This fleet can be described as extremely powerful including;

More than 6,000-ton Baya, 4,600-ton La Galissania, as well as Nieri, Fort Reynolds, Soni, and Amirim Four two thousand-ton cruisers, several thousand-ton gunboats and various small boats.

If the two navies do not choose to divide their forces, the outcome of the two navies is really unpredictable. Even the Gaul army has certain advantages, but there is no such thing in this world.

It is difficult to control information at sea. At this time, they did not know the result of the Mawei sea battle, and they still came quickly to Jilonggang.

"Master! Already in range! Do you want to fight?"

Asked Zhang Shiqian, head of the first regiment.

"Notify the artillery of the best range and fire it later. Don't move!"

Liu Mingchuan was not frightened by the sudden formation, but calmly ordered that he believed that the gunners would not be messed up, but he needed to be reminded.

Although it can be hit now, the hit rate and the power of the explosion will not be ideal, and it needs to be closer.

"Go down and look at your position, don't let up!"

When Zhang Shiqian brought back all the OK information from the artillery, Liu Mingchuan also arranged for him to guard the beach position.

He arranged a three-dimensional firepower net, with defenses set up from different angles on the mountainside, mountain top, and beach.It is a test of the commander-in-chief's ability and the resilience of each regiment and battalion commander.

The Gallic fleet moved quickly, and it was about to enter the chicken coop bay. At this time, they also dispersed their formation and raised the muzzle.

The artillery battalion commander Zhong Jin decisively ordered the firing.

The Battle of Gaul Chicken Coop officially broke out!

In the bang, dozens of shells roared out, and the birds on the sea disappeared without a trace. Recently, Daqing has been testing artillery continuously. They have long been used to it, but they are quite calm.

The calm sea suddenly rose up into the sky with water jets, and the agitated waves continued to hit the Gaul warships, the warships swayed continuously, and the sailors were beaten wet.

It's just that the gun failed the first time, which is normal.

The Gaul fleet is obviously well-trained and often goes through such situations. It turns the bow of the ship leisurely, does not panic in the event of a surprise attack, quickly adjusts its shape, lined up, and aligns the car with the chicken. Cage port, in order to exert the greatest firepower of the warship.

After testing the gun distance between the two sides, Pierre immediately ordered the fleet to retreat, turn into a safe area, and then discharge the reconnaissance boat to find out the deployment of the opponent's troops.

"Fuck it! These Gallic guys are really cunning. Fortunately, I also kept a hand and didn't use new cannonballs at first!"

Zhong Jin secretly surprised Gao Lujun's cautiousness and quality, and at the same time secretly scolded his subordinates for being wasteful and unable to adapt to changes quickly.666 Literature Network www.666wxw.com

However, it was difficult for the gunners. Army guns were changed to shore defense guns. The angles and the running of the ship had to be recalculated.He also replaced the new-style shells that had been practiced, and it was a hell to fight accurately.

"Kill those mosquitoes! If you can't get rid of them, you are not allowed to eat!"

Zhong Jin cursed with great victory.Obviously angry.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

This time the gunner was suffocated. It was a trivial matter to have nothing to eat, and it would be a shame if he couldn't hit it again.

The 120MM gun and the 180MM gun were all shot out, and the poor boat was lost to pieces.

"La Galissania against those two gunboats!"

"The Baya and the cruiser suppressed the coastal defense guns! Other ships covered the army's login!"

Pierre was a little confused about the quasi-head of the shore defense artillery, so he decisively ordered to start logging in. He was unwilling to delay too long to make the enemy's reinforcements arrive.

Although the Gaulian Navy has a large number of naval guns, due to the distance and height, there are not many guns that can reach the top and the mountainside. The two sides can be said to be 50-50.

"Damn monkey! Why are their shells so powerful!"

Pierre couldn't help feeling distressed when he saw the 300-ton gunboat being bombarded.

The rocks collapsed and the waves were flying over. Suddenly the Gaul warship found that the shells on the opposite side suddenly became more accurate, and the power of the shells became not small. They were no longer solid shells in the traditional sense of Qing soldiers. It is a flower bullet, or an armor-piercing bullet.

The so-called solid bullet is a cannonball with coal and sand added to it, which will only leave a pit or a hole in the ship.

Very bad power!

Most of the shells used in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 were used in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, but there were only a few dozen shells.

However, even in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, even if the Beiyang Navy did not purchase new ships, as long as it had the same artillery shells as the Neon Army, with the Beiyang Navy's much stronger accuracy than the Neon Army, it could win, but...

The flower bomb is easy to understand. Not only is it no longer black powder in the traditional sense, it also adds a patch ball, etc., once it bursts, it has a huge lethality.

Armour-piercing bullets are cannonballs added with the precious metal tungsten, which have strong penetrating power.

As the largest country in the production of tungsten, the refining technology Wang Guangxu also exchanged it immediately after the victory in the war against Korea. Although the purity of the refining is not too high, it has a purity of 97.

It's just that the number is small for the time being.

And more than eight thousand Gauls under the cover of the naval gun, began their landing...
