Chapter 307: Lanfang War (5) Landing

In fact, he was not without worry, Daming will return to Pontianak again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info It's just that he has no choice but to beg the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, and in his tenure, Da Ming will not come again. In this way, he can also spend his tenure with peace of mind and have a better future.

But he usually doesn't burn incense, doesn't worship the Buddha, and the gods and Buddhas of the heavens don't bother to pay attention to his request. What I had been worried about for a long time finally happened.

was so distressed that a sudden bang in his ears startled him.

Then the ground shook, and a large firelight rose from the seashore not far away.

Before he could see it clearly, the roaring sound of the cannon was like a connected bamboo curtain, ringing non-stop. The shaking of the ground also intensified suddenly. It's like a beast of desolation that wants to rush out of the ground. Let Sun Rufu be unstable.

Looking at the seaside again, the firelight rising from the sky has shown a tendency to cover the sky and the sun. Under the blowing of the sea breeze, it quickly pressed towards the city of Pontianak. It seems that there is a peerless demon who wants to engulf Pontianak.

The pungent smoke also rushed into his lungs first.

Let him clearly realize that the war is really coming!

I don't know how long it took, when the sound of the cannon in his ears gradually weakened, Sun Rufu stood up tremblingly with the support of the guards.

On the boat, Zhang Xiao looked at the messy turret and smiled with satisfaction.

Like last time, the coastal defense turret near the sea in Pontianak is like papier-mâché. It didn't fire a few shots before it was destroyed. The weak counterattack didn't even touch the hair of the Ming warship. Although the coastal defense turret of Pontianak was purchased from the Ming Dynasty.

But after upgrading, the Ming army has all been replaced by three generations of cannons. And those who are sold are the relatively backward second generation of light and the light generation.

This pair is booming, and it is also clear which one is strong and which one is weak.

However, the Pontianak officials also learned wisely, not only arranging turrets near the sea, but also corresponding artillery arrangements in some places with complex terrain.

So what this destroys is only the turret that is closer to the sea. There are also parts that are hidden deeper and farther apart. The three generations of bright artillery of the Ming Dynasty are out of reach. And because Pontianak is located at the intersection of the sea and rivers, the port is connected to the riverbank. On both sides, there are a lot of artillery pieces hidden.

If you want to land safely, you have to destroy these turrets. Otherwise, the warships of the Ming Dynasty will be easily sunk. Therefore, Zhang Xiao had to send a landing team to seize the port and destroy the turret. So that the Ming warship can dock safely. Occupy Pontianak again and take Lan Fang.

During this period, Liu Weiguo stood aside and watched, and did not express his opinion. This is the tacit understanding between him and Zhang Xiao!

At sea, they all listened to Zhang Xiao. Wait until you get to land, and then take yourself as the main thing. In this way, the division of labor is clear, and it also avoids delaying fighters.

So the landing team of about 500 people took advantage of the small boat and approached the pier at great speed. The Lanfang defenders on the shore also sensed Da Ming's attempt and fought back vigorously!

I saw shells burning with sparks, like rain, smashing towards the landing force. Large bursts of fire mixed with waves several meters high constantly appeared on the surface of the sea. From time to time, there are small wooden boats that are unlucky, or they are hit by cannonballs, or they are overturned by big waves.

Maybe every shell, every explosion, a soldier died.

But the small wooden boat nearby still did not pause. In the face of artillery fire, by luck, he approached the pier. Liu Weiguo and Zhang Xiao, who were watching the battle, also felt a sense of solemnity. Because this is the iron-blooded military soul that Da Ming has always emphasized, and the iron will that has always been cultivated.

Only with these can the army become a formidable and strong army.

Now that the landing team has landed on the team, these advantages have been fully revealed.

It is no wonder that Liu Weiguo and Zhang Xiao have different feelings.

When the first small wooden boat landed on land, Liu Weiguo and Zhang Xiao's tense hearts were instantly relieved. After all, if you land early, your hope of survival will increase by a point. They also don't want to watch the excellent Ming soldiers die under senseless fire.

Finally, it turns into a cold corpse and buries it in the ground.

And Da Ming has always taken the route of elite soldiers!

The quantity of the army is not deliberately pursued, but the quality of the army is very demanding.

And this is about the quality of each soldier!

That's why when enlisting in the army, the Ministry of Defense's qualification review will be so strict. After enlisting in the army, he also trained very carefully.

Don't talk about the time and energy spent, let's talk about the food you eat. Three meals a day, never dry. The meat is even more constant. So much so that there are rumors in the Ming Dynasty that the People's Army eats better than the Presidential Palace.

Many soldiers who were forced to leave the army were extremely reluctant to leave the army. After all, such a good food supply, only Daming's family.

Therefore, if it does not play its due role on the battlefield, it will be a huge loss for Daming.

Fortunately, as time passed, more and more marines landed in the port. Then in groups of nine, approached the turret. In order to increase the firepower of the Marine soldiers, Zhang Xiao also distributed half of the Navy's hand grenades to the Marine Corps.

This grenade is not only small in size, small in mass, but also relatively simple to make.

It is mainly composed of three parts: the projectile, the body, the charge, and the fuze. Among them, the projectile body is used to fill explosives, and the projectile body of some grenades can also generate fragments. The type of charge determines the purpose of the grenade.

As for a fuse, it is a mechanical or chemical device that detonates or ignites a charge.

In terms of specifications, the diameter of commonly used grenades is generally about 50mm, and the length of the whole bullet is 100mm. The mass of the full bomb is 300-600g, and there are exceptions, only 120g.

Its structure is also very simple, and the cost is relatively low. Coupled with the ease of operation and ease of use, it was produced by Daming.

In fact, if you look at the history of grenades, you will find that it is not too late to appear. Originally invented by the Chinese, it just wasn't widely used.

Later, in the 15th century, grenades filled with black powder appeared in Europe. That's what brought it into people's sight.

Slowly developed to the middle of the 17th century, some European countries, in elite troops, were equipped with special grenades for field operations. And soldiers who have been specially trained to use grenades are called grenadiers.

The Marine detachment, which was responsible for capturing the port and destroying the turrets, was specially trained. So it's also very smooth to use.

Today's grenades made by the Ming Dynasty are a copy of the German wooden-handled grenades during World War I. Only in some areas, improvements have been made. For example, in the firing method, a directional impact mechanism is added, which is applied to the fuse of the grenade. There will also be a hollow charge mechanism for grenade warheads.

The power of such a strengthened version of the grenade is also very gratifying!
