C2755 beachhead slaughter (2/2)
Currently, the Zhiyuan Warship s were struggling to resist the crazy bombardment of the French battleship s. How long the four-and-a-half-inch armor could endure for, no one could say.
As for Zi Yun, his starboard side turned into a fiery Iron Hedgehog. The trajectory of the artillery shell danced in the air like the spikes of a hedgehog's demonstration!
armed merchant ship could not defend against the fire from Zhiyuan Warship at all. Battleship after battleship ignited into flames, especially when the 210-caliber cannon shot out. A single shell could completely shatter a tungsten wood vessel.
In a short fifteen minutes, six merchant ships were destroyed, and the surface of the sea was filled with fleeing French soldiers s!
Amidst the fire on the deck, French soldiers's body that was crying miserably was covered in flames. They were smacked around randomly like headless flies, until they fell onto the deck and could not move.
Countless soldiers jumped from the railings into the water in panic, plop plop plop plop …
This hellish scene shocked everyone present, the British were completely stunned. They finally realised that the Chinese were completely different from the Great Qing.
He was so shocked that he was afraid of losing his life! All of Zhiyuan Warship's tactics today were completely contrary to all of the Navy's textbooks. This was a fighting style that attempted to take down the enemy with the aid of explosives!
No rational commander would give such an order, but no one present dared to or could blame Xiang Ying for it.
It was because this brutal massacre had intimidated their hearts. This kind of berserk and hysteric madness was too good for hot-blooded soldiers!
”All my life... To be able to command such a bloody battle... This life will not be in vain! ” Countless British officer quietly said this in their hearts.
Compared to the British's laments, Huo Fu and the other officers and soldiers of the French Navy were wailing in agony.
The Zhiyuan Warship's tactic had hit their weak points, and if the Zhiyuan Warship did not attack the army, then even if he heavily injured the French Fleet on the sea, the thirty thousand army would still be able to threaten the hamburger.
At this point in time, the Prussian army had completely pressed down on France. The coastline only had two or three armies as the final defensive force.
At that time, the army would attack the hamburger and help them get out of their predicament. Even if there were a few more casualties in the navy, they would still be able to get out of this predicament.
However, he never expected that the Chinese would risk their own lives to attack the army. This massacre would completely disrupt the overall strategic plan of the French army!
Take a look at those burning merchant ships. Many soldiers were burned to death before they even got off the ships. There were also those heavily guarded weapons and ammunition supplies …
Without artillery and ammunition, even if there were no soldiers, there was no way to fight! Did he have to rely on the army's bayonet to kill his way to the hamburger?
”It's over, it's all over!” ”This expedition has completely failed …” Huo Fu was so anxious that tears were about to fall, he knew that he was done for, what awaited him in France was definitely a military trial!
”Blast this damned warship... Wu wu wu … Blast him... God bless me... God bless me for sinking this damned warship... ”Sob, sob, sob …”
Huo Fu was already in a hurry to the point of crying, ”How can there be such an abnormal defensive ability? Why can't I clear it … ”Why can't I clear it …”
