Chapter Fifty-Three: An Easy Naval Battle
"Engine room, eight success rates, start. "A herald repeated the order, turned and ran towards the engine room.www.biquge.info
"・・・・・・" just now, the enthusiasm dissipated in an instant, and it was wiped out.
Chen Xin looked at this way of giving orders, which was like an old-fashioned army's errand and giving orders, and was embarrassed and at a loss, "Lao Bai, when we designed this battleship, didn't we come up with a microphone command mode like the Sea Shark class?" ”
Facing Chen Xin's question, Lao Bai replied solemnly, "Master, this is an all-steel battleship, and it is also the first all-steel test ship we built.
On top of that, the battleship was hundreds of meters long, and every turn had to overcome extremely strong tensile forces, so I didn't dare to work between the compartments in terms of hull structure.
After all, with the riveting technology we are using now, there is no way to make a thick pipe connecting the various compartments in this new structure, and at the same time ensure the structural strength of the hull.
Therefore, this is the only way for the battleship to pass orders. ”
"・・・・・・" Chen Xin was silent for a moment, and then emphasized again, "step up the research and development of the telephone system." ”
"Yes, my master."
On the other side, everyone in the command room was constantly busy, making various preparations before the battle began.
"The Marines waited for the signal and prepared to forcibly board the ship for inspection."
"105mm artillery preparation, under the command of the gunner, to carry out artillery bombardment of enemy pirate ships that have not lowered their sails."
"The rest of the caliber artillery is ready to fill in the gaps and destroy enemy ships that intend to get within 500 meters of the ship."
After giving the order, Captain Li personally took control of the steering wheel, and with the left rudder full, he flanked the enemy's fleet.
Chen Xin looked at it for a while, and felt that he couldn't help here, so he walked out of the bridge and entered the cabin on the lower level.
The bottom is also divided into many different compartments, and there are thick gates between the cabins, which can be used to urgently disconnect the leaking cabin from other compartments in the event of a water leak in the ship.
As soon as Chen Xin entered the reserve cabin connected to the bridge, he saw that a large number of armed men had gathered here, and it seemed that they were preparing for the battle.
Seeing Chen Xin coming in, the leading officer of the armed men stepped forward and greeted, "Your Majesty, why did you come here?" Any indications? ”
Chen Xin glanced at the Tiger Ben Medal on the other party's body and the logo on the collar badge, and knew in his heart that these people were all marines, and it seemed that they were ready to jump into the gang at any time.
Shaking his head, "It's nothing, I'll just go around, you're busy with yours." ”
An officer beside Hu Ben heard the conversation between the two, his eyes flashed with golden light, and he immediately knelt on the ground, "See the lord." ”
With the actions of this person, others also followed suit, and all of a sudden, in front of Chen Xin, there were all people who worshiped with great bows.
Chen Xin frowned: "What's going on?" ”
The only tiger officer who did not kneel hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, these are all unemployed samurai recruited from Japan, and they have been in charge of raiding and harassing Japan before.
Because of their courage and outstanding results, they were transferred to form the marines on this all-steel test ship.
Maybe it's because it's the first time I've seen you, so I'm a little excited. ”
"Yes, I am very excited to be able to meet my lord here.
The minister really didn't know what to say. ”
Chen Xin was relieved that because of the shortage of soldiers and his own strategy of using Japanese to control Japanese soldiers, a large part of the Marine Corps were unemployed samurai recruited from Japan.
These people practiced sword martial arts for many years, and their personal skills were outstanding, and because the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan continued to suppress the local daimyos, they lost the occupation on which they depended. It was a force that was very suitable to deal with the Tokugawa shogunate.
Chen Xin raised his hand lightly, "Everyone, please get up." ”
"Thank you, Lord."
"I, the United Kingdom of China, have long abolished the kneeling ceremony, so you should keep it in mind."
"Hi"
"Then the king is here, and I wish you all the warriors triumphant. Everyone knows that this king has never been stingy in rewarding meritorious servants. ”
When these Japanese people heard this, they felt like they had been beaten with chicken blood, and their eyes began to turn red.
"Will I die for the Lord's house." The sound resounded through the cabin.
At that moment, the deck trembled as if the ground were shaking, and then a continuous loud roar like thunder was heard in my ears.
"Here we go."
All the 105mm howitzers on the all-steel test ship fired shells continuously, and the huge shells hit the water, splashing waves and wetting the pirate ships that did not want to surrender.
When the third round of shelling sounded, there was a cheer from the artillery deck above, as if sinking an enemy ship.
Everyone fell silent, silently counting the number of artillery fires outside.
When the fifth round of shelling was over, the sound of artillery suddenly intensified, and it seemed that those 88mm guns and 40mm guns also joined the battle, and the various guns with different rates of fire made the sound of artillery very messy.
But Chen Xin, who has a supercomputer, can clearly distinguish the status of each cannon in the continuous sound of cannons, and even, if Chen Xin is willing to increase the power, Lao Bai can clearly distinguish the damage caused by each cannonball outside.
However, Chen Xin was reluctant to waste his energy so much, and continued to walk towards the cabin.
The Marines sent Chen Xin away, and then restarted their combat preparations amid the shouts of the officers and non-commissioned officers.
Listening to the sounds outside, the battle seemed to be in the heat of the day.
105mm, 88mm, and 40mm shells flew in the air, smashing on any enemy ship that tried to get close to their own ships.
During this period, a large number of experimental weapons appeared, trying to show their power.
However, the continuous firing did not last long, and after about 15 minutes, the sea suddenly calmed down.
Not at all as Chen Xin expected, an all-steel battleship, even if it has not yet completed outfitting and the personnel cooperation is not in place, in the face of some wooden ships, it is really crushing, and there is absolutely no accident.
Just about 10 seconds after the gunfire stopped, suddenly, in the lower cabin, the electric bell belonging to the Marine Corps rang.
The Tiger Officer shouted, "Action." Then, with a steel shield in his left hand, a long and a short saber hanging from his waist, and a flintlock-style revolver, he rushed out first.
A large group of Japanese cannon fodder, wielding swords and rifles with bayonets, also followed with murderous spirit.
