It had taken nearly a quarter of an hour for twenty huge third-class warships to form a formation. Subsequently, the whole fleet did not stop, but continued to practice formation, the river surface was still a little smaller, and the training effect of training around Caoluzhou in the military port was still not good. No, as soon as you get to sea, it's in force!

The most troublesome thing in current naval operations is that information cannot be transmitted in a timely manner. The distance between ships was too great, and the ships at the front and at the rear were often separated by more than a kilometer. At such a long distance, neither the flag command nor the sound could be transmitted correctly to every battleship. Therefore, the combat mode of the squad divided by Geng Jingzhong is now more practical.

Several soldiers are assigned to each capital battleship to receive and transmit messages, and to convey the orders of the commander and the commander of the detachment. If you are too far away from the commander's battleship, or because the smoke of the battlefield blocks the message, you will obey the orders of the commander of the detachment, and then act alone! The next training is much better, after all, it is not a battle now, and each battleship is equipped with a lot of binoculars, which can clearly obtain the commander's flag order. After more than an hour of continuous drilling, there is something like this, and there is no longer a situation where things are not distinguished!

The sky slowly darkened, Geng Jingzhong looked at his pocket watch, and found that it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon! Although it gets dark late in the summer, it is estimated that it will be completely dark in less than an hour! After watching the formation training for so long, Geng Jingzhong has not yet looked at the artillery drill. The key to a naval battle, the formation is important, but even more important is the power of the shelling. If the firepower of the battleship becomes stronger and stronger, the combat methods of broadside combat and gang jumping will be slowly eliminated! Whoever can have the upper hand in the shelling will be the final winner.

At this time, twenty third-class battleships were originally scheduled to have seventy guns each; However, due to the insufficient number of artillery produced by the artillery workshop, the current battleships, except for the Zhenyuan that Geng Jingzhong was riding at the moment, were equipped with less than half of the 70 guns. On the Zhenyuan at Geng Jingzhong's feet, two twelve-pounder guns were installed on each bow and stern, and the rest were evenly divided into two sides, with thirty-three guns each, including sixteen on the upper deck and seventeen on the lower deck!

"Shizi, it's almost time, it's time to go back!" Wang Zhenbang was quite tired after commanding for so long, and seeing that it was not early, he stepped down and asked Geng Jingzhong for instructions.

Geng Jingzhong nodded, and then said loudly: "Well, it's really not early, but we haven't seen the shelling drill yet, so it's a pity to go back like this!" Let's go back and find a place to try the shelling! ”

"Shizi is right, my Lao Huang has always been in charge of the training of this artillery, and it is too much to say if you don't let us show it. I've been holding back all afternoon, but I'm too embarrassed to say it directly! When Huang Dazhong heard Geng Jingzhong's words, he immediately jumped out and said impatiently. Originally, today was just a launching ceremony and a trip to sea to try out the performance, and there was no preparation for artillery training. He watched these warships cruising and lining up, and his heart was already itching!

"Hahaha! I thought you could hold it back, but I didn't expect you to jump out! Ma Jiuyu, the deputy general of the Marine Army, also laughed loudly.

"Hahaha!" The other generals laughed too!

Wang Zhenbang looked at a kind of general who had this meaning, so he gave Geng Jingzhong a military salute: "Obey!" ”

The fleet began to return, and after a while, the small island of Baihouyu at the mouth of the Min River came into everyone's sight. Wang Zhenbang immediately ordered the fleet to enter the preparations and conduct an artillery drill, and the target was the small island of Baihouyu Island in front. The flag order is transmitted, and the guns of each ship are ready! The small island of Baihouyu is an uninhabited island, with a radius of only more than 200 meters, which is just used as a target for shelling.

Twenty warships lined up in a line, and stopped about two kilometers away from the small island of Baihouyu, and all the guns exposed on the side of the ship were aimed at the small island of Baihouyu. The guns on these twenty third-class battleships were all recently produced by the artillery workshop, and the range and power have been greatly improved. In the original predetermined configuration, more than 50 guns of more than 12 pounds were required on the battleship, and all the guns on the bottom were more than 18 pounds. However, not so many guns have been installed on battleships yet.

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

The first round of cannon fire soon rang out. More than 300 shells of more than 12 pounds rained down on the small island of Baihou Island. On the small island of Baihou Island, it seems that it has suffered a meteorite from the sky, and the beach is not wide. After more than half a year of hard training, the artillery soldiers finally saw the results, and more than half of the shells accurately hit the beach, and only a small part hit the seawater, splashing some water columns!

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

The second round of shelling was even more intense. After adjustment, none of the shells fired in the second round missed, and all of them landed on the small island of Baihouyu.

"Good! Just hit it like that! Let's go back to the camp for two more rounds to eat! "Geng Jingzhong is overjoyed, this is still not equipped with artillery, if all the artillery of the whole army is replaced, it can be said that with this firepower, it is now invincible in the world!

The third-class battleships have such power, which has surpassed the second-class warships that are now in service in the West, and they are not far from the first-class battleships with more than 100 guns. In the future, if you get the blueprints of more big ships, you will definitely be able to take the idea of giant ship cannons to a new level!

"Tom tom!" After a burst of artillery and two more volleys, the whole fleet sailed into the Min River and began to return to the camp.

"Shizi, when the artillery is fully equipped, we can go to the Zheng family's bad luck! Who are we afraid of on this sea? Huang Dazhong was praised by Geng Jingzhong just now, and he was already a little fluttering. Although the artillery table is very good, it does not mean that the Mawei Navy at this moment has the strength to fight hard with the Zheng family, and the scale of the Zheng family's fleet is still far beyond theirs!

"No, our strength is not enough to fight hard with the Zheng family, let's train hard first, and at the end of the year, the next batch of warships will be launched, and it will be about the same." By next summer at the latest, I will personally take you to the Shimazu family to take revenge first! ”

"Good! I've been looking forward to that day for a long time! When Wang Zhenbang heard that Geng Jingzhong had decided to go to the last widow to take revenge first, his mood immediately lifted. They didn't have much blood feud with the Zheng family, but they lost three or four thousand brothers because of two battles with the Japanese Bandits, so they had to avenge it!

Geng Jingzhong also knew that the generals were holding their breath in their hearts, so he put more pressure on Wang Zhenbang: "Old Wang, it's up to you!" If you want to take revenge, you can't do it with today's table, and give me good training in the future. If you train well, you will die as a coach when you go to the tournament next year, if not, I will have to change people! ”

"Don't worry, Shizi, the last general will definitely live up to your expectations! Shizi, after a while, I want to take the pirates from the nearby sea areas to train my soldiers, I don't know Shizi" Wang Zhenbang first stiffened his chest and assured loudly, and then immediately approached and bowed down and asked.

Wang Zhenbang thought that it should not take long to become proficient in the queue training at sea, after all, the long-term training in the Minjiang River already has a certain foundation. If you want to quickly improve your combat effectiveness, there is no doubt that actual combat is the best way. However, the current Mawei Navy was not Zheng Jing's opponent and could not clash with the Zheng family, so he thought of the many pirates on the sea!

"Oh, that's a good idea! We want to develop maritime trade, and this pirate is our most direct stumbling block! Destroy them, this is good, I agree! But let's train the navy first! Geng Jingzhong didn't expect him to propose this proposal, and he thought it was quite good, so he immediately agreed.

"Order!" Wang Zhenbang agreed when he saw that his son was so happy, and immediately straightened up and gave a military salute. The surrounding generals were also overjoyed to hear Geng Jingzhong's promise, and when the time comes, with their combat strength, it will be a piece of cake to eliminate pirates, it is all a military feat, it is exciting to think about!

Twenty red third-class warships lined up in a row and continued to move forward, and when they passed by the rebuilt Monkey Island Commercial Port, all the workers gathered on the seashore and shouted in unison, "Red Army!" Red army! ”

The loud sound was so loud that everyone on the battleship could hear it clearly. "The Red Army?! That's! Could it be that this name was going to be used by me hundreds of years in advance? Geng Jingzhong couldn't help but be speechless when he heard the voice. If this is heard by future generations, I don't know if it will be beaten to death by everyone!

But it doesn't matter, it's not an era anyway. The name "Red Army" is indeed very suitable for these warships, and then the nickname of the Mawei Navy will be called "Red Army"! The workers may have given the name of the Mawei naval fleet only according to the color, but they did not expect that more than ten years later, this "Red Army" would sweep across the seven oceans, conquer many countries and territories, and establish a great name!

In a few moments, the fleet sailed into the military port. Before he could stop, there was a sound of gongs and drums in his ears. It turned out to be a celebration ceremony that had been arranged a long time ago, and the entire military port was full of jubilation. The victorious return of the "Red Army" is indeed worth celebrating!

In the evening, Geng Jingzhong specially ordered that the soldiers could drink alcohol tonight, so the entire military camp fell into a sea of joy. Of course, there is a certain amount of alcohol in the barracks, and you must not drink too much, but just like that, the soldiers are also very happy. The management in the barracks is strict, and they can only drink alcohol when they go home from vacation every two months, and at this moment, they are already drunk just by hearing the word "wine"!
