Chapter 1: The Wind Blows the Sea and the Sea Are Uneven (14)
[Again, ask for a recommendation, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a reward, ask for support! ] 】
On the sea, the war drums of the Jeolla Province Left Water Camp of Lee Joseon were excited, and even the low sobs and frightened begging voices of the women on the deck were completely buried in this sonorous drumbeat, and the mighty tortoiseshell boats and banya boats had long branches of pulp sticking out of the slurry holes under the boats, and they were neatly rowed to the sound of drums, and even in the headwind, these warships were moving forward strongly.
They soon encountered the Ming army's fleet, faster than Li Yu or the naval generals had expected.
When the distance between the two sides was about 300 meters, Ding Yi's destroyer opened the gun window at the No. 1 gun position on the starboard side and fired the first test firing.
There is no "Boom! The armor-piercing shell directly penetrated the carapace of the tortoise-shaped ship it was targeting, and then smashed another huge piece of carapace covered with sharp iron cones from the stern direction, flew out, and continued its flight journey.
Because it is too close, even if it is driven by black * fire * medicine, but after all, the best ratio is formulated, and it is a black * fire * medicine that has been granulated, polished, and polished, and the distance of 300 meters is because Ding Yi himself has a trace of concern about the tortoiseshell boat that Liu Ji and Zhang Yu have been worried about repeatedly, so he put it so closely.
Ding Yi is limited by his current industrial base, and the armor-piercing bullet is naturally very primitive, that is, the lead bullet has no charge, and it is the central part of the lead bullet, embedded with a steel core of quenched mild steel. When the warhead hits the opponent's armor and ship's side. The outer lead cartridge sleeve was stopped because it could not penetrate, and the steel core inside came out to break through the target and continue to move forward. until the kinetic energy is exhausted.
As a result, this armor-piercing projectile penetrated a tortoiseshell ship. The lead cartridge sleeve still hadn't been taken off until it penetrated the tortoiseshell boat and hit the port side of the board house behind it, at which point the blocking force stopped the lead cartridge sleeve from advancing, and the steel core flew out, directly penetrating the board house ship.
"Change to high-explosive * bombs! Attention to all gun emplacements, change to high-explosive * shells! Ding Yi, who had watched the results of the battle through the telescope, gave a loud order before he put down the telescope. The herald immediately passed this order to the signal soldiers at the mast lookout, and they quickly transmitted the order to more than 20 other Ming warships with flags.
Ding Yi put down the binoculars and issued another order: "Fire." ”
At this time, Zuo Shuiying was still advancing majestically, and even Li Yu slapped his thigh and smiled: "Okay!" The Yin Gate Array really works! "Being shot through the tortoiseshell doesn't discourage him, what he cares about." Ming Gou's spell can't be like in Jeonju, once the spell is cast, there will be a burst of fire. Tianlei answered the call and killed dozens of people and injured them! Advance! As long as they jump to the gang, they will definitely die! ”
It seemed to be in response to his words. The guns of the first two destroyers of the Ming warships that had occupied the battle line were opened. Twenty-four cannons roared in unison, thanks to the efforts of the left water battalion pulper. There is also the blowing of the sea breeze, and at this time, the distance between the two sides is only 200 meters, at this distance, even if the wind and waves are undulating, how can a rifled gun as big as a tortoiseshell ship and a banya boat be missed?
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "All twenty-four shells hit the target, and the charge in the warhead of the high-explosive shell is not black *colored gunpowder*, it is a real nitrate-based gunpowder! Among the sparks of the twenty-four high-explosive* shells, many stumps and severed arms were thrown, and shrapnel and steel balls flew unscrupulously, harvesting the lives of the first mile in their tracks, whether it was the red-fruited and trembling woman, or the officers and soldiers of the sailor division who were tangled in red cloth.
On the other 20 or so Ming ships, the screams of mortar ejection covered the miserable voices and wails of the officers and men of the Li Division, and even if the time-delay fuse did not hit the ship, the shrapnel scattered in the air also made the sailors and soldiers on the sword boats and fighting boats reach the end of their lives ahead of schedule.
The two destroyers were projected at large surface targets like them, and in the three rounds of high-explosive* salvos, almost most of the tortoiseshell ships and the turtle ships began to sink. And the ensuing round of armor-piercing shells aimed at the waterline erased the luck of the five or six fish that slipped through the net.
Almost these two words, turned into all.
Lee's North Korea's Left Water Battalion, all the large surface ships, were on fire, they were all in the middle of sinking, or in the process of sinking. There was a slab house with its bow raised high, and the sailors on the deck ran screaming, and people kept jumping into the sea, not paying the slightest heed, and the whirlpool of the sinking of such a large ship would kill them in it like a fire.
Lee's Korea was not without warriors, at least in the midst of this tragic situation, there were still sailors and ships that were still fighting their way forward.
It's just that when they were lucky enough to avoid the damage caused by the volley explosion of mortar shells and broke through to a distance of 100 meters, the hand-cranked Gatling machine guns on the Ming army's gunwales began to roar, and in less than thirty breaths, these thirty or forty sword ships and fierce ships of the Li army, together with the warriors on board, became fragments.
"Courage and blood are honorable." Ding raised his binoculars and looked at the battle situation hundreds of meters away, there were three Banwu boats that had just sailed out of the water camp, one of which was about 600 meters away from the Ming fleet, and connected to a sword boat, because of the lack of magnification of the telescope, he couldn't see who was connected to it, but he could see that the Banwu ship was quickly raised with the handsome flag, and then the bottom stretched out the ship's pulp, and continued to rush in the direction of the Ming fleet, so Ding Yi smiled and said, "Order, Destroyer No. 1, armor-piercing shells, Destroyer No. 2, high-explosive * bombs, Deliver a salvo at the opposing flagship. ”
There was no surprise, after two rounds of salvo fire from the twenty-four rifled guns, although at a distance of 600 meters, the rifled guns equipped with high and low planes and direction planes still had an excellent salvo effect, with a hit rate of more than seventy percent, and the three board house ships began to sink, and even because they were taken care of, they sank faster than the ships in front.
"All the second battalion is there, and the assault boat is ready." Ding Yi put down the binoculars and ordered at Su Zhen.
The latter put his heels together hard and took the order. Anyway, Ding Yi is in this destroyer, and there can't be any danger.
A good man, who has made great achievements, naturally yearns for fighting on the battlefield.
It's just that Liu Ji, who had just exhaled a breath, felt a heavy weight on his shoulder, but Ding Yi reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said to him: "Go and change into combat uniforms, take your equipment, you don't have a military rank, you are not allowed to steal other people's military rank identification, and participate in the landing and beach grabbing as Liu San, a recruit in the cooking class of the regimental headquarters of the guard regiment." ”
"But, sir......" Liu Ji sounded like crazy.
Dante Yi obviously didn't intend to give him a chance to speak: "In addition to answering 'yes, promise to complete the task', if you say one more word, I will kick you into the sea, do you believe it or not?" If Ding Yi had a straight face, Liu Ji probably wouldn't believe it, but looking at Ding Yi who was smiling, Liu Ji had to believe it.
So he had no choice but to reply with a sad face: "Yes, I promise to complete the task." ”
Ding Yi waved at him.
Cao Jixiang couldn't bear it, and said in a low voice: "Young master, didn't the old slave remember that you said that commanders above the regiment level should not take the lead?" Aren't you trying to avoid the charge yourself? How can Yuyuki, who is powerless, be able to do such a thing? Cao Jixiang already knew when he could speak, and he wasn't worried that it would make Ding Yi have an opinion about him.
"An excellent commander, commander above the regimental level, of course, can't take the lead." Ding nodded, but stared at Liu Ji and asked, "Do you think he is a good commander?" More than a group? Give him a squad commander, I'm afraid I can kill twelve people! A bad commander who has the courage to lead the way can let him die before he kills his soldiers! ”
Ding Yi was a little angry at this time, the murderous aura on his body was undisguised, and Liu Ji, who was still slowing down and waiting for a turnaround, only felt that Ding Yi behind him was like a demon god, and he would devour himself at any time, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran off the deck and went to his cabin to change his equipment without mentioning.
"it!" Ding Yi scolded hatefully, and said to Cao Jixiang, "Don't pity him, this is not an ordinary cowardice, if he hadn't been there all the way, it would be enough to bring the second battalion and the regimental headquarters, and now bring the third battalion over, we have to do our best to solve the battle, otherwise, the remaining troops will be in trouble!" ”
Ding Yi can't be omniscient, he also has to make a judgment based on the clues at hand.
Mortars and machine guns on the ship to fight naval battles, for Ding Yi, there is nothing wrong with it, so he doesn't panic at all, as long as the soldiers are elite enough, the naval battle of the Wanshan Islands has not defeated the modern warships? Of course, in the era of the Wanshan Naval Battle, mortar guns and grenades fought naval battles, which was a last resort, because of the weakness of equipment, and the last resort was to rely on blood; But at this time, it is different, supply ships equipped with mortars and machine guns, and mortar shells with delayed fuses, this era is a big killing weapon, right?
But Liu Ji was talking all the way about how terrible this turtle boat was, and as soon as Ding heard it too much, for the sake of insurance, he brought one more battalion on the boat, who knew that the turtle boat was simply vulnerable! This is a total excess of firepower! At present, there are not enough troops, and there are two reinforced regiments in total, which have to face the counterattack of the troops of the seven metropolitan protectorates in Jeolla Province, and the possible attack of the naval division battalion.
"Lao Cao, you take the three battalions back immediately." Ding Yi gave an order to Cao Jixiang.
At this time, Su Zhen came over and asked: "The second battalion has completed the preparation for the beach, please instruct!" ”
"Let's go." After Ding gave the order, he looked at the Lee Korean ships whose flags were lowered on the sea, and the soldiers who did not die in the sea and called for help, "All the prisoners are tightly captured, and those who dare to resist will be killed." ”
If you can't talk about it well, you will start to use artillery to smash open the country, then you will have to hit them until they are afraid, until they can't resist the heart, and those who dare to move forward bravely in the artillery fire don't dare to have the mind to confront the Ming Dynasty!
