Chapter 731 (2/2)

Even in the shape of El Salvador de Mondo, the class I battleship was afraid to move forward.

The first-class battleship is also a wooden hull battleship. In front of 122mm high explosive, it's a vegetable delivery ship!

Compared with the dense sailing warships in the Bay, the seven Cherokee class warships in the open sea are so lonely. But it happened that seven warships blocked more than 120 windsurfing ships directly in the bay.

On the sea at this time, only those big caliber fortress guns in the two fortresses fired in vain towards the sea at a shooting speed close to two minutes. However, the projectiles fired by these powerful large caliber fortress guns can reach more than 500 meters away from the seven warships

But none of the seven Cherokee class cannons would pay attention to the two fortresses.

As the commander of the fleet, he got the order from the boss before he came, that is, try not to damage the facilities of Havana. After all, if it is damaged, he will have to repair it himself later.

As for the Spanish fleet, they also tried to block them into the Gulf. If you can force them to surrender, that's the best.

The range of Cherokee class guns is enough to cover the whole of Havana Bay. If the imperial fleet really wants to attack these Spanish warships, it will be enough to destroy at least one-third of the Spanish warships by the fact that these warships are now densely packed together. It only needs the fleet to carry out more than ten rounds of saturation attacks.

As for the two fortresses that can't move at all, if the fleet wants to fight, the two solid fortresses are just two living targets.

Now the main task of the fleet is to blockade the Gulf and prevent the Spanish warships in Havana Bay from leaving the port.

Therefore, the confrontation between seven steel warships and more than 120 Spanish sail warships across a two kilometer Central River is really weird and funny.

Of course, another important reason why the seven warships of the Empire did this was to let the 22 armed merchant ships behind them quickly approach the coastline to the west of Havana, and then let the soldiers of the five regiments of the first division land in Havana!

Later, the Spanish warships in the Gulf may have been landed by the soldiers of the first division, so these warships began to rush out.

The imperial fleet's guns roared again. However, compared with the slow shooting before, this artillery attack directly turned into saturation artillery attack.

Within a minute, there were more than 300 rounds of 122mm high explosive and more than 500 rounds of 105mm high explosive, which directly blocked the whole central channel.

More than 30 Spanish warships were hit and set on fire in just two minutes, and four windsurfing warships were completely turned into a pile of garbage floating on the sea due to the explosion of ammunition.

As for the largest Salvadoran de Mondo class I windsurfing battleship, it has also been the focus of attention.

Even though the ship had been hiding behind, Navajo focused on the largest windsurfing warship.

So, in just a few minutes, the brand-new salvadore de Mondo was hit by four shells, which directly hit the class I windsurfing battleship and did not dare to rush forward

The narrow central channel used to be the best protected channel in Havana Bay, but now it has become the death passage for Spanish headwinds and privateers.

The blockade lasted for nearly a day. With sufficient ammunition, no Spanish warship could get out of the central channel.

When the seventh and eighth regiments of the first division of the bear army captured Havana early the next morning, and quickly set up hundreds of 76 mortars on the wall, Havana could not be saved, and Spain's upwind fleet could not be saved
