"Hmph, these pirates, I originally said that I would spare their lives for the time being today. I didn't expect that they would actually come to die. Since they want to die so much, I'll fulfill their wish!”
"Order the three warships at the back of the fleet to turn around and eat these three pirate ships!”
The Japanese commander said disdainfully when he saw the pirates 'actions.
In his eyes, he didn't even care about the pirates 'ships.
After all, although the pirates 'ships were also modified commercial warships, they were completely incomparable to the commercial warships that the Japanese had carefully prepared this time in terms of size and performance!
Most of the Skull Island pirates 'ships were only a few dozen meters long, and some were only a dozen meters long. They could carry no more than a hundred people, and these ships could not even carry a few cannons.
Moreover, most of them were wooden sailboats produced decades ago. There were only a few ships, and their performance was not good at all.
However, the commercial fleet that the Japanese had built this time was all modified from medium-sized and even large-sized merchant ships!
Some of the ships were already iron-shelled merchant ships. Whether it was in terms of carrying capacity or resistance, they were many years more advanced than the ships of the Skull Island pirates!
These were simply two unequal opponents!
To put it bluntly, if the Japanese's commercial warship collided with the Skeleton Island's commercial warship.
Then, the small wooden boat on the Skeleton Island might be smashed into pieces, but the Japanese's commercial warship would not be damaged too much!
Moreover, in terms of equipment, these ships on the Skeleton Island were originally used as transport ships and were not equipped with weapons at all. Even though Tidas had been looting continuously during this period of time, in reality, most of them were only equipped with one or two machine guns. There were no real ship-borne cannons at all, and even cannons were extremely rare.
In fact, some of the merchant warships were still using the cannons from the Skeleton Island.
However, the Japanese fleet was secretly prepared by the governor of TW Island, Kobayashi Seizo. The merchant ships selected were the best, and the equipment was naturally not bad.
Even if they couldn't equip a real ship-borne cannon, there were still plenty of rear-mounted howitzers and heavy cannons. As for the machine guns, they were only used as support!
It was no exaggeration to say that the firepower of any of the Japanese's merchant warships was comparable to the combined firepower of at least four or five ships on the Skeleton Island!
In the eyes of the Japanese commander, sending three ships to deal with the three ships from the Skeleton Island was already overestimating the Skull Island pirates!
From the very beginning, this battle was a battle without any suspense!
Twelve well-prepared merchant fleets were going to deal with the four old wooden sailboats of the Skeleton Island. It was like shooting a mosquito with a cannon!
From the beginning, from the commander of the Japanese fleet to every single soldier, they did not think that they would fail!
In fact, in their eyes, they might not even need to fire a volley to deal with these four pirate ships!
……
"Kill them!"
All the pirates on the Skull Island were extremely excited at this moment. Everyone knew that rushing over would be suicide!
Everyone knew that if both sides were to clash with their battleships, they would not stand a chance at all!
Therefore, from the beginning, the captains of the three Skull Island ships made the same decision even though they didn't communicate with each other.
That was a boarding battle!
If the main cannons clashed, there was only death!
Pirates were not afraid of death. It could be said that since they chose to turn back, they were already prepared to die.
However, even if they died, they had to fight for time for Tidas. They had to die with value!
Therefore, the captains of the three Skull Island pirate ships all made the same decision. They would fight and seize the ship!
Speaking of which, this was also the fighting style that the Skull Island pirates were best at!
At the very least, before the war with the Japanese, the Skull Island pirates had basically used this method to rob the Chinese ships.
The three ships were at full speed, and all the pirates were staring ahead!
Ship No. 7! This was the ship that Tidas had named after dividing the Skull Island's ship into four fleets in order to make it easier for him to command.
A wooden sailboat!
At this moment, the No. 7 warship was moving at full speed, heading straight for one of the Japanese ships.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The sound of the Japanese cannons rang out, and the shells whistled past!
Water splashed everywhere.
However, the pirates on the seventh ship remained unmoved. They held their weapons tightly and waited for the final moment to arrive!
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a cannonball landed on the deck. In just an instant, it pierced through the wooden deck. The huge impact sent dozens of pirates flying!
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and broken corpses rained down!
The entire ship shook!
However, the ship did not stop because of this, and the pirates on the deck were not afraid at all!
To the pirates of the Skull Island, they were not afraid of death at all!
"Boom!"
Another cannonball landed!
Another huge explosion sounded!
However, the pirates were still staring ahead…
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Perhaps the Japanese had already adjusted their firing units, but three consecutive shots hit the Skeleton Island ship.
How could a wooden ship withstand five consecutive cannonballs?
At this moment, the entire ship was in tatters, and seawater was constantly pouring in!
This ship was about to sink…
