Chapter Eighty-Nine: Competition

"Cut, what's there to be proud of, is it a record of smashing and sinking?" Seeing the people of the No. 1 cannon, the artillerymen of the other four cannons were not happy, and said with a little taste, but when they said this, their hearts were also a little empty - although the goal of the No. 1 cannon was to smash the enemy, but compared with their first cannon was not built, it was much better, after all, on the battlefield, no matter what method you used to kill the enemy, in the end, even if you bite it with your teeth, you have to hand your mouth when you should bite it.

Hearing these sour words, the commander of the No. 1 gun became even more proud: "Why do I sound so sour about this?" Why is it not a record if it is smashed? You don't care if we smash or blow up, it's a credit to be able to knock out the target - Your Highness has a saying, black cats and white cats, and if you catch a mouse, you are a good cat...... I have destroyed the enemy, but how do you care how I destroy them? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, keep firing at me, shoot all the shells out for me." Seeing this, Hayama immediately ordered, now is not the time to be happy, the enemy has hundreds of ships, and they are all still advancing rapidly, and they are getting closer and closer to themselves, although they may not be all warships, but no matter which ship breaks through their defensive line, it will be a great shame for them artillerymen.

"Yes." The artillerymen were no longer angry and jealous, and immediately pulled the cannon ropes, and the five shells that had already been loaded were shot out again.

"Boom Boom Boom~"

The roar sounded again, and this time their luck was really good, three of the five shells actually hit the target, although two of them did not hit the vital point, only wiped the corners and corners, but it was still the same sentence, in front of the five hundred kilograms of shells, as long as they hit, no matter where they touched, it was basically the end of the project.

Not to mention the first one, it was directly blown to pieces, and the power is not weaker than the power of the torpedo. The second troop transport ship was hit in the stern, which directly blew the ship high and lifted it high, and finally capsized on the sea, and the people on board were all detained inside. And the last shot is even more legendary, because the last shot did not hit the enemy ship, at most it could only be regarded as a grazing edge, and even the shell did not explode, but the shell exploded when it entered the sea.

As mentioned before, the power of explosives exploding under the water is many times stronger than in the air, and sometimes the destructive power caused by a close miss may be more severe than a direct hit, because a near miss bomb is an explosion near a warship, and a huge pressure is formed after the explosion, and the density of sea water is far greater than that of air, and this pressure will directly damage the hull structure of the warship with seawater as conduction, and the power caused by a small shell may be more destructive than that caused by heavy guns in the air. And this artillery troop carrier that was affected by the near miss fully proves this point - the planks of the side of the ship that were affected by the near miss were all lifted off at that time, and even the side ribs were gone, and the sea dawn penetrated in large numbers, although it has not sunk yet, but it is only barely floating on the sea, and it will sink in a short time.

"Pretty." Seeing this, Ye Shan waved his fist fiercely, which showed that he was also very satisfied with the shelling this time.

"Hahaha...... What is this called? Feng Shui takes turns. "The commander of the No. 234 cannon was proud, because these three hits were done by them, and the No. 1 battery that had just made a good start did not make any contributions, the face of the gun commander was more ugly, of course, the face was even more ugly was the gun commander of the No. 5 gun, two rounds passed, the other four cannons were captured, as far as their No. 5 gun did not gain anything, not to mention the waste of two precious shells, the laughter of his colleagues was a great irony in his opinion.

"Give me a little bit of accuracy, useless things." The No. 5 gun commander was angry, which was also too embarrassing, and he didn't hit a single shot in two rounds, and he felt that everyone looked at him with mockery in their eyes.

"Yes." The artillerymen of the No. 5 gun also held their breath, the artillery is a technical branch, each of them can be called an elite, and the coastal defense artillery is the elite of the elite, but today they really have no face to claim to be an elite...... This time we must play well, and we must not lag behind others again.

After all, the distance between the two sides is still more than 50 kilometers, and they are hitting targets at sea, and they are not launching missiles, and even the hit rate of the 'greedy wolf' cannon is less than 5 percent -- and this is already a very high hit rate.

Therefore, let alone two rounds, even if it is ten rounds, it is normal to miss a single shot, and only when the enemy's distance comes to a distance of thirty kilometers will the hit rate be greatly improved - according to the lookout's report, the No. 2 battery also fired two rounds, but only in the second round it hit the side of a cargo ship that looked like a cargo ship and sent the ship to the bottom of the sea, and the remaining nine shells did not make a meritorious service, so the hit rate is normal.

The problem is that the luck of the No. 1 battery today is too good, two rounds of firing ten shells, four of them actually hit the target, and the only one that did not hit was the No. 5 gun, how can this not make the No. 5 gun commander feel ashamed and embarrassed?

"Boom, boom, boom!"

"Woo woo woo woo ~ "

Another five guns were ejected, and three minutes later, the results were quickly reported back by the lookout: "Two of the three rounds of fire hit, the No. 3 and No. 5 guns. ”

"Yo roar!" No. 3 was fine, and No. 5 cannon suddenly cheered - finally it was a meritorious service, and there was no longer any need to suffer from the feeling of being on the back just now.

"Good, now we're ahead, keep it up." The commander of the third gun was also happy, because after three rounds, only they hit two shots, and the rest had only one hit.

"Hmph, don't be complacent, we'll overtake you soon." The rest of the people were naturally unconvinced, and said very unhappily.

"Since you are not convinced by each other, let's have a race, with a limit of 30 kilometers, before that, see who sinks the most targets, and the four people who lose pool their money to invite the winner to Desheng Lou (the largest restaurant in Coconut Port) to have a good meal." Seeing that his subordinates were not convinced, Ye Shan couldn't help but propose, he was in a good mood - competition prevailed in the Tang Army, the five cannons of the No. 1 battery were competing, and he, as the supreme commander of the No. 1 battery, also competed with other batteries, especially the No. 2 battery, which was exactly the same as him, and was Ye Shan's most powerful competitor, and now the No. 1 battery had sunk six enemy ships, while the No. 2 battery had only two sunk and harvested in three rounds, obviously he had an absolute advantage, and Ye Shan was naturally very happy.

"Competitions? All right. A chuckle flashed on the face of the No. 1 gunner: "I like the game the most, and I have a meal today." ”

The second artillery commander sneered: "Cut, of course this meal is indispensable to you, but you went to invite me to eat as a loser." ”

"Everyone will talk big, don't forget, now I am dominating, and this meal is destined to be eaten." Commander No. 3 interjected.

"Hmph, that's not necessarily." The No. 4 gun commander was quite unconvinced, and cursed: "There is no absolute, a temporary lead does not mean an eternal lead, maybe you will have these two battles today." ”

"That's it, isn't it just two battle exploits? What are you about? The No. 5 gun commander raised his eyebrows, was in a good mood, and hurriedly echoed when he heard the words: "I didn't get the first two shots, and I hit the third shot with one shot, this is to save character, now that the character is enough, it's time for me to play next." ”

“……”

Everyone did not give in to each other, and they were quite confident in themselves, and just by this time the shells had been loaded, and the fourth round of shooting began, then the fifth, and then the sixth......

By the time the enemy had reached thirty kilometers, they had already fought a full ten rounds, destroying a total of twenty-five enemy ships, and the hit rate was as high as fifty percent—a probability that could only be achieved at a distance of ten kilometers.

Among the five cannons, the largest number of them was the No. 1 battery, and they actually hit seven rounds, which means that in the next seven rounds of shooting, they actually only missed one shot. And the one who won the least was No. 3 - it really made the No. 4 gun commander accurate, although there were not only two combat exploits, but in the next seven shots, there was only one hit, and when the statistics came out, the face of the No. 3 gun commander was black......

"Hahaha, everyone, concede, concede, I'm welcome, hahaha...... "The No. 1 artillery commander is this, he can't help it, after all, the hit rate of fifty kilometers is seventy percent, which fully proves his ability.

Seeing that the rest of the people were all bowing their heads, he couldn't help but feel even more proud: "But don't be discouraged, after all, our No. 1 gun position has already shown our strength - otherwise we use the No. 1 cannon?" That in itself proves that we are number one. ”

"......" The other four people didn't speak, it's okay to lose money, they are high-tech troops, even the navy can't compare to the monthly salary, and a feast in Deshenglou is not appreciated, the problem is that it is uncomfortable to lose to others - doesn't this mean that they and others are inferior to others? They are all young men with strong blood, who would think that they are worse than others? Now that I've lost, it's no wonder that I feel better.

"Okay, don't cry one by one, and don't be shy." Seeing this, Ye Shan hurriedly changed the topic: "Let me tell you, what was just an appetizer just now, and now that the enemy ship has reached our effective range, this is the main course, it is nothing if you missed just now, but if you miss it again, then don't blame me for not interceding with you." ”

"Yes......" everyone agreed.

I'm sorry, yesterday my friend got married, I went to drink a wedding wine, and I came back late, there was no update, sorry......
