Chapter 83 is not spared

Due to the complete paralysis of the command and steering system of the La Perouz, after seeing his warship completely unaware of life and death turning around and facing the ironclad ship opposite, the soldiers and officers who were still awake on several gun positions immediately chose to turn around and jump into the sea.

This round of shelling is a flat shè at an ultra-short distance of 2500m, and the only thing that can affect the degree of shè hitting at this distance is the ups and downs and swaying of the battleship, even if it is aimed directly at the enemy from the barrel, it is estimated that it can hit directly!

The time had come to avenge the death of his compatriots, and with the roar of the guns, the black smoke and fire of the cannonballs slammed down on the cruiser La Perlouse, which was following closely behind the 501 and shelling all the way, which could only be described as stunned.

Because the sudden turn of the La Perlouse was no different from suicide, and in the face of the approaching Qi shè of the 501 ship, the power of the giant cannon was fully displayed.

The first violent explosion was a fire shell that tore the 120mm steel armor on the port side and shè into the bottom of the battery, and the entire gun emplacement weighing 20 tons was directly overturned from the deck, and the fire ignited into the shell under the bomb machine, and ignited the shell, which caused a large explosion at the bottom of the ship, and the French soldiers near the bottom of the shell were swept away!

At the same time, the already burned bridge was hit again, and a group of soldiers who were fighting the fire with hoses were directly engulfed by the huge flames and air currents, as the substructure was destroyed and the bridge of the La Perlouse was completely destroyed. A shell from the rear gun position swept through all the soldiers on the deck, and a large hole in the deck with a diameter of two meters was opened.

However, it was the shell that hit the middle waterline that directly buried the La Perlouse, and after smashing through the thin armor belt, the shell did not explode, but after continuously penetrating the thin iron sheet of the two-story compartment, it rushed directly into the boiler, and after penetrating a fire-tube boiler, it finally completed its mission, and the shrenchnel of the explosion penetrated another boiler, causing a chain explosion.

Everyone saw a violent shock to the hull of the La Perlouse in the distance, and then they heard a very silent "boom" popping sound, and the La Perlouse-class cruiser, the representative of France's latest industrial achievements, broke into two in an instant! Lu Han in the command room took the telescope and watched the successive explosions of the enemy ships in front of him, he finally nodded with satisfaction, 9 rounds of 54 220-kilogram shells, and finally set a record for the first sunk!

"Turn 90 degrees to the right and meet the enemy ship behind at full speed!" Lu Han shouted loudly, such a day of raising his eyebrows...... He stared at the chart, but his mind was surprisingly calm.

The commander of the cruiser Nielli apparently also saw the tragic situation of the battleship La Perlouse in the distance, and at this time only a part of the bow of the ship was still at sea level, but it was immediately swallowed up by the sea.

This is a completely asymmetrical war, before the 501 ship turned, the cruiser Nielli had turned at full speed, heading straight for the flagship Destan, and he had to hold a group in order to maintain his fate of not being broken by each one, but he obviously forgot that the battle group in front of him was also forced to disperse because it was placed under the complete coverage of the 501 ship's firepower, which is really a tangled problem!

The Desdan was plagued by inexplicable problems at this time, and the battle had been going on for almost a while, although the damage management team members worked hard to repair and finally controlled the water inlet on the right side of the rear, but the more than 300 tons of water in the rear compartment made the bow of the ship have been obviously cocked, and as a last resort, Colonel Karlok ordered again to open the water inlet valve in the forward compartment, and after dozens of tons of seawater were poured into the front compartment, the balance of the hull was barely maintained.

However, the effect of the chōu water in the rear cabin was surprisingly poor, the water level could not be lowered, and due to the large amount of flooding, the normal operation of the boiler room in the bottom cabin had been affected, and the speed of the battleship was only now just recovering to a pitiful 10 knots.

And the chase between the Nielli, the La Perlouse and the Qing warship has run out of his field of vision, but the rumbling sound of heavy artillery makes him feel a chill in his heart, this is definitely a demon from hell, today's battle is doomed to fail, but he must bring this news back to Commander Guba, and he must let the Great Qing Kingdom taste the severe consequences of the war with Jiāo, the second largest naval power in the world.

But the idea is good, but the reality is cruel, and after a violent explosion in the distance, Gallok sees the Nielli turning back through the telescope, which makes him realize that the cup has arrived! ,

Soon the Nieli raised the flag, confirming the destruction of the cruiser La Perlouz, and behind him, the diabolical ironclad followed closer, slowly closing the distance between the Nielie, and the bow cannon kept roaring, and the shells of the shells fell near the Nieli from time to time...... The terrifying shè hit jīng degree, which made Colonel Gallok shudder!

At this time, Chen Ying's face was like a bitter melon, starting from the tenth round of artillery bombardment at the beginning of the pursuit, in fourteen minutes, the artillery of the two turrets in the bow of the ship fired 4 rounds of Qi shè with high efficiency, which is definitely the ideal speed that can only be achieved during training! It's just that this hit rate is still a sad goose egg, and there are at least two near-miss bullets observed! Could it be that the super high hits in the first three rounds squandered all his good luck......

And the enemy ship that was withdrawing at full speed had only two rounds of mournful tail guns, anyway, Chen Ying didn't see where the shells landed and didn't know where they flew......

At this time, the No. 1 and No. 2 gun positions shè strike officers reported again that they needed to cool down the gun chambers, so the two sides started to race, Qin Kai can be said to be the most idle member of this battleship, he has been observing the operation of the two groups of shè strike officers, not going up to check the previous shè strike parameters and offset positions.

Although in these rounds of shè hits, they never hit the battleship moving at full speed in front, but in a military sense, the two near-miss shells are almost completely equivalent to hits, and the difference is only related to that little bit of luck, which fully shows the training results of the officers and men of the 501 ship.

To complete the entire process of artillery firing, not only does it require the exact calculation of the command room, but also the perfect performance of the artillerymen, Qin Kai is secretly proud, and the training results of Lu Han and Xu Shoushan in the past half a year are also based on the relative personal qualities of these soldiers.

"Fill the first position!" "Fill second position!" With the report of the gun emplacement, Chen Ying had already given the order to send the shè after loading, and now there is no need to adjust the shè parameters in this situation!

At this time, the distance between the cruiser Nielli and the retreating in front had been nearly reduced to within 4,500 meters, and the two mén guns in the bow immediately roared!

In the 15th round of Qi shè, the artillerymen finally achieved the result, a shell successfully hit the deck next to the aft battery of the enemy ship in front, the cruiser's steel deck of less than 40mm was completely impossible to resist the 220 kg big guy, the shell easily burrowed into the deck, and then exploded through the storage compartment below the deck.

The steel armor on the right side of the cruiser was completely destroyed, and a large amount of food, wine bottles, paper, and wooden box fragments erupted from the huge opening created by the explosion! In the end, the storage room completely turned into a big oven! It seems that the French don't need to prepare dinner, and the guns of the 501 ship have been cooked......

Lu Han was also quite depressed when he saw this result, why didn't he go a little to the side, maybe he just detonated the bomb under the bomb machine! Or raise it a little higher and hit the bridge of the French directly!

The damage crew in the bilge of the Nielli was busy and finally extinguished the fire on the rear side of the ship, and at this time, the entire hull of the Desdan was already in a desperate struggle with the sea in the distance ahead, and the French soldiers on the side of the ship were busy bringing water to the overboard chōu water.

At this time, the damage management team had already discovered the large crack of more than 30 centimeters in the stern of the ship, but this large crack had been submerged at the bottom of the battleship by nearly 300 tons of seawater, and now the chōu water equipment was working at full strength and could only keep the water in the aft compartment slightly starting to decrease.

And the most fatal thing is obviously not the sea water, but the black ironclad ship that followed the cruiser Nielli all the way in front of the left! The training level and super armament shown by the other party were facts that he couldn't believe, but he couldn't believe it, he weighed the situation and quickly made the decision to retreat!

The cruiser Nielli, after suffering from the pursuit of the other side, carried out a pressurized acceleration cào operation, and increased the speed to the limit of 15.5 knots, in this case, it could only travel for a short time, otherwise it would cause serious damage to the steam engine and engine, but at this time it was still possible to take care of these ......

The 501 ship pursued the enemy ship closely, but after four rounds of artillery bombardment, it was never able to make a new achievement, and the Nielli finally sailed next to the flagship Destan, but at this time, it made a mistake of xiǎoxiǎo, the commander of the Nielli was obviously preparing to build an artillery defense line with the flagship, so he chose to make a deceleration right turn, he naturally didn't know that the two main guns on the flagship had already been reimbursed......,

Seeing that the two enemy ships in front of him had converged, Lu Han naturally did not dare to take it lightly, he had already observed that the opponent's flagship seemed to be injured after being hit by two guns, otherwise he would definitely cooperate with the other two enemy ships to outflank, and in fact, it was precisely because of the absence of the opponent's flagship in the center that the 501 ship could easily get the opportunity to open the distance from the Nielli and create a fighter plane that sank the La Peruzz.

The 501 ship turned steadily sideways and aimed at the two French battleships with heavy artillery at a distance of 5 kilometers, and Lu Han and Xu Shoushan stood in the command room and observed for a full minute.

"What is the situation with the flagship of the French? yùshan! Lu Han always felt that the two battleships in front of him were a little strange.

"The first two cannons will definitely be killed, their ship can run to 15 knots, the skin and iron are very thin, and the one that sank will not suffer a few cannons!"

"It's better to press up to 4000m and solve the battle!" Lu Han gave the order.

The two of them are discussing tactics here, Chen Ying is not resting, 5000m is an insurmountable length for the French, but for the cannon with an effective range of 7500 meters on the 501 ironclad ship, it is the time to give full play to his personal ability.

"The first position has a range of 5018m," "The second position has a range of 4980m," the number of guns has been calculated, and soon a new round of shelling parameters has been issued, because the speed of the opponent's flagship has only been reduced from 16 knots in the artillery battle for the first time, which is the most familiar shè attack environment in the training camp......

"The angle of attack is 85 degrees 13 minutes, the elevation angle is 31 degrees 35 minutes, the number of yào packages is 4, the estimated target distance is 5000m, the countdown is 5 seconds, ready!"

The target 5 kilometers away is definitely a time to test their skills, and the smooth sailing hull at this time makes the training camp soldiers who have been completing the enemy shelling in a bumpy environment full of confidence! In such a difficult environment in front of us, we could easily sink a French battleship, and here are two defeated generals...... It's not hand-to-hand yet.

After turning sideways, the No. 3 gun position on the 501 ship, which had been silent for a long time, finally went into battle again, and after hearing the order, the 6 pitch-black gun ports spewed out black smoke and flames, and the projectile pounced on the target in the distance at a speed of more than 640m!

A perfect chain of bullets smashed directly into the horizontal hull of the cruiser Nielli like a whip! Absolutely perfect...... Chen Ying couldn't believe such a result, and hurriedly raised his binoculars to observe the damage on the opponent's battleship!

Stunned, I waited for half a minute, but the enemy ship did not react at all! At this time, the ranging information of the No. 1 and No. 3 gun positions came up, and the three were missing...... The observation of the nearest near-miss bomb is no longer possible to measure the error with a rangefinder! What a lucky thing it was, the shells landed close to the opponent's hull at a distance of seventy or eighty meters, and none of them hit the hull.

"Is it loaded?" Chen Ying was obviously depressed, but at this time, the battleship had already changed course and continued to shorten the distance with the enemy ship, and Lu Han was obviously unwilling to spend cannonballs on this distance!

However, although it was three near-misses, the cruiser Nielli was indeed damaged! A near-missable bomb of about 10 meters on the right side caused the steel armor near the Yào compartment of the Nielli bomb to leak, and the bilge was in a mess! The other one, which was only two meters away from the left chord of the ship, was nearly two meters away, and the tremendous pressure caused by the impact of the explosion of the shell directly tore the steel plate under the waterline, and immediately formed three large cracks of more than 50 centimeters.

This location was the Nieli's coal storage tank, which was immediately filled to the brim with the sea, and this qiē was not discovered by the bilge damage control team until a few minutes later, when the ship tilted to the left.

Colonel Gallok had no idea of defeating the enemy at this time, he had already hoisted the flag, and the two battleships were constantly retreating, and they were shelling each other to cover each other, and constantly changing the speed and direction of the battleship to avoid the opponent's blows. This is the only way he can think of it, and now it seems that only God can bless him!

Seeing the change in the opponent's U-turn and speed, Lu Han had fully understood the opponent's retreat, "Order, follow closely, and attack from behind!" "This was originally the way for the French to deal with Liu Shen's fleet in front, and Lu Han actually made a ghost to send a god, although we have an advantage everywhere, Supervisor Qin has already said that if you fall behind, you will be beaten! What a super big vernacular!

For two target ships that are constantly changing their order and protecting each other, but only have a speed of 10 knots, for Chen Ying, the so-called changing routes and maneuvering evasion of the other party have become no suspense in the bullet chain strike! Although after nearly 20 rounds of shè bombardment, the artillerymen were raised and did not feel fatigue at all, and the thrill of battle made them completely ignore a qiē fatigue. ,

Another 2 minutes and 30 seconds, in the actual combat to show the reload efficiency of training, this is the real efficiency, the 21st round Qi shè roared again...... This time, the target is locked on the Niele, after all, the flagship has been severely damaged, and this battleship still has the combat power of Xiǎo!

It's another beautiful elastic chain, but it's a pity that the position is not accurate, and it is too much! The French 190mm tail gun still has the potential to pose a threat at a distance of 4000m! Sure enough, in the counterattack of the French, a shell landed 10 meters to the right of the bow of the 501 ship - a close miss.

"Order, the bilge quickly goes to the bow position to check the damage!" Xu Shoushan has always loved ships like home, even if it is the other party's cannonball, he still takes special care of it.

Soon, the corrected firing parameters once again created a perfect result, and the 22nd round of artillery platoons, the chain of bullets once again penetrated the hull of the Nieli, and this time, the god of luck could no longer favor it......

A cannonball hit the deck on the port side and drilled directly into the bilge below, and when several French soldiers who were pushing the shèyào bag with a xiǎo cart heard the piercing sound of steel rubbing overhead, they were shocked to find a black thing smashed directly in front of them, which is undoubtedly a shocking and unacceptable fact!

The violent explosion of the cannonball and the double chain of hair shèyào, the impact bō swept a qiē object in the field of vision of the bilge, and the thin steel plate of the cabin was immediately twisted and torn, and the steel plate between the second deck and the bilge was also cracked several pieces, but the most serious thing was that the shell opened a huge hole in place 50 centimeters wide and about two meters long.

In just 3 minutes, hundreds of tons of water were poured into the rear compartment, and the seawater was quickly poured down the passage leading to the bomb cabin, and the damage management team members who went to the emergency repair could not rush into the turbulent rear cabin, and watched the water level of the bilge overflow to the second floor of the cabin in a few minutes!
