C1036 The sudden arrival of the fleet (1/2)
The cannons at the Ikek Port never stopped. After Esmeralai led the Chile to disperse the Peruvian Navy, they continued to swim outside of the Ikek and used cannons to suppress the shore defense cannons.
In a naval battle, generally speaking, the battleship and the base of the turret carry out bombardment, but the side of the battleship always suffers a loss. Because the base's cannon was directly installed on a sturdy cannon emplacement, they were not afraid of recoil so they could install cannons with even more large caliber. Its power was not something that the battleship's cannons could compete with.
Furthermore, the Eternal Hardening Cannon had also been constructed with a thick and heavy fortification. Using reinforced concrete in the modern era, as well as a slightly primitive stone cannon, the defensive capabilities of the cannon were also very good. The cannons of the battleship's small caliber really tickled the cannons of the cannon, and when the cannons fired their ammunition onto the battleship, the 20-30 mm thick metal armor was really hard to defend against.
Fortunately, the strategic intent of this battle was to harass and suppress the Chile Navy, so they did not consider using battleships to solve the problem with their cannons. Therefore, the fleet had always been shooting from the edge of the furthest range, although their accuracy was lacking, the accuracy of their cannons' firing had also decreased greatly.
Compared to the navy's soy sauce, the army was in full swing. The sailors on the fleet were all extremely excited as they watched the war going on on on the shore. They all exclaimed, ”Oh my god, it seems that we won't be able to obtain any merits even after the war ends. The army is really too lucky …”
However, how could the God of War ignore the pleas of these soldiers? Not long after the land-based offensive order was issued, a mysterious fleet suddenly sailed over from the Pacific Northwest.
”Reporting, sir...” ”A huge fleet was discovered in the northwest, heading towards us at high speed …”
”What?” Fleet! Could it be the main force of the Peruvian Navy? They're risking everything to fight us? Guys, the victory you're looking forward to is right in front of you. lookout hand will report the situation at any time! ”
Orders were issued one after another from the flagship Esmeralai. The flagships' flagmen began to communicate, and soon the fleet was out of the firepower range of the shore defense cannon. All of their attention was focused on the Pacific Ocean.
”Reporting, sir...” The identity of the enemy warship has been confirmed... It was the Peruvian Navy's flagship, the Huska … Peruvian Navy is out in full strength … ”
”Wait! The quantity was wrong! ”Sir, the numbers are wrong …”
lookout hand put down the telescope, rubbed his eyes, then raised it up again to examine it carefully. Seven Eight Nine... ”Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen …”
”Twenty three, twenty-five... Twenty-eight, twenty-nine... My god, the Peruvian Navy's fleet sent 29 battleships? How could there be so many!? ”
The officers of each ship were climbing onto the side of the ship and using their binoculars to look around. Each of them had a look of disbelief on their faces, ”No, you're wrong!” You must have seen wrongly, the total number of soldiers in the Peru is only twelve, since when did it become twenty-nine? Wait, there are actually wooden Sail battleship behind the fleet? ”
”Dammit, it really is twenty-nine beasts, the number of Iron-armored Ship has increased to twenty, the remaining nine are wooden Sail battleship, where did their reinforcements come from?”
Without any time to think, the two fleets quickly closed in on each other's effective range. With an effective range of two kilometers, it was entirely possible for both sides to unleash the greatest 24 lb cannon power.
”Prepare for battle... The gunner loads... flowering bomb Ready... Aim at the enemy's flagship, release! ”
