Chapter 187 Burning Vladivostok (1)
The weather in Fang is very cold, especially at dawn, dripping water turns into ice.\/
The Vladivostok fortress under the night was like a sleeping sheep, quietly lying in the arms of Mount Amur, without feeling that the catastrophe had already come to its head.
At dawn, it was the deadliest moment for people to sleep. In addition, they knew that it was snowing outside and there was nothing to do, so the Russians were sleeping in.
With all year round stability, even the sentries of Vladivostok fortress will relax their vigilance at this time and find a place to wander.
On the Japanese Sea east of Vladivostok, a battleship formation consisting of four battleships is advancing through the waves.
Battleship Beijing
"Report! Navy Team 6 has entered the scheduled location, waiting for orders."
With the report of the Communications Soldier, Fleet Commander Lieutenant General Lin Jianzhang and others also breathed a sigh of relief. Since their pockets were already tied, they were about to take action.
"Report the position of the fleet!" Lieutenant General Lin Jianzhang asked.
Major General Meng Mu, the captain of the Beijing battleship, picked up the phone and asked, "The direction is 12 or 15 knots away from the designated location, and it is expected to arrive in the target waters in ten minutes."
For the battleship itself, the direction of c00 refers to the direction of the battleship's land. The right side is 270, and the back is 180. For the fleet, c00 points to the east, c90 points to the south, and 270 points to the north.
Chain is a naval term. 1 chain is 1852 equivalent to 1/10 nautical mile.
Festival means that a ship sails 1 nautical mile and 11 nautical miles in one hour.
Lieutenant General Lin Jianzhang ordered the military cap and said: "Order. Notify all units. The combat alarm is sounded. The reconnaissance plane takes off immediately and prepares to shoot for the fleet artillery. Ten minutes later, use the signal flare as the number. According to the calibration coordinates, it will also attack Vladivostok. No shooting shall be stopped without orders."
"Yes!" Major General Meng Mu picked up the phone and repeated Lin Jianzhang's order: "Notify all units. Get a combat alarm! First-level combat readiness!"
As Lieutenant General Lin Jianzhang, the highest commander of the fleet, issued a combat order, the police of each ship suddenly rang and resounded throughout the Pacific Fleet.
"Please pay attention to all personnel! Please pay attention to all personnel!" The radio speakers of each ship rang one after another.
"Enter each of your combat posts immediately and prepare for the first level of combat!"
“Repeat.”
"Enter each of your combat posts immediately and prepare for the first level of combat!"
"This is not an exercise!"
"Repeat! This is not an exercise!"
In each cabin, the naval officers and soldiers had already changed into combat naval uniforms and sat in their positions neatly.\After hearing the battle alarm, all the officers and soldiers immediately stood up and picked up their already-placed helmets in an orderly manner, exited from each passage, and entered their respective combat posts.
After the main turrets rotated to a position perpendicular to the side of the battleship, the original horizontal barrel was quickly raised to the combat state, and from time to time it made a sound of metal friction in people's ears. The secondary cannons at all levels also opened the protective baffle and extended to the outside, as if the rugged steel giant beasts on the sea stretched out their terrifying fangs.
Suddenly, the ships raised their battle flags one after another, and the Pacific Fleet entered a tense and orderly busy life.
Five minutes later, with the report of combat preparations coming from various artillery positions, the Pacific Fleet had entered a state of combat.
The battle mobilization and combat preparation were completed so quickly that the members of the "Observation Team" admired them.
Looking at the combat qualities and discipline of the officers and soldiers of the Pacific Fleet, Lin Taizeng, the acting Admiral of the Beiyang Navy, was filled with pride and jealousy.
Once upon a time, when the Beiyang Navy first established its army, it was like this. The generals used their lives and the soldiers were full of passion. How might the navy be in the east of the world!
However, at this time, looking at this well-trained navy, except for the same language, none of them belonged to the Qing Dynasty.
Lin Tai and others were not fools, of course they already knew Zhang Yunfei's strength. Even if they rebel now, the Qing court would have to be beaten. Lin Tai had communicated with Liu Bu many times in private, why did Zhang Yunfei not use force to make the court surrender, but instead were willing to be a general of Shengjing. Every time they talked about it, they even thought that Zhang Yunfei only wanted to be an iron hat king!
However, even Zhang Yunfei's subordinates didn't understand such things, why did their Yuan do this?
Many things are as calm as the calm sea, and they cannot be seen, but the surging under the sea has never stopped.
Five minutes later, the battleship formation stopped steadily in the predetermined waters.
"Stop and break down!" Captain Major General Meng Mu ordered: "Keep the boiler steam force, calculate the flow pressure immediately, and correct the error!"
In order to better maintain the accuracy of shooting, considering that the coast patrol fleet blocked the Golden Horn Bay, the Russians did not have the ability to attack the main fleet at sea, so they boldly adopted the method of fixed shooting in warships.
Maintaining the boiler steam force can make emergency avoidance when the warship responds to sudden situations. Measuring flow pressure is the biggest error factor when the naval gun is fired. Because of ocean current pressure, the displacement that the warship students cannot detect, causing shooting errors and making it impossible to accurately hit the target.
After everything is ready, the communications soldier reported: "All units in the fleet are ready. Please indicate whether to launch an attack!"
Lieutenant General Lin Jianzhang looked at the time and nodded to Chief Xu on the side
: "I originally planned to implement it!"
"yes!"
The communications soldier immediately took out the signal gun and pointed it towards Vladivostok. He heard two bangs, two dazzling illumination signal flares soared into the air, causing two dazzling little stars to appear in the dark sky.
"The total attack begins!"
"The total attack begins!"
...
As the total attack order is conveyed step by step, the millimeter main gun groups of each ship in the battleship formation will fire first.
Dongdongdongdongdongdong!
In an instant, the steel giant beasts on the sea roared like thunder, and the shells that were out of the bore through the sky like meteors, smashing towards the sleeping Vladivostok. The huge recoil caused the huge body of the 13,000-ton battleship to slant slightly to the other side.
If the generals of the Beiyang Navy who were the audience on the bridge had not been given a vaccination in advance, they would have made a fool of themselves. Even so, a few people still covered their ears by the sound of thunder, lost their balance, and fell to the floor.
So powerful!
Lin Tai once showed an excited expression, but sighed in his heart that they were both 12 inches, but the main guns of the Beiyang Navy's Dingzhen Second Ship were 100,800 miles away from the main gun's landlord gun. Excluding the materials and craftsmanship of the main gun, the amount of shells loaded is incomparable.
Dongdongdongdongdongdong!
After the main gun was fired, the sub-cannons of each ship immediately filled this brief gap. Although the sound was not as loud as the main gun, it was because of its large number and its power was not inferior to the main gun.
In an instant, the front of each ship was covered with thick smoke, and the sight was obviously blocked by thick smoke, but the shooting was not affected. Fortunately, it was not a naval battle, so there was no need to stare at the eye to find the location of the enemy ship. Vladivostok's targets were drawn on the map. After being calibrated, the shooting elements were shot, and there were air reconnaissance planes who were fired at the fleet when their eyes were compared, which was much more convenient than observing on the warship.
Boom boom boom boom!
The shells smashed into the streets and alleys of Vladivostok like raindrops. After the shells fell, the violent explosion instantly cleared everything around them like a harvester.
Balls of red and black stinky flames rose into the air. After burning out the flammable materials around them, they turned into black smoke and stayed in the air. At first, they were mushroom-like, and gradually merged with other mushrooms and turned into dark clouds that covered the sky and the sun.
Vladivostok is located in the bitter and cold area in the north, so in order to prevent cold in winter, the Slavs often used wood as building materials. In this case, it was obviously very fragile to be attacked by dense fire shells.
The air waves and flames generated after the explosion of the shells were like rolled pancakes, sweeping the Slavs and their houses into the sea of fire in hell.
Maybe this is indeed the time when people sleep the deadliest, maybe the Slavs who are sleeping soundly would never dream of someone attacking them!
Perhaps God also felt compassionate and took the Slavs away quietly while they were sleeping. However, it seems that these Slavs were not all liked by God, or had done many bad things during their lifetime, and many people were kept by God and received punishment.
The rumbling sound of cannons shattered the windows of every household and woke the Slavs in their sleep.
After waking up, they were stunned by the scene in front of them, surprised, fearful, and helpless. Why did they wake up and find themselves lying in the ruins, pooling in blood, receiving the torture of the sea of fire and the baptism of the cold wind?
There were rumbling cannons everywhere, and screams were wailing everywhere. Unfortunately, only familiar sounds could be heard, and bloody hands were shaking unceasingly outside the ruins.
Since the shell coordinates are set, even if the shells cause various errors when flying in the air, the final result is the same as the advantage of the number of artillery artillery in the fleet.
The key targets of the round of attacks were the Russian team's arsenal, ammunition depot, granary, military camp and fortress. Under the surveillance of aerial reconnaissance aircraft and the continuous corrections, the shells of the Pacific Fleet seemed to have eyes, and as if they were waiting for the anxious groom, they couldn't wait to get into the bridal chamber.
Boom boom!
Two 400 kilograms penetrated a suspected ammunition depot like a rat. After a violent explosion, there was a chaotic explosion sound, followed by a dull sound, and the entire Vladivostok trembled.
On the Sparrow One, which was reconnaissance in the air, Major Xue Muhua looked down at the battle situation below at a height of 500 meters, while recording that all the military targets had been destroyed. After seeing a huge cloud rising here, he immediately gave the fleet a signal.
‘Target No. 22 was destroyed and judged as ammunition depot’
That's right, this must be an ammunition depot, otherwise only large poverty bombs from later generations could do such a large cloud.
Then a series of calibration targets were hit. Major Xue Muhua, with his own judgment, kept recording what buildings were hit.
Boom! Boom!
Someone was hit by a target, but the scale of the explosion was also very large, and it was all rising into the sky. However, Major Xue Muhua did not hear the chaotic explosion. It should not be an ammunition depot. Judging from the scale of the combustion and the rolling smoke that quickly emerged, it should be a warehouse for the Russians.
Chapter completed!
