The 126th chapter fish belly teacher (2)(1/2)
The Ming army preferred to conduct landings at night.
Especially in the early morning close to dawn, because this is when it is easiest for a sneak attack to be successful.
The Ottomans took an unusual approach and launched their attack at seven o'clock in the morning.
At this time, it was already bright.
Everything is exposed to the rising sun.
The weather is very good today, but the sea breeze is a bit strong. Many naval officers and soldiers accidentally had their hats blown into the sea.
Li Xiao held up the telescope and stood on the Yanshan.
The sea breeze blew his hair a little messy!
I haven't had a haircut in more than a month and my hair is a little long.
The sound of artillery rumbled in the distance, and the Ming army once again launched an artillery bombardment on the dilapidated Sevastopol.
Although everyone felt that this was a waste of artillery shells, the shelling was carried out at the request of the Ottoman Empire.
This time, a large number of smoke bombs were used in the bombardment.
The fight lasted for a full hour, and the entire Sevastopol was shrouded in a layer of smoke that lingered for a long time.
"If I had known this, I might as well have shot chlorine gas bombs up there. That stuff is really powerful, it's heavy, and it sticks to the ground even when the wind blows."
Li Xiu put down the telescope and was very dissatisfied that chlorine bombs were not used.
The Navy is fully aware of the lethality of chlorine bombs, but has never tried the power of chlorine bombs itself.
In the vast sea, ships are all moving.
There is no way to use chlorine bombs!
Precisely because there is no danger of being attacked by chlorine gas bombs, the Navy uses chlorine gas bombs most unscrupulously.
Even the navy's 480mm main gun is equipped with chlorine gas bombs.
"Don't talk nonsense!
This is not your navy, they are going to land.
If the wind direction suddenly changes, those people on the beach will be suffocated to death.
The French were so confident that they were defeated in the Battle of Tsaritsyn."
Li Xiao glanced at Li Xiu angrily.
Following the lessons learned from the Battle of Tsaritsyn, the troops who fought to the death in Russia rarely used chlorine gas bombs.
Because this thing is too unstable, it can easily backfire on you if the wind direction changes.
Unless it is used in large-scale solid fortifications, or to block the entrance to underground fortifications.
This will put a lot of chlorine gas in!
The people in those fortifications and underground bunkers were in very miserable condition, and many of them were so suffocated that they scratched their faces.
Many times, when cleaning the battlefield, we don’t even look inside. We just seal the entrance with cement!
Only the people of the Ming Dynasty would persistently dig out the horrible corpses, incinerate them and then put labels on them and send them back to the country.
The Russians did not understand what the Ming people did and why they had to pay so much for those corpses.
However, they do like the white and colorful silver coins of the Ming Dynasty.
Although this job is a bit unlucky, the money given is enough.
For the sake of money, I treated the dead with more respect.
It won't be thrown around like a sack.
The buzz of airplanes was heard in the sky!
Li Xiao raised his head and watched the silver war eagle flying across the sky.
"Those people at Jinzhou Electronics Research Institute just eat and don't work, they spend a lot of money, and they still haven't developed the radio you mentioned.
If we don't study it, our navy won't invest money.
No, it's just a waste of money.
You can’t even fucking hear a sound!”
Seeing the busy planes flying around in the sky, Li Xiu had the urge to scold his mother.
Obviously we already have the original prototype, which can already transmit sound one to two hundred kilometers away.
Can……!
But that thing is too damn big, weighing a full 500 kilograms.
Moreover, the power cannot be cut off.
The power consumption is simply outrageous.
In terms of power consumption alone, it would be impossible to equip it on an airplane or airship.
“Scientific research is something that brings good luck.
Now that we have a direction, the next step is miniaturization and saving power consumption.
It's only been a little over a year, how could there be such a big close war?
Give them more time, and wireless communication on the ground between aircraft and ships will be realized sooner or later.
It's just that you have to wait for a while.
Isn’t it already used on your warship?”
Li Xiao didn't care at all. The Navy didn't invest much money in this project.
The bulk is from the Army!
This is related to the issue of who will be equipped first after the finished product is finished in the future.
As long as you pay, the first batch of items will naturally be equipped first.
"Humph! Only Kunlun Mountain has a transmitter installed that can transmit orders to the entire fleet.
The rest are equipped with receivers.
As soon as it is turned on, all the lights on the ship will flash.
In some unimportant places, just turn off the lights.
The whole ship has such a treasure, and every now and then it gets fucked up." Li Xiu was full of resentment towards the backward radio technology.
If Li Xiao had told him that one day radio would be so advanced that almost everyone would have one, he would probably invest in researching a time machine immediately.
"If it's useful, just make do with it. It will probably be researched in the next few years." Li Xiao could only console the anxious naval commander.
"I don't know how long it will take, but anyway! I don't think it will be needed until the war is over." Li Xiu shook his head and raised the telescope again.
Under cover of smoke, Ottoman troops began to land.
It has to be said that Sabulhei still has a few tricks up his sleeve.
These Ottoman soldiers were obviously trained by the Ming army. Even the landing tactics were exactly the same!
Assault boats landed on the beach, and small gunboats approached and fired.
The destroyer with a 120mm gun can wander along the coastline because of its shallow draft.
Cannonballs hit the Hebrew position one after another, and human bodies that were blown away could even be seen through the telescope.
The artillery power of the Ming Dynasty's navy has not yet been brought into full play.
At least, the 480mm naval gun on the deck has not fired yet.
The artillery on the Hebrew side also began to counterattack, but the artillery position in the distance was shrouded in smoke.
The artillery that shoots at the beach are basically small infantry guns or mortars.
Not only was the explosion not powerful, but the shell exploded when it landed in the sand, and the shrapnel was wrapped in the sand, so the power was once again reduced sharply.
There were only dozens of scattered corpses left on the beach, and more Ottoman soldiers were attacking the coastal defenses.
The Hebrews have not been idle for ten years, and the coastal defense projects in Sevastopol have never stopped.
Along the coastline, a group of fortifications combining permanent and semi-permanent fortifications has been formed.
Rifle and machine gun fire formed a crossfire.
Moreover, there are underground tunnels connecting each firepower point.
Just like before, the method of charging directly into the trenches and driving away the enemy along the trenches was simply not feasible.
What's even more troublesome is that this kind of reinforced concrete fortification can effectively resist artillery fire.
Some are strong, and a direct hit from the 120mm artillery will only take off a layer of skin.
"The Ottomans are in trouble. They want to conquer these bunkers one by one without leaving tens of thousands of corpses behind."
