Big Ear Thief Selling Straw Sandals

Chapter 142

The live-fire exercise of the Shang-class Bawang battleship lasted for nearly an hour.

From the start of the attack to the end, the Bawang turned back three times in total at 1000 steps, [-] steps, and [-] [-] steps from the target ship.

The eight Leigong-[-] guns on the left and right sides fired three times, and the bow and stern guns fired six times each, a total of [-] times.

According to the summary statistics of the school gunner and lookout hand Jia Gaojin, the target ship was shot about [-] times, and the hit rate was close to [-]%.

In fact, the eight cannons on Bawang's side had already smashed the main mast of the target ship during the first return.

Most of the paddle wheel room and paddle room of the target ship were also severely damaged, losing most of their mobility.

In actual combat, there is no need to bombard the target ship, but because of the drill, Mi Fang insisted on completing three rounds before terminating the drill.

"In this exercise, the hit rate of 1000 steps was more than half, which was significantly higher than that of [-] steps and [-] steps, but it was much lower than the hit rate on land."

Gao Jin truthfully reported the bombardment situation: "The accuracy of shelling depends on the distance of the target. At sea, we must pay special attention to the undulations of the waves. Of course, these can be improved through strengthening training."

Mi Fang nodded slightly. Through the binoculars, he had already seen the effect of the shelling. Compared with the ballista of the Xia-class battleship, the destructive power of the Leigong II artillery can be said to be one against ten.

Zhang Cheng suggested with a smile: "Proficiency lies in diligence and leisure. Since Wen Zhong is confident, let him practice hard."

Mi Fang also agreed. When he accepted the appointment, Liu Bei had only one request for him: to build the strongest fleet in the world.

"If you want to defeat all opponents, you can only train more, and train with live ammunition around the clock. Remember: the strong are fighting!"

Before crossing, Liu Bei once watched the training video of the Yingjiang aircraft carrier in the stormy sea, and the carrier-based aircraft still insisted on taking off and landing. The comments below the video were all "convinced".

Gao Jin was both surprised and delighted, and hurriedly asked: "Then shall we practice once a month?"

Mi Fang laughed, and said: "Don't try to be lazy, at least come here once every ten days. Well, as for how to practice, it's up to you, I just look at the effect."

Gao Jin was overjoyed, nodded again and again, and patted his chest to promise: "The general will obey! Thank you, Chief Manager! Thank you, Commander Mi!"

The Bawang, escorted by the Xia-class battleship, returned to the Kuaiji military port, and the Suzaku and Chang'an came to observe.

On the surface of the water near the hull, fragments of the target ship were scattered.

The mast of the target ship was broken, and the sides, decks, and cabins of the ship were covered with burst bullet holes.

The seawater flooded all the cabins, and the target ship, which was too dilapidated and abandoned by the Yongzhou navy, was about to sink.

In everyone's mind, it is natural to think of the tragic scene of death and injury, and come to a nearly unanimous opinion.

Any enemy encountering Bawang at sea can only wait to be sunk unless they surrender.

Gan Ning thought hard for a long time, and finally said: "The Bawang has a deep draft, and the cannon alone weighs more than 2 catties. Plus the ammunition reserves, let's say at least [-] catties. The Chang'an is faster than them with light equipment."

Ji Ling thought that this was really the case, and asked tentatively, "What do you mean, launch a sneak attack and then escape?"

Gan Ning shook his head resolutely: "Unless all eighteen cannons are destroyed, the cannons will have a very high hit rate within a thousand steps."

Ji Ling understood that when he watched the Bawang exercise just now, the hit rate was not high when shelling at a distance of 1000 or [-] steps.

This means that only by exceeding this distance can a successful escape be possible.

However, even if the Xia-class warship is lightly armed, it will take at least a quarter of an hour to keep a distance of a thousand steps from the Bawang.

If Bawang is in pursuit state, it will take longer.

Each cannon on the Overlord can fire at least five to six shells within a quarter of an hour.

To sum up, the possibility of the Xia-class battleship escaping after the sneak attack was basically eliminated.

On the Suzaku, at the same time, there was an argument.

Xia Houyuan was not very familiar with water warfare, but he suggested that he could attack the Bawang with fire.

Cao Ang shook his head, expressing that it was unlikely.

As far as he knew, as the flagship, Bawang would be accompanied by at least two Xia-class warships and six supply ships every time it went out to carry out missions.

What kind of ship can withstand the concentrated fire of eighteen cannons and more than ten ballistas?
It is estimated that within [-] steps, the Bawang is absolutely forbidden. Even if the speedboat gets in by chance, it will definitely be intercepted by the escort ships.

Cai He Wangyang sighed: With the existing ships of the Yizhou Navy, it is difficult to pose a real threat to the Bawang.

Cao Wan said: "Let me just say, we still want to build the Overlord. The name sounds impressive! Brother, what do you think is the name of our first Shang-class warship?"

Since ancient times, the name is not right and the words are not right.

Therefore, naming is very particular.

For example, the Royal Navy named warships after places, and the Yizhou Navy named them after fantasy beasts.

As for the pioneers of the navy, the Yongzhou Navy marked the rank of the ships by the age, and the names of the battleships were more biased towards personal names.

Xia-class warships use generic terms, such as Challenger, Adventurer, and so on.

Shang-class warships use the title of fierce general, at least the first one uses the title of Xiang Yu, which is really worthy of the name.

As for the Dongying navy, the "sunrise east" used has the attribute of showing its hometown.

At least the Japanese sailors, including Abbe, were very satisfied with this name.

Many sailors even took the initiative to tattoo a big "日" on their arms.

Regarding the younger sister's optimism, Cao Ang said patiently, "I have used all four azimuth beasts, so what do you think should be used?"

"Well, the crane, no, the crane dance, the crane is dancing, how about it?"

Cai He was so excited that he almost cut off his not-so-long beard.

What the hell, if I go out on this feminine flagship, will I be laughed at by the thief?
"Uh, can the name be more powerful?"

Cao Wan glanced at Dudu Cai, probably guessing the other party's intentions, and disliked that the "Crane Dance" was not loud enough.

After thinking about it, a series of names burst out: "Giant Kun, Tiangou, Qiqiong, Griffin, is it?"

In addition to reading poetry and books, Cao Ang also dabbles in anecdotes and anecdotes, so he understands that most of the mythical beasts mentioned by his sister come from "Shan Hai Jing".

Leaving aside the latter three, the first "giant kun" is not bad in both literal and connotative sense.

"Ju Kun, it's not bad! According to this line of thinking, A Wan will think about a few more when she has time."

"Really? Then you have to think about it."

In order to make the eldest lady happy, Cai He asked: "Miss, Ju Kun, what do you mean?"

Sure enough, Cao Wan enthusiastically popularized science for the other party.

"You know Zhuangzi's "Xiaoyaoyou"? 'There is a fish in the North, and its name is Kun, and the size of the Kun is unknown for thousands of miles'. The giant Kun is the biggest fish in the world, understand?"

Blinking his eyes, Cai He suddenly realized: "Oh, a big fish thousands of miles away, it's amazing!"

"Hey, I chose it on purpose, can it not be amazing?"

"Yes, yes, it is Awan who is powerful. When the 'giant kun ship' is built, Awan must preside over the launch!"

Cao Wan was still looking forward to being able to preside over the launch of the giant ship, and immediately asked: "Ha, Captain Cai is telling the truth? You won't lie, right?"

"How can it be, don't worry!"

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon rises above the sea.

In the military port lined with masts, on the Sunrise Dongfang, the Japanese sailors who were far away from their hometown tasted sweet mooncakes while learning about the meaning of Han Chinese festivals.

At some point, someone sang.

Gradually, more and more Japanese people joined the chorus.

"兎追ひししの山,

Small fish fishing りししの川,

Dream は今も养りりて,
忘れ不き古郷” (Note 1)

After an unknown amount of time, someone suddenly notified Abbe that the chief executive had requested to board the ship.

Oops!
