Chapter 142 Mid-Autumn Moon in the Military Harbor, Japanese people miss their hometown

The live-fire exercise of the Shang-class Overlord warship lasted for nearly an hour.

From launching the attack to the end, the Overlord retraces three times a total of 500 steps, 800 steps, and 1,200 steps away from the target ship.

The eight thunderbolt two-type guns were fired three times on the left and right sides, and the head and tail guns were each bombarded six times, totaling sixty times.

According to the summary statistics of the school gunner and the watchman, the target ship was shot about 17 times, with a hit rate of nearly 30%.

In fact, when the first time the eight cannons on the side of the Overlord broke the main mast of the target ship.

Most of the paddle wheel chambers and paddle chambers of the target ships were severely damaged and lost most of their mobility.

In actual combat, there is no need to shell the target ship again, but because of the exercise, Mi Fang insisted on completing three rounds before ending the exercise.

"In this exercise, the shooting rate of 500 steps was more than half, which was significantly higher than the 800 steps and 1,200 steps, but it was much lower than the land hit rate."

Gao Jin reported the bombardment situation truthfully: "The accuracy of the shelling depends on the distance and size of the target. Pay special attention to the ups and downs of the waves at sea. Of course, these can be improved through enhanced training."

Mi Fang nodded slightly. Through the telescope, he had already seen the shelling effect. Compared with the crossbows of Xia-class warships, the destructive power of the Thunderbolt II artillery can be said to be one against ten.

Zhang Cheng smiled and suggested: "Being good at work is hard and hard, and since Wen Zhong has confidence, let him practice well."

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

"If you want to defeat all opponents, you can only train more and train live on the ground all-weather. Remember: the strong ones are fighting!"

Before crossing, Liu Bei had seen the training video of the Eagle Sauce aircraft carrier still insisting on taking off and landing in the stormy storm. The comments below the video are all the words "serving".

Gao Jin was surprised and happy and asked hurriedly, "Then let's practice once a month?"

Mi Fang laughed and said, "Don't be lazy, at least once every ten days. Well, as for how to practice, it's your business, I only look at the effect."

Gao Jin was overjoyed, nodded repeatedly, and patted his chest to promise: "I will obey the order! General Xie! Governor Xie Mi!"

The Ugly King, escorted by the Xia-class warship, returned to Kuaiji Military Port, and the Zhuque and Chang'an arrived close to observe.

Splashing fragments of target ships are scattered on the water near the hull.

The mast of the target ship was broken, and the ship's side, deck and cabin were covered with explosive bullet holes.

The sea water filled all the cabins, and the target ship that was too ragged and abandoned by the Yongzhou navy was about to sink.

Everyone naturally thinks of the miserable scene of the dead and wounded pillow flying with flesh and blood in their hearts, and draws a nearly consistent view.

Any enemy who encounters the Overlord at sea will have to wait for being sunk unless they surrender.

Gan Ning thought for a long time and finally said: "The Bawang has a deep draft, and the cannon alone is more than 20,000 kilograms. With the ammunition reserve, it will be less than 30,000 kilograms. If the Changan is lighter, it is faster than them."

Ji Ling thought that this was the case and asked tentatively: "You mean, can you launch a sneak attack and then escape?"

Gan Ning shook his head decisively: "Unless all eighteen artillery are destroyed, the shooting rate of the artillery within a thousand steps will be extremely high."

Ji Ling understood that when watching the Overlord exercise just now, the shooting rate was not high.

This means that only after this distance can one successfully escape.

However, even if the Xia-class warship is light, it will take at least one quarter of an hour to set a distance of one thousand steps from the Overlord.

If the Overlord is in pursuit, 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 escape after a sneak attack by Xia-class warships is basically eliminated.

At the same time, a debate broke out on the Suzaku.

Xiahou Yuan was not very familiar with water war, but he suggested that he could attack the Overlord in a fire.

Cao Ang shook his head and said it was unlikely.

As far as he knows, as the flagship, the Overlord will follow at least two Xia-class warships and six supply ships every time they leave the port for missions.

What ship can withstand the concentrated fire of eighteen artillery and more than ten crossbows?

It is estimated that within three hundred steps, it is the absolute penalty area of ​​the Overlord. Even if the speedboat luckily gets in, it will definitely be intercepted by the frigate.

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

Cao Wan said, "I'll just say, I'll still build the Overlord. This name sounds so majestic! Brother, what's the name of our first Shang-class warship?"

Since ancient times, it has been incorrect.

Therefore, naming is very particular.

For example, the Royal Navy named the warship after the place name, and the Yizhou Navy named it after the fantasy beast.

The pioneer of the navy, the Yongzhou Navy, marked the grade of ships by age, and the name of the warship is more inclined to the name of the human being.

Summer-class warships are commonly known as Challenger, Adventurer, etc.

Shang-class warships used the title of a powerful general, and at least the first one used the title of Xiang Yu, which was really worthy of its name.

As for the Japanese Navy, the "Sunrise East" used by the "Sunrise in the East" has the attributes of showing its hometown.

At least, the Japanese sailors, including Abe, are very satisfied with this name.

Many sailors even take the initiative to tattoo the big "Sun" on their arms.

Regarding her sister's optimistic spirit, Cao Ang said patiently: "I have used all the divine beasts in the four directions. What do you think will be better to use?"

"Well, cranes, no, cranes dance, cranes dance gracefully, how about it?"

Cai He was shocked and almost cut off his not-too-long beard.

Damn, if I had sat on this feminine flagship, would I be laughed at to death by Gan Xi?

"Uh, can the name be more powerful?"

Cao Wan glanced at Governor Cai and probably guessed the other party's intentions, disliked the "Hewu" not loud enough.

After thinking about it, a string of names burst out: "Giankun, Tiangou, Qiguo, Griffin, can you succeed?"

In addition to reading poetry and books, Cao Ang also had a lot of knowledge and ambitions, so he understood that most of the divine beasts his sister mentioned came from the "Shan Hai Jing".

Let’s not talk about the last three, the first “Jiu Kun” is OK, whether literally or in terms of connotation.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"Ju Kun, it's pretty good! According to this idea, Awan thinks about a few more times when she has time."

"Really? You have to think about it carefully."

In order to make the eldest lady happy, Cai He asked, "Miss, Ju Kun, what does it mean?"

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

"You know about Zhuangzi's "Xiaoyaoyou"? 'There is a fish in Beiming, whose name is Kun. Kun is so big that it is thousands of miles away'. The giant Kun is the largest fish in the world, do you understand?"

After blinking, Cai He suddenly realized and said, "Oh, the big fish thousands of miles away are very powerful!"

"Hey, I chose it specifically, how can it not be powerful?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Awan is powerful. When the 'Giant Kun Ship' is built, Awan must be the leader of the launch!"

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

"How can I do it? Don't worry!"

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

In the military port lined with masts, on the Oriental, the Japanese sailors far away from their hometown were tasting sweet mooncakes while understanding the significance of the Han Festival.

Someone started singing at some point.

Gradually, more and more Japanese people joined the chorus.

"Chasing the mountain,

Small croaker fishing for the river,

Dream today tour,

Forget the old man..." (Note 1)

I don’t know how long it took, but someone suddenly informed Abei: the chief manager requested to board the ship.

Oh no!
