Chapter 1118 sneak attack on Pontianak

Ocean-class submarines, first set out, they will sneak into Pontianak and monitor British and French warships at close range. Perhaps, in Europe, Britain, which suffered a great loss, has begun to develop similar sonar systems, and has even taken a step further on the basis of listeners. The original sonar is about to be produced, but these things cannot be equipped with the old Asian fleet, let alone the ocean submarine technology in the northwest, which has further improved the original with the sound silo technology.

The ordinary steel shell of the submarine that came is extremely important for reducing noise inside and outside the submarine. In addition, the improved fluid mechanics of the propeller will not only make the propeller more powerful. Although the noise cannot be as good as the black holes in the seas in later generations, the decibels are about 90 decibels and the same as the background sound of the ocean, it is also about 110 decibels. With the sonar accuracy of this era, the position of the submarine cannot be judged at all. The sea gives the submarine sufficient protection and makes the submarine hide better.

Yang Yuanzhao was generous. In order to protect their Black Dragon Pirates, he sent two groups of strategic bombers. As the commander-in-chief of the South Ocean Navy in the future, as one of the top leaders of the navy, Xiao Jianfeng knew that strategic bombers were a big secret even in the northwest. Many ordinary people and even soldiers only knew that there were aircraft in the northwest, but what kind of aircraft was definitely a secret. Now, he was generously taken here. He was grateful to Yang Yuanzhao for his considerateness, but he would not use them until he had no choice.

Be careful not only, but also outside of Singapore, there are submarine monitoring. These submarines will not participate in combat at any time. However, they will provide intelligence and support at any time.

This time the action was no less than taking the chestnut from the fire. Among more than 100 British and French warships. If you choose to attack Pontianak directly, all the steps must be just right. The remaining amount is too small, so he had to choose various methods, and even under certain circumstances, the seaplane could be released.

The commander of the British East Asian fleet, Ginger, looked at the warships in the military port and felt a little bored for no reason. Britain and France reported it in time. A large number of warships gathered in Pontianak, which was equivalent to giving the Netherlands huge support. Now the artillery bombardment in Pontianak has already stopped. The British and French army is nervously building the camp. Once the camp is built and reinforcements arrive, they can enter Borneo at any time and sweep away the Chinese forces.

To be honest, Jinheer originally looked down on the Chinese. Since China opened its doors by Britain in 1840, its identity as a great power has been broken to the ground. Even small countries like Italy and Greece can bully him. Not to mention the Sun-Down Empire, which has been sitting all over the world, but everything has changed since the rise of the northwest. The whole China has begun to become different at a speed that the British could not imagine. I thought that the northwest would be just a separatist force. But no one expected that he would unify China. They were in Hong Kong before, because they were afraid that they would travel across the straits in the northwest and attack Hong Kong.

But no matter how prescient people are, they will not expect that the struggle in the northwest is far from over. Not only did they start the war of unification at home, but they also extend their tentacles to Southeast Asia abroad. There are millions of Chinese more in Borneo. Although there is no evidence from the British, French and other powers, only China has the ability to send so many Chinese in a short time. For some reason, they are willing to send millions of Chinese out. When they think of taking millions of lives to gamble, Jinheer felt a little numb. Even no matter how cruel the leader was, he would not do this.

This move made Britain and France very passive. The move to fully support the Netherlands was unable to achieve. Instead, Britain and France had to go to the forefront.

The Pontianak and Singapore are connected by undersea telegraph wires. Jinhell ordered the correspondent to contact Pontianak every half an hour to prevent Chinese people from attacking. The intuition told him that this possibility is very high.

Outside Pontianak, several torpedo boats were patrolling, and more than 10 cruisers set up camp in the dock, which was temporarily used as fixed turrets. They originally thought that they could play a role, but the other party did not come out at all. It seemed that they had discovered that their coalition forces had arrived and had retreated to the depths of Borneo.

The British and French allied forces had very rich combat experience. They knew that Pontianak must be built into the strongest fortress in order to gradually solve the Borneo situation. If they slow down, they will be slower. Their purpose is not to help the Dutch and clean up the Chinese armed forces in Borneo. They delayed time as much as possible and tried to wait until the end of the European war. At that time, no matter what they did, it would be much easier.

Inside the Pontianak Port, a temporary 40-meter high platform was built on a small hill and was raised about 10 meters high. The lookout can cover the entire port, because the port of Pontianak is straight, and using lookout can detect problems early.

Originally, the focus of the lookout hand was on another direction of Pontianak, that is, the direction of land. Unexpectedly, I saw several smoke pillars with a telescope. Could it be that the main fleet came? Judging from the thickness of the smoke pillar, it was almost nearly ten thousand tons of warships, but why was the number of smoke pillars so small?

In order to ensure safety, Xiao Jianfeng did not choose to attack at night, but was preparing to set out during the day. He arrived near Pontianak at about ten minutes in the morning and rested in a safe place. After waiting for 3 hours, he chose to attack after the sky gradually began to light. In this battle, he had to command himself, and even refused Cheng Biguang's follow. He also took off some officers from the three main battleships, which only ensured that there were enough drivers and about half of the gunners. The reason was very simple. If there was any accident and the team had problems, he would sink into the sea with the team. As for the people who stayed, they were the seeds of the future fleet. Even if there was a loss, they must be kept within a certain range.

Cheng Biguang was very moved by Xiao Jianfeng's insistence and patted his chest to promise that he would help Xiao Jianfeng look forward to his family, and by the way, he also asked Xiao Jianfeng to come back no matter what.

According to the submarine reconnaissance, all British and French warships were anchored in Singapore, and all warships did not make fires. A limited number of light cruisers on the outside were no more than 4,000 tons. These ships had no impact on the three Black Dragon Sea Ships.

From Singapore to Pontianak, even fast warships like destroyers take four or five hours. If they choose the most extreme approach, they have three hours. Once they exceed three hours, they must leave, otherwise they will not be able to escape from the range of Borneo.

Although the smoke pillars cannot be blocked, all the British and French warships in the port of Pontianak did not fire. Although the navy's main battleships have entered the era of oil-fired boilers, those who can be placed in East Asia are second-tier warships, and even more than 10 years ago, they were mainly coal-fired. It will take at least one hour to move quickly from a stop state to a start state. This is their Black Dragon opportunity.

The Yanzhu gradually approached, and the lookouter could see the outline of the opponent's warship. As the lookouter, he was familiar with every ship of the East Asian fleet, but he was not familiar with the other country. He called a French lookouter. Once both sides confirmed that it was not a ship of any of the two countries.

"Enemy attack!" The lookout hand let out a shrill cry, the alarm was quickly sounded, and the whole of Pontianak fell into a tense atmosphere. The ships anchored in the port began to set up emergency fires, and the artillery positions were temporarily set up, and the artillery soldiers were working hard to prepare.

Unfortunately, their reaction speed was still a little slower. When the lookouter discovered the Black Dragon, the Black Dragon was almost 10 nautical miles away, close to 18 kilometers. This was not the attack distance, but the lookouter could not determine it and could not issue a signal. It was not until it entered the distance of 7 nautical miles that it realized that 3 nautical miles, for the 15th Black Dragon, it took 12 minutes, which was less than ten minutes of reaction time, and it was too late.

Five minutes later, the Black Dragon entered within 6 nautical miles, a distance of 10 kilometers, which was exactly the range of the Black Dragon Pirates. As they were constantly approaching towards Pontianak, the three ships had made comprehensive preparations. Various measurements and shooting calculations were completed. Accompanied by the commander, six main gun shells, with angry flames, crossed the distance of 6 nautical miles and rushed towards the place where the warships anchored at the port.

Although the shooting rate of the test gun was not high, the dense parking of British and French warships and Pontianak was a commercial port, without enough protection and space. The first wave of attack hit two shots, hitting a 3,800-ton cruiser and a 1,300-ton destroyer respectively.

The 3800-ton protective cruiser, armor protection, saved his life. The protective armor was torn a hole of about ten meters wide, but the shells were not penetrated after all. Although it had entered a large amount of water, it did not sink. Another 1300-ton destroyer was in trouble. The 285-mm cannon was still 55 times the caliber. Such artillery power was at least not below the 330-meter cannon. How could a thin-skinned destroyer resist it? It only struggled for 12 minutes and then sank to the port as more and more enters the water.

The gunners were very excited when they won the first battle. Although they did not declare war with Britain and France, their identities were still the Chinese armed forces in Southeast Asia. They could not justify the flag of the New China. But they exclaimed their hearts. In the past 100 years, Britain and France have exploited many benefits in China and how many people have been destroyed by them. On the Black Dragon, there are a few families who have participated in the Sino-French War, and even the First and Second Opium War.

The artillery was like rain, and the British and French fleets were immediately stunned. The range of 10,000 meters was not necessarily enough even if they were prepared. What's more, they were in the parking state and had 7 minutes. They were just beaten and did not counterattack. It was not until seven minutes later that a heavy cruiser fired the first shot. (To be continued.)
