The huge explosion shook Chen Laohu's flagship.

He watched helplessly as a huge hole was blown out of the arsenal ship that was turning with the help of a tugboat.

The sea water is rushing into the cabin through this huge hole.

"What's going on?" Chen Laohu casually grabbed a staff officer.

"For some unknown reason, the arsenal ship exploded." The staff officer turned pale with fright.

Arsenal ship!

It was a mobile maritime ammunition depot. As it exploded, rockets streaked across the sea.

"Check! Find out the cause of the explosion." He watched as the rocket passed by the sea, rushed to the beach and exploded.

Chen Laohu broke out in a cold sweat. These were heavy rockets, each with a charge of more than 500 kilograms.

If you really get on top of a warship, you can blow up a destroyer in half.

The arsenal ship can fire more than a hundred missiles at a time...!

The closest thing to the explosive arsenal ship is another arsenal ship.

Whatever comes to mind!

Just when Chen Laohu thought of the danger, another arsenal ship was hit by indiscriminate rockets.

With the sound of explosions, the arsenal ship was filled with smoke.

"Boom!" A dazzling light shook Chen Laohu so hard that he could hardly open his eyes.

The huge explosion directly tore the arsenal ship into pieces.

More rockets were scurrying across the sea like headless flies.

The destroyer was running at full speed to evade like crazy. Getting hit by this thing is no joke.

Chen Laohu now really wants a rocket to fly over and blow him up.

We finally managed to get the arsenal ship to come, but it ended up like this.

The most terrible thing is that the captain of the arsenal ship is his nephew Chen Xiang.

Before the war, he resisted all opinions and settled his nephew.

How confident he was at the beginning, but now how much he wants to die!

Oh shit!

Why did you lose your mind and believe this bastard?

The sea was in chaos, rockets were flying everywhere, and the destroyers were trying to avoid it.

But there is no way this thing can be avoided!

There was another explosion, and Chen Laohu watched helplessly as a destroyer was blown into two pieces.

The fragments from the destroyer flew more than a hundred meters into the air.

The sailors dived into the water one after another, like dumplings.

There were also people with fire on their bodies, and Chen Laohu could clearly hear the wailing sound from such a distance.

Tears blurred his eyes for a moment. These are the elites of the Ming Navy!

The French on the shore were a little confused. They couldn't understand why the Ming warship blew up.

Could it be French artillery fire?

This is impossible, the French army does not have artillery with such a long range.

Even if it could hit that far, it was inaccurate. How could it happen to hit a warship?

The Ming army on the beach was even more unlucky. More than a dozen rockets landed on the beach.

Hot shrapnel enveloped the sand and flew in all directions. A class that had just landed was blown into the sky by a rocket before they even entered the bunker.

Broken limbs and broken arms were scattered everywhere, and the scene was extremely tragic.

Those damn rockets finally stopped flying out of the arsenal ship.

Looking at the burning arsenal ship, it is sinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The two destroyers that were accidentally damaged also suffered from a large amount of water intrusion, and their hulls continued to tilt.

The sea was full of flapping navy sailors. This scene had only happened to the navies of other countries in the past. No one expected that it would happen to the powerful Ming Dynasty navy today.

Everyone was a little stupid and didn't know how to face the situation in front of them.

"What are you doing standing still? Order the destroyer to rescue people quickly!"

Chen Laohu roared violently.

Only then did the staff members react and began to send telegrams to ask nearby destroyers to rescue the sailors who fell into the water.

"The landing operation cannot be stopped and we must continue to send troops up.

We also need to send more supplies!

They are about to face a very fierce battle!"

Chen Laohu has no choice now but to catch the duck and put it on the shelves.

Fortunately, it seems that only two destroyers and two arsenal ships have been destroyed so far.

The large transport ship carrying the landing soldiers was not lost, which is simply a blessing among misfortunes.

The landing operation cannot be stopped no matter what, otherwise none of the marines who landed ashore will be able to withdraw.

The Ming Dynasty has never experienced such a loss. If it happened, Chen Laohu would have no other choice but to die to thank the world.

"Deputy Commander!

Do we really not want to withdraw them?"

"You are crazy, can you still withdraw now?

What, a small landing craft?

Now more than half of the Marine Corps has landed, totaling more than 2,000 people.

How to withdraw?

By those little landing craft?

On the way back, what should we do if we are chased, what if we are intercepted and killed, what if we are entangled by the French?"

Chen Laohu's series of questioning left the chief of staff speechless.

yes!

Now it is no longer possible to withdraw just because you want to.

In any case, the landing battle will continue.

force!

Supplies and ammunition!

They must be sent up continuously, otherwise the more than two thousand marines on the shore will never see the sun tomorrow.

"Send a report to the rear and continue to send arsenal ships up.

The destroyer moved forward, ready to provide fire support at any time.

Also, order the Changbaishan to bombard the French positions with its main guns to reduce the burden on the landing troops."

Chen Laohu quickly realized that he was a man who had experienced the war. He quickly entered his role, began to give orders, and continued to direct the landing operations.

"But...! But the Changbaishan is too far away. If you want to accurately bombard the enemy's artillery position from this distance, this... I'm afraid...!"

The chief of staff was a little hesitant. If the Changbaishan's main gun fire support could be used, it would have been used.

Why wait for those arsenal ships to arrive?

"If I ask you to beat me, you will beat me, what nonsense!

Now, is there any other fucking artillery that can reach the French artillery position?" Chen Laohu shouted.

The chief of staff immediately ran to send a telegram!

Soon, the dragon-like roar of Changbaishan's main gun could be heard from the distant sea.

The huge cannonball flew across the sky with a whistle.

The artillery shell exploded a little more than one kilometer away from the French artillery position. The huge explosion power raised a huge plume of smoke, which could be seen with a telescope from a distance.

But even with such a huge explosion, it still failed to destroy the French artillery position.

Apart from causing considerable panic to the French army, there were no more serious casualties.

Ravanelli received a call from the artillery position and knew that nothing happened at the position, so he was relieved.

On the transport ship, there were constant Marine Corps soldiers, who were sent to the beach by assault boats.
