Chapter 171 The destruction of the Spanish Far East revenge fleet
The Third Fleet had blocked the entire fjord and bet on the Spanish fleet inside.
After a long battle, all the warships of the Western Fleet of the Spanish Far East Revenge Fleet had disappeared and turned into big or small debris and floating corpses on the fjord sea surface.
"I want to fight these yellow monkeys! Even if I die, I will not let them go! Now I order: try to line up all warships! All rush out! Only by rushing out can you have hope!" Admiral Ricardo Delante had already entered a state of madness at this time, and said.
Then, at the request of Admiral Ricardo Delante, all warships tried to rush out as much as possible, but this increased the area of the Spanish fleet's bombing, and the Third Fleet was able to accurately damage these Spanish people.
"Boom!" A cannonball hit the first-class battleship "Felipe II" in a terrible way, directly blowing a 48-pound cannon into a pile of scrap iron. The barrel and the cannon mount fell into the sea, while the people around were lit by ignited gunpowder, and a large fire quickly spread around.
A minute later, the ship was targeted by Ship 25 again. It maneuvered to the oblique side of the first-class warship. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" After three sounds, three shells rushed to the front, middle and back three directions of the first-class warship. The explosives in the 105mm shell were triggered to hit the wooden hull when it touched the wooden hull, and then it caused an explosion on it. Even the first-class battleship was arranged with dense naval guns on both side strings, and only a layer of hard wooden boards was isolated from the outside world. Although some of the wooden boards were very thick and copper armor was equipped, this was just a pile of waste paper for the 105mm blasting bomb. The shells hit it on it, and there were big holes. After a few hits, this first-class battleship became riddled with holes.
"Back to fight back!" The captain of the first-class battleship of the Felipe II ordered a counterattack. However, at this time, the No. 25 had quickly moved to the front of it, and it was still outside a safe distance. The remaining artillery positions on the Felipe II could not hit the Xia class battleship at all.
"These Spaniards are just trapped beasts! Be careful! Maintain a safe distance and eliminate these arrogant Spaniards as soon as possible! Whether our third fleet can achieve honor depends on this battle!" Sun Fugui said. This naval battle is the first battle of the Third Fleet, and the first battle must be won! Otherwise, it will have a very bad psychological impact on future battles, and it will also make others feel contempt for this force, and His Majesty the King will look down on this force even more.
The soldiers of the Third Fleet also wanted to make meritorious contributions. If they were defeated, they would not be despised by others in the Ming Dynasty, which now attaches great importance to martial arts. Even their wives and children looked down on themselves. Therefore, their enthusiasm was once again raised to a very high level under the reminder of Sun Fugui. They eliminated their anxiety and anxiety in their hearts, and began to calm down and aim at the enemy ships and fired.
For a moment, in this fjord on Nias Island, the sound of cannons was filled with smoke.
At 10:26 a.m., the last second-class battleship, the Bourne, was sunk, and less than ten first-class battleships were left in the entire fleet. At this time, the flagship "Jianna I" was also hit by two shells, and the side string was blown open, and more than 90 people were killed.
Subsequently, the Third Fleet began to attack the most core parts of the western part of the Spanish Far East Revenge Fleet. As long as all these first-class battleships were destroyed, the Spanish Far East Revenge Fleet would be broken.
"God General, let's surrender quickly! We have no hope of winning at all!" said the staff members around Admiral Ricardo Delante.
"God General, let's surrender quickly! The fleet now has only a few incomplete first-class battleships, and we shouldn't continue fighting!"
Ricardo Grant now even wants to commit suicide. He is Carlos III's favorite minister. He originally wanted to defeat these ignorant yellow monkeys and then go back to seek credit and promote himself, but now such a powerful fleet has been destroyed in his hands.
"Dear, let's surrender quickly. Do you want to see my child and I be smashed by the shells of these yellow monkeys?" Lina appeared in the command room at some point, and a gunner was avoiding not far behind her.
"This...well, I choose to surrender!" After seeing Lena, Admiral Ricardo Grant's softest part of his heart was still touched, and he finally decided to surrender the remaining Spanish fleet. In his heart, Lena was still very important. This Spanish woman and the child in her belly were what he cared about the most.
"Commander, the other party is raising a white flag." The communications soldier told Sun Fugui the situation of the Spanish fleet, and he had already seen the towering white flag with a telescope in the command room with a good vision.
"Order the fleet to stop shelling. Our people are going to board the ship and drive all the warships to Chengtian Mansion!" Sun Fugui said, "Cheer, soldiers of the Third Fleet, everyone cheer! Our third Fleet's first battle was won! The Spanish are completely finished!" After a while, there were bursts of cheering sounds on all the warships of the Ming Kingdom in the fjord.
In this way, all ships of the Spanish Far East Revenge Fleet were wiped out by the Ming Kingdom.
In the conference room of the imperial meeting, Zhu Haitao was filled with joy when he saw the memorial presented by the Admiralty. This time, he finally completely eliminated the threat of the huge fleet coming from Spain. This battle hit the Europeans' thoughts of spying on the Far East, allowing the surrounding countries to see the powerful strength of the Ming Dynasty. However, he could not take it lightly yet, because the news from Sumatra made him dare not take it lightly.
The Spanish army quickly destroyed the Sultanate of Aceh, turned all the people there into slaves, and helped them build a large number of military fortresses. It seems that these Spanish people were planning to stick to it for a long time.
"Your Majesty, since we have defeated the Spanish fleet now, no force in the entire Southeast Asian country can challenge our country's maritime hegemony. Therefore, we can project all the troops and eliminate all these Spanish troops! Their military equipment is no different from the previous ones, and they are no match for us at all!" said Li Jifa, Chief of the General Staff. It is August 15, 1782, and the army has been repaired for a lot of time and has already become strong. Therefore, it is very easy to eliminate these Spanish people.
