Although Zhuo Shijie achieved great results in this expedition and annihilated the main fleet of Black Whirlwind in one fell swoop, his plan to take Black Wind Island fell through, and now he has to find a way to evacuate the battlefield. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, there were Dutch gunboats to the south, batteries on Black Wind Island to the east, and a ship of unknown origin to the west, so the only way to do this was to head north, bypass the unknown ships to the west, and then return west to Half Moon Island.

Zhuo Shijie's gunboat was fast and not afraid of the enemy's pursuit, but the speed of the eight-oared boat was a bit of a delay.

"Colonel Jack, save machine gun bullets and cover the evacuation of the eight-oared boat!"

While the machine gun can do little damage to enemy hulls, its higher range allows it to hit soldiers on enemy ships outside of enemy gun range. In this way, at least it can intimidate the other party so that they dare not chase too closely.

Zhuo Shijie reluctantly glanced at Black Wind Island, and commanded the gunboat to sail in the direction of the eight-oared boat, preparing to join it and retreat together.

"Report to the Commander! The boat to the west, like, like, ......" The soldier who came to report stuttered a little.

"Seems like what? Say it! Zhuo Shijie was a little annoyed, at this critical juncture, how could he still grind.

"That ship looks exactly like our gunboat."

Zhuo Shijie was stunned for a moment, hurriedly climbed to the top of the cabin, picked up the telescope and looked west.

Sure enough, it was a patrol gunboat!

Zhuo Shijie laughed, in this world, besides Annie, who else can make a gunboat?

"Change course, head west, and rendezvous with Anne!"

With the gunboat Anne, Zhuo Shijie is full of guilt.

When the soldiers of the Heavenly Army heard this, they all lifted their spirits and looked at the western sea with a look of surprise.

"The deputy commander is here!"

"Look, the deputy commander has brought us another gunboat!"

"That's great! I was chased and beaten without ammunition, I was really embarrassed! ”

The frustration they had just been chased by their butts was all swept away.

The Dutch gunboats, not far away, also spotted the gunboats to the west.

"Two such gunboats at the same time?" Albert frowned.

His original plan was to capture the opponent's new gunboat without any damage to his gunboat. But now, the other side has another gunboat with the same gunboat, so it is obviously impossible to complete the predetermined plan without its own damage.

There are only two giant gunboats of his own tonnage in the western Pacific region, and if there is major damage, it is absolutely unacceptable to him.

In the previous artillery battle, he also saw that the firepower of the opponent's gunboat seemed to be more powerful than his giant gunboat. It doesn't seem to be so much fun to fight with it.

In the past few days, he has been having trouble with his superiors, and if something happens to his cuckoo at this time, I am afraid that he, the major, will have to go back to his hometown in the Netherlands.

"Stop the pursuit! Retreat now! ”

Albert decisively ordered a retreat.

As for the other party's gunboats, as long as they are still in the nearby seas, they will not be able to escape from his Albert's palm sooner or later.

It seems that they are here to snatch Black Wind Island, and Black Wind Island is only a day and a night away from Taiwan Island, and they can be surrounded and annihilated by superior forces at any time.

Zhuo Shijie's attention was all on Anne's gunboat, and someone occasionally turned around and immediately shouted: "The Dutch gunboat is running away!" ”

"No, it won't! Such a big gunboat is afraid of our little gunboat, what a coward! ”

"Our gunboats are still powerful! The Dutch had seen the power of our gunboats, so naturally they didn't dare to come. ”

"Yes, just now they deceived us into running out of ammunition before they dared to chase after us, what a guts rat!"

Zhuo Shijie was secretly relieved when he saw the Dutch gunboats retreating.

Now, this is not the time to be tough with the Dutch, after all, it is the take-off stage of the sea coachman, and the momentum is in full swing, and it is inevitable that he will be too big to confront the world's largest military power with his own two small gunboats.

"Let's clean them up later, and take them back to Blackwind Island for now."

At this time, it was almost six o'clock, and in more than an hour, it would be dark, and Zhuo Shijie didn't want to fight in the dark.

Anne arrived quickly, and in a short time the two gunboats were united.

After the two gunboats came to a standstill, the soldiers put on the gunwales, and Zhuo Shijie came to Anne's gunboat.

"Deputy Commander, you came in time, how do you know that we will encounter a strong enemy?" Zhuo Shijie was curious.

Anne replied, "Commander, I thought you had taken down Black Wind Island, why?" Having trouble? ”

After making trouble for a long time, it turned out to be a hot shaved head, Zhuo Shijie thought that Anne was specially here to rescue the driver, but he didn't expect people to just pass by!

"Okay, if you want to talk about trouble, it's a little bit, we've run out of ammunition, but there are still some remnants on Black Wind Island, and we need your gunboat fire support."

Anne immediately straightened her posture: "Yes, Commander! Then you drive, I'll operate the battery. ”

Zhuo Shijie said to Hong Zhi and Liu Laoliu, who arrived later: "You take gunboats and eight-oared boats, go around to the north of Black Wind Island, avoid enemy batteries, and forcibly land near the dock!" Note that you can destroy the enemy's living forces before landing, you know? ”

"Yes, Commander!" Liu Laoliu and Hong Zhi took the order and left.

Zhuo Shijie drove the gunboat a little rusty, and headed towards Black Wind Island again.

Shore defense artillery has always been the natural enemy of the fleet.

Because the tonnage of coastal defense artillery is generally large, and they are generally condescending and occupy the advantage of firing range, sea surface ships generally do not confront shore defense artillery head-on.

That's what Black Whirlwind is thinking at this time.

After the Dutch abandoned him on Black Wind Island very unjustly, Black Whirlwind also saw Zhuo Shijie's new gunboat, and at this time, Black Whirlwind already had a broken heart.

Seeing the opponent's two gunboats and an eight-oared boat divide their troops into two ways, with a posture of ambition, the fierce light in the eyes of the black whirlwind was revealed.

"I'd rather die standing than die on my knees! Little beast, I'm going to fight with you today! The black whirlwind lifted the last ball of dantian qi in his abdomen, and roared at the sea with pride.

However, it also requires capital.

The so-called battery of the Black Whirlwind, which was only a medium naval gun purchased from the Dutch, could not be compared with a real battery at all.

And his subordinates, after seeing his fleet destroyed in a very tragic way, can imagine their combat effectiveness.

In the northern part of Blackwind Island, the pirates who knew the power of Zhuo Shijie's muskets still set up a seemingly tight defense line on the beach at the beginning of the battle, but as soon as Zhuo Shijie's subordinates opened fire and the machine guns on the gunboats rang out, they immediately dispersed.

They are not defending their homeland, and they are not brainwashed war machines.

A battle that is sure to lose, a battle that will inevitably cost one's life, and no one will fight to the death.

At this time, at the southwest end of Black Wind Island, Black Whirlwind's ten batteries, and the 25mm rapid-fire gun operated by Anne, opened fire almost simultaneously.

A precise cannonball landed on the ten turrets of the Black Whirlwind.

The pirates operating the fort had just finished firing the first cannon and were preparing for the second cannon when a dense burst of shells fell beside them.

Explosions rang out, and the pirates were blown to pieces.

Those who were lucky enough not to die all ran to the rear, leaving behind the turret and the black whirlwind.

One of Black Whirlwind's arms was blown away, and he looked left and right at the ruined fort position with a blank face, and step by step he came to the edge of the cliff, closed his eyes, and jumped down.

Black Wind Island is back in the hands of Zhuo Shijie again.
