Chapter 137: Battle of Java 3

As a result of the generation difference in weapons, the pirate fleet had no power to fight back at all, and the pirate fleet reacted at this time, and the warships avoided the main route and wanted to disperse on both sides, but in this way, this fleet can no longer be called a fleet, and there is no formation of naval battles, it is just a group of target ships that are attacked.

The 32-pounder and 24-pounder smoothbore guns on the pirate ship opened fire one after another, firing solid armor-piercing shells one after another, but because of the distance, the shells could not fly to the position of the Huafu fleet and fell into the sea one after another. Most of the cruisers of the Sail Age were armed with 32-pounder and 24-pounder smoothbore guns, and sometimes a single battleship was equipped with 76 cannons.

However, their shortcomings are also very obvious, the firing distance is too short, after the shells fly out of 400 meters, they basically do not have any lethality, and the farthest upward shot is only more than 1,000 meters away, and they cannot reach the shadow of the Huafu fleet at all.

After the pirate fleet dispersed in formation, Raktawila's ironclad ship was directly exposed, at this time Laptawila had fallen into madness, he shouted into the horn-shaped brass command microphone, fire my cannon, bombard the Chinese fleet, bombard them with cannons, my ironclad ship is invincible.

The pirate gate hurriedly operated four 12-inch front-loading rifled guns, manually loaded 800-pound shells, the gunner adjusted the angle of fire, and several shells flew out with a bang, but because the ship was not purchased for a long time, the pirates were not proficient in using it, so the accuracy of the shooting was a little poor, and not a single shell killed the warship of the Chinese Fu fleet. But see the shells that fell not far from the side. The splash of water made Lin Haichao feel excited, and it seemed that he was a little light, thinking that the enemy had no power to fight back. Now that the shells of the enemy ships have fallen on their side, it is their own responsibility, and the first round of devastating blows was not inflicted on the enemy ships that had the power to resist.

The 12-inch front-loading rifled gun is capable of firing 800-pound heavy shells at a distance of more than 7,000 meters, which is definitely capable of threatening the safety of the Huafu fleet.

Lin Haichao hurriedly picked up the intercom and shouted, "Attention ships, pay attention to the enemy's ironclad ship." The shipboard missile was launched to attack the enemy ironclad ship. And two torpedoes were fired at the same time. ”

I saw that the missile manhole cover of the Zhulu automatically opened, and a KH35 "Uranus" anti-ship missile was sprayed from the SS-N-25 quadruple ship-to-ship missile launcher inside the ship's body. Directly hit the bow position, the huge explosive destructive power, so that the bow was directly blown flat, and in the South China Sea for 20 years, Laktawila, known as the Demon King, was directly blown up to ashes, and there were no bones.

The explosion also affected the guns of the ironclad ships, and the 12-inch front-loading rifled gun launchers under the two bows were directly shattered, and more than a dozen artillery pirates were directly killed. The ironclad ship was directly hit by a missile.

And the doom of the ironclad ship has just begun, and two torpedoes are coming on the waves. First, one hit the waterline in the middle of the ironclad ship, directly blasting out a big hole, and the ironclad ship smashed into the sea after one of them. As soon as it fell to the sea, it was hit again by another torpedo that was in hot pursuit, and the ironclad had no strength to resist, and directly burst a super hole in the center of the ship, and the sea water poured into it frantically, and in only a few minutes, the ironclad ship had already rolled on its side on the sea, and then spit bubbles and sank to the depths of the Java seabed.

At this time, the Pirate Federation and the other surviving pirate leaders of the fleet. Seeing the majestic ironclad ship, it was smashed into the sea by two shells from the Chinese. Where there is still the heart of resistance, they have raised flags to greet their warships to flee in many ways, and they can't even care about the transport ship carrying tens of thousands of pirate soldiers behind them.

Lin Haichao issued an order, ordering the submarine forces hidden around to directly attack these fleeing pirate sailing cruisers, and strive not to let a ship go. The 2 / 59 naval guns and 4 76 mm/60 naval guns of the frigate Zhulu began to exert power, and the shells were loaded into the breech with an automatic loading system, and the automatic aiming system directly encased the selected target, and each shell only needed a button to shoot at the enemy ship.

The Yulong-class torpedo boats and the Sea Dragon-class missile boats took advantage of their fast speed and adopted the method of encirclement to quickly pursue the sailing cruisers that fled alone, and the naval guns and rapid-fire guns kept attacking the side of the sailing cruisers, and the sawdust of the sailboats flew sideways.

These sailing cruisers are like a school of fish rounded up by dolphins in the sea, enclosed in a range, waiting to be divided and eaten, at this time a large wave of torpedoes surfaced from the water, rowing the waterline to shoot at these pirate ships, this is the Guandu-class conventionally powered missile submarines hidden on the bottom of the sea began to wield, torpedoes have hit the pirate ships, these huge torpedoes are used against wooden cruisers, as long as one hit, it will be a shattered end.

At this point, the battle has come to an end, because the only ones who can continue to float on the sea are the wooden corpses of these sailing cruisers, and of course, there are some survivors, who are constantly struggling to survive in the sea, hoping that God can give them a chance to be new people.

And those pirate transport galleons that were not armed at all were already besieged by the fleet, and if there was any change at this time, even the naval guns on the supply ships and landing ships would be able to destroy these guys who had no sense of zĂ i.

And these pirate transport galleons saw that their main fleet was beaten by the Chinese in a few rounds, and none of them survived, and they have completely lost the idea of resisting and escaping, and some guys are very clever, and even hung white chess on the bow of the ship, which made Guo Yu laugh, you said that you are a transport ship, and not a battleship, what kind of white chess are hung.

"Leader, there are a large number of survivors of pirate warships in the sea, how do we deal with them, do we rescue them or?" Lin Haichao was a little undecided about this matter, this was no longer a matter of fighting, but involving the survival of the thousands of pirates floating in the sea who were lucky enough to escape, and Guo Yu had to make up his mind.

Guo Yu stood by the window, looking at the pirates struggling to survive in the sea, with a slight smile on his face, he turned back to the senior generals in the command room and said: "I don't think they need to be rescued, order the ships, shoot freely, I don't want to leave them in the sea to continue struggling." ”

Guo Yu's words made the hearts of the generals who were doing it suddenly, this is thousands of lives, the head of the meeting today is really different from the past, usually Guo Yu gives people the feeling that he is gentle and approachable, cares for his subordinates and vigorously does charity, and is very friendly to those poor people who can't eat, how can he become so hard-hearted now, but Guo Yu's feeling also makes the soldiers who are doing it more happy, because he thinks that the leader who kills decisively is the leader that the soldiers want to see.

"Master, how to deal with the pirates on the pirate transport ship, and kill them all?" Wu Erzhu still has some pity for killing so many people, of course, not because it is a pity to lose a life, but because it is a pity that such a good labor force is lost.

"Of course you can't kill them, wouldn't it be better to send them to Li Sisheng, Li Sisheng, the Minister of Mines, has urged me several times to ask for someone, saying that his mine lacks a lot of labor, aren't these pirates the best miners, not afraid of death, not afraid of tiredness, not afraid of hunger, Dazhu, go back to tell Li Sisheng, let him be optimistic about these monkeys, they can die, but they can't run out, you know." Guo Yu said.

Wu Dazhu's face was happy, he actually thought of this just now, because Dazhu is still the person in charge of Huafu City, where is the lack of people, he knows it in his heart, the mine is dangerous because of the strong labor force, so Guo Yu is unwilling to let the Chinese who have migrated from China participate in the mine work, if the technical ones are okay, the pure labor can not use the Chinese, after all, he can't say it in his own heart.

"Okay master, when I go back, I will let Li Sisheng arrange these pirates, and I will make the best use of them." Wu Dazhu can also tell jokes, and directly classify pirates as items.

"Our task is not over, these pirates still have their lair, I think there are more people there, didn't Zhou Wu say that their largest family has nearly 50,000 people, most of those people are slaves they captured, and they grow food for them, and now we have completed the great cause of suppressing bandits, these are our trophies." After Guo Yu finished speaking, all the officers laughed.

"Master, what do we do next?" Wu Dazhu asked.

"Occupy the pirate's den, of course, it's time for us to dig up the pirate's treasure, are you interested?" Guo Yu asked with a smile.

"Yes, of course such a good thing should be done thoroughly."

"It's not just money, but land and people are all good things, and it seems that we need to carefully consult the next steps." This is another occupational disease of the head of the General Staff.

Ma Lian suddenly said, "Fortunately, I followed the master early back then, look at these glorious pirate kings of the South Seas, they are like chickens and dogs here in the master, they are really vulnerable." Ma Lian's words caused everyone to burst into laughter again.

Eighteen pirate gangs, cleaning up is also a difficult task, after all, the Huafu military is not enough now, can only choose the biggest target to complete first, I hope the information here will not spread too quickly, otherwise those pirate gangs are estimated to break up in advance.

After discussing some of the details of the next step, they went their separate ways to do their work. The Huafu Army sent six Guandu-class submarines, two Yulong-class torpedo boats, two transport ships and 2,000 army soldiers to escort more than 30,000 people from the 150 pirate transport ships back to Kalimantan Island, Wu Dazhu has informed Huafu City on the island that there are still 5,000 soldiers left behind, which is enough to do a good job in the task of placing pirate prisoners, Guo Yu only said one sentence, treat these pirate prisoners, if there is any resistance or abnormal movement, directly executed, every Huafu army soldier has such a right.

The rest of the fleet went straight to the pirate city on Bindan Island. (To be continued) R655
