Chapter 1294 Shelling

When the order was given, the Hongzhang did not sound the whistle, but slowly took the lead, and followed closely behind, battleships, cruisers, and destroyers, all silently following. Fire Ran??? Text: en'org

The clouds of war have begun to gather over the South Seas.

More than a dozen nautical miles, before the morning star in the sky appeared, the huge fleet had already reached the outside of the port of Manila.

"Adjust the array and get ready for battle." Arriving outside the port, Li Hezai did not hesitate and gave the order to adjust the warship.

This is a sneak attack, and since it is a sneak attack, it will maximize the firepower.

All the warships began to swing out in a row, exposing the secondary guns on the sides.

Everything is ready, and Manila is still so calm.

"Five minutes later, shoot at the battery." Seeing that everything was ready, Li He put down the map in his hand.

"Left turn sixteen, high angle twenty, armor-piercing shell loading."

Soldiers, making final preparations.

"Let's get started." When the time came, Li He put down the wrist that had been raised.

"Put."

Boom....... The Hongzhang's main cannon fired two orange-red flames.

Boom Boom Boom ........ Ten thousand cannons fired in unison.

The entire Manila battery was suddenly shrouded in a cloud of artillery fire.

Violent explosions and fires lit up the entire Manila port as if it were daylight.

Rumble...... After two rounds of firing, the Manila battery finally began to counterattack.

Boom....... On the surface of the sea, columns of water began to appear, and even some columns of water exploded not far from Li He.

Rumble........ The surrounding Songshan was concentrated on the deck by the defenders of the fort, and Li He could clearly see that several sailors were carried into the sky on the spot, and then fell into the sea.

However, at this time, no one went to the rescue, and everyone wanted to shoot their shells out and suppress the firepower of the battery.

The violent explosion sounded Hu Langge, who had not yet woken up, and listened to the violent explosion, Hu Langge suddenly lifted the quilt and ran to the window.

What's going on? Hu Langge did not know why there was an explosion in the port.

Boom...... The door was pushed open, and Hu Langge saw his adjutant running in with a panicked face.

"Lord Governor, no, Li He's fleet is coming."

What the? Hu Langge, who heard this, was startled, and then, he slapped away the adjutant in front of him and began to climb to the top floor.

From the top floor, he could clearly see that his battery was being covered by intense artillery fire.

"What the hell, what is Hanger doing, why hasn't he fought back, what is his navy doing?"

Seeing that the navy in the port was still not shelling, Hu Langge shouted loudly on the top floor.

This, in fact, the adjutant also wants to know the reason for this.

"I'll investigate right away." The adjutant answered and ran out in a panic.

"Hurry up, it." Inside the naval headquarters, Hauger is now on the verge of being bombed.

He never dreamed that Li He would do it at this time.

When he heard the sound of the cannon, he thought that the battery was training, but it was not until the battery emitted a huge fire that Hao Ge realized that it was not that they were training, but that the battery was under attack.

After receiving this judgment, Hao Ge immediately gave the order to counterattack, but at this time, the soldiers were still sleeping.

This also caused why Hu Langge couldn't hear the attack of the navy when he saw the fort being attacked.

Rumble...... Finally, after nearly ten minutes of grinding, the navy finally fired a shell.

The earth shakes and the mountains shake. The Manila military port was full of the smell of gunsmoke and the smell of shell explosions, mixed with the screams of some people before they died.

Rumble...... The participation of the navy in front of the port of Manila made Li He, who had always had the upper hand, begin to feel difficult.

After all, they have shore fire prevention and the cooperation of warships, but they don't have these.

In half an hour, three warships withdrew and two were sunk.

"Commander, you can't fight hard like this, I think it's better to withdraw, right?" Yan Fu, who was beside Li He, stepped forward and reminded.

Withdraw, it's not okay to evacuate now, after all, the submarine has not passed yet.

"It can't be withdrawn, at least it will hold out for twenty minutes, and our submarine has not yet fully entered." Li He, who thought about it for a while, said.

This, hearing Li He say this, Yan Fu didn't say anything, after all, the task of the surface ship this time is to cover the entry of the submarine.

"Hurry up, the brothers above are loading shells for us, we have to hurry." Inside the No. 3 submarine, Xiao Shan kept urging the personnel who were operating the submarine.

From the time of the outbreak of the naval battle, the submarine had already left the group and began to move towards the port.

However, the distance is too far, and the speed of the voyage is not fast at all, so it has been half an hour now, and the submarine is still a few hundred meters away from the port.

The operator also knew that the brothers above were covering himself at this time, so he immediately sped up slightly.

"Paralyzed, when Lao Tzu goes in, I won't be surnamed Xiao if I don't beat you to pieces." Xiao Shan, who was looking at the situation outside through the periscope, scolded in his heart.

The artillery fire was still ongoing, another warship was scrapped, looking at the warship that was silent, Li He actually frowned, he had never lost to this point.

How long will it be before they arrive? Looking at the sinking warship, Li He thought depressedly in his heart.

"Concentrate firepower, hit the batteries first, and leave the warships alone for the time being." Seeing that a warship actually began to attack the port, Li He hurriedly gave an order.

In terms of warships, there are water ghosts who have gone in to solve it, and now what they have to solve by themselves is the battery.

The order was given, and the fire of the whole army was again aimed in the direction of the battery.

It's strange why they attack our batteries and not me.

On the bridge, seeing Li He's fleet a few nautical miles away, actually throwing all the shells onto the battery, Hao Ge was puzzled in his heart.

He couldn't understand why Li He would make such a move.

"Commander, what's wrong?" The deputy commander on the side also saw the problem and immediately spoke.

Nonsense, it's all like this, can the situation be right, Hao Ge, who saw this situation, kept muttering in his heart.

Leave it alone for the time being, since Li He's fleet does not attack him, then he will attack himself, and give them a blow to the head first.

This can only be the case now, and there seems to be nothing that can help him except for stepping up the bombardment of Li and the fleet. (To be continued.) )
