Chapter 1018: The Sound of Artillery After Half a Century
When Deng Guandao used all his strength and shouted the sentence 'open fire' in his mouth, everyone on the Zhiyuan inexplicably entered a state of intense excitement.
In such a state, they had already beaten the battleship in the previous time.
Quickly turning the muzzle, a twin-mounted 210 mm gun in the bow and a single-barreled 210 mm gun in the stern of the ship, a total of three gun barrels.
All aimed at the buildings on the deck at this moment, the flagship of the Dutch Blue that had already ignited a raging fire: the Gorland.
The speed of the whole adjustment and firing is probably not a third faster than usual.
In the end, under the electronically controlled artillery salvo system of the electric fire tube on the Zhiyuan, a total of three shells slammed into the hull of the ship and smashed into the target with a huge roar.
At this moment, Yang Dongli, Xiaomei and other five members of the team who were currently on the Guifei were all in tears.
Because compared with the sailors of the Beiyang fleet, who were a little confused, they were already clearly aware of one point at this time:
Since the twenty years of Daoguang, the period of the First Duck War.
Those foreign devils smashed open the gate of the flower planter with naval guns.
After a lapse of 53 years, half a century, the army of this humiliated nation finally used naval guns to fire at the white gate on the territory of the foreigners.
This not only means that it is the beginning of this battle.
It is even more that this nation is full of unwilling roar in great shame.
With the great excitement in her heart, Xiaomei's sister shouted out with a broken voice in her mouth: "The muzzle of the cannon is raised by 1 degree, adjusted to the left by 0.5 degrees, and fired in the direction of the signal flare~"
Suddenly, the entire Xuange battalion fleet entered a state of support for the opposite shore to fire with all its might.
As for the threat from the Dutch side, they didn't have to worry about it at this time.
The reason why I dare to be so relieved is that it was launched from the Zhiyuan, three shells after a gap of 53 years, as if they had magical power.
With astonishing accuracy, they all hit the flagship of the Dutch people, the Gorland.
One of the shots happened to hit the most important command tower of this thing, and directly collapsed the entire command tower; The commander of the fleet on the Dutch side hung up without even saying a word.
Twenty seconds late at most, three 210-mm naval guns on the Laiyuan also fired a salvo.
Although only one shot hit the Gorland, it hit the key waterline position and tore a huge hole in the hull.
Letting a large amount of seawater pour in, the flagship of the Dulans soon began to tilt.
The sailors above jumped into the sea as if they were deadly and began to flee, and they were not prepared to continue firing back on the ship.
In a short period of time, an important goal was solved.
The guns on the two cruisers began to turn to the Dutch, and the last remaining old ironclad battleship, the Hahe.
Of course, on the Zhiyuan and Laiyuan, each equipped with two 150 mm caliber secondary guns, and they were not idle in such a process.
Each of them set his sights on the boats of the Dutchmen.
Although these small boats are also steam-powered, the tonnage of the larger ones is only five or six hundred tons, and the smaller ones are only two or three hundred tons.
150 mm caliber secondary guns, as long as they hit these targets.
Even just a near-miss is enough to bring them a catastrophe; In a short time, it has already achieved one injury and one sinking.
In short, the main guns of the Zhiyuan and the Laiyuan were fired four rounds.
First on the flagship Gorland, a white sheet has been waved vigorously by a sailor, expressing their urgent desire to surrender.
That embarrassed appearance, where are the ancestors of these Dutch people, who used to be known as the 'sea coachman' across the sea.
It's not been a long time, and this little Guo Jia in the West has long been dilapidated.
Even the flagship surrendered, and the Dutch sailors on the other ships did not do so immediately.
They couldn't even find the white sheets for a while, so they directly took off the white pants, which were not white at all, took them in their hands and shook them vigorously.
In short, shortly after the start of the battle, the entire fleet of the Dutch surrendered.
Even at this moment, they are very confused:
Has Brother Jesus abandoned them? Otherwise, behind these skulls. How could a young man with an ugly pig's tail have the courage to shoot at these noble white men?
After the surrender of the Dutch fleet, the two warships, the Zhiyuan and the Laiyuan, still did not stop firing.
Instead, while maneuvering, an artillery battle continued with the five shore defense batteries on the shore; Even if it is the three warships of the Xuange battalion, there is no longer any threat.
So, the people who cheered up their spirits fired large-caliber naval guns one by one.
With their love and hatred, as well as the pressure, grievances, helplessness and other emotions in their hearts before, they greeted Surabaya City with all their strength in the cannonballs.
During the entire shelling, in addition to deliberately avoiding three safe zones, there was also the manor of the Li family in the west of the city.
Every place where fireworks rise is the direction of their strike.
When these shells fell, the Yexuange battalion and the Chinese compatriots in Surabaya City were finally saved from falling into the abyss of hell......
*******
On that street whose name he didn't know, Li San wielded a rifle with a bayonet and limped with his opponent with a bayonet.
I know very clearly in my heart: special! The countdown to his life has begun.
Although every time he shouted a loud word 'kill' in his mouth, he stabbed the bayonet out, relying on the speed and strength brought by the normal instinct of muscle memory, he could stab a Duran man to death on the spot.
However, he still clearly felt that the muscles in his arms, and even in his whole body, had reached their physiological limits under the condition of overwork.
Every time you stab a shot, you need to grit your teeth to do it.
Maybe a few more shots, and then you won't even have the strength to raise your hand.
On the contrary, in the position next to him, the number of those Duran people seemed to be endless, and it would be his death time.
And Li San's current situation is just a microcosm of all the members of the Xuange Battalion on this battlefield.
Except for Hu Biao, who was sitting a little behind, everyone was now in a bitter battle.
And one counts one, and his heart is full of indescribable sadness; Because they know that if no miracle happens, they will die today.
A minute or two ago, almost all of them had run out of bullets.
Then Cangguan, Yu Hanfeng, AT, Huang Yizhi, etc., one after another members of the Xuange Battalion team, after throwing away the empty bullets in their hands, there was not a single submachine gun and pistol that could be used for burning sticks.
Drawing out the spare cold weapon, or with his empty hands, he rushed towards the Duran man with a bright bayonet.
Li San's lame left leg was the result of being shot in the thigh when he rushed up all the way like this.
In the position behind him, Zheng Xiaozu, Huang Yaozong, Xie Fei and other Chinese men and teenagers rushed forward with loud shouts.
At this moment, they no longer have the instinctive fear of these high-flying foreign adults in their hearts.
is just a face, and everyone in the team relied on their strong skills to defeat many Dutch people.
However, as soon as the previous hours of high-intensity fighting led to a decrease in the team's physical strength and strength, people began to get injured one after another.
Those men who fought with them suffered huge casualties.
This is not! Li Sancai kicked out with one kick before pulling the bayonet of the rifle in his hand out of the corpse of a man who had just stabbed to death.
His arms were like cotton filled, and even the simple action of drawing a bayonet could not be done easily.
After reluctantly drawing out the bayonet, he was involved in the wound on his thigh, and it was quite difficult for him to stand for a while; Just as he staggered, two more Lotus Men rushed up.
Faced with a new crisis, Li San's choice was to flip his wrist, and he threw the rifle with a bayonet in his hand like a throwing gun.
No way! He stumbled with the afterglow of his eyes, which he saw inadvertently.
Zheng Xiaozu, a Chinese teenager, was pinched by the neck of a tall lotus man and pressed to the ground, no matter how he struggled, it had no effect.
A childish little face, which has turned into a pork liver color because of severe lack of oxygen.
So let Li San instinctively, he threw the rifle in his hand and pierced the neck of the lotus man with a sharp bayonet.
Let Zheng Xiaozu, a young child, finally be able to breathe freely while coughing.
However, Zheng Xiaozu's vitality represents the arrival of Li San's death.
Li San, who didn't wait for his empty hand, urged the last bit of internal force in his body to grab the white blade empty-handed, and the two bayonets had already stabbed from one left and one right.
In an instant, he stabbed his waist to pieces.
Even so, Li San did not give up resistance.
His right hand reached for the spare dagger at his waist, intending to throw it out like a throwing knife, and to take another Lotus Devil with him before he died.
It's a pity that even such a careful wish before death, he doesn't seem to be able to do it.
Only then did his right hand touch the hilt of the sword, and he was stabbed by a bayonet behind him.
What's more, the three Dutch men did not immediately draw their bayonets, but instead used all their strength to stir him up from the ground.
Not only did the wounds on his body become more and more painful under the drive of the sharp bayonet.
After he was lifted high in this weird way, he saw extremely heart-wrenching scenes, such as:
In the team of war elephants, she is recognized as a tough girl like a melee meat grinder, and she doesn't know how many people were hacked to death with bloody two-handed battle axes, and she was taken care of by the Dutch people.
After several consecutive gunshots, the girl who had been shot three times in the chest fell with her head held high.
Although the DIY body armor on her body successfully blocked the penetration of the bullet.
But the power carried by the bullet, even if it was buffered by the pair of capital of the war elephant proud team, still broke her I don't know how many ribs.
Now that he fell to the ground, he couldn't get up after struggling a few times, but a dazzling blood stain flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Like him, it seems that he can only wait for death.
Lao Tie, who was not far away, saw this, and his eyes immediately turned red.
The result? Before he could scream to kill the big baby who came to save him, the butt of a gun had already been hit heavily on the skull; This time it was so hard that even the butt of the gun was smashed.
The same exhausted old iron immediately fell like a wooden stake.
And Barong, this dude......
In short, after Li San hurriedly looked at it.
Everything indicates that in this Surabaya City crisis, they reaped a fiasco; Not to mention that the whole team was wiped out, but presumably most of the casualties were also killed.
Thinking of such a point, Li San, who had already entered the countdown to death, was full of monstrous resentment in his heart.
Then, Li San didn't know if it was a hallucination before he died, and before he completely stopped breathing, he saw such a scene that surprised him very much:
In the air, there was a huge whistle that broke through the air.
Before everyone on the battlefield could react, there were three 210 mm shells, at most with an interval of only one second; They slammed into the ground of a nearby street, or on some houses.
Immediately, this large-caliber naval gun immediately showed its terrifying lethal power.
One of them fell a hundred and ten meters away, a shot on the street.
Like a volcanic eruption, a deep hole immediately appeared in the street, and several surrounding wooden houses collapsed like building blocks and flew away.
More than a dozen lotus people around the bombing point disappeared directly from Li San's eyes.
At the same time, a staggering amount of stones, sediment, bricks, and shrapnel flew in all directions, driven by the terrifying blast wave of the explosion.
The personnel dozens of meters away from the bombing point were also put to the ground one after another.
With just one shot, sixty or seventy people were killed; Although two of them were affected, it seems that they will not survive.
Just seeing such a scene, Li San did die with a sense of relief.
At this moment, he no longer cares about the death of himself and his own people, and only wants to completely destroy them together with these ugly Dulands and natives, and even Surabaya City, which has become a hell......
The above sudden bombardment was certainly not a hallucination of Li San before his death.
It was the shelling of the Xuange Battalion fleet, which had finally arrived here.
Under the sound of a huge explosion, and even a crisis that might affect themselves, a group of Chinese Americans who were covered in blood shouted in their mouths with ecstasy on their faces:
"Fire, keep firing, blow up these foreign devils."
Like Li San's thoughts, they have already put their own life and death out of the way.
But the people of the Xuange Battalion and a group of Chinese people saw it; The Holland people apparently didn't think so, after a few more rounds of shelling.
Colonel William, who had been in the rear of the troops' safety for the time before, commanded the operation.
That is, the lieutenant of the governor of Vic, after hurriedly getting on the war horse, ran away as soon as possible; When the other Dulans found out, they were also completely devastated.
Or, to put it another way, they've collapsed long ago.
It's just that now, these Dutch uncles, who are used to being powerful in the colony, have really reacted at this moment.
After turning around, they began to flee desperately.
It's just that this is not their backyard, where can they come and go when they want?
The concubine, whose whole body seemed to be fished out of blood, waited for a pair of red eyes, and shouted out in her mouth: "Chase, whether it is a native or a lotus orchid, no one can let them go and hack them to death." ”
As he spoke, he took the lead in chasing and killing the shells that still fell.
The others did not hesitate when they heard this, and they also chased and killed them in unison.
Saying! Under the power of large-caliber artillery, even the Dutch people, who were obviously more knowledgeable, were currently reacting so badly.
Those Javan monkeys, after being hit by artillery fire, will only behave more badly.
When the Xuange Battalion fleet, after firing five consecutive salvos in the direction of the flare, it entered the free-fire mode and beckoned the shells to other positions.
Because outside the three security zones and the Li family's manor, an astonishing number of natives had gathered, and the formation was even denser.
Therefore, after each shell falls, the lethal effect is naturally even more terrifying.
As soon as a shell fell, dozens or even hundreds of people were blown away, and a bloody rain scene full of stumps, broken arms, and flesh began to fall into an area of tens of meters around it.
Finally, the natives woke up from the urge to kill and loot.
All that was left in their hearts was fear, so that they didn't want anything, only some fear of wanting to get out of here completely, how far, how far they could escape.
Thus, the cries of these natives changed from the previous madness full of killing to the screams of terror in the midst of artillery fire.
Some of the natives, like a swarm of flies that didn't have them, scurried around the city.
The other part of the natives knelt down and begged for mercy.
There may be some differences in movement and reaction, but they are all trying to dodge such an artillery bombardment, so that they can survive such a shelling like the sky is falling apart.
Under the expressions full of horror, for a while, there was still the slightest bit of the fierceness that was like cannibalism.
To put it bluntly, these monkeys are just some bullying and fearing the hard......
