- Among the only remaining battleship squadrons of the Dutch Grand Fleet, there is a warship named Big Dutchman!
"Franz! What's wrong with you? Why do you look so wrong? Are you still thinking about the battle in Manila Bay that day?"
"I think yes, sir! I'm still a little scared! Those devils from the East! Will they catch up with me?" Franz's face was pale and without any blood, and he asked the first mate anxiously.
"Probablyno way!" The first mate's face also looked a little ugly! "After all, you have seen that most of them are merchant ships, and they can't catch up with us!"
"Really! Sir! But I think those Eastern devils might be able to use magic, and they showed up behind us after just a quick search!" After saying this, Franz's mind froze, and he suddenly felt that his My back felt numb and twitched suddenly! Nervously, he quickly looked at the surrounding sea.
The first mate looked helplessly at Franz¡¯s pale face, shook his head and did not answer. He decided to leave the poor guy aside, his subordinate who had been frightened by the Battle of Manila Bay and was a little insane! He was about to go down to the bottom cabin to comfort other people!
Suddenly, "Wait! What is that!" The first mate's attention was attracted by several strange things appearing on the horizon in the distance!
Franz also turned around suddenly, looking in the same direction as the first mate! "Oh! God!" Franz let out a high-pitched scream that could almost tear someone's eardrums!
"Dragon! Dragon! The Orientals have finally released their evil dragon! Are they coming to eat us?" Franz shouted hysterically, almost frightening everyone present!
On the distant horizon, in the direction where everyone¡¯s eyes were focused, several smoke pillars suddenly appeared on the horizon! There seemed to be a few small black spots under the smoke column, moving quickly towards this side.
Just when they wanted to take a closer look at what it was, "What are you still doing? Fight, fight! Be prepared for all battles, hurry up! We have guests again." Putting down the telescope in his hand, the first mate roared immediately There was a sound on the deck, along with the first mate's skillful and standard butt kicking action.
Everyone on the ship jumped into action like a swarm of frightened bees!
¡¡
"Huh? Come if you want, leave if you want. What kind of place is Manila? If you dare to come, you shouldn't even think of leaving. Order, move forward at full speed, and prepare for battle at all artillery positions." The support mission for the Dengzhou Campaign has just been completed. , Zhou Yu, who was taken to Japan by Li Zhe and found his subordinates there to set off again, gave orders to the officers around him.
"Yes, move forward at full speed, and prepare for battle at all gun positions." After receiving the order, the officer shouted loudly into the communication tube. Immediately, everyone on the ship began to respond. The three 2000t warships at Zhou Yu's feet and on both sides began to accelerate. (A wooden ship with a displacement of 2,000 tons should have a dead weight of no more than 1,000 tons)
With the development of the overseas colonization of the Three Kingdoms in time and space, the demand for the shipbuilding industry has heated up sharply. With the efforts of a series of scientific research units such as the Tiandao Research Institute, the Imperial Research Institute and the Engineering Academy, the empire's shipbuilding industry has achieved further leaps and bounds. The previous reserves Various new technologies quickly entered the technical verification stage, and various new ships were launched one after another. The ship under Zhou Yu's feet was a 2000t-class experimental iron-ribbed wooden hull cruiser that had just been delivered to the navy by the Qingdao Shipbuilding Industry Research Institute.
Li Zhe brought Zhou Yu to the time and space of the late Ming Dynasty. Of course, it was not just as simple as bringing an excellent naval commander. In fact, as the current important officer of the Naval Department of the Imperial Privy Council, Zhou Yu has been responsible for one of the naval experimental fleets. Commander's mission! Li Zhe was brought from the time and space of the Three Kingdoms to the time and space of the late Ming Dynasty. Also coming with him were the power modules and firepower modules of these three ships built by the modern time and space. They were assembled in the time and space of the Three Kingdoms for the Imperial Navy's Shipbuilding Industry Research Institute to study and imitate. Experimental ship!
The reason why it is said to be an experimental ship is because there is something special about this ship - there is no sail on this ship! There is only one mast that serves as a watchtower, a thick chimney behind it, and what looks like the driving and command cabin of a modern ship under the mast.
Of course, in addition, there are many differences from the 17th century warships. For example, there is no second gun deck. Instead, there are two twin cannons, one behind the other, holding seemingly stubby 155mm 26-caliber cannons. The combined turret has no side string gun windows, but the newly installed 37mm sniper cannons on both sides of each ship have replaced the bulky 16-pound cannons as supplementary firepower. In the boiler room under the chimney, a group of boiler workers were sweating profusely adding coal to the furnace.
As shovels of coal are filled into the boiler, more steam drives the steam engine to run rapidly, and the mechanism in the engine room controls this steam.The power of fire is converted into the power of the warship to move forward, bringing faster speed. After a while, the three ships puffed out thick smoke and reached a speed of 19 knots one after another. Rushing towards the Dutch fleet that had just retreated from Manila.
¡¡
"Oh! My God! Are the pagan gods from the East coming to punish us?"
Looking at this kind of ship without sails, almost all the Dutch were shocked. Most of the Protestants couldn't stop making the sign of the cross on their chests with their fingers! Ask God to forgive you for the sins you have committed in this life and grant yourself salvation!
"Idiot! That's not the evil dragon from the East! That's a warship! A bunch of stupid guys! Get up quickly and get ready to fight! Do you want to hand over all your sins to the pagans from the East to be judged? A group of stupid guys! You idiot! Even if the evil dragon from the east is really coming! I will only use the artillery in my hand to hit them back into their fucking assholes!"
"Left rudder 30, hoist the mainsail, hoist the jib, hurry up, you stupid pigs."
"Clear the gun position and prepare the artillery. Don't spread the sand yet. Oh! God, Brother Dick, you bastard! If you keep carrying gunpowder like this, you will send all our people to the sky. Put it down quickly and go and carry the shells first. .¡±
"Light the match, load the matchlock, take out the spear, don't wait any longer! You cowards!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, damn it! Check the rope, I don't want to get my head smashed by the pulley."
Under the fierce command of the first mate, the Big Holland began to prepare nervously for battle.
And the entire battleship squadron also woke up with a series of actions and began to respond! One after another, large galenic ships dragged at a slow pace and formed little by little to meet the attack. The speed was like that of an elderly Europa lady. However, compared to the navies of other European countries, But it can also be regarded as well-trained and responsive.
Looking through the telescope, although the opponent only has three large warships, for the crew of the Dutch Navy who have seen all kinds of efficient killing tools on the Manila battlefield, even three ships must be dealt with carefully. The enemy is so cunning!
What's more, the three approaching warships are full of weirdness. They have no sails, but they are smoking. They are moving so fast on the sea, and there are not many artillery on the surface. Looking at it with a wide eye, it seems that each ship has a lot of smoke on its front and rear. There are only 4 guns, but the captains who have seen the firepower of the Manila Fort also know that this battle is definitely not easy to fight.
Thanks to the vast majority of skilled sailors who were familiar with each other, the entire formation began to look decent after 15 minutes. However, in order to exert the best firepower, it still needed to be adjusted. By the time Zhou Yu's three-ship formation launched from the sea level, When it was less than 20 kilometers away from the fleet, the Dutch fleet maintained the acceleration of the formation. At this time, Zhang Liao's three-ship formation also began to reorganize on the move. Although it is said to be a formation, in fact, there is not much change. It is still a one-line formation. The purpose is simple and clear, which is to seize the T-shaped horizontal position and exert maximum firepower.
Of course, the Dutch fleet on the opposite side is not stupid. The British relied on the T-line tactic to defeat the Spanish Armada. It only happened a few years ago. All European navies are studying this tactic. As a successor to Spain, the Netherlands became the "sea" How can the successor of "Coachman" fall behind? Almost as soon as he saw the three ships on the opposite side forming a formation, the Dutch fleet commander knew what the other side was going to do. In order to avoid being the vertical one in the T, he naturally turned and headed upwind to seize the horizontal position with Zhou Yu. .
For a moment, the sea surface turned into a runway. Both sides were accelerating towards the windward position. All the sails were fully bulged. The bow of the Galen ship split the waves and tried its best to speed up. The swell of the sea water could not stop it. The image of the ship's bow, which although mottled but carefully maintained by the sailors, was constantly washed away. The captain carefully adjusted the rudder, looking for more speed.
"Shengyanfan, we have to hurry up."
"Hurry up, hurry up, otherwise you will have to eat cannonballs." There is no way to win with the two 16-pound long guns leaning on the bow of the ship. Together with the only way to escape from pirates or European counterparts, or to chase the opponent's ship The adopted extended sails were all raised, and with the strong sea breeze, the absolute main warship currently in the hands of the Dutch, the Galen ship popular in Europe, quickly reached the top speed.
but¡¡
¡°Damn it, how could they be so fast!?¡±
The first mate of a sailboat looked at the thick smoke spewing out of the chimneys of the three-ship formation. The scissor-like bow split the waves, and at an unimaginable speed of 22 knots, it quickly headed towards the T-shaped place that decided the fate of both parties. go ahead. A long wake appeared at the stern of the ship, which seemed to tell how fast these three ships were. At the same time, the bloody phoenix flag fluttering in the wind was flying in the sea blowing at high speed.There is a sound of hunting in the crotch.
Fifteen minutes later, with the help of the strong power of the steam engine and the excellent hull design, Zhou Yu's fleet took the lead in grabbing the T-shaped horizontal position, and the muzzles of the 12 155mm naval guns were already pointed at the Netherlands, which was still accelerating at full speed. fleet.
"Don't worry, there is still a chance. Change the formation. We are still far away from their shells." As if to comfort himself, Rear Admiral Philip, the commander of the Dutch battleship squadron, said with a guilty conscience.
But soon, as if they heard what Major General Philip said, the 12 naval guns on the three strange ships opposite opened fire. (To be continued.
