461 Tremendous encouragement
The battle of the flagship Zhennan ship gave great encouragement to all the officers and men of the Daming Naval Division.
I have to say that this kind of encouragement is really huge.
On the one hand, the Navy Division has repeatedly fought to obtain great prestige and military exploits and rewards, and on the other hand, the Army's training and petty fights day after day, those old people who have followed Xiao Ruxun for a long time are dissatisfied with this.
The sailor division was formed after Xiao Ruxun arrived in Burma, up to the general soldier of the sailor division Jiang Dahai, down to an ordinary officer and soldier of the sailor division, all of whom were refugees who arrived in Myanmar Town, and the Ningxia soldiers who followed Xiao Ruxun to conquer the south and fight in the north and the bloody frontier could not be compared.
At many celebration meetings to celebrate the victory of the Navy Division, there were army generals who sneered, and the officers and men of the Navy Division couldn't help but come forward to theorize, and those old army people always came up with the reason that "Lao Tzu and Xiao Dashuai have shed blood and killed thieves together, what about you", which made the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division speechless.
That's right, the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division have brilliant achievements, huge results, and their status is rising, but there is always a hard wound, or emotional deficiency, that is, they have not followed Xiao Ruxun to fight side by side in the bloody field, and those old people in the army always say that they and Xiao Ruxun fought in the south and the north, not to mention how deep their qualifications are.
However, the largest general soldiers of the Navy Division were all from homeless people, and after arriving in Myanmar, they were promoted step by step by Xiao Ruxun, although they were cronies, but they had never fought side by side with Xiao Ruxun.
This is a great regret for the soldiers who admire and respect Xiao Ruxun's military exploits.
I haven't fought side by side with the Lord of Burma, people are old bosses, we are new, don't we have to tremble in front of others?
Moreover, the strength of the naval division is not as large as that of the army, and the total strength of the naval division is more than 8,000, and there are simply not so many warships used in peacetime, and there is no such large-scale naval battle.
The army's tens of thousands of tigers and wolves are well-equipped and well-trained, and they are much more comfortable than sailors who play games on the sea and the sea all day long.
However, this is also the reason why the army is dissatisfied, so the sailors do not want to be in tune with them, and live a life of only training and no fighting, and the officers and men of the navy division can be rewarded every time they come back from a great victory, while the army can only watch the officers and men of the navy division get the silver and get soft, but they themselves get nothing.
After a long time, pink eye will inevitably be committed, and the contradiction between the army and the sailors will become profound.
But I have to say that this is also quite normal, there must be disputes in the army, the army and the navy are not naturally against each other, in the past, the sailors of the Chinese empire were always in a weak state, not to mention that they could not form an independent army, and with the passage of time, they were almost completely banned.
And here in Xiao Ruxun, the sailor division is an independent army, there is an establishment and treatment, there is a long-standing shipyard to manufacture and maintain warships, and there is a recruitment office that regularly recruits officers and soldiers of the sailor, as well as a set of processes, Xiao Ruxun said, the sailor is also an indispensable member of the army, and we must maintain the sailor for a long time and always protect the maritime frontier of the empire.
What the? Don't know what Haijiang is?
Come, come, come, let me tell you, wherever the Imperial warships go, it is the Imperial Maritime Frontier.
It is true that the size of the naval division is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more officers and soldiers, but the naval division is still looked down upon by the army, feeling that they have no fine traditions, and this is also the truth.
And this time, Xiao Ruxun not only personally led the troops to attack, but also set up a ship to attack and join the real sea battle, this time, the bastards of the army can say nothing, and they can no longer say that we have no fine traditions, and we have not fought with Xiao Dashuai!
The sortie of the Zhennan ship gave great encouragement to all the officers and men of the naval division, and the morale of the naval division was greatly boosted, and even those gunboats that had buried themselves in running away and playing obscene tactics saw it, and they all mustered up the courage to turn around and counterattack the Spanish ship, which took the Spanish by surprise and suffered a lot of shells head-on.
On the one hand, they were pressed and beaten by one side, and on the other hand, they were jointly resisted by gunboats and two large ships, and the Spaniards fought very hard in this battle.
But it doesn't mean that the army is fighting easily.
Two hours after the start of the war, the Spanish warships fell into a bitter battle, and the Ming army had sunk seven warships, killing five or six hundred officers and men, while the Ming army also lost two gunboats, some of whom had not had time to be saved, and more than 100 sailors were killed, and the battle between the two sides was still very fierce, and the situation on both sides was more or less deadlocked.
The moment when the stalemate was broken was the sinking of a warship, and it was Wang Wei who broke it.
At that time, Wang Wei's front-line command ship, the Dinghai ship, which was in the center of the battlefield, found a crumbling ship trying to leave the battlefield, and Wang Wei decisively would not let go of this crumbling ship, in his opinion, every sinking of a Spanish warship was a great victory.
The equipment of the two sides is not much different, the firepower is comparable, the ship is strong, it belongs to a tough battle, it depends on who dares to touch more, and is not afraid of sacrifice, Wang Wei is undoubtedly the person who dares to touch, he is a Zhejiang refugee, he has no father or mother, he knows nothing, and the reason for joining the navy is that he does not want to die in a mess.
With such an idea, he joined the sailor, and after three years of fighting, he became the deputy chief of the detachment, which he never imagined, he was also a talent with a talent for water warfare, and was promoted by Xiao Ruxun to lead the troops to fight, and since then his goal has changed, and it has become to find ways to create something memorable value and then die.
The Weiyuan ship under his command has not sunk any enemy ships in this battle, but it has been hit with two holes, the water crew is desperately repairing, and the other three warships are protecting the Dinghai ship from being attacked, Wang Wei was very angry in his heart, and was looking for something to vent, just when he saw the crumbling ship.
It seems that at most three rounds of artillery bombardment can send it completely into the sea, since this is already the case, then don't spare it, let a warship sink in the sea, it is not the best fate as a sailor.
"Catch up with that Xiyi warship! Sink it! ”
Wang Wei gave the order to pursue, and the Weiyuan ship pursued the crumbling ship at full speed, and took out all its guns to shoot at the battleship.
Boom Boom Boom ............
The accuracy of dozens of shells was not very good, only seven shells hit, and the crumbling ship was dragged further to the bottom of the sea, but before it could be dragged down, the battleship was unexpectedly tenacious and tenacious, and it was still leaving the battlefield at full speed.
What a tenacity!
