1717 New American Empire

Chapter 257 The Ironclad Ship Shows its Prestige

Sixty-five versus thirty, one side has ten huge battleships, while the other side has only one ordinary second-rate battleship that has been inexplicably modified. In Kamal's view, the battle has no suspense.

Regardless of that guy wearing the Commodore

No matter how hard the leather slave traders struggled, he was destined to lose. According to past battle examples, Kamal arranged his fleet in an orderly manner to seize the T-position. According to his idea, the enemy would definitely compete with them for the T-position, otherwise, they would

There will be no chance of winning.

And if he chose to snatch the T-position, he might still be able to survive and cause them a little trouble. In order to hand over a satisfactory answer, he couldn't let the fleet suffer any greater damage. However, Kamal commanded the fleet just now

When he started to move, Ijik was also smiling.

Kamal is so naive. Do you still think that he, Ijik, is still the short-sighted and stupid slave leader? After half a year of intensive military training, he has long been reborn. The stingy and short-sighted person he once was has been replaced by the most advanced people in the 21st century.

replaced by the concept of naval combat.

The t-position is not omnipotent. It is a tactic that is applicable only when the combat effectiveness of the two sides is not far apart, or one party is far stronger than the other. If the combat effectiveness is not far apart, then the one who seizes the t-position first will definitely be able to succeed in the next

have the advantage in the battle. But the difference is too big. The stronger side seizes the T-position and can end the battle faster, and the losses will be very small. The weak side can also remember the advantage of the T-position and try its best to

Delay for a while.

In fact, if you really think about it, the combat effectiveness of both sides is that the Ijik side is stronger. This is because all the artillery on the thirty warships are rear-mounted artillery. The damage of the artillery does not rely on solid shells.

impact, but the shrapnel and fire produced after the blast of high explosives

The flames and its terrifying impact. With a caliber of only 75mm, it can have an attack effect as high as that of an 18-pound heavy artillery. It is even better in terms of casualties. If the high level of gunpowder caused by those people randomly stacking gunpowder is

The explosion rate and power are actually quite good.

Moreover, this does not include the 19 powerful fire-breathing muzzles on the ten modified battleships {three on the battleship, two on the cruiser, and one on the frigate}. This by-product of smelting oil burns horribly

The level is still higher than that of crude oil. Because all highly stable components have been removed, what is left is extremely easy to ignite. At the same time, because it has the nature of oil, it is impossible to put it out with water. Only sand can be used.

Put out such fires.

Even wood that has been specially treated to prevent flames to a certain extent will be completely ignited as long as it is sprayed for five seconds. Ijik does not care about the gain or loss of the T-position, because this time, he will

Adopt new tactics.

"Very good, the enemy's actions were not unexpected. So, let's give them a shot and let them see what the real wolf tactics are!"

"oh!!!"

The thirty-ship fleet, under Ijik's order, suddenly dispersed. O37 submarine hunting ships and O24 missile speedboats were paired into a group of two high and low. Using their fast speed, if they encountered obstructive water flow

Generally, it passes through the gaps between all ships. China's later modified O37 submarine hunter has a maximum altitude of 37 knots, and the O24 missile speedboat has a maximum altitude of 58 knots. This is completely flying on the ocean.

When the two ships started speeding, all the British were stunned. The terrifying speed had already penetrated deep into the center of the camp before they entered the T-position. Even the gun ports on each battleship were

Not opened. The two ironclads, like the most agile fighting wolves among the wolves, rush into the middle of the prey and divide the enemies who want to unite to resist the wolves into small and scattered groups. Then, they will turn around,

Cooperate with ordinary wolf warriors to bite the enemy into pieces.

The ordinary wolf warriors have already arrived, a forceful attack fleet composed of five modified cruisers and four frigates. At the end of the wolf warriors, there is the most powerful existence in the entire wolf pack and an unparalleled deterrent to the enemy.

Wolf King. It is also the flagship of Ijik. It was a battleship captured from the French and renamed the flagship of Tempest. Tempest will always be the name of the company's flagship. There will always be only one Tempest as the flagship in the navy at the same time.

Serving in China.

The Storm is no longer the backward sailing battleship it once was. In order to strengthen its strength, all the sails have been removed. The power system of the Storm will be provided by three large steam units. The extra space, in addition to

After loading the crew's supplies and artillery ammunition, the rest of the space is basically filled with coal needed by the steam unit. Even the crew's rooms are stacked with coal wherever there is space.

Doing so is not fruitless. The three engine groups can provide the battleship with a maximum speed of 17 knots, whether it is tailwind or headwind. When the wind is tailwind, it can even reach 19 knots. Although it is different from the O37 submarine hunter and O24

The speed of the missile speedboat is still far behind, but it has already surpassed the British warship. The Storm is like a terrifying wolf, walking forward like a leisurely stroll. In fact, it has already been done.

Battle preparation.

The alpha wolf's muscles had already been tightened, and he would pounce out at any time, causing unimaginable damage to the enemy. The first shot was fired from the O24 missile speedboat. The missile speedboats passed through the British warship at a speed like flying.

, and then came to the flagship Boston

The O24 submarine hunting ship has a front turret with two 37mm cannons. This was specially requested by Xiao Lin. For this purpose, many accessories that were not very necessary in this era were sacrificed before the modification was successful. Originally,

The power of the 25mm cannon is really poor.

Even if the shots are against the sky, there is no way to break the armor. Xiao Lin will not stay in 21 in the future. In fact, it is very difficult to supply armor-breaking bullets. He can only wait for the company's researchers to study the manufacturing process of armor-breaking bullets.

Only when sufficient raw materials can be found can supplies be carried out. The 37mm cannon is different. The shells can be used with the main gun of the White Tiger I tank. The power can also penetrate the side planks of the current sail battleship. The White Tiger I tank will still be outdated if it is to become obsolete.

It's been a long time.

The company has not yet completed 100% independent production, let alone eliminated it. Even if it falls behind in the future, it can be modified into various civilian equipment. This was also done by the Soviets in history. 37mm artillery, in missiles

With the help of the ammunition supply system on the speedboat, the firing rate reached an astonishing 5° per minute. If the service life of the gun barrel was not taken into account, it could even reach 1 per second, which is 60 per minute. The Boston had just stopped and was busy firing.

When the cannon gate is open, the cannon fire will be more powerful.

All the gunports were loaded with three types of shells, and the two missile speedboats attacked from the left and right, directly sweeping away the gunports on the left and right sides of the Boston. Kamal was caught off guard, and became angry and roared.

Sailors took advantage of not being attacked

The artillery on the deck fired back. At this time, the O37 submarine hunting ship had arrived. Its two 57mm main guns and two 12.6mm anti-aircraft machine guns opened fire at the same time, cleaning the Boston's deck like a vacuum cleaner.

The Boston lost its combat effectiveness in the tenth tenth minute of the battle. As soon as the flagship left, the morale of the entire British fleet suddenly dropped by one-third. Seeing that the Boston was unable to fight, the ironclads also let it go.

There were nine battleships, and they still had a lot to do. Kamal also escaped a little bit. When he woke up from the dizziness, Kamal found that he had dodged and his forehead was scratched by the debris on the deck.

A huge gash.

Watching the ironclads go away, Kamal patted the deck bitterly and immediately organized people to start putting out the fire. The Boston had been ignited by gunfire. If it was left alone and the gunpowder in the cabin was finally burned, Boston would be completely hopeless.

. The armored ships once again implemented the guerrilla tactics. The other British warships were so frightened that they quickly opened their gun doors. They were all aiming at the armored ships, hoping to destroy these crazy and scary little bastards.

However, the speed of the two battleships is simply not something that fixed artillery like theirs can hit. There are some small artillery pieces on the deck that can be twisted in any direction, but the power of those artillery pieces cannot penetrate the two ships at all.

Iron armor. Therefore, they are of no use if they hit them. On the contrary, because of this panic shooting, they caused accidental damage to their own people. Many unlucky frigates and cruisers were shot several times by their own people when chasing them.

.

After this, the British fleet was in chaos, and Ijik was waiting for now. The cruisers and frigates began to disperse, each hunting their own prey. All the forts of the Storm already had operators, and one shell

Excited navy warrior outfit

Fill the artillery. Then, they started shooting at all enemy ships unscrupulously. Because the gun doors on both sides of the middle and lower parts of the ship's side have been cancelled, and there are no artillery placement, and the fort can be turned, so they have no need to

Need to be disguised.

At the same time, each battleship is equipped with a huge ramming angle. The gunner only needs to turn the battery and then shoot at the enemy ship. The sailor only needs to let the ship ram straight through. Only ten ships have been modified.

The battleship, with an indomitable attitude, rushed into the British battleship group arrogantly.
