Section 2761 Please treat them well!
The enemy was imminent, and it was too late to get orders from Paris, and the heavy responsibility of command fell on him.
De Rabio Sarabia asked the officer hopefully: "Can the shore artillery attack the enemy's battleship?"
He knew that the 150 caliber shore cannon was quite powerful, and it would be great if it could drive out the incoming enemy ships.
"No!" the officer shook his head and said, "The enemy battleships are loaded with heavy artillery, and the range is farther than ours. We cannot hit them, but they can hit our ships."
"Damn it, damn it!" de Rabio Sarabia said genuinely in hatred.
The sound of cannons outside the port was rumbling, and heavy artillery on the Nanhua battleships were slowly bombarding the French ships in the military port, revealing their fangs like demons, causing blood to fall into the hearts of the French.
After a while, de Rabio Sarabia said weakly: "Call the captains for a meeting!"
The captains came soon. They had a meeting before, but there was no result. This time the captains held another meeting and reached a consensus immediately: "You can't sit still and wait for death!"
It is not possible to fight, and the South China battleships outside are several times more than they are.
How can a frightened bird be able to fight?!
Then it is not enough to escape to other ports in France. The shore defense of the Brest Army Port is not effective, and the shore defense of the other ports is even worse, and it cannot withstand the offensive of the South China Navy at all.
You can only escape to Spain, or to North America!
When they said they had escaped to North America, everyone shook their heads again.
France is a land power, with only a few small colonies in North America. There are few birds left and right, and they are quite backward and even the ships cannot be repaired properly.
In the end, de Rabio Salabia decided to escape to Spain first to see the situation, so everyone dispersed and prepared separately.
De Rabio Sarabia wrote a letter, sent it to Paris to report the matter to the king, indicating that it was absolutely necessary that he could not let the battleship be sunk by the Chinese in vain.
The day passed quickly and night came, but the French did not escape at night.
In ancient times, it was not a last resort. They rarely sailed at night, especially at the beach. They planned to travel the next morning.
At night, the French are sleeping peacefully, and the damn Chinese are still firing fire.
Their six heavy artillery battleships were divided into two batches, one batch resting, one batch setting off firecrackers, and took turns to firecrackers, which did not cause much damage and disrupted the morale of the French.
What's more, the South China gunners have excellent artillery skills. Even if the light control is implemented at the anchorage of French ships, they can always hit the French ships. The officers and soldiers on the ships who were shot were shouting and screaming, which made the French even more worried. They didn't know when they would eat a bullet and die in a bad life.
Finally, the Frenchman with his eyes on the face of the pancakes got up and saw that he was sunk three more cruise ships, and several battleships were shot.
The cruise ships that were half-sinking or sinking in the anchorage were carrying masts exposed to the water, and were busy transporting injured sailors, corpses, etc. Some of the officers and soldiers of each ship had a solemn expression, some were depressed, and they were in a daze and didn't know where to go.
With rare high efficiency, when the day is dawn, the French ship leaves the port!
Everyone wants to escape, with the hope of a failure: "Where the Chinese are still sleeping? Then we can escape."
Twenty-eight battleships and thirty cruise ships left the port, and then encountered the interception of the South China battleships and cruise ships.
The French cruisers were useless and dispersed in an instant, while the battleships still walked together, trying to cover each other and increase the chance of escaping.
At this time, the South China battleships attacked strongly, leveraging their advantage of having many ships, and adopting a two-on-one stance, that is, the situation of two battleships attacking a French battleship, adopting the method of interspersed infiltration, constantly separating them, and then shelling and shooting them.
Before they could sail far from the port, the South China Ship successfully became a "three-person" with all the French ships, that is, the French ships were sailing in the middle, and there was a South China battleship and the French ships on both sides, attacking each other.
The French ships fired their bows left and right, and they were having a lot of fun fighting.
It is easy to say but also easy to do. The quality of the officers and sailors on the French ships was too poor. If it were the Spaniards, Dutch and British, and the South China battleships even if there were more than them, it would be difficult to form such a battle scene.
We must not only divide the enemy ship groups, but also maintain the same direction and distance with the enemy ships with unpredictable courses and attack.
The French ship was in chaos, and the officers with little experience issued vague and inconsistent orders. The sailors were at a loss and were at a loss. They even turned the French ships at a slow speed, and they had to stop and wait for them!
In the words of Captain Sun Zhicheng, the captain of the "Southeast Asia 163", "I'll go to have a sleep, maybe the French have not yet advanced!"
There are two South China battleships that cannot move side by side with the French "Tantang" battleship. It is not that the Chinese have poor levels, but that the "Tantang" battleships are spinning around in the same place and cannot move forward smoothly.
The "Tantang" is spinning around the sea, and it will be no more than a loss to be encountered. Therefore, these two South China battleships have no choice but to wait for it to sail and then chase and fight!
During the sailing period, it was not easy to operate a large sailboat. To make a three-masted battleship move, experienced officers need to give orders and commands, and many sailors must cooperate tacitly according to the orders, and none of them are indispensable.
Why do we say that the century-old navy is not possible with assault training? For example, the captains of the South China Navy battleships require global navigation qualifications, and also have records of hunting a whale in the unpredictable North Pacific (Baby Whale asked: "What mistake did I make?) Otherwise, I cannot become a captain.
To train a battleship captain in this way, first of all, you have to have money to support your fleet sailing around the world. Didn’t you say that there are ballast stones at the bottom of the sailing boat to stabilize the sailing boat? The ballast stones for those Nanhua training sailing boats that travel around the world are not stones, but large silver balls, which is prepared for any eventuality.
If something happens during the voyage, put silver balls in handy: bribery, purchase, or something, as long as you can handle it with silver, it will not be a problem.
In the view of Emperor Yan Changwu, every battleship captain is a priceless treasure. He would rather spend a lot of silver balls than keep his navy safe, that is, spend money to eliminate disasters.
The South China Navy was formed after continuous and high-intensity training. Due to the various protective measures, more and more mature officers and sailors were taken. In addition, the South China was established at sea, and there were also a large number of qualified seafarers among the people for the navy to choose from.
The four major maritime powers in Europe, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, have many officers and sailors with long-distance colonies, but the French have never been a maritime power. Battleships come from the craze for shipbuilding. Many of the officers on the ship were transferred from nobles, while most of the sailors were recruited from force, but they were not trained enough and their qualities were average.
What's worse is that the conditions on the ship are poor and there are not enough people. As soon as they leave the port, a batch of Chinese people were thrown away with shells and bullets. As a result, the officers and sailors on the "Tan Tang" could not control their battleships and could only turn around in the same place. The officers and soldiers on the two South China battleships watching were idle and were so anxious that they even wanted to send someone to help them manipulate them!
In the words of an officer on the ship, "My ten-year-old son has better skills in controlling ships than theirs!"
What is it hard to learn about Gaul chicken? It is ridiculous, sad, and miserable to learn from others to play battleships.
The sound of cannons roared, and French battleships advanced hard, and they were all in a tragic situation of being beaten by the South China battleships.
