Chapter 294: Beat Their Eggs!
Ruan Dacheng was originally a member of the Donglin Party, but later found that the Eunuch Party was powerful, so he took refuge in the Eunuch Party, fought against the Donglin Party, and became an anti-Donglin model. After Chongzhen came to power, he found that the general trend of the eunuch party had gone, so he exposed the crimes of the eunuch party to Chongzhen, trying to gain Chongzhen's favor, but Chongzhen was not fooled. At the same time, he befriended the Donglin Party and tried to reintegrate into the Donglin Party, but was rejected by the Donglin Party. The people of the restored society hated him even more. However, he has always been through Wen Tiren's path and made his career again.
In the absence of Song Degang, the chief soldier of Denglai, the person who is qualified to command the Dengzhou Naval Division is, of course, the governor of Denglai, Ruan Dacheng. Thinking of Ruan Dacheng's recent movements, Zhang Zhun seemed to smell a strong smell of gunpowder. It seems that Ruan Dacheng is going to test his strength to see if there is a chance to cut himself to the roots. Sure enough, those who come are not good, and those who are good are not coming.
I thought that there would be a three-month honeymoon period between myself and the government, and I would not turn my face until the beginning of spring next year. Unexpectedly, others think that even three months is too long, and now they can't wait to do it. The Dengzhou Naval Division dispatched first, didn't he bully himself for not having a naval fleet? Fortunately, he took precautions and got three heavily armed Cangshan boats to come out.
It is not yet known who killed the deer.
A moment later, three gray-white dots appeared in Zhang Zhun's clairvoyant mirror. The white dots slowly evolved into ships. It was the warships of the three Dengzhou naval divisions. One No. 2 Fukushi, two No. 3 Fuku.
The warships of the Daming Naval Division are distinguished by their numbers. Among them, Fukubune is divided into four grades according to their size. The largest is No. 1, 500 materials. The smallest is No. 4 (i.e., the Haicang ship), a hundred materials. The No. 2 Fukusho is about 300 materials (displacement of about 300 tons), and the No. 3 Fukufu is about 200 materials (displacement of 200 tons).
If the information is not mistaken, the No. 2 and No. 3 ships are equipped with Francophone cannons, and there are no red-coat cannons. Only the No. 1 Fu ship was equipped with a redcoat cannon. The absence of the red-clothed cannon made Zhang Zhun breathe a sigh of relief. Thinking of the range and power of the red-clothed cannon, Zhang Zhun was still a little jealous. It's not a level of combat at all!
His three Cangshan ships have all just been launched, and the naval soldiers on board have not yet received comprehensive training and have not really formed combat effectiveness. If the enemy has a redcoat cannon, it will have a serious impact on their morale. However, both sides are Franc machine artillery, so it doesn't matter. In the case of basically the same weapons, even if they are not trained, they are not afraid of each other. Zhang Zhuncai didn't believe that the training of the Dengzhou sailors could be excellent.
Soon after, the three warships of the Dengzhou Navy Division also discovered Zhang Zhun's existence. They slowed down and pointed their port side at them. The barrel of the black hole sticks out of the muzzle. Among them, the No. 2 fortune ship was soon hung with a red flag. The other two No. 3 Fu ships tried to surround Zhang Zhun and them from the left and right wings.
The meaning of the flag: the ship in front, immediately come over and be inspected!
Zhou Zhengyu frowned and said, "The Dengzhou Sailor wants us to lean over and be inspected. ”
Zhang Zhun said coldly: "Leave him alone. Send a signal to warn them that this is our sea and they are not allowed to come close! I want them to leave quickly! ”
Zhou Zhengyu immediately arranged the flag.
Soon, the Dengzhou Sailor responded.
"Tom!"
There was a loud bang, and it turned out to be the largest lucky ship that opened fire.
"Poof!"
Spherical shells swept across the sky and smashed hard in front of a Cangshan ship, splashing high waves. Obviously, it was a warning, but also a demonstration.
"They fired!" Zhou Zhengyu frowned indignantly.
"Shoot back!" Zhang Zhun said without hesitation.
Zhou Zhengyu quickly passed the order out.
Zhang Zhun held the clairvoyant mirror, observing the lucky boat that was still emitting white smoke, and smiled coldly in his heart. Dengzhou Sailor is really not good, and if the good person does not come, if he doesn't agree, he will ...... Artillery fire. If it weren't for the fact that I had a cannon myself, I would have really retreated. But now...... You have a cannon, I also have a cannon, then it depends on who is arrogant!
"Tom! Tong! Tong! ”
But it was the No. 3 Cangshan ship that fired first.
The commander of the No. 3 Cangshan ship is a typical stunned Qing, Zhang Zhun still remembers his name, called Cheng Lei, a person from Zhaojiatun. Compared to the other two captains, Liu Sheng and Wang He, he is definitely a typical example of rushing and fighting. He was promoted to captain because of his desperate Saburo's energy. No, as soon as Zhang Zhun's order was hoisted, three solid bullets were immediately fired over there, and they swept out a straight trajectory in mid-air and smashed towards the Fu boat in the distance. Of course, they didn't hit, and all of them fell into the nearby sea.
The distance between the two sides is about a kilometer. At such a distance, the hit rate of a solid bullet is naturally extremely low. If you can hit, it is not that you are too lucky, but that the enemy ship is too unlucky. However, the solid bullet fell into the sea and splashed enough to cause tension in the Dengzhou sailors. They fired one shot, but the other side responded with three shots! What is it? This is a warning, but also a demonstration!
Counterattack!
The other party actually fought back!
Although the Dengzhou Sailors are not good, and there is basically no existence of them in historical records, but on this sea in Shandong, they have never met a real opponent. The main tasks of the Dengzhou Naval Division in peacetime were to inspect the fleets coming and going in the Bohai Sea, to receive the refugees who had escaped from Liaodong, to transport supplies to Dongjiang Town, and to prevent any strategic materials from flowing into the area controlled by the Tartars. In the Bohai region, apart from the Tianjin Naval Division, there are no other water forces at all. The Tartars themselves have no sailors, and the pirates in the south have no interest in intervening in the waters of the Bohai Sea, so how can they have opponents?
Therefore, in his own one-third of an acre of land, the son of the Dengzhou Sailor is also living a nourishing life. Although there are constantly people who want to cancel the water division, the future is not optimistic. However, it's not really canceled yet! Since they have not been canceled, they are still invincible in the world. Occasionally, they appear in the Yellow Sea, intercept passing merchant ships, extort some extra money, and there will be no fighting. How could a merchant ship fight a regular sailor? Unexpectedly, today's opponent, instead of listening to the warning, also blatantly counterattacked!
The commander of this naval fleet was Guo Lin, the general of the Dengzhou Naval Division. According to the establishment, the Dengzhou Naval Division has a commander, the Admiral of the Naval Division of the Second Grade, which is under the jurisdiction of the Denglai General Army. There are also two generals below the Admiral. Guo Lin is one of them. In fact, the Admiral of the Dengzhou Naval Division has always been the chief soldier of Denglai, so the two generals have become the de facto supreme commanders of the Dengzhou Naval Division. Guo Lin led the army here, which was completely on Ruan Dacheng's orders.
Song Degang, the commander-in-chief of Denglai and the commander of the Dengzhou Naval Division, had already led the army to leave Dengzhou Mansion and go to Yanzhou Mansion to participate in military affairs. As a result, the Dengzhou Navy Division was directly under the command of Ruan Dacheng, the governor of Denglai, for the time being. Ruan Dacheng wanted to use the Dengzhou Sailor to test Zhang Zhun to see if there was a chance to break through from the sea. Guo Lin wanted to show his merit to Ruan Dacheng, and after accepting the order, he hurriedly took three warships south.
"Fire!"
"Sink them!"
Guo Lin shouted angrily.
Some mosquito-sized warships actually dared to shoot at the Dengzhou Naval Division, isn't this looking for death? You can play majestic on land, but on the sea, you are not enough to see! Do you think your opponent is a three-legged pirate? We are regular Daming water masters! Any boat in Dengzhou Sailor will be several times larger than your mosquito boat!
The order was quickly passed on.
"Tom tom!"
"Tom tom!"
"Tom tom!"
The three ships opened fire in unison.
In an instant, a ball of fire, and the surroundings of the three lucky ships continued to shine. The smoke from the shells turned into layers of white mist under the action of water vapor. The white fog is filled, and it is difficult for the sea breeze to blow away completely, which seriously affects the line of sight. As a result, the three ships had to continue to move southeast, on the one hand to avoid the white fog, and on the other hand, to use their starboard side, to continue shelling the enemy ships.
After all, it is a regular naval fleet, and there is still a little foundation. At first, they used the same solid bullets. The first wave of salvos was still decent. One by one, spherical shells continued to sweep across the sea and landed near the Cangshan boat, smashing up strings of water columns. At such a distance, if you want to hit, it all depends on God's luck. Therefore, no one thinks there is anything wrong with it.
"Tom tom!"
"Tom tom!"
On Zhang Zhun's side, the other two Cangshan ships also fired.
Compared with Cheng Lei, although Liu Sheng and Wang He are not so impulsive, they are not the ones who are afraid of things. In the initial stage of the navy, Zhang Zhun needed a breath of energy, and he needed a spirit to bring out the morale of the entire fleet, so the captains he selected were all relatively strong characters. To put it simply, it is not afraid of death, and it will never retreat.
The sailors of the Navy, on the first day out at sea, encountered such a battle, of course, some of them were in a hurry. This is a real battle, not training, not a drill, it is a death story. You can't ask every fighter to be as fearless as Rambo when he first enters the battlefield. The process of adapting to death takes time.
Some soldiers who were very frightened when they first entered the battlefield were more brave and fearless of death than others after adapting to this process. Zhang Zhun has been a non-commissioned officer for eight years and has trained countless recruits, so he naturally knows this best. Therefore, the three captains he selected were able to help the soldiers adapt to the process as quickly as possible.
Sure enough, under the constant shouting of the three captains, the expressions of the naval soldiers, although they were all a little nervous and a little excited, as for what they were afraid of, they forgot for the time being. No, if you don't forget. If you don't forget, you will have to die together with everyone.
The Navy and the Army are different. If the army finds that something is wrong, it can still run, and wherever there are few people, it will run to wherever there are fewer people. Maybe you can escape. However, the Navy cannot. The Navy is just one ship, where can you hide? If the ship is sunk and everyone falls into the sea, it will be a dead end after all. Therefore, the only way to survive is to go up together and defeat the enemy first. Otherwise, it's all about one piece.
"Swear to live and die with warships" is not only a heroic slogan, not only the deep affection between seafarers and warships, but also has a scientific basis. On the sea, the safest place is definitely on top of a warship. Unless the warship is completely sunk. Therefore, if you want to survive, you must first ensure that the warship survives. If the warship is knocked down, the chances of the personnel surviving are quite low.
"Hit!"
"Hit hard!"
"Beat their eggs!"
"Brothers, use your strength to grab her and take off her skirt!"
Wang He's shouting was absolutely vulgar, and there were many swear words. To the ears of civilized people, it is absolutely unbearable. But to the ears of the sailors, it was a family voice, and it was very cordial.
It is impossible to expect rude sailors to use civilized language, and Zhang Zhun does not have such skills. Even in later generations, in a relatively closed and readable area like a warship, everyone was overflowing with swearing. What you see in TV and movies is artistically processed. Because, there can be no woman on the warship. Even if there were, it would be absolutely alternative. Since there are no women, the topic of female surnames has become a common hobby of everyone, and has evolved into a unique warship culture.
The words "take off her skirt" have a special meaning on warships, that is, to knock down the sails of enemy ships. In naval battles, the best luck is a solid bullet that hits the mast of an enemy ship directly. If there is such good luck, the mast of the enemy ship will be broken in its entirety. In fact, such a hit rate is basically the same as shooting at the moon.
Sure enough, three solid bullets also smashed less than twenty feet near the Fu boat, splashing a high column of water. The other three solid bullets are even shorter from the position of the Fufu. However, none of them hit. Since it was missed, it was impossible to inflict any physical damage on the enemy ship. Of course, there is still a certain intimidation effect.
"General, there are a lot of enemy cannons!"
There was a sailor Qianzong, who whispered beside Guo Lin.
Even if they were incompetent, after a shelling, it was calculated that on the enemy's side, at least nine cannons were firing continuously. On the side of the Dengzhou Naval Division, there are more than ten cannons, which occupy a certain advantage in terms of quantity. However, this advantage is obviously less obvious. Moreover, judging from the salvo effect just now, it seems that the shells of the enemy ships are closer to the target.
"Hit!"
"Hit hard!"
"It must be Zhang Zhun's person!"
"You must teach him a hard lesson!"
"You go and shoot them yourself, you must knock them out!"
Guo Lin's face was gloomy, his eyes were fierce, as if he had been provoked by a wild wolf, and said fiercely.
