Come to Daming with military supplies

Looking from a distance, there may be no less than four hundred warships. This powerful lineup fell into Zhao Changxiang's eyes. Instead of having any fear, he was still very excited.Finally, there is a piece of fat in front of me, and I can eat one happily.

But what happened next changed Zhao Chang's plan to eat alone.After the Second Sea Division entered the ambush circle, a large number of enemy ships appeared on its north, east, and south sides. No matter which direction you look from, there are about [-] enemy ships.This is compared to five times his own strength.

Faced with such a situation, Zhao Changxiang first had a fierce struggle in his heart, and then quickly made a decision. He called the telegraph operator and said, "Report the situation in front of us to the Sixth Young Master and the Navy Command, and at the same time Call the Fourth Sea Division and tell them that all the enemies have appeared, and they can act now."

"Master." Shen Xing, the head of the regiment who was accompanying him, shouted loudly, "Our Second Hai Division can eat these enemies, why are we still asking for help from the Fourth Hai Division?"

The underlying meaning of Shen Xing's words is, why should such a great contribution be given half to others?

To this question, Zhao Changxiang’s answer is, “The fat is too big, our Second Haishi can’t eat it at all, so we call the Fourth Haishi for help. Not only will we not eat less, but we will eat more, and at the same time, we can reduce our fat loss.” Loss, why not do it?"

As the division commander, Zhao Changlai has military discretion in the Second Division.At the moment he sent the order to the telegraph operator.What he didn't expect was that he not only got the news that the fourth master agreed to make a move, but also received praise from the sixth young master.

The general idea in the telegram is that Zhao Chang has a big picture in his work, and has truly integrated sincerity and unity into actual combat. Very good, the sixth young master is very happy, and privately rewarded Mr. Zhao with a box of Wunan Wang cigarettes and a hundred altars of good wine.

Considering the quantity produced, cigarettes have become one of the most sought-after goods as soon as they come out, and because they consume too much, even the generals in the army have a monthly quota.And like

It is the Wunan ace cigarette that has just been inaccessible, and it is the best quality among them, which is no less influential than the current Zhonghua cigarettes.A box was sold at once, and at the same time, there were hundreds of altars of good wine. This kind of real reward was sent to the entire Yang army by telegram.

Remember, it is the entire Yang army.It is not limited to the First Navy, nor is it the entire First Navy including the Second Navy, but as long as it is in the Yang Army, it will be notified of this news.At the same time, everyone was envious of these benefits, and they were even more envious of the second division commander, Zhao Changxiang. Needless to say, he was given such an award by the sixth young master.

Why did Yang Chendong do this?

It's very simple to say, and he told all senior military officers how important unity is through such demonstrations.As long as you have the overall situation in mind, even if you don't have much merit, the bonus points you can get are indeed much higher than if you acted alone.

Zhao Changxiang was shocked by this telegram, and soon he became very excited.But when the excitement passed, he began to ponder the significance of this matter.So, after he figured it out, the Second Hai Division did not immediately counterattack, but continued to drill towards the middle of the encirclement.

Now that he already knew that he was surrounded, it meant he knew the opponent's tricks. Zhao Changxiang was not in a hurry. The goal is to buy time, in order to make this battle more beautiful.

The Second Hai Division was surrounded, but they did not flee immediately, but continued to move forward, heading towards the center of the battlefield.This also made Ma Kecheng, who was about to order the action, hesitated, which made Prime Minister Ferdinand, who was with the army, unable to understand.

Shouldn't normal people run away immediately when encountering such a thing?Without entering the besieged central area, although it would cost a lot to escape, there is still hope for at least a breakout.But once in the middle of the battlefield, even if you want to escape from a ship, it will be very difficult.

For this reason, the five-star army navy division will not be unaware, but why are they still approaching in the center of the battlefield.Puzzled, the two still had to think about it when they got together, because they would never feel at ease if they didn't clarify this issue.

Soon, the two reached a consensus, that is, the reason why the Second Hai Division did this must be because of their arrogance.In other words, the five-star navy is very proud. They are afraid that they don't think highly of these pirates at all, so they dare to take risks.

No wonder the two of them thought this way.According to the news from the scout clippers following the Second Sea Division, since they discovered each other, none of the warships of the Second Sea Division had ever left, and they were surrounded by them during the pursuit of more than three days.Facing this extremely definite news, it just explained one thing, the Second Hai Division has no reinforcements, nor any assistance, so what is it not to be arrogant and proud if it is not to go forward?

"Haha, it is said that the five-star army is very powerful, but I didn't see it, but now I see their arrogant and arrogant side. Very good, if they don't take others seriously, don't blame me It's not human. Use the command flag to tell other ships not to rush

, Let the enemy move, shrink the encirclement at the same time, wait for the enemy to appear in the middle of the battlefield, and attack together.

Ma Kecheng was furious, he was pissed off by the arrogant arrogance of the Second Hai Division.In the past, all the enemies surrounded by his formation, either panicked or fled in a hurry, or even had difficulty displaying [-]% of their usual combat power.But the Navy Second Army actually did the opposite, and didn't pay attention to his encirclement at all. Even so, why does he need to be polite?Just hit it hard.

With an order, the Second Navy, surrounded by thousands of warships, headed towards the center of the battlefield without haste.During this period, their speed was very slow, but they kept walking, so these pirates did not have other ideas.Anyway, it is impossible to go out to report under the siege, so why worry about people running away?

So, the next half of the day was spent in this kind of dawdling, until ten hours later, the fourth sea division sent a message that they had arrived at the designated location, and they could drive the first one at the second sea division at any time. After the cannon, enter the battlefield and give the pirates a blow from the back. Zhao Chang, the commander of the Second Sea Division, ordered the whole division to prepare for battle.

During these ten hours, except for the necessary personnel on duty, the other officers and soldiers of the Second Division Leng Feng were resting and sleeping in the cabin.But all veterans know that the more battles there are, the more they must maintain sufficient physical strength. Only in this way can they perform better on the battlefield.

After ten hours of rest, the commanders and fighters are in a full state of mind and full of strength.The moment the division headquarters gave the order, the four regiments under it immediately separated and came, with the division headquarters as the center, respectively guarding the four directions of east, south, west and north, and guarding the four directions.

This is called the four-sided defensive formation, and it has been practiced a lot during the usual exercises.But this is the first time it has been really used, and it is also the first time in the history of the five-star navy that the real division system has been surrounded by people.

The four-sided defensive formation was completed in less than half an hour. When the pirates more than a dozen miles away discovered their strangeness and began to approach them, the four regiments had already prepared for the attack. All ready.

As the second sea division composed entirely of cold fronts, all ships except transport ships were equipped with 100mm mortars.The advantage of this artillery is that it is small in size, easy to carry, and easy to move. It can be placed on the bow or in the middle and stern of the ship, and can be adjusted arbitrarily according to the direction the enemy is coming from.And the closest attack distance can reach thirteen miles, which can already guarantee the effect of killing the enemy at a long distance.

As for the division-level units, there are also five fourth-level warships.Among them, there is one in the division headquarters and one in each of the four regiment headquarters. Type 61 100mm single-barreled naval guns are installed on all the fourth-tier warships. Its rate of fire: 12 rounds/min, range: (to the sea) kilometers , (air) 14 kilometers, elevation angle: 85 degrees, bomb weight: kilograms, muzzle velocity: 895 m/s.

This 100mm naval gun was successfully developed after Yang Chendong took out the finished product from the big warehouse, and spent more than three years researching it on the sea ship stone in Chixian City.This kind of naval gun that can shoot 45 nautical miles away is also the strongest artillery that can be produced by itself currently developed by Chixianchenghai Shipyard and Arsenal.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

With the production of the 100mm single-barreled naval gun, the sea shipyard and arsenal of Chixian City have also mastered more high-end technologies. It is conceivable that with the promotion of Yang's books and knowledge, the future will There are more and more advanced artillery available.

Zhao Chang went to the fourth-tier warship where the division commander was, and there was a 100mm single-barreled naval gun at the moment.At this time, the cannon barrel was facing the pirate group that was rushing towards them, eager to try.

"Report the distance." Zhao Changxiang picked up the advanced telescope used by the division commander in his hand, and asked while looking at the distant sea.

"Report to the division commander, the enemy ships are still ten nautical miles away from us."

"Wait a little longer." When he heard the distance of ten nautical miles, Zhao Changxiang put down the binoculars and said in a calm manner.

Although it is said that the distance of ten miles is already within the coverage of all artillery fire, Yang Chendong still did not give the order to attack immediately.He has learned from intelligence that the strongest artillery in the west is only three miles away at this time, so as long as he fires at it outside this range, the initiative is still in his hands.What's more, in a fight, Zhao Changchang couldn't guess what kind of reaction the opponent would have in the face of such a powerful artillery.

What if you can't stand the force and turn around and run away?If you run away at a distance of ten miles, you will probably rush out of the 100-mile range of the [-]mm mortar. If this is the case, if you only rely on the artillery of four fourth-tier warships to attack, the effect will not be very good. , so he has to wait a while.

"Report to the division commander, the enemy ships are still eight miles away from us."

"Report to the division commander, the enemy ship is still six miles away from us."

"Order all the ships to aim at the target and fire." After hearing the distance of six miles, Zhao Chang didn't hesitate anymore. If he doesn't fire at this moment, it will give the opponent the possibility to rush in front of him. Once the opponent can fire If you suppress yourself, the loss at that time is inevitable.

After the order was issued, the command flag fluttered continuously on the strings of the division's ship, and then the first shell was fired. It was the fourth-class warship that Zhao Changxiang was on.The shells flew out from the mouth of the barrel like a whistle, and fell straight towards the group of pirate ships that were approaching.

"boom!"

The shells whizzed out, and even though they had already aimed at the target, they hit the first shot, hitting a large ship with more than 300 people in the group of pirate ships, and then the pirate ships were brightly lit, ammunition splashed, and there was no defense at all. After being hit, the hull of the ship began to break, countless crew members were killed or injured, and the screams continued one after another.

And this kind of scene like purgatory on earth was just the beginning. Then, countless artillery roars sounded, and then countless shells rushed out of the warships of the Second Sea Division, flying towards the enemy six miles away. The enemy ship flew away.

Some shells are very accurate, usually one shot can lightly destroy a small enemy warship; if the shells are not shot accurately, they will also cause a stormy wave when they fall on the sea, startling the nearby pirate crew Shouting, eyes full of fear.

As pirates, they are used to threatening others, robbing others, and watching others show fear in danger.But when everything falls upon me,

Only then did they realize how dangerous this was, and only then did they realize that their quality was not much higher than those who were robbed before, and some were even far inferior.

The cannonballs sounded one after another, without stopping.Although it is said that the Chixiancheng Arsenal is still very slow in producing artillery shells, it has been six years since the establishment of the Navy, and it has been nearly a year since the shells were successfully developed. There has never been any major war. The storage capacity is still very large, and there is still no problem in using it for several large-scale naval battles.

The artillery roared continuously, and the confidence on Ma Kecheng's face had long since disappeared in the depths of the pirate ship in front of him. He was asking loudly the distance to the five-star navy division. He couldn't believe it, how could the other party be so far away? Cannonballs can be shot from a distance, and they can even hit themselves, all of which are beyond his imagination.

To be able to dominate one side and become a pirate organization that Abu Bakr spent a lot of money to win over, Ma Kecheng is still very confident in himself.

Every day he sees scenes of the weak preying on the strong, and he clearly understands the importance of weapons.For this reason, he bought artillery at a high price from the Western fleet passing by at a high price. It was an artillery that could hit two and a half miles away, and it was definitely a very powerful type at that time.

Although he also knew that the artillery in some western fleets could hit three miles away, he also knew that they would never be sold, otherwise, wouldn't it mean that they had the possibility of threatening each other.But even if it is three miles away, once they encounter his wolf pack tactics, they are doomed to end in failure.

Before the war started, the furthest artillery of the five-star army navy division in his mind was three miles away. It was because of this that he dared to dispatch all of them to surround the opponent.But what he never expected was that the artillery was fired six miles away, and it caused such heavy damage to himself, and it seemed that there was not only one artillery, but countless.

This result made Ma Kecheng a little unacceptable. At this moment, he already regretted his act of being an enemy of the five-star navy division.

Also unacceptable to the side was Prime Minister Ferdinand, the special envoy sent by Abu Bakr.

He came here to see how the five-star navy was besieged and wiped out, not how they were defeated.So when he saw that the opponent had fired and began to severely damage the pirate ship, he couldn't help but asked Ma Kecheng, "Brother Ma, why didn't you order to fight back?"

Ferdinand was a civil servant after all, so he naturally lacked a certain understanding of the artillery equipped on sea ships.In his view, pirates have more ships and more artillery. Now that the opponent has already fired, it is better to fight back. At worst, it is a lose-lose situation.
