    [238] Bayonets at Sea The roar of the British naval guns continued like drums amidst the agitation of the water. The three warships of the North Sea Fleet, Haijing, Tai'an, and Weiyuan, which had not dismantled their guns, counterattacked in the face of the British gunfire and rushed into 2300  Mihou returned fire with the bow guns of three battleships.  The Sea Mirror has a total of three artillery pieces, one 160mm and two 120mm, which are installed in a triangle shape on the bow; the Tai'an has ten small guns, arranged in the gun bay like a centipede with hundreds of legs, and there is only one 120mm gun on the bow; Wei  The Yuan has a 178mm Krupp cannon at the bow. Only the front pair of the six 120mm Krupp cannons can fire forward.  So when the North Sea Fleet opened fire, Commander Griggin of the Royal Navy's China Fleet laughed.  "These poor idiots only have the bow gun range of three ships, and only 7 guns in total can fire. Hahaha" The British Navy has a tradition that every battleship must be equipped with naval cadets, even if they are  A five-hundred-ton gunboat also has a crew of 6 to 10 cadets. As the flagship, the Ellercourt carries 17 naval school cadets.  Hearing Griggin¡¯s ridicule, the five cadets and several other officers on the bridge observation deck at the front of the ship laughed gracefully.  "Your Excellency, Baron, I think the resistance of these Chinese people has added interest to this naval battle. Otherwise, I really don't know how to report back to the Parliament and Her Majesty the Queen in the subsequent battle report." A clerical staff member said flatteringly.  Griggin smiled happily: "Halse, you are right, this is indeed a unique taste." Griggin focused on the pronunciation of the word "fun" and took a hard bite.  "Report to the commander, the bow of the USS Haijing was hit by two bullets, and the deck was hit by one shot. Emergency repairs are being carried out!" "Report to the commander, the bow of the Weiyuan was hit by one bullet, and emergency repairs are underway." "Report to the commander, the mast of the Tai'an is under repair.  One bullet hit the front deck and one person died. " "Report to the commander" Unfavorable news came one after another from the walkie-talkie.  Deng Shichang pointed at the walkie-talkie with a tigerish face and shouted: "All the North Sea Fleet listen to the order! Don't slow down! Raise the Z flag! Today next year will be the anniversary of the death of the enemy ship!" Seeing five warships braving the continuous fire of British warships  After nine minutes of sprinting and reaching 1,800 meters, Deng Shichang could no longer bear it.  "The gun commanders of each ship, order the recoilless guns to fire! Prepare the machine guns. Once they enter 800 meters, shoot the opponent's deck in advance!" Seeing the North Sea Fleet approaching in the distance being continuously shot, but hoisting the Z-shaped flag, Griggin was proud.  Yangyang.  "These fools actually fly the Z flag The bow cannon at full speed will rise and fall with the hull, and there is no sight at all. None of the several shells hit the great Royal Navy, but they still fly the Z flag and fight hard. Haha  , order all warships to change to high-explosive bombs, start salvo preparations, follow my instructions, launch the first starboard salvo at 1,500 meters, hoist the front jib, use three-quarters of the main engine power, maintain a speed of 7 knots, turn on the spot, and carry out  Port side salvo! "Even in the Sino-Japanese War of 1898 twenty years later, the large main guns used in Dingyuan suppression could only hit 3,000 meters, and a 2% hit rate was good. Any further away would be inaccurate.  The same was true for the Royal Navy in 1877, so Griggin had been working hard, preparing to zoom in and launch a salvo of all naval guns within 2,000 meters.  Hu Yanyi took his own gun squad and another 80mm recoilless gun squad to sit on the bow of the river ship, nervously aiming at the enemy ship.  As the hull rose and fell, the giant target's movement in the optical sight became slower and slower.  More than a hundred years of scientific and technological progress have made even the optical sighting system on the Army's recoilless rifle much more accurate than the optical sights on naval naval guns these days.  "Let go!" Hu Yanyi roared.  Just listen to the sound of "Bang!", the muzzle of the 82mm ejected a puff of white smoke with flaming light, and the exhaust hole at the rear of the gun also spewed out white smoke.  Almost at the same time, another gun squad also pulled the firing wrench, and the bow of the Jiangjiang ship was suddenly shrouded in a faint smoke. The sea breeze blew by, and the smoke immediately dissipated without a trace.  The recoilless guns on the five battleships of the North Sea Fleet - Caojiang, Meiyun, Haijing, Tai'an, and Weiyuan - all fired. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" The strange sound like an explosion after the collision of gold and iron kept ringing.  Griggin, who was standing on the bridge platform, had not yet realized what the short cylinder on the bow of the North Sea Fleet was. A high-explosive grenade flew over, but it missed the hull and hit the towering  On the chimney!  A loud bang!  Cast steel riveted, extremely strong in the eyes of the British, up to seven millimeters thick, carefully riveted to the outside of the steel frame through cast steel semi-cylinders, fixed to the deck with four thin iron chains, the flagship Elecott's "  The great¡± chimney was blown right down the middle!  ? ?The power of the explosion was so powerful that there were many casualties on the deck below the chimney, but no one survived!  The huge explosion scared Grikin and squatted on the bridge platform on the spot: "What! What is that! Damn it, who can tell me what happened to the chimney!!!" As the North Sea Fleet approached, the deck of the warship  Numerous recoilless rifles with brackets fixed with long iron nails kept firing at a standard rate of fire of 5 to 6 rounds per minute. High-explosive grenades shuttled through the air and flew towards the Royal Navy.  In less than a minute, all Royal Navy battleships were hit one after another.  Seeing the huge explosions ringing out continuously on the enemy ships, Deng Shichang's blood boiled with excitement and he pumped his fists and cheered: "Hit it hard! Each ship is aiming at its own target and must hold on to it!" After various battleships of the Royal Navy were hit by bullets one after another,  It was immediately discovered that the Chinese artillery shells were extremely powerful. Unlike the British solid artillery shells, the Chinese Navy's artillery shells were all high-explosive shells, while the Royal Navy's blooming and explosive artillery shells had a very short range and could only be used within a distance of 1,500 meters.  "Salvo!" Griggin couldn't stand the explosions one after another on the battleship anymore, and ordered the fleet in T position to launch a salvo from a distance of 1,500 meters.  The black powder emitted a neat plume of thick gunpowder smoke. Forty-six cannons on one side of six Royal Navy battleships opened fire at the same time. Forty-six shells rained down on the battleships rushing towards them.  "The deck of the Caojiang was shot, two people were injured!" Deng Shichang stood on the bridge of the Weiyuan like roots, and gave an unwavering order: "Leave the British alone! Keep firing! The British ships are also made of wooden shells, and cannonballs  It's not as powerful as us! Let's see who breaks whose shell first!" Another high-explosive grenade hit the Ellercoat, this time on the side, with the wooden hull on top.  The explosive grenade was as fragile as paper, and a large hole with a diameter of three meters was darkly revealed in the hull!  There are already four such big holes on the Ellercourt!  One of them is close to the waterline, and the sea water is pouring in crazily!  The British sailors responsible for damage control repairs were helpless when faced with such a huge diameter hole!  Because the British army's two 500-ton small gunboats were close to the edge of the column, they were wildly attacked by a large number of recoilless rifles deployed on the sides of the North Sea Fleet for more than 170 rounds. Each boat was hit by six or seven rounds, and soon they were  It was destroyed, and in the explosion of black powder, the hull was floating and burning on the sea. It was obvious that the whole ship was dead or injured.  The two thousand-ton sixth-level ships Pegasa and Abatross were each hit by more than five high-explosive grenades. The hulls seemed to have been pierced by God's holy spear. The huge black hole was filled with smoke.  Lost combat effectiveness.  Unexpectedly, the barrels of black powder in the ship were also ignited by the explosion of the grenade. The Pegasa exploded from the central gun storehouse, and the entire ship was divided into two parts. The rear part carrying the steam engine began to sink, and the front part continued to sink.  cocked.  The bridge of the Abatross has been almost flattened, and all the commanders were killed. The entire battleship is floating on the sea with devastated black holes, and is still hit by dense grenades from time to time, making terrifying explosions.  The stern engine room of the fifth-level battleship Cleopatra was hit by a bullet. The hidden wheel wrapped in the iron guard wheel had been blown to pieces. The mast on the ship was also blown off. The entire ship lost power and followed aimlessly.  The waves are floating.  The high-explosive grenades did not let go of the lifeless warship, and they were still beating it hard.  "Baron Griggin, the Chinese artillery shells are too powerful! Our battleship is seriously damaged! As long as it is hit by one shot, it will be a huge damage that cannot be repaired! We must evacuate!" Staff officer on the Ellecourt  Terrified, he yelled at Griggin.  Griggin was dumbfounded. In just two minutes, his fleet turned into a pile of broken wood, floating like garbage in the waves. Such a result was beyond his imagination before the war!  "No! No! No! I want to duel with that despicable Chinese! Order the flagship to charge! Charge up! Use intensive broadside artillery to beat him into a sieve!!!" Griggin held the gun gifted by Her Majesty the Queen.  The long command sword was waving wildly, swaying on the bridge platform like a madman, but the remaining sanity in his mind still made him shed tears immediately.  "Ouch!!!!" Griggin finally burst into tears.  "It's over! China has the most powerful guns and explosives in the world. Such gunboats are invincible! As long as they enter their range, they will be completely destroyed! Wuwuwuwu Even facing a battleship, I  The Dei Lecourt can sustain more than two hundred rounds without sinking, but the Chinese can destroy the hull of my flagship with one shot! Those four-inch oak shells are made by the devil!  ! It¡¯s the devil! The Royal Navy is complete!?¡­It¡¯s over!  " Before Griggin could finish crying, he rushed into the Caojiang, which was 1,000 meters away. The crazy recoilless cannon sent four more high-explosive grenades, one of which hit the bridge. A mushroom cloud suddenly engulfed the deck, and smoke rose.  As soon as the gunfire cleared, the bridge platform disappeared. Griggin and his staff officers, together with several trainee officers, disappeared without a trace. On the three steam concealed transport ships watching the battle in the distance, the British officers.  They were so frightened that they frantically ordered the engines to run at full power and quickly headed south to evacuate the battlefield. However, the transport ship contained a large amount of coal and water. Due to the long supply line heading north from Hong Kong, the decks of the battleships were piled with coal, let alone the supply ships.  It is completely 200% of the carrying capacity. Although it has been consumed, there is still a fully loaded warehouse. Deng Shichang has never been as high-spirited as today. With a weapon like high-explosive shells in his hand, he feels that he is invincible at this moment.  !  Sink them all!  Leave no one behind, shoot them with machine guns!  Take no prisoners!  "Meiyun and Tai'an, let me catch up. We must capture the British transport ship!"  Signal saying, if they don't stop the boat, they will be smashed too!  Wash the deck as much as possible without damaging the hull!  " Political commissar Chen Weipeng had been silent before, but now he couldn't hold back his excitement: "Old Deng!  You are amazing!  " Deng Shichang took the hands extended by Chen Weipeng and performed a handshake ceremony somewhat unskilledly: "No, the recoilless rifle invented by the chairman is too powerful!  It's like a bayonet on the sea!  ¡± Please collect and subscribe! r1058 varwosoadconfig={cid:"23130",aid:"1036"};
