Chapter 576 put it in and fight again, there is no doubt that these shore defense guns are actually the naval guns of the Gun and Artillery Bureau of the whole family, and they are directly dismantled from the warship, in addition to these eighteen naval guns of twenty-eight times the diameter, there are also eighteen 160 mm long-barreled cannons.and thirty-six mortars of 105 cannon meters.The mortars were not used against warships, but only against the landing troops who braved the artillery fire and prepared to seize the forts, and the garrison of Shengzhou Port had a total of 18 general flags, 18 batteries, and a total of more than 900 people.Organized a regiment, and the first head of the regiment was Mao Yuanyi's cheap brother-in-law Wang Zhongning.Wang Zhongning is Wang Wei's younger brother, nine years younger than Wang Wei, in the second year of Chongzhen, Wang Wei accepted Quan Xu's employment and became the editor of Quanji Books.At that time, sixteen-year-old Wang Zhongning found the capital, and then followed Quan Xu to Liaodong, Wang Zhongning went to private school for five years, directly entered the military academy of the whole family army, two years later, Chongzhen graduated in four years, entered the eighth brigade of the whole family army, served as the second lieutenant flag commander, with the expansion of the whole family army, he was promoted from second lieutenant to lieutenant, captain to the current major commander.In fact, Wang Zhongning's promotion speed is normal, and there is almost no personal relationship, of course, as a cheap brother-in-law, Mao Yuanyi will naturally take care of Wang Zhongning to a certain extent, but Mao Yuanyi's influence on the whole family army is limited.Yuan Zongdi is two years younger than Wang Zhongning, and he is a captain, and then promoted to a major, that is, Yuan Shiqing does not let Yuan Zongdi go out, otherwise, as long as Yuan Zongdi is released, at least a lieutenant colonel brigade staff officer starts.This is Wang Zhongning's command of a regiment's troops in actual combat, to say that you are not nervous, those deceitful.Fortunately, the soldiers were well-trained, and boxes of shells were brought out of the anti-gun holes and placed on the gun positions.The battle mode of the whole family army has never been soldier against soldier, general against general, but the advantage of the system, and the weapon of the whole family army is not a single one, for example, artillery, although the caliber has not been increased, has been developing and manufacturing 35 times 130 mm breech-loading rifled guns.Once the 35 times the diameter of the naval gun is matured to equip the whole family army, then the naval battle mode will be further rewritten, and the whole family army and navy will have a range advantage of 3,000 meters.Just like the current forts, except for the Shengzhou Port Fort, or the Port Arthur Port Fort in Liaodong, the other forts, including the Westerners, are now the same as the army artillery positions, not to mention the anti-artillery holes, and there is not even an awning.If you look at the batteries of the whole army, you will definitely find that they are almost the same as those of the nineteenth or early twentieth century, with sandbag fixed bunkers, communication trenches for supplies, and anti-artillery holes to protect soldiers from enemy naval guns.In particular, the anti-artillery holes, made of steel and concrete, are one and a half meters thick, and a layer of armor thirty millimeters thick is added.Not to mention the naval guns of this era, even in the nineteenth century, the naval guns of 200 mm caliber could not help the anti-artillery holes of the batteries.Eighteen batteries are arranged in an inverted V-shape, nine batteries are arranged on the left and right flanks of the port of Shengzhou, a total of 18 batteries, and the defense line is 3.8 kilometers long.Even if the main fleet of the whole family army is allowed to attack the port of Shengzhou, the whole family army and navy will cancel the action plan and instead look for other landing sites and attack the batteries by land, instead of directly attacking the port with warships."
Speaker Li, isn't there half an hour?"
Wang Zhongning smiled: "Westerners should climb too, right?"
”Although Li Xin is the vice speaker of the Luzon Parliament, and the chairman is Lin Feng, in fact, he, the vice speaker, far exceeds Lin Feng, the speaker, in terms of prestige and power.Li Xin was a little puzzled, with the speed of the eleventh or twelfth knots of the Galen ship warship in this era, half an hour, that is also twenty or thirty miles, how is it possible, it has not appeared after so long?"
Send a few scout ships to see!"
If there is no accident, the coalition forces of the fifteen European countries have already arrived in the Shengzhou Strait, but this accident really happened, this is the Luzon detachment.Although it is a Flying Fish warship, there are also Type I, II and III of the Exocet, and the detachment left in Luzon is actually an early Exocet II type, with a displacement of more than 300 tons, and it is also equipped with early 130 mm naval guns, which is the same batch as Helena.However, this time the Luzon detachment was not willing to be reduced to a supporting role, they fought quite tenaciously, they were like wolves around the migrating yellow sheep.Taking a break was a ruthless move, but they didn't fight hard, and from time to time they dropped a few mines, or looked at the slow-moving armed merchant ships, and fired at close range.Hit it or not, get out of the way right away.It was to adopt the method of naval guerrilla warfare to delay the attack time of the combined fleet of the 15 European countries and win more time for the defense of the port of Shengzhou.It was said that it was half an hour, but it took a full hour and a half for the European Combined Fleet to reach the port of Seungju when the sun was about to set.…… On board the Black Tulip in the Combined European Fleet, Reilly III holds a single-barreled telescope and looks at the port of Seongju.Sir Reilly's battle for fame was actually a sneak attack on the port, and Waterlle Raleigh relied on the sneak attack to obtain the knighthood and Queen Elizabeth's favor.Through the binoculars, you can clearly see that the original wooden pier has become a pier made of reinforced concrete pouring, and the pier is built into a long breastwall with sandbags, and many people are moving heavy sandbags to the ground like ants, and this breastwork is lengthening at an alarming speed.Look at the forts, there are a lot of sandbags in front of each fort, and I don't know what they are used for.Behind these sandbags was a shiny barrel that reflected a dazzling glow in the sunlight, and it looked like it was all new.However, there are not many of them, and there are only about 30 guns to survive, so what can such a small artillery do in the face of a huge fleet of more than 200 warships?
At most, it can only hit three rounds, and then it will be buried by the overwhelming shells that have smashed over!
After looking at the port of victory, Reilly III finally had the confidence: "This battle is won!"
”In fact, not only Sir Reilly, but other pirates, including the Dutch East India Company and the Spanish colonial army, all breathed a sigh of relief.The family army did not deploy many troops in Manila, and it was still expected by them."
Boys, attack, Luzon belongs to us!"
As the voice of Reilly III fell, the combined European fleet let out a loud cheer, if the port of Shengzhou was an iron walnut, they would not fight, but retreated all the way to Sumatra.Just like encountering the main force of the whole family army in the Taiwan Strait, even if it is impossible to avoid a decisive battle with the whole family army, the battlefield should be chosen in the Strait of Malacca.Because in this way, the logistics supply line of the whole family army can be lengthened, relatively speaking, they are more familiar with the Strait of Malacca, and they have geographical advantages to take advantage of.These fierce pirates shouted with knives, axes and spears, among them Spaniards, Portuguese, Dutch, British, French, Chinese, Malays, Japanese ronins, and even blacks, it was a super hodgepodge, and it was difficult to find anything in common in them.However, the bloodthirsty eyes were surprisingly similar, as if a wolf was facing a sheep, revealing a cruel and cold fierce light."
Everyone, prepare to ......"
Seeing that the combined fleet of the fifteen European countries had entered the range of the battery's artillery, Wang Zhongning was ready to give the order to open fire.Located in the headquarters of the No. 5 gun position, Li Xin stopped Wang Zhongning and said: "Major Wang, according to the word, I shouldn't say this, but our colleagues in the industrial party should give up their suspicions and unite with the outside world, I think that we should not open fire now, especially the strength of our batteries should not be exposed too early, and the enemy should be brought closer, and it is best to even be able to hit them with mortars!"
”"Why?""
There's no time to explain, the Westerners are going to open fire, hide in the anti-artillery hole, I'll tell you slowly!""
Huh......"
Reilly III said a little strangely, "why did these soldiers run away?"
Do they want Manila anymore?
”Although the family army changed the name of Manila, the Europeans did not recognize it, and they still called the port of Shengzhou Manila.Whatever, anyway, you call yours, I call mine, don't interfere with each other."
Needless to say, they must have been frightened, how could it be compared to our more than two hundred warships with only twenty or thirty guns?"
If it is a literal comparison of numbers, it is true that there is no comparison, and there are more than 200 warships in the combined ships of the fifteen European countries, even if it is the armed dealer with the least artillery, for example, at least there are more than 40 guns on each warship, especially on the Black Tulip, there are 90 guns.Then calculated that the combined fleet of the fifteen European countries has at least more than 8,000 guns, which is more than 300 times the artillery of the whole army's batteries."
Boom, boom, boom......, boom" dozens of warships began to arrive at the bombardment, at least hundreds of naval guns at the same time spewed out large flames, black pressure gunpowder smoke spread like a hurricane, the sea surface as if a black storm was blowing.The round lead ball flew out of the barrel of the cannon at high speed, converging into a burst of scorching hail and slamming into the Shengzhou Port Fort.The rifles from the muzzles of the hundreds of naval guns had not yet dispersed, and hundreds of naval guns opened fire violently, this time hitting flowering shells, and these round things landed on the docks, batteries, and hillsides with a strange trajectory and a roar... exploded into a large ball of fire, and the stone chips flew wildly, not to mention the lethality, the scene alone was scary enough.The European pirates who were clenching their weapons and preparing for hand-to-hand combat were greatly demoralized, brandishing swords and spears and shouting wildly, the lean faces of the Japanese samurai twisted and burst into laughter, and the tall and sturdy blacks were even more joyful, dancing war dances on the deck, no way, the entertainment nature of the blacks was too strong.PS: Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass, today is the third watch.
