Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

C2762 A bloody French counterattack

The situation on the battlefield drastically changed. The Zhiyuan Warship that was showing off its might a moment ago had now turned into a toothless tiger. A 210-caliber naval gun was the sharpest spear in the distance, and a four-and-a-half inch metal armor was his toughest shield.

Now that the spear had been broken and the shield was riddled with holes, the French Army, which had been sulking for the whole night, could finally be proud of itself.

"Collection... Set of Units... Where's our flag? "Stand up!"

"Artillery..." I need artillery... There's one surviving cannon, and two boxes of ammunition! "

"What about heavy machine guns? Firepower Suppression... Damn it, these cannons have finally exploded. Now it's all up to us! "

Boom! Boom! Boom! The cannons that survived on the Spic Island began to bombard the Zhiyuan Warship one after another. These small caliber field gun would obviously tickle and scratch the armor far away, but they were effective against the Chinese soldier on the deck.

Without the help of the 210 naval gun's firepower, the remaining small caliber rapid fire gun and heavy machine guns were simply unable to withstand the onslaught from the 30,000 army and the more than twenty thousand warships.

Under the bombardment, the corpses on the Zhiyuan Warship's deck were lying all over the place. In a short twenty minutes of mutual bombardment, the number of people sacrificed had exceeded the number of people who had died in the battle at sea.

At this time, Xiang Ying also came down from the armoured command tower. While he was climbing up the stairs, his thigh was cut open by the bullet fragments, and his pants was dyed red with blood.

However, as if he did not feel any pain, he still firmly commanded the battle on the deck!

Boom … A cannonball exploded fifteen meters away from Xiang Ying. The shock wave knocked him down, and the Gatling that was just shooting at him were smashed into pieces. The four sailors were lying in a pool of blood.

"Damn it!" Lin Zhen... Where's Lin Zhen? "

"Jin Sanshun... Where's Jin Sanshun? "

"I'm here …" Hearing Xiang Ying's summons, Jin Sanshun crawled over with a face full of blood: "Captain! Lin Zhen was already unconscious! "When the chamber was just blown up, he fainted …"

"F * ck …" Lin Zhen's left arm was cut by half a kilogram of flesh, and the blood is almost completely drained … "

Sou sou sou … The bullet flew past the two people's heads, Xiang Ying tried his best to lower his body and whispered, "How are our casualties?"

"Is there even a need to ask? "Although I haven't counted, at least half of our brothers have died!"

"Hiss …" More than two hundred brothers disappeared just like that? Xiang Ying's heart ached for his.

"It's already half past five and the sky is about to brighten …" Since Lin Zhen has already fallen, the final plan will be executed by you! "

"Me?" Jin Sanshun was immediately dumbstruck, "Can I? I am just a chief of internal affairs, I can't suppress them! "

"Even if you can't, you have to. I'll give the blood flag to you! From now on, you are the supreme officer! I must die here. After I die, you will take command of the entire ship! "

"Leave some seeds for our navy! The resistance will end at 6 o'clock, and you must take your remaining brothers and surrender! "

"I know this is the hardest mission, but someone has to do it! Every single soldier in the Navy was trained by the Chief using Real Gold and Silver.

Xiang Ying was already prepared to sacrifice himself, but he would not foolishly let the more than four hundred Zhiyuan Warship soldiers die here!

The Chinese navy still had a long way to go, and it was not easy to nurture talents, especially soldiers with actual combat experience.

The blood battle of the Zhiyuan Warship had already unleashed the might of the Chinese Navy, so the next thing to do was to preserve the vitality!

Originally, this mission was given to Lin Zhen, because Lin Zhen was a vice Captain and also the head of the Zhiyuan Warship s. His prestige was only below Xiang Ying, and it was just right for him to suppress these hot-blooded youngsters.

But he never thought that Lin Zhen would actually suffer such heavy injuries, then this difficult mission would fall on Jin Sanshun's head!

"Jin Sanshun! The enemy's bombardment will end soon. They will definitely swarm over and try to capture us alive … That will be our last chance to kill! "

"Let's finish off our ammunition storage, even if it's just a pistol bullet!"

"I will leave the last bullet for myself! When I fall, you will lead the blood flag and command the remaining surviving brothers to surrender! "

"Don't forget, every one of us is a seed of the future navy. Even an ordinary lieutenant of the Zhiyuan Warship will be able to command a battleship independently in the future!"

"Talent that understands the Navy is too precious! We can't let it all go to waste! "Let's say six, let's say six..."

Xiang Ying's eyes were filled with tears, and with that, he jumped up from the deck, "Brothers … The enemy was ready to charge. This was their last chance to open their mouths and kill! Fire off all the bullets! "

"I will make sure that the Europeans remember this massacre for a hundred years!"

"Da Da Da …" The sound of the heavy machine gun and the Mauser's rifle shooting was heard together as if someone was tearing apart numerous white cloth.

Mixed in with it were a few scattered cannons from rapid fire gun s!

Then looking at the attacking French Army in the morning light, they flocked over like ants, the rifles and machine guns shooting up at the Zhiyuan Warship's firepower, while the other soldiers stepped on the seawater to use the cover of the firepower to get closer to the Zhiyuan Warship.

The waves had already been dyed red with blood, and corpses floated along with the waves. Who knew how many sharks were waiting outside the battlefield for a feast, but the brutal killing intent of this Asura battlefield made the overlords in the sea not dare to approach it lightly.

"Engineer... Prepare Explosives... Blast the hold of this damned warship... We will enter from the bottom of the ship! "

"Look …" The fixed iron bridge over the Zhiyuan Warship's bow had already collapsed … Kill them from here! "

The French Army's eyes were bloodshot. They had been blown up for half a night and thousands of their comrades had died under the cannons of this warship. They finally found the chance to take revenge.

The army ants attacked a stranded battleship, such a foolish tactic actually appeared on the French, it was obvious that the group of French Expeditionary Force s were completely mad.

"This is using someone's life to fill in the price!" Is the French trying to prevent us from interfering? " The Duke of Newkes sighed helplessly.

It was just to guard against the British, the French Glory warships were also in an uproar, Huo Fu's subordinates had already started getting restless, many of them were anxiously questioning his command.

"Sir, are you crazy? Let our soldiers use their lives to attack a stranded warship? Can't we just surround them and urge them to surrender? "

"Please take a careful look. Look at our casualties …"

Under the siege of a group of officers, Huo Fu had no choice but to face the massacre in front of him head on!

The French Army stepped onto the waist-high seawater and approached the Zhiyuan Warship. The engineers tried to blast the explosives above their heads to break through the underground cabin of the Zhiyuan Warship, while a portion of the infantry tried to climb up through the collapsed iron bridge.

The entire rhythm of the attack was like the assault of infantry in the Middle Ages, incomparably inefficient and cruel!

The Chinese could easily shoot down the French army on the deck by pulling the trigger. The Gatling heavy machine gun kept firing continuously and bullets bounced off the pile of corpses, harvesting lives like harvesting straw.

"I beg of you …" Sir, get the Army out of here... We can surround them and not fight back! The Chinese don't have much ammunition anymore! "

"They can't move anymore!"
