Boom!

A second round of nine shells also flew over, and this time, the flagship was blown apart and began to sink rapidly.

The Japanese were also tenacious, and another Ataka ship raised its flag, acting as its flagship, and commanded the warship to rush towards the "Zheng He No. 1".

The gunners of all the emplacements were ready to open fire as soon as the pirates were in range.

After the commander of the main battle gun killed the flagship, he also noticed that another Ataka ship had raised its flag, and he ordered the main battle gun to immediately adjust its position and aim its muzzle at the new target.
