Chapter 82: The Ironclad Ship's Solitary Dance

The huge explosion at the front of the ironclad fort not only caused the Desdan to lose more than a dozen artillerymen, but even more fatally the two mén 200mm main guns were completely wasted because the lifting machine was destroyed by the hair shèyào bag, and no one could put more than 100 kilograms of shells from the bottom bilge into the barrel!

The impact of the explosion also made the bridge a mess, Colonel Gallok was dripping with the fragrant Blue Mountain coffee on the original table, and his military hat was nowhere to be seen, but at this time he didn't have the heart to care about this, "Sikov, Sikov!" Hurry up and find out the damage! ”

Seeing the high flames rising from the main gun position of the target battleship, the officers and men on the 501 ship excitedly clenched their fists to each other, and then continued to plunge into the tense battle!

"Gengtang, they want to outflank each other, bī let's fight in close combat!" Xu Shoushan put down the binoculars and said with a faint smile.

"I can't do it!" Lu Han laughed, and at this time he remembered to make Chen Ying's joke, "Today is to make Chen Ying's xiǎo son shine again!" Back to the ponytail, you have to pay a good respect to this guy and make him ugly! ”

Chen Yingke is one of the few officers in the training camp who does not drink alcohol, and this is also the xiǎo braid he has been ridiculed by the two pipe bands! Hearing Lu Han's words, Chen Ying actually shouted: "Old Lu, if I settle these boats, if you don't invite me when I go back, I will also celebrate and not get drunk for a while!" "Okay, immediately the cat will come into the house and release the next round of shè parameters!

The Nielli and La Perlouse obviously saw the tragic situation of the Destan as well, but their goal at this time was clear, they had to flank each other from both flanks, and then use the advantage in the number of guns to beat the ironclad ship to death! So they immediately outflanked both wings without hesitation!

If the 501 continued to maintain its current direction, it was obvious that it would soon be close to the cruiser La Perluz, which was rushing straight over, and the other Nielli would rush to the flank and rear to besiege, and the Desdan in the center should be brought up to give the other side a blow.

It's just that these are just Colonel Carroque's envisioned plans, and Lu Han pointed to the cruiser La Perouse that rushed ahead, "Order, turn 30 degrees to the left and meet the cruiser in front at full speed!" ”

The 501 ship's Xiǎo angle turned left and sailed, quickly pulling away the Nielli who was trying to flank from behind, while La Perlouz, who was rushing straight forward, successfully shortened the distance between him and the 501 ship, Lieutenant Commander Dick looked at the ironclad ship that was getting closer and closer in front of him, he couldn't help but exclaim, this battleship is definitely an epoch-making work of art, especially the 6 identical twin cannons!

This time it was La Perlouse that fired first, he was the bow facing the 501 ship, due to the shè angle of the attack, the tail gun could not participate in the attack at this time, the 200mm cannon in the bow of the black smoke and flames rose, and the power was amazing, but at this time at a speed of 15 knots, the hull of more than 2,000 tons rose and fell sharply, if it was said that the gun was aimed before it was fired, even the commander Lieutenant Commander Dick did not believe it, and both shells were directly smashed at a position about 700m away from the 501 ship.

Since the 501 ship only turned left and advanced at a xiǎo angle, directly blocking the forward channel of the cruiser La Perouse, maintaining the best "D" shape against the enemy, and the shè strike angle of the forward turret reached 270 degrees, so even in the situation of the xiǎo arc turn, it was already able to use all the firepower against the La Perlouse, and at this time, the Nielli and the Desdan with the flaming bow had turned out of the shè boundary of the front guns.

Chen Ying stared at the optical sight with a flushed face, and looked at the number table on the table from time to time, due to the turning, the interval between this shè strikes was extended to 5 minutes, but this time the enemy had already rushed to a distance of 3300m, and at this distance he had achieved a perfect miracle result of 6 shots, but at this time, the enemy's bow was facing him, and the area of this shè attack was xiǎo xiǎo......

"1, 2 gun emplacements, angle 330 degrees 11 minutes, No. 3 gun position angle negative value 330 degrees 40 minutes! The elevation angle is 27 degrees and 18 minutes, the number of yào packages is 4, the estimated target distance is 3100m, and the countdown is 5 seconds, "Chen Ying loudly issued the shè attack parameters! He is full of confidence and wants to give the other party a big surprise!

3-2-1, the hull shook violently, and the officers in the cockpit felt that the entire bridge shook violently! Our own cannon Qi shè is really amazing! Lu Han scratched his head, but he didn't understand the situation, thinking to himself, this bridge still doesn't look strong enough, and he will discuss this matter with the superintendent when he goes back!

And Chen Ying's table xiàn can be described as super brave today, Qi shè's cannonball once again hit the La Perlouse that rushed up quickly to intercept, and two rounds of three shè hits, this is definitely his best result in the year of playing artillery, and it was achieved in actual combat, which is even more commendable. ,

However, this time the hit did not cause fatal injuries to the enemy ship, a cannonball hit the front deck of the La Perlouse very accurately, and the huge kinetic energy immediately shattered the 70mm deck steel surface, and crashed into the rest cabin of the damage management personnel below the deck, and the flying steel pieces immediately killed seven or eight loss management personnel, and then very NB drilled into a closed storage room on the left side, and finally hit the right chord steel plate, and an explosion occurred.

It's just that this position is in the armor belt of the right chord of the ship, and it actually plays any role except for tearing a large dòng of one meter! Even this big dòng is still more than 1 meter away from the waterline, and it doesn't seem to have any effect except for ventilation!

And this round of shelling apparently woke up Lieutenant Colonel Dick of the La Perlouse! The damage report reported by the officer frightened him a lot, as long as the position was two feet off, it directly hit the bomb machine, and there was a bullet library in the back, although the bullet library was a reinforced 250mm steel plate, whether it could resist the heavy artillery with a distance of more than 7 kilometers, it was really hard to say! The other party hit this cannon ...... He immediately changed his consciousness of frontal interception and bayonet fighting, the distance of three thousand meters was too dangerous!

Just when Chen Ying was disappointed that he had not been able to achieve the grand slam on the battlefield, the guards at the entrance of Mén suddenly rushed in and reported: "Pipe band, the middle gun behind the bridge was hit by the enemy ship behind!" ”

This news startled everyone, and immediately two officers ran out to inspect the damage, and came back after half a minute to report, "The pipe belt, the armor belt behind the command room of the bridge on the right side was hit by a 200mm or so shell, but only a black sè mark of the explosion was left, and even ...... There are no cracks in the steel armor! "Everyone had a false alarm, it turned out that the shaking of the bridge just now was flattened.

Lu Han turned his binoculars and looked at the enemy ships that were chasing behind him, this distance must be more than 4 kilometers, and he could concentrate the bridge with one shot...... It seems that the French still have two tricks! Don't take it lightly," ordered, turning to the right at full speed to maintain a "D" posture with the target ship! Widen the distance between you and the enemy ships behind! ”

"The artillery is being loaded ......" The officer in the command room reported the situation of each gun position in an orderly manner all day long, Chen Ying was observing the cruiser La Perouse on the right, and the failure to make a single shot at a distance of 3100 meters just now obviously aroused the vigilance of the other party, at this time the enemy ship began to deviate diagonally, and from this angle, the enemy ship's shè impact surface also looked very xiǎo! It can be seen that the other party is obviously very familiar with naval warfare.

After the La Perlouse completed its side turn and opened the distance, the 190mm tail gun did not forget to return a shell, this time it was not a big deviation, and landed in the sea 200m away on the right side of the 501 ship.

Lieutenant Commander Dick also apparently wanted to play a big trick, and after he was driving sideways, if the 501 also turned around and pursued, it was bound to be quickly approached by the Nielli on the other side, and occupy the top of the T-shaped position to attack. It's just that he didn't know at the moment that the captain of the Nielli had just been depressed, and that magic cannonball, which could have killed the enemy commander, had turned into a salute shell on the bridge...... In the high-speed propulsion, more than 4,000 meters away, in one shot, for the French artillery, it is almost the probability of winning the lottery!

Xu Shoushan took the telescope and saw the movement of the La Perouse, and also laughed, "This Frenchman is really interesting, he rushed up and suffered a little loss, and immediately turned around and ran, it was really slippery!"

Qin Kai didn't feel at ease at this time at all Thinking that in this battle, the armor, speed, and artillery were completely superior to the enemy, with Lu Han and Xu Shoushan's jīng Ming, he didn't need his own hands at all, he stayed in the shè command room with great interest, watching the two groups of busy shè strike officers, this is the place in charge of the god of war.

The battleship quickly cut into the arc of foreign aid, and Lu Han's meaning was very clear, on the 4000-4500 meter process, use the fire course of our artillery and platoon artillery to bury the enemy into the sea, a perfect victory! is worthy of today's ironclad show!

At this time, as the flagship of the French army, the Destan was depressed and about to hang himself, the front main gun was the 220-kilogram bomb that hit directly, and I didn't know what was filled in it, and the two mén main guns that were completely destroyed, the soldiers who were in charge of the repair made it clear that they could only tow it back to the base for maintenance, and what was even worse was a shot at the waterline on the rear side of the ship, which caused a large amount of seawater to pour in, and the battleship obviously tilted to the right.

Colonel Carrok urgently ordered to open the left water inlet at the back and pour at least 100 tons of water into the left position, so as to barely keep the battleship from capsizing, and all the damage management team members had already rushed to the rear compartment to repair the damaged port, but now there was another problem, if the battleship was not stopped immediately, the big dòng located near the waterline would accelerate the backflow of seawater, and it would not be possible to continue to fill the left cabin with water at that time. ,

After much consideration, Colonel Gallok decided to move at a minimum speed of 4 knots, after all, once the boiler was extinguished, it would be impossible to raise the fire and pressurize it, and if that damn ironclad ship came over, it would be a place to die! It's just that...... Colonel Gallok didn't expect that there was a crack at the bottom of the aft compartment that would kill him......

The 501 ship officially entered the battle, and it has only been more than 20 minutes now, and both sides are desperately trying to occupy a favorable position, but this time, the French Navy, which has always ravaged local sailing ships in Africa and Asia, has finally encountered an opponent who restrains them everywhere!

At this time, with a speed of 16 knots, the 501 ship had once again extended the distance between it and the Nieli, and successfully formed a parallel situation with the La Perlouse, and the guns of both sides invariably let out another roar!

The high-speed movement caused the hull to rise and fall on the bōlàng, and Yan zhòng affected the jīng degree of shè hitting, which even though Chen Ying gave full play to the shè combat experience he had mastered during training, but this round of Qi shè still all missed the target, and only one shell was observed! Falling about 20 meters in front of the enemy warship, it is not known whether it will cause damage or not.

The next round of shè shots came from the 120 guns on the side chord of the La Perlouse, apparently the French had some inclination to rush to the hospital, and the 120mm caliber guns of this era used fixed fire, shè range of up to 2000 meters, and now the distance between the twin engines is about 4000m...... Seeing this, Lu Han also smiled inexplicably!

The artillerymen in the turret were nervously loading, and Chen Mo didn't have a chance to go to the rangefinder at this time, but he saw that he had found some mén now, and he was quite excited, but he always had a question in his heart, "I don't know how the French shelled?" Known as the world's second largest naval power, I don't know what is there! At this time, seeing that the artillery was loaded, he picked up the microphone and reported loudly: "The No. 1 position is loaded!" ”

Tang Qingshan, who was on the side, observed the enemy ship in the distance and muttered about the new artillery firing parameters, and the soldier shook the hydraulic gear transmission device to quickly adjust the angle of the artillery! Of course, this was his estimation, not that it was conveyed by the shè strike command room.

However, this time the shè attack command room did not release new shè attack parameters, which means that the shè attack is still carried out according to the parameters of the previous time, which makes Tang Qingshan a little depressed, and after quick adjustment, the 501 ship is once again ahead of the enemy ship and bursts out of a steel storm! The smoke from the muzzle of the cannon instantly obscured the entire field of vision, but the oncoming sea breeze at high speed quickly blew away the smoke outside the barrel......

A few seconds later, Tang Qingshan read out the result of this round of shè attacks, "Offset the enemy ship 70 by 20 meters!" Chen Mo hurriedly recorded it, this was Tang Qingshan's special care, saying that the number of each cannon had to be carefully recorded, and after it was sent to the Artillery Bureau, it would be of great use in the future! What is the specific use, Chen Mo only vaguely understands that it must have something to do with shè strike......

After the third round of shè attacks, Chen Ying's front Shen Yong seemed to be gone, but no one would blame him, and anyone with a little common sense would understand how difficult it was to hit the enemy in this kind of high-speed pursuit! However, Lu Han did not mean to urge at all, he pointed to the landing point of the three shells that the La Perouse had tried to should, and the error of the ironclad ship was at least 500 meters.

Soon, the sixth round of shelling was still the first to be launched by the 501 ship, and the entire loading and aiming time seemed to have completely entered an orderly state, only 2 minutes and 30 seconds later, according to Chen Ying's correction of the new shè attack parameters, the 6mén cannon roared again!

Lu Han held a high-powered telescope and looked at a straight lànghuā chain of cannonballs falling in the distance, although he still found nothing, but such a shè hit was really full of beauty! As long as the target is hit by this beautiful lànghuā chain, it means that the end of the enemy is coming!

He turned his binoculars, and in the distance, another French battleship was desperately chasing, but he was very skillful in controlling the distance between the two sides, although the battleship fired at least 3 rounds of shells, but like the magical cannonball that hit the bridge in front, it is estimated that hundreds of cannons may not be able to hit a big luck!

"One assembly is complete!" "The second assembly is complete!" "Three assembles are complete!" The efficiency of the artillery group is getting faster and faster, showing that the soldiers are becoming more and more courageous at this time!

"Hair shè!" With Chen Ying's roar, the seventh round of artillery bombardment was actually ahead of the opponent's sixth round, which fully demonstrated the excellent training results of the soldiers of the 501 ship! This seventh round of shelling finally made Chen Ying breathe a sigh of relief, and a fiery red fresh huā burst open on the bridge of the La Perouse in the distance. ,

This shell can be described as a blockbuster, the projectile that roared down from the air easily penetrated the 180mm reinforcing steel plate on the perimeter of the outer bridge, and then penetrated the double 70mm steel plate between the top command room and the lower cockpit, and there was an explosion between the magical steel plates. Torn steel plates and fragments of bombs swept across the cockpit and command cabin, and Lieutenant Colonel Dick, his staff officers, adjutants, and the first and second officers of the warship were all swept to the ground by the fragments, and they were killed on the spot! At the same time, a raging fire broke out on the bridge.

And the first mate who was swept down was still lying on the rudder when he was dying, so the battleship turned in a direction and accelerated towards the 501 ship!

"The first gun position reports, 5 rounds of shè fire are completed, and the gun chamber is overheated!" At this time, the No. 1 artillery position shè strike officer Tang Qingshan came with news!

"The No. 2 gun position is overheated" and "the No. 3 gun position is normal" shè strike group officer immediately reported the situation of the other gun emplacements!

Chen Ying thought about it for a moment and immediately gave an order, "No. 1, No. 2, one minute to cool down, clean the gun chamber, must be completed!" Report on the completion of the third position! ”

And Lu Han and Xu Shoushan also couldn't understand each other's actions at this time, the bridge was hit, and they didn't know how to come up and fight bayonets, could it be that the other party went crazy...... It's better to go crazy, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, let's not be crazy with you!

Lu Han shouted loudly at the shè command room: "Chen Ying, it's up to you!" This is a chance to beat the water dogs! ”

Due to the sudden change of direction of the battleship La Perlouz, it was apparently an undamaged artillery attack under the influence of Yan zhòng, and the battleship's command system and the first and second officers were served in one pot, and at the same time, because of the fire, other officers could not take over the command at all, which caused hún luàn on the battleship.

The eighth round of shè was carried out by the No. 3 gun position alone, but the shells swept over the battleship and fell into the sea behind, and returned in vain! And after the seventh round of shè shots, it took a full 6 minutes for the cannon on the La Perlouse to be fired! This time, the French finally hit the target! The 190mm shell of the tail gun successfully hit a side of the stern of the 501 ship, and after the explosion of smoke and flames blew away a piece of steel armor, it did not exert any effect!

Qin Kai was bored, and after hearing the report of the ship's damage, he began to ponder very viciously, and the French captain didn't know what kind of expression he would have when he saw the result of the shelling.

At this time, the gun barrels of the No. 1 and No. 2 gun positions on the 501 ship were quickly cooled and cleared, and the loading was finally completed, and the muzzle of the black dòngdòng was pointed directly at the cruiser La Perouz, while Chen Ying stared at the French battleship that was still burning in front of him, and calmly gave the order to strike!
