Shelling Purple Quartz (2)

"Tell the ghost cannon! Divide the cannon into three groups to form uninterrupted fire for me, one group for me to block his route, run for me to shoot wherever I go, and the other two groups shoot in sections to suppress the opponent's naval artillery fire and create an opportunity for Wu Fatzi's heavy artillery to shoot accurately! If you let it run away today, Lao Tzu won't be surnamed Liu! Bangs gritted his teeth and gave the order! After the order was delivered, the ghost cannon did as ordered, divided his artillery into two groups, and operated the artillery himself to shoot! The artillerymen of the ghost cannon are all veterans, and the cannonballs are drilled and drilled, and they are even more handy in this direct shooting environment, and they hit the purple quartz one by one.

"Captain! We have already been hit by more than a dozen bullets, and it is not a way to go on like this, the enemy's artillery power is very fierce, and I am afraid that it will not be a way to continue like this! The first mate ran over and said anxiously. Oh, John, don't you see that? What hit our ships were all army blasting shells, and such shells were just scratching an itch for an armored battleship like ours, and now I can already see their artillery positions, and I ordered the No. 1 and No. 2 main guns to fire, and the broadside guns to suppress them! Be sure to teach these Chinese a lesson! "Yes! Your Excellency, Captain! The first mate glanced at Skinler and replied.

"Damn! Aim for me! Beat! "Wu Fatzi ordered the cannon, the cannon chamber was loaded with ghost cannon modifications*, the power of the 155mm heavy artillery shells modified was very amazing, only a few shells fell on the warship, but it was just a few shots, which shocked Skinler, the Communist Party actually had *!" Fall back! "Skinler looked at the * who was hit by the other party, and gave the order wisely, but he sent a shot that hit the pulp blade and rudder of the Purple Quartz, which means that it is too late to leave!" Can it be fixed? Skinler asked. The problem is relatively large, in this case it is impossible to fix, and the entire pulp blade needs to be replaced! The first mate said, "What now?" We are completely exposed to enemy fire! "Fire with all your might, call for help from the fleet, and hold out until reinforcements arrive!" Before we can do that we have to fight to the last man! ”

"This bastard seems to have lost the ability to sail!" Liu Hai looked carefully in the gun mirror, and he found that the British ship did not carry out evasive actions and dodge actions, which is not right, it stands to reason that the artillery advantage here is so obvious, even if the other party does not run, at least he should sail to avoid, instead of staying here as a live target! After observing for a long time, the bangs finally confirmed that the other party had lost the ability to sail! "God has eyes," Liu Hai rolled up his sleeves excitedly and shouted, "Go to the position of the ghost cannon!" The fighters of the guard company immediately followed Liu Hai with their guns and went to the position where the ghost ran.

"Ghost cannon! Push a cannon over me, I'm going to smash his bridge myself!" Bangs shouted. Divisional commander, why did you come up, it's dangerous here! Ghost Cannon said. Less nonsense, the British ship will not move now, it is a live target, the captain of this ship must be staying on the bridge at this time, if you don't take this opportunity to kill him, it's too cheap for him! Bangs said. Be! After the ghost cannon agreed, a cannon was pushed over after a while! After Liu Hai carefully corrected it with a sight, he took a cannonball, loaded it into the barrel, and after pulling the fire rope, a cannonball flew out, and the ghost cannon observed with a telescope in a panic, and this cannonball accurately hit the bridge of the Purple Quartz under the operation of Liu Hai! "Well played! The division commander hit too accurately! Ghost Cannon said excitedly.

"Mr. First Officer, please don't worry, although we have lost the ability to sail, as long as we hold out for a while, reinforcements will arrive!" Skinler said confidently. "Our fleet is in Shanghai, even if the fastest speed takes a day, we are afraid that we will not be able to wait for reinforcements to come, and we will be sunk!" The first mate said worriedly. "In this case, we will use the auxiliary pulp that is not completely damaged, and control the ship to the south shore with all our might, and run aground! Then wait for reinforcements! Skinler said. Okay, Captain! The first mate said with some dissatisfaction. There was no need to cause such trouble, I had to show the majesty of the British Empire, I thought that people would not dare to shoot, but as a result, people not only dared to fire, but they were also beaten so that they could not move, and they couldn't beat and couldn't run, this Skinler was really a bastard, otherwise he should be romantic with that beautiful lover in Shanghai now!

"Bastard! What's going on? The captain watched his ship move towards the north shore and cursed angrily. The pulp blades were blown out of shape, and the direction was difficult to control! A soldier next to him reported. Tell those bastards that they must run aground on the South Bank, and if he can't, I'll shoot him! Skins Skinler said. I'm working hard Mr. Captain! "It's not about working hard, but about resolutely leaning on the south bank, and stopping at the record is suicide, understand?" Skinler shouted angrily. However, this was his last shout, and a cannonball hit the bridge impartially, and the huge explosion Skinler exploded into four sections, and by the way, the deputy captain and several sailors next to him were all killed! Luckily, the Purple Quartz finally ran aground in a shallow shoal on the south shore with a last-ditch effort!

The shelling stopped temporarily, and the situation was quickly reported, which caused a unanimous reaction on both sides, that is, both sides took a tough attitude towards the matter, and the CCP's order was to repel all invading enemies, but the supplementary order was to let the other side retreat as the best outcome, that is, to control the matter within a certain range. And the British commander, as the Far East Fleet, ordered the British ship Mate to go to support!

"Report, a British warship on the river is approaching the Purple Quartz!" The lookout reports to Bang Hai, who is modifying the shell. "Order the ghost cannon to fire, can't let them rendezvous!" Bangs ordered without hesitation. The riverside passed through a tightly camouflaged ghost artillery running regiment, and immediately fired cannonballs at the Mate that entered the firing range! The ghost cannon hit the Mate accurately this time, dozens of shells accurately hit the hull of the Companion, and the artillery of the Mate also fired a considerable number of shells at the position of the Ghost Artillery, and in the exchange of fire, the ghost cannon hit the bridge and the front main gun of the Companion, so that the two front main guns of the Mate were destroyed, the captain was wounded, and the Companion had to give up the rescue and go south, trying to break away from contact with the PLA! , but it entered the range of fire of the first artillery regiment of the PLA special forces column, and was subjected to heavy shelling, and the mate drove downstream at high speed and fled to Jiangyin. Ten people were killed and twelve wounded. The PLA suffered about 40 casualties.

"Not bad! Well played! Liu Hai looked at the British battleship that fled in embarrassment in the smoke and flames, and his heart was happy. I don't know what will happen in the end? After all, the other side is a British battleship! Sima Hong next to him said. Hum! These Brits, still think that the sun never sets on the empire, the Yangtze River is our inland river, is the absolute scope of the country, if we can't effectively protect our own land, let these foreign warships run rampant here, then what difference does it make with us Manchu Qing! Originally, I also considered whether my superiors would have any scruples, but it turned out that the orders of my superiors, Mr. Chen, were tougher than mine, and it was best to repel them, and if I didn't retreat, I would sink them on the spot, which was too enjoyable! It was the best battle I've fought since I became a soldier. Since the Opium War, the British have been rampant in China's rivers and rivers, and these artillery hits have been a national shame for a hundred years! Liu Hai said angrily, "Since the above ordered us to fight, then there is nothing to say, come and sink one, and sink one pair!" ”

The news of the Mate's repulsion once again shocked the British Empire, which could not tolerate the loss of its privileges in China, and Vice Admiral Alexander Maiden, commander of the British Far East Fleet in Hong Kong, announced that he would personally lead the fleet to rescue the Purple Quartz. The arrogant Alexander Maiden immediately flew to Shanghai and led the London and Black Swan stationed in Shanghai to meet the Purple Quartz and rush out of the PLA-controlled area. At a time when the PLA is embarking on a campaign to cross the river, it is clearly a provocation at a sensitive moment when the two sides of the military conflict have not yet begun negotiations to calm it.

However, Maiden was the deputy commander of the fleet after all, and while going to rescue the Purple Quartz, he also shouted to the PLA on radio along the riverbank, indicating that he had no intention of becoming an enemy of the PLA. In view of this situation, when the British ship once again came within the firing range of the Liu Hai Artillery Regiment, Liu Hai once again carried out the warning according to the order, firing three red signal flares! But the British warship had no intention of leaving, and continued to march west along the river, intending to rescue the Purple Quartz! Seeing that the other party ignored his warning, Liu Hai once again ordered the cannon to be fired, and then added the modified * Wu Fat Man once again exerted his might and successfully hit the heavy cruiser London of the British fleet! The British ships returned fire. The artillery positions deployed by Wu Fatzi on the river embankment were very hidden, and they could fire directly at the warships on the Yangtze River, while the British ships believed that the PLA artillery positions were behind the river embankment, and all the shells hit behind the river embankment, and the infantry preparing to cross the river behind the river embankment suffered heavy casualties.

"Damn! Shoot me and kill these foreign devils! Wu Fatzi personally went into battle to shoot the cannon, and the fierce firepower matched the point fire of the ghost run, and the shells hit the hull of the London like raindrops! However, the London relied on the advantage of being a heavy cruiser and thick armor, so it continued to move westward with the intention of making peace with the Purple Quartz. "Division commander, no, we can't move this heavy cruiser, the other party is still advancing along the west, what should we do?" Wu Fatzi said angrily. "Cooperate with your heavy artillery*, advance to the riverside and shoot at its bridge, as long as you hit its command system, he will know the difficulty and retreat!" Bangs said. "Okay!" Wu Fatzi immediately did what Liu Hai said, and the result was that four shots* hit the bridge and injured Chavez, the captain of the London!
