1519 The Navy is completely crazy!
"Struggle to death! Even if you can escape from several warships, you don't have a supply port in this vast sea. How can you survive? It's really a matter of death..." Xiang Ying sneered and directed the Chinese navy to form a formation to intercept it. The Zhiyuan hull was horizontally east-west, and used the right side of the ship to meet the enemy. Three main guns took turns to shoot the last few hundred meters of the minefield to a mess.
Ye Qiu and his men's mine-burning operation did not complete the task successfully in the end. In the place closest to the main urban area of Vladivostok, due to the blockade of the Rakshasa Army, a safe exit of nearly 800 meters was left.
This hole has never been blocked with mines. It’s not that Xiang Ying and the others don’t want to block it, but that all the mine reserves of the Volunteers have been exhausted.
A good cook cannot cook without rice. Without the gap of mines, the navy can only defend with naval guns. Fortunately, the Zhiyuan arrived in time and blocked the Tsarist Russian Far East Navy that was about to escape.
With the flagship of the Shiyuan and more than a dozen sail-shelled wooden warships such as the Broken Waves as supplements, a huge circular encirclement was formed on the outside of the Amur Bay.
If an outsider sees this encirclement, it is indeed impeccable. If so many warships guard the 800-meter waterway, the enemy will not be able to fly out even if they have wings.
However, in the eyes of experts, this encirclement actually has a big loophole. The most important thing is the ratio of warships between the two sides.
Zhiyuan was the most advanced warship in the entire naval battle. This is undoubtedly the Tsarist Russia had no hope of defeating him. However, Zhiyuan's excellence could not conceal the backwardness of other Chinese naval warships.
In addition to the Zhiyuan, all the remaining Chinese warships are wooden sail warships, including training ships captured from the French and modified with merchant ships. These warships have formed a shortcoming.
On the other hand, the Tsarist Russian Navy, 15 large warships were all wooden-shelled iron-armored warships, and the sail-steam dual-powered, while the other five wooden-shelled warships were also paddle-wheel-driven.
As for the remaining small patrol gunboats, they were all made of wooden shells and iron armor.
A discerning person can understand at a glance that the Chinese navy is a top student fighting with a group of poor students, while the Tsarist Russian side is a group of middle-aged students who are neither up nor down to resist.
Is the average the most important in naval battles? Or is the heroic warship that is ahead of the world important? It really depends on the specific judgment of the situation of the war.
If this is a decisive battle between the two sides and the commanders of both sides are determined to fight the enemy to the death, then the Chinese will win this war.
No other warships need to cooperate. As long as the Zhiyuan has enough ammunition and enough maintenance engineers, he can beat children in the sea.
The reason is very simple. I have the highest defense! I have the fastest speed! My artillery has the longest range, the greatest power, and the highest accuracy!
Zhiyuan can completely rely on maneuver power, wander outside the effective range of the Tsarist Russian fleet, shooting them one shot after another, and the other party could not hit him at all. This is the attribute bonus brought by the poor technology and the poor era.
But now the naval battle is not a decisive battle between the two sides. The purpose of the Tsarist Russian Navy is to escape, and to give up the flagship to command itself to rush outward.
At this time, Zhiyuan was a little overwhelmed. All its weapon systems could only be used to deal with the most important targets. What I said about the current situation.
Those wooden sail training warships are not opponents at all, or they cannot stop them at all. The gap of 800 meters is the stamen, while those Tsarist Russian warships are blooming petals, and the Zhiyuan can stop one-third of it is considered burning incense.
This is a suicide breakout like a moth to the flame. Russian warships rushed south at the fire, and warships were hit and raging fires were ignited. The sea was full of wreckage and dead sailors, and countless Tsarist sailors were calling for help.
At this time, there was no friendship. The Alex ignored his colleagues on the sea, and his tall hull directly crushed the living sailors.
Atolin's eyes were blue and he shouted loudly, "Roar over! Rush over! Use our warship to block the artillery fire of the Zhiyuan... You can escape as much as you can! Remember this revenge and avenge us!"
"Peak in front of the Zhiyuan artillery! Shoot against him... It's time for us to meet God!"
The Alex was burning. Although its huge hull was not as big as the Zhiyuan, it was also the second largest warship on the sea. The mountain-like hull blocked the shooting angle of Zhiyuan. He was like a warrior who blocked the gun and approached forward like a shouting warrior.
Xiao Letian could already see the faces of the roaring soldiers on the Alext, and suddenly a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, "No! These Russians want to be pirates!"
Xiang Ying was stunned and he also reacted. Atolin was indeed insidious. As long as he ensured that about ten warships in the Russian fleet in the Far East could successfully break through, a pirate fleet would appear on the sea of East Asia that would scare everyone.
These desperate Rakshasa ghosts will pounce on unguarded harbors, burning, killing, looting and doing all kinds of evil. Every merchant ship on the Golden Channel will be their target of slaughter.
In this era, the Pacific Ocean is far less widely developed by humans than the Atlantic Ocean. The North Pacific, including the Bering Strait generation, has some islands that have not been explored or even marked on the map. These will be hiding places for pirates.
If you can beat it, fight it, run away if you can't beat it. From then on, the Chinese route will never be peaceful. Even Xiao Letian can be sure that these beasts will secretly seek British and French sales. Those shameless diplomats and colonial governors wish that someone would cause trouble for Xiao Letian. When they saw that Tsarist Russia was willing to do this dirty work, wouldn't they be happy? It is estimated that weapons and ammunition will be sold for 20% off.
"Xiang Ying! Block them... You must not let them escape!" Xiao Letian's face turned pale in an anxious manner.
Xiang Ying also realized the enemy's strategic intentions at this moment. If these beasts armed to the teeth escape, the Chinese will never have peace. You will not even have the opportunity to develop peacefully. There are wars everywhere on the sea, and the Chinese will have to use the most precious resources to suppress bandits.
If money is wasted on this, the corresponding industrial development will naturally be less money, and the time for the rise of the Chinese people will be extended, and all variables will emerge at that time.
With a bang punch, Xiang Ying shouted, "Fast shooting... regardless of casualties! All the secondary guns fired, and sink the Alerute as soon as possible! Rush up and hit me! Use the ship to block the gap..."
"Isn't it just a bayonet at sea? Who have we Chinese people ever been afraid of!"
