Chapter 1057: Master Dong was scared away

But our comrades are not fools. They have already formed effective suppression. Seeing that the 76 gun has completely misfired and even the ready-to-fire shells inside have begun to explode, who would still focus on shooting at that piece of trash?

As the lines of fire began to shift, the captain of Ship 228 realized that the situation was not good, abandoned his command position and ran, shouting, "Retreat!"

It can’t be faster. Compared with our ships, guns and bullets, this ship’s speed is the slowest.

However, the worst suffered was not this ship, but the two largest "destroyers".

In the eyes of all comrades, these two are real hot commodities.

It’s big enough, famous enough, and tasty enough.

At the moment the forward commander on 6304 issued the order, the guns on 6205 and 6206 started firing.

The target was clear, which was the enemy's ships 210 and 211. Moreover, the comrades on the two gunboats had sufficient time to aim. They even gave up the mode of using radar to control automatic guns. After all, this mode could be used to attack ships, but it was not enough to attack a specific part of the ship.

At this distance, there was ample time for the comrades to simulate the attacks on the enemy thousands of times in their minds. Even though the cannons fired and the boat moved, the movement of the speedboat did not greatly affect the hit rate of the artillery on the boat.

The advantage of gunboats is that they can fire at close range, leaving the enemy no time to react. After all, at sea, this distance is a bayonet fight, and gunboats are designed to fight with bayonets. They are professionally matched.

The two double 37 guns and two double 25 guns on the gunboat fired at the same time. In order to exert all the firepower, the two boats formed a special angle with their targets and faced the enemy with their sides and rear.

In fact, if the enemy is smarter, they should know from this angle that we are here with bad intentions. If you want dignity, I can give it to you, but if you don’t want dignity, then we will help you to be dignified.

Although the caliber of these guns is not large, they directly cover the command bridges of the enemy's two large ships and several guns facing Manfu Island, suppressing their possible firepower and normal command to the greatest extent.

The enemy was not unaware of the sudden battle. When we opened fire on the 55317 beach, they had already realized the seriousness of the situation.

"Prepare to attack the warships of Mr. Dong!" The enemy leader on the 210 ship is not a fool. He knows that if we don't destroy or suppress our warships first, it would be a dream to support the beach.

Between protecting others and protecting themselves, they chose to protect themselves first.

But it was obvious that their reaction was not as fast as ours, and the speed of our boat made it impossible for them to keep up for a while.

While the enemy was still turning their guns, a torrential rain of shells from our artillery escort boats had already smashed down on them.

Suddenly, flames suddenly broke out on the enemy's artillery positions, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and there were heavy casualties.

And our two gunboats not only take care of their gun positions, but also the bridge.

The enemy ships 210 and 211 were each hit by several 25mm shells, and even the commanding personnel suffered casualties.

Fortunately for the enemy, our main purpose was only to suppress and harass their command. The largest caliber twin 37s were still pointing at the enemy's gun positions. After all, under the combat conditions at this time, the most important thing was to ensure that they posed no threat to our beachhead troops. As for the actual attack on the enemy ship itself, it was not something the gunboats had to worry about.

In this situation, there was only one double 25mm cannon assigned to the enemy's bridge, which temporarily saved the entire ship from being wiped out. After all, the power of the 25mm shells was not very great. At least on the 210 ship, the enemy chief and the captain were still alive, except for being injured.

211 was more miserable. The captain on the bridge was killed on the spot by a 25mm shell.

But for them, the final results will not actually be that different.

"Secondary guns fire back! Keep your distance, keep your distance!" The enemy commander on 210 was no longer able to care about anything else. He gave orders while hiding in the center of the ship.

His idea was simple. He would keep a distance and use the advantage of his large gun to attack our small gunboat from a long distance. In a bayonet fight, the range advantage of the guns on his ship would be reflected.

As for the secondary guns' counterattack, it mainly played the role of suppressing the harassment from our side. As the military surplus of S2, the secondary guns on his ship, no matter in terms of status or actual performance, were somewhat struggling to deal with the gunboats' concentrated fire attacks.

In theory, his idea was great, but the reality would probably be cruel - their ship's speed was less than 20 knots. Once they were caught in close range, it would be a pipe dream for them to want to distance themselves from our gunboats, which were traveling at a speed of over 30 knots.

But what made them happy was that our gunboats did not intend to engage in close combat, but instead moved further and further away amid the gunfire, actively increasing the distance. This made the captain of the 210 ship very happy: "The Dongda people were scared away by us! The Dongda people were scared away by us! Move further away! Use our main guns to teach them a lesson!"

Although the main gun in the front was hit, it is still possible to fight back, and the gun at the rear was not affected and can launch an attack on Mr. Dong normally!

For 210, it was not about running away, but about using the main gun at the rear to attack Dongdaren! At this time, they were still very confident in their ship.

Although I am not a good person, I am big...

Although I am not good at shooting, I am big...

It's easy for them to pin their hopes on a single factor, when in reality they have no idea how much shit they are.

We don't know either. We only know that to deal with the enemy, we must put in 120% of our strength, defeat them once and for all, and use whatever good things we have.

There is no need to explain the appearance of 228 ships on the beach. At this time, the focus is on these two 2800-ton "destroyers" and 700-ton "frigates".

As for the 1700-ton "destroyer", it may be on the other side to prevent us from attacking the back of the sponge island. Let's ignore it for now. Even if we give it an hour, its speed of 18 to 20 knots cannot even out of the range of anti-ship missiles.

At this time, the two enemy frigates, realizing that the battle had already started, began to turn their guns around, wanting to deal with our gunboats and "large torpedo boats" together with the destroyers. They had no interest in supporting the beachhead. In this regard, they probably comforted themselves by thinking that the distance was too far and they were afraid of accidental injuries.

In fact, our comrades had already retreated to landing craft No. 55317 at this time, using the landing craft as cover, and together with the firepower of the landing craft and boat No. 6208, they were reaping the enemies on the beach.

At this time, another force, the infantry platoon behind the small ridge of Manfu Island, heard the fighting and was about to rush out, but was stopped by the platoon leader.

"No need to go over there. We can completely eliminate the enemy over there. We just hold on here and continue to complete the fortifications. Pay attention to protecting the rocket artillery platoon and eliminate the sporadic enemies that escape." The platoon leader saw clearly through the telescope. There was no need to go over now. Although the pit here had been blown up, the fortifications had not been completed yet.

For them, the most important task is to protect the rocket launcher! Fighting a war is not as simple as swarming in when the wind is favorable and scattering when the wind is against you. Everyone has their own tasks.

Meanwhile, on the sea, the enemy was happy that our gunboats had been "scared away" and were pulling away, and they were desperately cheering up their own men on the ship: "Hurry up, hurry up, turn the guns over, and teach Master Dong a lesson!"

In fact, the situation at their gun positions was far less optimistic than they had imagined on the bridge.

Although our boat was moving away, the weapons in our hands did not stop, and we continued to fiercely greet the enemy. The enemy ships were facing our gun positions and were actually still suffering from the baptism of artillery fire. The enemy's quality was actually not as high as they thought. A considerable number of them did not even approach the gun positions. The artillery fire of the Dongda people was too fierce! Too accurate!
In fact, if they had not failed on their own, the outrageous casualty ratios in the naval battles that Gao Zhendong knew about more than ten years later would have been difficult to achieve.

The only thing the enemy was worried about at this time was the four "large torpedo boats" that seemed motionless in the distance. Although they did not have to worry about launching torpedoes at close range because they had the "large-caliber" guns on the ship to defend against them, they still felt it would be uncomfortable to respond with artillery fire if they got too close.

However, they don't have to worry about this. Although our four large escort boats are moving, they have no intention of rushing over.

To be honest, this battle made us naval comrades who were used to fighting with bayonets feel a little uncomfortable because we had never done this before. The comrades who sank the Danggui Province warships were not on these boats.

In previous training, they racked their brains and braved enemy fire and their own casualties to get closer, but now they have to keep their distance first, which makes it very difficult to maintain balance.

Although it was difficult to control, the missile boat's tactical movements did not deviate at all.

On the 6304 boat, the commander issued an order: "Once our gunboats are out of danger, each boat will be free to attack its own target!"

Each boat has already locked onto its respective target. The reason why they haven't launched missiles yet is actually for one reason - the artillery escort boat has not yet left the dangerous distance.

The Zhengxian-62 does not have an IFF device, which is a common problem with missile weapons at this time. The main reasons are that it is expensive and the combat distance of anti-ship missiles. Under normal circumstances, there is no need to consider this issue. However, at the current engagement distance of the gunboats ahead, launching missiles may pose a threat to our comrades.

"understand!"

Our gunboat had already accelerated to its maximum speed and was rapidly moving away from the enemy ship. This gave the enemy a sense of foreboding. The Dongda people had never shown such cowardice in fighting.

The enemy didn't think they could be braver than their father, the American, and could scare the University of East like this.
