Chapter 1119: Luring the Enemy Deeper

Passive beating, counterattack in panic, how can it be hit, in a hurry, reluctantly manipulating the main gun to attack, just according to the feeling, foaming in the direction where it is, such a shell, if you want to hit it is lucky, it is normal to miss, just hit it, I don't know where to fly for a long time.

Xiao Jianfeng had already inquired about the ships in the harbor clearly, the largest caliber naval gun was only 230 mm, such a naval gun, not to mention old, the ship more than 10 years ago, even if it was cutting-edge, even 60 or 70 caliber, could not penetrate the armor on the periphery of the Black Dragon, and when attacking the harbor ships, none of the three ships avoided it.

Except for the first wave of lucky hits of the double yolk eggs, the rest, the luck is not too good, almost 5 waves later, this is only one shot, this is a 4500-ton cruiser, the frontal main gun was hit, the powerful kinetic energy with destructiveness, from the front of the main gun breakthrough, the twin 210 mm main gun, directly beaten into a twist, the superstructure was almost cut in half.

Britain and France, unlike the Netherlands, have fallen behind this era, especially in the field of naval warfare, they don't know what this means, which means that the other side looks like old-fashioned ironclad ships, but in reality, their attack power is not weak, when did the Chinese have such a warship, it doesn't look like a German style, and even a little bit of British blood.

That's right, this ship was once a British foreign trade ship, and later sold to the Americas, and in the end, it was obtained by the Black Dragon pirates through special channels and immediately sent to the mainland for refit. After adding the black technology of the northwest, the current situation was formed.

Finally. After seven or eight ships were heavily damaged, and the whole battle had been going on for half an hour. The first ship started, after the power started, they didn't stay in the port for long, and ran directly out, obviously, the speed of the ironclad ship should not be an advantage, they were blocked in the port, if it goes on like this, everything will be over

It has to be said that Britain and France were above the naval battle. is still quite unique, they made a quick decision, let more than 30 ships in the port, and finally ran 7, for these escapees, Xiao Jianfeng didn't care, and even they surrounded them, eating the results first, and taking those who were injured. The power was damaged, and even the artillery positions on the shore were all cleared, an hour later. Of the 31 ships in the entire Pontianak port, except for 7 that ran away, the remaining 24 ships were sunk one by one. The makeshift artillery positions were also plowed by a large number of secondary guns. Large-caliber 210 guns were pointed, by the way. In the end, there was also shelling towards Pontianak.

It's not the first time Pontianak has been shelled, the previous one was 108, but the artillery power is very small, even if it is a temporary position built by Pontianak, it has not been penetrated, but this is 285, or 55 caliber, the power and strength are not the same at all, Pontianak's temporary earthen city wall, in front of the last 108, are a little not enough, in front of 285, a cannon down, is a large area, whether it is a city wall or a house, all fall in pieces.

In the absence of anything to stop it, the Black Dragon and the two capital ships raged for almost 2 and a half hours, and finally stopped the attack, no way, in just 2 and a half hours, the main gun fired a total of 150 rounds, which is almost to use the artillery to death, almost one shot per minute, 900 large-caliber main gun shells and 2500 rounds of 6-inch secondary artillery shells, and if you continue to fight, the barrel will explode.

For two and a half hours like a storm, Pontianak was almost beaten to pieces, and the remnants of the Anglo-French army and the Dutch army were beaten and cried wolf, a scene of the end of the world.

Singapore, almost at the same time as the Black Dragon attacked Pontianak, the city's correspondent had already reported the news of the Black Dragon's attack on Pontianak to Singapore, and what Kim Herr was most worried about still happened, the Chinese had a navy, and they knew it, this naval commander was so bold and came directly to the harbor.

This method just caught them off guard, Pontianak is a commercial port, which can accommodate a limited number of ships, and all ships of more than 10,000 tons have to leave Pontianak and dock in Singapore. I didn't think that such a stop would become an opportunity for the other party to sneak attack, and Pontianak at this time may have been in a mess.

A terrible siren sounded over the port of Singapore, and the East Asian fleet set off directly at the fastest speed, not even having time to wait for the French warships to go to sea, and it took only 40 minutes to complete the whole process of preheating and starting the boiler, and rushed to Pontianak as fast as possible, hoping to stop this fleet.

The loss has already occurred, it is irreparable, and it must be retaliated back, in this battle for the island, there are ships and no ships, the method of war is two different things, once the other side regardless of the cost, endless harassment, even if Britain and France occupy the absolute superiority of the navy, do not want to take Borneo easily.

The reaction speed of the British can be described as not unfast, 40 minutes is much shorter than an hour and a half, and even the French did not wait, and set off early, but unfortunately it was still a little worse. Xiao Jianfeng had enough, especially when he received a telegram from a submarine near Singapore, when the British warships in Singapore had already poured out, after calculating the full speed of the British Navy a little, he got an exact time, almost when the British army was still 1 hour away from Pontianak, he left decisively, even if there were still trophies on the Pontianak side.

When Kim Herr arrived in Pontianak, he found a mess, 31 ships, at least more than 20 sunk, most of these ships were old ships, unable to keep up with the times, but all of a sudden, it was a huge loss for the British and French fleets.

Kim Herr gritted his teeth, no matter how much he overestimated it, he still didn't expect that he still underestimated the Chinese. , The opponent's assault fleet, the combat effectiveness will be so strong, in just 2 and a half hours, 24 warships of various types were sunk, because it was in the harbor, the loss of personnel or something was secondary, as long as it was not directly hit by shells, or was brought into the whirlpool by the rapidly sinking battleship, even if the battleship sank, people could still live.

After carefully inquiring about the parties, I knew that there were 3 warships attacking Pontianak, and they all looked like ironclad ships, after the end of the war, less than 50 minutes after leaving Pontianak, it made Kimhel's eyes brighten, and he did not block him in Pontianak, so he went to pursue, the ironclad ship, the capital ship of 20 years ago, has been completely outdated under the frequent appearance of capital ships today, there is no speed, only armor and artillery, and it is not the opponent of the cutting-edge warship at all.

The British army of almost 50 ships, a huge fleet, without making any adjustments, set off, in addition to Pontianak, a headlong collision with the hurried French fleet to find the commander of the French army, after exchanging information in Pontianak, the two fleets formed one, together to pursue the Black Dragon,

The former fleet shrank by 24 ships at once, and the remaining 7 ships that ran away were not intact, and several of them were also shot, but fortunately there was no silence. Enraged, the Anglo-French combined fleet, more than a hundred warships, began to chase, with all their might, in the direction the other party went, pursued for an hour, but did not catch up, Kinhel thought for a while, and sent 4 destroyers to search in a fan-shaped direction.

The opponent only has three ships, and at the speed of a destroyer, if you find your opponent from a distance, you can choose to follow or entangle the opponent.

It's a pity that the Anglo-French fleet has always been under the supervision of submarines in the northwest, not only are there submarines everywhere in Pontianak and Singapore, but there are several submarines on the way out, tailgating in batches, which is not just what comes in handy.

The position of one of the destroyers coincided with the direction in which the Black Dragon left, and the Black Dragon, after receiving the guidance of the submarine force, killed a horse pistol, and fled for several hours, without looking back at all, and now it is the same, he boldly chased forward, but he chased out for a while, but did not find the shadow of the enemy, the Black Dragon chose a complex sea area, stayed for a while, and waited for the destroyer to take the bait.

3 ships of 22,000 tons, against the last 1,800 tons, this is not an opponent of an order of magnitude at all, the Black Dragon is coming violently, and the destroyer only has time to attack with the main gun, but the main gun of less than 200 mm has met the Black Dragon that has been cleaned by the Northwest Armed Forces, which is not an opponent on a level at all.

The position of the destroyer could not escape, there was no luck like the ship that escaped Pontianak was destroyed, and finally escaped, all the directions of escape were blocked by the capital ship of the Black Dragon Pirates, the two sides carried out about 6 rounds of artillery bombardment, the British destroyer hit 7 rounds, showing a strong attack ability, but less than 500 mm, and did not particularly strengthen the shells, there was no way to produce much lethality to the Black Dragon Pirates, some of the shells were bounced off by the surface armor, none of them hit the vital point, Of the 32 shells, the largest of the 32 shells was a battleship.

The British knew that the time when the destroyer was sunk, it was almost noon, and the two sides chased after each other, and it actually took more than 3 hours, and the sun at noon, the hot light on the earth, at this time, the black dragon pirates were far from the preset battlefield, not to mention the time, the time was ripe.

The Black Dragon and the two other warships slowed down to give the British and French warships a chance to catch up, on the other hand, Xiao Jianfeng also sent a telegram to Scheer, according to the agreed implementation, as long as Scheer's fleet can arrive within half an hour, everything is okay.

Scheer's fleet, in a dense area of islands not far from the northwest side of their location, received the telegram, and asked his subordinates to carefully study the battle report, marking the position of the Anglo-French forces, from the point of view, a little off, but not too much, at least to the extent that Scheer can use it.

After confirming the direction and course, and after asking for the position for the last time without error, the task force finally had an opportunity to ambush the British and French fleets, and no matter how it was grasped, victory was certain, and after confirming that there were no problems, the battleship was ordered to depart.
