Chapter 816: The Hateful Black Powder

With a clang, Inoue Xin, who put down the rice bowl in her hand, hurriedly got up from the chair and opened the window. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Sure enough, as soon as the window opened, the roar in the distance was louder.

Although he has never entered the battlefield, he is also a person who has inspected the position, and he can be regarded as a soldier.

"This is like the sound of a battery firing?" Inoue Shin, who turned around, asked, the secretary who had already walked in front of him.

The secretary didn't understand this, she sounded like it was the sound of firecrackers in the house, however, she quickly rejected this idea, and now the entire Japanese ammunition has been used to make gunpowder in ammunition, where is there such a high-level thing as firecrackers.

Originally, both the army and navy used smokeless cotton gunpowder, but now, this kind of thing is gone forever, and now even black powder is a licensed product in Japan, and it is generally not allowed to be sold by private individuals, and it is made into cannonballs after the government buys it back.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, do you think you would like to send someone to take a look?" The secretary, who didn't know how to answer, asked after putting his arm around Inoue's waist.

This is a must, after all, sending someone over is not to run errands by yourself, and after nodding, Inoue Xin motioned to the secretary to handle it immediately.

Rumble...... Fukushima Fort, Motoda, who was standing in front of a cannon, was so angry that he was going crazy. The power of his own cannonballs was too poor, and several times, he obviously saw which ship hit the other party, but the other party just burst into flames, and the other dogs were gone.

Rumble....... Next to him, another artillery shot a cannonball, and Motoda in front of the cannon coughed vigorously and tears flowed down his eyes.

"Damn artillery." Yuan Tian, who cursed a few times, shook his head helplessly, just now he saw that the smoke from the cannonballs was black, black, this is the effect of black powder.

It's over, Yuan Tian, who saw this scene, knew that the cannonballs in the reserve had been fired, and now the cannonballs fired from his own gun position were filled with black powder, this kind of gunpowder, even more powerful, what was even more terrifying was that after this kind of cannonball was fired, he had to wait until the smoke cleared before he could shoot again. How much time will be delayed in between, Motoda doesn't know, but one thing he knows very well is that the Liaodong Navy will definitely shoot at the black smoke at the first time, which is a big disaster.

Yes, how did the smoke turn black, on the battleship Hongzhang, Yan Fu, who had been standing on the bridge to observe, saw black smoke coming out of the mountainside opposite, and his face was puzzled, but after a little stunned, he knew that it must be caused by black powder.

The ammunition was insufficient, and Yan Fu, who snorted coldly, immediately thought of it.

"Commander, the Japanese army fired black powder shells, affecting our army's shooting targets, and the ships sent instructions, requesting how to deal with them?" The first mate walked over and said to Yan Fu, who had already put down the binoculars.

This is a problem, although now the Japanese side is blocked by black smoke and cannot shoot, but now, there is no way to shoot at all, it is very simple, it cannot find a position.

If you can't find a place to open fire, that is to waste shells, Yan Fu, who lowered his head and thought about it a few times, raised the telescope in his hand again, and he suddenly understood something.

"Order, let the ships concentrate their fire first, and as soon as the Japanese open fire, immediately adjust the artillery and aim at the black smoke coming out. Be sure to concentrate the bombing. ”

After the black powder is fired, the black smoke produced is a good target, and this target will clearly point out the position of the Japanese artillery position.

Crunch, the cannon turned, and the Hongzhang's huge twin guns began to turn and aim at the eastern battery.

Rumble...... Three minutes later, a gun emplacement on the opposite side opened fire first, and then a puff of black smoke began to appear.

"Put." When the Liaodong artillerymen, who had been waiting for a long time, saw this situation, they immediately adjusted their gun positions and then issued an artillery order.

Boom........ Boom....... The four 310-mm guns trembled for a while, and then, nearly 50 artillery shells were overwhelmingly smashed into this artillery.

The effect is obvious, although it is not certain whether the destruction has destroyed this artillery, but Yan Fu knows very well that even if this artillery is not blown up, it is impossible for the people above to exist, after all, what he is shooting now is half of the armor-piercing blasting shells, ordinary scattered bullets.

The armor-piercing blast bomb is transferred into the soil and exploded, but the scattered bomb is different, the steel balls and other things inside will scatter hundreds of steel balls at the first time, and the steel balls will enter the human skin under the action of the explosive thrust, and then enter the human skin, playing the effect of being injured.

"Report, the artillery of our position on the left was destroyed." A Japanese soldier whose clothes had been damaged was blown up ran to Motoda's side in a panic and shouted loudly.

What is this, looking for it is an expected problem, the Liaodong Army is now fighting black powder guidance, no official is anyone, as long as the cannon is fired, it will be discovered by the opponent, and then, the cannonballs will pounce like more locusts, and you have no chance to fight back.

There were no shells left, and Motoda, who raised the binoculars, saw that the position on the west side had also begun to shoot black powder, which was very unfavorable to himself.

It's almost dying, Yuan Tian, who took a few deep breaths, lowered his head and thought about it for a while, he felt that he should not be shelling now, but should have a truce, otherwise, the entire battery would be pulled out by the Liaodong Army one by one.

"Order, stop shelling, the whole army is on the spot"

Forced to give an orderIf he had a cannonball in his hand, Motoda would not give such an order, but now, hey, Motoda, who sighed, slapped his body, he hated, why didn't the people above deliver better shells to him, even if it was a hundred.

Drive...... Drive...... A burst of fast horses ran around the city of Fukushima, the people on the horses didn't care about the expressions of the people around them, and they weren't afraid of trampling anyone to death, and moving forward quickly, this person in a black suit was the personnel sent out by Inoue Xin to investigate, and when he hadn't arrived at the Fukushima fort, he got the news from the fishermen running behind, dozens of ships were attacking Fukushima in Liaodong Seascape, and the scouts who got the news were suddenly startled, but he still didn't believe it, so he ran to the vicinity of the fort, Now he believed it, it was true that there were indeed nearly dozens of warships shelling the battery, and after seeing this situation, this scout wanted to rush back to the prime minister's office as soon as possible, and he wanted to tell Inoue Xin that the Liaodong Army had already reached Fukushima.
