The guy's face immediately showed a look of horror, "Ah...it looks like a torpedo...the enemy has launched two torpedoes, hurry up...use the left rudder to avoid it, hurry up..."

The gunnery commander had served on Liugong Island in the Beiyang Navy. After all, he had seen the world. He immediately understood that this was a torpedo.

But it was too late to find out.

Even the captain didn't react. He didn't have time to issue a command for the helmsman to perform normal maneuvers, and the hull of the ship was directly hit.

"boom…"

"boom…"

Two huge explosions sounded on the lake.

In the No. 2 ship, two huge fireballs were seen rising into the sky, igniting a raging fire and sending out thick black smoke. The hull was blown into three pieces, and wooden planks were flying all over the sky.

Although these nearly 2,000-ton gunboats are of wooden structure, they are much larger and thicker than the six- to seven-ton armed fishing boats. If they are hit by heavy artillery a few times, as long as they are not in critical positions, they can still continue sailing, at least they can.

Run for your life.

But torpedo bombs are different. If two torpedo bombs are taken at the same time, the ship will basically be destroyed. It will immediately fall apart, catch fire and sink.

Faced with this sudden situation, all the gangsters, including the third master Bai Fengchun and other gang leaders, were all stunned.

They never dreamed that the enemy's gunboat, which was also transformed from a merchant ship, would actually have an advanced torpedo launching device.

But before the gangsters could wake up from their shock, the Wild Wolf had already aimed at the enemy No. 4 gunboat.

With two loud bangs, the enemy's No. 4 gunboat suffered exactly the same fate as the No. 2 gunboat.

"Quickly...all retreat, return to the base!" Bai Fengchun, the third leader, just woke up from a dream. He angrily issued the general retreat order, and he was not confused.

The flagship was the first to bear the brunt. It made a 180-degree turn with full right rudder and ran at full speed towards the Dragon King gangster's lair.

The other two gunboats hurriedly followed suit, but Ding Changdong, the helmsman of the Wild Wolf, could not miss this opportunity to avenge his grandfathers. His third set of torpedoes was already in launch mode.

"emission!"

With an order, the steam propulsion device started, and whoosh...two torpedoes attacked, chasing the enemy No. 5 gunboat 500 meters away.

Half a minute later, gunboat No. 5 was also hit and burst into flames. The hull was torn apart, and the gangsters on board were seen jumping into the lake to escape.

Fortunately, Flagship No. 3 and Ship No. 1 escaped first. They fled at full speed while blindly firing their tail guns in an attempt to block the approaching Wolf, lest they be hit by another torpedo.

The strange thing is that the Wild Wolf did not launch torpedoes again during the pursuit. This was not because Ding Changdong was merciful, let alone because of the distance, but because he had no torpedoes to use, and a clever woman could not make a fool of herself.

The trigger torpedo is a dangerous big thing. It has a special storage device and launch area and should not be loaded in large quantities.

The Wild Wolf, like the Blood Wolf, adopts the smallest configuration among British naval ships, with six-type loading.

In other words, there are only six torpedoes on the ship.

Now that Ding Changdong had used him up completely, he could only pursue him at full speed and bombard him with his 105mm main ship gun. At the same time, the close-range rapid-fire cannons and heavy machine guns on the deck were not idle, shooting at the speedboats floating on the lake and the bandits who fell into the water.

Counting from the time when the Wild Wolf received the order to attack, in less than an hour of fierce fighting, this group of most powerful water bandits on Poyang Lake destroyed three large gunboats, No. 2, No. 4 and No. 5, and damaged the No. 1 ship, including Bai Fengchun.

The flagship also took a hit.

So far, this mixed fleet led by Bai Fengchun has previously destroyed six fishing boats and cannon boats by Chen Tianhua's heavy artillery camps, two hit two ships, two wounds.

Almost lost all the combat effectiveness.

"Withdraw ... Hurry up ..."

"Escape, you can't fight anymore, and then fight again, the whole army is overwhelmed."

"..."

Under the mountains of Kang Lang, on the vast lake, the ancient battlefield of Zhu-Chen's war at that time has already made a mess, like an ant on the hot pot.

Several power vessels began to run around and ran towards the rear.

The remaining forty speedboats had no trace of the shadow who had run out of the same time as soon as possible. The unlucky is hundreds of water bandits floating on the lake, all of which have become gun targets.

Chen Tianhua held a high -twist telescope observation. He didn't let it go until the ship on the lake could not see the shadow.

Unfortunately, there are fewer torpedoes this time. If there are three groups, you can let this hybrid fleet destroy.

"Consume the results, see if there are still ships that can be used, dragged back to repair and make up, we just lack some small and medium -sized ships!"

Chen Tianhua asked the dealer to convey his order.

After watching the threat on the lake retreat, he was relieved.

This time, the biggest gangster of Poyang Lake-Sai Long King, this Toyo's horse's predecessor was hit hard, which is a great thing.

The sailor of Sai Long was beaten to be dismissed, and he must be depressed for a considerable period of time. Even if the Togo people spend their blood support, they must slowly recover.

In this way, the risk is greatly reduced for the next armed escort of this water transport channel.

There is no need to divide the troops anymore, just concentrate the strength of the army, kill the enemy on the front of the Luoxiao Mountain Canyon, and strengthen the defense of Xihua Mountain, Daji Mountain, Pangu Mountain and other mining areas.

The defender casualties have been counted. This time, a little casualties appeared in the shoal offensive and defensive battles.

During the first battle of the beach head, the retreat was slowly hit by more than 20 soldiers, and three soldiers were blindly shot by the gangsters who boarded the beach.

Seven serious casualties, no artillery damage.

The mortars were seventeen of the casualties, and the loss of 60mm mortar was lost.

The beach head defense position requires in situ maintenance.

All in all, this battle is a victory at a small price, and the timely delivery of information is the first place.

Scientific and reasonable strategic and tactical thoughts and execution are the core of the victory of combat.

The wild wolf attack, especially the torpedo, is the key prop to solve the lake battle.

In the face of the earthen bandits without far -defense firepower and avoidance skills, six torpedoes can be slaughtered for ten minutes. This is the advantage of weapons.

In the history of Poyang Lake as a bandit, they are pursuing the number and speed of ships. The first dragon boat speedboat, which is first scratched by everyone, is now motor, and the rest is not important.

Can add several large -caliber artillery to deal with those merchant ships that have no defense or weak defense capabilities, which is more than enough.

But let the bandits never expect that a private enterprise in the Great Qing Dynasty, the weapons and equipment under his security forces, were several times stronger than the Qing Army. This was surprising and incredible.

In addition to the large -caliber advanced artillery, it also has more than 2,000 tons of modern artillery ships. It is stunning, as well as big killers such as torpedo. I have to taste the failure of the failure.

Nympho

On the evening of the day, the center island of Poyang Lake.

In the Weihu Hall of Sai Long King Headquarters, the lights are bright.
