Chapter 283: Sneak Attack Crushing Bureau

No one could give Elmond an answer, and the Black Dragon's artillery took advantage of the decisive advantage of the "T" prefix to fire his side guns at the same time, bombarding the battleship Count Spee.

Due to the huge power of the cannon fire, the Black Dragon moved a little backward when firing the cannonballs at the same time.

In the next second, the flames appeared, the waves rushed into the sky, and the cannonballs rained down on the hull of the Count Spee, as well as on the sea around it.

The large-caliber cannon directly blasted a large hole in its deck, and another shell landed on the side of the command room, completely overturning the signal tower above the command room, and with a tooth-aching sound, the signal tower collapsed and collapsed into the sea.

The sailors on the Count Spee, clutching their ears and screaming silently, were pierced through their eardrums by the sound of the blast, and their heads were blank except for the lingering hum that made it impossible for them to complete their return fire.

However, Brigadier General Hawud, the commander of the Ajax, who was hiding from the sidelines and witnessing this scene, was completely shocked, not only by the crushing of the power of the artillery, but also by the crushing accuracy of the shooting!

Although the armed merchant ship of the Dragon Merchant Chamber had the advantage of surprise attacks and T-shapes, so many shells hit the target in the first salvo, and even if they missed, the deviation was not very far, and from this point of view alone, the gunners of this ship have undergone rigorous and systematic training.

But...... God, aren't they a chamber of commerce? Even if there are armed merchant ships, they are used to protect their caravans from being robbed, why is the firepower so terrifying? Even more powerful than his flagship! Even the German battleship Count Spee almost lost the ability to fight back under a salvo.

It's terrible, it's terrible, what do they want to do? Do they want to form a nation in the New World and form their own army?

One thought after another flashed through Commodore Havud's mind, but now the situation was completely tilted in their favor, and the Count of Spee had completely lost the intention of returning fire after this devastating volley, and they dragged the flaming stump to turn the bow of the ship with all their might, trying to get out of the battle.

But then, Commodore Havud saw the armed merchant ship flying the golden dragon flag sound its air whistle and rush out at a speed faster than his Ajax.

Instead of continuing to fire, their main guns used the small-caliber rapid-fire guns on the side to strafe wildly, as if they wanted to shoot the living forces on the enemy ships.

Those sailors who had just been fired by a salvo of huge cannons and were so shocked that they could not move were subjected to a new round of artillery fire, and they suffered heavy casualties for a while.

Unlike the machine guns on the battlefield, the rapid-fire guns on ships are powerful rapid-fire guns that can tear human bodies apart with just a little touch, and there is no need for healing.

Under the full force of the Black Dragon's hot pursuit, the sailors of the Earl Spee, like waste paper thrown into a shredder, were torn apart one by one, with stumps, broken arms, blood, internal organs, and splashes everywhere.

As the commander, Almond was too frightened by the horrific scene to speak, he hissed and tried to shout orders, but no one could hear what he was saying, all around him were screams and explosions, the ship's ammunition depot had been ignited and the flames were lit, and he knew that they could not escape.

"Abandon the ship! Everyone~~~ abandon the ship! ”

Almon roared feebly, watching the ammunition depot explode in an open flame.

Round after round of explosions were heard, and the Earl Spee, which had just been chasing the enemy, began to fall apart, its hull tilted, the sea gurgling inward, its sinking was irreversible, and the ship was completely scrapped.

"Oh my God...... What's going on here? No! My boat! ”

Commander Elmon muttered to himself, his eyes stiffened, and he felt as if he had just had a dream, a terrifying nightmare.

I don't know how long later, when the command room was about to be completely submerged by the sea, he pulled out the pistol on his waist, aimed it at his temple, roared "Long live the Empire", and randomly pulled the trigger.

The battleship Count Spee, sunk near the Plata River.

However, this episode was reported to deliberately erase the Dragon Chamber of Commerce and the Black Dragon, and the captain of the Ajax, Hawud, claimed responsibility for the incident, and it was he and his comrades who used a roundabout strategy to force the Count of Speese to sink to the bottom of the sea, and the German commander Almon shot himself.

"Yay~~~ Succeeded Brother Ghost! One round of artillery bombardment destroyed the battleship of the German devils, this is the actual combat strength of our Longxing Chamber of Commerce Navy! Mr. Zhou's training method is very effective~! ”

Seeing the enemy's battleship break into pieces and sink to the bottom of the sea in a series of violent explosions, there was an excited cheer from the Black Dragon.

This was the first time in the past few years of their training that they had encountered an enemy ship on the sea and started a real battle, and it has to be said that it was a perfect start.

Previously, they had at most disguised themselves as frigates to bully the little pirates, and this was the first time they had fought a real battleship.

However, Hong Ah Ghost was not carried away by this victory.

He said with a straight face: "Don't shout, what's there to be happy about?" The reason why we were able to defeat the enemy's battleships in one round accounted for a lot of luck, first of all, we were a sneak attack, and we had already set up a T-shaped prefix to meet the opponent in advance, and secondly, the enemy's battleships had already suffered some damage in the previous battle, and we were equivalent to Yi for the work.

Moreover, the opponent's ammunition depot was detonated, which sank so quickly, and they couldn't figure out our reality, thinking that it was the British reinforcements, so they chose to retreat directly without a fight, if the other side chose to fire back at such a close distance, then we would also have unavoidable damage.

Everyone should remember today's battle, write me a battle diary, list the areas we have not done well, and learn to say 'if', if the enemy does not choose to flee but fights back, how will we respond? What should we do if the enemy is a T-prefix and we are the attacked side? Well, I ordered to go down and sail to Buenos Aires for half a day of rest, and then return home. ”

Hong Agui's words were like a basin of cold water poured over the heads of everyone on the ship.

But this is their boss's style of doing things, although everyone does not dare to celebrate on the surface, they still secretly high-five each other in private, clenched their fists and waved them in the air.

Hong Ah Ghost turned a blind eye, and the original two-hour rest time was also extended to half a day, so that everyone had enough time to buy gifts for their families, and some children who did not have a family could also go to the bar to relax, after all, South American girls are famous for their enthusiasm, and who doesn't want to meet a wonderful love?

Brigadier General Hawud, the commander of the Ajax, silently watched the Black Dragon, which left a trail of black smoke and left, and could not calm down for a long time.

In the distance, the wreckage of the Earl Spee, faintly recognizable, some floating corpses gradually floated up from the bottom of the water, and only these wrecks can prove that there was a huge battleship on the surface of the sea just now, but it disappeared at this time.

The armed merchant ship from the Dragon Chamber of Commerce just patted its ass and left, not even leaving a word.

Hell, the other side actually has such a strong sea power? I must report to the Marshal when I go back this time, if I can seconded the fleet of the Dragon Chamber of Commerce to assist in the war situation in Europe, then the situation will be greatly improved.

Commodore Havud reassured himself and ordered his team to catch up with the wounded cruiser, dock at the nearest port for repairs, and report the incident to the British Naval Headquarters, his immediate superior, Williams Herbert.

However, Williams was silent for a while after hearing his report, and then did not mention the Dragons and their armed merchant ships, but praised Commodore Havud for his composure and coping, and not only that, but also transferred him back home to give him more cruiser commands, as if the merit of the battle was on his head.

Although Harwood didn't know what was going on, he also understood that it wasn't when he was talking too much, and he was inexplicably given the credit, but deep down he still remembered what he saw that day, and planted a small seed in his heart, that is, the seed of reluctance to engage this fleet head-on.
