C899 blood sacrificial Atlantic (1/2)
The sounds of fighting were so familiar, including the series of explosions. Molière and Major General Bruce were so shocked that the binoculars in their hands dropped.
”Is this a regular army?” Xiao Letian's Army... God, this is the war of the yellow-skinned monkey against Europe! They actually sent the Army to Europe... ”
At the end of nineteenth century, Europe's military theory had developed rapidly. All the military theorists approved of the elite military policy, and the most annoying thing was to play cross-border games.
In the minds of European militaries, the army was the army, the navy was the navy, and even the artillery in the army was an independent unit.
How could there be so many talents in this world? The army that went ashore was the navy, and if he was given a few cannons, he could proficiently shoot from afar using the trigonometric function? It couldn't be denied that there was such an incredible person in this world, but how many could there be? Was it enough to form an army?
The people of this world didn't have the concept of a Marine Corps. In the previous two Opium Wars, the English and French was made up of two parts, and the Navy was used to control ships to cross the ocean and provide firepower support along the coastline. The army that attacked the city was the ordinary army. After landing in the safe zone, they would use the typical army operating manual to attack the enemy.
The navy and the army each had their own advantages and disadvantages, and each fought for more than the other, which was the norm in the nineteenth century.
And today, when Sun Chujian led the soldiers to launch a final desperate assault, all the Frenchmen in the ocean were stunned. Isn't this the typical army exercise code? Fire guns shot out in unison, the Triple Triple Assault Formation shot out in rapid succession, and there were even some of Ryukyu's most proficient hand grenade tactics.
If they were shooting at each other on the sea, the French Navy would have had ten thousand ways to torture the soldiers of the Kunshan to death. But now that the two ships had reached a climax in their battle, the students from the French Navy who mainly fought on the ground took advantage of the situation.
”Damn it, I've been tricked, I've been tricked …” This ship is just waiting for us to catch up with them. They are not the navy at all, they are just an army … Previously, those merchant ships must have been deceived and met with calamity through the starboard battle. These despicable Chinese people, they are the Prussian! ”
Although Molière scolded him, he had no idea what was going on. He could only bite the bullet and go up the stairs, ”Give the order to the Holiness, don't look at them blankly, and quickly charge forward to support the Gauls … Your force is five to six times stronger than theirs, ah. If we lose like this, we might as well jump into the sea and commit suicide! ”
The combined strength of the Gauls and Holiness had already reached a total of 600, but the Kunshan s that they were fighting on top of that were only 130 or so, and in the process of shooting, more than 50 people had already been killed.
The remaining seventy to eighty elite soldiers were all brought to the Gauls by Sun Chujian. Relying on their strong fighting strength, they charged and killed the entire Gauls, causing it to wail.
If the soldiers on the Holiness wanted to support the Gauls, they would have to rush past the Kunshan s who were already covered in smoke. No one knew whether there were any explosives on the ground below, but Military Order like Mountain and the others could only rush forward fearfully.
”Quick, quick, quick...” Everyone increase their speed, go and support the Gauls … ” Just as the officer was urging them, flames suddenly sprung out of the Kunshan's cabin door, replacing the thick smoke. A large amount of kerosene had already ignited all the combustible objects on the lower deck, and the soldiers could even feel the heat coming from the thick leather boots.
”My God, this ship is going to burn down... What was in it? ”Cough, cough, cough …”
Anthracite, also known as white coal, was the most thoroughly coalesced coal on earth. It contained the highest amount of carbon and the least amount of impurities. The same unit also provided the highest amount of heat among all types of coal.
The Zhiyuan Warship returned home using the highest quality anthracite produced in Prussia. Using this kind of coal boiler would not produce any long black smoke at all. Most of them were gray smoke belts. From afar, it looked like a dirty cloud.
