174 Assault on Tsushima Port (Part II)
It took a while for the group to begin to express their opinions. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"This ...... It's our fleet, right? The North Koreans don't have that many ships, right? ”
"That's right! Yi Sunsin's ship is not like this! It's our ship, right? ”
"But that's not what our ship looks like!"
"Whose ship is this?"
"The Devil Knows ......"
"Boom!"
A loud bang interrupted their discussion, and then they saw something they didn't know what it was and smashed into the middle of a group of warships on their left with a loud smoke, directly smashing one of the warships, lifting the waves four or five meters high, and almost overturning the surrounding ships.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! ”
A series of bombardment sounds resounded throughout the space, and one after another shells descended without warning on this port where the wind and waves were calm and the world was peaceful a second ago, so that everyone was at a loss, and some people could only watch the cannonballs come and couldn't even move in horror, such as the people on the lookout platform, who were directly broken by a cannonball, and everyone fell into the sea together.
There were many worse than them, many of them were resting or guarding on the ship, and there were people who were carrying goods, who were dazed by the sudden shelling, and only knew how to escape, and for a time the whole port was in chaos.
However, the bombardment was far from over, and after the bow of the ship was fired, Deng Zilong decisively ordered the fleet to advance in two directions towards the front left and the front on the right, and aimed the hull of the ship at the port.
"Reloading!! Ignition!! Put!! ”
With a wave of the flag, Deng Zilong's flagship fired first, and the cannonballs were much denser than the cannonballs that had just been fired, and the shells rained down on the ships and buildings in the port, mixed with solid shells and flowering shells, and the cannons were constantly fired one by one, as Chen Lan ordered the main fleet to join this artillery feast, at most there were more than 100 Francophone salvos, and the roar shook the heavens and the earth.
This kind of momentum not only stunned Li Sunsin, but Deng Zilong, who had never imagined the scene of so many cannons firing together, was also stunned.
If each ship of the Daming Naval Division could be equipped with so many cannons, or more cannons, would the Daming Naval Division still be beaten into the southeastern hinterland by the Japanese Invaders? Is this what Admiral Xiao called a new style of water warfare tactics? As long as there are enough artillery to defeat the enemy without close combat?
Deng Zilong thought so.
If each ship of the North Korean naval division could have so many guns, would there still be a defeat in the port of Busan? Do you still need to wait for the Daming Naval Division to be dispatched before you can fight the Japanese at sea? Will there even be a need for the Ming army to help the Koreans recover?
Yi Sunsin envisioned it.
The ships were sunk one by one, pierced by shells, and even smashed into pieces, and were directly shattered, and the broken pieces of wood and lead were splashed and fell in densely populated places, and these people died in groups without a place to be buried, and even the whole body could not be saved.
One hundred warships and nearly three hundred transport ships sank into the sea under such an overwhelming blow, and the sea was full of broken planks and sails, and the constantly fluttering Japanese sailors were desperately rowing towards the shore, Deng Zilong saw the situation on the sea through the clairvoyant mirror, and immediately ordered the bird gunners and crossbowmen to carry the small sentry boats to decisively attack and hunt the Japanese soldiers who fell into the water.
At the same time, Chen's flagship fired a red arrow, an order for all ships to press on for extended artillery bombardment.
Chen Lin observed through the clairvoyant mirror that the Japanese ships in the port were almost all destroyed, and there was no sign that the Japanese would set up ships to meet the attack, which should be just as Xiao Ruxun expected, because the Japanese invaders could not imagine that the Ming naval division would unite with the Korean naval division to prevent the port of Busan from ignoring and directly taking Tsushima Port, so they did not fortify, so they did not have the psychological preparation for the Ming Dynasty coalition to raid Tsushima, once the raid was successful, they would have no power to fight back.
Therefore, Chen Luan decisively issued an order to extend the artillery bombardment to clean up the coast to prevent the army from being raided by the Japanese when it landed, and the front-line commander Deng Zilong immediately raised the order flag and ordered all the front-line warships to listen to his order, move forward, extend the firing range of the artillery, and begin to set up shooting land, preparing for the landing of wolf soldiers.
They faithfully followed the tactics formulated with Xiao Ruxun to carry out this battle, in fact, it was very simple, the first step was to destroy the warships of the Japanese invaders, the second part was to use superior firepower to clean up the Japanese invaders on the port and the coast, and the third step was to land on the beach and start attacking Tsushima Island.
In order to cope with the attack of the naval division, Xiao Ruxun also used the surplus troop carrier to hand over the 3,000 people of Luo Shangzhi's department of the southern army to Chen Luan to enhance their troops to land on the beach.
This part of the men and horses is estimated to be relatively elite, everyone is equipped with iron cannons, and the wolf soil soldiers are not familiar with the tactics of iron artillery, so they must send the southern soldiers who are familiar with the tactics and are fully equipped with bird guns and iron cannons to help the wolf soil soldiers fight.
After the naval warship arrived at the predetermined position, the ship-based Franc aircraft began to fire in full swing, and the more fierce firepower than just now was overwhelmingly attacking the port of the Japanese invaders, and for a time the flames were full of flames and explosions, and everywhere you could see the dead and blown up corpses of the Japanese invaders, as well as the stumps and broken arms, and the officers and men of the naval division on the ship began to use rockets and fierce fire oil tanks to burn the remaining Japanese warship transport ships and supplies together, and the entire port suddenly burst into flames.
Against this backdrop, Chen ordered the warships to separate, the troop transports rushed out, and the wolf soldiers and the southern soldiers began to rush to the beach and land on Tsushima Island.
This battle was so unexpected, Chen Lan didn't even think that this battle could be fought so easily, none of the main warships were damaged, and the losses of the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division were minimal, and hundreds of ships of the Japanese Kou were beaten and sunk to the bottom of the sea, and a few were burning, and hundreds of ships were scrapped like this, even if the Ming Dynasty was rich and wealthy, he did not dare to consume the ships of the Navy Division like this.
It can be said that no matter how many ships there are in the port of Busan, no matter how many ships there are in the Japanese mainland, Chen Lan has the certainty of victory in this water war, relying on this novel pure firepower tactic!
As soon as he thought of this, Chen Lan looked at the centipede ship attack team under his command that had not yet been dispatched, and he remembered the ship of the Francosis machine man that Xiao Ruxun said, and there was a lot of anxiety and eagerness in his heart.
I don't know, I was startled, under such firepower, the gang jumping tactics are completely meaningless, because you can't break through this firepower network to get close to the enemy ship, and when I think that sixty years ago, the Francophone had a warship with thirty-four guns on board, and Daming had less than ten ship-based guns until some time ago, and the firepower was far from it, Chen Lan was anxious.
If, that is, if, if the Francos attack again, what kind of ships will they bring? Will the shipboard artillery be more than fifty? Will there be artillery with a longer and more terrible range?
