1931: Battle to the last minute
Zhongmin encountered a great crisis.
The Ming Dynasty fleet, the Taiping combat formation, was named after the Ming Dynasty county, the Daqin combat formation was named after the Qin county, and the later Dachu combat formation was named after the Chu county.
The Nakaipin had just destroyed an enemy ship. When Captain Wang Hai just turned his attention to an enemy ship that was approaching quickly on the other side, he didn't notice that after the burning warship that was gradually sinking, another warship was rushing towards him like crazy. The pointed corner in front of the warship hit the body of the warship that was igniting a fire and collided towards the Nakaipin.
The guns on this side had just been fired for one round. At this time, the gunners were quickly clearing the barrel and preparing for a new round of artillery bombardment. When they found that the huge ball was approaching the fire, they had no time to react.
With a loud bang, the fire hit the Zhongping. The burning enemy ship that was about to sink was completely broken into two pieces. The ship behind it had not yet declined. The sharp collision angle immediately hit the Zhongping and plunged deeply into the ship gang.
The Zhongping suddenly shaking violently. One side of the ship suddenly rose, but the other side sank. The side cannons installed on the ship suddenly turned into rolling gourds one by one. One side fell into the water, and the other side rolled on the deck. Many sailors who could not dodge were immediately crushed to death and injured many people.
The bow of the warship of the Tiger Dynasty that hit Zhongping was also raised high, and many facilities on the ship also fell into the sea one after another. However, the sailors on the ship obviously had rich experience in this kind of impact. At the moment of the impact, each of them firmly grasped all the fixtures around them that could be grasped. When the ship fell back to the sea with the sound of wind, these people had already waved their swords and guns and jumped onto Zhongping along the bow.
On the other side, seeing another tiger warship with a bargain, it immediately accelerated and rushed towards the Kazuhiro.
The Navy Marines of the Zhongping, whose ships finally stabilized, did not release their guns even while rolling. Seeing the enemy pounced on the ship, some of them half-kneeled on the ground, and some didn't even have time to get up, so they lay on the ground, raised the Ming Dynasty Style 1 in their hands, and opened fire directly.
The crisp gunshots like beans continued to sound, and the enemies who rushed up from the bow fell to the ground. But at this time, the enemy ship had already moved the ship and clasped it with the Zhongping. More enemies jumped over. At the same time, the huge pole on the enemy ship also slapped heavily on the towering floor of Zhongping with the sound of wind.
Wang Hai was holding the railing tightly on the bridge. He was almost thrown off the boat just now, but a guard standing beside him flew high at that moment and landed far into the sea.
"Accelerate, speed up, rush forward, get rid of them," he shouted. The messenger who had just climbed up from the ground suddenly pulled a red rope.
The steam engine of Zhongping made a huge roar and rushed forward. The place where the two ships intersected made a huge friction sound. Zhongping was a wooden ship, and the other party was wearing iron armor. In such a squeeze, Zhongping suffered a great loss, and the ship gang was squeezed and all of them were broken.
But this acceleration still caused them to gradually get rid of the enemy ship that had been posted.
"Grenade, Grenade" The Marine Commander suddenly threw the grenade out and landed on the opponent's warship.
After the rest of the warriors shot all the bullets in their hands, some of them rushed towards the enemy with bayonets on their guns, while others took out grenades hanging around their waists, and as the two ships gradually separated, they threw them at the opposite warship like rain.
The violent explosion kept ringing, and the soldiers gathered on this side of the enemy ship who were preparing to jump to the gang were immediately blown up to fall to the ground in batches.
As the last squeeze ended, the warship of the Nakahira suddenly tilted, finally got rid of the enemy ship. The soldiers of the Tiger Dynasty who jumped onto the ship were now surrounded by the soldiers on the ship, and were stabbed and overturned on the deck one by one with the roars of killing.
But the danger was not lifted. The next moment, Captain Zhongping, who had escaped, saw another enemy ship crashing towards him at high speed. At this time, it was only a few dozen meters away from him. At such a distance, it was impossible to dodge at all.
"The left rudder is full, the left rudder is full." There was a little despair in Wang Hai's voice.
The Zhongxi began to turn to the left, but it took a turning radius and time to turn such a huge warship completely. These distances of dozens of meters are far from enough.
At this moment, the sailors and Marines subconsciously squatted or lay down, grasping everything around them that they could catch. The next one would inevitably be a violent impact. The middle square that had been hit hard, if it was hit again, it would be a problem whether it could float on the water surface.
A loud bang came, but the Zhongping still stood still. The sailors got up strangely and looked at the opposite side. Wang Hai, who was standing on the top of the enemy ship, could see clearly. Just when he felt that he could never avoid this attack, the Taiping rushed over.
The huge ship of Taiping hit the enemy ship from the side. Compared to Zhongping, Taiping's body was a huge monster. The enemy ship was hit by Taiping and was directly overturned. Taiping did not stop at all. Three steam engines made a huge roar, and the entire ship actually crushed the enemy ship directly. When Taiping passed, nothing was left except the bubbles and whirlpools that kept rising above the water surface. Under the crushing of Taiping, even if the sailors on the ship were as good as fish, they would definitely not have the chance to swim out of this dead sea.
From Captain Wang Hai to all the soldiers, the Zhongping felt like they had escaped from death and were walking around the gate of hell. However, at this time, their warship had also lost the ability to fight far away.
The Taiping flag flew over, and the Forever, which was not far from the Zhongping, rushed over immediately, clamping the Zhongping in the middle and protecting it from the left and right.
"Zhongping exits the battle" The order issued by the Taiping made Wang Hai feel too unwilling, and he could only obey the order. At this time, he would only become a burden to his comrades.
Under Yongping and Yuanping's escort, he arrived at the edge of the battlefield and immediately accelerated toward the distance. Fortunately, his steam power could still operate normally. When he reached the wide ocean, the enemy had no choice but to deal with him.
"The Taiping combat formation has lost a warship." Qin Feng said in the distance when he saw this scene expressionlessly.
"Fortunately, I was just severely damaged and my motivation is still there. After I go back, I can repair it well and it can still be used." Zhou Li glanced at him and responded. "Your Majesty, the overall situation has been decided, and they can't make up the waves."
At this time, there were fewer and fewer ships of the Tiger Dynasty on the sea, and burning warships and sinking warships were everywhere on the sea.
"But the army of the Tiger Dynasty has landed on a large scale." Qin Feng sighed.
On the beach in the distance, a large number of troop transport ships rushed to the beach, regardless of whether they would be stranded or not. The soldiers on the boat jumped off the boat and ran desperately towards the shore. Dancy was naturally one of them. However, he was surrounded and covered by his guards, and almost ran forward by the guards.
"Drop bombs, drop bombs" Han Danghong shouted loudly in the sky with his eyes.
The flying heights of the ten airships at this time were only a few dozen meters high. At this distance, it was actually quite dangerous. Enemies with enough strength could even throw the spears in their hands above this height.
However, at this time, all the soldiers of the Tiger Dynasty were running forward and did not react for a while. In such a situation, they could actually fight back.
Bombs fell from the air, and the sound of explosions kept ringing in the shallows, blowing clusters of enemies into the water.
The buzzing airship kept rolling in the air and dropped bombs.
But there are too many enemies distributed on the beaches that are more than ten miles long. Even if Han Dang tried his best, there were only a limited number of people who could kill him.
"General, there is no bomb." A voice woke Han Dang up from his excitement.
He looked around and looked at the other airships around him. They were also rising up one after another. Obviously, they had no bombs.
"Damn it." Han Dang looked at the empty airship cabin, and there was nothing except some ballast stones. What could he kill if he threw these stones?
"Asclimb the enemy, monitor the enemy." Han Dang said helplessly.
Without the threat in the sky, the soldiers landing in the Tiger Dynasty ran faster and faster.
"General, the signal was sent from the Dachu."
"say what"
"Let us roughly estimate the number of enemy landings, and then divide the manpower to report this to General Chen Ci, so that General Chen Ci can prepare early. Quickly withdraw the people outside into the city, just keep in mind the people, and don't worry about anything else." The signal soldier shouted: "The Marine Corps will come to support them later."
"I understand," Han Dang nodded vigorously: "Send messages to other airships, estimate the number of enemies according to their respective areas, and then report backwards."
Under the escort of his personal soldiers, Dance finally stepped onto the beach and looked back at the sea. His huge warship no longer existed at the left, and the remaining ones were scattered. Seeing that the mission had been completed, some turned to escape to the far sea, while others were still attacking the Ming ship at all costs.
Among them is his former flagship.
