Chapter 333: BB63 with True Damage
Kobayashi was a civilian officer, and with no Chinese background, he could only work in the Fort Garrison Force, a unit that was difficult to promote by merit. www.biquge.info However, recently, his military academy classmates who were sent back from the Liaodong Peninsula to recuperate from their wounds are very envious of his current position, and they all say that compared to facing the guns of the Great Song Royal Marines, merit or something is a floating cloud, and no matter how prominent the military exploit is, it may be a short text on the tombstone on your grave in the end.
The three warships moored in the open sea across the battery must have been the most difficult situation Kobayashi had faced since he joined the army, and it was precisely the warship hiding behind the British warship without flying the flag that was the source of his inner unease.
Although the warship was far away in the open sea, Kobayashi could see through the telescope that the two British Navy frigates were nothing more than big toys in front of him. He had a foreboding that only the Great Song Empire, which his seriously wounded military academy classmates had called, was capable of building such a huge ship, and unfortunately one of the royal family members of this empire had just undergone a thrilling assassination in Maguan and his life and death were currently uncertain.
The Prime Minister of the Empire, Hirobumi Ito, gave him a handwritten warrant: No foreign ship should be allowed to approach the Shimonoseki pier without receiving the Prime Minister's order, let alone allow foreigners to land at Shimonoseki.
The British were quite restrained by Ito Hirobumi's order, after all, the heroes did not suffer immediate losses, and the two small frigates and the shore defense guns of the battery group could not be used to fire any good results. Besides, the godson of the footbasin chicken borrowed so much money from them, and it seems that it is not good to repay the money by breaking the bottles and cans in their house.
However, the British, who were soon denied permission to go ashore, released the transport boat again, and a diplomatic letter forwarded by them on behalf of the Great Song Empire allowed Kobayashi to confirm the identity of the giant ship.
When Sora Kobayashi sent this letter marked with the letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Great Song Empire to Hirobumi Ito, who was in Shimonoseki, he told the captain who sent the letter that he must tell the Prime Minister that there was a huge warship of the Royal Navy of the Great Song Empire parked in the open sea opposite the fort.
However, when the messenger returned to the fort, except for a handwritten letter from the Prime Minister to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Great Song Empire, Kobayashi did not receive any information about changing the previous Prime Minister's order.
"Are you sure you and the Prime Minister have made it clear what kind of warship we are facing us?" Kobayashi questioned the captain he had sent to deliver the letter.
"Yes, Your Excellency Nakasa. I clearly described its massive body and its nine terrifyingly large main guns. The Chinese captain replied.
Are you kidding? I'm just here to gild a gild, but I don't want to die here for His Majesty the Emperor! Under the shelling of this huge ship, I am afraid that I will not even have a chance to leave a last word, how can I not make the situation clear?
However, to the despair of Kobayashi Sora and the Chinese captain, Ito Hirobumi's handwritten letter obviously did not meet the conditions put forward by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Great Song Empire. They saw through their binoculars that one of the turrets in the bow of the sea behemoth was turning in the direction of their battery.
At such a distance, the Royal Navy of the Great Song Empire is trying to warn us? This is Sora Kobayashi's last mental activity in the world.
"I'll wipe it, can the buddy in the bullet supply room be more professional? We're going to shoot first, why are you sending MK19 personnel anti-personnel bombs? "The commander of the battery was completely speechless to the rough embryo of the lower ammunition supply room.
"Love or not, we can give which one we are, you have so much nonsense, this special forty-five people do the work of the three of us, why are you a picky eater, right?" The rough embryo that jumped up and down between the upper and lower bomb supply rooms and the medicine supply bag room was stunned back.
"Okay, don't be hypocritical, let's just play part-time in a group, don't kill yourself in this iron coffin, why are you picking that thorn? Hurry up, Fat Luo is urging us! "The sight chief is also very dissatisfied with the turret chief's pickiness.
Perhaps the BB63's broadside was a real damage to the Foot Basin Chicken, and the MK19 personnel personnel bomb, which was used as a calibration projectile, actually rushed headlong near the headquarters of the Japanese coastal defense unit behind the battery.
"I'm rubbing, so far away? Even if it's a proofreading of you, it's outrageous, shame! Luo Can, who was waiting to vent his anger at the old man who was blind in Taierzhuang, said with a grin.
"Sir, the footage from our 'Vanguard' drone shows that those rough embryos seem to have hit something." Said the interim first officer.
"I'll see, what the hell can I hit like this?" Luo Can reached out and took the iPad in the first mate's hand.
"It should be the headquarters of the Japanese coastal defense forces." MissFox, who poked his head out to join in the fun, remembered that it was the headquarters mentioned in the information provided by the Japanese traitor.
"I'm rubbing, so awesome! Tell turret A that they're all adding chicken legs tonight! Let them keep up the good work! Luo Can said.
"Keep up the good work? Are you still here? The command department let you serve it, and you still shoot? Is it the first opening condition? MissFox was also speechless at the angry captain.
The crowd on BB63 here was still fighting over whether to continue the shelling, but the soldiers in the chicken fort on the other side had already blown up. The headquarters of the coastal defense forces behind the battery was far away from all the guns of the era, so the fortifications there were just stacks of sandbags. A one-size-fits-all MK19 personnel kill bomb turned the entire area into a living hell. Humans and animals were killed in its radius, and the prefabricated fragments scattered from the center of the explosion in a shockwave, slicing everything they came across.
The command center of the Japanese coastal defense force was located near the center of the impact point, and there was no trace of its existence in this huge round crater, which was as clean as those craters on the surface of the moon.
The personnel outside the crater were no better than the unlucky ones in the crater, and unlike the eerie scene where the shock wave of a high-explosive bomb directly causes people to bleed to death, the metal storm brought by the prefabricated fragments of the personnel kill shells makes the scene even more bloody. Severed tree trunks, human body fragments, and bloody slimy items that don't know what they were scattered around the crater in a circle, and the soldiers of the Foot Basin Chicken Shore Defense Force who had never been on the battlefield saw this scene in addition to vomiting and screaming, and their fighting spirit was completely disintegrated by this terrifying weapon that should not appear until decades later.
"Sir, the Great Song people seem to have hit something, and the officers of the coastal defense forces on those batteries seem to be suppressing the soldiers." Lieutenant Rann said to the colonel.
"Impossible, right? Isn't that a school projectile that shot a little off? Colonel Percy Scott said.
"Sir, have you forgotten what happened to the Dutch? How could a warship with that kind of gunner shoot such outrageous school projectiles? Lieutenant Rann said.
In fact, neither the colonel nor Captain Rann were sure whether this school projectile was outrageous, and in this era, only the Great Song people could carry out accurate artillery bombardment at a distance of more than ten nautical miles, and only they knew whether it was true or not, and the maximum range of other people's naval guns was not ten nautical miles, let alone any accurate shooting.
"Sir, look there! Plane! It corrects the drop point. Lieutenant Rann had a sharp eye and soon spotted the "Vanguard" drone released by BB63.
"God! Is there such a small plane? It's impossible for even a dwarf to fly such a plane, right?" Colonel Percy Scott couldn't believe that thing flying in the sky was directing the plane that was firing at school.
Boom, one of the main guns in the bow of the BB63 spewed out a dazzling orange-red fire, and with a sharp whistling sound passed over the heads of Colonel Percy Scott and Captain Rann, they discovered that the gadget in the sky was a school firing plane! Because with this loud noise, one of the Japanese batteries was instantly collapsed by a shell fired by BB63.
With the hit of this high-explosive shell, the great powers will officially kick off the construction of cannon ships!
