327 Victory of the Second Battle of Batavia
It seems that the number of Dutch ships is more, but the morale is completely different!
Yan Changwu's hard work was not in vain. After several years of hard work, the officer corps took shape. They were brave in combat, skilled in business, strong-willed, firm in belief, and noble in moral character. They were tightly united around the ruling class with Yan Changwu as the core and were loyal to him.
Effectiveness.
The soldier class is not as awesome as the Southeastern Officer Corps, but the education in the military melting pot is very effective. The soldiers all know that it is natural for them to serve as soldiers and work hard. The commander-in-chief has done what he should do for everyone. He never treats everyone badly. Since everyone joins him
If you are in the army, you should sell your life to him! (If you don’t want to do it, you can quit. Of course, if you don’t serve in the military, there will be consequences. Don’t blame us for not predicting it)
This simple concept is understood by all soldiers and they practice it, and no one dares to retreat.
When the young commander issued a call: "Defeat the Dutch fleet and destroy the Dutch!" It was an overwhelming response. All the officers and soldiers were eager to fight and were ready to give the Dutch a blow.
As for the Dutch, they don't have a comprehensive pension system like the Southeast Army. Once they are killed or disabled in battle, the East India Company will give some money, but don't expect a lot.
At first, the Dutch came to hear that there were many rich people there who were stupid, and they thought about how powerful those yellow-skinned monkeys could be. The veteran red-haired fans defeated them in minutes. Who expected that when the two sides started fighting, they realized how powerful the yellow-skinned monkeys were.
So capable!
This time they had other ideas, and their morale was not as courageous as before.
Even so, it will not be easy for the Southeast Fleet to win, after all, the opponent has many ships.
Sure enough, once the war started, the Southeast Fleet attacked with one battle line. This time the Dutch formed two lines, with forty warships on one side and fourteen warships on the other, mainly to rob the wind and prepare to attack the Southeast Fleet in two lines!
Looking at the opponent's movements, Yan Changwu ordered to move forward as usual. Anyway, he could hit the starboard and starboard sides without missing a beat.
Soon the two battle lines were fighting, and artillery shells were fired out one after another, hitting the opponent hard.
The two sides fought very hard. Not long after the battle began, smoke quickly filled the passage where the two sides were fighting, and the other side couldn't see clearly the position of the other side!
Although the gunners of the Southeast Fleet are mechanized, skilled in movement, and quick in firing, the Dutch veteran gunners also tried their best. When they returned to Hong Kong, the foreign chiefs asked them not to lose to the yellow-skinned monkeys, but they still managed to live up to their expectations!
The wind was fast today, and soon the battle line was halfway through. Even if everyone couldn't see each other and didn't know what the situation was, the gunners on each side were firing hard.
The long tail whistling sound of the artillery shells came one after another, and the "boom-boom-" explosions were heard endlessly. Thousands of artillery fired fiercely, and the shells fell as densely as rain.
The banging noise keeps ringing!
Clouds of smoke rose, and the artillery fire from both sides was quite accurate. Hitting the other's ship was often accompanied by screams from personnel of various races.
Artillery fire continued all over the sky, and the entire sea trembled with the sound of explosions. In addition to the smell of gunpowder smoke, there was also a faint fishy smell in the air. Is it the sea breeze? Or the smell of blood?...
…
The Dutch's second battle line made a big circle and gained the upper hand. They pounced fiercely on the Southeast Fleet. The first ones to bear the brunt were the lead ship Southeast No. 2 and the forward flagship Nanhai No. 3!
The main task of these Dutch ships is to concentrate superior forces to attack the big ships, surround them, sink them, and severely damage the morale of these yellow-skinned monkeys.
Southeast No. 2 Captain Cheng Yu immediately fell into siege!
At least four Dutch ships fired shells, and using the left and right broadsides, he could only fight two. The other two Dutch ships hit him easily and happily!
Southeast No. 2 was hit one after another, and screams continued to be heard from the ship. There was a loud earthquake, and a shell hit the port side wall next to the poop, which immediately collapsed the bulwark, and pieces of wood flew into the air.
He beat the two Southeastern troops next to him and sent them flying to the starboard wall!
Cheng Yu, who was a little further away, felt severe pain in his eyes, and a fast wooden thorn pierced his left eye like a flying arrow!
A ray of blood flowed from his eye socket, and he could no longer see anything!
If there were modern medical conditions, maybe he could save his eyes, but now he can't, he has become a one-eyed dragon!
He was seriously injured, but he just complained: "The pilot ship is really not done by humans!"
When the doctor came to treat him and made a fuss, Cheng Yu said lightly: "Mazu bless me, fortunately this wooden thorn did not hit my throat!"
He bandaged up briefly and continued to direct the battle, as if nothing had happened.
The pilot ship was not blocked for long. The warships behind him were outflanking each other, and in turn surrounded the Dutch ship blocking Cheng Yu. The formations of both sides were chaotic and they were fighting!
…
"Fire with all your strength! Fire!" Yan Donglai from Southeast No. 1 shouted.
His battleship broke away from the formation and moved forward to the Nanhai No. 1 flagship to protect the flagship. It was immediately flanked by three rushing Dutch ships.
The opponent's artillery fire hit them head-on. Southeast No. 1 fired its bows from left to right, and all the officers and soldiers fought hard!
The red-haired sailors on the Dutch ship "Baodong Notre Dame" in front of the Southeast No. 1 were surprised to find that the two Dutch ships on the left and right sides of the Southeast No. 1 were defeated in the bombardment with the Southeast No. 1!
The gunners of the Southeast No. 1 fired four volleys feverishly within five minutes, hitting at least 180 of their 200 shells. They easily beat the two Dutch ships until the sound of cannons fell silent and they fled!
Then Southeast No. 1 pressed towards the "Baodong Notre Dame". Seeing the menacing appearance of the opponent, the "Baodong Notre Dame", which also had 50 guns, did not dare to confront the enemy and simply pulled up the sails and fled!
"Well done!" Yan Donglai won the battle easily and couldn't help but laugh loudly!
The entire Southeast No. 1 battleship burst into cheers, laughing at the Dutchmen's incompetence and rubbish.
Yan Changwu, who was on the flagship, saw his majesty and nodded with satisfaction!
Back then, Yan Donglai was just a young fisherman from the mainland. Without the rise of the Southeast Army, he would have been a lowly civilian!
After joining the Southeast Fleet, he became an excellent general and devoted himself to learning combat skills. His skills were extremely solid. The gunners he trained were better than the old Dutch pilots!
Our efforts were not in vain!
…
Heroes in the battle continued to emerge. Storm, who commanded Nanhai No. 2 and took over the position of Captain Li Ying, found the Dutch flagship, the forty-six-gun "Guild" on the starboard side. He saw Governor Speke.
, so he shouted with instructions: "This is the governor of the Dutch, kill him and avenge Captain Li Ying!"
When the enemy saw this, he was extremely jealous. Now all the officers and soldiers of Nanhai No. 2 were full of blood and started working feverishly.
The two ships were firing at each other, shells were flying, and you were coming and going. The two warships were immediately in a mess!
Seeing that Governor Speke was protected by heavy human shields, Storm immediately made a tactical coordination and used a 12-pounder gun on the starboard side to fire canisters in the direction of Governor Speke, while letting one man hide on the mast.
The sharpshooter manually used the Truth 2 sniper rifle!
Peng!
Chapter completed!
