Chapter 1374 Sneak Attack on Kuwait Port (Third Change, Please Subscribe)

"He, how dare they..."

As the commander of the fleet, Makarov, facing the gunfire rising in the distance, had only one thought in his mind-the British are crazy!

In the next moment, a gleam of joy flashed in his heart.

"we won!"

"what?"

"We won the war!"

In Makarov's view, with the firing of the British, the Ming Empire will definitely be involved. The Ming Empire will never tolerate the British bombarding their ports. This is a humiliation to the Ming Empire!
"Even though we will die, ... Russia will win!"

Makarov stood up straight and said loudly.

"Gentlemen, let's go all out. Before we die, teach the British a lesson and let them know that we... the Russians are also brave on this sea!"

"Ugh!"

In the sound of the broadcast and the rumbling of the guns, the Russian sailors shouted one after another. They cheered and rushed to the gun positions. When the gunners were loading the bombs, the boiler soldiers lit the boilers to pressurize the boilers...

It was such a raid that the Russians didn't even light all the boilers!Facing the surprise attack of the British army, they could only be beaten passively.

……

The surface of the sea was suddenly enveloped by dozens of huge flames rising one after another, and six battleships of the Royal Navy led by the battleship "Reputation" opened fire.

For a moment, the sea was filled with the roar of cannons over twelve inches.

Accompanied by a salvo, the bridge gunnery officer lowered his hands covering his ears. Captain Brenda looked in awe at the flames that burst out from the [-]-inch twin-mounted Russian ship during the salvo. The shock wave created a large ripple on the sea surface.

However, Captain Brenda's doom was on the shell. At the moment the shell was fired, he pressed the stopwatch and started counting. Beside him, the observer observed the enemy ship through the scope.

Ten seconds later, the silent harbor suddenly boiled!
The sound of guns rumbled, bullets rained, and countless tall water jets splashed around the warships parked in the bay.

"Near miss, left..."

While observing the Russian warship with a telescope, Captain Brenda quickly reported the data one by one, while the correspondent on the side quickly passed the parameters by phone.

The gunners in the turret immediately adjusted the shooting parameters, and then fired at the Russians again.

A series of bright white water columns with orange rays at the bottom soared into the sky above the sea, and then there was a faint thunderous roar.

Suddenly, in the white water column, the "Sevastopol" battleship rose and released a large group of fiery explosion flames.

In just the second round of salvo, one shell accurately hit the "Sevastopol",
This fully demonstrates the excellent gunnery of the Royal Navy.

However, the gunnery is excellent. At this time, the highly sensitive picric acid explosive is constantly exerting its detonation effect in the violent explosion. Even if the shock wave generated by the explosion on the water surface next to the hull will still collide with the hull, Destroys the armor of the hull.

Shrouded in gunfire and flames, the "Sevastopol" and "Peterpavlovsk" could only keep swaying in the waves formed by the dense rain of bullets. However, the Russian sailors on board did not suffer from this. Fearing, they immediately launched a counterattack as soon as they were attacked. Although their warships were constantly being hit, they still kept loading shells for the naval guns. They spewed shells at the maximum rate of fire towards the British fleet, and the flames and smoke from the shells hitting the battleship turned the entire bay into black.

Black smoke billowed from the bay.

Although the British capped armor-piercing bombs were of average quality, the high-explosive bombs still fully demonstrated their power. The high temperature generated by the high-explosive bombs even ignited the deck made of oak. After the wooden deck was continuously hit by shells and ignited For a while, flames were everywhere on the warship, and some flames even burned into the cabin.

In the bay, the warships that were moving slowly were completely enveloped in flames. In the blood and fire, the sailors were fighting tenaciously there. Although the Russian army was at an absolute disadvantage, they were still fighting tenaciously and heading towards Drive out of the harbor.

This is not to protect the cities of friendly countries, but because... unless they want to be beaten passively, they should stop in the harbor.They could only endure the baptism of artillery fire and rush out of the port in order to avoid the artillery fire by maneuvering on the wide sea, but now, they can only be beaten passively.

Even like a target.

But even if it was a target, they still wanted to struggle. The leading battleship "Sevastopol" struggled a little bit and drove out of the port. While it was driving, Fisher also commanded the fleet to approach it.

As the distance got closer, the hit rate of the shells became higher. Almost every salvo had several shells accurately hitting the Russian ship.

When the distance was shortened to 8 kilometers, the British sailors were able to see several black clouds of smoke constantly blooming from the bow and midship of the Russian battleship. The British sailors on the bridge couldn't help cheering, cheering loudly for the gunners.

"Use armor-piercing rounds!"

Now it has finally reached the distance where the armor-piercing power can be fully utilized.

When Fischer ordered the ammunition replacement, the distance between the "Reputation" and the "Sevastopol" was less than 500 meters, and the four twin 14-inch main guns pointed flatly at the "Sevastopol". Topol's wrecked fleet.

Suddenly, in the next instant, the eight guns of the battleship "Prestige" fired a salvo at the "Sevastopol".Eight heavy-duty armor-piercing projectiles weighing 1590 pounds penetrated into the hull of the "Sevastopol" at an almost vertical angle of fire. Although the capped armor-piercing projectiles plagiarized by the British from Ming Dynasty were of average technology, they discovered the "heavy projectiles" Thinking, the same 356mm naval gun shell weighs 1590 pounds, which is 356 kg heavier than the Imperial Navy's 700mm naval gun shell, and theoretically has a stronger armor-piercing capability.

At a distance of less than 7000 meters, its power was fully displayed. The roaring shells only hit the target within a few seconds. Although two of them were missed, there were still as many as six shells that directly hit Hit the battleship "Sevastopol" and directly penetrated the main armor of the battleship.

Two shells directly hit the rear of the midship, one of them smashed through the boiler room obliquely, the armor-piercing shell directly penetrated the boiler, and then exploded in the boiler room. The violent explosion directly destroyed two At the moment of the explosion, the high-temperature steam roared and swept the entire boiler cabin with the shock wave of the explosion. The high-temperature steam immediately created a death storm. The steam pipe exploded instantly, and the scalding boiling water and high-temperature steam filled the entire cabin. The people in the cabin didn't even react quickly, they were all steamed on the spot.

At this moment, the steam emitted through the ventilation pipe even had a strong smell of meat, but at this time, no one would drool over it.

The deadliest blow was when a shell hit the ammunition depot behind the No. 3 turret. The moment the shell exploded, it directly detonated hundreds of 14-inch shells in the ammunition depot...
