The navy led by Liu Buchan immediately decided to attack Kamakura.Their location was less than 20 kilometers away from Kamakura, and they arrived soon.

Kamakura is nothing but a small coastal town.The population is small and the industry and commerce are not developed, so Neon has no defense here at all. Not to mention that the navy has not deployed fish shore defense artillery, and even the army has not deployed too much force here.

However, after a few rounds of volleys, the resistance here collapsed and the small town fell into a sea of ​​flames.

Neon people are also very puzzled, why did the Imperial Navy attack here? Is there no big city worth attacking along the coast?

However, the answer was soon revealed.

After the destruction of Kamakura, the warships of the Imperial Navy went to the sea to guard against the sudden appearance of torpedo boats.They are equipped with a large number of rapid-fire guns, and as long as they are discovered in advance, the pitiful speed of the torpedo boats on the vast sea is to deliver food.

All the main guns on the Qing Dynasty were raised high, aiming in the direction of Dongdu.

They are 32-caliber 13.5-inch guns. This range is sufficient to cover most of the Dongdu area. If the barrel length of the 45-caliber guns was originally designed, the range could reach a terrifying 30 kilometers or more. Cover the entire eastern capital.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Following Lin Yongsheng's order, the five twin main guns roared.With the red light of the gun lip flashing, the incendiary bombs were high on the insurance policy, whizzing and flying towards the east.

The flying speed of the shells is very fast, but as the flying distance increases, the trajectory of the shells gradually changes due to the influence of wind and air friction.

Of course, when firing at this distance, Daqing did not consider the hit rate at all. In such a big city, no matter how you deviate, even if it is two kilometers away, it will fall within the range of Dongdu.

The ten shells were relatively close at first, but with the deviation of the direction and curvature of their friends, coupled with the influence of air friction and wind, they gradually dispersed and scattered in all directions in the eastern capital.

The Qing ship made five volleys in the first round, and stayed for a few minutes to perform the second round.

In fact, the Qing Dynasty did not report much hope for such shooting, so he believed that these shells would definitely destroy some buildings, cause fires, or kill a lot of people, but thought that although Zhao Cheng’s loss would be relatively large, it would not produce. Especially big impact.

So they plan to go back for replenishment and overhaul after ten consecutive days of shelling every time without rounds, and even need to replace the barrel.

At this time, Dongdu seemed unusually quiet, the war was at an absolute disadvantage, and merchant ships were unable to go to sea, which caused prices to soar. Except for rice and grain shops, which are still hot and often out of stock, other shops are cold. Desolate.

The emergence of the Qing fleet caused the residents to flee on a large scale, but those warships have not launched an attack for a long time, seemingly deterred by the iron barrel-like defense of the East Capital, and most of these people ran back.

Life has to go on and life has to be taken care of. Although the commercial street is deserted, people still follow the steps of their own affairs.

suddenly.

There were waves of howling in the sky, and most of the shells were already weak after arriving here, and even the sound of breaking through the air was not so sharp.

"What sound?" Huaxia Chinese www.huaxzw.com

"what happened?"

Many Neon people looked up at the sky blankly. Most of them had never experienced war and had no idea what was going on.

"Baga, run!"

"This is the sound of a cannonball flying!"

Finally, a middle-aged man in the crowd reflected that he had participated in the attack on Yingzhou, and he was shocked for a while to react.

He shouted that he had changed and started to run, while paying attention to the situation in the sky.

At this time, most of the people around him didn't do anything, they were still at a loss.

The war is too far away for them. This is the neon capital city. Even though the fleet has been driven to the sea more than 30 kilometers away, doesn't it mean you can't get in.

"Ah! What a cannonball!"

"The Qing people have come to the east! What about the imperial navy? Doesn't it mean that they can't get in?"

"Run! Amaterasu God bless!"

"The Dahe people are over, are we so weak already?"

When small black dots visible in the air appeared, they reacted and started screaming in horror.Subsequently, these little black spots grew bigger and bigger.Scattered around.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A 340mm shell hit the ground and exploded.A huge flame rose into the air, and the shock wave generated by the explosion with the shrapnel spread to the surroundings, even more.

From a distance, it looked like a huge flame lotus in full bloom, extremely gorgeous.

A 340mm shell has a huge kill time. The gunpowder in it has almost 30 kilograms, and various flammable aluminum powder, magnesium and ferroferric oxide are added.

More than a dozen nearby neon people were thought to be broken into pieces, and more people were killed or shook up by the shock, and were pushed out from the surrounding buildings.

The nearby one was easily shattered by the shock wave, and then a fire rose quickly. Most of the buildings of the Neon Man were made of wood, which is a good raw material for burning.

If the components of the orthodox incendiary bomb are aluminum powder, ferroferric oxide, magnesium powder, and potassium chlorate, the high temperature generated by the explosion is more than 3000 degrees, and the incendiary bomb used by Daqing is not the most perfect incendiary bomb, but even if the flame produced by the explosion does not The high temperature generated by the contamination on the building is enough to ignite a nearby fire.

One incendiary bomb caused several or even dozens of flames, and the flames began to spread rapidly...

As the shells fell, the sound of continuous explosions was remembered everywhere in the eastern capital. Of course, half of the shells fell directly on the open ground, or even in the river water, leaving a large crater, or stirring up a hundred meters. The high water column did not kill anyone or cause a fire.

But the Qing Dynasty did not only conduct one round of shelling. The shells were flying eastward...
