Fifteen minutes after the battle started, the Matador flagship, the Guam General, was hit by two rounds of artillery shells from the East China Sea Fleet led by Deng Shichang. It even gloriously chose to hang a white flag and call a truce alone!
This cannot but be said to be a huge irony for the Bullfighter Fleet Ghost Guy, who had inflated his self-confidence before the war started!
Such consequences also caused great psychological pressure on the Matador Asian Squadron Ghosts.
This is what the East China Sea Fleet under the leadership of Deng Shichang, the national hero of later generations, the naval wizard, and the powerful man, displayed, a combat style that is different from others. It also reflects the strong combat style of the East China Sea Fleet!
Under the leadership of Deng Shichang, the East China Sea Fleet was worthy of the fleet flag they erected before the war began, "East China Sea Fleet~The dragon on the sea of the Chinese nation is fighting"!
Under the leadership and professors of Zhou Yu, not only Deng Shichang, but also a large number of senior officers of the Chinese Loyal and Yong Army, such as Lu Han, Ye Fu, Wei Han, Huang Feihong, Liu Yongfu, Rong Hong, etc.
These contemporary China's most outstanding military talents, management talents, etc., in later generations, they will either suffer miserably as unknown heroes, or they will be unparalleled talents who will never be able to display their lofty ambitions throughout their lives.
In this space, Zhou Yu has given everyone a gorgeous platform, and all the officers and soldiers of the Zhongyong Army have an opportunity to display their talents.
They inspire their motherland, the Chinese nation, to return to the top of the world. For this reason, they exude unparalleled, majestic and huge enthusiasm! With their existence, how far can the Chinese dragon take off?
?
Just like the unusual enthusiasm that Deng Shichang burst out at this time~~ he always has a stunning swan song!
Deng Shichang, standing on the bridge of the A3 command tower, stared with cold eyes at Matador's Earl of Guam, the acting flagship, which was getting closer and closer to his East China Sea Fleet.
No matter what kind of warship the matador came from, no matter what kind of enemy the East China Sea Fleet faced, Deng Shichang gave them the word "death"!
My own leader ~ Principal Zhou Yu, didn’t he once say that!
"Those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away they are!"
This is the famous saying that Deng Shichang believes is most suitable to his own taste, the most exciting and the most satisfying!
No matter in the past, now or in the future, anyone who is a ghost who is detrimental to the Chinese nation will receive the fiercest revenge and the most powerful blow from the Chinese loyal army!
This is not only the idea of Deng Shichang alone, but also the motto of all the commanders and fighters of the Chinese Loyal and Yong Army!
Watching the Matador's flagship, the armored ship Count of Guam, getting closer and closer, Deng Shichang decisively issued an order for the East China Sea Fleet to bombard the enemy's warship for the third time.
The East China Sea Fleet's third bombardment was even more swift and fierce!
All the warships of the East China Sea Fleet fired their guns almost at the same time.
After a slight burst of black smoke, the faint black smoke quickly dissipated with the sea breeze. Everyone stared with wide eyes, looking at their third round of shells, which would be the flagship of the Matador ~ Guam Earl
What kind of impact does the armored ship have?
The third round of shells did not disappoint the soldiers of the Zhongyong Army's East China Sea Fleet. The shells hit the sea area around the Matador flagship as usual, causing a large amount of monstrous water columns.
These water columns, just like the mood of the matador ghost at this time, are rising and falling one after another, and the waves are turbulent!
The power caused by so many shells exploding around the Matador's flagship was huge.
The huge waves they caused once buried the matador's flagship deep in the waves, as helpless as a lonely wild ghost.
And in this round of shelling, the number of shells that hit the Matador flagship ship reached a terrifying number of 23.
This is an extremely exaggerated hit rate. Not to mention the East China Sea Fleet, which has just formed an army and has only been a few years old, even the John Bull Fleet, known as the world's largest naval power, cannot achieve it so easily.
Naval battles are not only about skills and tactics, but also about military literacy. In addition, a large part of it is about luck. If you are lucky, no mountain can stop you.
The consequences of the East China Sea Fleet's third round of bombardment are good proof.
What I want to mention here is that the two Guam-class armored ships sold to Matador by John Bull are obviously different from the historical Victory...
On the Guam-class armored ship, John Bull installed a steam engine. Because of its size, the power was either too large or too high.
The Guam-class armored ship is a power equipment mainly based on sails and supplemented by steam engines. In the middle of the warship, there is a small chimney for smoke exhaust.
This time, 11 of the 23 artillery shells fired by the East China Sea Fleet were hit here, and almost all of the shells penetrated into the interior of the ship's hull, causing astonishing destructive power.
The power of the explosion caused all the superstructures in this area to be razed to the ground. The entire middle area was badly damaged by the huge impact of the explosion, and a raging fire broke out.
The fire burned so quickly that there was no time to save it.
Not talking about other parts, just the middle part can make the Matador flagship, the Count of Guam, declared to be disintegrated!
The explosion of the shell also caused the ammunition stored in the middle of the Matador warship to explode, which further led to the destruction of the enemy ship and the fire became more rapid.
Among the 23 shells that hit the enemy warship, 5 armor-piercing shells hit the main mast. The mast could withstand such a huge force. Five shells exploded almost at the same time. The consequences of this could not be
How small is it?
The main mast was torn into three pieces by the blows of five armor-piercing bombs. For a time, the explosive shrapnel, wood chips, iron pieces, etc. were flying all over the sky. The fire caused by the explosion also responded ferociously to the enemy ship.
The fire in the middle.
From a distance, you can only see the sky-high fire and thick black smoke. You can't even see the shape of the Earl of Guam's hull clearly, and the sea breeze only adds to the arrogance of the flames.
The acting commander who was standing on the main mast, the flag bearer on top, and the bullfighters in the observers were thrown down heavily. They were either smashed to pieces or turned into burning people. No one was spared.
Although the remaining 7 shells among the 23 shells that hit the hull of the Earl of Guam did not cause the consequences of the previous 16 shells, these 7 shells still made their due contribution.
.
Seven scattered shells landed on the hull of the Guam Count and on the forecastle deck. They were everywhere.
Because they fell relatively scattered, the explosion did not cause too many casualties. However, after they exploded, the fire caused was much more serious!
Originally, the Guam-class armored ship was a wooden warship with three large masts, a lot of sails, and a lot of flammable materials. What it feared most was flames. The fire caused by the explosion of 23 shells was fatal to the Earl of Guam.
.
The huge fires ignited everywhere, making it impossible for the matadors to put out the fire. Some smarter matadors desperately jumped into the sea, hoping to swim away from the warship and escape.
If someone takes the lead, everyone will dive in. No one will put out the fire, and no one will dare to stay to put out the fire.
Even so, the vast majority of matadors still fell on the deck. They were either stunned by smoke or burned by fire. Their final fate was to become fertilizer for the flames and turn into ashes.
In the flames, the ammunition that the Matador left on the warship continued to explode. The power of the explosions made the warship's fire more intense, and also caused the warship to gradually disintegrate.
After three rounds of bombardment by the East China Sea Fleet, one of the two flagships of the Matador was forced to withdraw from the battle and the other fell apart. This record is both impressive and terrifying!
The eyes of the remaining Matador Marines were full of fear. They had never seen such a powerful fleet in their entire lives. They no longer had the will to fight in their hearts. All they had was trembling, trembling deep into their souls.
!
The saddest thing is that so far, Matador has not fired a single shot at the East China Sea Fleet, not even a fart. Facing the East China Sea Fleet warships attacking from a long distance, Matador has a strong sense of powerlessness, and
Frustration.
Other than that, there are no other expectations left!
