Life in Film and Television: Starting from the Jinshui Bridge

Chapter 324 Annihilation of the Left Fleet
To put it bluntly, there is nothing unusual about it, it is nothing more than a time difference;

If the left fleet could not be eaten before the opponent's encirclement circle was formed, then the ten battleships could only be sacrificed, the main battleship group retreated, and then fell behind to find a chance to take a bite.

Hearing Shang Kexi's tactical arrangement, Liu Meng nodded, and felt that there was nothing wrong with Shang Kexi's tactical arrangement.

The biggest drawback is that the ten warships dispatched are likely to be surrounded by enemy ships and sunk, and the entire army will be annihilated.

He didn't even need to think about it to know that these Dongjiang naval officers and soldiers who had been brainwashed by themselves would never choose to drop.

This is also the result of the tragic battle that Liu Meng told them from time to time about the Sino-Japanese War.

In the hearts of these naval officers and soldiers, the military soul of the Dongjiang Navy has been subtly influenced.

But Liu Meng understands that this is war, and as long as it is a war, there must be sacrifices, so naturally Liu Meng will not be kind to women.

I can only decide in my heart that after the battle is won, a grand funeral will be held for the sacrificed naval officers and soldiers and they will be given the honor they deserve.

And it was Wu Guoyuan, the captain of the Zhenbian, who was assigned to meet the enemy ships in the middle.

The moment he received the order, he was not at all scared because he was going to fight against 35 enemy ships, but was very excited.

After learning about naval warfare for so long, he still doesn't understand that the commander-in-chief and general monk are planning to eat up the Dutch battleship group in one bite.

And such an important and glorious task was handed over to him. Doesn't it mean that the commander-in-chief and general monk trust him?

He also secretly made up his mind that he must do his best to contain the enemy ships in the middle and buy enough time for the main fleet, even if it means sacrificing the lives of all the officers and men on the ship.

Liu Meng watched the ten warships sail out of the battleship group, and without hesitation faced the enemy ship group that was five times or even six times their size.

There is an inexplicable feeling of regret and tragedy in my heart, but war is like this, someone must make a sacrifice, right?
He can only hope that Shang Kexi's main battleship group can eat up the enemy fleet on the left earlier and support them.

No way, this is not on land, even if he is facing tens of thousands of enemy troops, he can take the lead in breaking through the enemy's camp and pressing the enemy's formation by himself;
But in naval battles, no matter how defiant his personal combat power is, he still can't play a role.

Even the role of an ordinary sailor is not as good.

Fortunately, Shang Kexi's command was very effective, and he chose to concentrate firepower to attack, even if it would waste big medicine.

There is only one purpose, which is to seize time and destroy the enemy ships on the left as soon as possible.

And the effect of this is that once the enemy ship is locked by concentrated fire, even if it makes various evasive actions on the sea, no matter how fast it runs, it will be covered by a wave of fire and sunk.

This way of killing the enemy is naturally very fast. A wave of shells will be fired every 15 seconds, and the time to lock the enemy ship is only 10 minutes at most, and the opponent will lose a warship.

Calculated in this way, it is really possible to completely eat the enemy ship on the left before the enemy ship surrounds it.

Wei Malang stood on the ship tower, although his face was still calm, but his heart was extremely anxious.

Seeing that there are still ten miles away from enveloping the opponent, but there are not many battleships left on the left.

And the opponent sent another ten warships to meet them. Obviously, even if they sacrificed, they had to stop their own warships, eat the left side, and break their own siege tactics.

In fact, this is not to blame Wei Malang, since he submitted the proposal to attack Pidao, he was destined not to win the battle.

Even if he could defeat Liu Meng's warships, he would not be able to safely reach Shicheng Island and Pi Island.

Don't forget, the 150 heavy guns on each island are not something his warships can easily deal with.

Soon, ten warships were dispatched to meet Wei Malang's battleship group.

This time, there was no opportunism at all. Ten battleships rushed into the enemy fleet and began to cruise around the enemy fleet.

First of all, ten warships opened fire first, and were lucky enough to sink one enemy ship, but because the distance was too close, it was inevitable to bear the enemy's artillery fire back.

Immediately, the entire sky over the Yellow Sea became lively, and the naval guns of both sides fired at each other, and the missed shells stirred up water columns several meters high from time to time.

In the process, Wei Malang was also surprised to find that the opponent's artillery not only fired far away, but the shooting speed was not comparable to that of his own side.

At this moment, Wei Malang couldn't help feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

You must know that in a naval battle, even if the opponent's artillery fires faster than one's own, a second faster is enough to be fatal.

It only takes a few seconds for the ship to be destroyed.

Finally, Wei Malang's fleet had a numerical advantage. The Zhenzhong was concentrated by the enemy's intensive artillery fire, and sea water poured into the cabin from several holes. engulf.

Liu Meng saw this scene through the binoculars, and it would be a lie if he said he didn't feel sad. This was also the first warship he lost since the two naval battles.

He also blamed himself in his heart, why should he be lazy, and not create dozens more warships in the space.

As a result, his number of warships was at a disadvantage. Not to mention the sacrifice of one warship, he also sacrificed hundreds of naval officers and soldiers who had trained hard for almost two years.

When Wei Malang saw that one of the opponent's warships was sunk, he was also secretly happy in his heart, as excited as if he had been injected with a shot of stimulant.

At this moment, hope rose in his heart. As long as the opponent's battleship can be sunk, it means that the opponent is not invincible.

There is still a chance to turn defeat into victory and take down Pidao, and capture the blueprints of new warships and new artillery, then instead of doing nothing wrong, I will have merit.

Thinking of this, Wei Malang ordered to intensify the attack, trying to destroy the five enemy ships blocking him as soon as possible.

However, he was obviously happy too early. When he sank one of Liu Meng's warships, he didn't notice that there were less than ten of the thirty warships on the left.

Facing the concentrated fire of the twenty warships of Liu Meng's main force, it is absolutely impossible to support them, solve the five warships blocking the way, and surround them.

On the other side, one of the five warships responsible for blocking the enemy fleet on the right was also hit, but fortunately, it did not sink immediately.

The hundreds of naval officers and soldiers on the battleship, except those who died on the spot, all jumped into the sea water, temporarily avoiding the fate of death.

When Wei Malang focused his firepower again and hit a battleship, Shang Kexi had wiped out all the thirty battleships on the left, and all of them were sunk on the bottom of the sea.
