Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 704 Anti-ship infantry (please subscribe!)
On the deck of each speedboat, there were [-] shirtless, steel-framed, muscular men shaking their oars in order with the sound of a low chant.

The horsemen of these sea merchants have not lost the style of pirates back then, at least the speed of rowing is so fast that they can fly.

In addition to the horsemen of these maritime merchants, there were two Ming soldiers squatting on the bow of each speedboat.

They belong to the Ming Marine Corps. After this battle, they will leave their name in the history books of Europa: anti-ship infantry.

At the forefront is the captain of the Marine Corps, who is from Xinhui, Guangdong.

Because of Xinhui's identity, even though he graduated from Daming Imperial Military Academy, he was not reused.

Because of Li Dingguo's incident, Zhu Kezang didn't like Xinhui.

And today's night attack is an opportunity for the leader of the Xinhui team to stand up and counterattack!

According to the task assigned to him by his superiors, the twelve Malayan speedboats he led came to take the lead tonight.

His goal was to break through the defense line laid out by the Eight-Power Allied Forces fleet at the entrance of the Great Strait, and provide a channel for the subsequent armed merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty and Malayan speedboats to attack.

I had no choice but to lay the groundwork, not to mention getting promoted and getting rich, at least being in the navy can make everyone look at the new members with admiration.

Now that the situation in Huaxia is stable, the Xinhui people can't be held back because of Li Dingguo's incident. They can also contribute to Daming!
Just when he was thinking about how to revive the reputation of Xinhui members, he suddenly discovered the enemy's defense line.

The fleet of the Eight-Power Allied Forces robbed some nearby fishing boats, made some wooden rafts, and connected them together with ropes to form a line of defense for fishing boat rafts.

Except for the torches, there was no one on these fishing boats, because their sailors were hiding in the guard galleys behind.

The strength of these galleys should not be underestimated. They are equipped with Franco cannons with slender barrels and can quickly reload ammunition. Each ship has at least fifteen or more.

The only weapon of Daming's maritime speedboat is in the hands of the Marine Corps.

The captain of the Marine Corps was full of confidence, "Brothers! Put on the oars and charge up! After returning, the bounty will be doubled!"

"Order!"

Eighteen "Popeyes" worked together, and the speed of the speedboat rose immediately.

The pointed bow broke through the waves and rushed towards the fishing boat defense line formed by the Eight-Nation Allied Forces.

"Captain, do you want to light a torch now?"

asked the second-in-command on board.

The reason for lighting the torch is because they brought a bottle of fierce fire oil.

But it's not their secret weapon.

According to the plan, the task of the Marine Corps is to clear obstacles for the subsequent fleet.
When you meet iron chains, burn iron chains, when you meet pontoon bridges, burn pontoon bridges, and when you meet serial boats, you burn serial boats.

So these twelve speedboats carried a lot of burning oil bottles!

"No hurry, let's kill that galley first!"

If you want to do it, you can do it big. If it is meaningless to simply burn the defense line of the fishing boat, the western-style galley is the target of the Marine Corps squad leader.

At this time, the squad leader had already squatted down, holding a rope tightly with one hand, and firmly grasping an iron fist rocket with the other hand!

The Ming Dynasty General Administration of Manufacturing called it: the shipbreaker carried rockets on his shoulders.

The rocket with this tall name looks very similar to the Tekken anti-tank rocket of later generations.

The Iron Fist anti-tank rocket launcher is a simple and practical weapon designed by the German army in the late World War II under the constraints of resources and financial constraints.

Its overall shape is very simple, like an enlarged version of a grenade, and its manufacturing cost has been well controlled, and the materials used in the entire bazooka are all low-priced.

Just when the team leader was about to launch the shipbreaker, there was a sudden "bang", and their speedboat had slammed into the eight-nation coalition's fishing boat defense line.

On the surface of the sea, the waves rolled over due to the impact!

Some fishing boats were directly knocked over, and their speedboats also suffered heavy losses. They had no protection at all, and the bows of the boats were smashed directly.

And the whole hull was stuck in the wooden raft next to it.

Splashes of water danced together with pieces of wood, and the Ming "Popeye" on the speedboat jumped into the water one after another, and the sea surface was like dumpling.

However, the small captain of the Ming Marine Corps and his deputy did not dive into the water.

Their only goal is to approach and destroy the enemy's galleys.

The two of them clung to a rope at the bow of the speedboat, trying to keep themselves from falling into the water.

And the fuel oil bottle on the speedboat has been smashed, and the viscous fuel oil flows out, a little floating on the sea surface, and some of it is poured on the enemy's wooden rafts, and it only takes a fire to ignite them .

"Jump with me!"

The captain let out a roar, held the shipbreaker with one hand, and let go of the rope with the other. Then he kicked his legs, and the whole person jumped high, and jumped onto the wooden raft not far away.

Then, carrying the baby rocket, he spread his feet and ran on the rickety wooden raft.

Boom!

There was a loud noise, and it turned out that the western galley had spotted them.

The galley belonged to the Dutch East India Company, and they fired a few shots in the direction of the speedboat.

It's a pity that all the "Popeye" on the ship ran away, which made me feel lonely.

On the contrary, the hot projectile rubbed sparks on the hull of the wooden boat, igniting the spilled fire oil.

With the help of the raging fire from the fierce oil, the squad leader of the Ming Marine Corps has a clearer view. According to his estimation, it is now only thirty or forty steps away from the galley, and it is entirely on the shoulders of the shipbreaker to carry individual rockets. within range of the bullet.

Must launch now!
Because he has now entered the coverage of the enemy's firepower, whether it is an arquebus or the enemy's Francois machine gun, as long as he is unlucky, he will be shot and die at any time.

He didn't want to be stationed in the Martyrs' Shrine so soon!

Thinking of this, the team leader tore off the yellow phosphorus cable at the tail of the Iron Fist rocket launcher, then carried the rocket launcher on his shoulders, aimed it at the western-style galley warship, and finally tore off the yellow phosphorus cable at the head of the rocket launcher. search.

The deputy next to him is doing the same.

"Sir. Two enemy infantry are approaching!"

Sailors from the Dutch East India Company have already discovered two marines carrying a rocket launcher.

The captain of the galley Dutch Fly thought he had misheard the word infantry.

"Infantry? My God, are you kidding me?"

"Sir, infantry indeed!"

"Hahahahaha!"

"I took a look, and it's not a warship of the Ming Navy at all. I guess it's the ships of those Malacca pirates!"

"It's funny how they sent infantry to deal with the warships, these pirates are crazy!

The captain of the Dutch Fly thought it was so absurd that he laughed out loud.

Originally thought that the Ming army was coming for a surprise attack, but unexpectedly a group of "stupid" pirates came.

At this time, the Dutch captain also found that his defense line was on fire!

"Damn!"
