"The sound of cannons! Did the Japanese ship fire?!"

Fang Boqian was shocked. If this was the case, then his face would be a bit bad! It was impossible that the Japanese would slap in the face, this is too slap!

Ten kilometers away, a smoke came out of the front main gun of the Yoshino, showing the traces of its just launched. However, no shells fell. Anyone who knows more details from the Guowenbao will know that the maximum effective range of the 152mm rapid-fire cannon it is equipped with is only 8,600 meters. It should be no threat from such a long distance.

Fang Boqian was sure that no shells fell, and laughed happily: "It turns out that the Japanese ships are like our cannons to pay tribute! Humph, let me ignore him and keep moving forward!"

Chen Shouchang frowned again. He always felt that things were not simple. In today's world, which navy inexplicably fired a salute to others? Besides, what's the matter if there is only one sound? Not to mention, how could it be done with the 152mm main gun? This is obviously abnormal!

He loudly reminded: "Sir! Don't be careless! Japanese people are accustomed to using evil tricks, so you must be careful that they are cheating!"

"Enough!" Fang Boqian finally got angry, and repeatedly said that this young boy studying in the United States who thought he was a little skilled was the first mate, and he took himself too seriously, and he was too unwilling to take him seriously!

The leader is the leader of a ship! According to the training requirements of the British Navy, the captain's authority cannot be questioned at will! As a subordinate, the first mate, he does not execute orders seriously and always makes a fuss. This is unqualified!

Chen Shouchang's chest was swelling rapidly, but ultimately due to his identity and responsibilities, he could not retort.

At this moment, on the "Dongming" five kilometers away from behind, Yang Haiwei ordered the alarm to be sounded. The entire ship entered a wartime emergency! At the same time, he ordered the signalman to warn the other ships: "The enemy ships have an attempt to exchange fire, so they must be careful!"

The "Flying Whale" felt inexplicable and did not react for a moment. The "Guangyi" and "Weiyuan" who were escorting were also far away and didn't know how to stop, so they had to keep a close eye on the "Jiyuan ship" in front of them.

But from the "Dingyuan Ship" escorted by the right wing, Liu Buchan's expression changed immediately when he saw the banner. He decisively ordered the fighting flag to be raised, and at the same time, the power was fully opened and straight ahead! If there was an enemy situation, someone would definitely intercept it in a diagonal way! In order to play its unique artillery arrangement, the Japanese army must seize the horizontal route with the t-head!

The "Laiyuan Ship" follows closely, and with the help of a slightly higher power, drive at full speed and move forward! At this time, every advantage of one kilometer is crucial!

The alarm sounded on the "Dongming" was extremely harsh. Several officials in the cabin were shocked. Jiang Zikang, who was in charge of Ren, rushed out of the comfortable and spacious upper-class cabin and grabbed a passing sailor and asked, "What's going on? What's the alarm sounding for no reason!"

The sailor replied coldly: "The enemy situation is found in front of you. Fight is very likely! This lord, you'd better restrain your subordinates to stay in the cabin. There is enough thick steel plates to cover it, and it's very dangerous outside! The power of the naval gun is very great!"

Jiang Zikang's eyebrows were raised, his old face was covered with ferociousness, and he grinned: "Bah! I have killed all my life in a sea of ​​blood. I have never seen any scenes? Little guy, if you want to scare grandpa, you are still far from Taoism! Lead the way immediately, I want to see with my own eyes what kind of naval battle is!"

This old guy is a real powerful general! He fought against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and pacified the Jindan Sect uprising, and had a lot of military achievements. He never knew what the word "fear" means!

Although the sailor was unhappy to deal with these Qing soldiers, he also understood that it was not the time to make an objection. He agreed in a depressed manner, quickly walked forward and led the way, turned around and came to the command room on the top of the bridge.

It was a wide room with multiple repeated armor protection outside, which was originally for outsiders to see. The surface of the four walls is hardened modern armor steel plate; the interlayer is ceramic, the third layer is high-strength aluminum alloy, and a layer of steel plate with extremely high tensile strength, and the innermost part is Kevlar lining. Overall, the thickness of the armor exceeds 254mm. If it is calculated based on contemporary steel-surface armor, it must be at least 500mm!

Safe, absolutely safe!

It is not only high, but also has a wide view. It has thick bulletproof glass to ensure that even if you get shot, you won’t die.

Jiang Zikang came up and found that Yang Haiwei had already arrived in advance, and was grabbing the phone and steadily sending orders one after another. He didn't understand the Navy's Daoer, but was surprised to see that the front of this should have been an ordinary cargo ship, actually unveiled its disguise and exposed a cannon!

"I said what's going on with you? The merchant ships have also installed guns?"

Jiang Zikang felt something was wrong, but he couldn't control it either. Seeing a group of sailors rushing up, removing the cover with all their hands and feet, wrapping the entire person with a cannon shield, revealing the flexibly rotating the cannon with a slender tube, pointing to the right front, a tense atmosphere of war arises naturally!

Soon, several other stewards were taken to the command room one after another. For the first time, when I saw such a novel place, a group of officers, who were not young, were amazed, and were immediately attracted by Yang Haiwei's fierce and solemn military taste!

According to Jiang Zikang's thoughts, this second Japanese devil without braids is not simple!

Except for the turret, there are no people outside the entire cargo ship, and it is empty!

At the forefront, Fang Boqian was still moving forward as it was with the "Jiyuan Ship". The commander of the Japanese First Guerrilla Army, Yoshimi Tsui, laughed proudly: "Yehe! It seems that the guy on the other side was really deceived by our plan! Speed ​​up and cut off their front!"

The "Yoshino Ship" that can be called the world's largest speed, two four-cylinder steam engines with a maximum speed of 15,000 horsepower rumbling and rumbling. The bow of the ship splits the sea surface and soars all the way to 21 knots, cutting across the "Jiyuan Ship" like a bayonet!

"The person who comes is not kind!"

Fang Boqian is not a mediocre person. Although he is not in the way of dealing with Liu Buchan, he admires the other party's professional ability and also has the capital to be proud. The attitude of the Japanese ship in front can roughly see the clues, which obviously does not look like a harmless passing!

When he saw three warships following behind the "Yoshino Ship", he immediately felt something was wrong!

But at this time, the distance between the two sides had been sharply shortened from 10 kilometers to about 5 kilometers! The muzzle raised by the "Yoshino" is clearly visible in the telescope!

Fang Boqian suddenly woke up and ordered loudly: "All people should pay attention, quickly enter the cannon position, and prepare to defend against the enemy!"

Most of the officers and soldiers were on their posts! The orders arrived and they were all in place! But even so, they were still one step late, and they saw the "Yoshino ship" flashing in a row, three cannons fired together, and three shells roared towards the "Jiyuan ship"!

"Boom! Boom!"

The explosion of the 152mm grenade exploded not far from the hull! The hot fire light and the water column that soared into the sky, the deafening roar gathered into a terrifying impact. It was stuffed into Fang Boqian's ears!

He had been a navy for many years before, and was very theoretical. He lacked practical experience, especially his courage, which was really lacking. When the shells sounded, his head was louder!

However, he had experienced some experience and shouted the correct order like a conditioned reflex: "Fire a fire and strike back!"

It is easy to say that his front main gun cannot be aimed at the "Yoshino!" due to angle problems, and the tail gun is also inappropriate in the angle. If you want to change the machine, you must turn urgently!

With this delay, the opponent's shells were fired out!

One after another, the explosions kept rising from the front, back and left and right of the "Jiyuan Ship". In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen shots were made, but he was still helpless! It was really that the enemy's choice was too good and the angle was too clever!

At this time, "Guangyi" and "Weiyuan" did not fear the difficulties and began to move forward. Especially "Guangyi", after adding a 120mm rapid-fire gun, they finally had the ability to fight head-on and accelerated forward and went forward.

But immediately afterwards, they were shocked to find that another ship was actually starting to accelerate! It was no one else, it was the "Dongming" cargo ship that should have been strictly protected!

Fang Boqian also saw this scene and immediately became anxious and shouted angrily: "Nonsense! When is this? He is free to join in the fun?! He whispers the flags and asks him to retreat immediately, and run as far as he can! If there is a mistake, no one can afford the losses of more than 2,000 officers and soldiers above him!"

The "Dongming" was the top priority for fleet protection. Shen Shouchang did not dare to neglect and went to pass the order in person. But what he saw later was so surprised that his mouth almost closed!

I saw a stream of blue smoke suddenly jumping at the bow of the beautifully shaped "Dongming", followed by a rumbling cannon sound. Looking at the front of the "Yoshino ship" in the distance, a thick water column suddenly rose into the air!

Bombardment! A cargo ship actually fired fire!

Shen Shouchang was suddenly in a mess. What is this going on! Some people used 152mm cannons to fire salutes, while others fought unannounced. Now even armed cargo ships are coming out to join in the fun. What else is even more strange in the world?!

This scene scared the entire fleet and the Japanese army opposite each other!

The range of shells fired by the "Dongming" is definitely more than 12,000 meters! This is even further than the maximum range of the Krupp 35 times the gun!

At the same time, the explosion power of the shell was the only one they saw in their lives! Even the 305mm grenade of the second ship of Dingzhen, I am afraid that it would not be able to explode such a spectacular splash! What is this guy coming from!

On the "Dongming", in the command room, the Qing military leaders were silent and speechless! They stared at Yang Haiwei with wide eyes and saw him sending orders calmly: "Click the shooting angle to the right to correct a secret position, with a distance of 11,500, and a grenade, release!"

Inside the front turret, several artillery soldiers quickly stuffed a warhead into the barrel, piled up the fire medicine, closed the bolt, adjusted the elements, aimed, and fired!

The huge hull just trembled slightly, and the reinforced cannon body made by modern crafts sprayed the shells out!

"Boom!" The thick water column exploded on the left side of the Yoshino, which was less than 50 meters away! The fierce water splash even splashed on the commander tower!

This time, the Japanese army finally saw who did the good thing. Tsukii Yokozo had a gloomy face and ordered with a roaring voice: "Aim at that hateful cargo ship and kill him!" (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
