Chapter Ninety-Four: Battleship Duel V
In particular, after the captain of the Brave, Van Gossey, saw through the binoculars that the Don Man had opened fire, and the strong recoil force caused several sailors on the deck to fall on the deck, Van Gosy couldn't help but laugh. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Ha ha! "Humph! With such qualities alone, the Chinese Navy wants to go to war with our great Dutch kingdom? Shooting from such a distance, these Chinese people really haven't been on the battlefield! ”
"Full speed ahead, close the distance, and let them see the real artillery battle at sea!" The captain of the Brave, Colonel Van Gossey, ordered with a somewhat disdainful smile.
About half a minute later, six shells smashed into the sea more than 600 meters away from the brave one, exploding columns of water that soared into the sky. Although the explosion of the shells was very powerful, it did not frighten the Dutch officers and men on the Brave.
"Are they frying fish?" The Dutch naval officers and men, when they saw such a scene, laughed one after another.
After seeing the impact point through the binoculars, the gunners of the Tang Ren Battle Patrol quickly calculated in their hearts and adjusted them according to the impact points.
"Adjust the position of the shelling, raise it by 0.6! Left 0.8! "The gunners on the Don Man made calculations and conveyed the order.
When the gunners heard this, they began to adjust their guns excitedly and quickly, and almost a minute later, the Tangren opened fire again.
Rumble! Rumble! The dull sound of the cannon rang out again, and the muzzle of the cannon once again shone with this orange-red flame. There was no salvo fire, but only four main guns.
The Tang Ren fired this time, but it still didn't hit the Brave, but the impact point was only about 150 meters away from the Brave.
Captain Li Fang did not get angry because he failed to hit the enemy in two shots, but motioned to the gunners with an encouraging smile to continue. Li Fang knew that although the naval guns on the Tang Ren were very advanced and were assisted by fire control and aiming radar, it seemed unrealistic to want to hit an enemy ship with only one or two rounds of shelling.
When the captain of the Don Man saw the captain's encouraging eyes, he saw her take a deep breath, and then, she quickly calculated the point of impact in her heart.
After another adjustment, the Don made a third round of shelling, but still did not hit the Brave, but the Dutch Navy on the Brave could not laugh. Because after several rounds of shelling, as the impact point of the bullet was getting closer and closer to the Brave, the nearest shot was only 30 meters away from the Brave, and the violent explosion of the shells splashed water, and even drenched some of the naval soldiers on the Brave.
The captain of the Brave, Van Gossey, could no longer see a trace of ridicule on his face, but stared at the battleship Tangren with a serious face through the telescope. Van Goosy was shocked, but he was also worried that the powerful, eyeless shell of the Donman would land on the cruiser Brave. With the power of artillery shells, his own cruiser with a displacement of more than 3,000 tons will be finished with only three or four rounds. Say not worried, that's fake.
"Oh God! How is this possible? With a distance of more than 10,000 meters, the Huaxia Navy was able to play such a high accuracy rate, is it a coincidence, or is it the real strength of the Huaxia people? Van Gosse's adjutant looked shocked.
He was equally shocked by Captain Van Gosy and all the Dutch officers and sailors of the Brave, but these Dutch officers and sailors preferred to believe that it was nothing more than a coincidence that the blind cat of the Chinese Navy had met a dead mouse. They were even more convinced that the well-trained Dutch navy fought against each other
"Sisters! Very nice, do it again! Cluck! Li Fang put down the binoculars in his hand and said excitedly. For the Huaxia Navy, which has never been on the battlefield, it is indeed very good to be able to achieve such an effect in a few rounds of shelling. Li Fang was full of confidence in her heart, believing that one or two more rounds of shelling would definitely be able to send the Dutchman's Brave to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.
From the officers to the ordinary soldiers, after hearing the captain's encouragement, they became excited one by one, worked harder, and seemed to be more agile in their hands and feet.
"Fire!" At 2:16 p.m., the Don carried out the fifth round of shelling. This time, the gunner did not disappoint Li Fang. One of the six powerful shells accurately hit the deck of the Dutch Navy Brave.
The shells exploded violently, blowing a large hole in the foredeck of the Valiant, and the Dutch soldiers on the deck suffered heavy casualties. However, after the Brave was hit by a shell, it did not seem to cause fatal damage, and it did not affect the rest of the battle at all.
"Sisters, beat the Dutchmen to death!" Li Fang almost jumped up excitedly. This was his first battle as the captain of the Don, and he didn't expect to hit the enemy ship so quickly. Although only a pitiful shell was hit, it did not inflict fatal damage on the enemy ship. But Li Fang believes that as time goes by, the next sixth and seventh rounds of shelling will definitely send the Dutchman's Brave to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.
Next, all the officers and men on the Don Man were excited, and it was also the time when the Tang Man was in full swing, and the six huge cannons launched a fierce bombardment of the Dutch Brave. A large number of cannonballs exploded around the Brave, and the powerful cannonballs exploded into columns of water that soared into the sky, and then fell violently on the surface of the sea, as if forming artificial waterfalls.
"Fight back! Fight back! For a moment, the entire Dutch Navy of the Brave was in chaos, and the officers and men seemed to be unable to believe that their battleship had been hit. Most of the Dutch naval officers and sailors believed that the cowardly Chinese, in the face of the strong Dutch navy, were definitely not the great Dutch naval opponents. However, after the Valiant was hit, it made them completely unbelievable!
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Although the officers and men of the Dutch Navy's East India Fleet Brave were taken aback and even a little panicked, the good qualities of the old colonial empire of the Dutch Navy were immediately displayed, and although they were panicked, they were not completely chaotic.
After the captain shouted at the top of his voice and ordered a return fire, the four main guns on the Brave opened fire one after another. In fact, before this, the Brave was ready for battle, all the shells were loaded, and after the battle order was issued, it could be fired immediately!
The commander of the cruiser Loja was shocked when he saw that the Brave had been shot, but the captain also decisively gave the order to shell the Don.
Although the captain of the Loja knew that it would be quite difficult to hit the opponent at a distance of more than 10,000 meters, the captain did not want to give up, hoping that God would favor the heroic Dutch soldiers.
