239 Burning the Company

Following Wang Bo's order, the stern of the Heat Wave, which was already parallel to the enemy ship, instantly sprayed out a jet of gasoline as thick as a water pipe.

The gasoline column was like the common fire water cannon on later TVs. It was in the shape of a cylinder at first, but when the spray distance exceeded 70 meters, the oil column turned into a strong mist in the sea breeze and spread on the pirate ship.

The next moment, the oil mist detonated by n number of oil lamps at the same time ignited all the ships at the end of the team in one second. Large flames steamed up, and the figures in it didn't even have time to scream.

Swallowed by the sudden bright light.

At this moment, a certain arsonist who was running for his life naturally did not dare to delay for a moment. With the high-speed advancement of the Heat Wave, the sea wind blowing in the head became very strong, spreading the oil column shot from the stern of the ship diagonally behind him.

A fire dragon that continuously spits out bursting flames appeared on the ocean surface.

In less than a minute, the high-pressure spray gun sprayed more than 1 ton of the original refining process of No. 60 gasoline over a distance of just a few hundred meters, and then the battle was over.

Behind the figure of the arsonist running away at high speed is a skewered boat dragon.

At this moment, all the 200 sailboats stationed in Pirate Bay were on fire. At the same time, the flowing gasoline had ignited the sea surface. The spectacle of half seawater and half flames finally appeared.

The sky-high firelight in Pirate Bay reflects the sky, the scene is grand, and the flames are raging into the sky.

Less than one-twentieth of the people escaped alive. These people standing in the bow of the boat were the only ones who had a chance to dive. The sudden flames spread rapidly in seconds, so no one in the cabin could survive.

Any possibility of survival.

In the end, only those with the fastest reactions can dive into the water at the first time and swim to the shore with the flames floating above their heads, re-interpreting Arnold Schwarzenegger's classic shot in the 17th century.

At the same time that the pirate ship was detonated, on the ship 2 kilometers away, the time-travelers watching the show with telescopes also exclaimed: It felt like the later bombers dropping napalm bombs, the effect was simply too shocking.

"Oh, what a pity. It's a one-time ultimate move, just used it like this." Wang Xiaohui, who was holding on to the railing of the bridge, was looking at the fire scene in the distance and licking his lips, looking dissatisfied with desire.

"Come on, this is already a crime against humanity. Isn't it too little?" Sha Zhengming glanced at the Rewave that was returning to the team, then patted Wang Xiaohui on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's go to the Zhongzuo Station for a circle."

At 11:30 p.m., the arsonists began to change direction and headed west towards Zhongzuo, leaving behind them a sky full of red clouds.

Now that the hidden ultimate move of spraying oil to burn ships has entered the cooldown period, it's time for the artillery to show off its power.

This cooling time does not mean that the gasoline reserve is insufficient, but that when the enemy is on guard, this kind of close-up charge routine cannot be used.

The simplest way: as long as the defenders set up a guard composed of some broken boats outside the station, then the Heat Wave will not be able to accelerate and charge while circling the plum blossom pile. If the speed is lost, the sneak attacker will put himself in danger.

Therefore, this ultimate move is just like that of Saint Seiya. It will not work against the same enemy the second time.

And at the same time that the sneak attackers transformed into hungry wolves and drove toward the center left with murderous intent, their target had also woken up and sent out sentries in the direction of Kinmen.

The Pirate Bay where the fire broke out was less than 20 kilometers away from the Zhongzuo Institute, so when the sky was filled with flames, a large number of pirates from the Zhongzuo Institute had already discovered the strange phenomenon in the eastern night sky. Li Kuiqi himself, who received the alarm,

As soon as I saw the fire cloud after leaving the cabin, I sent a small boat to the east in the dark to check the situation.

"Brother, I'm still worried. Let me go and see for myself." Seeing the fiery red sky in the distance, Zhong Bin, who had just put on his robe and ran from the Chinese military tent, was jumping anxiously.

"Brother, you are confused! We don't know the enemy situation, and it's night again. Why don't you go out to feed the fish? Just wait for the news!" Li Kuiqi glared at Zhong Bin, who was in chaos, and ignored him.

It’s no wonder that Zhong Bin jumped: He has 90% of his strength in Jinmen. If something happens, he will fall from his position as the second shareholder of the company in an instant. Who can bear this?

However, the major shareholder Li Kuiqi could not care less about comforting his allies at this moment. In his analysis, the fire reflected in the distant sky must not be a natural scene. In addition, since this fire can be seen by himself far away in Zhongzuo Institute, then

It is impossible that someone accidentally broke the lamp oil and even ten boats could not burn such a big fire.

Therefore, there must be an enemy attack.

As for who is coming? As far as Li Kuiqi's first feeling is concerned, he still thinks that the Zheng family in the north of Kinmen is the most suspicious: the Kinmen soldiers and horses, which are only 20 kilometers away from Weitou Bay by sea, pose a huge threat to the Zheng family. In addition, the Zheng family

Having lived here for a long time, I am familiar with the sea conditions and terrain, and adventurous night sailing is also possible.

Thinking of this, Li Kuiqi had some confidence in his heart: No matter what the Zheng family does tonight, the army will rise up tomorrow morning and take down the Zheng family's nest in Anping.

However, things are unpredictable, and after only half an hour, he knew that he had guessed the wrong opponent just now, because the rumble of cannons came from the sea.

The sound of cannons coming from far and near clearly marked the sailing direction of the incoming enemy, and also threw away Li Kuiqi's previous speculation about the Zheng family. There is no doubt that no Chinese pirates are capable of gunfire in the dark.

However, at this moment, Li Kuiqi no longer cared about playing guessing games. He had to send troops to fight. Even if his pirates couldn't tell the direction at the moment, it was better than waiting to die in the port!

So Li Kuiqi immediately began to give orders, and then a large number of pirates were kicked out of their cabins. The entire Zhongzuo Port suddenly fell into chaos and noise: sailors began to try to use torches and oil lamps to illuminate the deck, raise sails and lift anchors.

However, night ships are not so easy to drive. The half-awake and dizzy sailors soon fell into rolling gourds on the fragmented deck. Some people with night blindness fell into the water one after another. The fleet was like headless flies in the darkness and

They collided and rubbed against each other in the chaos, and curses filled the entire port.

The next moment, the noise suddenly stopped for a moment: a thick water column hit the water surface of the port, causing a large splash.

It seemed like a moment passed, and it seemed like a long time. With the rumbling sound of cannons, the people in the port not only became quiet at this moment, but also collectively looked to the east, 15 kilometers away, at the enemy troops covered in sparks and lightning.

has appeared.

At this moment, the crossing fleet has changed from its previous wretched form. The lights of the 8 ships on the sea are all turned on. The light bulbs on the heads of the 44 forts illuminate the whole ship brightly. The bright searchlight poles cut the night into pieces, accompanied by

The reflection on the water surface was like a broken mirror, as if it were a divine ship sailing from the Tianhe River.

Ignoring the noise in the distance, the fleet was now moving unhurriedly to the center left at a steady speed of 6 knots. All the little shrimps it encountered along the way were casually sent to the bottom of the sea.

Starting from the extreme distance of 15 kilometers, with the first test firing, 44 artillery pieces began 10 rounds of covering fire in the following time.

Since it is a night battle with extremely low visibility, the fleet's sighting and ranging at this moment can only rely on the infrared rangefinder and low-light rangefinder installed on the flagship "Light".

After all the parameters are collected, the crew can use a small program on a laptop or PC to calculate the shooting parameters. The information is then notified to each ship via walkie-talkie, and then to the fort using a tweeter or a separate speaker on the gun emplacement.

.

After hearing the repeated shooting sounds coming from the loudspeaker behind him, in a bright cone-shaped light that resembled the stage of an opera house, the gunner began to quickly adjust the height and direction of the machine.

At the same time, the second gunner had already selected the specified amount of powder bags and shells from the lift cabinet behind the gun position based on the information from the loudspeaker. When he returned to the muzzle, the third gunner had already used the gun.

After finishing the cannon bore, the two of them worked together to "poke" the powder packets and shells into the cannon bore in order.

Next is the gunner's job. First, the gunner will insert a special pointed awl through the gun door to pierce the powder bag. Then he will insert a pull fuse into the gun door and connect the pull rope.

, the entire artillery crew began to cover their ears, waiting for the order for the fleet to launch a salvo to come from the loudspeaker.

The entire reloading preparation process will not take more than half a minute, and the firing frequency tonight is once a minute, so the members of the gun crew are actually relatively leisurely, and they have time to enjoy the scenery outside the ship.

Of course, because they were under the spotlight, they couldn't actually see objects outside the ship. This situation lasted until the fleet came to a distance of 500 meters in front of Zhongzuo Port: there were dense lights in the port and small lights burning from time to time.

A burst of ship flames illuminated everything around them, and the soldiers could now clearly see the situation in the harbor.

The fleet that arrived at the gate of Zhongzuo's office from 15 kilometers away had already fired a full 10 rounds of artillery shells, pouring a total of 440 iron balls onto the large group of pirate ships.

Next comes the second round of strikes.

Under the command of the time-travelers in the bridge of the Youguang, the fleet began to divide into two groups and shoot separately.

Relying on the convenience of sighting equipment and communication equipment, the two destroyers commanded a total of 20 guns divided into four gun groups and began to shoot at the ships that were struggling to come out of the port one after another.

The remaining six frigates kept their targets unchanged and launched rapid fire at the enemy ship gathering area that was already within visual range.

It was time to test the effectiveness of the usual training: after the gun crews on each battleship issued the "free and rapid fire" order through the loudspeakers, the gun crews took off their coats one after another and started the shooting competition with a roar.

These black men, who had been fed all kinds of protein by time travelers to build muscles, finally burst out with all their energy at this moment. During the 10-minute shooting time of the second round, the most efficient artillery team fired an average of 3 rounds per minute.

The super speed poured most of the cannonballs in stock onto the pirates' heads.
