Chapter 1070

”Boom, boom "

with the roar, the whole coast of Jakarta was covered by artillery fire. Under the power of large caliber shells, the trench positions carefully purchased by the Netherlands were lifted up from time to time, with a height of more than 10 meters of soil.

The trembling Dutch soldiers hid in the trenches dug in advance at the first time when they were bombarded by the artillery, but even so, there were still casualties in the places directly bombed by the artillery.

Simon and Avril were also hiding in such holes, which Dutch soldiers have now jokingly called cat's ears.

"Damn, when will these bombings end?"

The deafening sound of bombing did not stop, and the dust on the earth cave rustled down. At this time, it was also a great pressure to hide in such a hole.

The other Dutch soldiers, clutching their ears and shivering, had no energy to listen to Simon's roar.

After cursing for twenty minutes, Simon suddenly felt as if the world had calmed down.

At this time, he immediately climbed the cave and stepped on it with a stool. In his eyes, the soldiers of the Chinese Empire were coming to the coast in a small boat.

Finding this, Simon immediately yelled, "everyone, get ready to fight now!"

As his voice fell, the Dutch soldiers each rushed out of the hole with a stool. The soldiers in the first row put down the stool and stepped on it to stretch their heads out of the ditch.

Behind these soldiers stood two rows of soldiers, who were ready to hand up the muskets filled with ammunition at any time according to the captured muskets.

Looking at this scene, Simon was slightly satisfied. It was because he believed that the attack of the Chinese Empire could be seriously damaged by this way that they chose to stay here.

At the other end of the trench, iver was also well prepared. Although he envied the advanced firearms of the Chinese Empire, he also understood that human vision was limited. Basically, soldiers could maintain accuracy within 200 meters. Beyond this value, bullets were basically inaccurate and could only kill people by probability.

"Let's fight to the death, Jakarta is mine." Iver had cruelty in his eyes. He knew very well the value of this resource rich colony with a population of more than 9 million.

It can be said that before the establishment of trade with the Chinese Empire, Jakarta has always been the economic center of the Netherlands in Asia, and its status is similar to that of India in the United Kingdom.

At sea.

Yue Yun and Lei Ming are using binoculars to observe the beach. Different from the previous single telescope, now with the improvement of the Imperial military industry ability, they have used binoculars.

"The effect of this artillery preparation made the Dutch very embarrassed." Thunder said with a smile, although he saw many Dutch soldiers entering the battle position, he also saw wounded soldiers being transported out of the ditch.

"But it's not enough." Yue Yun said: "the rest depends on the girls themselves. We still have to save our shells for naval battles. We can't continue to consume them like this."

Lei Ming felt sorry, but he knew what Yue Yun had said. Now the Dutch warship had not appeared, and he could not say what was wrong.

His voice fell, suddenly the soldiers on the observation tower issued a warning, and the soldiers' fingers pointed to the southeast.

Yue Yun immediately took it to the telescope and saw 50 sailing warships coming towards them.

Looking at the soldiers who were landing, he said, "they are smart, but they overestimate their ability."

After that, he immediately asked the semaphore to give an order. Twelve armored ships left the warship group and sailed in the direction of the Dutch warships. For him, twelve warships were more than enough to deal with 50 Dutch warships, because it was an unequal war.

"Are twelve warships enough? It's no joke. Once they come, our landing forces will lose a lot. " Thunder was a little nervous. He didn't want his soldiers to lose their lives at sea.

Yue Yun is full of self-confidence, "sending 12 warships is enough for their face, otherwise six warships will be enough."

After swallowing his saliva, thunder looked at the nearer and nearer sailing warships, and his eyes widened, because he knew that these warships must be equipped with their similar blossom bombs, which was a great threat to them.

Eric stood on the deck and looked at the imperial warships coming from the third route. He was pale. He knew that there was going to be a fierce naval battle.

If all the warships of the Chinese Empire were pressed down, he would not worry. Now he is really afraid to send only 12 warships, because this proves that these armored warships are terrible. That's why Yue Yun is so confident.

They were still three or four miles apart, and it was too late for him to escape, but as a Dutch soldier, he obviously could not.

Biting teeth, he also head-on, now they are in the upwind, which is very beneficial for them, in the moment of contact, they can use the wind direction to complete the "t".

"General, may I begin?" On the king, the adjutant asked Yue Yun for instructions.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and they are about to enter the fighting distance.

Yue Yun nodded, he said: "let's start, and end the battle as soon as possible!" He has no worries about this battle. In the face of the absolute power gap, the war is just a unilateral crushing."Yes, general!" The adjutant turned and returned. He said to the messenger waiting for the order, "fire!"

The small red flag was waving in the hands of the herald, and then a roar sounded. Standing on the deck, the thunder only saw the frigate trembling, and the conical shell flew to the distant Dutch fleet with the speed of thunder. In an instant, the Dutch warship, the leader of the fleet, was hit by the shell and turned into a sea of fire.

"Do these fools think we'll fight for t? Our warships are omnidirectional. " Yue Yun sneered.

The warships are burning, the sawdust is scattered in the sea, the blue ocean is dyed red in an instant, and the sea is full of the sad sound of Dutch soldiers struggling.

"Help, help!" Cried the Dutch soldier in the water.

Blood soon attracted the sharks, and the Dutch soldiers were able to see the sharks swimming under their feet, which deepened their fear.

But Eric has been scared silly, just numbly looking at the struggling soldiers in the water.

Other Dutch soldiers were also shocked by this amazing scene. They were all senior navy soldiers, but they had never encountered such a strange situation.

In the face of the Chinese Imperial Navy, they felt powerless.

But this was just the beginning of their fear. After the shelling, the frigate with black smoke approached them with amazing speed and surrounded them in three directions.

In the face of such an emergency, erikston's heart sank to the bottom of the river www.novelhall.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
