When Wang Rulong returned to the deck, the fog on the sea also disappeared, and the field of vision suddenly became better. All warships fighting ten kilometers away could be seen at a glance.
With smoke rising from the sea, the coast guard warships, which had already taken the leeward position in advance, blocked all the Spanish galleons in the strait and began the final killing spree.
It seems that there is a crushing situation everywhere except for the Kaiyuan, which has to face five enemy ships alone.
"Commander, we are going to have a fierce battle!" Mei Ling put on a half-body steel plate armor with a neck guard, and replaced the hat helmet with a phoenix-winged helmet that can provide better defense.
"Hahaha, Xiaomei, how about I humiliate you today and become a navigator for me?" Wang Rulong's condition is surprisingly good, and he has the same demeanor as a dragon and a tiger.
"As long as you don't call me Xiaomei, everything is easy to discuss." Mei Ling said depressedly.
"Okay Xiaomei." Lao Wang nodded.
"Damn" Mei Ling rolled his eyes and announced loudly: "The commander-in-chief takes over the Kaiyuan!"
"Yes!" More than 400 officers and soldiers heard the order, and their morale was greatly boosted. It’s not that Mei Ling is incompetent, but Wang Rulong is the soul of a coast guard!
Newly recruited police officers may not yet know the meaning of this order. But the more veterans they are, the more excited they are. They know that this is the commander-in-chief’s final performance!
You must show the highest level to be worthy of the commander-in-chief’s final battle!
Chu Liuxiang, the gunnery sergeant of the Kaiyuan, is no exception. This model of the Coast Guard has not fired guns in person for many years. Many young people only know that he is the first sergeant of the Coast Guard. Many police officers take the initiative when they see him. Salute, what a great veteran.
But they didn’t know that he was also the famous Coast Guard Artillery King back then.
Chu Liuxiangke has been working hard silently. After studying hard in the artillery major at the Coast Guard School, he regained the title of the first long-distance shooter!
And now not only can he fire the gun accurately himself, he can also lead others to fire the gun accurately together. He can command the entire artillery deck of the Kaiyuan!
"Sergeant Chu Liuxiang!" At this time, the messenger wearing red sleeve bands shouted loudly at the hatch with a copper trumpet: "The commander-in-chief ordered you to shoot the enemy ship in the nine o'clock direction. If you can shoot it within one thousand meters, If you beat it to paralysis, I will reward you with a plaque titled 'God of Guns'!"
Amidst the laughter of several surveyors and gunners, Chu Liuxiang responded loudly: "Commander-in-Chief, please rest assured and promise to complete the mission!"
As he said that, he turned around and shouted: "What are you doing? You are just standing there in a daze!"
“Hey, hey.” Several surveyors quickly started doing the surveying work themselves.
With the development of coast guard gunnery, the role of surveyors has become more and more important. Their task is to determine the target's position and distance at any time, as well as the impact point after shooting.
The orientation is very simple and can be measured directly using the steering wheel.
Distance is more troublesome. The thumb distance measurement method commonly taught by gunnery instructors is convenient, but it is not accurate enough and relies too much on experience. So Xishan Island Optical Research Institute developed a one-meter rangefinder for them.
By relying on this thing and supplemented by simple trigonometric functions, the target distance can be quickly determined, which greatly improves the reaction speed and observation accuracy of the artillery team, and is very popular among coast police and soldiers. However, the one-meter rangefinder is classified as a special-level controlled material, and is only equipped with four on battleships and two on cruisers. They are recovered as soon as they land and are kept under the unified custody of the equipment department and are never allowed to leak out.
With the help of instruments, the surveyors quickly calibrated the orientation and distance of the enemy ship, and then put the parameters into the pre-made shooting table to get the specific shooting parameters.
However, whether you can hit or not still depends on luck. There is no such thing as a perfect shot. The significance of these observations and calculations is to improve the hit rate.
Without these technologies, the hit rate of artillery at more than one thousand meters approaches zero. With these technologies, the hit rate on fixed targets can be half, and the hit rate on moving targets can be 10 to 20%. If you think the hit rate is not high, then be smarter and fire as many shots as possible. The number of hits naturally went up.
In addition, experienced or talented gunners can also significantly improve the hit rate.
For example, Chu Liuxiang, through studying at the Coast Guard School, he already knows why he is more accurate than others in sex. It turns out that not only does he have excellent eyesight, but he also has a strong three-dimensional sense of things. This talent of 'physical awareness' allows him to innately know how to send the damn cannonball to the target location.
Of course, you have to be familiar with the characteristics of each gun and know the performance of different amounts of propellant. It’s no wonder that the gunner’s income is high, because not only is it dangerous, but it also requires?
Wang Rulong pondered for a moment, but ignored the San Felipe and ordered to continue turning around to the stern of the San Lorenzo.
Meiling asked in confusion: "Commander-in-Chief, why don't you care about the red-haired ghost's flagship?"
"Xiaomei, remember, I must always be the leader on the battlefield and cannot be led by the enemy." Wang Rulong said calmly: "The red-haired ghost's flagship is coming for us, will it turn around and leave just because we ignore it? ?”
"That won't happen." Mei Ling suddenly said: "Do they still have ideas?"
"It's hard to say." Wang Rulong pointed to another thousand-ton Galen ship, the Queen Isabella, and said, "But don't you think its location is awkward?"
"It's true! Why did it go astray?" Mei Ling thought for a moment, slapped his forehead and said: "I understand! Once we rush to the flagship, it can easily attach to our stern from the upwind port."
"That's right." Wang Rulong nodded and said, "You can't touch the tiger's butt. We can't let them succeed."
“As he spoke, he laughed ferociously and said, “Let them come to us!” (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
