Chapter 102: Breaking the Brazilian Coalition

At dawn, three small gunboats were moored in the empty military harbor in the small town of South Palmaris. Seven or eight fishing boats in the seaport docked scattered at the beach. An early fisherman sat on the fishing boat and carefully did the fishing before. ready.
After busy working for a while, the fisherman yawned and habitually glanced at the sea in front of him, but saw a small boat approaching the coast on the misty sea.
The fishermen are a little puzzled. The warships in the port have left for five or six days. The fishing boats that have gone out to sea have not yet arrived. How can there be ships returning now?
In order to determine if he was embarrassed, he stood up, rubbed his chin, and opened his eyes to look at the sea ahead.
The boat came downwind and sailed straight towards the coast. As the distance approached, the figure of the boat gradually reflected in the eyes of the fishermen. The boat became larger and larger. Two Chinese soldiers with weapons on the towering sails appeared to the fishermen. In the line of sight, behind the boat, forty or fifty ships sailing on the sea, obstructing the passage into the port.
"The pirate is here"
The fishermen were too frightened, shouted a word subconsciously, then ignored the fishing boat and jumped into the sea and swam to the shore.
The small town of South Palmaris, located about 50 kilometers east of Porto Alegre, is a seaside post in Rio Grande do Sul, serving as a warning to Porto Alegre.
There is a naval base in the port of South Palmaris, where a coast patrol fleet of seven gunboats and a police force full of three hundred people are stationed.
However, South Palmaris does not have so many troops now, because the battle ahead is tight, South Palmaris' coast patrol has been transferred to carry out most of the ships,
Half of the guards were also transferred to the front.
So now South Palmaris is the weakest force.
Brazil has experienced little war since independence, more than ten years have passed since the uprising in Rio Grande do Sul, and the defense of South Palmaris, which has long lacked war discipline, has gradually loosened. Therefore, when they discovered that a team of unknown forces appeared on the sea At that time, the other party was ready to log in.
In the middle of the fleet, Rollin Hill stood at the bow to observe the enemy's defense configuration on the shore.
The port of South Parmaris is located to the west of the town. Through the telescope, three gunboats can be observed lined up on the sea. A small defensive turret stands on each side of the port. The Brazilian garrison soldiers who spot the enemy are rushing to unload the shells. , Ready to block the offensive of the Chinese fleet.
In the fortress east of the port, a group of more than 50 soldiers are sending reinforcements towards the port.
The port turret is the only weapon that can threaten the fleet. Preventing the landing of the fleet also requires the turret's vigorous efforts, so the garrison has to transfer a small number of troops to guard the turret.
"Two turrets, three gunboats, and a fortress. The number of defenders does not exceed three hundred."
Rollin Hill summarized the strength of the South Palmaris garrison based on what was observed.
The enemy's defensive strength is obviously insufficient, and the Chinese fleet can sweep the enemy as long as the landing is successful. However, after all, Rollin Hill is not a professional naval general. Before making a final decision, he asked the neighboring Prussian adviser Hans.
After the Chinese fleet arrived in Brazil's offshore waters, the Prussian fleet completed the mission and separated from Rollin Hill and others. Before leaving, however, the Prussians left ten Prussian naval officers to serve as advisers to the Chinese fleet in accordance with the prior agreement with Li Mingyuan. Follow-up combat command of the Chinese fleet.
Captain Hans has the highest rank among the ten-member advisory group, and he also stays with Luo Linshan as the head of the advisory group to solve naval battle-related problems for Luo Linshan.
The question asked by Luo Linshan is simple, can the fleet kill the garrison of the garrison with minimal sacrifice.
In Luo Linshan's eyes, the two turrets are huge, and the dark muzzle will pose a great threat to the attacking fleet. If five or six ships are lost because of the attacking turret, some losses will be too large, so he hopes to remove from Hans Here you get a breakthrough to defeat the turret.
"General, you overestimate the power of the turrets." Hans laughed. "You see, although the two turrets are huge, the cannons obviously have a long age. I guess these two turrets are likely to be former Portuguese colonists. The remaining equipment, relying on two old-fashioned artillery pieces to support the facade, can also scare some pirates who have never seen the world before, but the real two sides fought and the role of the battery was limited. "
After Hanlin's explanation, Luo Linshan picked up the telescope again and found that it was strange. The two artillery guns were rusty, and the muzzle was irregular.
"The Brazilians are so funny, they scare us with two old antique artillery guns, brothers, ready, let them taste the power of our artillery."
Seeing the truth of the two artillery, Luo Linshan relaxed for a while and immediately issued an attack order.
After the order was issued, the fleet accelerated, and more than a dozen small boats were landed on the right, blocking the connection between the garrison and the port battery in the fort, and the remaining ships were lined up with the help of the Prussian adviser and bombarded the port battery.
"Boom boom" more than thirty warships fired successively, and the waves stirred up the command ship that Mount Luo Lin was riding on.
Luo Linshan held the bow mast and watched the battle ahead.
The first test fired, most of the shells fired fell into the sea, and the shells dropped on the shore did not cause damage to the turret, but the fierce artillery fire still hit the morale of the garrison garrison, and more than twenty Brazilian soldiers carrying the shell Under the impact of shells ~ EbookFREE.me ~ lying on the ground afraid to move, for fear of being hit by short-sighted shells.
The first bombardment was to correct the position of the turret in the port. The attack on the enemy was only morale, but there were few real casualties, but the latter was different. After roughly determining the position of the defensive turret, one round seemed to be dead. Like a whistling,
A bomb shell hit the turret, and a gap was blown out of the turret below the gun body. The scattered rocks and blasts were scattered. A dozen Brazilian soldiers standing on the turret were the first to be hit by gravel and lying on the ground. Shouting in pain.
A shell hit the turret, which instantly solved one-third of the combat power of the left turret on the port, and the surviving turret soldiers became more frightened.
After a round of test firings, the turret garrison fired back. However, even if the two solitary artillery were huge, they did not pose a threat to Chinese ships. After several firings, most of the shells fell into the water. Only one shell was lucky. Hitting the mast of a battleship behind the fleet led the battlefield to temporarily withdraw from the battlefield.
The defender's luck was not good. He just forced the Chinese fleet to withdraw from the battlefield, but he was successively hit by three shells. Two of the three shells hit the turret with little damage to the artillery, and the other shell directly Hitting the gun body, the huge impact force knocked the gun body out of a tilt, and even the cannonball in the gun body was detonated, a loud bang, the shell exploded in the gun body, the entire turret was completely destroyed, and the soldiers on the turret Almost all were overturned by the impact of the artillery self-detonation. Within ten minutes of the war, one of the turrets was killed, and the next situation was even more detrimental to the Brazilian defenders.
The Chinese team ’s artillery has no temper.
