Chapter 042: The Power of the Incendiary Bomb
"Bring them closer and fight again!"
Looking at the Dutch fleet on the sea in the distance, Zhuo Shijie was murderous. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
He still doesn't understand why the Dutch have to kill him.
Today I will teach you that there is no return!
He was now with Jack and Andre, who were already on guard with 105mm howitzers.
"The first wave of shelling used incendiary bombs, first killing and wounding a large number of their soldiers."
Before Liu Laoliu was injured, Zhuo Shijie's idea was to teach the Dutch a proper lesson, after all, the Netherlands is a country that is in a period of rapid rise, and the national strength is strong, and he now only has two small gunboats, which is difficult to compete with the world's first power.
At the height of the Dutch power, there were a total of 20,000 ships in the world, of which 15,000 were owned by the Netherlands alone, and the Dutch East India Company alone owned 10,000 ships.
However, although he was still very weak, if the Dutch really dared to kill him, then he would not mind taking the Dutch stronghold in the western Pacific, Taiwan Island.
He really didn't believe that the Dutch would send their troops on an expedition for the sake of a corner of the far east.
With this thought in mind, Zhuo Shijie had already sentenced the Dutch fleet to death in his heart.
The Dutch on the sea are not facing the consciousness of life and death at this moment. Although their fleet was slightly damaged just now, its combat effectiveness was not weakened in the slightest.
"Their two gunboats seem to have returned to the docks, what? Are they going to give up? Albert stroked his beard gently, a relaxed smile on his face.
His adjutant cautiously asked, "Could it be that they are playing tricks?" ”
"Tricks?" Albert glanced at the adjutant dissatisfied: "In the face of absolute strength, any tricks are useless!" ”
Now that the two gunboats they feared the most had returned to the docks and showed no signs of fighting, the battle would be a one-sided massacre!
He immediately ordered: "The soldiers will divide into two ways and encircle Black Wind Island!" Everyone, beware, don't attack the two boats on the dock! ”
"Landing the musket team, waiting to attack Black Wind Island, and wipe out all the people on the island on the spot, leaving not a single prisoner!"
After receiving the order, the Dutch fleet immediately changed formation, and two third-class battleships took the lead, each leading four large gunboats, and outflanked the island of Black Wind separately.
While the Dutch fleet was rushing towards Blackwind Island, it was quiet, like an uninhabited island.
The soldiers hidden in the jungle were also nervous as they looked at the approaching Dutch fleet. The Dutch gunboats were powerful, they had heard of them for a long time, and they never imagined that one day they would face such a terrible opponent.
"With so many ships and so many people in this Dutch fleet, can we withstand this little man?" Someone muttered.
"Afraid of what? We have a battery! ”
"The battery is very powerful, but I heard that the Dutch ships are very strong, our battery, uh, is there enough ammunition?"
"It's not something you should worry about! Our task is to wait for the Dutch to land, and we just need to take the guns and crash them one by one! ”
When it comes to guns, these soldiers are all at ease, and the gun in their hands is too powerful.
On the top of the mountain, Zhuo Shijie has been staring at the Dutch fleet, watching them approach the Black Wind Island step by step, and walk into the gates of hell step by step.
"Commander, the enemy fleet is within ten kilometers!" Jack said to Zhuo Shijie.
Zhuo Shijie nodded: "Wait, wait a little closer, I want to let them have no escape!" ”
"Commander, it's eight kilometers!"
"Commander, the enemy is only six kilometers away from my Black Wind Island!"
Zhuo Shijie waved his hand: "Fire!" ”
The 105-mm howitzer exploded with a bang, and one shell flew straight to the northeastern sea with a scream.
In the northeastern sea, four large gunboats, two in the front and two in the front, guarded the third-class battleship in the middle.
"Major, it's about to get close to Black Wind Island, we haven't fought for a long time, our artillery is about to rust, and today we can finally conduct a live-fire exercise."
"yes, it's no pressure to deal with this handful of pirates!"
"Our sir, I don't understand what he's thinking, why he's interested in this gang of pirates!"
As they spoke, they suddenly heard a sharp whistle, and then in the center of their large gunboat, there was a sudden loud noise, and in an instant, raging flames rose up.
"It's on fire!"
"Hurry up and put out the fire!"
The crew and soldiers all went into battle, carrying buckets of water pipes one by one, and spilled them on the fire.
However, the water did not extinguish the fire, but on the contrary, it became more and more intense.
Later, when they were far away, people felt as if they were about to be roasted, and they had to retreat again and again, where did they dare to put out the fire.
The fire spread rapidly, and in a matter of moments, the entire ship was covered in billowing smoke.
"Boom!"
Another incendiary bomb struck and dealt another fatal blow to the large warship.
In the era of wooden warships, incendiary bombs were undoubtedly the most terrifying existence for wooden ships, ten times more terrifying than demons!
Napalm incendiary bombs can burn at a temperature of up to 850 degrees Celsius, burn for up to 15 minutes, and have a destructive power on flammable objects that are more than ten times higher than that of blasting bombs.
The wooden warships, including humans, are almost entirely combustible, and once they burn up, there is almost no chance of extinguishing them.
When gasoline is burning, it is simply not feasible to fight the fire with water, not to mention that with such a high temperature, it is simply impossible to get close.
The wind fueled the fire, and the fire was powered by the wind, and in a very short time, countless Dutch sailors and soldiers were killed in the fire.
At this time, the surviving soldiers on the warship had no second way to choose except to jump into the sea.
Unfortunately, by the time they realized that jumping into the sea was the only way to save their lives, the entire boat had already been burned to death.
Almost all the people in the entire Dutch fleet saw this terrible scene.
This time, they had come to exterminate a small group of pirates with the ease of a leisurely stroll, and with such a huge fleet, they had come to fight a small island, and no one took this battle seriously.
But in the blink of an eye, one of their warships burned before their eyes. It was only then that they realized that the so-called war was never a drama and a prostitution, and that there would be death when there was war, and there had never been an exception.
Many people felt a chill down their spines, and at the same time realized that today's battle was not as simple as they thought.
"The whole ship is on fire! It's over, it's over, it's over! ”
The fire is so big, I'm afraid God can't save it.
"Is this the devil coming?"
"Oh my God, a whole boat! Where did such a big fire come from! ”
Albert saw that one of his large gunboats was burned into a large fireball before he could fire a single shot, and his whole heart was dripping blood.
"How many secrets are hidden in this damn Black Wind Island!"
He clenched his teeth, his eyes widened with rage, and he roared: "All warships, full speed ahead!" I'm going to level the whole of Black Wind Island! ”
