C2754 target transfer (1/2)
From the moment the Zhiyuan Warship appeared on the battlefield, not a single officer in the ship thought of returning alive. From the beginning to the end, they only had one goal, and that was to kill as many enemies as possible before they died in battle!
From the beginning to end, the Zhiyuan Warship's navigation path had not been adjusted at all. He appeared from the northwest direction of the battlefield and rushed towards the southeast, walking in a straight line.
On the way, he bombarded twenty-four rounds in a row, sinking two heavily wounded French battleships and successfully piercing through the French 'head fire.
At this time, the Zhiyuan Warship had no intention of changing its course. Instead, it kept moving forward, even charging towards the cruiser without slowing down.
Could it be that Xiang Ying's goal was those cruisers with sails and wooden shells that were covered with a thin layer of iron? But why was it that when all twenty cruisers had surrounded him, he didn't fire a single shot?
Why was this Zhiyuan like a silent bull facing the chorus of the French Fleet's cannons, continuing to rush towards the southeast direction? One must know that the southeast direction was the Spic Island's beach, and this was already the continental Europe's coastline.
Could it be that you, Zhiyuan Warship, are an amphibious battleship? You can run as fast as a train on the coast?
No one understood the Chinese strategy. What was this suicidal strategy trying to do?
Tens of thousands of cannons shot out simultaneously, the Zhiyuan Warship s were in a complete mess. The artillery shells exploded the entire Distant Steel Plate into nothing, and the thick teak deck of the battleship had long been torn into smithereens under this chaotic bombardment.
If the soldiers were to run on the disorderly deck, even the slightest mistake, they would be pierced through by the sharp wooden spikes!
Even the smoke pipe that was emitting black smoke had a hole blown out, rolling black smoke came out from both sides and the top. The black smoke had even affected Xiang Ying's line of sight.
However, all of these things did not stop the Zhiyuan Warship from advancing. Even the gunner did not know what kind of orders they had received, but ever since they entered the encirclement, they had not fired a single shot.
The cannon within the encirclement rumbled, causing the water in the sea to shoot up into the sky, the smoke and dust filling the air mixed with the Zhiyuan Warship's smoke and dust!
”What's going on? Why didn't these Chinese fight back? ”What are they waiting for …”
”Look, they're still charging forward. They're charging towards Nanxi and Moselle!”
”Are these Chinese crazy? They're about to reach the shallow water. They'll run aground! ”
Just as the French Army was crying out in alarm, the Zhiyuan Warship had already reached the closest point between the cruiser Nan Xi and Moselle. At this point, Lin Zhen was no longer silent, he suddenly ordered the main cannons to open fire.
Three sets of 210 naval gun s spewed out flames at the same time. The cannons penetrated the iron armor of two cruisers at the closest distance and the huge explosion wreaked havoc in the weak ship's body!
With a shot from the tail end of the Nanxi, the propeller and power system were completely destroyed. Rumbling seawater poured into the hole.
The main mast of the Moselle was blown off, the heavy mast smashed onto the deck, overturning two fixed cannons. The remaining artillery shell hit the command room of the Captain, and even the helmsman and Captain went to hell.
Even pure Iron-armored battleship s were not a match for the Zhiyuan Warship's main cannon, let alone these wooden shells that were wrapped in a thin layer of iron.
