815 one-sided naval battles

[Today's second chapter is presented, please subscribe!] 】

"Ready, fire!"

Boom Boom!

In the waters west of Kagoshima, there were bursts of artillery at this time, and more than 30 warships led by Hong Sheng were fighting fiercely with the warships on the side of the Japanese army.

However, the war did not reach a stalemate or tragedy, but was one-sided.

At this time, the naval fleet of the White Dragon Army not only crushed the warships on the side of the Japanese army in terms of the tonnage of the warships.

At the same time, the number of artillery, caliber, and shells of the White Dragon Army were completely inferior to the Japanese warships.

In particular, the Jiangbei Arsenal has developed a new type of explosive bomb and adopted a more mature fuse, so that the new type of shell can be used not only in land battles, but also in naval artillery.

In the past, the old shells of the White Dragon Army, due to the problem of the lead, could be used in land artillery, but could not be used on warships.

And now, with the solution of this problem, the new explosive bombs are equipped with the White Dragon Navy fleet, allowing them to take their combat power to a new level.

As a result, the naval battle tactics of the White Dragon Army's naval fleet have entered another stage.

At this time, the naval tactics of the Japanese army were still at the stage of rushing forward and engaging with the enemy's warships.

The guns on their warships also used solid iron bullets, and even if they hit the enemy ship, it would be difficult to cause much damage.

At this time, I saw a small warship of the Japanese army rushing over, and two shells were hit by the cannonballs fired by Hong Sheng's side, smashing into their hull.

After a while, only two loud bangs were heard, and the small warship on the side of the Japanese army was directly blown off by the waist, turned into two, and slowly sank into the sea.

Some large warships, with two guns, will not be blown in two, but will only smash a big hole in their hull and let them enter the water.

Before the warships on the side of the Japanese army could rush to the side of the White Dragon fleet, they had already sunk seven warships.

Later, Yamashita looked at the warship that had been directly blown up in two after only two shots, and his face was full of shock and fear.

"Yaga, how can this be, how can their shells be so powerful!"

Immediately, Yamashita Bongjin yelled hysterically, his eyes were indeed full of horror.

"General, you can't rush anymore, let's withdraw!"

A Japanese general walked up to the bottom of the mountain and said persuasively.

They haven't even rushed to the enemy ship now.

The range of their artillery is also far inferior to that of the other side, and so far two rounds of artillery have been fired, and they have not caused much damage to the enemy ships at all.

On the contrary, on their side, they have already lost almost ten warships, how can this battle be fought.

If they continue to fight, they will be completely committing suicide!

At this time, Yamashita Fengjin's mind was no longer thinking about meritorious service or anything.

He just wanted to lead the remaining warships and immediately withdraw from this sea area, and get as far away from the White Dragon Army fleet as possible.

In this battle, if he loses the thirty or so warships in his hand, after he returns, he is afraid that he will be directly hacked to death by Tokugawa Masamitsu.

"Withdraw, turn, and immediately evacuate this sea."

Yamashita Fengjin shouted loudly and gave the order to retreat, he didn't want to stay here for a moment.

Not long after the two sides engaged, Yamashita ordered the entire army to retreat, and the battle was completely one-sided.

Perhaps at this time, only those warships from the British or Portuguese colonists in Southeast Asia are worthy of being the opponents of the White Dragon Navy's naval fleet.

At this time, the warships of the Wa State no longer have this qualification, which is the advantage brought by technological progress.

Thundered!

The cannon fire continued, and more than 30 warships and hundreds of artillery pieces of the three detachments of the White Dragon Army took turns bombarding the Fengjin side of the mountain.

As long as the Japanese warship is hit, the best outcome is to be blown up and killed some Japanese soldiers.

The worst thing is to be directly blown up and the keel is broken, and the ship is blown in two.

After most of the Japanese warships were shot, they basically blew a big hole in the hull of the ship, allowing the sea water to pour in.

Although this is not enough to sink such a warship, once the hull is flooded, it will inevitably affect the speed of the warship.

And the warships of the Japanese army, which have slowed down, are approached by the warships of the White Dragon Army that are rushing from behind, and the chance of being shot will increase greatly, which is equivalent to slow death.

"Hey, these would-be robbers want to escape, I haven't had enough of it!"

Hong Sheng stood on the bow of the flagship of a three-masted gunboat, looked at the sea in front of him with a clairvoyant mirror, and said with a sneer as the Japanese warship that was frantically turning around and fleeing.

"Let the fleet move at full speed, and not a single Japanese warship will be spared."

Hong Sheng gave the order.

Peng Peng Peng!

Columns of water rose on the surface of the sea, and the warship where Yamashita was located, the fastest, was now desperately heading south.

They were still very far away from the White Dragon Army's warships behind, although they were still within the range of the White Dragon Army's warship artillery.

However, at such a distance, for those artillery of the White Dragon Army at this time, the chance of hitting has dropped significantly.

At this time, the White Dragon Army fired an average of 100 shells, and only one or two shells had a chance to hit the enemy ship, and the probability was low and terrifying.

On the side of the White Dragon Army battleships, the most commonly used artillery attack tactic is covered shelling.

A large number of shells smashed towards a sea ship, covering a large area of the sea, and there were always a few shells that hit.

At this time, with the power of those new explosive bombs on the White Dragon Army battleship.

Small shells can kill and injure enemy soldiers in the ship's cabin, and medium and large shells can kill enemy soldiers in the ship's cabin while killing enemy soldiers in the ship, which is also enough to cause damage to the hull.

Subsequently, after Hong Sheng chased the fleet for more than ten nautical miles, he left five Japanese warships again before giving up.

After all, Hong Sheng still has a large number of troop carriers behind him, and even if he leaves two detachments to protect him, he is not completely at ease.

"You little devils, even if you run fast this time, next time you meet you, you won't have such good luck."

Looking at the last dozen or so Japanese warships that were desperately fleeing in front of him, Hong Sheng said with a sneer.

"General, I always want to ask, why does the Hou Ye like to call the Japanese 'little devil'?"

At this time, a general of the White Dragon Army next to Hong Sheng, after hearing Hong Sheng's words, asked with a smile.

"How do I know, anyway, Master Hou called it like this, what can we do."

Hong Sheng spread his hands and said very casually.

"General, there are a lot of Japanese soldiers who have fallen into the water on the sea."

Someone shouted.

"Are you idle, whatever they do, the fleet will return and protect the troop carriers into the bay."

Hong Sheng roared.

In this battle, the White Dragon Army sank 14 warships of the Japanese army, killing hundreds of Japanese sailors, while the White Dragon Army did not lose a single ship.

Only two warships were bombarded by solid iron bullets from the side of the Japanese warships, causing minor injuries to seven soldiers and almost negligible losses.

After defeating Yamashita Fengjin's small Japanese fleet, Hong Sheng led the fleet to escort the troop transports, sailed smoothly into Kago'er Bay, and headed for Kago's port.

Half a day later, Hong Sheng led the fleet to arrive at Kagogang, and Li Zixiao personally greeted him.

"Hong Sheng, you can be regarded as coming, Ben Hou and Luo Chao are them, but they want to wear it!"

Li Zixiao stood on the dock, looked at Hong Sheng and other White Dragon Army generals who came over, and said with a smile.

"It's not too late."

Hong Sheng said happily.

"Let's go, go back to the city first, Ben Hou will personally pick up the wind and wash the dust for you.

Next, we are going to fight a decisive battle against the Japanese shogunate army in Kagoshima.

If you don't come in time, Ben Hou thinks that the probability of winning this battle between us and the Japanese will be four or six.

Four of us, six of us.

But now, you're here, and it's going to be June Fourth. ”

Li Zixiao said with a smile, his joy overflowing.

Subsequently, Li Zixiao was in Kagoshima Castle to reward the 40,000 soldiers who had just arrived, and at the same time let them get used to it.

Many of these soldiers were landlubbers, and some were seasick, and they had just landed, and they were not used to it.

On April 8, a large fleet of ships appeared in the waters south of the entrance to Kagowan in the west of Kagoshima, and from a distance, ships appeared on the sea level.

More than 500 Japanese troop carriers, plus more than 100 warships, appeared in the waters south of Kagoshima Bay under the command of Tokugawa Masamitsu.

The 500 troop carriers carried 50,000 Japanese soldiers, and the 100 and 3 warships under Tokugawa Masamitsu were a huge fleet of 10,000 sailors.

"General, it's General Yamashita's fleet!"

It was here that Tokugawa Masamitsu happened to run into the Japanese fleet that Yamashita had just been defeated by Hong Sheng yesterday.

In fact, Yamashita Fumijin deliberately stayed here, waiting for Tokugawa Masamitsu to lead the Japanese fleet.

"Huh? What's going on? How is it that the fleet under the mountain is missing so many ships? ”

Tokugawa Masamitsu looked at Yamashita Bongima's fleet that appeared in the distance, and found that the number was not right, frowned, and said.

"Someone. Let Yamashita go to the general's ship and report to the general. ”

Immediately, Tokugawa Masamitsu gave the order.

"Meet the General."

Soon, Yamashita was brought up to the largest warship in the Japanese fleet.

Although the Tokugawa Masamitsu warship is already the largest on their side, it is still much worse than the three-masted gunboat on the White Dragon Army's side.

"Yamashita, why is there so many ships missing from your fleet? What's going on? ”

Tokugawa Masamitsu looked at Yamashita Bongjin in front of him, calmly faced, and asked.

"General, it's a crime to be lowly!"

Immediately, Yamashita Bongjin knelt down and told Tokugawa Masamitsu the truth about yesterday's battle.

"Baga, it's only been two days, and you've lost fourteen warships and more than seven hundred sailors to Ben General, you really deserve to die.

Someone came, dragged down the mountain and beheaded him. ”

Tokugawa Masamitsu roared angrily, and a Japanese soldier rushed over from behind and held down the kneeling Yamashita Bongjin.

"The general spares his life, spares his life!

There is something important to report to the lowly post, and this matter is related to the life and death of our army, so please give the lowly post a chance to make a statement. ”

At this time, Yamashita Bongjin shouted eagerly.

"Wait!"

Hearing Yamashita Bongjin's shout, Tokugawa Masamitsu shouted, and the Japanese soldiers who dragged him away stopped.

"If you have anything to report, hurry up and say it, I can't tell you why, I will still behead you."

Tokugawa Masamitsu's eyes were cold, his eyes exuded a murderous aura, staring at Yamashita Fengjin, and said in a cold voice.
