Tobol gave the order, and all the gunners immediately began to reload ammunition, adjusted the muzzle of the gun to aim at the enemy warships, and fired fiercely. When he found that the opponent's firepower had increased three times, Abadis did not panic. He thought
It is normal for the opponent to hide his strength. Even if these hidden strengths are exposed, they are not as many as a first-class battleship of our own. Such strength is not terrible. But when a cannonball hits a second-class battleship on his left,
-class battleship, a terrible scene occurred.
The huge shell only made a small explosion when it hit the deck of the warship, but the scattered flames ignited everything. The thousand-degree flame emitted by trinitrophenol can melt even steel, let alone wood.
Warships, high-temperature flames spread rapidly on the warships, and the tall sails instantly turned into burning torches to point out the direction for the artillerymen of the Iron Blood Army.
At this time, the crew members no longer cared about shooting, and everyone joined the fire-fighting team. However, these flames were chemical flames, which were difficult to extinguish by the crew members who did not have the necessary equipment. Several crew members suddenly used axes to chop the fire.
Towards the mast, as long as the most severely burned mast and sail were thrown into the sea, the fire on the ship could be reduced by half. Unfortunately, their efforts were wiped out by several cannonballs that followed.
With such a huge target shining brightly around it, how could it not attract the artillery fire of the Iron-Blooded Army? After the hull was hit by two incendiary bombs again, the ship completely burned. The fire became bigger and bigger and could not be controlled at all. Some panicked people
Sailors began to jump into the water to escape, but more people were surrounded by flames.
After a few minutes, both the wooden hull and the bodies of the crew turned into burning torches. Even the heavy steel cannons turned into a puddle of molten iron. The terrifying high temperature quickly turned the warship into ashes. Seeing this
Abadis was completely stunned by the scene. He had only seen iron ball cannonballs and could not imagine how powerful the cannonballs were. Before he could react, the warships around him began to be hit one after another, and the bullets
Without exception, all the warships quickly burst into flames.
Looking at the hell on earth in front of him, Abadis was so frightened that he collapsed in his seat. Abadis was frightened and ordered to retreat immediately, but when he turned around, he found that the fleet was the last
The dozen or so warships above had burned into a wall of fire, completely blocking the narrow channel that could be used for retreat.
An officer next to Abadis came over tremblingly and asked: "Commander, what should we do?"
Abadis slumped in his chair and replied tremblingly: "It's too terrible. I won't fight. Let's surrender. Surrender." As he spoke, he sat on the deck and cried like a child.
Seeing the white flag flying on the other side's warship, Tobur smiled and said: "Order everyone to stop shooting and ask Fu Mingcheng to send someone to take over the warship."
Although the Wild Continent does not have a navy, there are still a lot of small sampans used for fishing. A regiment of Predator soldiers got on more than a hundred small sampans and headed towards the New Guinea Navy. These New Guinea Navy are quite honest.
, or in other words, there is not much fighting will left.
Under the surveillance of the Iron-blooded Army soldiers, New Guia's warships slowly docked at the dock of Port Moore. The New Guinea naval soldiers headed by Abadis were escorted off the ship by the Iron-blooded Army soldiers. At this time, Abbadis
Dis was still sobbing with runny nose and tears. Such a tragic war really frightened him.
Looking at Abadis being taken away, Fu Mingcheng curled his lips and said: "With such a useless commander, no wonder it was so easy to win a big victory. I squatted on the infantry position for a long time in vain." Fu Mingcheng never won the battle.
Very dissatisfied.
Tobur smiled and said: "That's good. I will report to the young master and put this living treasure back. It will be much easier to fight among the enemy with him."
Fu Mingcheng nodded: "That's right." After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed.
"Tobur and his team completely defeated New Guia's Southern Fleet. Not only did they capture seventeen large and small warships, they also captured Abadis, the commander of New Guia's Southern Fleet." Zhang Haiyang excitedly read out the message from the Savage Continent.
"Great, another great victory." The staff members of the Naval Staff discussed excitedly.
Liu Junguo looked to Fang Xiaoyu beside him for advice: "Lord, what should we do?"
Fang Xiaoyu touched his chin and said: "The military strength of the Kingdom of New Guia is not at the same level as ours. It is not difficult to win, but we must pay attention to the interference of the Saer Empire and the Nantes Empire, as well as possible sneak attacks by the Japanese."
Zhang Haiyang said: "Last time we fought with the Cossack navy and the Japanese navy did not dispatch any troops."
Liu Junguo said: "This time is different. Last time we fought at home. If the Japanese navy wants to deal with us, we are not sure of victory. This time we have to go south. If the Japanese attack us secretly, the main fleet will take two days at the fastest.
It will take days to get back.”
After hearing Liu Junguo's analysis, Zhang Haiyang looked at the chart and frowned: "Where does the commander think the Japanese will attack?"
Liu Junguo said: "Our coastal defense is not bad now. The shore artillery in various ports cannot be dealt with by the current strength of the Japanese navy, except here." Liu Junguo pointed his finger on a point on the chart. "
"Diaoxiao Island." Zhang Haiyang said in surprise.
"That's right, it's Diao Xi Island." Liu Junguo explained: "Since the last naval battle on Diao Xi Island, we have actually occupied this place. Xia Houmin didn't pay much attention to it, so we hoarded a lot of materials here for convenience.
As a transit base. Due to the short time we occupied it, the fort there has just begun to be built and is simply not enough to withstand the attack, so this is our weakness."
Fang Xiaoyu frowned and said: "But once we attack here, we will be retaliated by our returning main fleet. The current military strength of Japan is simply not enough to resist our attack."
Liu Junguo smiled and said: "If my guess is correct, the Japanese navy will attack there with a pirate flag. Afterwards, as long as the corpses are destroyed and the traces are wiped out, we will have nothing to do with them if we can't grasp the handle. Not to mention that they can wait for our returning main fleet nearby.
, they are just waiting for work, and we have returned from the expedition without supplies. The offensive and defensive situation is similar to that between us and the Cossack fleet. It is really hard to say whether we will win or lose."
Zhang Haiyang said: "Actually, this situation is easy to solve. As long as we replace the gun barrels of the training ships at the Naval Academy, overhaul the machines, and then add them to active service, we will have enough defensive fleets." Liu Junguo also nodded.
The head expressed his agreement with Zhang Haiyang’s opinion.
Fang Xiaoyu frowned and walked around the room twice and suddenly asked: "If ten torpedo boats are used to defend Diaoxia Island, do you think it can be defended?"
Liu Junguo and Zhang Haiyang looked at each other, and Zhang Haiyang replied: "We have just recently installed a new torpedo with a range of one nautical mile and a speed of 17 knots. I think it should not be a big problem to deal with the Japanese fleet."
Fang Xiaoyu said: "Okay, then we will not refit the training ships, but also spread the news that the training ships have caused structural damage due to that voyage and the subsequent naval battle, and have long been unfit for use. We are going to dismantle them into
Scrap metal.”
"Master, what are you trying to do..." Fang Xiaoyu narrowed his eyes and said fiercely: "I can only commit thieves in a thousand days, but I can't guard against thieves in a thousand days. Last time I wanted to wipe out all the Japanese navy, but unfortunately the Sa'er Empire interfered and made me fail.
, this time I will use Diaoxia Island as bait to eliminate them in one fell swoop."
Five days later, the main force of the Chinese leadership fleet, a formation of four battleships and twelve cruisers with the "Lanting" as the flagship, set sail first. They made their last stop at Diaoxia Island for supplies and then sailed towards the Kingdom of New Guia.
Since the last defeat in the war, the compensation for ceding territory has caused a huge change within the Japanese country. Many high-ranking officials in the DPRK were forced to retire. Because the huge amount of compensation not only emptied the Japanese treasury, but also greatly restricted the economic recovery.
The entire Japanese country fell into poverty. In order to raise funds to restore the economy, the king of Japan even put forward a call to eat only one meal a day. Despite this, the poverty of the Japanese country has not been alleviated.
The country's economic difficulties inevitably affected the recovery of the navy. Due to the lack of funds, the navy not only had no money to purchase new ships, but even daily maintenance was very difficult. As a result, the Japanese navy did not have a chance to go to sea once a year. It really couldn't afford it.
Water money and machine maintenance fees.
Faced with such a predicament, the Japanese navy naturally hoped to get a windfall in order to resume the daily training of the navy. For their hatred of the Chinese leading navy, their target was naturally placed on the Chinese leading navy. Unfortunately, its strength is increasing day by day.
Strong, and then defeated the Cossack navy, which made the Japanese navy even more frightened.
This time, I received the news that the main force of the Chinese navy was going to the Kingdom of New Guia to participate in the war. The cunning Japanese naval commander Ito finally saw the opportunity for revenge. The Japanese navy was extremely jealous of the countless material reserves on Diao Xi Island. Now there is no
With the protection of the fleet, they were ready to take action. In this way, they could avenge the last failure, and secondly, they could obtain a large amount of much-needed finance. This was two birds with one stone.
Under Ito's order, the captain of the cruiser "Yoshino", He Yuan, was to lead all four cruisers of Japan, with the "Yoshino" as the flagship, the "Kongo", the "Tsukushi", and the "Katsuragi".
A cruise fleet sailed towards Diaoxia Island under the pirate flag.
"They are really coming." There is a hidden lookout post at the highest point of Diaoxia Island. Zhang Haiyang is here. He holds a telescope in his hand and looks at the four cruisers that are approaching quickly on the opposite side. He feels excited. Look.
As the opponent's cruise fleet gradually approached, Zhang Haiyang picked up the phone and ordered: "The torpedo boat formation will attack immediately." After receiving Zhang Haiyang's order, ten torpedo boats were divided into two formations and rushed out from both sides of the island.
