Chapter 400: The 3rd Battle of Batavia

The southeast warships marched against the wind and went "zig-zag", while the Dutch fleet attacked directly. The scene of the two huge fleets unfolding on the sea made every participant feel passionate, and the heavy responsibility was on their shoulders.

At present, the Southeast Army’s battle line is full of elites. In addition to Yan Changwu, there are Storm, Kostit, Sires Maccabot (all came to China to help foreigners), such as Gan Hui, Hong Xiguan, Yan Zhang, Cheng Yu, Xiao Changrong, Shi Daxuan, the earliest naval officers (in fact, they were still quite young) commanded a battleship.

There are also the "older" Gantang, Qi Tianfang, Zhao Tianjing, Zhang Shili, Zhang Qiang, Xu Weiye, Huang Min, etc., commanding the larger Tier 5 cruisers. As for the young Captain Xiao Maotou, who have just graduated or been certified soon. , Which is a product of assault induction, relies on their youthful vigor and the confidence given by strengthened training to follow the action of the large force. A century of the navy is by no means easy to deal with. If it weren’t for the training of Chunchun from foreign instructors and the intensive training of moon, water, fire, wood, gold, and gold, those officers wouldn’t even be able to get out of warships.

It's a good thing to use battle lines to fight, and everyone just follow up. If the fighting starts in chaos, it is likely to be chaotic.

Now the Southeast Fleet is divided into three parts, with Xiao Changrong as the leader of the battle line, he is in charge of the pilot, followed by Cheng Yu, the forward flagship Siresma (both battleships).

There are three battleships, three tier five cruisers, and eighteen tier six cruisers;

The Chinese Army has ten battleships, ten fifth-tier cruisers, and eighteen sixth-tier cruisers;

The rear army has three battleships, three fifth-tier cruisers, and eighteen sixth-tier cruisers, under the command of Storm;

The lineup was huge, and the Dutch team was reduced by three ships. They suffered too much damage from the battleship and did not participate in the battle.

Even so, their long formation made the Southeast Fleet suffer a lot after the war!

The two long line of gunboats were close to 100 meters apart, and they bombarded each other fiercely. The shells pierced through the edges in the sun, the flames flashed, the thick smoke rolled, and the sound reverberated in the sea. It lasted for more than three full hours, from nine o'clock in the morning to twelve noon.

This kind of you bombing me, I bombing you each other is extremely bloody, the Dutch have the upper hand position, the muzzle is facing down, most of the shells hit the hull of the southeast ship, and the bulwark was lightly perforated. , In heavy, the bulwark collapsed, and the original mighty hull became tattered.

The hard bridge and the hard horses were shot in line, and the Dutch attacked concentratedly. With a loud noise, the artillery shells slammed into the sky. The starboard sides of the Southeast ships were tortured and horrified. Some battleships and even the bow towers were bombed. When collapsed, the lower part became a **** of flesh and blood.

The 24-pound heavy artillery used was so powerful that the muffled sound of heavy artillery bombardment that caused the Southeast Army’s palpitations moved from far to near, and another round of new salvos, the artillery shells fired like a shower, the Southeast ship "Kaohsiung 23" was hit. After several bullets hit, its upper deck was almost overturned amidst the huge roar. The officers and soldiers on the ship were blown to the ground, and the shells smashed the entire Kaohsiung 23.

The rest of the ships were not much better, and the gun deck was hit hard by the opponent. As the gun deck was the focus of the Dutch attack, the Southeast Army's gunners suffered heavy casualties!

According to statistics after the event, 21 deputy captains were killed and wounded, and 36 gun officers were killed and wounded. In order to defeat the Dutch, these officers who stayed on the gun deck paid a tragic price.

The gunners died and wounded. Even so, no one dared to retreat, because the officers took the lead and held on to their posts, because of the instigation of political and war officials, and of course military laws. Those who fear war will immediately engage in military laws and will never forgive them!

However, the Southeast Fleet did not make the enemy better. They were downwind and the muzzle was upward, so the artillery on the gun deck fired more chain rounds.

The chain bounced like a meteor, smashing through the sails of the white gunboats, breaking their sails, or sweeping their cables like a razor, causing them to fall off the sails. The most powerful thing is to directly break the enemy’s sails. Mast!

The artillery on the gun deck has a very low effect on destroying the enemy’s hull and killing enemy personnel, and the gun deck is under the focus of the enemy’s onslaught. The casualties are not small, but the gunners on the gun deck still keep firing their guns, firing frantically, even if they hit the sky. , A rope to destroy the enemy is a rope. Don’t miss the shells, it means success!

With the unremitting efforts of the gunners, at least ten Dutch ships have become "hairless birds"-there are only two or three masts on the ship (some ships are brigs), and all the sails around them fell. Bare is like a hairless bird.

More than 20 warships had severely damaged masts, and half of the warships had various types of mast damage.

What's bad is that the Dutch were unable to repair the damaged sails because the Southeast Army had blood washed their open decks!

The commander-in-chief of the Southeast Army, Yan Changwu, regardless of his ability to govern the country and the military, his theoretical level is quite high. He taught his army: "Be good at using weapons in your hand to attack the enemy" and "full subjective initiative"!

His officers and soldiers learned to understand and thoroughly implemented the spirit of the document... (a few hundred words are omitted from official articles).

Therefore, the officers and soldiers on the open deck of the Southeast Ship lowered the muzzle of the open deck gun and tilted it toward their open deck to sweep away the enemy with shotguns.

Coupled with the blast of muskets, the projectiles swept across the open deck of the Dutch ship like rain, and the exploded bomb pieces shot out like scattered sand, bringing out patches of blood!

As a result, the officers on the gun deck of the southeast ship suffered heavy casualties, while the officers on the open deck of the Dutch ship suffered heavy casualties. The deputy captain of the southeast ship died (the deputy captain often stayed on the gun deck during the battle), and the captain of the Dutch ship died (both of them). Command on the open deck)

Due to the great loss of the existing gun deck, the officers and soldiers on the open deck of the Southeast ship were extremely angry. They fired and fired very much, smashed the hypocrisy in life with guns, and sent the guinea pigs to see their god!

The guinea pigs on the open deck had nowhere to hide, and Governor Hendrick Brouwer even hid in the poop!

A burst of bullets hit, UU reading www.uukanshu.com protected his guards from death and injury, and a group of them fell. Even he was shot in the left shoulder. The other red hairs were so scared that they were so scared that he was the governor. , Regardless of him, the Governor died first, anyway, we just don't stop the gun!

The rest of the Hong Maofan looked for places to hide, and the brown boys who called were even worse. As soon as the Southeast Army shot over, they fell—not hitting them, but pretending to be dead, so tall and tall. The governor of China became a good target for the Southeast Army and had to hide.

Their captain was killed, the helmsman changed one after another, and the sailors on the mast were no longer visible—all were swept down!

Although the Dutch beat the southeast ship's gun deck out of shape, the Southeast Army swept the Dutch ship's open deck clean.

Originally, the battleships with the upper hand often had the advantage, but the Southeast Army taught the Dutch a solid lesson!
