Chapter 978: Battle of Port City (2)
Facts have proved that the dog-like tactics used by the Xuange Battalion fleet have actually achieved excellent results.
Relying on stronger maneuverability and speed, the distance was pulled a little wider again, and after maintaining a distance of at least three miles, the three ironclad battleships once again crossed and began to load and aim again.
Somewhat different is that the muzzle angle is calculated after the cross bites the rear molars and the gunner adjusts it.
On the Fenghuahui, Huang Acan, who is now the commander of the No. 2 gun position, after a little hesitation in his heart, the cannon he is still responsible for has been adjusted by 0.5 degrees to the left.
Because although he can't say anything, he has an indescribable intuition in his heart, how to adjust to hit.
This intuition is so strong that Huang Acan can't help but make adjustments under the divine envoy.
Then, in this round, almost three ironclad battleships, opened fire at the same time, and fired a rather beautiful salvo.
After counting Huang Acan's shell, three of the nine shells this time actually hit the target.
One of the shells, in the explosion that pierced the hull, successfully detonated the powder keg inside; Suddenly, a series of huge explosions occurred in the hull of the ship.
Let this 2,300-ton battleship of the Yin Army be completely destroyed.
And the complete destruction of the 'Compass' is only the beginning.
In the time that followed, when a group of yin gentlemen and ladies were hiding in the buildings on the shore to watch the battle, the only thing they could do with their mouths was to keep praying for Brother Su to bless them.
It can make the boys of the Great Yin Far East Fleet drive away these terrifying opponents.
As for defeating them, arresting these people and hanging them in the harbor, such a thing is not even conceivable.
It's a pity that Brother Su doesn't seem to be at work today; Regardless of the experienced sailman, how not to let go of any trace of sea breeze, let the sails be blown up, so that the battleship drove at the fastest speed.
But in front of those three black-smoking ironclad battleships, the efforts of these people were so ridiculous and helpless.
The sail warship of the empire on which the sun never sets, slowly resembles an old lady who is hobbling in her footsteps.
The distance between the two sides was always about three miles away from the three nimble and fast ironclad warships, and there was no way to get a little closer.
On the contrary, in the process of such a constant catch-up, artillery battle.
The Dayin Far East Fleet, after one warship after another was concentrated by the opponent's firepower, sank one after another, or broke the mast, and became the best target.
So much so that the sailors above, in fear of death, jumped into the icy waters like dumplings.
By now, about an hour later, four ships of the Far Eastern Fleet had been sunk or in the process of sinking.
There is also a Pegasus that has lost its ability to move because all its masts have been broken.
a sail warship with a displacement of 1,130 tons and a crew of 128; Actually with a rifle, he raised some white pants high and surrendered.
In the navy of the empire on which the sun never sets, such a situation actually appeared, which shows how desperate the sailors above are at the moment.
So such a scene made the gentlemen and ladies watching the battle unable to help but despair.
It's just that they'll soon learn that this is just the beginning.
The real despair is about to play out in front of them......
******
When a loud sound of striking iron clearly reached the ears of Hu Biao and others; The 'Guifei' they were on immediately had a noticeable shake.
That is, Hu Biao and them, quickly grabbed the handrails around them so as not to be thrown to the ground.
The reason for this is that in the dense artillery fire of the Yin army, there was another 32-pound solid shell, which hit the Guifei where they were located.
Ignoring the huge embarrassment when he almost fell, after reacting.
After the war, Hu Biao, who had been in the command tower, immediately shouted at a brass pipe beside him:
"Damage management group, damage management group, this is the captain's office, I am Hu Yitong, immediately report the damage to the battleship."
Not long after, a sentence came from Hu Biao's ears: "Call the captain's room, this is the damage management group, and the shell of the coal storage bunker on the starboard side has been shot."
But in the position of the middle gun, there is only a small bag at present, there is no water leakage, and there is no other situation. ”
Hearing such a sentence, Hu Biao's confidence suddenly skyrocketed.
In fact, this naval battle has been fought until now, and in the previous time, their Guifei was hit by six shells; The kick number and the Fenghua meeting number were also hit several times respectively.
One is counted as one, and there is no case of the hull being penetrated.
However, the largest caliber of the shells that were hit before was 24 pounds.
But when the 32-pounder gun, which already belonged to many warships in the Yin fleet, the largest caliber artillery could not break the defense.
Hu Biao's confidence in the crushing defensive power of the three ironclad battleships under his command has finally reached its peak.
At the same time, there is a kind of impatience rising in the heart of this goods:
Special! After fighting for such a long time, it was only after killing and capturing six ships of the Yin Army.
Although the '3,000 tons' side quest requirement has been completed by now, it is so easy to meet it, and even the people of the Demon Capital team are sorry for their efforts.
Therefore, it was his Hu Biao's goal to completely annihilate the Far East Fleet in the port city, and then rush ashore to do a vote.
After thinking of such a point, Hu Biao shouted again at the top of his voice: "Use the flag language to give orders to the Kick Trumpet and Fenghua Meeting, don't run, rush up."
From now on, individual ships will fight on their own.
I used a cannon barrel to shoot at the head of the Yin Army battleship; As long as you don't surrender, you will blast me into the sea and feed the king......"
In Hu Biao's order, there is also the brilliance to the outrageous, even in the most daring dreams on weekdays, and they dare not hope for the results of the battle.
Everyone in the entire Xuange Battalion fleet was driven crazy by excitement at this moment.
The personnel of the power department turned the shovel in their hands to the point of take-off, and filled shovels and shovels of high-quality thermal coal into the boiler.
For the entire battleship, it provides the largest power.
Driven by such power, Yishui is at least fifty years old, and it can be said that he has spent most of his life at the helmsmen of the sea.
The rudder in his hand was turned out of a hot wheel.
While successfully dodging the Yin army, covered with artillery fire one after another, he let the battleship he piloted rush over the sea with agility and speed.
Even the gunners took off their shirts one after another, and began to reload and fire bare-chested.
Even if your arms are burned by the hot artillery, you can't take care of it; The speed of firing the cannon has increased by more than 20 percent.
And as the distance between the two sides gradually approached, the hit rate naturally increased significantly.
It's just that even if the hit rate of the Yin army has increased, it is nothing more than making the iron-like sound more dense.
The various shells they fired were still bounced off one by one, leaving craters of different sizes on the ironclad battleship, and they never really penetrated these opponents.
However, when it comes to the Yin army, the most terrifying weapons are those special heavy machine guns with a caliber of 20 mm.
Since the two sides entered a distance of seven or eight hundred meters, Guifei, Xu Feng, Fenghuahui, Xiao Baimian, Yun Qing and others, who had snatched these heavy machine guns, opened fire wildly.
Compared to a minute, the top of the sky is a naval gun that fires a cannon.
This kind of weapon, which has a fast speed of fire, is as fast as the speed of the hand, and the bullets as thick as a thumb are generally rained down on the deck and behind the gun window.
Often, in a very short period of time, after a blood mist bursts, all the living people in an area disappear.
For a while, I don't know how many Yin Army sailors were almost frightened crazy by this thing.
Driven by the fear in their hearts, they either jumped to the surface of the sea, or fell to their knees, calling frantically 'Brother Su', but no one dared to continue fighting.
Because in their eyes, continuing to fight is also a useless exercise.
In short, after Hu Biao and the others launched the attack, it was only thirty minutes later; On the Yin side, there were only six warships left that insisted on fighting......
