Chapter 423: Obsession
A series of actions by the "director team" made the traversal have to speed up the rhythm of the show "Battlefield Reality Show". BB63 was rushing to Yingkou while completing the pre-planned training program to assist the ground troops in seizing Yingkou, the only port of the Qing army outside the Guan.
In fact, as soon as BB63 left the inner bay of Arthur Pass, it was an effective aid to the ground force heading to Yingkou, and its appearance succeeded in attracting the attention of almost all spies in the Far East, with little attention paid to the build-up and march of ground troops.
When the BB63 was training around the Bohai Sea, the attention of the countries to this huge battleship reached a jaw-dropping level, because the speed of the ships of this era could not catch up with the BB63, and in order to see the BB63 and take pictures, countries did not hesitate to use the method of sending ships in all directions around the BB63 in advance.
When BB63 headed towards Yingkou, the last stop of its training, with a lot of tails, people realized that the Great Song people were going to take the Manchu Dynasty. At this time, the ground troops attacking Yingkou had also entered the planned offensive position, well, this position seemed to be a little far away from the Qing garrison at Yingkou. Well, to put it bluntly, the rough embryo in command of this ground force has no confidence in the main gun operators on the BB63, they don't want to be the first traversers to die after the crossing, and they still occupy a place on the KIA list by the humiliating way of being killed by friendly fire.
After obtaining the missile launch key, Zhao Yiyi specially approved a quota of several more shells than in the original training plan, so that the main gun operators on the BB63 could practice their skills. The princes of the Provisional Executive Committee were not interested in the "Harpoon" small smashing cannon produced by Eagle sauce on the BB63, but still felt that improving the firing accuracy of the 406 mm main gun was the future of the navy.
Of course, it is not that the "Harpoon" missile is not unconfident in the "Harpoon" missile, although the "Harpoon" with a total weight of 1,100 kg is indeed a small smashing cannon like a large anti-ship missile like the "Granite", but no matter how small the AGM-84Block 1C "Harpoon" is, it can stick to the sea surface and go straight to the waterline of the target ship, and the 200-kilogram charge is a proper bite of a child for the ironclad ships of this era.
The reason why the rough embryo feels that the 406 main gun is more reliable is entirely because, judging from the current technical reserves of the public, it is easier to produce ammunition for the 406 gun than to produce "Harpoon".
When BB63 appeared in the sea near Yingkou, the last Qing troops, who were still swinging on the wall, immediately withdrew from their garrison positions and rushed to the positions of the ground troops who crossed and surrendered. In an instant, there were only a few brains left in Yingkou who were about to die in the Qing Dynasty, and the huge hull and long barrel brought coercion to the people of this era that missiles did not have.
Although the ground troops had informed Luo Can, the captain of BB63, of the reality of the Qing army in Yingkou, these Manchu diehards were destined to be bombarded by the high-explosive bombardment of the 406 gun, after all, BB63 came to find the right head.
After the BB63's fire control computer gave the firing element, the rough embryos in the bow A turret began to get busy. The Interim Executive Committee has added a lot of manpower to BB63, but BB63 is already very short of personnel, and Luo Can can only get together enough turret operators.
Based on the standard that a main gun turret needs 77 people to be fully staffed, if you want to get together the operators of the three main turrets of ABC, even if you fill in all the new people sent by the Provisional Executive Committee, it is not enough, Luo Can does not dare to offend the rough embryo of other departments on BB63 in order to engage in a gorgeous salvo of nine main guns. You must know that his position as captain was obtained by a narrow voting advantage, and he does not have much prestige in the eyes of the BB63 coarse embryos.
"Okay, the little ones are ready to fulfill those minions who want to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty, let everyone see the results of your training these days, don't be ugly like Maguan, and don't let the white-skinned people around you see our jokes!" Luo Can said to the rough embryos of the A turret through the radio.
With the help of the fire control radar, the school projectiles fired by the main turret A are not very outrageous, at least not like the command post in the rear that will be directly fired in Maguan. The drone hovering in the nearby airspace quickly transmitted back the data of the landing point of the shell, and the fire control computer immediately sent the adjusted firing element to the turret commander of the No. A turret.
Boom, boom, boom, the first salvo of BB63 came quickly, and this salvo with such a short interval between the school fire and the shelling surprised the foreigners who watched the excitement in the vicinity. Of course, there are also people who are waiting to see the Great Song people make a fool of themselves, I'm afraid they haven't even found the landing point of the school projectile in such a short time, so if they fire a salvo so quickly, they can't go to Java? Someone muttered in his heart.
However, to the surprise of these white skins who came to see the excitement, this round of salvo of BB63 directly overturned the few coastal defense fortifications built by the Qing army at Yingkou.
The sixteen-inch main cannon of the Great Song Dynasty was as powerful as the rumors, and the three shells not only destroyed the fortifications of the Qing army, but also left huge craters on the ground! What's even more terrifying is the efficiency of the artillery bombardment of the Great Song people, fast and accurate! The time it took from the landing of the school projectile to the implementation of the salvo was really frighteningly short, and those Qing troops had no chance to escape at all!
Perhaps the Great Song people did not reveal the full essence of scientific artillery, and they had better instruments to assist those sixteen-inch guns in firing, thought Hans and John Bull, who were watching the BB63 shelling.
"Alright, you can report everything you see to the fools in Congress who are agitating against the Great Song people. Let them think about what they can gain by working against a country with such a terrible battleship, which seems to me to be illusory at the risk of being bombarded with sixteen-inch guns. Coman said to the John Bull observers, who were watching the excitement.
Hmph, just based on the words of you, a Jew who has received benefits from the Great Song people, do you want to change the resolution made by the upper and lower houses? A spy has long sent me the information that the Qing army in Yingkou has surrendered to the Great Song people in large numbers, and there are not many living people in those bombed-up fortifications, and the Great Song people are playing the trick they used to play in Maguan again! The congressional observer apparently did not buy Koeman's account.
Considering that this salvo already had a good accuracy, and in order to prolong the life of the barrel, Luo Can ordered the shelling to stop after destroying the coastal defense fortifications built by the Qing army, and Luo Can's practice further deepened the impression of the John Bull observer that the Great Song people had planted explosives in the fortifications in advance.
Seeing the disdain on the observer's face and the look on my grasp, Coman knew that the guy hadn't listened to what he had just said. Perhaps the fleet of the British Empire was destined to be bombarded by these nine sixteen-inch main guns, and the conflict between the Great Song and the British was obviously not good news for the Jews who were anxious to restore their country, but what could we do? These two giants are going to fight, and it's not even for us Jews who don't even have a foothold to control it.
