Chapter 387: Battleship Attack

"They're coal burners, and I've never heard of anyone blowing coal. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Their ship is bigger than ours, its sinking resistance is better than ours, and there is no problem at all if it is fired."

"Their companions are nearby, and if they jump into the sea, they can be rescued, and we will die by jumping into the sea."

……

The loss of two armed speedboats at once was almost like a head-buttling and bleeding. George's fleet had to avoid the open sea off Nassau, and the six remaining ships of the fleet had a heated discussion, and everyone agreed that their commander was stupid!

Of course, this can only be thought about privately.

George, who led this fleet, still held the command, but he was unwilling to run so far and leave in disgrace, still looking for an opportunity to take revenge. This form of revenge is a blockade!

How can I run so far and not get any results? I'm not going! I will stay near Nassau and fight guerrillas, and will not allow any ships to enter the port of Nassau, and will cut off your internal and external communications, and look for an opportunity to see if I can make a big deal.

This was the tactics of Commander George in Matanzas, constant harassment, incessant attacks, so that the enemy could not live a normal life. He decided to copy it to Nassau.

Nassau, on the other hand, didn't seem to care about George's six ships, didn't send the killer AC-130U to drive them away, and didn't take off the unmanned reconnaissance plane to look for them, as if nothing had happened.

George's imaginary vengeance of the enemy's nervous and impulsive revenge did not take place at all, and the entire sea area of Nassau was silent, except for the clattering of the thin ice on the surface of the sea, and only the frozen-to-dog crew complained. He had to radio contact '007' Wade in Nassau, and the news he received was that there was no movement on the island.

"What the hell is wrong with the people on the island? I blocked their port, and they didn't react at all. After a day of squatting, George felt like a fool and was being ignored, and the worst thing was that the six armed speedboats he led could not move at sea for long. If the enemy can't come out, he can only leave in disgrace.

"Shameless, lewd, despicable, without the slightest military temperament! was blocked by someone, they didn't react at all, they were just cowards. "Commander George is not reconciled. Why don't you come out and fight me with something!

The high-level advisor of the dignified 'Enclave' military advisory group, did he slap his opponent twice when he came so far? The most hateful thing is that the other party won't continue to play if he wins a game, which shows that he won't turn the tables with others!

George hated it, and he decided to wait another day. If the opponent dies and doesn't come out, then he can also proudly go back and declare that this is because he is too strong, causing the enemy to avoid the battle in fear.

At this time, in the dock of the Nassau Ship Repair Yard, the steam warship that had completed the boiler installation had completed the transformation. This ship is barely usable. Anyway, it is an emergency product, and it can run for a month or two without leaking, and if you fight one or two battles without sinking into the sea, you will be able to return to your capital.

The dock opened the gate to release water, and after the battleship floated, the boiler was started, and after more than an hour, the boiler pressure was full, and the steam turbine was pushed to power the battleship. Captain Derek of the Aurora personally led a group of sailors aboard the ship and sailed the ship out of the dock to begin sea trials.

"It's not bad, it's not as bad as I thought." Captain Derek was still very satisfied with the condition of the initial sea trials, and it was a miracle that he was able to transform a steam battleship in such a short period of time. "The engine room was ventilated under pressure, kerosene was injected into the boiler, and the power was increased, and we tried to see how fast we could run at full speed."

Zhou Qingfeng easily got several oil tanks and dozens of tons of old kerosene, which could not be used for burning because there was too much dregs.

The engine room poured kerosene into the boiler, and the fire exploded, and smoke billowed from the chimney. The power of the steam turbine was increased by at least 30 percent, and the entire battleship immediately exceeded the design top speed of 15 knots, reaching 18 knots.

The thousand-ton steam battleship ran out of eighteen knots, and it really had a bit of majestic momentum. At this time, the ship's sea search radar found several targets that were approaching quickly, and when you looked at the speed of the ship, you didn't have to think much about it to know that they were the armed speedboats that had come to make trouble two days ago.

The ship's first mate immediately advised, "Captain, should we retreat to the defensive circle of the floating battery?" ”

"No, get the turret ready, we're armed for sea trials." Captain Derek refused, "Wait until the enemy gets close and open fire." ”

Due to the rush, the main turret of the steam battleship was an M777 155 mm caliber army howitzer. It is said that this cannon can only hit fixed targets on the ground, and there is no way to deal with speedboats running around at sea, but it can't stand the guided shells of other artillery crews!

The 'Copperspot Snake' laser-guided artillery shell is a bit of an old item. In order for this shell to be effective, a fire guidance group worked on the bridge of the battleship. A full set of artillery observation equipment and laser target designators were deployed, and the sea was still calm at the moment, and the target was the armed speedboat approaching at high speed.

At this moment, Commander George also spotted on his radar the steam battleship that the 'Aurora Legion' had just come out for trial. As soon as he saw that there was a big target coming out, His Excellency the Commander was simply overjoyed, he was waiting for his achievements and fame all over the world, and he was already waiting for impatience!

When the radar speed measurement showed that the target was only eighteen knots per hour, and the sky saw billowing black smoke, Commander George didn't take his opponent to heart, "Hahaha...... these idiots really made a steam battleship." But this speed will definitely not escape our pursuit, and now it can't run away if it wants to, so we will go up and beat it to death! ”

In order to teach the Aurora Legion a hard lesson, Commander George decided to use the 'Hellfire' missile, a weapon of mass destruction that he had been hiding all along. The missile, originally mounted on an M1117 armored vehicle, is now mounted on Commander George's ship, along with the launcher.

With a range of 10 kilometers, the 'Hellfire' is extremely powerful, and George decided not to give his opponent any chance to counterattack at all this time, and to take out the opponent first, "Forward!" When I'm ten kilometers away from my opponent, I'm going to kill them with my own hands. ”

With a belly full of resentment, the menacing Commander George decided to take revenge today. He decided to ...... for the two armed speedboats that had been sunk two days earlier, for the men who had died on the sunken speedboats, and for the humiliation he had suffered in front of the opponent's idiot-like floating batteries.

His Excellency the Commander's inspirational mood was brewing, but a large-caliber shell fell from the sky, and a violent explosion exploded on the surface of the sea. The roar shook Mr. George's brain, and in front of everyone in the fleet, another armed speedboat fell into bad luck.

"Oops, where did this shell come from?" Commander George looked at the shell that had just hit his own speedboat and didn't react for a long time. "Theoretically, I should have fired first!"

It's just that this time, the captains of the remaining five speedboats in the entire fleet have a very tacit understanding, completely ignoring the bullshit 'theory' of their own commanders, and turning around and running away as soon as they see that the situation is not right. No one wants to stay and verify whether the theory is correct. (To be continued.) )
