Chapter 334

"And please call me Boris."

He was recommended by lieutenant general Gustav to go on the ship and went to sea in just ten days.

This slovenly, melancholy looking middle-aged officer has used his excellent ability to make all the officers on the ship admire him, including captain Elvin.

It's probably that real people don't show up?

But on this ship, anyone can see that this maverick major Boris is a man with a story.

At present.

The crew and officers of the class IV battleship "fengfengjiao" were originally composed of a class VI cruiser "conch" at the bottom.

In the middle, he experienced a big exchange of blood, filled with a large number of excellent recruits at the same time as captain Elvin, and then made a supplement of soldiers respectively before carrying out transnational missions and leaving for the new world.

Now we have completed the staffing of 350 people.

However, in essence, there are still problems such as insufficient quality of officers and inexperienced personnel.

The skill of "sailing" is better.

After Elvin became the captain, the crew had no spare time.

I've been running around all the time, and I've also dealt with all kinds of dangerous sea conditions, including "storm", "tsunami" and "black dike". Even if I practice, I'm pretty good at it.

However, another key skill "gun handling" is really not an "excellent" comment.

According to the naval code stipulated by faletis, each gun group consists of six members, with one gunner in charge.

Each gun deck (including three gun decks on the fourth class ship and main deck) has one fire control officer and one vice fire control officer.

In the middle and long distance combat, the gun crew is responsible for loading ammunition, while the fire control officer is responsible for setting the gun firing parameters and adjusting the up, down, left and right firing angles.

Finally, under the order of the gunner, the gunner of each artillery group is responsible for firing the responsible artillery.

Artillery firing is a complicated tactical action that requires cooperation of many people, especially in the battlefield when the battle is in confusion. The quality of artillery has a great impact on the warship firepower.

Even if there are the best warships and artillery in the world, if they are given to a group of halflings, they may not be able to beat the second level or even the second level opponents.

Although Boris joined the army halfway, he was an official knight with the rank of major and a famous "artillery expert" in the new world naval base!

As soon as he took office, he took the post of artillery commander of "fengfengjiao", responsible for the daily training of artillery.

In the short time of more than ten days at sea, the appearance of the artillery is not entirely new, but at least they have gradually laid the foundation for becoming excellent artillery.

Especially under the guidance of major Boris, as long as we go through a few more real battles, we can have a bright future!

As for why this famous artillery expert with outstanding ability was willing to condescend to take the position of artillery commander on board Ivan, who had no strong sense of existence and had no position on the "storm horn" before him?

The reason is simple.

This Maj. Boris, who seems to have boundless scenery, has actually got the promise of lieutenant general Gustav, the commander of the base:

as long as he finishes this battle and successfully helps the kingdom to achieve the set goal, the general will agree to his retirement application!

Why he retired at the peak of his military career is another story.

At the command of Captain Elvin.

Boris has impolitely taken over the command of the gun captain Reeves and issued his own order with the powerful lung capacity of the official Knight:

"gun group in position!"

Step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step.

The two gun decks and the main deck are equipped with 18 24 pound guns, 20 12 pound guns, 10 9 pound guns and two 6 pound small guns on the stern.

Only because half of the firepower of the warships of this era is idle because of the design of the ship side gun, so the gun group only needs to consider one side of the ship side at the same time.

During this period of sea training, although the artillery got the most direct promotion, they also suffered a lot in the hands of Boris, who was cold and hard-hearted.

Boris, who had no plans to stay on the "storm horn" for a long time, was not afraid to offend anyone and asked them to do everything according to the highest standards.

Even the older gunner, Reeves, was very careful to provide for the gunner, who was higher in rank, stronger in strength and more capable than himself.

All the artillery, up and down, did not dare to be slighted.

"Let's go downwind! Keep the formation

In line with the always cautious style, Elvin ordered the two warships to encircle from the leeward, which can not only prevent the pirate ships from escaping, but also avoid the eccentric ones who will find the battleship's trace in advance by virtue of the smell.

The distance between the naval warships and the pirate fleet is getting closer to 500 meters.Although the effective range of artillery is 1km, the hit rate, artillery power and firing frequency have reached an optimal balance in the current distance.

"The cannons are packed with pyrotechnics!"

Each gun group quickly burned the "solid bomb" to red with fire, and blocked a lump of wet mud between the gunpowder and the shell during loading, which took a little longer to complete the loading than the normal solid bomb.

But now taking the initiative and having enough time to prepare, Boris, of course, chose the favorite of all the artillery, the "searing bomb".

Boris personally entered the lower gun deck, guarding nine 24 pound guns on one side of the ship, while the chief gun officer Reeves went to supervise the upper deck.

Seeing that all the artillery groups had finished loading within the prescribed time, Boris nodded slightly and calmly pulled out the artillery command knife with a slight arc at his waist and a brass guard.

When the command knife was slightly raised, a layer of supernatural light, which was hard to see by naked eyes, burst out on the blade synchronously and spilled onto every ready shipborne gun of the warship.

Every gun seemed to be fine tuned in an instant.

"All of you, ready, fire!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ...

the orange red fire blazed and illuminated the sea under the thick fog.

The two battleships adjusted their firing range and at the same time poured out 18 24 pound shells, 20 12 pound shells, 10 9 pound shells and 2 6 pound shells into a torrential fire.

At the beginning.

The pirate fleet, who thought that they had met with ordinary fog, had temporarily stopped on the sea with the tactical action of sailing ship braking, but did not expect that disaster would suddenly come from the sky.

As a matter of fact, with their strength, they are not afraid even if they meet the Navy's multiple cruisers. They can fight and escape, and they have not yet reached the combat area, so their vigilance is not so strong.

When they heard the sound of the guns, they had ushered in the justice of the Navy!

Click...

"enemy..."

"ah...!"

Boom!

The hull of a sloop is as fragile as a paper shell under the attack of a hot bomb. The hot iron shell easily cuts off the mast of the sloop and breaks through layers of ship plates.

Even from the stern, bouncing all the way to destroy everything on the penetrating gun deck.

The human body, even the extraordinary body, will only be easily torn to pieces under the powerful kinetic energy.

Just a round of volley, it made a huge fireworks in four pirate ships.

Because.

Unfortunately, the ammunition depot of a sloop at the end of the queue was punctured by a hot bomb, which directly triggered a spectacular explosion!

Careful observation will show that the penetration and accuracy of the shells launched by "windstorm horn" are far higher than that of "endeavor", and the biggest achievements are almost all created by "windstorm horn".

At this point.

The pirates, who were suddenly attacked and surrounded by fog, were in a disorderly formation. Apart from firing back blindly, they could not even transmit signals, let alone resist systematically.

"Fire teams, load the pyrotechnics!"

The command knife raised high again overflowed with extraordinary light.

"Ready! Fire

The torrential rain of iron and fire spilled out again.

After the second volley.

The sporadic counterattacks on the remaining three pirate ships have been completely silenced, and even the pain after being injured can hardly be heard.

The flaming flames rose from the three pirate ships. Even if they were covered by fog, they were clearly seen by the crew members who didn't open the spiritual connection.

The naval battle began only a minute before it came to an end.

They are not evil spirits or big sea monsters. The "battleship" is the most important way for human beings to conquer the sea. It plays an incomparable combat advantage in the face of ordinary seagoing ships.

The firepower comparison between the two sides is not a grade in itself. What's more, the navy has added a powerful buff to itself.

[secret treasure of the sea - artillery command knife! 】

it belongs to major Boris' family.

Ability · artillery extreme meaning: able to swing 200% of the range, accuracy and power of Shipborne artillery.

Limitation: the premise is that the definition of "shipborne gun" with large-scale array must be met.

Special equipment is not included, such as the reverse cross halberd on the "Guard commander".

Elvin clearly saw that with the help of this magical command knife, a shell penetrated the other side's hull and then flew out through the bulwark on the other side.

With the overwhelming firepower advantage and additional strength, the lethality of these shipborne muskets on board has leaped for a generation.

At this time, the "storm horn" for these pirate ships, even for the class five warships, is just like a decadent existence!

Even without the help of the "endeavor", Elvin is confident that he will kill them all!www.novelhall.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
