This warehouse is not only wide, but also long.
There is nothing on the gate and walls of this warehouse, empty, and there are no signs.
Zhao Wen looked at the warehouse with doubts on his face.
"What kind of weapons can be stored in such a warehouse?" Zhao Wen whispered a few words, then walked towards the warehouse.
After a few breaths, Zhao Wen violently destroyed the big lock and pushed open the door of the warehouse.
As soon as the door was pushed open, Zhao Wen was stunned by the scene inside.
I saw the 66-type 152mm cannon howitzer painted with green paint neatly placed inside.
In addition to these cannons, there are neatly placed shells next to these cannons.
Zhao Wen looked at the neatly placed Type 66 152mm cannon howitzers in the warehouse, his eyes glowed green.
"Type 66 152mm cannon howitzer, this is a good guy. These guys can be used as coastal defense guns. Although this gun can't be compared with the large-caliber coastal defense guns in World War I, but in this era, It's enough."
Zhao Wen walked to the front of a cannon, patted the cannon body, his face was full of excitement.
The Type 66 152mm cannon howitzer is a cannon imitated from Big Brother's D-20 152mm cannon howitzer. This gun is powerful, lethal, and easy to operate.
The maximum range is 7000 meters, the minimum range is 4000 meters, and the direct range is 800 meters.
The shells used are cartridge test shells, the weight of the shells used is 45 kg, and the killing radius is about 60 meters.
Zhao Wen looked at these cannons with excitement on his face.
In addition to these artillery and shells, Zhao Wen also found the artillery manual and daily maintenance manual.
With the addition of these two books, Zhao Wen can get started more quickly.
After putting away these two books, Zhao Wen carried the artillery out of the warehouse.
Today's soldiers are no strangers to the weapons that Zhao Wen carried out. After all, they have seen them a lot, so they are used to them.
This time, Zhao Wen didn't carry many cannons, only thirty pieces of artillery.
After these thirty artillery pieces were brought out by Zhao Wen, ten of them were installed in the forts of the ten coastal defense artillery near the port.
The remaining [-] gates were placed in the open space near the port. After the construction of the new Zeelandia city was completed, Zhao Wen would place these [-] gates on the city wall of Zeelandia city.
In the next few days, Zhao Wen taught these soldiers how to operate the cannon according to the contents of the manual.
The 66-type 152mm cannon howitzer is no better than others, and it is more difficult to operate than the 40-fire.
Now Zhao Wen doesn't expect these people to hit a hundred shots, even if they hit five out of ten shots, Zhao Wen can laugh from ear to ear.
For better training, Zhao Wen deliberately selected more than 2 talented soldiers from the nearly 100 people on the island.These soldiers were the artillery specially selected by Zhao Wen.
After these soldiers were selected, Zhao Wen taught them day and night.
After Zhao Wen's hard teaching, these soldiers are also learning quickly.
While studying, Zhao Wen kept asking them to shoot with live ammunition.
In just a few days, hundreds of shells were fired.
Consuming so many shells is not without achievements, at least these soldiers have mastered the basic use of artillery.
As time passed day by day, a huge fleet gradually appeared on the sea outside Zeelandia City.
Although Zheng Yiguan had attacked Zhao Wen with more than 800 ships before.
However, the quality of Zheng Yiguan's more than 800 ships is far inferior to that of Cohen's fleet.
In Zheng Yiguan's fleet, the largest ship is the Fuchuan.
Compared with the third-level sailing warship, the Fuchuan is smaller than 01:30.
The main function of Fuchuan is transportation, and the third-class sailing warships are produced for war.
When Cohen's fleet just appeared in the waters outside Zeelandia, Zhao Wen got the news.
Sitting in the big tent, Zhao Wen slapped the table in front of him and shouted loudly: "As expected, it's finally here.
How far is Hongyi from us now? "
Zhao Wen looked at a messenger in the tent.
The messenger replied: "My lord, we are only a hundred miles away."
Zhao Wen looked at the people in the big tent and shouted loudly: "Send the order, the construction of Zeelandia City will stop immediately, and all soldiers will immediately enter combat positions.
Let me lay the five treasure ships across the port, and point their sides at them.
At the same time, if the Hongyi did not launch a large-scale attack on us, let's not fight back aggressively, lest these Hongyi get scared and run away. "
Following Zhao Wen's order, the entire city of Zeelandia moved instantly, and the soldiers in the city came to their combat positions under Zhao Wen's command.
除过港口的十门岸防炮之外，赵文还在港口附近的空地上安排了数量庞大的107火箭炮、120迫击炮、40火和那二十门66式152毫米加农榴弹炮。
The ten coastal defense artillery turrets on the port are a fort like a bunker, and each turret has a 107 rocket launcher and a 66-type 152mm cannon howitzer.
If you are dealing with ordinary enemies, these ten forts are enough. After all, warships in this era are basically made of wood.
But now they are dealing with Hong Yi, who is the most powerful at sea. Although these artillery are powerful, there is always nothing wrong with being cautious.
Cohn was standing on the deck of the flagship, looking at the city of Zeelandia through a binoculars.
"I remember that there were not so many forts in the port, what happened to these Ming people, how did they build so many forts?
And near the port, why are there so many weird-looking things that look like cannons, but they don't quite look like them.
There are also these ships in the port, which are too big.I have never seen such a large ship. "Cohen looked at the artillery and the treasure ships in the port through the monocular, his face full of horror.
"The order continues, don't get close to the port, now that the port is very evil, let's not move.
Rest for one night first, and launch a tentative attack tomorrow. Cohen put away the binoculars and said solemnly to the orderly behind him.
When Cohen's order was conveyed, the entire fleet floated quietly on the sea, keeping a distance from the port of Zeelandia.
And now the port of Zeelandia City and the positions near the port have been deployed.
Zhao Wen led several personal guards and stood on the port. He held up the binoculars and kept observing the fleet on the sea.

Chapter 319 Tentative Offensive
After a long time, Zhao Wen put down the binoculars in his hand, and sighed: "It is worthy of being called a coachman at sea, these sailing battleships alone are not comparable to Zheng Yiguan."
Zhao Wen turned around and said to the soldiers behind him: "Send the order, let everyone cheer me up and be ready at all times."
After Zhao Wen finished speaking, he led the guards behind him to patrol the position.
Today's position is covered with all kinds of weapons, and all the soldiers stay at their posts, looking at the fleet ahead.
There are a large number of boxes containing ammunition piled up on the position.
Five treasure ships lay across the port, facing the direction of Korn's fleet.
Time passed quietly, and the sun in the sky gradually set towards the west.
The sky in the west is covered with sunset glow, which looks a different kind of beauty.
As the saying goes, if the morning glow does not go out, the evening glow travels thousands of miles.
Zhao Wen stood in front of the position, looked at the sunset in the west, and murmured, "Tomorrow will be a sunny day."
The sun gradually fell below the sea level, and the sky gradually dimmed.
The soldiers on the defensive positions also started to light fires and cook, replenishing their physical strength for tomorrow's battle.
Cohen also passed on the order for the sailors and soldiers on board to have dinner.
After dinner, it was completely dark.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the moonlight in the sky sprinkled on the sea surface, intertwined with the sea surface, glowing with silvery white light.
Soldiers in the field sleep where they are, next to their weapons.
The night watchmen patrolled the position non-stop, and the sailors and soldiers in Cohen's fleet gradually fell asleep.
In the flagship of the fleet, the cabin where Cohen was sitting was full of people.
Cohen looked at the people in the cabin and said, "We will launch an attack on Zeelandia's port after dawn tomorrow.
But judging from today's situation, the situation at the port is quite different from before.
So, I need someone to take the lead and launch a tentative attack on the port first. Which of you will go? "
Cohen looked at everyone in the cabin and frowned.
These people in the cabin are the commanders of the fleet.
This time Cohen had a total of 120 warships, which Cohen divided into eleven formations.
The [-] third-class sailing battleships were under the direct command of Cohen, and the remaining [-] armed merchant ships formed a small formation of ten, which was divided into ten formations.
When fighting, it is mainly based on small teams.
Just as Cohen finished speaking, a bearded man stood up. He looked at Cohen and said in a low voice, "Your Excellency, I am willing to lead ten armed merchant ships under my command to attack the port."
"Hilde, are you sure?" Cohen asked.
Hilde patted his chest and said disapprovingly: "Your Excellency, we have never been afraid of anyone on the sea, and now we are just some small wise people, I don't pay attention to these people at all.
It's just some yellow-skinned monkeys, I still don't believe that they can be as powerful as the empire? "
This Hilde is well-known in this sea area of Southeast Asia, and he is a scumbag.
He is the owner of a privateer directly belonging to the East India Company, and he has robbed countless merchant ships in this sea area of Southeast Asia.
The ten ships led by Hilde are all armed merchant ships, so it would be appropriate to go to test them.
Cohen patted the table in front of him and said with a smile on his face: "In that case, I will send you there tomorrow.
Remember, you only need to test it out, but don't rush and fight, don't love to fight, you just need to test out their strength.
The five ships on the port are really too big, I always feel that these Ming people are not ordinary. "
If it were an ordinary enemy, Cohen would not be so cautious at all, just press the warship up and fire at the enemy.
In this era, few enemies could withstand the attack of twenty sailing battleships.
But the five treasure ships lying across the port were too big, and Cohen had to be careful.
Hilde patted his chest and said loudly: "I will never forget the governor's entrustment."
The night was getting darker, but Cohen's cabin was still brightly lit.
Cohen and Zhong Zhong in the cabin were constantly discussing tomorrow's battle plan.
At the same time, Zhao Wen's big tent was also discussing tomorrow's battle plan.
Zhao Wen looked at Zhao Daniu and said, "Daniu, tomorrow you will be in charge of five treasure ships."
"The subordinates take orders!" Zhao Daniu clasped his fists at Zhao Wen and said loudly.
"Song Hu, tomorrow you will be in charge of the defensive position north of the port."
"Subordinates take orders!"
"Mao Chengzuo, tomorrow you will be in charge of the defensive position south of the port."
"Subordinates take orders!"
"As for the ten coastal defense artillery batteries on the port, I will be in charge.
After tomorrow's battle started, the communication between these parties was all replaced by semaphore communication. "Zhao Wen looked at the few people in the big tent and said calmly.
"I will obey your lord's order!"
Several people stood up, clasped their fists at Zhao Wen, and said sonorously.
……
Overnight, the sun slowly rose from the sea level.
Cohen's fleet gradually moved into action. When the day was three poles high, Hilde commanded his ten armed merchant ships to slowly drive at the forefront of the entire fleet.
Hilde stood on the deck of the armed merchant ship he was on. He looked at the port ahead and shouted loudly: "Come on!!!"
