0661 Heavy artillery landing

When they saw the two ships coming quickly, their hearts were chilling! Both ships were covered with thick sandbags on the deck! A tilted thick wooden board was also erected at the bow of the ship, which was also full of sandbags!

Especially the first ship walking in front, he obviously came to serve as a shelter for the second ship. Not only did they place inclined wooden boards and sandbags at the bow, but they also piled up sandbags on the boat building, showing that I can resist the beating, you can beat me!

Major Clyde, who was furious, also understood the current situation. He immediately ordered all artillery to start firing. Naturally, the first few rounds were not accurate, and the shells fell into the sea and splashed water columns.

But by the fourth round, the shooting was quite accurate! The fourth round of shells hit the opponent's ship, but they didn't do anything! One shell hit the deck, tearing a sack open and the nest stopped moving!

Another shell hit the sandbag on the slanted wooden board on the bow. The huge impact force was absorbed by the sandbag. The thick wooden board just shook for two times and stopped moving! The shell rolled down the deck along the inclined surface and stuck between the two sandbags. Seeing this situation, the sailors who were still careful just now began to cheer and began to lift the cannons with all their strength.

Niels and others on the castle felt depressed when they saw this situation and almost vomited a mouthful of blood! How could they destroy the other party's ship in this situation? It didn't work at all! Colonel Clyde was even more angry and shouted to let the turret continue shooting.

After several rounds of the castle artillery fired, it did hit a few shells, but all of them lost their effect without exception! Clyde had to order the cannon to transfer the target and aim at the side of the ship without sandbags to hit it. However, the other ship had only the bow of the ship towards the castle, which was difficult to hit! Moreover, the bow of the ship was still inclined, and even if the shell was hit, it was very easy to slide away and flew directly into the sea!

At this time, the first cannon on the ship had been hoisted and moved along the trestle to the beach under the cover of the three cars in front. Colonel Clyde immediately ordered all the cannons to attack the vehicles. Perhaps the vehicle was not strong and could not block the shells.

But reality tells him that shelling still has no effect on the vehicle

As a result! Major Clyde saw a shell hit the front car, but the shell was stopped by a sandbag and the car was not damaged! The only success was that ten strong men were dragged to the ground by a huge impact force, and some even fell from the pier to the water! It seemed that even if those strong men were injured, they were just skin trauma.

Seeing that their method worked, the sailors were simply ecstatic! They immediately sent signals to the distance and summoned more ships to sail.

Soon three pairs of ships came closer, and one was still a combination of covering the other. The ship stopped and the sailors began to unload the heavy artillery under the cover of sandbags. Although there were losses during this period, more than a dozen sailors were killed and injured. After paying the price of the two ships being damaged, the sailors successfully sent all the remaining six heavy artillery into the dug gun position.

Now the Netherlands know that their unlucky days are coming!

As soon as the gunners said that the guns were fixed in the gun position, they began to load with confidence and prepared to bombard the castle. This time they were instructed by Liu Pei to use eight guns to attack one gun position at the same time, hoping to increase the hit rate in this way. They were going to try it out and see how the effect was?

With the first artillery sound, a new round of artillery battle began again! This artillery battle was different! The attacker was full of confidence and determined to win! But the defense was unconfident, and even the sound of artillery seemed to be powerless! This unilateral beating was really too cowardly!

Perhaps it was Liu Pei's method that worked, or perhaps it was the newly landed gunners who were skillful in their skills. When they hit the fifth round, a shell hit the cannon position at the highest point of the castle! The whistling shells hit the edge of the turret! The whole stone was smashed to pieces! The broken stones swept across the entire turret like shotguns, and more than a dozen gunners on the turret were either dead or injured! The bottom of the round turret was filled with blood in a very short time, turning into a pool of shallow blood!

Niels and others closed their eyes in pain! They all knew that this was just the beginning. The damage to this gun position did not only mean that their gun position was destroyed, but also that it weakened the power of the castle counterattack.

There is no problem with the gun position being destroyed, and it can be repaired. The gun was not damaged, and the gun can still be fired. However, death

The gunner is an irreparable loss! At this time, the guns had neither gunglasses nor accurate ranging. Whether the gun could be shot accurately depends on the gunner's experience. There were only so many gunners in the castle of Rhelanzha, one less one dead! After the gunner was killed and injured, he could also fire the cannon with others on his head, but wherever the shell could land depends on God's will.

After knocking down a gun position, the gunners were excited! They boasted that it was their guns that hit the opponent's gun position! But it was impossible to tell who hit it! Because the eight guns were fired under unified command. This can increase the probability of the gun hitting, and can also shock the people in the castle through the huge gun sound.

Although the gunners argued with each other, their hands and feet did not stop. They adjusted the direction of the guns and pointed to another gun position. They were moving the guns, but the Dutch gunners on the opposite side were nervous! Because the distance was too far, they could not see which gun position the opponent was aiming at. So all the gunners prayed to God in their hearts: "Don't aim at me!"

But they also knew that there would definitely be someone in the cannon position who was in trouble. All they could do now was to fire guns at the other party desperately.

The artillery battle at this time was quite dull. Because the heat dissipation ability of the artillery was relatively poor, so after firing more than a dozen guns, you had to rest for a while so that the artillery could gradually cool down. Of course, you could also use a wet cloth to cover the cannon's barrel for forced cooling. However, in that case, the artillery itself would be damaged. No artillery would do this before the very crisis moment.

The dull shelling lasted for two days. All the gun positions on the castle facing the beach on the west side were knocked out. The worst was the running position at the highest point. This gun position became the target of attack after replenishing the gunner. As a result, after multiple rounds of attacks, the gun position completely collapsed. The four gunners fell from the gun position together with the heavy gun, and even the people and guns fell into distortion!
