Chapter 201: The Battle of the Sea (2)
"Shanghai" ironclad ship. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhang Feng was calm and composed, he used a monocular when the distance was far away just now, but now he doesn't use it, the other party's ships are already very close, most of the other party are warships, and there are relatively few auxiliary ships.
"Commander-in-chief, it's less than five hundred meters away from visual inspection."
Zhang Feng visually measured the distance between the two sides, and was several hundred meters away from his nearest enemy warship, and the other party was already within the range of the ironclad ship's artillery.
Suddenly, a deafening cannon sound sounded, and the hull of the "Shanghai" ironclad ship shook slightly, this was the main gun of the "Shanghai" ironclad ship firing, Zhang Feng hurriedly looked over, only to see green smoke coming from the muzzle of the main gun in the bow, and not far away, an enemy warship had been shot.
Obviously, this is a flowering bomb, hitting the bow of the warship, the cannonball exploded, Zhang Fengneng can see that several people in the explosion seem to be blown away, figures and sawdust in the smoke of gunpowder, the power of this flowering bomb seems to be not bad.
If it is smokeless gunpowder, it is more powerful, and if it is a smokeless gunpowder flowering shell, this cannon will definitely blow up a big hole in the enemy warship with wooden structure, and the flowering shell of black powder is less powerful.
At this moment, Zhang Feng thought of Song Yingxing, and didn't know if he had made a breakthrough in the stability of smokeless gunpowder.
Smokeless gunpowder burns with no residue and no smoke or only a small amount of smoke. The use of smokeless powder made it possible to increase the range of the projectile, improve ballistic straightness and accuracy of fire.
If there is stable smokeless powder, it will pave the way for the development of ammunition. Military rifle cartridges can basically develop from the current large-caliber black powder gun cartridge to the smaller-caliber smokeless powder gun cartridge.
In addition, it is very important that the Maxim heavy machine gun also has practical value because of the use of smokeless gunpowder. If there was smokeless gunpowder with stable performance, it would not be impossible to develop a machine gun similar to Maxim in the future.
Zhang Feng remembered that the nitrocellulose was dissolved in **** and alcohol, and an appropriate amount of stabilizer was added to it to become a gelatinous substance, and then pressed into sheets, cut into strips, dried and hardened, and finally a very stable granular smokeless gunpowder could be obtained.
The key is that Zhang Feng doesn't remember what the stabilizer is, but vaguely seems to remember what it seems to be, and has told Song Yingxing, and Song Yingxing is experimenting.
As the "Shanghai" ironclad ship took the lead in firing its guns, the rest of the ironclad ships, not to be outdone, also opened fire one after another, not only the main guns, but also the secondary guns began to aim and shell.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The sound of cannon shook the sky, and every ironclad ship was filled with gunpowder smoke of different shades, no way, even if the black powder had been improved several times, there was still no way to solve the shortcomings of the smoke.
"Commander-in-Chief, look!"
Zhao Weibin looked delighted, and was pointing ahead, Zhang Feng also saw that an enemy warship had been hit several times one after another, the enemy warship had caught fire and was dilapidated, some people on board were fighting the fire, and some people simply jumped into the sea.
It's off to a good start!
As soon as the battle began, it was equivalent to killing one of the opponent's warships, and that warship was obviously abandoned, Zhang Feng smiled happily, and then said: "See, the other party is surrounding and preparing to carry out siege tactics against us." ”
In the command room of the "Shanghai" ironclad ship, after Zhang Feng's reminder, everyone saw that the other side was relying on the large number of ships, and was puffing out the sails, swarming around, and it could be seen that the other side was using siege tactics.
Zhao Weibin hurriedly reminded: "Everyone go to the shooting position to prevent the other party from forcibly boarding the ship." ”
Soon, even several lieutenant-level naval officers in the command room ran out with guns in person, although they knew that the possibility of the other party leaning over and boarding the "Shanghai" ironclad ship was very small, but Zhang Feng did not stop it, and it was always right to be careful.
The other party's ships also opened fire, and even a shell hit the right side of the side of the "Shanghai" ironclad ship, however, it was useless, this was an ironclad ship, even the right side of the ship had thick steel armor, so there was no need to worry about it at all.
"Fight, and soon you will find out that it will be useless." Zhang Feng thought so in his heart.
Looking out, it can be clearly seen that the other party's ships have been surrounded, and it didn't take long to basically surround the five ironclad ships, and the other party began to open fire, and the dense cannon sound in the ears continued one after another, I don't know which cannons belong to the ironclad ships, which cannons belong to the other party, the sailors on the ironclad ships are beginning to shoot with muskets, and the cannons are mixed with the sound of musket shooting.
The two sides fought very happily on the sea, even if the other side had so many warships, Zhang Fenghao did not have any worries, on the contrary, Zhang Feng was full of interest, looking outside, watching the naval battle situation of the two sides.
Zhao Weibin shouted loudly: "What about the many boats you have, all of them are here to deliver food to grandpa and me, see how grandpa and I sink you." ”
The opponent's warships surrounded, the distance was close, and each ironclad ship seemed to be dangerous, but in fact, it was not, because this was an ironclad ship, and there was no need to be afraid of the opponent's artillery.
Unless you have powerful high-explosive bombs, armor-piercing shells and the like, this kind of thing, don't talk about Zheng Zhilong, even Zhang Feng doesn't have it.
The other party surrounded him, and the distance was close, which was equivalent to taking the initiative to send it to the door, and taking the initiative to send it to the gun muzzle of the ironclad ship, which was easier to fight.
No, there are several people firing guns on a certain side-chord gun position of the "Shanghai" ironclad ship, this is a 70-mm gun, of course, it is also front-loaded, and the breech-loading gun is still under development, and it has not yet been installed. Although it was a front-loading gun, it was rifled, more advanced than ordinary guns, and also had a cannon shield.
"Bang dang!"
There was a loud bang, and not far away, an enemy warship fired a cannon at this position, which was a solid bullet, and the opponent was lucky, and it actually hit the cannon shield directly, making a lot of noise.
The commander of this cannon was a strong man, and when he saw that his cannon had been hit, he shouted fiercely at the enemy warship not far away: "Grandson Turtle, wait, wait for grandpa's shells." ”
Come and don't be rude!
The strong man shouted loudly: "Xiao Qi, blossom bullets, quickly, aim and hit me!" ”
When the gunner heard the shout, he moved quickly and skillfully, he was not nervous at all, he knew at a glance that he had participated in naval battles, had experience in naval warfare, loaded ammunition, inserted the fuse, aimed, ignited.
The fuse sparked with a "snort", and with a "boom", the 70-millimeter gun opened fire, because the enemy warship was very close, estimated to be less than 100 meters, so close, such a large target, can be hit with eyes closed.
Sure enough, it successfully hit the target, and the flowering shell exploded on the side of the opponent's ship, and hit the opponent's artillery deck, knocking a large hole in the opponent's ship.
"That's good, Xiao Qi, it's good, let's have another shot!"
As soon as the cannon was finished, the strong man hurriedly shouted, and a deputy gunner next to him immediately picked up a cylinder of gunpowder, which was wrapped in oiled paper in a cylindrical shape of gunpowder, and was filled quantitatively, and the wrapped cylindrical gunpowder was a little smaller than the gun, stuffed from the muzzle of the gun, stuffed to the bottom of the gun, and then put in a flowering bullet, the action was very fast, and it didn't take much time.
Loading the fire rope, aiming again, ignition, and not long after, another shot hit the target again, and the enemy warship not far away, sawdust flew sideways, and this shell caused a lot of damage to the enemy warship.
Obviously, the other party also opened fire, and also used the flowering shell, because of the close distance, the other party also hit the "Shanghai" ironclad ship, "boom", the shell exploded not far from the strong man, however, it seems that the effect is not good, everyone except for the ears shocked, there is no effect, as for the "Shanghai" ironclad ship, it has no impact.
It can be seen that it is also a flowering shell, and the power of the opponent's shell is obviously inferior to Zhang Feng's shell, and Zhang Feng's flowering shell obviously belongs to an improved version, which is more powerful and has a higher technical content.
Not far away.
For the sake of safety, perhaps for the sake of his own life, the sail battle ship in the Piming Sea was not in the front position, and did not join the naval battle, but the position was not too far, and it was just right to see the sea battle ahead.
At the beginning, I saw that the "Shanghai" ironclad ship took the lead in firing guns, and then the rest of the ironclad ships opened fire one after another, and soon scrapped a warship in Piminghai, not only Piminghai, but many people next to Piminghai were startled, and everyone's first reaction was that this firepower was too fierce.
However, Piminghai's wolf pack tactics quickly seemed to "work", and a large number of warships surrounded the five ironclads and began to open fire.
Seeing this scene, Pi Minghai smiled, and many people next to Pi Minghai laughed, for these people, this scene was too familiar.
Last time, I encountered several Western warships, and I did the same, but the result was that all those Western warships were sunk, and none of them escaped.
"General, we have completed the encirclement, and our warships are already firing!"
"Haha, they're finished!"
"Five ships dare to come over, now we can only go to the sea to see the Sea Dragon King!"
“……”
Seeing that everyone next to him was so happy, Pi Minghai was also in a good mood, and thought in his heart, there is no suspense in this battle, and they will definitely be finished.
Five warships, surrounded by dozens of warships, shelled one by one, in exchange for who knows, they will win. Pi Minghai was in an unprecedentedly good mood, and waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go outside to watch the battle, there is a little depression in this command room." ”
"I like that when I go to the outside deck, I can see the sea breeze and even smell the gunsmoke." Immediately, the generals agreed, and everyone followed Pi Minghai to the deck, standing on the deck, the field of vision was very wide, and they could see more clearly.
But after only looking at it for a while, Pi Minghai's face gradually changed, and he said in his heart, this... It's not right, it's not right at all, how can it be like this?
yes, how so?
This is not performed according to the script in Pi Minghai's heart at all!
